Although he would probably make a decent arepa or samosa, I think Solomon David's ego would inevitably draw him to döner kebab.

Bongo Bill posted:Solomon David creates suffering without realizing it so that he can make himself feel good+strong by relieving it. His people work themselves to the bone for his sake, but the benefit is not his glory (as they think) but his pride. He doesn't have to stage a scene like this for Zaid, because this scene plays out wherever he goes and his entire civilization is designed to create scenes like this. The demiurges change their worlds to suit their self-image, because they're all-powerful narcissists. I wish to reference once more the Parable of Solomon David And The Baby. All things considered, it was a somewhat reasonable judgement and it's definitely better to reside in Dave's seventh than Mottom's (and maybe Mammon's, because, well, bankers), but, well. “The Star Emperor is a man of great stature, with an oiled beard and stern countenance. He does not concern himself, as his kin do, with plotting and scheming against each other, but chiefly with the exercise of ruling. His primary concern is justice. His subjects live fairly, peaceably, and one might say even well, if not for the heavy blade of the law constantly grazing the tender skin of their necks.”

Oh sorry you wanted me to say he would open up a bagel shop because his name is the same as the legendary King Solomon of Israel. actually he would open up a fusion restaurant and serve everything and anything you want because committing himself to a regional cuisine is beyond him.

It's impossible to be a good person and also attempt to rule 111,111 universes by your autocratic will. Zoss was the closest to a decent ruling king because the sum total of his rulership appears to be 'sitting on an impressive throne brooding at people.' And then he just let a loving cosmomachy happen so, uh, turns out there's none good.

Cyclopean is almost always used to describe a structure that is vast or towering though, there's just something about the image of a gigantic building that was made by stacking up rough stone.

Tollymain posted:solomon david's mistake is that he thinks people can be dragged into enlightenment Rules with fear to get results, constantly puzzled why his people never seem able to relax Old Kentucky Shark posted:I don't see Solomon David dissembling or lying, except possibly to himself. He seems like very much a "gently caress you, I am Paternum" kind of guy. Definitely to himself, although it's more doublethink than lying. This scene is like some classic benevolent CEO poo poo where they descend from their fuckin ivory tower to save a few lucky underlings from the tyranny of middle management, even though internally they have to know that their company functioning the way it does relies on that tyranny and they're implicitly cool with it while it's not happening in their direct line of sight. I mean congrats if you've never experienced this firsthand, it gives you some major emotional whiplash though and is a pretty huge red flag to get the hell out if you can Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Sep 15, 2018 |

There's plenty of great authentic kebabs in this city but I crave the stupid imitation that doesn't exist anywhere on this forsaken continent. Can y'all explain this kebab thing to a stupid American? Both why doner kebab would be more Royalty than eg samosas, but also I don't get the reference to 'imitation kebab'. Also, if Gog-Agog does okonomiyaki I know which seventh of creation I'm gonna be living in!

It's shawarma, but from Turkey. e/ more descriptively, it's sliced rotisserie meat. Usually inside bread, but honestly everything after the rotisserie is optional. Same is true of Greek Gyros. Renaissance Robot fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Sep 15, 2018 |

so we've got Nadia Om, who is terrified of her own realm and hides behind artificial longevity grown from the corpse of her husband so she can remain beautiful as she believes is expected of her Incubus squats behind a court of addicted sycophants living in mortal terror of his peers and predecessor. Mammon is too far gone to even remember why he acquired all his wealth, and is attended by a legion of insane accountants dedicated to keeping him in blissful ignorance of the outside world And Solomon David appears to be some kind of reluctant tyrant who makes his people bleed themselves but can't stand to actually watch them do so

Dave's gonna push that block up with a single hand because he truly loves his children and doesn't want to see them toil and suffer just for him. They'll be all "wow paternum that's so cool I wish we could do that". Of course they can't because they're not immortal god-kings but that won't stop them from trying, even to their own detriment.

Joe Slowboat posted:K6BD isn't even a little cosmic horror. And while there's crossover moments, the basic ideological underpinnings of Conan the Cimmerian make it pretty tendentious to say that Howard's friendship with Lovecraft mean his stories are 'in' Lovecraft's universe (and thankfully so; Conan's two-fisted humanism means that cosmic alien forces end up in stories like the Tower of the Elephant, which could never have been written by HPL). imo howard is extremely k6bd HP, howard, and like two of their other friends did used to do those things where they each wrote part of a short story and one ended up saved in HPs letters -- iirc it was like this Dude 1: hey it's me you're regular dweebish geologist out camping looking for rocks heh Dude 2: oh poo poo I found an ALIEN ROCK HP (4 times longer than everyone else combined): Oh I got brain swapped between a hosed up alien worm this is TERRIBLE and the space worms have a TERRIBLE POWER Howard (shortest segment): Yeah that sucked but you know what wormds are strong but the WILL OF MAN IS STRONGER *kills and devours a incomprehensible alien god* *Starts a new celestial empire*
