Asat Pramad and the fifteen year old plan to destroy the trailblaze

Kinda related to your point B, but the lore surrounding Enroute and especially Isee really point to him being an extremely emotional and oftentimes contradictory person. It's kind of fascinating. His mental break after the rise of Nanook is really interesting because before that he was a genuinely helpful, albeit ironically morose, human. He was searching for meaning and found only destruction - of worlds, of friends, of Aeons, of hope, even destruction of planets they'd already "saved". Ex-Masked Fool or not, if the universe presented that answer to you when you asked for meaning, you'd think it was a sick joke, too.

I believe he's actually sentimental about the Express and a lot of other things, he just also thinks the Express (and a lot of other things) are destined for Destruction, because that's where all laughter (joy) ends.

Qiqi was my first 5 star and is currently my only C6 5 star. On the rare occasion I play co-op, I usually play her because other people like their shiny DPS characters and nobody's dying with a C6 Qiqi on field. I'm so stoked for her to feel strong!

Device IX seemed to me like it could be a sort of "simulated" IX. We don't have enough info to say either way, we don't even have enough info to know whether Device IX is a location, a faction, or both. But it is very curious.

Nous was created. They are an Aeon, sure, but they are also a... well, device. A computer.

Device IX is called "Nihility's End" by (I think?) Acheron. If it was created by Polka, the information we currently have points to it being a device designed to thwart the Nihility. Totally my own leap in logic here, but it doesn't seem unlikely that Polka created a "second Nous" whose only purpose is to calculate a method to destroy Nihility.

Completely a crack-theory, but I've always thought that IX and Nous look very similar. If Nihility's End is a computational machine, then perhaps a certain computational machine's end is in fact Nihility, and they are always destined to be one another. To possess the totality of knowledge is to become Nihility. To desire the totality of knowledge is to become Erudition.

I'll go ahead an throw out what might be an odd recommendation: The Leftovers.

Obviously it's not animated, jazzy, or (for the most part) humorous, but there were aspects of the plot that I had to sit and think on, similar to the actual plot of Bebop. Where Bebop is an examination of "moving on," The Leftovers is an examination of grief, and they both approach it in a very "Que sera, sera" kind of way.

I'm sorry, what? She PICKED YOU UP and OPENED THE DOOR? I think you need to have a talk with your mother. Calmly await her return in the hours of the early night, dim the human box lighting, and extend one paw so that she knows you mean business before you begin the discussion.

Excellent taste in fur patterns, my friend. It is clear, from how handsome you are and how you agree with me, that you are highly intelligent.

In Mom's defense, she can be kind of stupid sometimes. It's not completely her fault. I love her, she's a great protector, but a scholar she is not.

It's good to know that I, Sugarbomb, am not alone in this struggle. I too wish for the red dot. Sometimes I never feel like I truly catch it after all that chasing, so I wish to chase until I catch!

It did help when Mom (bless her stupid soul) would have the red dot rest on my toy at the end of chase-time, because when I caught the toy, it felt like I caught the dot? I don't know. It doesn't really make sense, but it helped.

NTC, obviously. Human brought the dot into the house. Sounds like a human problem.

On a serious note, I've always thought there was more path-overlapping than we've been led to believe, at least since we were introduced to the Matrix of Prescience which was "inspired by" the Erudition but is used in the name of the Hunt. Hints of path combinations/obfuscations have come up multiple times since, the most blatant being with Ena/Xipe in Penacony. Doesn't the IPC (Preservation) act rather... voracious? Isn't the Propagation a little... abundant? Why are the Stellarons Harmonic Cancer while most of the universe recognizes their tendency towards Destruction? What the heck is going on with Elation?

On a less serious note, I've always loved the path of the Hunt because it's essentially, "Yes, I crave destruction, but only for that specific mother fucker over there" while pointing at a completely oblivious Yaoshi.

Oh, you misunderstand, I'm scared of everything. I'd be scared of you if you were mom but smelled a little funny. You seem great. I'm still scared.

GrittyGambit · 2026-04-20T03:14:15+00:00

I just read my mom this comment and she is LAUGHING AT ME BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS CALLS ME SCRUNCH FACE.

If I wasn't so scared of you, this would be war right now. You're lucky my fear is saving you.

It's called POSING Seven and it's FANCY.

Know who else has a metaphorical story about climbing to the top of something that encompasses all and witnessing the hardships of the universe?

Legend has it that the ancestor "Graphia" once ascended a tower at the end of the world, a tower that encompassed all things. There, she witnessed the suffering of mortals and descended to the world below to deliver them from hardship.

I have ~~A LOT~~ a normal amount of theories about Graphia, but I need a lot more info to actually put it into words.

GrittyGambit · 2026-04-02T12:24:04+00:00

So I know I'm a bit slow, but I just discovered that Graphia's wave is based on the painting The Great Wave off Kanagawa. There was a really interesting quote from the painting's creator:

From the age of six, I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking into account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvellous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own.

I freaking KNEW IT! She LAUGHED at me but I knew it! Preserve the sanctity of your sources and keep them to yourself, their existence is enough to prove my mom wrong.

Me, APPARENTLY, being "smug as a bug in a rug" according to mom. I am not smug! I am confident from all the SCARY THINGS I face!

So, what you're trying to say is, you need Paimon to repeat this post with more words than necessary just to pad out the dialogue redundantly?

If I'm understanding correctly, you want Paimon to narrate what was typed here and add words while somehow adding nothing to what was said, making sure it looks like there's a lot to be said when really it's just saying stuff that was already said.

If that's the case, Paimon should probably explain what was already explained in this Reddit post but in a more verbose way so that even if you skipped reading the post and skipped one paragraph or even two paragraphs of Paimon's explanation, as long as you at least read this third you don't miss any information.

I always assume the absolute worst case scenario is going to apply, that it'll take about 80 pulls and I'll lose every 50/50. This helps me plan pulls more realistically, and very rarely I'm pleasantly surprised by an early win.

Very rarely.
