now I gather this makes me weird I suspect but I don't think I watch/read/play speculative fiction like most people mainly I think people ascribe too much direct allegory to things taking place in demonstrably, characteristically in fact, not playing by the rules of the world you exist in, morally

because look all manners of horrors are technically technically? like, technically for real technically perfectly reasonable if magic is real if the gods are manifest then literally all bets are off on human morality re: violence and death if we experience magic and gods. different ballgame.

the point being that it makes the "burn it all down to start again, because the rules for us here and here sucks dick and we know that there's something more out there beyond the wall of fire so who's to say that this place is even all that chill? bring the logs, get the torches, let's do this"...

...a lot easier to write as the moral and ultimately correct choice in a world of absolute systemic ruin that also happens to be inhabited by dragons and space-time altering entities so yeah fuck it babygirl let's invent motorcycles "war crimes? says who?"
