#I'm just screaming into the Void

[that-ineffable-devil]

I know I already posted about this but it was on a reblog that I think got buried under the original and I need someone else to lose their mind with me.

So the wonderful human that commented on this post about Hell's understaffing problem made me rethink something that I think a lot of us are sleeping on: Hell is RATIONING something.

At the beginning of S2 in between other remarks, Shax mentions that Beelzebub has put some lower ranking demons "on half rations." But we know celestials and infernals generally don't eat, so surely it's not food, right?

So what could they be rationing?

And then I remembered how both Heaven and Hell keep close tabs on the miracles done by Crowley and Aziraphale on Earth--even the little things.

And how, in S1, Hastur is stuck in Hell waiting for "maintenance" to come fix a leak in the ceiling. It's played off as a joke and it's something that would be so mundane for a human in an office or apartment building, so we don't give it much thought... But they can do miracles. They could literally fix that with a snap. We've seen Crowley fix the Bentley, so surely a little leak is nothing.

And Aziraphale gets reprimanded for doing "too many frivolous miracles," which we initially ignore because it's exactly the kind of bureaucratic/corporate BS we'd expect from Heaven and Hell.

But what if it's not just BS?

What if the power sources used by angels and demons are not infinite? Worse, what if they're not replenishable?

What if Hell is rationing miracles, because there's not enough power to go around?

And if so, where's the power coming from?

#good omens #crowley #aziraphale #good omens meta #good omens s2 #good omens s1 #I have not stopped thinking about this fr #There's so many ways it can go #And I can't think of one other thing Hell could be rationing that makes sense #And this could have serious implications in the whole “We need Armageddon to happen” ordeal #don't send help #I'm just screaming into the Void #Sorry void

More TOTK thoughts

So at the start of the gameplay demo, when Link is riding the horse, they're riding around Blatchery Plain, and the Dueling Peaks stable is there... only there's smoke coming out of the horse's snout, and Koroks with backpacks, but no Shrines nearby, and visible sky islands...

And it was toga Link riding the horse, so is it past Hyrule? Future Hyrule? Multiple versions of Hyrule smashed together and existing on the same plane!? FUSED HYRULES?!

And all the Zonai stuff! Were the Shiekah and Zonai in competition when it came to their tech? Were they the Apple and Mircosoft of Hyrule?

WHY ISN'T IT MAY 12th YET?!?!

I didn’t wind up liking this one as much (Spoilers for Jeht World Quest 2)

NGL, not a fan of how the ending of the 2nd Jeht World Quest was just...us going through the Tanit camp and killing everyone regardless of what happened. Like, it gives me the vibe of if we had all that time with those Fatuus on the GAA and then after we got to know them and like them as a breath of fresh air from every fatuus being an evil motherfucker with no personality beyond being an evil mother fucker we were asked to FUCKING KILL ALL OF THEM LIKE THEY ARE NO DIFFERENT FROM THE NPCs WE FIGHT ON THE DAILY. Babel was a corrupt asshole and deserved what was coming to her. But LITERALLY EVERYONE BESIDES OURSELVES AND JEHT?? LITERALLY EVERYBODY?? Why are these guys being punished more than the guys at the akademiya? The heads of the Akademiya did all their bullshit, much of which I would say is worse than anything the average Tanit camp member did, but the narrative decides they get to live. Why does Azar, chief motherfucker of all time, get to live, but none of the Tanit do? Why couldn’t we just tell everyone in the Tanit camp who wasn’t one of the top people involved with their bullshit to go repent, like we apparently let happen with the motherfuckers at the Akademiya? I don’t get it. And I do believe that we killed them, considering that nobody respawns there and the place is a fucking ghost town now. Any and all NPCs that were unnamed and stationary are gone. What did ‘spear-holder #2′ do that was so awful? 

Also, I super don’t like how basically the moral of this story was that the racist, pro-slavery glass bottle was actually right. Clearly these desert people can’t be trusted and Liloupaur was completely right to hate all of them from the off. It could have been a situation where like some of the Tanit camp were very much in the cult of Mother Babel and some of them were cool people who were like ‘listen man, we just want to survive and living in the desert is kinda difficult if you aren’t in a camp and this was the only one we had access to.’ Liloupaur’s bullshit would have been shown to be incorrect because the vast majority of eremites are just people trying to make it through, just because her hatred of someone was correct in one case or even a few cases doesn’t mean that her broad generalizations about the eremites were correct. But no. Instead we got ‘Hey actually every one of these people is evil and they need to be fucking purged from existence. They’re all conspiring with one another and the randos that we passed by daily are just as bad as Mother Babel herself. Let’s do exactly what Liloupaur did with Gurabad and kill everyone, leave not a soul alive save for ourselves and Jeht. Condemn the average person the same way we condemn the actual bad actors.’ And I don’t like that. I did not enjoy that storytelling decision. 

I also just...why does Jeht never have anything good happen to her? Like, why can’t she have a buddy that isn’t me? Why did they make it a point to be like ‘Jeht is perpetually suffering and has effectively been outcasted from all of the eremite camps in the desert, leaving her alone and othered by the only people who hadn’t already othered her.’ Like, that’s not fun. Why can’t Jeht have something fun for a change? Somebody in her life who doesn’t wind up leaving her or betraying her or getting killed? I get that that’s supposed to be us, but the game is not gonna let us do that! This isn’t even me saying this because I love Jeht and I want nice things for her, I just think a character who never has anything truly good happen to them is a recipe for disaster. Because that character risks becoming an object of pity rather than...an actual character. Thankfully Jeht hasn’t fallen into that trap yet, but I’ve seen it happen before and it never ends well. 

Overall, I do like this world quest. I think it does cool things for Jeht’s development and the worldbuilding of the desert itself. If Jeht wasn’t already my favorite Sumeru NPC (maybe even favorite Sumeru character in general), then this world quest solidified that. But to me this world quest reflects the Sumeru Archon Quest: Really good decision making throughout, then one or two things that I actively hate. For the Archon quest it was how they handled Dottore’s segments and how they handled Scaramouche going to our side (I refuse to call how his story was handled a ‘redemption’, at least right now); for this world quest it was the fact that I wasn’t allowed to defend the Tanit from Liloupaur’s bullshit and, eventually, that Liloupaur’s bullshit was actually shown to be the right way to handle the situation + the fact that Jeht literally gets nothing nice. 

TLDR; The ending of this world quest was not fun from a storytelling perspective (especially when you put it in the context of Liloupaur’s earlier statements about the Tanit/all eremites), I don’t like the fact that Jeht suffers so much with nothing good to offset the bad, and while I like the majority of this world quest there are a few things in it that keep me from saying I loved it. 

#I'm honestly not gonna tag this one #I'm just screaming into the void #CW: Cursing #Again I actually like the majority of stuff about this quest #But I feel like I would have enjoyed it a lot more if maybe the racist bottle of pro-slavery bullshit wasn't proven to have a point #and also if I got to take Jeht on a date #or at least let her have something nice

I’m really grateful I found Traditional Witchcraft because I get witchcraft as a non-religious practice but also get to worship the Witch Queen and the natural world without the heterosexism, gender essentialism, and cissexism you get with some other forms of religious witchcraft but I’m getting frustrated by how Christian so much of Traditional Witchcraft is.

And that in and of itself is whatever. Traditional Witchcraft is based on regional folklore and local magical practices, which for most European practitioners would be within a Christian cosmology, but then I come across some carelessness that really reveals that a writer is having trouble even approaching the Traditional Craft from a non-Christian angle.

I’ve never been Christian, I’m culturally and ethnically a Jew and I love my Jewishness. And I’ve been fascinated by the way medieval/early modern Christians associate witches with Jews. Both explicitly and implicitly (this isn’t about hats-that was probably not about us). When I practice witchery as a contemporary nature religion I don’t come at it from a Christian perspective because that has never been mine.

It’s mostly just mildly frustrating, but sometimes witches who are otherwise cool and nifty people just recreates Christian hegemony without thinking or even say something casually antisemitic. Hell, one of my favorite authors keeps referring to “qabbalah” and I have to stop myself from screaming every time.

Thank you so much for answering my ask!! I hope you get a lot of rest and I’m glad you’re feeling better :D tysm!!

Np! I just hope you enjoy it, man. Since you'd been so patient, I really did try to make it a really interesting little scenario. But something about that shit just never clicked :/

That might just be me tho! I'm a perfectionist who dislikes writing the same thing over and over and feel the need to shake things up. But, y'know, two bakers make two cakes and all that.

I'm just glad you enjoyed! Ignore my whining lol

I was joking with a couple of friends earlier that whatever it is that got me sick had the audacity to take my voice like an annoying sea witch but couldn't even be bothered to give me new legs.

I've been thinking a lot recently what my motto would be, or what phrase I would get tattooed if I wanted to- there's so many options!

Memento Mori, Memento Vivere- remember you must die so remember to live

Excelsior- onwards and upwards

Well behaved women rarely make history- so many people misinterpret this. It's not a celebration of the few women whose names made history, although they are important, but rather all the women who didn't. All the women who made history by feeding their families, raising their children, cared for the sick, brought food to the mourning, and did all the things that a society needs to function, unmentioned and unthanked.

Aut viam inveniam aut faciam- If I cannot find a way, I will make one

hey remember when it was considered really fucking weird to use extremely sexual and disturbing language to simp for real people in their own comment sections/online spaces? can we go back to that stigma? like if you wouldn't say that shit out loud to that person's face, literally just don't say it anywhere. y'all are so self-centered it's insane. you do not EVER. have the right to tell someone who does not know you at all exactly what you think of them sexually. bunch of disgusting catcallers.
