Hey, Tumblr. Guess what. Relationships are defined by the people involved in them, and that's that. If people say they're friends, then they're friends. If people say they're dating, then they're dating. If they say it's a secret third thing, then that's what it is. Someone else's relationship isn't for you to decide.

Fervour's Opposite

Red.

The color of blood and fire. Wrath and violence. The color of Fervour. The color of Lamb's Crown.

Until it's not.

Cyan.

Otherwise known as "light blue". Taking up residence in the space between green and 'true' blue; opposite to red. Close cousin to turquoise...

Spirits are purple, Devotion is white, Corruption is black, and ill-intentions are green. Orange is... something. But we've yet to see cyan in action, what would be Fervour's counterpart. Which is odd for something that is the second-most present color on the tarot cards.

And it's clearly a color that's part of the Red Crown's toolkit, yet it's not one that manifests through the Lamb, while red and white do.

So... what is the opposite of Fervour? I suppose, first...

What is Fervour?

Fervour is the physical manifestation of the devotion directed towards rival Gods. It's likely the exact same as normal (white) devotion, Lamb just perceives it differently because it's not for them. And while it can't be used to trigger Divine Inspiration (a deity channeling itself through the vessel), it can be used for magic. Primarily curses, but it's also utilized in the Heavy Attacks and when healing using the Fleece of Fervour's Favor.

The only deity we know of that can use Fervour to trigger Divine Inspiration is the Great Fanatic, via the use of the Zealous Weapons. Which signals something about the deity he so fervently worships... but that's a topic for another time.

Fervour is: -harvested from slain enemies -the zeal of one's foes [Fervour's Harvest] -one's own malicious intent [Strength From Within] -resilience [Strength From Without] -representative of physical life (Bios/Shinzou) -the fire in Kudaai's forge -associated with the moon [Fervour's Host] -associated with the Fowler

Therefore, Fervour's opposite should be: -harvested from allies (slain? living?) -one's ally's apathy/insincerity -one's own benevolent intent -characterized by rigidity, fragility, and/or vulnerability -representative of spiritual life (Psuche/Kokoro) -associated with water -associated with the sun

Fervour's association with Righteousness would also mean that its opposite is associated with Sinfulness. (wink wink, nudge) What is apathetic devotion? Insincere devotion? After thinking it over for ages, I came to a conclusion.

Where there is passion, there is indifference. Where there is desire, there is disinterest. Where there is earnestness, there is indecision.

Fervour's opposite is Ambivalence.

'Of or relating to the coexistence within an individual of positive and negative feelings toward the same person, object, or action, simultaneously drawing that individual in opposite directions.'

Blood vs. Water. The blood of the covenant vs the water of the womb. Fire vs. Ice. The Hearts vs. The Lovers. Hunger vs. Satiation. Damnation vs. Blessings.

What is taken vs. What is given.

An entity that, though kind, inspires mixed feelings. Feelings that likely stem directly from that entity's poor emotional/mental strength in the face of adversity. The physical manifestation of contradiction.

And while there is no weapon set that aligns with Ambivalence, the Curse of the Tundra and the Icegore seem to be where cyan lies.
