Our current options appear to be:
And that's still contrived as fuck.
Not now, later. He asked about medium-term plans.
And I still don't see your point. Just because something is contrived doesn't make it bad. Just planned.
My plan is 'screw wishing'. That's it. The rest is blank. Literally, if we had a choice between wishing or dying, I'd go for death. It'd even be in character.
I'll be honest, even if I weren't in favor of wishing this would sound like a shit plan.
Attack us directly? no. Do everything possible to pressure us into a situation where we either A) wish, or B) awaken mana? Yes.
When planning for the future? yeah, it kinda is.
It's entirely possible for us to make a wish that nets us a permanently griefless soul gem. That's canon.
I'm sorry did you just say it's a bad thing to plan ahead when planning for the future?
Tart Magica, which is canon, has a villain who literally cannot accumulate grief in her gem. it's expunged the instant it's generated.
It does, however, prove such a thing is possible, without turning oneself into a metaphysical concept. Which means we could do it ourselves if we wish properly.
Isn't "keep living, no matter what it takes" also green? It's one of the most fundamental instincts around.
I just realized that your message number is a digit larger than mine, despite only being on here twice as long as me. Wow.
Die, or have your soul filled with literal evil and then probably die anyway, or turn into a horrible demonic monstrosity otherwise?
Not really. The strong triumph and the weak fall. Unnaturally advantages such as Magical Girls powers which create that Unnatural Junk is to be hated. If someone were to use it to win then they aren't truly strong. It's artificial.
Can't die when your soul is indestructible.
Alright, noted. Color theory isn't my strong-suit.
The quick and dirty rule of thumb is Green is Druid Magic and hates Wizards, Stagnation and Artificial things. Which ofttimes is created by Wizards. There's more to it than that but it's a good rule of thumb.
You're focusing on the wrong thing here.
So you can only become a horrific demonic monstrosity doomed to wander the earth and commit evil acts for the rest of time. *claps*
Not if you're not a goddamned idiot who refuses to cleanse their fucking gem like someone with an actual functioning mind.
Only after Wishing, because then it would be the only thing that could "kill" us.
By using the artifacts of horrific evil? Riiiiiiiiiiight.
And what part of 'It will come after us more consistently and effectively than literally every other threat against our life combined' did you miss?
They only feel evil because they suck all the nastybad out of us.
You say that like an infinite number of things with one bullet is better than one thing with infinite bullets. Especially when we can straight up dodge everything from the a thing once we know it well enough.
We're not a planeswalker. Unless I missed something major, that goal is flat out beyond our grasp without is wish, and likely is even if we do wish.
That... might actually be possible, with both green and black working on it. Might need some blue, but I could definitely see it.
Likely possibility is we vent it into the atmosphere. Atmospheric grief becomes wraiths in sufficient quantities.
