threedogs-toaster replied to your post “im fuckin agog at the fact that Rage might now be my favorite aspect…”

Yo real talk I’m fascinated by my opposin aspect, which is Blood. I tend to find that understandin your opposite aspect helps you understand why you’re so drawn to your own aspect 😀

yeah!! like im bein a bit facetious but honestly im just floored, i literally feel like understanding Rage through this new lens has sorta helped me understand my own relationship to the world better which has been bizarre but really really cool

This time we dig into Gamzee’s recurring links to the masks of Comedy and Tragedy, historical worship of the Greek god of Theatre, Dionysus, and what all of this tells us about Gamzee’s arc and, potentially, even the Rage aspect.

i guess the kids because i cant really parse a battle royale where the kids/good trolls don’t decide to all work together and break the rules of the system pitting them against each other. they are all empowered by the power of FRIENDSHIP

You said in a post earlier that Karkat’s denizen might be abraxas. Could it be that he just really has the trainer denizen? It would make sense for some duality stuff against Yaldabaoth.

I’m never inclined to think any character’s self-diminishing thoughts are correct.

Abraxas makes sense for duality stuff with Yaldabaoth–Yaldy is all about overwhelming power over the physical world, while Abraxas is all about complete embodiment of every aspect of the world of ideas.
Puts some meaningful context to Karkat’s description of his Denizen here:
