The Blind God for Morimen was always interesting to me. They're not exactly evil. It's just that. Their percent alone is too much for the World to withstand. We never really know what they're thinking. Or if they're thinking at all.
But whatever it is, they must want to exist in this dream of theirs. So like Doll said, They held their breath, and carefully, leaned in close.
There are many media about Gods wishing to walk among mortals, and about how they put away their godly power and disguise as mortals. Or even incarnate as one.
But Morimen put a different spin on it. Gods still Walk amongst mortals. Putting away most of their godly power. But it's either still being too strong, not understanding mortals at all, or bringing unspeakable disasters just by them being here. It's interesting.
The Blind God in Morimens has been one of the few times I've been "oh yeah this is what cosmic horror is" and sincerely impressed by it.
Because most of the time when people try to showcase cosmic horror (including writers like Lovecraft, who can be argued made that a thing as a popular trope), I'm tilting my head and going "really? that makes people go crazy?"
Like I know it's supposed be beyond human understanding and the author is just trying to put it in terms that humans can understand and yada yada. But I don't really believe in knowing something being enough to drive someone crazy.
Because the Blind God makes sense for why knowing of them, seeing them would drive you crazy. The comparison of ant and human is made, of course, like it usually is in these things. But those are never strong enough for me, because an ant and a human are still on the same plane of existence. An ant just sees a human as a bigger threat, that's all. Not a threat to its awareness.
It's the dreamer and the dream that gets me! People are so bad with dealing with temporariness, the idea that your existence is a dream would drive most utterly mad! The Keeper can alone stand against the Blind God because they are the dreamer too! But the dreamer in the dream, and that's enough to shift an entire experience.
On the note of gods walking among mortals on Morimens and being shit at it, I'll say that what happened in Arc 2, Chapter 4, nails that for me.
Because why would a being that experiences time differently understand that the gift focused on time it handed out would screw up their followers so badly?
But it's all good in general, how Morimens does it.
