#Frozen Alive - Live

[lloydfrontera]

i think it fucks immensely that bk moon went out of his way to 1) establish rakiel wished to live a long life and eventually pass away of old age, 2) have him very briefly envy an immortal being only to be told very clearly to be careful what he wishes for by that very same person because living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be, 3) make the main antagonist be another immortal being who is so desperate to die he's willing to destroy the universe just to finally rest and 4) have said antagonist psychologically torture rakiel with the threat of making him live for a thousand years as everyone he loves and knows eventually grows old and dies and becomes nothing but forgotten memories.

only to then end the novel by making rakiel also immortal

like. god. it's so fucking good i love it. i'm not being sarcastic i genuinely think it fucks and it's one of the best ways bk moon could've wrapped up the plot.

it's a happy ending by all means but it has consequences and through the entire novel we've been shown and told over and over again just how heavy the consequences are and/or will be on rakiel.

he got his happy ending but it was at a price and by the last time we see him he's only just starting to pay for it.

it's great i love it

Tbf, I think the being alive for 500 years would have fucked Golem up as well. Imagine being born in 1522 and having to be alive now. Especially if you just lived in the middle of the woods away from everyone. Imagine accidentally stumbling into a city and witnessing, in the darkest hour of night, a light so blindingly bright you could mistake it for the dawn's rise. Imagine looking up, and seeing words so familiar and yet so different, surrounded by strangers speaking words unfamiliar, dressed in the garbs of royalty. Surrounded by a roar of noise unfamiliar, scents filling the air that are so alien to you, you'd be forgiven for thinking you'd found another world.

It isn't just that the people you knew are long gone, but the world as well. The old castles are fallen and ruins, the boundaries of kingdoms gone. The tongues spoken have faded into distant memory. Would you not as well cling to whatever relic of the past you could find? Cling to that which remained, that reminded you it was not all imagined? The last vestige of a home that no longer exists?

Anyway sorry I just love the whole 'immortality is a curse' thing, and I think it's a massively under explored thing in terms of just. What being alive that long does to someone. (Not to mention the crippling isolation and loneliness that comes with not just being the last person who knew that old world, but from being alone for 500 years! There is no one who can break that isolation now, no one who can free you. Of course you'd crave the last thing that remains of a world long gone.)

started off with goofy 'haha smeagol mercury poisoning' and turned into an analysis of being cursed with being unable to experience time or death without it driving you mad.

immaculate and a thoughtful thesis as usual, piralos! i'm blown away by the vivid imagery you get from this. (●ˇ∀ˇ●)

don't know how to describe it without metaphors. audhd feels like I have 10 strings hooked into my body pulling me in opposite directions and leaning towards one string to try and "fix" that problem (cooking, cleaning, classwork, etc) just makes the other strings pull tighter and hurt more. this point of this whole post is to explain that when I see someone older than me who also struggles with exactly the same things to the same extent that I do, it makes a couple of those strings loosen and stop pulling. not forever, because they always start pulling again, but having the expectation lifted of needing to have a "normal functioning life" by age whatever is so nice. everything still hurts but for now at least that part of my brain can rest.

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
