Even if my connection is all illusory and fictional, it still brings focus to my thinking, and helps me feel like I honor aspects of this universe I admire and enjoy. Or, in darker times, helps me conceptualize the far darker elements of our universe (especially through Devourer; through her eyes I can see all humanity for the speck upon a speck it truly is).
@Ulfra_Wolfe One of my oldest trips had me envision myself as a speck, clung together to all specks as part of a giant devouring beast.
My only old insight was that as a speck, I would retain the right to be sharp, even if other specks continued to gum me.
I'm still working out how to get us all out of our timeline before a different devourer of fate I consider leaves my children with nothing...
That's an oversimplification of Devourer's view, though. She sees how we're all specks, but she also spends time experiencing as a speck. "Empathy for the Ant" is a concept I should write out someday.
(But think about what a dark god you could be if you were to kill ants. How little they can comprehend you. How many kill ants for personal amusement.)
