Oh hey, that might be why Zozz survived getting his head chopped off, he's got immortality nails in his skull just like Jagganoth does.

e: Well you know, that and being Royalty.

Zoss didn't survive, he just didn't see any reason that being dead should stop him.

I remember reading somewhere that he's somehow possessing a servant or something. He's apparently something of a freak about mortals and flesh.

Edit: Assuming you're talking about the giant sphinx-devil and not something else. I may have misread.

'Little' things like that show the true gulf between true Royalty like Zoss, and the Demiurges. For Zoss, death is no longer a relevant concept. He is beyond.

I wonder what his purpose is in all this.

I seriously want a hardcover trade, my paperback is getting ragged. Operant! Come to an Oz Comicon so I can get this signed :D

Didn't Operant basically say to whoever first suggested the "why should being killed mean I die" thing that they were several steps further along the path to Royalty than the Demiurges?

I imagine that has a lot to do with how "I", that is to say the self, is a delusion.

In other words Max Stirner would never achieve Royalty.

He'd make for a fantastic demiurge, though.

Royalty and CHIM have the same concept here- the important thing is to hold these two contradictory truths in your head at the same time:

1. "I" don't exist- I am merely a dream of the godhead, an opinion.
2. I exist and it's my goddamn dream and my goddamn opinion.

Zoss is far enough along that path that death isn't enough to cancel out truth 2. He exists because he damned well says he exists, "cause" and "effect" be hosed.

I don't think it would be physically possible for him to do that even if he worked 80 hours a week. He'd have to like, hire other artists. Which defeats half the point.

So when the newspost says "the next official update day will be Tuesday (10/21)" I assume Oliphant's not talking about the 21st of October, 2025, or what

The current newspost says 2/21 though?

He tends to post them late PST, especially when they're knucklebusters.

i like this scene because as far as allison's new friends are concerned they could leave her unsupervised just this once because she's crippled and near dead and can't do anything, but sadly in the five drat seconds they took their eyes off her she managed to sell her soul to gay satan and is now shooting fireballs

quote:

Q
The more I think about Zoss' death, the more I think the demiurges are coming at the problem of mortality from the wrong angle. They avoid death through agelessness or immunity to physical harm - but why bother? If you mean to be sovereign from the laws of gods and men, then why accept causality at all? Everyone dies eventually; just get it over with, and put off the consequences until you're ready for them. Just because you've been killed doesn't mean you have to be dead.

Seems like you’ve taken a few steps up the Sevenfold path to Royalty there, anon.
