θάνατός ἐστιν ὁκόσα ἐγερθέντες ὁρέομεν, ὁκόσα δὲ εὕδοντες ὕπνος

- Heraclitus

Awakened from sleep, all what we see is death; but sleeping, all what we see is sleep.

ok this is gonna be an unnecessarily esoteric post but idgaf so lets go. izzy's evolution and character development just perfectly reflects the heraclitean concept of γιγνομαι so well and it's making me go feral. for people who aren't as familiar with ancient western philosophy as someone who has studied classics for more than 2/3 of their life, γιγνομαι (transliterated as gignomai), is a concept of αρχη (being, becoming) being fluid and ever-changing. heraclitus illustrates this in fragment #40 (because heraclitus was one of the very first ancient greek philosophers, not much of his work survives) where he says "you cannot step twice into the same river; for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you". obviously this is translated into english, and was probably originally translated from ancient greek into arabic during the golden age of Islam because heraclitus was from ephesus, which is on the west coast of modern day turkey, and so some of the meaning was lost over time. however it still shows an interesting concept when applied to our number one poor little meow meow izzy hands. water is used to clean both physically and metaphorically. as with the river analogy, izzy has been consistently washing away the walls he has put up around himself. he has also been constantly changing throughout the whole show, developing as a person while going through intense experience after experience. this is one of the reasons why ep 6 is so special to me because, like me and all of us, izzy is changing and evolving as a person. ok idk where im going with this lol, esoteric post over lmao.

“The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.”
