Alison's going to be like "why the gently caress would I want to rule the universe?" with a side order of "don't worry, I'll be dead in 30 years"

i mean then what happens to the key once she dies? if its not resolved somehow then everythings just gonna start over in 30 years as people steal the key from alisons grave, and then steal parts of it from eachother, and rekindle universal war

Since one of the themes is there is no solved state where problems are fixed forever and nothing bad ever happens again, I think part of the message is going to be that poo poo is going to just keep happening forever and we just have to keep dealing with that forever, or something like that.

There's always inevitably going to be a furious dumbass like Zoss and Allison and most you can do is enjoy life as it is and maybe try to not let the same stuff happen again in the same way it did before.

That may be so, but accepting that you can't fix everything forever doesn't mean you shouldn't also want to set the future up as best you can and maybe make plans to try help them avoid bad outcomes.

Well yeah, I said you have to keep dealing with it, not just lie back and let it happen. But stuff is gonna keep happening forever, so you have to keep doing forever. That's life baybey!

in certain views of history, the "goal" is to change the paradigm of what poo poo has to be dealt with in relation to the previous history-state. We'll always have something to deal with, but efforts in the present can change the context for the future etc

I don’t think Zoss would spin the Wheel unless things got pretty hosed up, also if this is the first time he’s died he may not actually be able to anymore and this is the Only Shot.

Which would be a hell of a thing to drop on Jagganoth.

If she's truly the heir to his power, then it doesn't matter what he does. She has the power to stop it.
