Employing again "abstract thoughts I am having about different works from Eve" I really enjoy Columbia also as a comparative character. Not to be misconstrued whatsoever for Mythos supremacy or anything (I just hate ragging on it as if it's somehow the only good thing from the channel) but how she's her own panning-out of a totally different take on the "allegory of Freedom" character without being derivative of the Mythos. I struggle though to think of how or what art I could make about this. Or, plainly, if there is an audience for it since I don't know who is up to discuss this. I'd write fic more if I knew anyone would read it.

But I think her own personal struggles and finding her purpose could hold up a nice mirror to the horror of the original Freedom in any fan exploration. Not in some hokey or boring way where they meet, I mean purely in comparing in your mind the very different lives they lived. How even Columbia having the ability to experience her own autonomy, having her own personality is so different. Any sort of scenario that could arise in her story where she feels her own freedom threatened, or she feels forced to defend herself, an ominous echo in her life where she comes away mortified to imagine what it would be like to live under some sort of personal oppression. How other allegorical or mythological figures in her world spend their entire immortal lives under punishment, how her psyche would be destroyed if it was her in their shoes instead. There's a dramatic irony to it, in that I'd like to think Freedom could have been the person Columbia is had she not been trapped with the Crawfords in a living psychological torture prison. (I mean. Statue. But let's be forward about how much it sucks in there.)
