Awriiiiight

He's got a few really exciting motifs that I'm hyper... well, excited about.

Obviously, with Regina, he has a whole eros (or pathos)/logos dichotomy, which gets subverted when their moirallegiance is proven to be

Faulty.

hmm

Which I've always loved, because usually that dichotomy is shown to balance a scale, whereas here it's inherently flawed and ultimately

Fails.

...this whole "having one word left at the end of my sentence" thing is kind of dumb. Plurk, why you do?

it makes it DRAMATIC or something

Kind of! But I really like it because it subversts a common motif in literature, where eros (or pathos) and logos complete each other and

Balance out when put together.

And instead it's more like a delayed but violent chemical reaction.

chemical reactions :|a those are cool

It's the best example I can think of.

it makes sense

Anyway, that dramu aside, I really like his relationship with Zetric? And his own identity has sort of stabilised, which I like a lot. :|a

Although I accidentally a second motif in the process, a sort of "coming alive" sort of thing, in conjunction with

Zetric and the waking of his dream self, with the latter as a sort of... I guess that's sort of the real event? Man, that was poorly worded.

Which also I guess partially explains some of his 'rage,' and the nature of it?

oh yeah the 'rage'

Yeaaah. I've spent a long time grappling with it, and now it really makes sense

Or a better sort of sense than it did before, anyway.

he still going to snap?

It always made sense, but now it's been reinforced and sort of shaped into... yes.

Sorry, team. /dry

rude

lol

No, YOU'RE rude. All these rich inner lives and concrete identities and FEELINGS.

FEELINGS

Yes, FELLINGS

...oops.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

OF COURSE

But yeah, and it also adds and interesting perspective on his and Zetric's relationship--although it may be making it both more

....compelling and more dangerous simultaneous, uh. IDK how that works exactly, I just know I like it and it's different.

It's cool :|a

I dunno, I feel like I need someone else to ask me questions at this point so I can finish shaping out what's left, but.

Wow, how self-indulgent. THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT, THOUGH.

LOL it's cool im sorry i dont have much input

IT'S COOL I'm just. Rambling. I'd talk about some of the interesting identity/boundary shaping shit but.
