SHUT THE FUCK UP RN WHAT

Since my first run through of DQXI, I’ve always had this weird obsession with the Void part of the game. Master Pang said that it was a place where all souls go through before they depart to Yggdrasil. A sort of purgatory for the souls.

The Dundrasil scene from before got me thinking about how there were some rituals to bypass or even shorten the process in how long the souls had to wait. The quest you get from the priest in the Zwaardsrust region also makes me think in how souls get trapped in monster forms until you free them.

With that being said, in the game, the Void is a vast and endless space of darkness. The surroundings mostly likely shaped by the most prominent regrets of the accumulated souls around. (ex Master Pang because as much of a badass as she is, I feel like she regretted being unable to teach the last of Angri-La’s techniques with evil finally showing his ugly face. And that once Rab and Eleven came around and gave her the chance, that last light that we saw wasn’t Solar Flair but the illusion construct of the Field of Disciples fading away from the technique’s point of revival.)

The Void is a place where it gives souls a chance to lay their regrets to rest or a safe place to resolve them with the illusions as it did with Master Pang. The Dundrasil scene with the ritual to guide the lost souls also acted with the same catalyst in smoothing out regrets and the like as it was said that people killed by monsters weren’t able to move on. But obviously failing on some exceptions (ex King Irwin, when you first interact with him after beating him, his face was that same dark expanse as the Void that lead to the past and meeting the Gloomivore in that same expanse.)

Obviously there are some discrepancies with that because in that scene, it showed that whatever you interacted, you had an actual interaction with the past just like with Chalky. But with the Void being so interconnected with Yggdrasil, it wouldn’t be a surprise if someone with the right powers came along to bend spacetime (ex the Luminary.)

Which leads me to make next big obsession. While Yggdrasil represents all of the light and life. The Void is obviously the darkness and the death.

As someone who wholly believes in human faults and not the weapon, darkness is not evil. The dark was never meant to be evil. The age old subject that you see in some anime, games, and cartoons (ex My Little Pony with Luna. (Shutup this actually threw me for a loop in how deep the show got.))

The purpose of the Void is to renew souls and help move on peacefully. If it was for anything nefarious, then Yggdrasil wouldn’t allow that kind of evil to be interconnected with her in managing souls. The Void is what true darkness is, a cover, a saftey blanket for the lights that need rest. Just like how winter is a time for the earth to breathe before spring comes and life comes back just a bit better.

And to be honest, all this build up is just me trying to figure out how to incorporate Void powers somehow. That the darkness everyone uses wasn’t the real chaotic nature of what the darkness in the Void was. Nothing tainted by emotions like greed or the like.

Tldr: Literally me loring this shit out for Void powers.

Holy shit, not only are there more chapters for Boys In Blue but a new chapter for How We’re Made AND After Us (which I haven’t gotten around to yet), I’m so looking forward to going to bed tonight.
