Quick question

“WE MUST DESTROY THEM OR WE WILL BECOME THEM AND IF WE BECOME THEM WE MUST DO BETTER”

What?

Is this why he was wearing red at the end of the Time to Say Goodbye Skit?

Is this what he means by “we’re going to use red to win?”

I’m processing this while typing:

I understood the bishops to be different bad thoughts in the bad-thoughts center of the brain. With their end goal being your destruction, and their leader being Blurryface/Nico/Insecurities-Which-Just-Means-Self-Focus.

But now the idea of “becoming a bishop” has become super prominent in the story. The letters are supposed to be written by the citizens of the city who are becoming/already are banditos. Banditos are devoted to the destruction of the bishops. I guess I always took that to mean they want to destroy the whole city—burn it down.

But Clancy’s later letters—where he’s all in on the cause because he’s starting to have revelations about the plan—all describe “burning out old teaching” and “taking it back.”

So the plan might not be to destroy the city? Even freaking though we’ve been talking so long about leaving the city? Not going there, not living there anymore? Because the city is “The Place Where Bad Thoughts Have Control?”

But now we want to take that whole thing “back?” And not just take it back, but “retake it?” Take it over? …Like it didn’t used to be this way, with bishops in control?

Oh, that’s why all the focus on nostalgia. Because you didn’t always used to have all these bad thoughts. The “Bishops” want to convince everybody that they’ve always been rooted in this part of your brain, always in control—but it’s a lie. There was a lie somewhere that gave them a foothold, and they took control, but things can go back to the way they were?

Anyway, that’s an aside—

—the point is, Clancy. Blurryface wants Clancy to put on a robe and replace Keons? Is that what he’s after at the end of Paladin Strait?

I guess you can make an argument for that. “He told me I’m a copy,” and all that. Plus, the whole lie that you might never be rid of your Self-Focus and dark thoughts, that that’s all you are and erasing them would “be like erasing a part of yourself.” Except yeah, it’s a rotting part, a cancerous part, you should want it erased, you need it erased. But maybe that’s part of the lie. The Dark Thoughts go, “you are us, you can’t get rid of us.”

So I can see why in the story their plan would be to make Clancy wear the robe next.

I can also see why that would make sense in a meta sort of way.

If Tyler’s saying bishops are the dark thoughts, and his gift has been music—the good side is that he can exorcise his demons through music, but if that’s all it’s used for, then can’t his image, his music, become entangled and identified with the “demons,” and then if he ever tries to stop making that the topic, that the use, of his music, he’ll lose it? So in that sense, who’s puppetting who—is he killing the dark thoughts with his music? Or are his dark thoughts keeping themselves alive because he keeps focusing on them in the music?

I can see why the bishops might be trying to get Clancy to be a bishop, if that’s what’s happening. I can also see why they’d win, if that’s the case. I just don’t love the idea that Clancy would embrace it and that would somehow be a good end to the story. Like, “now that Clancy’s in charge, he’ll do better.”

I don’t want it to be “now that I’ve understood the dark thoughts, it’s the same as conquering them—and I can use dark thoughts.”

That’s no good. No you can’t. Capture, then kill.

These have been random thoughts.
