hey what’s your opinion on the Aeons having kids? Like Demi-Aeons. I’ve recently created this Demi-aeon AU in my head due to my Greek Mythology and Percy Jackson fixation.
Also just another question what powers do you think the kids would have and how would the Aeons produce their kids? I like to think that they asexually have their kids. (Ex: In my AU Nous would scattered some “codes” that would end up in some random bot or Akivili blessing stars they like that would physically form into their children, sorry if those ideas are boring)
I think it's an interesting concept. For your first question I’m a bit conflicted because even though I find it interesting, I also feel that if Aeons would have children like direct descendants it makes them more tangible, almost more human which I'm not the biggest fan of simply because I love how Aeons are so alien, they're gods that are beyond the idea of a god. On the other hand there were Aeons who technically had children like Tayzzyronth but for them it was part of what they were about. Tayzzyronth never wanted to be alone ever again so propagation was born and so also the swarm. And in a way they are one of the most human out of all the Aeons in my opinion. I think for me it would come down to why would an Aeon decide to have children? For example in my mind an Aeon like Lan, Nanook or IX wouldn't really make sense to have kids, because their concepts are about either control, destruction or the inevitable end of all existence. However Aeons that like the concept of existence like Yaoshi, I can see them experimenting with the idea of creating life. Same with Aha who would maybe just do it because they're bored. On the other side Aeons like Qlipoth, Fuli and Xipe I can't really see why they would have kids. They're about protecting, recording/archiving and uniting what is already there. For them creating a demi-Aeon would distract them from what they are working on and could potentially go against what they're about. i.e. Xipe is about uniting people and existence in a big family so for them having kids would put those beings above the family which would separate them.
For your second question, I think if they had something like kids their power level would be similar to an emanator and I think that, what would be inherited or given would be the power level combined with whatever the child would be made out of and the aesthetic of the Aeon. Because in essence all of the Aeons can do similar things. Aeons can shape shift, create life, destroy it, etc. it just depends what worldview they had when they became an aeon. Both Nanook and Aha could blow up a planet. It would just be different in the way that one explosion would be like the power of a sun, eating through the planet’s layers and the other would be like a kaleidoscope of fireworks and candy. If it comes to the way how they would have children, I think it depends on the Aeon like some would just create life. They would grab the light of a dying star and stretch it to give it limbs and grant it the gift of a soul; others would bring something dead to life and claim it to be theirs.
Your ideas aren't boring, they're interesting. Thank you a lot of for asking the questions
Again I think it's an interesting concept and if thought is put behind why an Aeon would create children, that could give a fascinating interpretation of what they're concepts are about or can be about.
