If I’m taking the story as it is, it seems like quite a lot of people ended up not really being “meat” in general. What would seem like the smallest “players” have all had their time in the presence of Allison. I guess it only really takes one change to have an effect on everything.
Either Gog Agog has no sense of privacy, she somehow knows what Allisons Earth home looked like, a world that has no active gate (not that it’d stop a demiurge I guess), or has seen this character type so many times that she knows what their home is like.
I don’t think that is Allison’s home on Earth that Gog is talking about. Allison lived in a sorority house, or something similar. Gog might be describing the house in the god-skull back on Throne?
Is this going to be one of those “you’ll become one of those people who ruin the world by trying to fight them” things? I hope not, that seems too cheap for this story.
Lots to unpack here. Based on the discussion from the previous pages I’m still curious if the gog-on-gog violence is just part of the bit or a real conflict representing disagreement within the overarching gog-mind.
And then the talk about love interest motivation followed by kinda!Cio in the box above… so good.
Yeah, it’s hard to tell because the fact that there was a gun in there means that it was expected to be used, or used as a backup option when things start going awry, but she says that things happened differently this time.
We should remember that here, in a place of her own construction, gog agog has full control of things and has had plenty of time to plan alternative improvs.
Alternatively, she had the gun materialized right then and there because those worms can materialize into things like clothes. They can materialize the metal bells, so, why not a gun.
“A worm crawled up my arm and rested on my neck. When he whispered into my ear, I felt a tingle… He told me how to make a weapon to help us against our enemies. And here’s the thing… it’s made of worms… it even fires worms… but it stings like you wouldn’t believe.”
But that’s not enough, is it? A just end here would require Alison — and everyone else — to be incapable of becoming a tyrant. Ideally through a broader distribution of power among the people, since stripping everyone’s power still allows another Zoss to come along.
I suppose her death could be a proper apotheosis, after which she speaks the 777,777th world into existence and turns into a rock like the other gods. Would even resolve the contradiction of a 50/50 split
For all her grand-posturing, Gog is just as stuck as the rest of the Demiurges in the looping time. She doesn’t have the power to break out of Zoss’s loop and she never will. She can say she nearly surpassed Zod all she wants but nearly is only nearly and not the ultimate finality. When the loop finally had a chance to cycle into something new she however didn’t take it. Gog is afraid of change that she doesn’t know which I know well because the early bird gets the worm and being earlier than Gog means being older than that festering fleeting worm-hive.
yes but a regular joe schmoe would probably need a lifetime to master Ki Rata or perhaps just an aspect of it. Better to just get a rifle and be done with it lmao.
It’s worth a shot.
Gooo, Allison! Live out the dream of our generation! BEAT UP EVERYONE!
That’s my girl. <3
God, I love this.
She’ll tell us what she wants
What she really really wants
violence is inescapable.
Oh no Alison, you’re sitting on Gog!
-“tell me what you want, what you really really want”
-“I wanna beat the shit out of people”

Yeah, I think Gog is referring to the skull-house, and if I remember correctly… Wasn’t it Cio who took care of the plants?

in which our heroine achieves the highest state of being: class hatred.
The fact that she has a gun prepared tells us that this is far from the first time that it was necessary.
Also, she says most of the time, so, I wonder what the other exceptions to the usual roles were.
Agog could always prepare the 10-ton weight or drop a piano. Remember the form does not matter as long as it’s whimsical
Atta girl!
Anyone able to get the link to work?

If Gog is the whole building, they would know Cio was there.
The question is “When will you rage?”
Alison’s answer is “Now”.
when will you wear wig
Now that, is some Joseph Joestar energy right there.
“The weeble’s stupid. It’s just gonna bounce around back and forth until it gets kicked out at the end. But if it were smart…”

I think you mean 777,778th?
“If you were to regain the will to live, what would you want?”
“Well If Jagganoth is still around, I might be a bit stressed.”
“But would you desire peace?”
“Nah, I’d Kill Six Billion Demons.”

I knew what that video was before I looked at it.
I keep forgetting that there’s regular ass goddamn guns here, who the hell needs Ki Rata when you can just pack a Glock and shoot your enemies.
I mean ki rata is overpowered even compared to guns. probably get the fragments of gun launched through your arm before you touched the trigger.
yes but a regular joe schmoe would probably need a lifetime to master Ki Rata or perhaps just an aspect of it. Better to just get a rifle and be done with it lmao.
Go Allison! Kill an unspecified number of demons!
