Allison Stares Into the Abyss, and the Abyss Flinches
This focus on Allison's eye and the stark black void has been sticking with me and has made me think of Jadis and her own void iconography. That, combined with Allison's conversation with Gog about how everything is already determined, how she's tried this a billion times, and how ultimately it's all pointless, feels like a deliberate parallel to her conversation with Jadis.
Jadis makes essentially the same argument. She tells Allison that she doesn't need to keep fighting because everything is predetermined and the end is already locked in. Gog approaches it from a slightly different angle, but arrives at the similar idea: if the outcome is already set, then why bother trying?
And Allison's response to both of them is basically the same: so what?
She refuses to accept that inevitability gives her a reason to stop. If everything really is pointless, then why not try anyway? Nobody gets to tell her what she can or cannot do, "not them, not god, not fate, not predestiny"
I can't help but feel like there's a connection here, especially given how similar the arguments are. So many of the demiurge eventually surrender to this kind of nihilism, resignation, and sense of cosmic pointlessness.
Allison, meanwhile, represents the opposite philosophy. She doesn't necessarily prove that the universe has meaning, she simply refuses to accept that the absence of meaning means she should stop acting.
She is true Royalty
