Interesting Question Regarding Voidsent.....

[anhaato]

'Derangement about the Ancients', starting off on a great foot. You should be able to notice pretty quickly on a re-read that I wasn't the first person to mention them by any means.

So what do you think their plan was for the Thirteenth?

The issue isn't what I think their plan was; we don't have enough information for what restoration of the thirteenth entails, other than a need to rebalance the aether somehow. We don't know if 13/14 rejoined Zodiark is powerful enough to do that, and because we don't know any of this, I won't go so far as to make assumptions as to what their plan was. What you were doing was essentially, "Ugh, I just know those sacks of shit were going to sacrifice more lives to fix the thirteenth!" It's your confirmation bias in action; knowing that Zodiark required potent sources of aether past that of typical crystals in order to maintain essentially an aether barrier which propelled the ancients to offer up their own bodily aether in absence of any better sources, and that they later needed more aether sources to reembody the souls within him, you assume that this is required for every action he could possibly take because it supports your image of the ascians/ancients in general as cultists feeding their blood god. You got rightfully called out for stating a confirmation bias headcanon as fact without any evidence to actually back it up. Trying to say "well what do YEW think they were gonna do, huh!?" is trying to posit yourself as right, again, without evidence, by deflecting instead and implying that the assumption is that you're correct unless someone can be "more correct" in their headcanon. How about we try discussing facts here instead?
