This doesn't answer any of your questions and might raise more but there's folkloric precedent for this, there's a guy named Sir Twardowski who sells his soul, gets dropped on the moon on the way to Hell, and they just. stop trying at that point. They just leave him up there.

maybe space is just so horrible that the demons decided, eh, close enough 

Holy shit. You’ve heard of ‘it’s not gay if it’s on the moon’ now get ready for ‘it’s not a sin if it’s on the moon’

Father: I am a god!

Ed, to Al: Who the hell does he think he is?

Father: I just told you who I thought I was! A god!

Ranger: Should we… stop them?

Rogue: No, I want to see who wins.

you've talked about Prince of Rage a few times, and seem to view the classpect as much more... energetic/aggressive than Kurloz, who seems pretty chill even when he's being ominous and chucklevoodoo-y. Why's this? Is Lord English's influence part of it, or were you referring to a different stage in the whole true/failed/realized thing, or am I misunderstanding something?

Princes begin their sessions lacking their aspect. For Kurloz, this is his Rage; he lacks doubt, he lacks anger, he lacks any sort of negative emotion entirely. But this doesn’t mean that he doesn’t actually use any of it himself; he still has his Chucklevoodoos, and that is a very obvious use of Rage in and of itself. But that’s still not quite enough.

The thing with Kurloz is that, primarily, he is a Failed Prince of Rage. Whereas most are meant to be energetic, fervent, lively and almost horrendously stubborn when it comes to their beliefs, Kurloz is much more relaxed. He takes a step back in favour of Gamzee, who he sees as someone More Than Him. Kurloz never really gets that far with being a Prince of Rage, never does anything like Dirk does as a Prince of Heart, never reaches any sort of epitome of his power. He becomes passive rather than active, and that pretty much entirely goes against what he should be as a Prince.

I think you’re right on saying that part of it is LE’s fault. Kurloz serves LE devoutly, yes, and in a way I suppose you can call that his fervent belief, chasing after and serving his Lord even though it means betraying pretty much everyone else around him. Yet he never takes this as far as you would expect a Prince to - whereas Dirk tries to physically mould Jake into the person he thinks Jake should be through hours of rigorous training with a robot, Kurloz is a lot more sneaky, silent; pretty much everything he shouldn’t be.

Princes have a “take what I want because I make the rules” attitude, refusing to listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with them and imposing their will on them instead. Yet, again, Kurloz never does this. I think the closest we get to seeing that is being told by I believe Aranea about his sharing of the gospel before he sewed his mouth shut.

Whatever made him release the Vast Honk changed Kurloz’s path as a Prince of Rage. He seems much more of a Realised Prince of Rage prior to his nightmare than after it; something I would assume is what leads to the ultimate failure of their session among other things. Whatever it was, it was enough to stop a stubborn, influential Prince from sharing and enforcing what he saw as truth onto those around him - and that’s a pretty big something, if you ask me.

Basically: Kurloz being a Failed Prince of Rage, likely because of the nightmare he had, is the reason why he seems so out of character for what we would expect of a Prince of Rage. He acts more as a puppet himself than anything else, and that is something that an active classpect really just shouldn’t be doing.

Have a Vexxin! ^u^

That looks soooo good! Nice job!

16 and 17 for DnD asks?

Thanks for the ask!!

16: Favorite classMy favorite class is the wizard! Specifically transmutation wizards. I like the whole idea of changing and bending reality from what it is. There are a lot of neat things that you can do when being a wizard, and its fun to throw some wild cards right back at your DM.

17: Favorite raceGod this is difficult to choose. I do like Genasi a lot, the whole half-elemental thing has always struck me as awesome. So in a coolness factor, i think they’re my favorite. But to play as, I think i like half-elves because of the extra skills you can get.

Are Val and Isaac very stylized humans, or aliens? Also "Infiknight" sounds way cooler than "COW". Congrats Val, you're moving up in the world. (Retroactively being placed higher up in the world from the start? Depending on perspective.)

nah, they’re aliens. i got no humans in my universe.

Humans have a tendency to perceive the Other as a single unit, instead of seeing them as individuals with their own quirks and differences and disagreements. What if the aliens have the same issue?

What if humanity is the Aggressive Tough Species, but then the aliens run into a non-confrontational cinnamon roll who cried in their room for hours after an encounter with one(1) spider. Are we sure this is a Human, of the hellworld that is Earth, they do not wish to fight that is Not A Human Trait

What if humanity is notorious for their Tone and Body Language and general confusingness, but one day an alien is finally fed up and informs the humans that they are being RIDICULOUS AND OBTUSE AND INFURIATING and one of them just chimes in with ‘I KNOW RIGHT it’s terrible’ (maybe the human is autistic. and the alien’s new favorite because they suck at the incoherent humanspeak just as bad as the alien does. THEY UNDERSTAND.)

What if humanity’s Thing is dancing and the aliens have heard of this exotic art the humans make with their bodies’ motion and they ask their new human crewmember to maybe give them a demonstration of this art? and the human just. nopes. they tried learning to dance once but they kept tripping on their own feet and it was just a huge embarrassment they’d love to give u a demonstration but they actually suck at it
