IMJack posted:an arms race, forever  The book is titled Breaker of Infinities, so this Infinite Jagganoth is likely every iteration of him from previous cycles combining into one glorious final form. It also backs up his feeling of inevitable victory, as every time the cycle begins anew, he gets stronger and stronger.

Hasn't Cio just recently changed out of her handmaid smock by lying an outfit into existence? And I guess Allicio by some definition willed into existence a new outfit to go with her new body. The Clothes Beam has always existed, Alison just hasn't mastered that trick yet.

If he was saving Jagganoth's nameplate for this, what the hell is Jadis going to- ...acceptable. (Though I'd hope for the Rebuild version.) (Also, wild guess; Jagganoth does his "destroy the multiverse and assume it'll come back better" thing in every cycle, and that's the sole reason why Metatron and Zoss have to keep rewinding. It'd fit with the "self-inflicted prison" thing the demiurges tend to have going on.) Quantum Toast fucked around with this message at 00:00 on May 2, 2021 |

I feel like we've collectively been trying to memory hole the fifth arc poster. Shouldn't we be theorizing from that? How does Jadis get out of her ice block? Why does she have a shadow doppelganger? What's Gog all grumpy about? What made Allison lose an eye and an arm? Grouchio fucked around with this message at 23:28 on May 1, 2021 |

I'm going to go with "Jagannoth going sicko mode and Aspected Chaos trying to do something about it" Alternatively, the eye and arm have nothing to do with this encounter, and it's the result of a training montage from hell overseen by *checks notes* Jadis and Maya.

It does account for the hole in Jagganoth's plan of how exactly he thinks he will get around the universe rewinding (he doesn't, he makes this mistake every time.) It also dovetails neatly with a lot of the comic's themes: Zoss has been spending countless cycles trying to find a bigger badass to save the world through violence but there is always a bigger badass and more violence. You cannot break the cycle of violence through applying more violence. So now he's trying something different.

So now he's trying something different. that's my sense too. jagganoth is bearer of the word Blade, a man subsumed by the sword and literally born of the Cut. of all creatures on the Wheel, he's the truest embodiment and representation of sword law, which makes him an unparalleled idiot it'd also firmly put jadis on allison's side, because as long as jaggs keeps making the wheel turn it's impossible for her to die

That running away from your power because you can't find a way to use it for change doesn't actually help you or anyone else. Also that you can use a hairpin to cut angels.

Brought To You By posted:Pretty sure in White chain's recounting of the First Conquest, Zoss is wearing just a robe but is clearly flesh and robed with a wooden arm visible. And you will note that throughout the story when he appears to Allison, he has gone from having a wooden arm to having a wooden body because now everything except his head is a prosthetic.

I'm kind of in two minds about that theory, because on the one hand a full body prosthetic is a fuckin sick-rear end concept and just rules on its face, but on the other it sort of undermines the coolness of Zoss continuing to run around doing things after being killed because it provides a very mechanical explanation for how that's possible, ie that having his head cut off by 6JS was a mere inconvenience because said head was already detached from his original body. On the third hand (I don't know how many hands I have but more than two is perfectly appropriate for this setting) the new information we have about the wheel being stuck in a relatively straightforward time loop* which Zoss stands somewhat outside of in that he retains knowledge of it maybe takes it back to the first position where Zoss' physical condition is kind of irrelevant to him being able to show up wherever and whenever he wants, and the idea of him not having a body becomes just a cool detail again? idk *as opposed the more Wheel Of Time-esque grand thematic loop where the broad strokes of history repeat themselves in abstract but the specifics change every time, which is what I thought we were dealing with before because that's also the kind of loop suggested by the Indian mythology this story draws from
