[miquellah]

quick video on how miquella's great rune originally doesnt mention the "original sin", but instead the concept of "causality"... and then a brief elaboration on what this means within buddhist concepts specifically

and tbh "evil deeds and intents begets suffering and violence, and so creates an endless chain" actually explains the cycle of violence within the history of the lands between much more clearly (and miquella's seeking to escape from that)

i think a lot of people complain about the "cycle of violence" trope and think it cliche or even like. as idk? justifying fascism aspects??? but literally not only is it just the effects of causality, but literally samsara

also, as one commenter put it, "radahn being [miquella's] choice suddenly begins to make even more sense, as he is a very literal incarnation of the push and pull via objects in gravity (which then manifested as him altering fate, which could be interpreted as disrupting the causal loop)."
