Have I doomed Chicken? For sure the other birds will think they're a total nutcase. After all, what would you think if one of your friends told you that they had a personal meeting with god, but he's not an omniscient being but some random guy who created your world for entertainment purposes. How does Chicken even know all this? In the past I sometimes talked to my characters for fun, like in comic #20 or #69 and Chicken and the vulture already discovered in comic #1 that they're on the internet. But that was so long ago and it was just some fun little meta humor. Now this is getting serious, I feel like I'm loosing control and I don't like this.
I don't want to be their god. I mean, yes I created them and their world but that's nothing special, right? People do that all the time. There's so many artists who create fictional universes and I don't think any of them ever had to deal with anything like this. I don't know if I'm ready for that sort of responsibility. Maybe I should have thought of that before creating this universe but how could I have expected this? I feel so cruel now for making them suffer, just for entertainment purposes. Am I a psychopath for making my creations go through all of this completely avoidable agony? But if I had made their world a perfect utopia, would you have liked to read about it?
Yes, that's right. I'm dragging YOU into this as well. Don't think you're off the hook just because you're a passive observer. I did all of this for you. You made them suffer just as much as I did. Don't say you didn't ask for this! I mean, you didn't but that's beside the point. It's my suffering and your suffering and that of all human beings in this world we cannot control which I projected onto these poor creatures inhabiting this world which is *entirely* under my control. It's the cycle of abuse. We're no better than children who were abused by their parents and are now abusing their own children because they don't know any better.
We're so addicted to spectacle that we don't even stop to think about how we use the incredible power to create we possess. People ask "if god is all powerful, why does he allow there to be so much suffering in this world"? Well, maybe he wants there to be all this suffering because he's suffering himself. Maybe the purpose of our agony is to bring some minor relief to the agony that is ever so present in his own world, which might have been created by a meta-god for that exact same purpose. But if that is the case, am I annoying him just as much by writing these lines as Chicken annoys me right now?
Well, at least he hasn't talked to me yet. Or she, I mean, there's no reason our creator can't be female. But if he or she wants, I'd be totally open to have a little talk. I might even make better conversation than Chicken did as I'd understand both sides. So yeah, if you read this, creator of my universe, why don't we have a little chat. For some reason I feel like a response is just as likely as that time I asked for a bucket sponsorship, but can you imagine how crazy it'd be if I actually got one.
