Poltergrift posted:Also, question: is Ys-Myra, goddess of the wretched, just a visual metaphor for the sheer threat scale of Allison's headbutt, or is she literally invoking a thirty-foot undead goddess to headbutt these demons into Black Flame matchsticks a la Bayonetta? I'm pretty sure the actual goddess' personal skull is not physically manifested in the scene, but it's difficult to use concepts like "literally" in a meaningful sense in reference to the divine.

Poltergrift posted:See, my mind jumped to that pretty much immediately, but it seems like a number of the devils -- four-wings on the lower left, screamy-mouth in the middle right, a few of the hooded devils at the base of the pillars -- are looking at Ys-Myra, rather than Allison. No reason to believe they're not aware that she's doing some God Stuff.

DirtRoadJunglist posted:Is there an explainer for Homestuck somewhere? Not the comic so much as what the hell happened with the fandom? I somehow entirely missed its existence until it was too deep of a rabbit hole to risk my sanity jumping into, and now I'm fascinated from a distance. It burned with white-hot popularity at the peak of its quality and update speed, with all the usual fandom existence problems that implies; then it went on a series of long hiatuses including an unplanned one related to a very troubled Kickstarter, and lost its energy as it skidded into a perfunctory ending over several years. The readers scattered to newer things that weren't just going through the motions.

Objects, and distinctions between them across time, are subjective or intersubjective inventions of those who interact with it. There's no objective point at which a car stops being a car because there's no such objective thing as a car, just a loose pattern of atoms. Subjectively, you might think of a lump of metal as your car if it was made from some atoms in a different configuration that you previously thought of as your car, or you might not, and your reasons for thinking that way will probably have a lot to do with your memories of the car and your knowledge of how it became that lump of metal. Intersubjectively, others in your community may disagree about whether it is a car and also about whether it is yours, though if they agree that it is yours then they may be inclined to grant your interpretation of its car-ness a degree of privilege above theirs.

Dead Reckoning posted:I'm not really sure the concept applies, since it I'm 99% sure that any distinction between Himself and the Hot Black Flame is artificial. That's his deal: he recognized that the personality and individuality imposed by a mask was fake, that devils are all limbs of the same great beast, and somehow kept His mind intact. Somehow like by locking it up?

There's a difference between saying that devils, angels, humans, etc. are some way as a result of their nature and saying that's the way they tend to be. There's nothing in human nature that makes us live in buildings, and yet most of us do. Devils and angels are people, they form societies, and the characteristics of those societies are shaped by the necessities of their life cycles, by religious ideas that they have been taught, and by historical accidents relating to their interactions with other societies. Aside from the immortality and magic they're not terribly alien. But they come from cultures with some pretty alien norms - though not so alien that a failure to conform to them isn't met with reprisal. A devil who is honest, loyal, kind, and compassionate can be regarded as analogous to an angel who is feminine.
