Seeker of Thrones 7-84
Chapter: 7
“Though the lord of the pit clads himself in finery and smiles, do not be bedeviled. He is a wretched, stinking king, and the minds of men are playthings to him.”

Oh yes. I’ve seen this before.
Humans have multiple voices within them. When one voice takes over and silences or ignores the others, the results are often elegant but rarely pretty.
Of course, usually it’s not the result of an outside power.
Well this is quite entertaining, than again, the dreams of men are always amusing and delicious.
I think that’s where the power boost ended up… It looks to be part Allison and part Incubus. Right now it’s kind-of Incubus’s pawn or at least is acomplishing one of his goals.
That thing probably is the power boost itself actually… now Allison just has to claim that power for herself.
My take on it: when Incubus gave her a boost, he would have naturally chosen to boost the part of her that was most like himself. This accounts for the visual similarity. It’s a sort of inner-essence-coming-out thing, shared by both Incubus and Giant Punk Ali and, quite likely, anyone else who has the same proclivities and power.
IOW, it is part of “herself” and always was. She doesn’t have to claim it for herself. She has to integrate with with the rest of her, and prevent it running the whole show without interference.
At the moment Giant Punk Ali is doing a bang-up job of keeping all the Ali’s alive and progressing towards her goal, so it’s probably best to not try and interfere just now.
But it will definitely be necessary in the near future.
I’ve been to places with trembling stones and self-sustaining rivers, but the mind has to be the weirdest.
I pose that White Allison is not the real Allison, but just another part of her mental make-up.
I have crippling depression~

Are the birds circling Big Allison’s head also versions of Allison?
1# God
I just realised that there are birds for scale in her head…
All I wanna do…
So what you are saying is that she’s gone full loopy now with a god key. Great.
I wonder what the background Alisons are named.
I’m calling the small ones Memories, and the large ones Traumas. Not quite so active participants in Allison’s mind as the Emotions, but important nevertheless.
Revelation comes in naming the Powers truly.
And which Power has Incubus put in charge?
Self-reflection is a dangerous but necessary task.
Is our “hero” going to have to kill herself? If so then I hope it is appropriately rad.
To reach enlightenment it is necessary to destroy one’s self.
“You’re in the sunken place”
Ok, but like, I’m just glad that the one who’s in charge is the one with the best haircut. That’s what’s important.

Who and what is this one? And why does this one remind us of Allison’s discovery?
I’m curious whether viewpoint-Allison has ever really been in control.
She was, at least as much as any of us are
How can you control anything without understanding it?
How can you understand anything without understanding yourself?
Incubus should beware, trickery and a lust for destruction will surely snuff his flame.
Goddammit I love every page Incubus is on He’s so great
Plot Twist: Incubus is completely honest, upfront and above the board in his dealings with Allison, and will remain so until the end of the story.
Honestly, this would be fantastic, especially if he seems to be a manipulative scumbag the whole while through.
That you ambition? S’been so long, I could barely recognise you in Alison, let alone myself.
Oh nice. A super family economy sized Alison. Just what I always wanted.
I’m pretty sure you can’t get one of those at Costco.
