It's heavily inferred there's at least some kind of hive-mind deal with the green eyes on that one page before the Tournament. We know they're still physically themselves, because her summoning is... messy.

Neddy Seagoon posted:It's heavily inferred there's at least some kind of hive-mind deal with the green eyes on that one page before the Tournament. Gog-Agog is at the least some sort of distributed intelligence. It seems like her attention is at times focused on specific places and maybe a specific body more than others - it doesn't seem like everyone who has been wormed has an equal presence or power, for example. But there isn't any indication there is any specific or key worm, the entity is able to shift seamlessly between any worm and apparently either use the powers of a Key or inherent worm ability to rapidly generate more worms wherever some are. You'd have to murder every worm to gill Gog, and as soon as you started she'd be able to make and distribute more worms, so you have to outpace her. It seems like people who have just 'eaten the worm' get some sort of introductory link to the whole that gives them changes, maybe some power, maybe just euphoria, but aren't necessarily immediately consumed. I'm assuming that these guys are fully Gogged just because the speech text is green.

The way I interpret it the original people have been straight up devoured and a pile of worms is imitating their form because Gog desperately wants to be human, and happy, but can't begin to understand how so she just tries to copy what it looks like from the outside. Keen for further insight into the cosmic worm mass!

yeah i'm pretty sure that once someone eats the worm then that person is gone, all that's left is gog-agog acting as them. all the demiurges have some kind of nasty existential irony and that's hers - she's a consummate entertainer who spends all her time and energy imitating humanity (her "carousel passions" as jagganoth calls them) but she's only capable of relating to herself

Because some people seem open to the idea of eating it, I'd guess eating the worm just slowly subsumes yourself into the hivemind. If Gog-Agog devours them from inside out, the worm-eater would probably have a sudden personality change that would raise suspicions with everyone they know. There has to be some of the original self in control of the body, an insane worm hivemind clown probably doesn't have the patience to pilot every covert worm-agent as a regular person.

nimby posted:There has to be some of the original self in control of the body, an insane worm hivemind clown probably doesn't have the patience to pilot every covert worm-agent as a regular person. She says directly that if you eat the worm you become her. And there doesn't seem to be any evidence to the contrary in the comic to suggest that she was lying. At least not that we've seen so far? So it seems fair to take that at face value and assume all these people are just Gog. She's always playing some role or another, why not play them all. Though if we were to get any info to elaborate or contradict this now will probably be the time for sure. JuniperCake fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Dec 23, 2023 |

We've seen repeatedly that the various Demiurges have been exactly as they are presented. Salami Dave really was the greatest punch an to ever exist Jagganoth is literally invulnerable. The Demiurges have been so far beyond consequences for so long that they don't feel a need to dissemble. Until I see evidence to the contrary, when a demiurge states that they can do something or that they are something, I'll just take it as a statement of fact, and that includes 'oops all worms!' with regard to Gog Agog.

Presumably Jadis is aware of the loops too, since complete awareness is her entire thing. Gog's "I'll be fine" had me wondering for a long while if she hadn't survived the loops in some form, looks like this'll be adressed soon.

I’d say she pretends multitudes. There’s no evidence of actual disagreement or individuality between Gogs, and her whole thing is jealousy and envy and wanting people to like her, so if individual Gogs had, y’know, individuality, she’d be constantly doing internal Gogwar like a giant, upsetting Tom and Jerry cartoon. Which is also the best way for Allison to handle her imo, cause her to become multiple people for real somehow.

There is some evidence of apparent Gog disagreement: The hover text here is: Gog Agog, Gog Agog, and Gog Agog are pretty impressed, as you can see, however Gog Agog has seen this act before during the war and is not amused Of course, the implication on the current page is that things like this are just kayfabe, so the apparent disagreement may not be real.
