KILL SIX BILLION DEMONS: hell yeah, punch that fuckin fish

What is YISUN?
	Mother
	A lie we tell ourselves to have a purpose
	Bliss
	A paradox with no solution
	Father
	A strong female protagonist
	The weakest thing there is and the smallest crawling thing
	Creator
	Everything in this miserable and hellish existence
	A solution with no paradoxes

I heard it said you should stand upon your sword, as though on a hoverboard. This is patently false. A sword is not your hoverboard. It is a hideous tool for separating men from their vital fluids.

I mean, it's kind of unlikely that if this was physical reality that she'd have just had that stuck in her arm all this time without noticing.

Also it would be a pretty sick own on Zaid if his swordkinesis was entirely a fever dream of Allison's.

I'm not going to actually verify any of this, as that is the cowards move, but from what I understood he merely confirmed that this isn't a dream and that the consequences are real. Just using different words to lie to us in the fourth way.

We can definitely say that these scenes are either real, or they're a dream. There is, after all, nothing that is in-between.

eta: lol the Genius annotation on that lyric:

quote:

The main character is not yet convinced as to what he is experiencing. He is trying to figure out whether it is fantasy or fiction, and calling out for help in deciphering the strange new world.

Asked in 1981 whether the events of Time are, in fact, supposed to be real or dreamed, Jeff Lynne answered:

"This is what I�d like to know, because it�s baffled me since I wrote it, if he has actually gone [to the future], or if he�s just thinking about it. � It could be real, or it could be a dream� I�m not sure. I�d rather not say, because I don�t know either. I�m supposed to, but I don�t."

This songwriting ambiguity contrasts with the absolute insistence (�there�s nothing that is in-between�) on categorical separation between the waking world and dreams.

This is too on the nose!
