you know, I’m thinking about the difference between c!Centross and Fable and there thoughts about death so spoilers for 5/1’s lore
for Fable he’s terrified about the thought of death and it taking away his family (and in a way it’s kinda ironic because he’s willing to kill his family to do so) because he’s seen so many die and has seen their families grief and he has grieved himself.
he seems to see death as this looming force and he worries about that what seems to be everyday.
while c!Centross (who basically got his life’s synopsis) finds death to be needed, while he doesn’t like it, he doesn’t try and change it, he sees it as something that happens and you can’t change the outcome no matter how much you try.
he’s happy with the life he’s lived and the people he’s met and the people he’s loved, he’s sad that it’s come to an end but he doesn’t regret the life he had and has come to terms with the prospect of death.
c!Centross looks at death in a mortal lens (what a shock /s) while Fable, an immortal (who saw that coming/s) sees it as this horrific thing that can lead to nothing but pain and suffering. Tbh they’re great characters to compare.
Quick tangent, fable wants to gain power to surpass the primordial’s which I find silly, he wants to surpass death and kill them but they don’t control death, they control energy and void not death
so if he gained all the power from all the gods and created a world he personally made I think death would still live, there’s no life and death god to say who lives and dies, he would have all the power yes but not that power
