The black sunâŚ. the shape of the universe is a black hole? Abbadon definitely isnât referring to a Star Wars expanded universe criminal organization.
The alt text seems to be referring to tarot cards, anybody know whatâs up with that?
“When the light goes out, what will happen to the cavern?”
“It and the universe will cease to exist, for how can we see anything without any light, no matter how small?” said YISUN. Hansa was somewhat dismayed, but sensed a lesson, as was the manner.
“Darkness is the natural state of caverns,” said he, vexingly, “if I were a cavern, I would be glad to be rid of the pest of light and exist obstinately anyway!”
The shape of the universe being a black hole does not stand very far from the reality as we know it. (Considering all the mass in our universe observed to this day, its Swarzschild radius appears to be larger than the entire observable universe.)
I am still of the belief this is in that moment after she hit the ground. This is a dreamscape where all things have happened and will happen, just as Jadis sees it. If the truth of the vision can be overcome, who knows what new powers could be attained?
> Leto felt the dissonance between them then. It was an element of the universe with which his entire life grappled. Either he or his father would be forced to act soon, making a decision by that act, choosing a vision. And his father was right: trying for some ultimate control of the universe, you only built weapons with which the universe eventually defeated you. To choose and manage a vision required you to balance on a single, thin threadâ-playing God on a high tightwire with cosmic solitude on both sides. Neither contestant could retreat into death-as-surcease-from-paradox. Each knew the visions and the rules. All of the old illusions were dying. And when one contestant moved, the other might countermove. The only real truth that mattered to them now was that which separated them from the vision background. There was no place of safety, only a transitory shifting of relationships, marked out within the limits which they now imposed and bound for inevitable changes. Each of them had only a desperate and lonely courage upon which to rely, but Leto possessed two advantages: he had committed himself upon a path from which there was no turning back, and he had accepted the terrible consequences to himself. His father still hoped there was a way back and had made no final commitment.
Withered and dead, note that the flames snuffed out. I wouldnât put it past her to have her people create clones and she can jump around between clones, but then, the key is still thereâŚ.
I’m pretty sure it means that this is all a vision/coma dream that Jadis is perhaps projecting from within her icy-pole. We know for a fact that she can’t come out of it, and can apparently only barely whisper to people even in an emergency.
The clue, for me, is that Allison is missing an eye and an arm on the cover, so she can’t have had them repaired by Jadis like she has at the start of this sequence. That leads me to believe that physically, Jadis is still a corpse on ice, Allison is in the coma she was in at the start of the sequence, and Jadis is communicating with her through a dream or vision, perhaps to test her or to make her understand what Jadis understands about the nature of the universe.
O Destiny, conduct meâ
Wherever your decrees have fixed my lot.
I follow cheerfully; and, did I not,
Wicked and wretched, I must follow still.
For whoe’er yields properly to Fate is deemed
Wise among men, and knows the laws of Heaven.
O Destiny, if it thus pleases the gods, thus let it be.
Avert your eyes! Those who peak behind the curtain are wise fools. The path of idiocy is the one to royalty. To be king is to do, doing is done with skillful effortlessness.

yeah, the new photos from the telescope *are* pretty cool
yee, yon cosmos have never been more highly-defined (HD)!
eventually, this shall be quite a dated phrase indeed!
Almost every page, I hate that we can’t thumb up comments đ
OOooo…..
Avert your eyes!
Careful when one stares into the void, when they have the habit of staring back
i wonder if she’s just seeing the entire wheel now, would not be good for her health
she may also be seeing what Zoss/metatron have been doing
Itâs not a wheel, itâs an eye.

âEnding is a small light in a vast cavern growing dim,â said YISUN, plainly, as was the manner.
“When the light goes out, what will happen to the cavern?”
“It and the universe will cease to exist, for how can we see anything without any light, no matter how small?” said YISUN. Hansa was somewhat dismayed, but sensed a lesson, as was the manner.
“Darkness is the natural state of caverns,” said he, vexingly, “if I were a cavern, I would be glad to be rid of the pest of light and exist obstinately anyway!”
“Hansa is observant,” said YISUN.[5]
Hi, professional occultist here, none of those are tarot cards.
The shape of the universe being a black hole does not stand very far from the reality as we know it. (Considering all the mass in our universe observed to this day, its Swarzschild radius appears to be larger than the entire observable universe.)
Someoneâs about to have a fun time đ
Open your eyes, and seeeee
Your eyes are open!
What are “eyes”?
THERE IS NO PLANET B
Is this the real life?
It occurs to me that the Machine’s needly interface is reminiscent of the HORUS Gorgon’s face. And the function of both is to show you Bad Shit
Or… The pilot’s chair from ALIEN?
I am still of the belief this is in that moment after she hit the ground. This is a dreamscape where all things have happened and will happen, just as Jadis sees it. If the truth of the vision can be overcome, who knows what new powers could be attained?
i am reminded of a similar vision battle

And then she woke up, next to Cio.
“Last fucking time I eat gorgonzola just before bedtime…”
“Liar”, said Cio.
Back to withered Jadis, I see. That must mean something, wish I knew what.
Withered and dead, note that the flames snuffed out. I wouldnât put it past her to have her people create clones and she can jump around between clones, but then, the key is still thereâŚ.
An omnipotent being believing themselves a pawn might have many roles to play. At some point multiple vessels become a necessity
Haven’t you learned anything from speaking with her? Knowledge is a curse. Put off its acquisition as long as you can.

“Behold, All-Yi-Sun, the most forbidden sight in all the multiverse… it has been given the epithet: Jaggahog.”
Alice is following the white Jadis down the hole
And the black Jadis stays outside? Sounds a bit like Hawking radiation.
Just what I was thinking too. That mean Jadis is the White Rabbit, eh? Go ask Allison, I think she’ll know.
I suspect Nothing is more than it seems.
More or less, all depends on how you look at it. If you’re able.
Zaphod Beeblebrox finds this froody.
He always knew he was the most important thing in the universe.
Especially since he always knows where his towel is.
Leave it to Abaddon to make empty spaces look great.
She really, really should have had a plate of waffles before pissing off the demiurge.
These panels! Ah, abbadon it has been and continues to be such a pleasure
Black hole sun
Wonât you come
And wash away the rain?
Black hole sun
Wonât you come
Wonât you comeâŚ
Beat me to it.
Same, Yusin dammit!
