#and students of the school of mensis wear the cage to “see the profane world for what it is”

[aoxizu]

you know the fall of rationality memory bubble, the one about the laurel wreath galaxy and the final act of its former leader aurelius

there's this quote from it: "Your field of vision is split by long, narrow, and cold iron bars. Based on what you feel with your fingertips, you confirm that the iron bars are a part of an exquisite cage — the crown that exclusively belongs to the Philosopher King, the head of the Laurel Wreath Galaxy."

in other words aurelius is wearing a cage as a hat

you know who else wears a cage as a hat

micolash, host of the nightmare, the annoying puzzle boss, and the some say kosm guy

2.3 spoilers ahead: our next stop on the journey (after the xianzhou detour) will be amphoreus, which is quite obviously greek themed, and the laurel wreath galaxy is also greek themed, and there's a Guy who is also greek themed

the 2 main sources of lore about the laurel wreath galaxy are the memory bubble fall of logic and the curio ratio nality's fall (introduced in 1.6 with gold and gears, much like a certain free character)

amphoreus is said to be quite chaotic with 3 paths present, and the laurel wreath galaxy was similarly messy due to the civil war between organic and inorganic life, and there are likely several paths that crossed there with the elation's followers who interjected and the philosopher's union that was already present

if amphoreus, the laurel wreath galaxy, and the Guy who shares similar theming are in fact all connected, then maybe in our next big update we'll get to visit amphoreus and see something like this

and when we meet ratio there, we'll get to see this

did i do all of this just to put ratio in a mensis cage? yes

but also i really hope that these three are actually connected and that ratio keeps showing up everywhere just because

this is a little far-fetched even for me but i think it's a possibility

not the bloodborne part but the visiting ratio's home planet part

perhaps i am simply going mad with insight
