the last fragment of the fabled ice wars: the part no one talks about
who won, and how we won
did both sides win?
the idea that, even if it never happened, we must continuously reinvent the heresy
it blinds us (see cf: snowblinds / snowhispers)
it binds us (just put your hand on frost)
this is the nox-of-vitriol: plunging metal, a giant needle, into the glacier, destroying it to preserve it
how did the thurs get so strong? from carrying ice cores
how did g_ regain his footing? from carrying ice cores
and how did g_ remain from freezing? from learning the name of the wind
this is how we won the ice wars: just use air, it even goes OVER ice
it’s that fucking simple lol
