Okay soooooo
First statement from the 18th century? Oh I wonder who else was born in that century and why it wasn't Chester or Norris reading this
Very Posh Voice (someone who could have believably been an old man from a different century)
'But I was young and frightened, and simply watched in quiet awe.' ?? that's what I thought you'd say you dumb fucking horse
A tale with themes of hubris and a man sacrificing both parts of himself and the lives of others to place himself above his fellow men???
Where else have I seen someone bleeding for their own goals (ehm gouging own eyes out ehm) and feeding their entity via the life and fear of others. I know the second part is a common feature of avatars (assuming they even exist in this universe) but I want to hope it's him ok
With all the deaths and the terror it was all still worth it to the violinist because of the music??? Remembering Simon's talk about how being an avatar is like hearing the most beautiful music in your dreams. Thinking about Elias admitting the exhilaration of knowing you would be willing to sacrifice the entire world in the name of your own freedom. Thinking about 'Nothing's wrong with him. He's the pupil of the Eye. He's won.'
In conclusion: Jimmy Magma enjoy your vacation inside the computer
