I think ultimately that’s the theme of Zenith’s part of the story. We don’t have to understand Zenith’s choice. Maybe we can’t. But even so, we all have the right to reshape ourselves. Maybe we have a responsibility to.

I remember Alta saying something like “but of everything to turn into, why them!?” But Zenith makes it clear that this is not “conformity” nor is metamorphosis being forced upon it. To live is to change, and this is truly what Zenith wants.

On the other hand, I can see Alta’s perspective just as well. Even beyond losing a potential solution to my “problem,” Zenith is so magnificent, so singularly itself that it seems an abject tragedy to reduce it to something as monstrously worthless as a businessman.

Will this new form calcify forever? Will the universe be lesser with my previous self’s absence? I am too consumed by my love for what I am becoming to care. Perhaps this will be just another form in a long line, and perhaps this will be what I was always meant to be.

I can so easily imagine myself in Zenith’s place, fascinated with how explodingly beautiful a random inane part of the universe is. Flowing as I am, my interest itself molds me into the object of my interest. I am at once losing myself entirely and finding myself.

Is it tragic? Is it liberating? Is it beautiful? Is it horrifying? On one hand it’s an infinite being crushing itself into the shell of the worst thing in the universe. On the other it’s a metamorphosis it undergoes eagerly into a self it loves.

I was at gamestop with friends the other day and saw a 1,000 piece hatsune miku puzzle and now I say “Miku Puzzle” every half hour or so

True!

I think UNBEATABLE is messy in the way a good local band is messy. Some things are too fast, sometimes you wonder why a decision was made but god damnit does it have heart. It is doing something SO special and seeing it in it's element makes youfeel electric.

Surprisingly quite a challenge to narrow it down. I like a lot of games and my group is always trying new ones.

in no particular order
1. The Binding of Isaac Four Souls
2. Quacks of Quedlinburg
3. Slay the Spire: The Board Game
4. Splendor
5. Monikers
6. Fantasy Realms
7. Smallworld
8. Libertalia
9. Bohnanza
10. Blood on the Clocktower

Valid point and a good addition. I’m still planning on watching season 2, so I’m crossing my fingers for things to improve.

In a way it’s unfortunate that my standards are getting higher as I’m getting older, I really wanted to love this show but there kept being moments where I was like “that’s weird why did that happen” and the answer was misogyny. I really am the one friend that’s too woke. Still a 7/10
