Then I want you so much more.

Destruction is part of the cycle, after all. Look at the ashes and see the floral that blooms after the fact.

(Leaning in close)

Wanna set a forest fire then?

(A little twinge of his brow.)

Perhaps. Perhaps it is buried so deep that one must find a wildfire to set it alight.

But, a wildfire comes with destruction in mind.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

I don't think so at all. It'll go dormant, buried so deep that you might forget it's existence entirely.

But that spark is never gone forever, even if you need to rely on the flicker of another's flame to reignite it.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

Oh is it really. Basically everyone I've met with magic is a bit of a dick in some way so I kinda thought it was the default.

This is why I'm pretty happy to have no magecraft.

Imagine being alive for this long and barely entering the mockery level of emotions.

Hm. When you speak of the overall emotion of the masses one supposes. Yet, of the feeling within. That is what I mean.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

Of course they are. Every moment of compassion and love spreads to every person it touches, then every person they touch in turn. With that cycle, so long as someone's alive it's undying!

I can't talk about her because I become disrespectful so fast.

They are not undying, Signora.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

I think we should be.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

I think we should be.

Antonio Salieri @animavindictae.bsky.social · 6d

No.

Gudako @cruelestchoices.bsky.social · 6d

Are we talking about the burning and undying emotions of love and hope.

If only she stopped being so damn weird...

Here lies poor Kiyohime, beaten to death by lamp.

(Has immediately entered a soul bonded eternal relationship with the lamp. It now instantly beats intruders senseless)

I've had googly eyes on my standing lamp since my third day here I'm not about to accept people shaming it now.

Have you forgotten love. We are meant to bond with every beautiful part of this world and find reason after reason to fight for it and if my pen having soothing eyes full of compassion can get me to tomorrow then I think that's beautiful.

"What if our tools had eyes and teeth and perhaps the glimmer of life in their soul" is the worst trend you people have gotten into yet. I hate this. I'm advancing the next event a few days so you people have something better to do.
