i am working on The GodKing Rises. i think about renaming it as the Garden Rises/Returns because the Garden/Paradise is the focus.
Rather, the theme is forgiveness.
You can be ostracized from your community, be obsessed with depression, and want to be worse, but you can be helped, too. someone can reach down to pull you out of the hole. someone can forgive you and say, "You deserve to be loved."
i think of emily duncan's supposed "fall from grace." I think of cait corrain. i think of all the others who had broken trust and hearts.
and all i have is love in my heart. i am too old to not forgive.
are we not allowed to make mistakes and try again?

Georg Heym, Tales of the German Imagination; from 'The Lunatic', tr. Peter Wortsman
There’s something truly exquisite about stories where the real tragedy is the price you paid to stand on top of the world
Hollow victories … sacrificing your humanity on the altar of what you perceive to be the greater good … the loneliness of godhood … regret for the person you used to be … the realisation that there is no way back … *chef’s kiss*

too much focus on Ascension or becoming Greater not enough focus on what is Lost of you
you're not a person anymore, just a personification. you're a concept, an abstraction. all neatly defined boundaries and borders, none of the vagueries or blurring of lines or grey areas that come from being mortal.
you can never change, now. never grow or evolve, you are this, forever, stagnant. and the thing you've been made to embody might not even be your best trait.
