2025-12-31 17:59:58 +0000 UTCI loved the bit about seeing the world in black and white! I wonder if Noah will ever be able to see a bit of gray again

2025-12-31 03:30:29 +0000 UTCTYFTC! Awww, that was very sweet. It is good to see that Noah understands that he doesn't see grey, just black and white, and knows that he needs others to help him there. Also he is right, he would not have talked to Janice, he would have given her a single chance, and then it would have been it.

2025-12-31 00:54:42 +0000 UTCMaybe him starting down the godhood road is just the outward manifestation of what his internal self; his soul, mind, tri-self, willpower and all, all accumulated together actually adds up to what stage he is actually at. His outward self is starting to catch up with and accurately show what he really is on the inside. Like a good person that is a truly beautiful person on the inside but physically ugly on the outside, starting to change physically to match the beauty within, to become beautiful on the outside. I hope that made sense!!

2025-12-30 20:51:53 +0000 UTCI'm not sure I'd eat unidentified meat Lee handed me...

2025-12-30 17:49:36 +0000 UTCYou’d think that, but it was centipedes all the way down!

2025-12-30 17:48:29 +0000 UTCI occasionally forget just how good Lee is, and always love getting a reminder.

2025-12-30 17:00:08 +0000 UTCCentipeñata? …uh, maybe better not; now that I wrote it out, I feel like it's easy to misunderstand. 🫣

2025-12-30 16:47:58 +0000 UTCFrom past experience with Lee. She is far wiser than she appears! Lots of compassion there too imo

2025-12-30 16:45:41 +0000 UTC“centipede full of nightmare centipedes and to be told you don’t have a way out” Think the first centipede should be citadel TFTC!

2025-12-30 16:40:37 +0000 UTCLee can be quite insightful at times. And, of course, all meraphors of hers are related to food/eating. It's what she knows best.
Philipp Battenberg
2025-12-30 16:31:04 +0000 UTCYou know, what Lee said may be simple, but it’s strangely philosophical and profound, especially considering that she was just talking about a piece of jerky.

2025-12-30 16:29:50 +0000 UTCI think that it's very intentional. They contrast eachother. Plot-wise: Noah got scrambled very heavily by soul damage; he has 3 of him, one of which is literally compressed trauma. Lee was held back by her demon runes, but she has always had her more humane side, which is why we love her. The plot has essentially allowed Lee to be herself, while Noah gets to deal with more and more of his issues as they get exacerbated, like an endless pile of work, only growing larger.

2025-12-30 16:27:01 +0000 UTCAwww! I am so sad for Brayden still being heartsick/broken over Janice, especially since it has only been around 9 months…but I love how Noah and Lee tried to comfort him. Lee has such a wise, but also child like way to how she sees things. So silly and so smart.

2025-12-30 16:24:26 +0000 UTCLee using jerky for delivering wisdom was unexpected. I am surprised Brayden held that punch for Janice when Noah said he would kill her on the spot. Good that he ket him explain the context.

2025-12-30 16:21:42 +0000 UTCI feel like Lee is becoming more human while Noah is becoming less

2025-12-30 16:07:54 +0000 UTCI do like those little reminders that Noah is, fundamentally and mentally, not a mortal. Power-wise, he is, but it’s the only thing about him that is. The rest is not.
