The servers are the seven chaos

[prismaticbleed]

 

"Chaos is power.

Power is enriched by the heart.

The controller is the one who unifies the chaos."



Do you remember that?
Yes, it's the 3000-year-old poem from Sonic Adventure. I've always loved it, and I've been thinking about it quite a lot recently, as my Chaos Zero links have been at a fever pitch for the past week or so. I don't mind!

Hm. This may seem completely insane and random, but I want to get a tattoo of that one day. I'm not kidding.
I know, I know. I don't mind when others have tattoos, but I was never the sort to consider getting one. I'm honestly surprised that the idea came to me and I thought, "sure, why not?"
But seriously. If anyone is going to walk around with those words on them, it had better be me, haha.

I found a rather unique and thought-provoking translation of that poem today.

"That which is done is Chaos seven-fold
Chaos is power, and power is the heart which drives it.
That which subdues is that which controls Chaos."

Isn't that odd? I find it very interesting how it was translated in such a way. Huh.
I especially like the second line.

For heaven's sakes, if they can give Sonic a relationship with Elise, they can give Chaos Zero a relationship with me. I'm not kidding.
(And don't you DARE pull an Iblis on us and erase it from the canon or I swear I will punch you until you explode)


Anyway.
As you might have expected, I've been doing a ton of review research on Chaos Zero and his history and all that... I was lucky and found the original Japanese plot translations, so that really helped.
I was relieved to find that I already knew mostly everything and correctly assumed most of the new info, but there were a few bits of information here and there that I didn't know (not about Chaos, of course, but about the events and people surrounding him) so that's really interesting me.

Plus I found this amazing blog post where this guy is forming theories that link Chaos Zero, Emerl, the Babylonians, and heaven knows who else together and it actually makes a ton of sense. I'll see what I can make of it and whether or not I can expand on it.


Do you remember the third time Robotnik went after Chaos? Well, of course not, I never even told you about the second time!
See, that's what gets me upset. So much has happened to me between 1998 and 2008 (non-canonically of course, but it's still important) that no one else knows about. I have to start talking.
December 23rd is my current deadline and/or 'time to turn this fandom upside-down' date. It's the original Japanese release date for Sonic Adventure, you know. 10 years.
I have no idea how it happened, but you have to admit that my timing is perfect, haha.

Hmmm.
Well, I have to get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning, so I need to get my sleep.
I flipped through my dream journal today, and it's surprising how often Chaos Zero shows up in comparison to everyone else. I hope he stops by to say hello tonight. I miss him terribly in that respect.
Oh, and I've been getting a lot better at drawing him, thank God! I'll upload some of them to dA tomorrow afternoon if I can, since I finally fixed the scanner. Look forward!

In any case, though... have a good night.


...And this is for you, Chaos, in return for all those times it was for me. I love you.





The tomorrow we hoped for is right ahead of us;
in the back of our minds, anyone would have realized that.
Someday I really want to show you these clear days,
where the weapons of conflict have all disappeared.
Even though this is a hopeless world where we can't seem to stop hurting each other,
just from having met you now I'm not afraid of anything.

I don't care how much my body is burnt, if it's for you.
We'll soar into the bright white open sky; I'll protect you.

Even if we were separated by a thousand miles, these memories will connect us.
Even if we should be fooled by the cruel tricks of fate, it won't break us.

I don't care how much my body is burnt, if it's for you.
I wish that someday I could see with my own two eyes our world born again.
