Yay fireworks?
I haven’t really gotten hold of the lore of Aurora yet, but maybe a big air bubble with everyone inside can transport everyone to the island? Or do lacrimas not work like that?
I think the issue with that would be either 1. the air bubble isn’t solid enough for the people inside to float in it and needs them to paddle to shore or 2. the air bubble is solid enough to float on the surface of the water and hold ppl inside which begets the question of how to navigate the bubble to shore

I could see the air bubble warding off the extra pressure and letting them breathe if they sink to the bottom of the ocean and walk there… but that could go terribly wrong, terribly quickly, if the lacrima runs out of power. So I’m not sure what the rest of Falst’s plan is and am quite curious to find out.
I realize there is almost certainly more to it than this that we just haven’t seen yet but I do find it funny that so far Falst’s plan has basically boiled down to “just ask nicely for the raging fire giant to please stop doing that”. and it’s *working*
falst: please stop exploding the boat, we need that

Hm, there’s no void being transmuted to light in that explosion, so it’s not yet working, is it?
Anyway, speculative lore question: If there is a hypothetical Primordial Desire that the two dragons are subsets of, why wasn’t that needed for forming adamant? Was the other Primordials’ combined will to stop the dragon enough to manifest a little bit of its material into the prison, thereby making it proper adamant?
I think that’s rather indicative of Dainix physically expelling it rather than transmuting it off. Then again, he HAS transmuted some of it back in 2.3.36 but the majority of the void was still physically expelled.
As for your question, adamant’s properties were emergent from the combo of the six primordials. If some other combination of six primordials was made, it wouldn’t be adamant. It doesn’t work quite like a Toa Seal where you’d just need six different elements (and not use Light and Shadow at the same time) to make it. Adamant could only be created by the fusion of these six specific Primordials.
If Void or Light were involved in making adamant, you’d need to control those elements ON TOP of the six to unmake adamant, which isn’t the case.
Hm, I may have read too much into the Dragon’s description of Adamant as “The perfect fusion of six imperfect primordial beings.” Like, it could only be made if all of the “imperfect primordial beings” were part of its creation, for it to be perfect. Like they’re a complete set of primordials.
Hello, just here to clean up yesterdays little controversy
So, when I wrote my little passage I was discussing the whole idea of the Void Dragons endless hunger and how fire is so similar in the way that it burn anything it can to keep going. However, I also added the whole idea of fire as a protector, as a literal guiding light, and how that is a positive outlook. And the last bit was just meant as a joke on how love is a very strong positive emotion and the fact that Falst was literally right there.
Hope that helps to clear things up, and I apologise for throwing cryptic nonsense at you at 5 in the morning Time Traveling Ghost
Merry Christmas to you all and also to the Creator. 🙂
XD you’re good. I was mostly just joking and I don’t mind if cryptic nonsense is thrown in my face (even so early in the morning) and I actually quite enjoy philosophy. I was mostly just responding in fun and also because I was trying to figure out what you meant and suffering a bit with it. Please feel free to continue cryptic nonsense so I may suffer and debate its meaning through the whole day because that’s my definition of fun (regardless of what I may say).
If I remember correctly, the person who built this boat said they accepted that it wasn’t coming back when they loaned it to Erin. Which is good, because it’s not.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! Falst’s expression on this page looks very… unusual for him? Not saying that he doesn’t show many emotions or that this is out of character, but he usually doesn’t show this one. It looks like a kind of pleading concern for Dainix. Hopefully we’ll know on Friday how that explosion (thank you, Red, it was a very nice Christmas gift) went.
Falst looks desperate and… scared? I can imagine him flashing back to his mom, now he has another person he cares for who’s been turned into a monster (ish)
I’ve got a thought. Imagine the sea monster is like, actually just chill and takes floof squad to shore. Like realistically it’ll probably be at least a lil cranky but what if Alinua calms it down and they get a friend? I like to hope
This is fine
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Fires in every boat
But the prettiest sight to see
Is the explosion that will be
On your own ls deathtrap
😀
Very interested to see what Alinua settles on.
Yay fireworks?

Merry Christmas to you too!!!
Pretty sure that was Falst’s original idea for that air bubble wind lacrima
I think the issue with that would be either 1. the air bubble isn’t solid enough for the people inside to float in it and needs them to paddle to shore or 2. the air bubble is solid enough to float on the surface of the water and hold ppl inside which begets the question of how to navigate the bubble to shore

Uwaghhh all of the expressions on this page hurttt
Woop.

Tarren needs to invent life rafts next.
As Falst pleas with Dainix, Alinua thinks
And Dainix explodes on the ship that soon sinks

Well, Battles at the Center of the Mind do tend to be accompanied by friends and loved ones shouting “I know you can do it!” as if it’ll help.
Never underestimate the power of Gay in situations like these. The Dragon certainly won’t if he knows what’s good for him.

I think there is some more glowy white stuff than was there before. I could be wrong though.
Oooohhhh prettyyyy
Also, happy Hanukkah tonight!
Also, happy Ithaca saga!
THOOM is not a good sound. It rhymes with doom.

Happy holidays, Red! Thank you for another amazing year.
Merry Crisis, everyone!
I wonder if the world of Aurora has those giant lilypads that people can stand on…
I love the comic, and as a dragon and fan of artillery, I love getting explosions for Christmas.
Wait you’re a dragon?! 🤩🤩🤩
Merry *looks at smudged ink on hand* crisis, everybody!
Ride the Kraken?
TL;DR: Sorry to interrupt your dialogue, but it’s time for your regularly scheduled explosions.

There once was a floofy crew
Who did not know what to do
To escape from their plight
This dark, stormy night
And resume their journey anew.
Merry Christmas!

Aurora Question #31: What is each member of the floof gang getting for Crustmas?
This Christmas the floof gang got an epiphany and some plotting.
Kendal is getting a nice nap :]
Coal.
Pressure cooker, I mean blast furnace set past 11! Let’s see what this imperfect hunger reduces down to.
Merry Christmas guys
