Also the Elio-Cyrene parallels are driving me insane because wdym their core colors are opposites (black/blue + white/pink)??? Let's not forget the cat and Mem being like... stand-ins for both respectively since their totally romantic and not at all gut wrenching stories started 👍

Mem is most commonly referred to as a puppy too. Which like. Doesnt sound like much, but its literally the ‘opposite’ of the cat that Elio is represented by. Also both having ties to aeons similar in nature?

Plot twist, Elio actually still is the motherfucking cat, just in the same way Cyrene is Mem. NO I NEED TO LET CATLIO GO.

Anyways. The Cyrene-Elio parallels might just be something im hallucinating, but well, it’d be a really fascinating hallucination.

I do generally like to believe that Elio is from a Timeline that he’s basically rejected. I mean, he’s a follower and denier of Finality.

Trailblazer being the Protagonist not because of an aeon or fate, but because they managed to effect someone (Elio) so deeply that he simply chose to deny the ending the universe had in store for them, to change the fate of the universe as a whole just for that one person?

Well… it certainly would fit with the Trailblazer as we know them. They’re capable of reaching people in a way others have never been able to, in a way unique to themselves and themselves alone. Sunday, Dan Heng, Firefly, Phainon, Cyrene, Acheron…

The Trailblazer’s biggest strength has never been their prowess in a fight, but their ability to reach someone at their core, in deeply personal ways.

Even in the abandoned timeline, I doubt that’d be much different. I imagine that most people in that timeline were still fairly similar. Just without the influence of TB.

Hence why it was the bad timeline.

Elio went back to change tbe stories ending, and the Trailblazer’s ending in particular. Because he was someone who was still reached by the Trailblazer.

Ngl. It’s a little bit ORV Inspired imo. (Though, Amphoreus also gave me those vibes with Ampho Edition AE Trio lol)

Cyrene & Elio having parallels in that way as well is so fascinating.

But I dont want to forget the concept of Elio also having parallels with Phainon. Going back through to the start to get it right this time? Doing whatever needs to be done? Their fucking EYES???

Elio is the Trailblazer’s writer, as Cyrene ended up as Phainons, but Trailblazer was also Elio’s reader, as Cyrene was Phainon’s.

It's been about a year since the last one... (characters listed in order top to bottom, left to right)

and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”

If you go without it you feel unwell in a way that you never usually feel unwell. Sweating, tired, sleepy, headaches, irritable, depressed, etc. For example when I was in opium withdrawal I got incredibly depressed in a way that I’ve never been before or since. When you quit caffeine you might get super bad headaches even if you never usually get any headaches.

Thoughts of it regularly bother you and the thoughts go away once you’ve taken it but only temporarily. Unlike with a food craving which usually stays away once you’ve satisfied it or distracted yourself from it.

You find yourself rationalizing with yourself why you should break your own rules about how much you can take and how often. For example you might only let yourself drink alcohol every four days but start thinking that three days is actually close enough to four days, right? Especially if this happens regularly.

You’re using it so often that you feel the need to lie about how much you use because other people might think it’s concerning

If the substance or activity is nearby it’s genuinely difficult to not consume it or participate in it in a way that’s really frustrating.

You feel bad when you’re not on it and your brain tells you “if you just take the thing you wouldn’t feel this way”

You can only feel “whole” or “normal” when you’re on a substance even though it’s a recreational drug
