Keep thinking to myself… should I have made a “Catholic Hell” location tag? Eh!
“Let’s deal,” Meighan says while in Discount Hell and speaking to a devil-worshiper, without irony.
In more stories than I can count, the misfit underdog who’s desperate to prove themself finally gets a chance to do so and doesn’t waste it, leading to their redemption in the eyes of others, and ultimately in their own. That’s clearly how Meighan wants this to go.(And yeah, there is a parallel with Dina there.)Mist’s request for “knowledge” gives him what I hope registers as a Faustian vibe. Faustian deals never end well for the Faust, but some Fausts can live a long time and do a lot of harm to others before their bill comes due.

Mist continues to confuse me. How can a being with his level of power be lacking in knowledge?
“I want to see what will happen if I put sixteen kids in a school together and tell them they can’t leave unless they murder someone else AND get the others to believe someone else did it!”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’d watch that Breakfast Club reimagining.
Dangan Ronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
I really need to finish playing that game.
He’s omnipotent, not omniscient.
Sign on God’s workshop wall: “Omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent. Pick two.”
If acquiring knowledge effortlessly without involving others is not a thing you can do, you’re not omnipotent.
I dunno about Mist. He seems pretty disheveled and scruffy. I would have thought someone of his archetype would be more faustidious.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Took me a few seconds to get that. And I second insomniac, Booo.
“Just how much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? You may not realise it but this is one of the great profound mysteries of the universe; beings far mightier than even I have pondered over that one for aeons!”
Even a greater mystery than the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything? It took a planet size computer a very long time to answer that one.
Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood it could be that a woodchuck wouldn’t chuck wood. Why should it? But if a woodchuck could chuck wood and a woodchuck would chuck wood then a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
“You’d be surprised at just how many things you can be released from.”
