sometimes I think about the Riddle of Steel and god damn what a good villain monologue
Quinneapolis
what is steel compared to the hand that holds it?

The Riddle of Steel From Conan
Quinneapolis
you could just about put this speech in K6BD
Quinneapolis
especially the phrase "Contemplate this on the Tree of Woe."
EsperBot
"Look at the strength of your body; the desire in your heart. I gave you this. Such a waste."
Quinneapolis
the real answer to the riddle of steel, I understand
Quinneapolis
is that steel and flesh are both weak
Quinneapolis
steel will crumble, flesh will grow old
Quinneapolis
the only thing that is truly strong is will
EsperBot
What I like about this scene is
EsperBot
he clearly has no memory of Conan's family
EsperBot
"I guess that's the kind of thing I used to get up to"
EsperBot
big 'it was tuesday' energy

"I was going through a bit of a phase at the time."

I've been trying to incorporate "contemplate this on the Tree of Woe" into my regular vocabulary for years but opportunities to use it aren't that common

: it’s almost more savage than “it was a Tuesday” I think

Bison felt like he was rubbing it in on purpose when he said it was a Tuesday

Conan BBEG just genuinely seems like he couldn’t give a shit about it
