 #4 MY THOUGHTS:

Now what did I think of that very ending?Well, my first thought was "What about Damien?" 

I mean, I did feel a little better, and I was very happy for them, but seriously, what about Damien?

I did n't really have a preference, I mean, you can't exactly go Team Damien vs Team Elijah like they're some effing football teams. It just does n't sit right. Also, they're both pretty awesome. And they're both an integral part of her story. Different stages, but still a integral part.

You know how each single moment in life, is like its own personal gif?

Only, that doesn't quite explain it. Its not like a continual repetition of the same event, with no room for any intervention but "FATE",

Rather, it like each moment is a being in itself.

On some plane, somewhere,that moment is just taking place. While on another, the outcome is apparent. But of course theres coincidences, and trip ups and wrong choices to take into account. 

Take for instance, 

This is so true. Its like we're shooting a scene. All scenes will not be shot in chronological order and yet, that particular scene is a part of the story. It has its place. Yet it is a separate scene in itself. 

Its a both equally horrifying and comforting phenomena. (Though really,Its just theoretical.)

Since we're on the topic, I've been contemplating something, a particular quote I came across while doing this "mental age test" Its accuracy is dubious, and being mentally 36 is a good or bad thing? Anyway, getting on track, it said:

"All reality is a phantom, And all Phantoms are real"

This oxymoron is initially quite baffling.

But as I was reading BN, I realised, its quite simple really. Phantom,as the thesaurus would explain means:  ghost, apparition, spirit, spectre, wraith,shadow; figment of the imagination, delusion, hallucination, illusion, chimera, vision, fantasy,mirage; rare phantasm. Taking "Illusion" for instance.

All this while in Insanity,everything has already come to pass and yet it has n't really happened until Adelaide accepts it. So what is "reality" really?

Are things only real if you can touch, feel, smell? Well Adelaide could. 

What really constitutes of something real? Of a occurrence?Because everything we see, is from our minds eye. It might be illusion to us, but it was n't always. It was n't a illusion then, and now that we know it was, does n't mean the illusion it self did n't exist. It did, just not in the way we thought.

Anyway, so I came to the conclusion that Damien probably ended up with the Martyrdom. And Elijah and Addy in the land of True Loves. I mean, what do we know of the afterlife? Tentative Theories aside.
Anyway, thats that. My first review COMPLETE!
