Gentiana Illyria shared a photo. 2/6 near Chata

Time moving forward, need something tangible. I'm moving forward; are you tangible?

Comments

Chloe Bouchard A poetic sentiment.
Chloe Bouchard But is it not said "I think therefore I am?"
Chloe Bouchard Can I truly be tangible for you, if you are only truly tangible for yourself?

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Perception is a tricky thing.
Gentiana Illyria It changes from person to person, forever evolving into something vast and new--
Gentiana Illyria Maybe in my eyes, you aren't tangible but does that change your perception of yourself? It's a complicated thought.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It does not.
Chloe Bouchard I see myself as I see myself, and you are the only judge of yourself.
Chloe Bouchard And, at best, we accept each other's perceptions if they agree.
Chloe Bouchard I suppose that is the question of the last week, yes?

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Yes, it is. It seems that someone tampered with the perception of many last week.
Gentiana Illyria Every horse was a chocobo and every chocobo was a horse.

[true_noir]

Chloe Bouchard It would appear so, yes.
Chloe Bouchard And we are not yet sure who has been tampered with, or if we all have.
Chloe Bouchard It all feels so harmless, but so troubling.

Hitori Togusa Can you ever truly stand alone, or do you only exist in the presence of others? The dichotomy of the Information Age.

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria There's two forms of existence, I believe. One that we comprehend as 'existing' as in being 'alive' and the other being through circumstance.
Gentiana Illyria Everything in the world exists or once existed but does it exist in the presence of others? Maybe not.

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa There's the internal self, the state of mental being that we try to communicate to the world, with varying degrees of accuracy.
Hitori Togusa Then there's the external self, how we interact with each other, and that's the one that everyone else can tell us exists.
Hitori Togusa So how do you rectify the internal with the external?

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Through communication, I believe.
Gentiana Illyria Often do we, as humans, communicate with others but never with ourselves. In order to know thyself, you have to communicate with yourself.
Gentiana Illyria Why else do we search for a means to tap into the depths of our souls through prayer and religion?

[standalonehuman]

Hitori Togusa I, personally, would agree with you. Communication with the self is more important, and that's the personal meaning that I would take out of philosophy, meditation, religion.
Hitori Togusa But it's hard to ignore that there are a great many people who look for external truths through those same methods. To use it as a reflection of the universe, without looking at the reflection of the self, as well.
Hitori Togusa Which is sad, really.

[Ardyn is just as able to wax philosophical with the best of them. In fact, the subject of time — and in tandem, “tangibility” — always tends to spark something in him. Not necessarily distress, but more like a tinge of restlessness in an otherwise very patient man. As for why, he really couldn’t say.

But is he inclined to add to these discussions today? No, of course not. Instead, she gets a:]

Ardyn Izunia I don’t know about you, but I feel very tangible today.

[In fact, his arm and shoulder aches from a chocobo ride gone awry, but… well, let’s not talk about that.]

[glacian]

[Of course here comes Mister Izunia to join or rather 'not join' the conversation properly. She figured sooner or later he'll see her post and she's not at all surprised.]

Gentiana Illyria What makes you say that?

[daemonized]

Ardyn Izunia Let's just say there are days when one is more aware of this awful mortal coil than others.

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria I'm sensing you've tested the limits of your mortality today.

[daemonized]

Ardyn Izunia Not quite that extreme.
Ardyn Izunia I hope I don’t give the impression of a man searching for a quick expiration, after all.

Katsuki Bakugou The fuck are you on?

[glacian]

[....???]

Gentiana Illyria What exactly do you mean?

[boomboombitch]

Katsuki Bakugou You sound like you're on drugs.

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Poetry could be it's own form of narcotic, I suppose.

[boomboombitch]

Katsuki Bakugou What

[ghostories]

Yuuko Kanoe that's a pretty picture!
Yuuko Kanoe the words are pretty too

[ she's read gentiana's works. given their similar circumstances, it's no surprise that yuuko's a fan. ]

Yuuko Kanoe i wonder who's lonelier?
Yuuko Kanoe the one moving forward, or the one they can't touch?
Yuuko Kanoe good evening ms. illyria!

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Greetings, Miss Kanoe.
Gentiana Illyria Maybe it's not a matter of who's lonelier but rather they're both lonely.

[ghostories]

Yuuko Kanoe it's too bad that they both have to be
Yuuko Kanoe if things have to end that way
Yuuko Kanoe i'd rather they never began at all

[glacian]

Gentiana Illyria Existence is crucial though. If they never knew of life, then they would not know of pain or joy.

[ghostories]

Yuuko Kanoe i guess not!

[ But pain is too much, sometimes. ]

Yuuko Kanoe they wouldn't know of love either, right?
Yuuko Kanoe valentine's is near...
Yuuko Kanoe have you ever written about romantic love?
Yuuko Kanoe or thought about it?
