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

The Riddle of Steel From Conan
xyzzy
you could just about put this speech in K6BD
xyzzy
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."
xyzzy
the real answer to the riddle of steel, I understand
xyzzy
is that steel and flesh are both weak
xyzzy
steel will crumble, flesh will grow old
xyzzy
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

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