Radio Paranoia posted:Welp, I just need to figure out the single cutting motion bit and I'm gonna live forever. It's not hard; The general insinuation is it's literally just not giving a gently caress. Rules are for others, you are a loving Royalty. If you want to be kind, be kind. If someone is in your way Cut them down and don't give a gently caress further five minutes after they hit the floor. You are Royalty, your actions define the world around you as you Cut your way through it in thought, word and action. Solomon would've achieved Royalty immediately if he'd just struck his own path instead of idolizing Zoss. And should also tell you why attaining Royalty is indeed very very stupid.

That is still Royalty though. That's the very essence and perverse truth of it; A screaming meth head living his life without giving a gently caress has attained Royalty without effort at all. Donald Trump, the supreme egotistical narcissist, Cutting through common decency, and laws, could be argued to have attained Royalty. Attaining Royalty is not an honorable goal, it is a selfish and toxic pursuit. Meti, living in a marketplace barrel in rags without shame, similarly attained Royalty. Especially as she'd probably call you a fool and tell to gently caress off if you stated as such to her. The Keys are but toys of idiot children having an argument.

I do not believe it is the case that being a screaming rear end in a top hat will allow you to kill God in this setting. Or you would see more screaming assholes successfully challenging the demiurges, rather than only the ones who train in forbidden sword arts for years.

There is a difference between not giving a gently caress because you don't have any to give, and not giving a gently caress because you guard your carefully cultivated fucks jealously.

I don't think Royalty is inherently toxic, necessarily. It's more that nearly everyone capable of achieving it is incredibly toxic already. And it's a pretty good joke by Yisun that anybody who actively seeks to be Royal for its own sake will find it impossible to ever quite get there. They do an awful lot of damage in the seeking though.

intra's koans stress that if you try to "attain" royalty at all, you won't. at heart it's just buddhist enlightenment coupled with CHIM, achieving cosmic self-actualization by transcending the falsehoods of the world. this does not simply mean ignoring rules. incubus is a man who has spent eons doing one long skateboard kickflip and saying rules are for suckers, and he will never achieve royalty meti is one of the foulest and most abrasive characters in the setting and intra was one of the noblest, but they both took that idiot's step

Royalty is total detachment from the fruit of action, which ironically allows for total devotion to action in a universe where all action is futility, all life conflict, all existence fraught with suffering.

Intra offers an Ecclesiastes-type perspective (with due context of course), a contemplation from a position of virtue as consequence of a life striving towards true nobility (which is very laudable). Meti becomes wise by realizing a profound awareness of how much a total dumbass she is with a sword. It's the paradox of wisdom through folly or the holy fool - it's the realization that, among other things, of "for the wise and the foolish both die". On the other direction, Solomon might be the worst offender. Maybe Jagganoth only surpasses him because he is invulnerable, but Solomon mistakes having all that power as being demonstrative of Royalty while drowning in his own vanity, going further and further away from it. The thing I like the most about the concept is that Royalty is not power, it's a particular type of transcendence that is not necessarily better or enlightening. Like, maybe it works in degrees, maybe it is a state or there are variations of the type. Maybe Allison has actually reached the one true form of it and others were just loving around (very likely)

See though where i think K6BD is different is that royalty, unlike other forms of transcendence or enlightenment, needs no virtue and is agnostic to your sins, and can be attained without any special knowledge or learning. It doesnt need a doctrine or philosophy. You can be a complete rear end in a top hat and be royalty. You can be a complete idiot and be royalty.

Pretty sure in some understandings irl you can be normally fully enlightened and still be wrathful There's also the marian heresy which says sin as it is conceived of doesn't exist and is not strictly an obstacle to eternal life. The other apostles weren't super into this concept & that rear end in a top hat Paul in particular was like "drat. women don't even deserve get onto heaven i cannot believe this poo poo." A lot of really wild concepts getting knocked around in the proto church. There's a lot of connections in the ancient world that are weirdly glossed or not commonly referred to. There's deities cross pollinating and demigods like Hercules end up as bodhisattvas. Like literally herc with his club and lion skin standing by the buddha throne waiting to beat rear end in case any tempting demons approach to gently caress this up.

Greco-Buddhist art is great but it’s more that the Classical Greek statue/image of Heracles with the three-quarters pose and the club was a major part of their trade goods and had an influence on temple sculpture, so was adopted as a figurative guardian deity for the Buddha. The character of Heracles didn’t really come along, just the image of a very dynamically standing man with club, which is frankly enough. So you eventually get Japanese guardian deities in Buddhist shrines who can be traced iconographically to Heracles, through a series of inspirations and interpretations.

Elissimpark posted:Its hardly his fault if, in the attempt to make a continuous cutting motion, dudes keep walking into the space where he's making that motion. It's hard to attain continuous Royalty. A single act of cutting is also Royal, and you could argue it's been done before in the comic,like Allison masking the unchained devil or White Chain willing/punching herself a flesh body. The problem arises when you try to do stuff like that every single moment. But one of the questions of the series is, should you even want to do that? So far, that road only leads to a quest to murder the universe, or living in a barrel in the street. Being Royal only when the moments needs you to be, or rather, only when you want to, to me seems the true (or at least best) way of achieving Royalty.
