because dark (asher) vs light (halbert) comes to exactly that

dark, ready to erase and rewrite existence for one person he comes to cherish, vs light, ready to stop him not on principle or morality, but purely because he feels he MUST due to destiny

dark, burning a world to save one he loves, against light, fighting for a world he cares nothing for

light only fighting to prove be was meant to save the world, dark ultimately becoming that very threat through trying to save one he can't stand to lose

one of the MTG novels has a pair of ill-fated siblings doomed to fight to the death who were born one year minus one day apart, meaning that every year for one day they're equal

JUST to put their final duel on that day

UGH THAT'S SO GOOD

tbqh ill-fated siblings is what made me so deeply entrenched in Fate/Stay Night

so i get it.... i do....

thinking about the Dark vs Light endgame has revived a lot of feelings... and what's especially interesting are two viewpoints at harsh opposition that are BOTH wrong

it's compelling. tasty

it so is.... I never let them talk but their conversations would be gold mines

I am literally holding a friend hostage running a friend through a dream where their character discovers the trauma of one of the ill-fated twins they care for a lot

Incidentally he knows both but one is a God who is loved by humanity, who he comes to be indifferent toward and then despise. The other is hates by the world but loves humanity more than anything

It's extremely messy because love they have is incomprehensible, but hateful God got a little tired of his sister getting shit when she cares so much so

He blows up the world nbd

Little apocalypse never hurt anyone
