1) I bend the lore because I can. I like pulling it to the furthest reaches of plausible (and maybe not entirely plausible) because since I play an inventor and scientist I feel I have to, otherwise I'm just a technician. I do try to come up with reasons everything that I design would work in canon, but I feel if I didn't push the boundaries, then it's not interesting.
2) I feel no remorse at having ICly punched primals and come up with ways to do it, see point one. I don't MSQ RP so I don't claim or use echo, or the blessing of light, but I did ICly create a way to avoid tempering and I don't regret it. For me, part of Final Fantasy is about punching gods in the face, so hell yes I'm going to do it.
