In ancient times, the dead were often buried with coins in their mouths. This is because many ancient cultures believed the dead were a bunch of assholes, and thought it was funny to make them eat coins.

i see what you mean, and i think it's another interesting aspect of the game. the voices can rationalize a situation and present us with different options because they are... well... perspectives!

the blade may give you an easy way out of things, but knife or not, actually thinking about a situation with a part of you that was (and probably the wrong wording) tore out from you from the beginning will carve new avenues, especially considering you have a better grasp on a situation/the construct when starting a new chapter. shifty is also relevant to this conversation.

of course, and as much self reflection you can do, those new options won't always be positive. most of the voices were carved out from distrust and conflict, because the initial narrative demanded that either of you die in that situation.

i was brainstorming with buddies on discord and started thinking about damsel ch3 having the blade with her, already pointed at her heart, then just started thinking about the blade as a tool.

i think about the blade so much. a cold reminder of your mission in this world, something so tiny that represents a huge wall between you, your ability to be willing to understand others, to understand yourself.

if you bring it with you you've chosen to take a defensive stance against something and someone you don't understand, but it's so comforting, it gives you options, it gives you control over any situation given you don't underestimate the person standing in front of you. even when you don't want it, when you think you don't need it, it will come back to you. a nagging feeling. you're given the option to be distrustful even when you don't literally have it in you, it's what you've been taught is safety, it hangs over your head and dangles above your heart at all times.

and in damsel ch3 it goes from a tool given weight by the role you're supposed to play, to the same thing but looming over her this time. the expectations of what you're supposed to want and what's best for the people around you and what keeps you grounded, the narrator sang the same tune before, and he hurt her and he hurt you. he hurt himself and his humanity in the process. and now he's taken the backseat and is forced to see how messed up that is by having the smitten be the one pulling the strings of the construct, someone with a perspective so different, but one that ends up hurting everyone all the same, even if he doesn't intend it to do so.

everyone is forced to look at themselves in the mirror.

carrying that blade is suffocating for anyone.

and now im thinking about mr. "let's throw it out the window" contrarian, the only voice you can bring to her heart along with the hero, someone that refused to engage with the narrative and someone that is well aware that his perspective is annoying and unneeded for its purposes.

and then he meets the whole of her, and she tells him about how his courage is beautiful. he's the part of the long quiet that knowingly or not, is more willing to throw aside any kind of logic in order to understand a situation in a way the rest don't want to, and he's *now* realizing that his existence is an important aspect to have.

“What is your maid doing?”

“Oh yeah, she’s a bit faulty.”

“Oh, is that why she’s putting that in my tea?”

“No, that’s why she did it right in front of you.”

maybe subconsciously but a lot of people really do not believe women are intelligent enough to be funny on purpose, or absurd/ironic on purpose, or make art that makes people uncomfortable on purpose. “omfg how did she not realise how this would come off” she realised. i promise she realised. i’m going to kill you.

So when I was getting dressed today, I very quickly put on a lab coat and some cat ears, not even trying to have something coherent, just wanting to have some kind of costume, and then I used some eyeliner to draw some whiskers on my face, so, yeah, that's my costume, cat in a lab coat, does it make sense? no. who cares. Still wearing the same skirt and striped knee-high socks from yesterday, but that's just my work clothes.

But then when I got to my office in the physics department, one of my colleagues was immediately like, "Oh! Schrödinger's catgirl!"

i didn't know that they said that, but i do actually agree! it doesn't give you more options (i was more or less referencing hero's line, but it's not a direct quote), but it gives you options that are safest when presented with adversity, a way to "ignore" the problem if you start to get on edge. of course, and as stated above, this is not the only interpretation of the blade in a thematic sense, it can be used to fix things as well, it's just one angle of the situation.

he's wrong about it, but it's a sort of mindset he's embedded as a part of himself is what i'm getting at. i would love to hear your two cents!
