WHEEL SMASHING LORD 3-92
Chapter: 3
“The sixth Agony: the Agony of Loss. The slow agony – the in-bending of will, dragged by the hooks of time. All things will suffer and change – this is the order of things. In their impermanence – beauty, but also pain.”
– Uo, Archivist Precept of the Blue City
Girlie you need some Help
I can fix her
i can make her worse
whatever’s wrong with her is hotter
This is the most K6BD comment chain to ever turn the Wheel.
BORING BORING BORING.
The version about Gog was better.
The above comment was written by Gog Gang (and by Gog. And by Gog.)
She can make me worse. They both can make me worse. With each turn of the wheel the hotness turns-
yeah that’s not worth it is it. Break the cycle, face new ones, with hope, love, curiosity, and understanding. there is a hotness to that
That is your view of hotness, but as these eyes of mine look upon that form, I see heat that would make a Sun red in the face
She can make me her
She really does need a break from all this, she has worked so hard to escape her past. The friendship that she thought would free her from the wheel of violence shattered her against it instead. I’m not sure if the worm will fix Nukoku’s problems.
Definitely agree. That kind of stuff hurts and simply doing the cycle over as part of Gog-A-Gog will not fix it
The part we’re all missing is that if she fails to maintain her identity in Gog, she can simply try again next cycle.
If she doesn’t fail, she won and will be back.
There is no defeat.
Does this imply that there is an original, non-worm Gog somewhere?If everyone is reborn during each cycle?
Demons are children of the hot black flame, they hold no form and are made bound to this world when they are masked.
When a demon dies it returns to the hot black flame until it is called on once more.
So like Angels who all exist and have names handed to them by the gods, it may be assumed that all the Demons who exist pre-masking are the same each time and perhaps they too have names pre-masking of which we do not know.
What we do know is King of the Demons, “Himself” is the only known Demon to have freed “Himself” from the Hot Black flame and taken shape without being masked, until Nukoku that is.
It feels likely that a demon with the will to manifest flesh unmasked may have the will necessary to conquer Gog-a-Gogs and remain whole as a part of her worm cycle. After-all, could Gogs worm be more difficult than being a demon having all your existence shredded from you and being forced back into the formless and nameless black flame? I think this Nukoku can handle it.
Like Gog has said the names, faces, and roles all change and shift, but the story is the same.
Except she has a small fragment of her broken mask inside her somewhere. She’s not “unmasked”.
I thought that’s what the teeth and spikes were. Fragments.
“We’re all doomed to repeat our mistakes. So why even worry about it?”
Its hard not having a role set out for you and instead having to answer the age old question; ‘What do I want to be?’
I want to be a race car. VOOOM VOOOM!!!
Follow your dreams, good Doctor! With patience, sacrifice, and some luck, anything is possible!
(You might have to work on your elocution first, though. I have it on good authority that race cars go “VROOOM VROOOM!!!”, not “VOOOM VOOOM!!!”)
I look forward to seeing you race someday!
p.s. glad to meet a fellow PhD holder in this barbarous age. Always seems to be angels and devils and warriors here, never any class. Where was your alma mater, might I ask?
Perhaps Dr. Smartypants wishes to have an engine and exhaust that produces the VOOOM VOOOOM sound, or a sound system that does while going fast, at any rate. I too look forward to seeing Dr, Smartypants, race!!
P.S. It saddens me that the art of the warrior Sage is not often taken. There will be such a future and there has been such a past, degree or no
i want to be gog
Apotheosis but for a difference of one letter and quibbling about whether demiurge-hood is close enough.
Kill the lie of I, embrace that you are part of Yisun.
Alone, I is a lie yes, I at all is true, best as one can tell. For the many are one, or collectives of individuals, and individual collectives. Individual and collective identity and the cosmos all overlap. Is there an I, a We, an All, or None? Even if truly there is not working with the information we have and learning and as the youth say, committing to the bit for absurd autonomous freedom, is a beautiful, hopeful thing. Such mayhaps is a lesson of the Cycles of Al-Yisun, who I think other people have figured out the name for was a Chekov’s gun for Allison <3
IM GONNA KMS IF THEY DONT GET SOME FUCKING CLOSURE
Don’t put that on the creator, job’s stressful enough as it is.
Have no fear, they’ll be back as 57 Blood Of Oathbreakers Spilt And Sworn By in a few decades. They are very passionate about doomed romances it is a recurring issue. I have on multiple occasions considered giving them advice on the subject!
Very passionate indeed, i remember it was still 53 Blood Of Oathbreakers Spilt And Sworn By at the start of this story.
Your advice is long overdue.
That worm is off the hook.
You could say the worm caught the fish that ate it. A successful fishing trip 😛
ok! ok! let’s kill this guy! let’s kill this guy with our tail!
I see you are a connoisseur of Lions from the North.
I can’t believe Gog Agog just fucken died…
I wonder what the other trillions of Gogs will do about it.
The Gog Times published a beautiful memoir written by her wife, Gog Agog. Friends and family gathered by the millions for the funeral, including notorious celebrity Gog Agog and controversial political figure Gog Agog.
I’m agog for her. She’s all agog.
Do we know if Gog Agog is Gog Aghast at the news?
Gog but not forgotten…
THE BANANA GOG-AGOG IS PRAYING FOR THEIR SOULS
Stranger: I wear no mask.
Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!
The Gog in Yellow
In Ivory
“Masque of the Ivory Devil: A Fantasy”
by Edgog Allan Gog
I don’t think anybody who’s lost this much of their mind can take a worm without getting disintegrated.
I think casually killing Gogs is just kind of a local custom. You have to do it or everyone else will think you’re rude.
When in Rome do as the Romans
Royalty is a continuous Gog-slaying motion.
Even Jadis got in on it, which has only become funnier and funnier as we learnt about the two of them.
Gog has set the precedent by having one self killing another for shits & giggles, after all.
The Seventh Agony: the Agony of the Future Unknown.
An inversion of the sixth, the humbling impotence of submitting to the dumb passage of time until a looked-for future proceeds into the Now. Console yourself with work to bring about the desired future all you wish, it shall not come until the turning of the wheel makes it so.
Yes! The agony of knowing that it will be summer before we get another chapter is enough to make me rip my soul apart, somewhat like NewCoke is doing on this page.
You see, this is what happens when the beautiful are forced to go out without first putting on their faces. People see who they are beneath, and it is rarely so brilliant as the visage they normally wear for the world.
Fortunately, masks may be restored, and the self repaired, as all broken things may be if they are not merely discarded.
Reminds me of a story where an innkeeper had a wife so beautiful that it was always causing trouble among the customers. The innkeeper paid a mage to put a curse on her so she would appear ugly to everyone but himself. I always wondered what the wife saw when she looked in the mirror.
Tha hath done it now! We’s dunno wot ole Cioci gon do next, but we’s ‘ere fore the ride!
Do not discard the broken self, it is a stool that may be repaired.
Hurf hurf hurf.. ye sed stool.
Minutes later-
Nukoku: No, wait, my bad. Turns out I was wearing my mask all along. …uh … sorry.
No lie, that is one hell of a spot for a hiatus, I am in great pain
Hope the little one is well! And doesn’t keep you two up *too much* 🙂
He said that 5/10/24 will be the last update for a while, so no worries.
He said that the last update would be EITHER 5/10/24 or 5/3/24. It seems like they were able to get it out for today.
He said on Twitter after posting this that we’re getting one more page next week.
Nukoku, pretty sure Gog-Agog would’ve just handed it to you. You didn’t need to stab her.
Spare a thought for the poor devil, indeed…
Spare a thought for the poor worm…
Further still – Spear a Gog for the poor weevil, I’d say
So uhhhhhh… anyone else notice how the speech bubles are… startlingly familiar to someone else’s? And how they’re referring to themselves as “We” a lot… kinda like the other being that shares those speech bubbles..?
I’m not sure what you’re referring to, Himself has black speech bubbles, but he calls himself “I”… Is that it?
Spare a thought for the poor devil, indeed…
(Oop other one posted to the wrong person!)
Lots of devils had black speech bubbles, they go back-and-forth on it though.
Is it just me or is Nu…filling out, as time goes by?
*ahem*
I mean yes it is odd words colours symbolism oh look a worm-
…….. Damn she’s even hotter in this page. (Not in like a tortured agony kind of way but in a ‘god i want a girl that can just skewer me on a whim’ kind of way).
…. seconded.
Gave her that Xenomorph Queen physique, accentuated by an H.R. Geiger-esque ass that he’d be proud of.
I dunno Allison Himself seems to do fine without one
In his box
Surrounded by ebon devils who hate him
Absolutely fine
If Himself wanted to leave Himselve’s box then Himself would leave it. Himself is vibing.
Himself big cat confirmed, loves a cozy box
“A small and quiet place.”
If you hear a scream it was me
…..that’s a terrifying thought.
congratulations, this one quote has convinced me more that the Himself theory might be right than anything else so far.
a small and quiet place indeed.
definitely not the reply button I pushed. excuse me
SHE’LL NEVER DANCE WITH US AGAIN.
WRONG. YOU’LL DANCE FOREVER ONCE YOU FIND IT
How is she so freaking strong? She went from pale to ivory in a couple of pages!
The fire called Want is a hell of a drug.
REMEMBER OUR PROMISE
Oh ye of little faith.
Devils are creatures of desire, and brother, she’s mastered the art of yearning. Lesbian yearning. There’s no stopping her.
I mean I’m not sure she was ever pale; pale devils have a distinct look (round masks, dark bodies, and red eyes) and even within her carapace Nukoku never had any of those.
Whatever she was before this last handful of comics, I don’t think she fit into the standard schema even then.
Cio gunna become the new worm God
What a drama queen.
I want 50 pages about her.
Join the collective clussy. Honk on down to clown town. From squeaky nose to squeaky toes, you are in the 1st term of the worm.
Of course, it’s no good to just the worm.
She’ll also need to ensure Creation is reset.
I get the feeling the devil in the box has always been Cio, and that this is what “When the Throne is offered, spare a thought for the poor Devil” always meant.
