#(which is soo juicy to think about if you answer yes—because then it introduces a whole additional layer of rebellion to his actions)

on the bachelor and resurrection

Thinking about how the concept of resurrection is touched upon in Daniil’s routes, and how the Marble Nest makes something of a mockery of it, casting him into the role of both resurrectionist and the resurrected. The man with an affinity for the living trapped in a cycle of communing with the dead..

+ the reminders that neither remaining nor returning shall constitute anything akin to a victory for him—just a trick mirror and, if you'll forgive the pun, a dead end

(p.s. the original marble nest line is a bit clearer in this connection, where the word for Sunday can also mean resurrection)

#still obsessed with aglaya's intro to him because WHAT DID YOU DO DANIIL. did he invent the patho universe's first defib unit or what#to blather on—all the (probably orthodox christian inspired) religious elements of his routes are really interesting#georgiy comparing the plan for simon as something akin to communion (+that line where simon refers to him as the closest thing to an heir!)#the marble nest gravedigger calling himself a shepherd; the clerks asking if he believes in god#(which is soo juicy to think about if you answer yes—because then it introduces a whole additional layer of rebellion to his actions)#anyway.#the idea of him conjuring up an endless cycle of resurrections in his head just feels so tragic..#he has this line in p2 where he explains his lab's baseline goal as allowing people the chance to choose when they die.#to bring them back after death has 'won' is a different matter entirely—but a distorted reflection of the latter is all he is permitted#it's just. ;-; I am literally always thinking about him. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT your tags are good OP I am peer reviewing them
