Odd contractions that are annoying me.

COTLOP contractions forces of light and dark

I've not wrote on my COTLOP book project in 2 years...till now, its not much just some thoughts that have been annoying me. forgive the dyslexic word block.




So in my writings on one of my book projects, I have some odd contradictions, the army of light and dark mainly take/recruit/corrupt and change/warp souls/minds of life in existence to fill the ranks of their forces. But it’s less full on mind control and more simple knowledge and experience. The light goes through the most effort to ease souls into an eternity of working in the army of light, which works like a mix of conventional armies with some data/archiving/office themes mixed in ,if they make it through battles we are talking being around for countless eons and millions of years, but the training process for recruits plays out like this the core worlds basically emulate mostly normal/clean city life across existence and they live in the city or barrcks train and have time off to live a bit normally.

As they train for hundreds of years or acouple thousand years the knowledge and experience seeps into their being and they become more cold and logical beings that can handle the burden of duty of fighting in endless time and space, but the system and powers that be never really force absolute conformity, as long as you can do your duty you are allowed to be an individual as many of the more powerful and high ranking members are very.

However the rank and file almost loath individuality amongst their ranks as much of it results in the being/person/soul sent back to creation to be reborn as they cannot complete their training.

The more you get away from the core training worlds the more bland and clinical everything gets,cept for a few people who can keep their own personalities.


On the flip side the army of darkness simply corrupts beings with the touch of the void hive mind which is connected to Darkness himself it basically overloads them with rage and sorrow directed at the “living” and the light. Most turn into simple animalistic creatures who are low grade fodder or plague carriers to spread darkness, up to higher grade fodder and war beast vehicle’s.

Those who can retain intelligence are picked up by the roaming tribes if they are not dumb enough to fight them, the dark uses conflict to refine and strengthen its forces so the tribes and greater armies are always in random conflict with each other, the great generals control these factions and debate things in their grand confederacy meetings. But while many of the tribes and armies have intelligence they tend to be lost in the hive mind they share, those with higher intelligence break down mainly to 2 archetypes those who sorrow for the living and thus wish limit all sorrows by will of the darkness and those who wish to indulge in debauchery, thrills and fighting. The priestess that convey the will of darkness try and keep the dark army focused on strengthening itself as a whole and warning fools to not indulge in chaos as Darkness only hates 2 things the light and tis creations and uncontrolled chaos as Darkness wishes for rest and end to all things, chaos creates and destroys in endless cycles thus the concern. Despite Darkness and its hive mind does not forcibly control anyone, much like the light it gives experience and information and the being that has it will do whatever they can to fulfill their drives and needs which serving darkness is a primary or secondary motive.

Basically the contradiction of forced control but no real direct forced control is a bit annoying, then the old stories of again gods and destiny tend to be as convoluted, where the gods are hands off until they are not.. LOL

Yupper! It makes all sorts of confuse ded gnusense. I cud writ a boat loat of stuffy knowes. A whale of tail around at ill, um? Bout, it all!

 

In me oh, so, I confused am.

The trick to being confused is never not being confused, thats why no one can understand my word soup but the very confused.

 

I suppose if you boil it down neither side likes brain washing and has different ways to train their soldiers/fighters, one takes time to train them and slowly moves them to more and more clinical and cold logic based surroundings lacking in the warmth of humanity. The thing that annoys me is dose it make much sense to waste all that time training them , I mean if they are masters of the mind/soul,ect they could simply upload all needed data. The only thing I can think of its creates a more stable soldier. It's like plot armor or a jump in logic to make things interesting withhold throwing the baby out with the bath water. I mean they also try and emulate "life" to try and not forget they are the army of light and thus the army of life.

 

Army of light=cold logical=takes time to train soldiers in worlds that mirror normal worlds slowly turning them cold and logical this process allows them remain sane across the enos of war.

 

 

The dark side just gathers up what they can, they all go crazy from the madness that infects them the more intelligent ones operate more based off personal desires or a kind of benevolence that shuns cruelty that seeks to end all suffering. Due to the madness they all share the forces of darkness are far more diverse but are also in more conflict with themselves, in theory this allows them to strengthen each other through glorious combat. So when their training cycle is done you wind up with as much fodder as as sane but more powerful soldiers. Another big thing kinda annoys me is they are suppose to hate chaos but some do not, chaos to them is a thing that is unending and always changing, they are created and refined to end everything and return to darkness, so things without end are bad.

 

Army of darkness= chaos like but hate chaos

 

really this is warhammer grade BS why am I overthinking it LOL

 

eh I sit down and do these random writing exercises just to write and they are as confusing as anything else I do LOL Do drugs kids not dyslexia and OCD. LOL

You're starting to get the hang of it. Sanity in the ranks of either side fades over time.

 

Only the family man and woman find sanity in the ranks while the rest of the offspring are sent to the field to plow, sift, seed, and water. Hoe and harvest so all the families tables are never a bunch of empty sets of dishes and cups. WAR is the last resort, and usually doesn't end the problems, it only adds more to them.

 

The God of War's Planet is a testament to that. All you have to do to see what happens if War is the last resort. Look at The God of Wars name: Mars.

Well the armies of light and dark are at the top end of war/conflict of everything in my "multiverses", its not equatable to normal life systems of conflict and more understandable time frames, the army of light seeks to spread life and destroy darkness at any cost, they cut huge swaffs of universes, galaxies, multiverses,ect off so that most life in them will end reducing what darkness can take from them, but doing so expands the void, giving more space/area to the forces of dark to live in and make stuff from(mostly basic matter types).

 

Lightness, the God of creation came from Darkness's most fevered nightmares, light was born from dark and once the old God Darkness figured it out (his a heavy sleeper) s*** hit the fan, Darkness tried to destroy the God of Light but they are equal all that happens when they fight is everything is reset(big bang was the alst time they fought), thus they use armies to fight with so that one can take everything in the end. Darkness can not slumber in peace with all the noise going on,ect. LOL

 

I got most of the logic dealt with just sometimes it seems more silly than it needs to be..but really... I need to leave the overthinking to creating new stuff not worrying about stuff random LOL.

 

And all this is just world building my main character ran from the army of light because they are annoying his OCD dose not work with their perfectionism,ect. So most of the story revolves around random adventures of my MC.

In the shadow of the mind there lies the mysterious author who peers at the Quill pen on the desk. In the ink well there awaits the form of what you equate as light from the paper you are about to write on darkening it with black gold. Words are ink, the mind is a receiver and transmitter and a robot controller.

 

Beep! Beep! Beep! Write on the light side of the paper with your dark penned words.

 

The hu - manoid you quip from needs to get it's arms and fingers to add an anecdote here and there. :laugh: (old school (LOL))
