no i am not over how one of the first things kris does of their own accord without our input is to lay down their life for this weird ipad kid they met five hours ago no i am not over "hell yeah i am here to humiliate you fucker" no i am not over "did you miss me? because i missed you!" no i am not over how much not only susie but also kris (and ralsei) genuinely care about their new adopted little cousin guy and the fact that he went from having no friends at all to 3 ride or die bffs who were willing to do what every adult in his life failed to do which is stand up for him i-

one hokma line that always really stuck w me was "when i no longer feared the impending night, i chose to love this place" theres just something so poignant about it. at first i was wondering what day he meant but now i realise he's most definitely talking about how he has to die every reset. and he said he used to fear it too. how could he not? he was most loyal to a, but now he's the last one running away from him. he couldn't stand being a part of his self-destructive plan anymore. and feared in past tense implied he always knew it was coming with each reset. this went on for... thousands of years
with how he keeps his memories for every one of them, sometimes i wonder how he reacts to angela. do you think he quickly got used to it and just sat there waiting for her? pre-suppression its pretty clear that hokma has resigned himself to this and is completely fine doing it over and over again. he chose to love that place because it was the only thing he could really do. its what his mentor wanted and when has he ever gone against that?

okay but the way it would fuck up nix if he realized/gave it any thought too?
realizing he is the test subject of trying to figure out how to tweak, maybe how to stitch the ones that got fully decommissioned together and all that (and d.ominion specifically nix gets the bonus of 'lower angels or fully unraveled angels which do you think is more fucked up')
just- nix recognizing the purposes to his existence he elects to ignore/usually scrapes his way out of fulfilling in general

is that 40 watchers left just in the colony grian came from or 40 watchers left in that particular corner of the universe, because one of those is endangered species territory and the other is small village trying to grow their numbers territory
There are only about 40 Watchers total in this corner of the universe-- the colony that Grian came from is the only one left in these parts, because the apex predator that preyed on them was so voracious about it that they nearly hunted them all to extinction. This is the reason Watchers are so biologically geared toward keeping an eye on everything and can "see" through the Greater Code-- it became essential to find out where potential predators were before they got close enough to attack, and by constant vigilance and fleeing before they could be found, they ended up starving their own predators into extinction instead (but not without some really heavy losses first)
That's why this Watcher colony is experimenting with supplementing their numbers via Players and modified larvae. They grow quicker than a normal Watcher, and already have all their prior memories as Players when they emerge as juveniles, and therefore need less teaching. Although as you can see from the entire au, this definitely comes with its own issues fjdjsndjjd
