Jul. 24th, 2024 07:17 pmgoing on 4-5 days of being in crisis mode both with home stuff and work stuff that collided in a perfect storm (abso-fucking-lutely Done with this by tomorrow, fucking off from work for tomorrow afternoon and friday and being a vegetable playing ff12 and/or drawing nasty porn slash nasty feels)
but in the sleep deprived haze kinda toying with a very quiet postapocalyptic-ish au of what happens after your standard game rpg cast kills the god. tellius in this instance, but it doesn't even really matter which game, really. killing god's bound to break the world, both socially and metaphysically. what grows in between the cracks of power? what's the darker elements the god was keeping at bay, accidentally or intentionally? does it want vengeance for being stunted?
self insert story always had a twist of being a god-eater. (i always felt like killing ashera needed more of a sharper weight. what is it like to eat the sun, trying to protect others? ashera wields such terrible power that i wonder how the others weren't overwhelmed, even with yune helping. would a mage be able to eat/consume some of those AoE attacks?). would some characters go blind from all the magical attacks that surely emit UV-ish rays?
but: the "plot" less important than playing with the inherent quiet grief of surviving. enduring, after. ime the most interesting question after a lot of stories was: what happened after? living's so much harder than dying. dear god living in a broken shape in the guise of a human is so much work.
fundamentally a far more interesting story to me.
idk, pocketing this one.
