Sune's Solution (D&D/MGE)

[X] [Illias]

Call it morbid curiosity but Illias was actually engaging for a bit, interestes in what she may have to say, even if it might not immediately help
 
[X] [Illias]

Here's the thing: I think, she thinks, she gets it, and on some level she absolutely does. In that moment, Illias absolutely saw herself in Bearen. An idealized version that didn't fuck up in the major ways she has, but still. She saw the parts that were sure she couldn't stop doing what she was doing, because she was the only one that had the power to do the things she could. With how she's been drinking herself to death in a place that absolutely won't let her die, feeling cut off, maybe out of place? She's feeling that dark part of Bearen, and seeing it externalized like this, something she definitely feels? Yeah, that promps some self-reflection whether she knows it or not.

So it'll be super interesting to see what she does with it in this heated moment. Because as much as she's probably angry that such a force for good thinks so little of himself, it probably also scares her. I read some fear off of this. And that's the question. Is she afraid of what Bearen might turn into, or is she afraid she's already too much like him? I think seeing that will be good for Bearen. Not in the mental health sense, but in seeing where this path will inevitably lead.

My hope is seeing each other on similar paths will help both pull themselves off it.

Ilias's deal is that she absolutely destroyed everything she valued personally in the name of her convictions(and in various stupid schemes to get it back). Evil convictions, yeah, but ultimately Ilias very much sees her drive to genocide monsters as morally equivalent to Baeran's commitment to protecting people. I wouldn't put it as reflection on her part, just that she can't live in denial after the MGQ ending. She killed her daughter, her remaining family hate her(well except Eden, but Ilias thinks basically nothing of Eden), all the people of the world hate her, and she can't do anything about this. That's probably why she's suicidal.

Of course, Ilias also might lash out in any number of ways, or start plotting something to any number of evil ends. Or latch onto him as surrogate Luka/Lucifina, which might be in some ways worse.

Well, Jergal managed to become a kindly grandpa figure despite being the god of tyranny, murder and death at one point, might as well see if we can get this one on a better path.

Well, she's not isolated by the power she had as god. OTOH... having Luka who doesn't hate her there probably made her a lot more stable in Paradox. Though Alice route Ilias is recovering as well.

This really seems like a Fuyao moment in so many ways; she's gotta have so much going through her head right now what with him saying he can't feel love anymore, except he does love her, except he only loves her in one way. Shit, that's a lot to sort through. Poor woman.

I find myself sufficiently convinced by the arguments for Illias, however, and I can picture her pulling a surprise interrupt, so okay then.
 
For those who want it I threw the relationship tracker into a zalgo remover.
Fuyao : ❤️

Much like I told another user. It's deliberately gibberish as I knew people would run to a remover. It's unchanged from last tracker deliberately.

Illias it's your time.

I expect she more than anyone will see why this is a stupid. Horrid. Self destructive path.

And more than that she would completely agree with and understand his reasons for doing so.

Perhaps she can put a hero on the right path this time?
