lol subjective destitution is one of the most important things to deal with in life

So here is the void of non-meaning which is the fundamental source of anguish of our condition! What do you do about it? Are you going down in defeat like a nihilist weakling? Or do you rise to become what you are and realize a much greater meaning than otherwise possible? -- allison's glorious dumbass part of the brain in self-analysis

Actually if she really did get enough from looking and doesn't crumple she probably knows a lot of cool rear end magic now right?

Like Jadis could probably have pulled some poo poo if she sucked it up and just turned jagganoth into an invincible frog or just teleported him sans nails.

Probably. But internalizing :matters: as completely as Jadis did gets in the way of doing any crazy wizard poo poo other than what she already knows she's going to do.

But why would a nihilist join a defensive pact against the Jaggahog? Why would she even bother ruling over 1/7th of creation?

For the first time ever I think a professed nihilist is not actually true to their convictions, nay I say, nay!

But is knowing the same as being able to do it? Like, does seeing the universe act similarly to learning a skill?

Idk why im pondering this its probably not even gonna come up but my chimp brain likes pondering pointless stuff.

Because she saw herself agreeing to the defensive pact so she agrees to the defensive pact.

Jadis has no agency. She follows the script.

i still feel like Jadis's upbeat attitude is the right approach to take here. if we realized ourselves sisyphus it would still be our obligation to imagine ourselves happy.

you've got, accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch on to the affirmative and don't wait for mr inbetween

Jadis read the script of all existence and in that script she didn't turn Jagganoth into an invincible frog, so she didn't.

She saw all of creation and her sense of self died, she's just following the motions that have been laid out for her. Allison's too much of a dumbass to stick to the script.

Yeah, just because nothing matters and all of existence is a meaningless struggle amounting to nothingness is no reason to get all mopey about it. That's a true life lesson from the comic you can use in your every day life!

So if Allison does go off script, will Jadis not notice because she only lives in the altered state of the universe, or will she then realize she doesn't have to do anything and then go crazy witch?

Because I could totally see that being a great fireworks factory all by itself, being a way for Abbadon to shove some cool magic effects he may have wanted to draw but couldn't come up with a reason to bring into the story.

She could also just peace out to act as a lovely god in short stories.

Okay but is that breakfast selection even appropriate for someone who was in a coma?

It feels like a taunt, look at all this delicious food you won't get to eat because you are having the mother of all existential crises and also it wouldn't be good for your tummy anyway!

Except it isn't a taunt exactly because that was always going to be what Jadis had her servants prepare and plate anyway.

I take back what I said about Jadis, she's an okay host. That does look like a pretty good breakfast. It could even be worth having your mind scoured by seeing the true shape of all creation. 7/10 Hospitality
