And yet you'd be hard-pressed to tell with that guy. He's very chill.Faal Lot Himdah wrote:Charlia wrote:You know, it might seem like it's unfortunate that Luna forgets things so easily, but she's actually better off that way.
I mean, can you imagine what eternity would be like if you remembered everything? After all, if you've got immortality, you'd use it to do what you couldn't do in one lifetime, right? Better yourself, learn everything you can, heck, maybe even try to take over the world if you feel like it. But what happens when you've done all that? When you are the foremost expert on literally everything, when you speak every language fluently, when there's nothing left to do and you still have the rest of eternity ahead of you?
You could have lived for millennia upon millennia but it wouldn't even be a millionth of a percent of your lifetime. Because it would never end. Ever. If you were truly immortal, the rest of the universe could burn around you and you would still be there. Floating in an enormous sea of nothing.
Really, Luna got lucky. I imagine that if she didn't forget things, she'd be far more insane than she is now. Because that up there? That's not even nightmare fuel.
It's worse.
Just add constant struggle with the embodiment of primal order and nothingness itself, watching all those you ever cared for die in front of you and you have pretty much summed up Merlin's struggles
