Which is also to say, if you know of any, for the love of god tell me about them
Not exactly what you're after but I am put to mind of small and adjacent examples, i.e. in The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the reader is told again and again that the Bloodguard are supernaturally incorruptible ("We are the Bloodguard: you cannot cast doubt upon us.") People within the world believe this. It is untrue.
Intentional negative space also makes me think of a lot of TTRPG worldbuilding stuff, where answering questions with "No-one knows for sure" or "That has been lost to history" is both efficient and dramatic.
Good post, thank you for the thoughts.
So many intensely relatable lines, and not necessarily where you'd expect? Like, I *also* hate my rare but intensely vivid dreams that I can't shake for a week. Usually when I come across such a thing I'd make it my discord status for a bit... I can only have one discord status, so abandoned the idea after the fifth or so line.
Like ★𝔣𝔞𝔫𝔤★ I'm asexual - skipped through a few fair chunks. I mention this because I still enjoyed the rest immensely.
I could kill Gestirn, with my bare hands. Then someone should resurrect them and get them help. But the killing with bare hands bit would be cathartic af. All this to denote a resounding triumph of characterisation.
Visuals were great too! So good I didn't really notice them, except that they were always good and complimenting the experience.
Overall 10/10, of course.
