A bit of thematic symbolism about the Fatui’s rebellion against the Heavenly Principles
Just wanted to share a couple little things I realised
So the out-of-universe ‘theme’ of Cryo, as we’ve probably mostly figured out by now, is self-contradiction, while the Heavenly Principles is the god of Reason
How perfect is it that the nation of Cryo is leading the rebellion against the HP, when irony and contradiction is literally about screwing with logic and reason
And the second point, we know how Pierro named his title and the organisation ‘Fatui’ meaning ‘fools’ to mock the absurdity of the HP, the world and the other Khaenriahn mages, but I have just realised it’s even more direct than that, because Foolishness is the opposite of Reason, our name directly counters and opposes the very attribute that the Heavenly Principles represents
