I think it's worth noting that Abbadon has taken a heap of inspiration from Morrowind and the Neverar Prophecy is pretty interesting because to accommodate your player choice the universe pretty much has to just concede that Prophecy in general is a guideline and if you produce a situation that matches it enough you can just force it to happen. If that's the case with the Heir and everything else we end up with a set of events that will come to pass but the players are all pretty much interchangeable as long as they fit the description. We've already maybe seen Alison replace Zaid this way, Vigilant Gaze too. Oh poo poo a snype... uh..uhh... Vigilant Gayz

“Lord Intra,” said Intra’s sparring partner one day, “You are called Lord of Games. Yet you are a man, and men make poor gamers.” “It is true,” said Intra, for nearly all of the famous gamers of the day were women and the ya-at, who were three sexed. This tradition was rather long in the bones, and rumored to have been started by a famous vagrant who rarely cut her hair and lived in a barrel. There was popular theater about it, in those days. “Men are too preoccupied with their joysticks,” said Lord Intra, “They get distracted.” “You mistake my meaning,” said Intra’s sparring partner, “What I mean is this: you are a mere man. What can you do to the new gods of the Red City, with their power gloves and turbo controllers?” “I am not concerned with enmity,” said Intra, “I am very skilled in Donkey Kong 64” “It is true you are very fierce,” conceded his partner, “But my son's leftuber is also very fierce. Could his leftuber own The Immaculate Master of Logic?” “That depends,” said Intra, “How skilled is the leftuber in Donkey Kong 64?” “Hbomberguy cannot learn Donkey Kong 64, Lord Intra,” said Intra’s attendant, and made a bitter motion. “Don’t tell hbomberguy that,” said Intra, who was very skilled at smiling. “If you don’t tell him he will learn it anyway and cut The Immaculate Master of Logic in half with a single hot take.” -The Song of Maybe

Tulip posted:The demiurges seem mostly pretty unhappy. Mammon and Jadis openly want to die, Nadia was crippled by anxiety before her husband got killed again, Davey seems to have some pretty depressive ennui, Gog-Agog has fun but also doesn't seem happy with herself and constantly craves more. Incubus is a bitter 'lol nothing matters' type and he might be the closest to satisfaction? Which is pretty hosed up because he's pretty far from it. I mean, judging by how YISUN praised Aesma for being the most hungry of his disciples, it seems rather clear that power in KSBD boils down to being unsatisfied, for who can wield the terrible blade of Want if they have everything they desire? The demiurges are just failing because they don't want enough to get out of their rut really (while Zoss wanted change enough to die for it), but they had to have wanted at least some things to get as far as they have.

Jagganoth has been Wanting more for a long time. What did they fight the war for? This? So Solomon can pretend to be the just emperor while he splits up families, so Gog-Agog can pretend that all the empty shells staring at her are people who like her? Just burn it all. Maybe something worthwhile can grow from that.

There’s no ‘maybe something worthwhile’ for Jagganoth as far as we know. He’s Escaflowne the movie’s Folken, who thinks the only solution to suffering is to end the world.

Ah, is that why Jadis got block'd? She successfully took the shortcut to her desires and ended up overshooting past wanting things.

I know exactly what's showing up on Jadis' icecube during that red glow reflecting on Solomon's face: RAYUBA CHAOS DUNK ADVISORY WARNING! A MEASURED 19.7 MEGAJOULE OF NEGATIVE BBALL PROTONS HAVE BEEN DETECTED. A CHAOS DUNK IS IMMINENT.

I'd probably freak out too if the all-seeing pattern of reality was a constellation of galaxies & universes floating in an eternal extra-dimensional void in the shape of dickbutt.
