After the au to your au you are now writing your own meta!

LOL. but also. yes.

i never write like “meta” posts or whatever about Cassian because all my Cassian thoughts and opinions can be found in the Nonsense, and it seems... redundant? weird? to post them here? it feels like i’m bragging. like i need an excuse, an explicit interest/comment to really dig in.

but i got A LOT obviously

never fully dug into all the angel symbolism/related themes LITTERED throughout the Nonsense. like there’s been Some Mentions of Some Things but it’s tip of the iceberg stuff

i beg u someone please ask me about this sometime and give me the opportunity to prattle on about this

didn’t even cover all the hints/incarnations of mental illness/depression/melancholia in the Nonsense, particularly GRAY AREAS

like: Jeseej’s prediction vs. what the Angel on Iego said

[I think they’re both right]

allegories!

Cain and Abel

Beowulf stuff

fuck there was another one i’m forgetting

parenting philosophies!!!

Asori vs. Wada [mother+sister vs. father+brother]

Wada: do as I say not as I do

Asori: do as I say and as I do

raising a child vs. using a weapon

IDK they do a lot of this the same

Gabriel vs. Serafima

Gabriel chose not to raise Cassian

Gabriel wanted Cassian to forgive him so desperately

and now Cassian wants Ersa to forgive him, but he wants Ersa’s forgiveness for something else, something that is not even his fault

Serafima never had the time to raise Cassian

Serafima felt tremendous guilt over this “abandonment” of hers, and the revelation that Cassian inherited her melancholy

Cassian doesn’t know how to be a parent without feeling this urge to beg forgiveness

Is he wrong? IDK.

Suns and Moons and Stars

and sunsets and beaches, there’s a lot here

anyway.
