#and sees poetry in the world

[blood-orange-juice]

(one of those too-long posts I might delete later)

What fascinates me about Childe is how he's an embodiment of Nietzsche's Amor fati, 'love for one's fate'.

Seeing everything that happens in one's life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. Accepting the world as some kind of perfect poetry. Celebrating the chaos of what is.

(Nietzsche considered it to be "the formula for greatness in a human being")

...and, just as it was easy to twist Nietzschean ideas into Nazi propaganda (despite him being strongly against everything Nazis ever stood for), it was easy to turn our precious boy to something just as sick.

I'm almost sure Mihoyo writers *know* the concept and nazi references are intentional.

His Golden House speech is pure perfection in term of references, really.

thinking about what we lost when megatron stopped turning into a gun. like if you were made to be a weapon only aimed by other people would you not crave bodily autonomy. if you were made to be a show of force would you not find it hard to resist what you are. if you were made to be a pistol would you not miss being held.

You've been in his head.

But he says, never faltering, the words,

"I choose the danger."

It is in that moment that you understand:

He could never, would never,

Has never hated you.

Now you realize:

this is what humans refer to as love.

Just in case you haven’t finished Veilguard (like me) and haven’t made it to all the big lore stuff (like my brother) I’m putting my morning thoughts nonsense under the cut. It’s kinda spoilery.

I wonder what it would be like for a Lavellan who joined Solas in vg to be so happy at first. They’re with the man they love the most, they’ve forgiven him and for the first few days, months, years? together in the Fade, they’re happy.

But what happens when they start to miss their friends? Their family? When they remember who and what they left behind. When everything starts coming back to them, the memories of all they went through since he left after the end of DAI, after the events of Trespasser and the years between the dlc and Veilguard. Yeah, Lavellan loves Solas, but is love ever really enough? And then the discussions of magic and the Fade and history Lavellan loved so much turns into arguments and blame, realizing that their forgiveness isn’t enough or even the forgiveness that matters after all he’s done. Lavellan isn’t the one who gets to absolve him.

And because they have started to regret it, they’re fucking stuck there :)

I’ve also seen takes where Lavellan is like we’re still tearing it down when everyone we know dies right lol and that’s beautiful too. Everyone’s different takes about how this ends for their Inquisitor is great and I love y’all.

If you want to see what someone is afraid of losing, look at what they photograph.

Oh I’m utterly fascinated by how people of the past expressed the unexplainable through art and poetry, turning their turmoil from being alone and misunderstood into something beautiful that all may see.

Honestly a shame that people now just whine about not enough flags to represent them when at some point in the past many individuals would not even know how to justify what they were feeling nor find people alike, and to atleast find comfort in the solitude escaped through music and literature, fanaticising about worlds where such a thing was normalised or turning themselves into a beast, to share with the world the level of their inner workings.
