Does anyone know about this image thats like, a picture of one character standing while the other is on their knees hugging the standing one's waist/thighs?????? I wanna say it might have been an actual stock image picture or one of those Archie comic things of a guy on his knees hugging a woman's leg/waist??

How pathetic.

Adding onto this as to why I don't believe that he's gone outside of headcanons

3.4 spoilers

Ahem

THAT MOTHERFUCKER, A PIECE OF CODING IN A BIG ASS COMPUTER, NOT EVEN AN ACTUALLY REAL PERSON– THE OPPOSITE OF A REAL BOY™

SCRATCHED AN AEON AND MADE THEM BLEED

AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK ME IN THE EYES AND TELL ME HE JUST- WHAT? WILLINGLY SUBSUMED INTO IRONTOMB??????

THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS GOING TO BE ON A DAMN WAR PATH MARK MY WORDS

I swear on MY MOMMA, fucking Phainon/Khaslana ain't dead, that bitch ain't gone. Fuck no, I refuse to believe that. He is going on a god damned war path

He is going to regain sentience in all of that code and he's gonna tear Irontomb apart from the inside out mark my fucking words. You are not going to look me in my face and tell me he won't, because A) I won't believe you and 2) Imma slap you in the face with a brick (lovingly) because you're lying to both me and yourself. Hoyo will genuinely never make me believe that Phainon went through ALL THAT BULLSHIT, fighting off hordes of what I think was either Antimatter Legion or black tide monsters, fight and only partially lose to Zephyro(i think), only to THROW WHAT WAS LEFT OF THEIR SWORD AT NANOOK AND SCRATCH THEIR FUCKING CHEEK

Ain't no way. Ain't no fucking way. I stand ten toes down on the fuckass hill, and I will kill and die on it if I have to

Look at him, look at this man, look at the absolutely Brutally Traumatized Little Fucker and the light that has left his eyes

His ass is not dead, I will literally bet everything on it. I'll make a bet with fucking Aventurine (ain't selling my soul to Jade thats too far) about it damn you.

Phainon is not dead. We will see him again, and I refuse to be told or think otherwise. That's all thanks for coming to my ted talk

Just need to scream into the void really quick because i finished 3.4 at like midnight (five(5) hours ago) because after processing the story im losing it internally a little, ans also because i wanna get on the hsr side of this site (I know ive seen it with my eyes before it just keeps disappearing)

So some spoilers for 3.4 if you haven't played or seen anyone play it yet

Oh Kahslana, my Kahslana ❤️‍🩹

You poor, agonizingly sweet soul you, I wish only sweet dreams and peaceful rest for you. Fuck the canon of him being subsumed into Irontomb, fuck the fact that we won't know the end to the grand story of Amphoreus for at least 3 more updates, fuck it all, i am subscribing to the headcanon that he has gone dormant in the back of Phainon's mind.

I am choosing to believe that he doesn't become part of the machine that is trying to destroy the Aeon that made it tossed it aside, Kahslana is resting. He is in the back of Phainon's mind, finally at peace, taking the break he deserves, finally being able to step away from the chaos of it all and being allowed time to just- temporarily stop existing. He isn't gone, he's taking a break. He's taking a break from the weight the 33 million cycles undoubtedly takes a toll on him, so he doesn't have to feel his body deteriorating, cracking and becoming fragmented; a shell of who and what he once was.

Hes taking a break from the sweltering, scorching heat, the heat the burns him from the inside out, that roats his body and torches his soul. The heat that makes his body temperature so unbearable that even his tears turn to mist before they even have a chance to trail down from his eyes. The millions of coreflames have no effect on him here, they do not turn his body into kindling that breaks him down from the inside out.

Kahslana is resting, mind and body, so he doesn’t have to suffer all the memories.

So he doesn’t have to constantly all the times he had to kills his friends, the people he loves and cares for so deeply and wholly that he carries their wishes with him to every new cycle in a desperate attempt to change something; to do something different, to search endlessly for another outcome. Another outcome that doesnt involve all his friends needing to die as sacrifices for an Aeon that wishes to destroy everything; to a god they dont even know exists. He refuses so much for all that he loves and care about to be a sacrifice that will fuel the fires of Destruction to birth a new Lord Ravager that Nanook will use in THEIR army to bring the Universe to its knees; he doesn't want them to be mere pawns to a greater scheme that none of them have a say in that kills them over and over himself. Over 33,550,336 cycles of hundreds of thousands of years, he has to bring his blade down on every friend he's held dear to him, had to plunge his sword into the chest of everyone in Aedes Elysiae himself just to push his past self to the brink over and over a d over and over.

He doesn’t have to constantly be haunted by the memories of taking dawnbreaker and using it to cut down Mydei, his equal in strength, the comrade and fought for ten days and nights and eventually became close with. He doesnt have to think about the times he's had to hurt Castorice, poor sweet and gentle Castorice, to take the coreflame of the Hand of Shadow from her. He doesn't need to dwell on the memories of the one cycle where Hyacine made him pause, if only for a moment with her words, before he used the ceremonial blade given to him hy Cyrene to forcefully remove the coreflame of the Sky Titan from her. All the times he most likely had to take and take and take from all the people that he knew; Aglaea, Tribios, Cipher and Professor Anaxa, every one of them being people he knew cared for, and had to kill to protect them from a fate worse than anything he can endure.

Kahslana doesn't have to remember or worry about carrying the fates and wishes of all whom he holds dear– the fate of everyone on Amphoreus; he doesn't need to. Not anymore. His new friend, someone from beyond the sky, from far away from the lands that have trapped him for so long. He has entrusted his duty to someone he trusts can handle the weight of the world far better than he ever could; some who has finally, finally brought hope and change to the cycles of anguish he's endured.

So even with his mind and body and sould weighed down by the near futility of it all, the weight of the world that drove him mad countless times, he is allowed to rest and he passes the torch to his partner. To the Trailblazer from beyond the sky, the hero he always envisioned as a child; to the person who will carry all of their fates into Era Nova, into the bright and brilliant new Dawn promised in the prophecy.

Kahslana is allowed repose. He can finally float in a boundless void of idleness and inactivity, with no worry about the future of his planet and his people, no crushing weight of the world and their wishes to carry upon his shoulders, and no death that he feels he must bring upon the ones he loves. He has slipped into a quiet, painless, and peaceful dormancy that will last for as long as world wishes for him to.

And when the times comes for the true Era Nova, when the new Deliverer ushers in the dawn of a new age free of cycles and loops and the gaze of an Aeon that wishes to wage war on the Universe for existing, he will be able to wake and he will be able to watch. Kahslana will be able to see the fruits of his labor, will finally be able to see that all of his millions of years of cycles he's had to witness will not have been in vain; Kahslana will be able to watch the mighty Trailblazer forge a new path, and being for a brilliant and blazing sunrise where the west winds end. And after seeing the culmination of his efforts, Kahslana can rest permanently and peacefully if he so chooses.

Because that's what he deserves. He didn't tread through 33 million cycles for nothing, after all.

Everyone who still says they didn’t want Amphoreus to be a simulation because that means none of it and no one matters needs to sit down with me real quick

Do you know who you sound like? Lygus. He told Khaslana and Cyrene that everything in Amphoreus was just kindling for the fire. Their lives didn’t matter. The gods didn’t, the people didn’t, the history and mythology of the world didn’t

And you know what they said? Fuck you. Not in those terms, ofc, but don’t forget how Phainon literally yelled at Nanook about how Amphoreus was the aeon’s forgotten, abandoned children, and how they would strike back

Lygus kept talking about how this extrapolation proved what the prime mover of life was, but he failed to understand the fundamental question of “what is life?”

This quest spoke about that answer, too. And it wasn’t just Phainon/Khaslana and Cyrene. No, no, no—all the Chrysos Heirs proved it. When Khaslana told them that this was the 100th, the 1000th, the 10000th, etc. cycle, and that they lost and died in every cycle, the heirs did not stop fighting. They fought for themselves, and their homelands, and their beliefs, and some—Anaxa, Castorice, Hyacine—even fought for Khaslana, for his humanity

They might have been simulations give form by Irontomb, but they gave themselves life. And you can’t say anything about their pursuits not meaning anything just because they’re “meaningless strings of numbers”

Phainon’s unwillingness to let Mydei go needs to be studied in a lab. In any other cycle Phainon was in, he was sad when the companion who made it to the end with him left, but he understood. But when Mydei was the last one standing with him? Phainon *begged* him to stay and witness the Era Nova with him. When Phainon had to kill the other Chrysos Heirs he was cold, feeling himself drift further away from humanity. When he had to kill Mydei he was tender, filled with sorrow and regret. Losing Mydei still hurt after all that time. Despite it all, his heart was never truly hardened to it.

Get yourself a man whose devotion lasts 33 million cycles.

[thesacredorb]

need to see them happy again

[thesacredorb]

what is your wish, phainon of aedes elysiae

[thesacredorb]

Do not... Bow your head to THEM.
