Hiiiiiiii! Insane your iceberg post and was wondering if possibly i could have the sources for: the one about horrus being a system, the cronus abelism one as Well as the one about kurloz talks cronus out of being the hero if its not too much of a bother! Have a lovely day and Take care!
Oh, sure! I absolutely can do that! Easy-peasy!

On Horuss Being a System...
Horuss's Plurality is quite an easy one. He references it multiple times! It verges on interesting, but every time the bait is taken, we get hit with the switch of it being a really cruel punchline against an extremely vulnerable group of people.
Yikes!

On Cronus's Disillusionment...
We mostly get this one from Aranea's infodump on Cronus. Here it is, verbatim, with the relevant portion in bold:
The 8ard of Hope may seem a little jaded these days, 8ut once he had a deeply abiding faith in magic, and dedicated himself to 8ecoming a great wizard. He 8ecame convinced he was hatched to defeat an extraordinarily evil magician, one he swore the angels foretold of. Though when pressed for the name of the man, he would not say it, claiming it was too dangerous to even enunciate. Part of his self-aggrandizing mythos was that this magician once somehow from afar tried to strike him down at a young age, so he would never have to face him. But the evil spell was deflected, sealing the magician's spirit away in a series of unassuming vessels until he could find some other cunning way to enter our universe. The attack supposedly left him with his distinctive scar. 8ut at some point he became disillusioned with magic. Any truth to his far fetched vision, the legacy of defeating the evil magician would have to 8e passed on to his descendant, or if his descendant proved to be as much of a failure as he did, then perhaps on some other Hero of Hope. I'm unsure why he suffered this crisis of faith, aside from the obvious reasons having to do with an overall lack of character, or any other redeeming qualities. Perhaps someone talked him out of his 8eliefs. Maybe a friend close to him. Or, if one is to 8elieve his fantasy held any water, perhaps someone who was in league with the evil magician.
Yep! It's just fucking Harry Potter, with a twist! But it's implied that Kurloz did that. He is pretty well known for colluding with the "Evil Wizard" in question, being Lord English, as well as mysteriously being there at every major event, ever... And Cronus is terrified of him, so. I think the only reasonable assumption is that Once Again, Kurloz Did It.

On Cronus's Ableism...
And finally... Wait. Wait, hold on a minute...
Did you just ask me for evidence that Cronus is Ableist?
The other two things are understandable, but... Really? You need a source on Cronus Ampora being Ableist? Are you... New here? Have you ever actually read anything Cronus has ever said? Brother, Cronus being Ableist is just about the most obvious trait he has. This is one of the key takeaways most people get from the Openbounds. His ableism is so fucking bad it's what made most people stop reading the Openbounds. His ableism is so bad it's genuinely triggered people before. It's so bad it's made people physically nauseous.
Well... You asked for it. I appreciate you seeking out knowledge, even if I'm a little confused by it. Here's a compilation of SOME - stressing, SOME, not ALL - of the vile things he's said to Mituna, who's mentally disabled due to a Traumatic Brain Injury.
Presented without further comment. Do I really need to make one?

You have a lovely day, too, Anon. Take care. May fortune find you, in mind and in wallet. Lol.
I haven't gotten to the mituna part yet, but I've heard that he has a disability. That's true?
Emphatically, yes. He has Brain Damage. The TBI was caused by an extreme overexertion of his Psionic abilities. It's canonical. It's called what it is in text.
He also has a Speech Impediment or two, which is also referred to by name. That's generally why he talks like that.
Funny how all of these screenshots are people being complete dicks to him, but that's just how it is with the Beforans... All you gotta do is remember that their treatment of him is absolutely unjustified and a way of punching down, which is honestly not that hard to do at all. You know, if you have any heart to you at all, lmfao.
