Malo on anon here: do you think the title Dead Cherub relates Calliope to the Dark Carnival? Or perhaps Washington DC out of opposition to English, since Dirk compared the DC's back when he introduced the ICP presidency
‘what if there was an american revolutionary figure to oppose lord english’ has always been a very appealing idea to me, so i’m amused by this one, particularly because the first thing it made me think of was the boston tea party, the Dead Cherub being Death and all…
since the Dead Cherub actually became the black hole that contains the Paradise Planet, according to postcanon, I guess it could be argued that moreso than being connected to it, she actually is the Dark Carnival? I’ve never been able to find any real meaningful distinction between Paradise and the Carnival that takes place on it, but this seems as good an avenue as any to explore in that direction
little detail I was thinking about when I was formulating my response to this ask but forgot to include: it’s funny that the entrance to the new universe is literally through a White House…
