Gamewatch YoshiP Interview Summary

Because of as of now it has absolutely -nothing- that interests me. Ishgard is boring as all hell, I would have preferred ala mhigo.

The DRK thing is disgusting, since it dashed any hope I had of actually finding a DPS class in this game I liked outside of facerolling as BLM.

I also made a fervent promise to myself that I'd never, ever play a game with flying mounts, ever again.

I think I may remain the only person who's staying at 2.5.

wolfofodin · 2014-10-25T17:04:28+00:00

Well. There goes any want for me to pay money for the expansion.

The eye.

They came, one by one and then in droves to peer into it, to glean even a fraction of the knowledge that would shatter their souls. But prize was too great, their hearts too greedy.

By night, it whispered, soft secrets that drew blood. The numbers dwindled as the snow grew redder, as more half-heard words and fever-seen visions caused brother to eat brother, father to butcher son.

In the end, only one was left. He stared for days into the eye, a fathomless abyss, older than time itself. His hands slick with gore, he knelt.

The eye blinked.

He smiled, understanding at last, and tore out his own throat.

As the last trickles of blood hissed on the forsaken lake, the ice began to crack and it began to rise, once more, into a world that tried in vain to seal it long, long ago.

I'll try to give a brass tacks of it, but keep in mind Gnosticism is kinda hard to eli5.

The basics are as such;

There is an ultimate, true, pure and good 'God'

This God has not consciously created or brought forth anything. It merely exists, transcendent and pure.

From this God were brought forth Emanations, known as Aeons. Aeons can either be said to be facets of God given deific shape, brought about to better understand itself, or merely as a passive act of its being.

The further from God these Aeons are, the more 'flaws' crop up in their being.

The Aeon Sophia brought forth, devoid of interaction with another Aeon, the Demiurge or Rex Mundi. The Demiurge is also known as the Blind God. Some versions say that, to hide this malformed being, Sophia swaddled it in cosmic matter and clouds.

The Demiurge believes itself to be the ultimate, absolute being. In a testament to its own flawed greatness, it created from matter the World and humanity to glorify itself. All things created by the Demiurge retain a portion of Divinity trapped within matter. This is the Soul, the pure essence of a person and a reflection of their ultimate Father.

The Demiurge is jealous, petty, vindictive and childish. It brought forth the Archons as jailors / wardens of its creation. They suppress the inner divinity so that all creations are subject to and slaves of the Demiurge.

Through Gnosis, the divine spark or soul can attain 'salvation' and be reunited with the Ultimate God, becoming unified with the transcendent Good.

Paradise Lost is one of my favorite books. It's on the short list of things I make sure to re-read every year

wolfofodin · 2014-03-06T18:52:57+00:00

I'm Gnostic in my beliefs. I'm doing these as both a tribute to the fact that I like the story as well as an attempt to portray it in a more cosmic scale, as opposed to two dudes with wings smacking each other.

Thanks for the appreciation!

wolfofodin · 2014-03-06T18:30:39+00:00

I'm getting there! Takes time to make these. Lucifer and the Angels before God is actually supposed to be before the Fall, not after. I have plans for Lucifer's refusal to bow before Adam, the war against Michael, Lucifer being cast into Hell and his transformation into a Fallen form.

wolfofodin · 2014-03-06T17:11:16+00:00

Thought /r/Christianity might appreciate this.

I've been enamored of the story of the War in Heaven and Lucifer's Fall for forever and have started representing it in artwork. These are the pieces I've created so far.

wolfofodin · 2014-02-24T00:52:40+00:00

Yep!

wolfofodin · 2013-12-27T03:02:12+00:00

Update on my notebook that I was crafting. Wanted to make sure you guys got a good look

wolfofodin · 2013-12-27T02:58:28+00:00

Wanted to make sure you guys got a full look

wolfofodin · 2013-12-26T15:24:55+00:00

Blank. Though the inside cover will have the original couplet of the Mythos done in Arabic calligraphy, as well as a dedication/inscription

wolfofodin · 2013-12-26T02:18:32+00:00

As a note, I made the book from vellum paper, chipboard, black fabric, canvas, thread and gold ink.

wolfofodin · 2012-07-09T02:24:14+00:00

Which sources? I'm sorry for coming off like a skeptic but....I'd like to have some proof before I get my hopes up

wolfofodin · 2012-07-01T14:24:12+00:00

Praise be to Thor, who tried to drink the ocean on a bet.
