#song?

Anyways, today I was listening to a song that had the words "olen surullinen", or "I am sad" in English. I noted how the Finnish version is much longer than the English one, that "sad" translates to "surullinen", a much longer word.

Then I that rabbit hole of a thought went a bit further, and I realized that the the Finnish word for "sadness" is much shorter, "suru", even though it is longer in English.

A nice enough thought on its own, but the hole goes deeper. I went on to think about why this is, and realized that in English, the adjective "sad" is the base form from which the language derives the other forms. In Finnish though, the base form is "sadness", which basically is the essence of being sad, the noun, from which the language gets the other words. And from this perspective of having the noun be the base form, being sad could be interpeted as having the essence of being sad. Thats what the "-llinen" ending in "surullinen" (the adjective, the feeling) means, having something or similar.

i mean its very obvious isn't "kind" in the typical sense. from the beginning he has made no effort to hide how little regard he has for life. he has an unknown kill count but its easy to assume its more than enough to count him a serial killer.

the only reason many people forget that fact is because the story is told with doc as the listener and its very obvious that hush has become very attached to doc.

hush is well spoken and quiet and poetic and polite in certain terms of the word. but he is also cruel and goal driven to the extremes.

he only showed regret killing once and it was with vega and then even than it was only because of how ancient vega is. he's been confirmed to be the second ever formed demon and that was the only reason hush panicked after killing him. even before that he initially thought it was aligned with his purpose.

he's made it clear if necessary he would even kill avior, who he (also) has made clear that he cares about very much.

hush is super complex and i really do love it and i hate when people reduce him only to

a. clueless and bumbling

or

b. scary and murderous

because the interesting thing about him is that there is a healthy (or unhealthy!) combination of both. yes he has little regard for most things and is shown to be cruel if he thinks its required, but he is also shown to not understand even basic human things such as hugs or kisses!

his knowledge is very limited but very vast in other regards.
