“The Idiot: unshod and ungirded, he grasped at power, and found himself burned.”
-Goblin Proverb
Same, honestly.
This saddens me, somewhat. She is so close to understanding the nature of her power, of truly beginning to wield it, yet turns to another for strength. Worse still, her wrath blinds her to this even as her power seeks to demonstrate itself. Quite literally, what with her hand glowing radiantly.
Well that went a different direction than most folks were predicting yesterday, but all things considered, it’s not all that terrible a decision after all. What good is an intact mind or soul, if it is consumed entire the next day by those who have the will and the strength?
(sidenote – love Incubus’s costume changes. I thoroughly appreciate it being stuck in, ahaha.)
Well, I don’t see how this can possibly turn out badly.
She chose… poorly O_Ou
Really disappointed in Usagi L. Jackson, falling for tricks as obvious as this.
Rock the casbah, baby.
The Idiot strikes again, or got striked? Insert a puece of him, hummm, sounds nasty.
I love you for your references, my fiend…
never change…and always remember:
“History does not repeat itself, but ocassionaly it likes to rhyme.”
– Mark Twain
Hopelessness and apathy
Ails this generation. I see
a world with nothing to offer me.
One of many excellent proverbs of the Goblin folk. But I wonder, who is the Idiot here?
Never really watched Sailor Moon so not sure if Tuxedo Mask ever jammed his roses into her forehead or not. :/
And Al, Sweety, there is a big difference between taking bold, heroic chances and Lemming style jump-off-the-cliff-because risks. -.-
Then Incubus floats out of dreamland and leaves our heroine to actually do the dirty work.
INCUBUS: “My job here is done.”
AL-YS-UN: “But you didn’t do anything!”
An investment I hope will be paid back with interest.
She is the pretty guardian who fights for love and justice!
Fools rush in where Aeons fear to tread.
I like that proverb. You ask for power, you get it. All three degrees.
Oh AL-YIS-UN…
Did you not understand anything Zoss told you? When the King of the Universe tells you that you need to believe in yourself and not take the easy way out, you damn well believe in yourself.
You just chose to be a peasant.
Worse. At least there is a kind of nobility in peasantry.
Alison just chose to be a pretender to the throne.
The fact that she could choose means that she could never truly be a peasant, only pretend to be one for a time. Much as a sword master in a barrel does.
Wtf did you just do, Alice. Why must you be so darn impulsive…
well. this is an interesting development.
“If given fantastic power, you must plot your patron’s downfall, lest you succumb to the inevitable sudden unexpected betrayal yourself.”
Mis-…-take…
And so the Dream Gaoler struck a deal with Rising King. And they signed it not in red man-blood but in rent ego and the blood we know as Want.
But is the idiot grasping at power Allison, for taking the deal, or is it Incubus, for thinking he could control what AL-YIS-UN is going to become.
Only time will tell, I suppose
The owner of a house confronted a burglar, once. A key changed hands. Now, is there still a burglar? Or is the house now owned by another?
