will you stop at assymetrry

or will it just

make clear how much more noise there is

nothing went away

it just all got shunted to one side

are you doing it because sefia did it

or is this where the void naturally leads

eyeless

limbless

silent things

safe and protected from this idiot mass of colors

alieka's smart enough to not worship sefia as some kind of void-goddess or something like lots of kids nowadays do

which is why she's actually like

like the average "void adulator" in these modern times it's one of three things, i think

in the auroral confedracy you have a really low-key void adulation that's based around the idea of separating yourself from the rest of nature and becoming something greater than it. the average AC void adulator is about 20-30 black, and studies the void as a concept of detatchment and separation. it's thought of more as keeping your head above the Ocean instead of drowning in it.

after sefia especially and her publications, void adulation's gotten a lot easier for people to get into just by pure accessibility of information, but so many of them misunderstand it and take it as a path to power. yes, a lot of people in the modern time they already did do it for power, but when you pursure detachment from the world for the purpose of POWER you never get very far. modern voidies have taken to it like a trend and they rarely get darker than 10 black

alieka is like. jeez did i ever quantify it directly?

alieka's probably around the range of 60+ black

especially with her having a differentiated Not that can actually interact with objects in the world but that doesn't destroy them

that's the fun part about void corruption the most powerful peopla re the ones who want the least o do with teh world

alieka is still holding on to the world like sefia's teachings suggested

she has reasons to want to not be deadyet

but it's so much more peaceful Up There than it is Down Here

a lot ofher wants to trade Up There and Down Here for Up Here and Down There

once you get high enough it's a slow slippery process

so few voidies get past 30 black

40 black

you have to actually be really serious about it to get this deep into the void and not back out from terror, or just, completely lose yourself and disappear from the world into nothing

when you become void the void is just the shell

your colors don't really turn black the secret so few understand is they turn white because they combine into a single uniformity that reflects everythingthat contains no information

you become clear and pure and clean and so many people get there and either die in one way or another

so few people are willing ot go that far and embrace it and make that their identity

that's where void beasts come from

oxi and yihiri don't really know this

most people don't, because the people who understand void adulation are the people who DO it

that's why they're trying ot study it after what happened with sefia

because it was always just maligned and ignored or stamped out

or allowed to grow in small self-restraining amounts

there isn't enough information about what happens when someone goes this far in who isn't an actual cultist

sefia's teachings were specically designed to get peple to 50 black and balance it hard and then jump to 100 upon death when necessary

and no one outside of her fanatics really even know what that means

alieka isn't even a sefia fanatic she's something a lot worse

the void is uniform a single clear blank smooth expanse

the terrible secret about void beasts is there aren't multiple void beasts

there's one

alieka wants to become the second coming of sefia in part because sefia is her and everything is sefia because she's in teh void

it's a giant mess

no one knows

they could destroy the world if they aren't careful

it's so dangeorus but it's OS QUIET

When I want it to be quiet I usually just put in ear plugs but it's true that sometimes they fall out especially the foam ones.
