There has to be a whole porn genre where Soloman David just comes up to your place of work. There just has to be.

lovecraft was a man who had an extreme case of broke-brains and was afraid of basically everything that he didnt perceive as white people or made by white people

for example, you probably found the word cyclopean at some point or another in his work. this is what he was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopean_masonry

im not entirely sure what the angle is here yet, is solomon disrobing and manifesting his hotwheels track because hes going to punish somebody here for some reason or because hes about to make a display of moving the block himself and tell the guys to go home and get some dang dinner/fuckin/sleep already

either way im p sure this is not an accident that hes doing this in front of zaid

Solly D is having a good string of looking relatively sane and reasonable especially by demiurge standards, so I'm just waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop.

Like perhaps this is all a carefully rehearsed scene to cast a good impression on actually-not-the-real-heir.

I don't see Solomon David dissembling or lying, except possibly to himself. He seems like very much a "gently caress you, I am Paternum" kind of guy.

its gonna end with him trying to hand his kingdom over to alison, it somehow collapses into barbarity, he declares vengeance on her for showing that all of his work was meaningless

Solomon David's gonna be a total bro who encounters Allison, realizes she's completely right about his flaws as a demiurge and pledges his full support to the group as part of his quest to become a better person. Allison will defeat him completely nonviolently, with a solution that's the best for everyone.

And so he'll completely deny us a cool cosmic kung-fu battle. The truest villainy of all.

I'm just saying, if Operant wants us to truly despise Solomon David...

solomon david is not gonna turn out to be a good guy (in the sense of good person, though hes not going to wind up allied w the protagonist either lmao). he thinks he is, and appears to be trying to be one, but if you're possibly the least broken terrible person out of a bunch of broken terrible people youre still a broken terrible person

as for a reasonable job, idk if that is an adjective one can apply to ruling a seventh of the universe in any sense tbh. relatively reasonable, possibly

like so far it seems he really wanted to be a very loved and just king beloved for his wisdom and eventually surpassed but he totally hosed that up and all he's got is a seventh of the universe in awe of his power and his feeble idiot heartbeat away from chaos and ruin

No, he wouldn't even be a good ruler for 1 family. Anyone who has had a father knows that they can be a tyrant on the smallest scale. It's for your own good.

Solomon David creates suffering without realizing it so that he can make himself feel good+strong by relieving it. His people work themselves to the bone for his sake, but the benefit is not his glory (as they think) but his pride. He doesn't have to stage a scene like this for Zaid, because this scene plays out wherever he goes and his entire civilization is designed to create scenes like this. The demiurges change their worlds to suit their self-image, because they're all-powerful narcissists.

Right. Sol Dave is a Hero in the classic sense of being a person with immense power and drive, but he's not really a hero in the conventional sense of "good and noble person." He may not bathe in the blood of virgins or turn people into trees, but the most reasonable and level-headed tyrant is still a tyrant.
