#rt intervals worldbuilding notes

[re-ikrmso]

this is just a new ish concept but. its so cool to me. like “wow how did i not see this before but like”.

you know with a story with eldritch beings you'd except a grandstanding world ending event to happen (well, it KINDA gets there but.)

they're taken care of. and then there's that second storyline coming in. that other being on the void. you cant let them escape right? or else they'd cause unfamthable damage, right?

right?

except they wouldn't. they'd just live life. they just want to live somewhat freely. to feel the sun and air again. to see life, while being able to keep over their obsessive guardpost.

so who cares? right? in comparasion to everything else that's happened

what's one life to lose?

and that's what Nameless is so scared of. Because there's all this fuss. There'd be so many complications for IF they just didn't give up and give what Nocide wanted.

I mean, what's one life in comparison to a being who did their best to hold a spirit of violence and fear back from wreaking more havoc (although unsuccessfully?) what's one life compared to someone who doesn't even have a name?

When it would be so much easier to throw them to the void and allow someone else who "deserves" a life more than them.

What then?

The final part of this story isn't about stopping some monster from destroying the world(kinda), it's about realizing that you don't NEED a reason to live. Just live. Just find joy. SO what? So what if you cannot remember anything? When you cry and sob, and that tarry vicious bile starts leaking--and you tell yourself you want, you want to live--you don't want to say goodbye

then it's not time to say goodbye. What's the value of a life? It's the life, the person itself. It seems so small compared to everything else, but that's also you. that could be anyone. it could've been Blue, It could've been Mangie. It just happened to be Nameless--is it the fact that ANY life could be so inconsequential enough to throw away that it's worth giving what Nocide wants? Or is it the justification that the person you'd throw to the dogs has no purpose? No name or soul? Maybe there isn't one.

So who cares?! They take the harder, more turbulent path just to save one life. Just to save one more person from madness and nonexistence.

you remembered, right? that cliff we always sat on? that little corner you crouched in and pretended was yours, all yours to observe--to watch from?

you remembered, right?

that anger upon seeing someone else there,

and then the dissonance in your head, of your voices

did you forget?

the smell of smoke and the rattle of death

[re-ikrmso]

Blue: Emotional crutch/punching bag (hope)

Nameless: deadlocked observer (The remembered who forgot)

Mangie: Spite and hatred incarnated (The self-proclaimed injury)

Nocide: the spiral, the dead end (the self proclaimed jailer)

Dark: straight line, aimlessness (The remorseless)

Named: the anchor, or harpoon (The forgotten who remembers)

Mizu: The aspiration and catalyst (irony with the dead)

--

imagine reality as paper. there is a void underneath it, under "reality" itself, a space between the world and another possible universe. the empty section is devoid of natural logic as well. it is numbing, but not quickly enough. time takes it's toll on everyone inside, jailor included.
