Cozy Glow is such an interesting litmus test for die-hard bronies. I was checking r/mlp to prep a post and there’s a discussion post about how she deserved what she got and. How do I tell bronies that children should not be tried as adults. How do I tell bronies that psychopaths and sociopaths deserve human rights and treatment and support. How do I tell bronies that cruel and unusual punishments are bad. How do I tell bronies that the death penalty is wrong. How do I tell bronies that a ruling body should not have absolute say over putting someone to death, least of all a 6-year-old child.
These are all my recent google searches.

Nightbringer didn’t change why Lilith was punished in Lesson 12.
I keep seeing people misunderstand Lucifer’s explanation on Lilith. So I wanted to clarify some misconceptions I see being spread around.
In Obey Me Shall We Date we learn Lilith was punished for giving forbidden food from the Celestial Realm to save her sick human lover.
It’s also important to note that angels are prohibited from interfering in the lives of humans.
In Obey Me Nightbringer Lucifer explains,
“I told her she could never visit the human world again. I tried to convince her, but she wouldn’t listen to me. She said that someday the same thing would happen to me. I’d meet someone I loved so deeply that I’d be willing to throw away everything for them. And then I’d finally understand how she felt.”
This means Lilith has already used the forbidden food from the Celestial Realm to save the human she loved. Lilith knew she’d be punished for it but loved this human so much she was willing to throw away everything for him.
Lilith’s conversation with Lucifer, her interfering with the lives of humans, using forbidden Celestial Realm food and her views on humans angered Father.
Especially since they went directly against all that Angels and the Celestial Realm stood for.
Belphegor words it best,
“ . . . You see, Lilith loved humans. She loved humanity as a whole. She used to talk to me about them and how we underestimated them. You know angels and demons are always trying to protect humans, or guide them or whatever? Well, she said that was insulting to humans.”
All of this lead to the decision that Lilith would be given the Celestial Realm’s gravest form of punishment.
This punishment does match the description of the punishment mentioned in Obey Me Shall We Date.
Wiped from existence so that nothing was left. Meaning her existence in the Celestial Realm, Human World and Devildom. She’d lose her wings, be cast down into darkness and unable to be reborn. Forced to wander through the darkness for all eternity.
Lilith was already going to be punished for breaking the rules. The severity of the punishment though was because of Lilith’s love for humans.
This decision was something Lucifer couldn’t understand. Yes Lilith broke the rules but she did it out of love. A love so deep it paired with the brothers.
He believed love was something beautiful. Was the love Lilith felt really so wrong? This ended up leading Lucifer to questioning his Father.

Stephanie drives me insane because imagine being constantly put down , never trusted always seen as weak and a liability. A character destined to always be despised by writers and have to take a backseat to a boy WITH THE EXACT SAME SKILL SET AS YOU as everyone parades him along and EVERYONE says that you arent good enough. You try and try and try and prove yourself and fail and get fired from a role you desperately wanted by a mentor who doesn’t give a shit abt you and so you try and get killed and tortured and go through so much and still nobody thinks you can do it . BUT YOU DONT GIVE A SHIT !!!!!!! STEPHANIE STILL TRIES SHE STILL CRACKS JOKES AND NEVER LETS ANYONE KEEP HER DOWN AND SO WHAT IF SHE CANT DO IT SHE DOESNT NEED YOUR OPINION SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND SHE KICKS AND SCRATCHES AND NEVER EVER GIVES IN AND OH MY GOD I LOVE HER 😭😭😭😭😭

I feel like a lot of elden ring theories that suggest a character was being controlled and had no agency or ability to make their own decisions don’t really click for me because I find them really narratively uninteresting… like for example, if we take the situation with Radagon leaving Rennala, the idea that Radagon was dragged away from her kicking and screaming and only served the Greater Will because he was forced to feels like a much less complex story than if Radagon loved Rennala, but agreed to follow the Greater Will’s commands without complaint because he genuinely believed it was his duty… characters making really difficult and painful decisions that have tangible consequences for both the narrative as a whole and their relationships with others are like the heart of a great story! that’s where the tragedy, the drama, the heartbreak is!! I think we should judge theories not just based on if they’re possible or if they have potential evidence, but also if they make a compelling story and fit the characters

Had some more random ideas for the Accidentally God Queen of Clones Elle and her Amnesiac Knight Champion Kon AU (which really is a prompt a swear, ignore all the details/too many ideas I don't know enough about DC to be able to write this, so I'd anyone sees anything they like in any of this go wild ❤️)
- Tim doesn't take his mask off while in Elle's lair so Kon doesn't put together the fact that Tim is the mystery boy he kinda remembers. Leading to Kon saying that he hopes to one day find the boy he was in love with while Tim is trying to help him get his memories back, which then has Tim spiraling that Kon had a secret boyfriend that he never told Tim about before going missing.
- Elle and the rest of the Clone Club realizing immediately that Tim has to be The Guy and deciding to run with this chance for chaos and matchmaking. They lie about being able to send Tim back immediately and that he's gonna have to stay for awhile, but hey he can room with Kon! Ignore the fact that there are hundreds of rooms in this place, Kon has a big bed and is great at snuggles!
- When Kon became Elle's Knight, he started getting trained by Fright Knight & Pandora. He gets really good at fighting with just about every weapon (baring firearms) imaginable as a result.
- Fright Knight also insisted on teaching Kon all the other stuff outside of fighting a knight must know including the code of chivalry and the "Seven Points of Agilities" which sounded fine to Kon (learning how to ride horses/Night Mares and how to joust were both cool & expected) up until he was learning how to waltz with the giant ghost of fear as his partner. And don't get him started on having to both be able to recite and write love poetry (Elle, at least had fun, though that really came from laughing at his expense).
- He has tattoos now, some sentimental or just because he likes them, but he also has an ornate sword going down his back, and a shield split across both firearms that appears whole when he holds them together. The sword and shield are actually his (magical/ghost made) weapons that disappear from his skin when he summons them and return when he's done with them.
- Baddass and beautiful ornate (but practical and very comfortable!) Knight armor! It has filigree! And a cape!
- Instead of his sword sending people to the Nightmare Dimension, instead his shield can reflect attacks back at people (it's made to be used for ectoplasm based attacks, but can be used to deflect lazers).
- When Kon surrenders to the Justice Leage, he is wearing his armor, though sans helmet (which Pandora & Fright Knight are gonna kill him for later, helmets being a key features in the whole not dying portion of fighting has been something they've been yelling at him about for ages) and seeing Kon in ethereal knightly armor makes Tim bluescreen for a bit because damn.
- Kon falling in love with Tim and feeling conflicted because his mystery boy is out there somewhere, while Tim is just agonizing over the fact that Kon never told him about mystery boy and oh god did Kon not trust him with that?
- Elle gets Fright Knight in on the match making by telling him it'd be a good way for Kon to practice chivalry. Fright Knight takes this as an opportunity to make Kon recite his bad poetry (written about Tim both in terms of Kon writing about mystery boy and writing about Red Robin). It's truly awful. Tim loves it.

I think…I just read someone say that the United States is the most brutal and oppressive empire in human history
at this point, there is nothing in the realm of human possibility that can possibly communicate what a desperately ignorant thing that is to say
