I wonder if Mottom might be more powerful right now than she has been for a long time, if not in her entire life. It would be the ultimate irony for her resolve to be forge in the flames of despair over her thinking she is going to die, and resulting in her becoming strong enough to actually resist death.

Like if she was always this determined, she probably wouldn't need the buttfruit.

And they assume White Chain is protesting female specific nudity laws?

Wait, I forgot. White Chain is sort of closeted trans right? because my stupid idea for situational comedy hinges on that and I haven slept at all, so I have decided unwisely to proclaim all of this and to led everyone else sort out what is what.

Apologies in advance,

PS how has anyone ever gotten post and reply mixed up besides the wording? and surely they would notice once the interface comes up, and just back out of it. The same question goes for those who say reply does not equal quote.

PPS I wonder if anyone has ever used an old post in a long thread to store something for a info easter egg hunt.

What I mean is that while one can be ignorant of what is possible and impossible for a little bit, you can't keep it up. like how the one guy hesitated when facing Aesma, he couldn't keep up the stupid. Since its so easy to know enough to gently caress you up, or just not be in the right mood, you have to go around the bend and become so smart you can reliably act like an idiot/simulate an idiots failure to realize some things aren't possible by realizing in your heart that they are not only possible, but banal to do.

idiots only achieve royalty on accident for fleeting moments, the truly smart can manage it for like, a bajillion years

So I'm thinking about it, we might have this so far?:

1. desire to do something
2. then believe you can do it
3. ???
4. you do it.

What I wonder is, what comes after wanting to do something you believe you can do?

thechosenone
Mar 21, 2009
I figure that its that, and you sort of need to stumble onto the path of how to do that. Having a key of kings likely makes it easier to do so, and once you have, you likely have an easier time doing it again. after that.

Willpower seems to be a factor in strength, and in perhaps getting that initial spark.

It also might be that how one achieves this is different from person to person.

It might be like having a hand you didn't know you had: it would be hard to even move it at first, but after a while it would become natural.

I wonder if anyone has ever named a devil by just scat singing for five minutes. Like how many names can you give them? Just make a bunch of noise for long enough. Could they ever get rid of them all?

wiegieman posted:

Part of the reason for that is that a human giving a devil a name usually doesn't last that long, because their flame is weak and the devil's flame burns hot. Allison would never have been able to give so many names without the key giving her the power she needed. That sort of thing is probably a good way to get yourself dissolved into formless chaos.

So I guess only Zoss could have done the aformentioned scat-signing naming method I spoke of. still wonder what would happen. Just how small can you make a devil?

No way in hell am I betting against this happening.

My money is all on no, Because cio's current name doesn't include that name.

My bet is that she simply becomes Cio. She then becomes the ultimate wifu (and gains crazy magical power I guess).

Anyone figure that black demons at their normal strongest are sort of on 2 Michael's level? and that freaks like Himself would be on 1 Metatron's level? Both of the latter are even rarer than the former, The angels taking forever to get that big, and the demons taking that long to get their name down to something like that.

But yeah, I mean't angel a diablos.. I figure whatever himself is isn't something completely earth shattering (he did get locked up by lesser devils), but I figure he is sort of the demonic version of a prime angel: something that doesn't happen often.

Also I know that seems like a technicality with Cio and all that, but I honestly think that with how Cio has changed as a person, she would likely look different from yabalchoath by the time she pares her name down to the ebon one.

For example, she would probably wear clothes.

Maybe I'm just looking for anything to betray the true nature of the demiurges now, but does it seem like jagganoth is using the throne to help himself up? I'm sure he actually can kill the other demiurges, but I wonder if wounds from before his invulnerability still haunt him.

I think we have already deduced his mental ones do!

thechosenone

But seriously, Besides maybe jadis, I'm thinking Jagganoth is going to be the most sympathetic of the demiurges. Like, I feel like things operant has said might imply he has really bad post traumatic stress.

I think that if Cio ever turns ebon again, and it isn't just fridging her or turning her into a villain (both of which I feel Abbadon would not do), then I think she would likely do so after another timeskip. 'Cio' (not Cio von maximus etc) would likely be an idealized version of what Cio wants to be, and not what she once was as Yabalchoath. I feel like it would be pretty bad message to say that a persons idealized or distilled self free of what labels other people put onto you is worse and more immoral.

I mean, if we are gonna go with lore on things* you could say that the gods never intended to create devils, as even Koss did not try to work the Black Flame, hot or warm, and that there really isn't a 'most natural' state for devils for the most part. I would also say that I agree the level of a devil isn't the end all be all of their power or their self actualization as a person. Either way, I think if Cio ever does find herself with only her Ebon name, That the name will reflect the person she is, and not the other way around.




*:though I will note that every watsonian text on these issues is likely biased and does not hold the complete picture, and I think while Abbadon might say some things here or there, he likely isn't going to spell things out completely, and can always change his mind on what is the case later.



Edit: This is a separate argument than above, but we could even argue that technically she doesn't even have 'Yabalchoath' in her name at all anymore, and that while having been her is an important part of Cio, it doesn't define her solely, or even majoritively considering it isn't even referenced in the name. This is assuming that a Devil even has to have its name reflect its personality at all and can't just be 'I thought it sounded the best'

Sword Law itself is very pragmatic in that the first and most important thing it tries to instill in new students is that swords are very silly things only good for killing people and your Master will think better of you for quitting their tutelage. There are thousands of better paths you could take that are long, happy, and don't involve getting stabbed or maimed. Take your sword, beat it into a plow, and it will be a far greater tool for the rest of your days.

But, if you really want to learn how to use a sword, then at least learn how to cut something properly.


Meti only had one apprentice. Incubus was merely part of the lesson.

What if someone tried to combine both? make your sword into a plow, plow your enemies literally into the ground to fertilize your tomatoes. I'm sure at least one person had some pretty good results with this idea.

Maybe she will Rez WC and this causes Solomon to show the briefist weakness as to whether he should allow this, giving Gog the chance to distract him by doing something outrageous, causing the pursuers to spook, causing a chain reaction of chaos 'shattering' the brittle calm his powers of violence created.

His realm represents him as being brittle dispute it's hardness.
