Essence ofBased and Cringe

By consuming this essence, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain the power to control the conceptual boundaries of Based and Cringe, which then forces reality (possibly retroactively) to restructure to accommodate this change. This power can probably be best compared to Persona from Nobilis.

  • By moving your argument into the concept of "Based" in a debate, everyone will know deep down that you are correct and speaking potentially harsh truths. Even if opponents are socially required to disagree in public, everyone will know you won the argument.

  • By further moving your opponent into "Cringe", instead of simply being incorrect or someone trapped having to maintain a polite fiction, they are clearly a deceitful and evil grifter purposely calling for things that are plainly insane to everyone who sees it.

  • By being Based, you will find that you always have sufficient receipts and evidence to prove your point. This could be solid evidence in itself, of you could simply make a statement by you of "I made it the fuck up" Based. For the former, there will be official studies that truly and unmistakably demonstrate your point, possibly changing reality itself to make it correct.

  • If you truly push your statements incredibly deeply into Based, then they simply become clearly evident to anyone with an above room temperature IQ and has ever been offline. Similarly to statements like "people tend to not like being violently mugged in the streets", someone demanding you cite studies for them would actually be sabotaging their credibility.

  • You can destroy a powerful cult of personality by cursing the leader with so much Cringe the entire movement falls apart.

• This extends past just debates, allowing you to bless and curse things with the conceptual/archetypical/metaphorical properties of Based and Cringe, as viewed by you.

  • A property of Based might be that it cuts to the heart of the problem. A sword blessed by that property might be able to effortlessly penetrate any mortal armour and even reverse causality to always lethally pierce the heart. Cursing someone's bullets to not have that property will mean they might harmlessly bounce off anything solid without being able to punch through.

  • A property of Cringe might be that is oblivious and unaware. Someone cursed by this might be physically unable to perceive whatever events of your choosing. Someone selectively blessed by this might have trauma erased from their mind. They might still remember the inciting events if you want, but it would still stop them from experiencing the subjective trauma.

• You are also able to incarnate yourself into things conceptually tied to the ideas of Based and Cringe. You may teleport to people who are Based or troll people who are Cringe, even becoming those things if you wish. This goes beyond simple physical movement or self-transformation though. You might be able to visit the worlds of incredibly Based or Cringe works of fiction, living there or even bringing back treasures from there.
