Ragey thoughts:

1. Gamzee’s role in the first half of Act 6 sneaking around the dream bubbles picking up important items is the logical next step up from plucking ideas from the void
2. Presumably taking ideas floating through the void also plays into Gamzee as a Bard, the archetype of the Hero who is “inspired” - can we elaborate outwards from that for Kurloz and Cronus somehow?
3. It occurred to me yesterday that since Caliborn’s “masterpiece” is essentially him describing the moment he confines ideas into flesh (represented by trapping the Heroes in his juju), the fact that all the figures in the story are made of clay is probably deliberately to evoke the image of creation myth. So long as we’re thinking of Rage and Hope as aspects of sealing and releasing, then, should we also be thinking of them as the Hope and Despair in the story of Pandora’s box? Hey, Jake’s favourite movie is even about a trip to the planet Pandora!
