#baroque 2008

This was my first thought after finishing the game

(and understanding it a bit too lmao took me a while) , what kind of world would he make, would he even succeed? (I mean, can GOD even be replaced by a human? Lots of things backfire in the game, like the interruption of the dabar fusion causing the great heat wave, so this definitely would too in some way.) I mean i think people would go mad in his “perfect” world aswell (thats like the whole point of the game no, you need distortion continue existing.) . How perfect could it possibly be if it’s made from the thoughts of a human. (And let alone a blonde twink with makeshift wings😔)

I say initial because it he tries to do it again with one of the twins in the game using the sephirath, but I was thinking of the time before some of his subjects found out about his dumb ass plan. He was thinking of using the twins ability to purify to make a new world, I mean the time before the twins came into the picture. Not sure if becoming GOD or creating the world anew would let him roam around but I thought It was a cool concept that you must exchange your freedom in order to become the absolute creator and preserver.

I also thought It would be interesting to imagine sort of like his own version of all the bullshit the Absolute GOD in the game has around it. (The infinite amount of pipes[?] and cables.)

Which i interpret were done by the malkuth in the first place, considering they mess with the natural order of things using artificial consciousness orbs and whatnot, so It only makes sense he would also have it. Though it would be a bit different I think. I also think while some of the things the GOD in the game has around it are probably a part of GOD itself, while some are the artificial bullshit malkuth made to make the GOD sick, or whatever they were doing in there….atleast thats how i interpreted it. (Maybe for the archangel, the “aritifical bullshit” would be there to keep him sustained or something like that? Since he is a human becoming GOD, maybe that would work differently.) (sorry i cant stop calling it “bullshit” lol)

And having to pay with his freedom to become GOD kind of parallels his fate in the game. Impaled on a spine, unable to die or roam around, while still having some sort of power (making projections of himself through the orbs/spheres.) Though this time the power would be much greater.

I don’t know if i said anything that contradicts the lore or whatnot going on in the original game (i know the other media from the franchise do a bit of their own thing so I tried to go off the original as much as possible [?]) but the game does leave a lot of holes for interpretation so things like these are interesting to think about to me, and I don’t think theres a really solid canon explanation for everything in the game. Game doesn’t really tell us how everything works so i keep finding myself new holes to fill….maybe im just saying bullshit but does it really matter🤔wouldn’t want my god to be a blonde twink tho

Did I need to write this much? Idk. Took me 15 hours to make so I had a looooot of time to think

And some close-ups, today I learn Tumblr does compress images quite a bit despite using this site for years now. It’s because I don’t think I’ve ever made a drawing this big and detailed. Lol.
