my friend's favorite character is v2 and they are deeply in love with sisyphus, i immediately had to send him your beautiful art, PLEASE give us more of your thoughts
sorry for the pause I had to get my thoughts in order!
but like, its the core tenants of both of them. sisyphus LOVED his people, and hated heaven just as much. his whole deal is the uprising and rebellion.
meanwhile, you have v2. who was made by humans, to protect humans. and then swiftly abandoned and thrown into hell.
something about the inference that v2 probably had no freedom or independence under humanities watch, and is suddenly wrapped up in the self destructive attempt at creating an identity based solely around being BETTER THAN V1. (an impossible task that can and does kill them)
and then sisyphus, who literally is a living symbol of rebellion and rebirth in spite of a system. he is the living embodiment of perserverance. I mean just look at the like second line of his terminal entry "Such values mattered little to Sisyphus, who would gladly lie, cheat or kill if that's what is needed to protect his comrades."
v2 was made to protect others but seems to be completely incapable of protecting themself. meanwhile sisyphus was intended to suffer, and instead pushed passed all barriers to better the world for those around him. (even if it didn't work)
I just. dude I wanna see how he influences v2. so badly. the two of them would be TERRIFYING together. in the best of ways.
