Loric

Isn’t there some part of the mythology about pheonixes that is basically along the lines of the more shit their life is before they go through nirvanic rebirth, the more powerful they are once reborn? Seems like a good connection on how to fit the depression with the pheonix and nirvanic rebirth is sort of like a universe starting big bang which is similar in metaphor to moments of inspiration and epiphany. You probably have your own ideas on where you wanted to go with his image obviously but just thought i’d point out a possible way to combine all three of them :)

Believe he had something in mind already being outlined. All it takes is to wait for a moment of reveal.

First thing to say thanks for the chapter man. With ignition essence if puddle doesn't do something related to phoenixes as you said Loric I would lean more to the chance of him turning ignition essence into more like the bridge between life and death, that final step. Yggdrasil is live in its prime and most powerful while the Grim Chimera is nearing its end and uses every thing it can to survive then Ignition Essence could be that final end to everything but what creates life and spurs it to struggle against it

I almost totally agree with this; however, Grim Chimera is more akin to a perpetual beginner's mindset that's focused on survival rather than flourishing life (Yggdrasil). It would probably be easier to digest the analogy that Yggdrasil represents the overarching theme of "as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be". Grim Chimera being the ever shifting present that can only be intuited (Grim Intuition). Finally, a bridging image that uses the past and present to project a trajectory onto Fate (signposts) a bit like using Philosopher's key and Dreamcatcher. (Philosophy is the culmination of human history). Soz for no spaces, typing on phone.

you might want to rewrite this: he didn’t want the System with too much influence on up his thought processes
