Of Silence and Sleeping Gods

[] Through Violence
Reasoning: While I would like a gentler god type...the creation of the universe, as pointed out, is indeed not a quiet one. it's full of explosions and things smashing into each other.

Define yourself
-[] Creation
reasoning: well,if you're going to be violent...then it would go hand in hand with opposing creation by being destructive..

Defining the self again the siblings, I would have chosen both to be metaphysical instead of going by form. You become the timeless and the void, in my mind anyways, and its easier for me to understand how it'd work.

and yet!
[] Flickers
why? because while I imagine us to be timeless by going against time's metaphysical stuff...against infinity, flickers look the coolest in my mind and are of course...just, very very brief instances.

Define ourselves against the dreamer? So like...what we look like to the mortal mind? I might like us to be an ever swirling ball of black and white...or Ganesh. Ganesh is always good. Why? Because elephant.

I like the way you think. I hope you stick around. I might have something related to something you've said that might interest you.

Well, a hint, because as a QM I can't mcfucking help myself:

You aren't a kind Balance. You aren't the reliable Equilibrium.

You are the uneasy peace that comes at the end of a sword.
You are the velvet glove that's accepted because the alternative is an iron fist.
You are the prostration before a God you never believed in until now.

And your first act is to define yourself as opposed to The End of Eternity. The End of All-That-Could-Be.

Something to chew on until the next post comes up.

....and I cant help but think of my Eastern Philosophy class and my brain goes "...so we're shiva."

So, there's a problem. I was kinda toying around from different angles with the update previously, but when I sat down to do it properly, just now, I found a discrepancy.

Silence: 6
Violence: 4
*
Eternity/End: 3
Infinity/Flicker: 2
Infinity/Wound: 1
Infinity/Void: 3
Self: 1
*
Pyramids: 1

And even if I include the 'not' vote...

That leaves me with:
Silence: 6
Violence: 5
*
Eternity/End: 3
Infinity/Flicker: 2(3)
Infinity/Wound: 1
Infinity/Void: 3
Self: 1
Creation: (1)
*
Pyramids: 1

Silence would still win.

But then there'd be a tie between The End, Flickers, and Void.

So, there are a couple of ways I can go with this:

1. I flip a coin and see what I get.
2. I use all of the three tied votes.
3. I use a specific combination of the three tied votes.

Up to you guys. Either way, I'm writing today so I can update tonight.
 
maybe you could merge them in different combinations and then roll?
 
Meh...well Shiva is known for the dance of cosmic destruction but normally he toggles between being a hedonist and separating himself from everything a hedonist would want. I don't think its uncommon for gods to be a mishmash, especially the older ones.
