:iiam:
is every side in this giant colossal circle of dumbfuckery being backed by metatron? i think they are. is metatron trying to recreate god or something? give the syllables to zoss as an example of what not to do (take a shortcut) and as a safety button, empower jaggs as an existential threat that must be opposed and which can only be stopped by royalty, then have the thorn knights as a more immediate threat to keep everyone moving and prevent stagnation?

Metatron is gently caress-off crazy because he's been cracked open and nailed to the void by a transcendent god-king.

Yeah I really wouldn't believe Jagganoth when he says Zoss serves Metatron. Maybe Metatron set things up to ensure omniversal ruin, but I'm not convinced of that either. I think he's just playing the side opposite Zoss, for understandable reasons.

jolly good chaps we sure showed the hun

possibly giving Zoss the names was Metatron's plan A to restore order, and following that failure Jagganoth's omnicide is now plan B. off his own back Zoss is attempting multiple plan Cs

Nah that Twitter message was when she left the second time, she sent it before going back to cover for her absence. The first time I think she was only in Throne for a day or so and nobody realised she was missing.

They certainly comprehend the practicalities of it if nothing else.

We're told "violence is never the answer" because the man knows that in fact violence is always the answer and he's rightly afraid of what would happen if everyone realised this.

https://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/ksbd-5-1/

so she vanishes for three days after a crash, which her roommates heard. They assume she's either on her planned trip to the G.C., or with Zaid. (Also her roommate thinks Zaid's a creeper too).

She returns, obviously very distressed and says something hosed up happened, but won't say what or where she's been. Also, sword, and bindi.

She leaves a message that now she's going to the G.C. for two weeks.

Then vanishes again. Zaid is gone too.

Even if her roommates didn't report her missing right away the second time, they would've when she didn't come back after two weeks.

So [white sorority] woman vanishes gets some hubbub, but then there's some weird stuff too- crash, sword, bindi, complete lack of any sign of either of them- that gives it some traction on like, reddit and poo poo.

also Zaid's for sure a wanted criminal

What is 6JS’s enemy is Jagganoth and not Zoss? That at some point in the cycle they have to fight Jaggs and 6J knows he has their wings in him. They want to break the cycle because they’re tired of dying to Jagganoth every single cycle because of their own essence?

It makes more sense than Juggernaut hating Zoss because of Metatron if it’s all some kind of ploy by the angels. Michael wants a sterile Throne so that there’s no more of this bullshit and they can rest again instead of being compelled to uphold the law humans pressed upon them and makes them fight against oblivion.

I bet one of the big differences in this cycle is that Mottom and Mammon are still alive. I think every other Heir chewed through the first six like video game bosses before Jagganoth pulped them.

Yeah, it seems like things are already pretty far off the rails compared to the standard loop Jagganoth lays out here. He claims he has fought and won this battle innumerable times but it's not clear that's actually true since this time the Heir is teaming up with the corrupt lords of heaven instead of casting them down, so he's fighting 7v1 this time instead of just playing mopup.

When an actual investigation starts people would realize that Zaid actually disappeared BEFORE Allison, from like, HIS friends. So uh, probably the leading theories are gonna be "Allison killed Zaid and went on the run."

If the non-Jagg demiurges are variant between cycles, then I'd guess Incubus was a previous failed heir.

Have we talked about how all the heirs in panel 1 seem to have the same coloration? And it's been pointed out before that Zaid resembles Zoss a lot. I'm wondering if he doesn't just pick heirs, he fathers them.

Although hell, with his mastery of time, maybe he just goes and diverges himself as a baby and brings a copy forward.

i think the counterpoint to that is if the heir always defeats solomon (and the other keyholders) and jagganoth always defeats the heir, then big whoop

of course it seems pretty shortsighted on jagganoth's part to figure that "the heir and the keyholders teaming up instead of destroying each other makes no real difference, especially this heir i didn't expect", he seems smarter than that

Yeah, if all the other heirs had fought Swolemon at the Ring of Power he very likely never went all out because A) he was happy to cede power to the rising king after getting bled and/or B) he couldn't go all out because of the risk to all of the people he built his entire self-image around protecting.

Solomon David might very well punt Jaggs into the sun. Or both suns. Ofc, it remains to be seen if that'd actually inconvenience Jaggs.
