>>58717303What is a hero? What is a villain? Does it really matter when we are shown an epic with characters greater than life dancing to the tune of defeat?
What kind of struggle is this brave strap subjected to? the modern Atlantis holding the world on its back.
A single piece of fabric with two metal hooks against a landslide, against a flood.
Is it man against nature? Or is it the ingenuity of man against the creation of God? Where is the hubris coming from—man trying to contain what the creator made, or from the blind fool who created something so big humans had to chain it down?
And where are these chains from? Are they man-made, attempting to hold the dark feminine in place? Maybe this is why Shiori was jailed; her puppies were too extroverted for mortal morals. And this is canon: the Abyssgard sisters were imprisoned for being too rowdy.
Or maybe they were crafted by some lust demon or by some love goddess; what is the difference? We talk about elements as if water was water and not water with some air and some ground in it. Maybe the so-called red thread of fate is just a primeval version of the push-up bra. The enchantress fantasy, the witch cooking in her pot and getting high on her broom because she lives alone in the woods.Female trickery, the body horror of twisting and shaping bones and flesh to bewitch the knight on a quest. The poor fool is never coming back to his princess.
But the strap doesn't know. It struggles because he has to struggle. That's life to it. An eternal pushing of the boulder, knowing that if he fails, he will be crushed. So he struggles, fighting a war so bigger than it that it doesn't know there is a war.
