I wonder what it would feel like to find out that your husband and father of your two children is a paedophile at Super Bowl in front of the whole of country because that’s what Elia felt.

#not to mention he’s the son of the president and you’re a foreign envoy and the country isn’t even yours and you were always a foreigner to #them #AND he’s been wanting another child from you because he read his grandfather’s journal on some prophecy and is now his kids are the next #prophets #you can never go back to your family and you can’t leave your kids with him because that’s what the country’s laws demand #elia martell #anti rhaeghar targaryen #sorry I’m not American but the Super Bowl is the most apt analogy I could find 💀 #lyanna stark #asoiaf

Time Travel Question : Medievalish History 8 and Earlier

These Questions are the result of suggestions from the previous iteration.

This category may include suggestions made too late to fall into the correct earlier time grouping. Basically, I'd already moved on to human history, but I'd periodically get a pre-homin suggestion, hence the occasional random item waaay out of it's time period, rather than reopen the category.

In some cases a culture lasted a really long time and I grouped them by whether it was likely the later or earlier grouping made the most sense with the information I had. (Invention ofs tend to fall in an earlier grouping if it's still open. Ones that imply height of or just before something tend to get grouped later, but not always. Sometimes I'll split two different things from the same culture into different polls because they involve separate research goals or the like).

Please add new suggestions below if you have them for future consideration. All cultures and time periods welcome.

Men reject their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and honor those they have slain.

prophet whumpees.

headaches, gasping for air, bloody noses, dissociation, and the visions that never stop, that take them away from the world at the worst times, leaving them vulnerable, open, disoriented and afraid upon waking.

they're forced to see the future, death and destruction, taunted by things they can't prevent but the bait in their eyes saying, "maybe you can. you know what's going to happen. you can fight it; isn't that why you see?" but in the end, it's impossible--and they're left with the guilt of seeing something too late, watching their nightmares unfold in front of them.

maybe they see the past, though, of their friends, of fallen kingdoms and collapsed ruins. can't go two feet into a library without passing out, lost in its history. stepping into old memories, of their friends and their secrets, or into their own traumas, over and over, unable to escape.

and it all feels so terribly, hauntingly real. they are drowning, they are being branded, they're really watching an ages-old war unfold, standing in the middle of the field with spears pressed into their chest and back, they can feel the blood pouring from open wounds and they can feel their bones breaking, every time they're torn from reality it's just another godforsaken nightmare.

tortured by visions. ugh what a trope

"The Reckoning" (S06E21, Stardate UNKNOWN) is a solid return to Bajor's spirotual roots. We get a jealous Kai, political posturing, the Prophets and a battle with a Pah-Wraith. And in all of this we get to witness just how strong Ben's faith in the Pophets has grown since his first days on DS9.

My episode poster for is a Prophet-powered Kira. It was going to include a pah-wraith powered Jake, but that was getting too busy.

Who Are Your True Friends?

The friend and beloved of a person is the one who strives to help him build his ākhirah (ie: Hereafter), وَصَدِيقُ الْإِنْسَانِ وَمُحِبُّهُ هُوَ مَنْ سَعَى فِي عِمَارَةِ آخِرَتِهِ even if it leads to a deficiency in his dunyā (ie: worldly life). وَإِنْ أَدَّى ذَلِكَ إِلَى نَقْصٍ فِي دُنْيَاهُ And his enemy is the one who strives to destroy or diminish his ākhirah, وَعَدُوُّهُ مَنْ يَسْعَى فِي ذَهَابِ أَوْ نَقْصِ آخِرَتِهِ even if it brings some form of benefit to his dunyā. وَإِنْ حَصَلَ بِسَبَبِ ذَلِكَ صُورَةُ نَفْعٍ فِي دُنْيَاهُ This is why Iblīs is our enemy, وَإِنَّمَا كَانَ إِبْلِيسُ عَدُوًّا لَنَا and the Prophets — may the prayers and peace of Allah be upon them all — are the allies of the believers, due to their efforts for the masalih (ie: benefit of) the believers' ākhirah لِهَذَا وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ وَسَلَامُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَوْلِيَاءُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِسَعْيِهِمْ فِي مَصَالِحِ آخِرَتِهِمْ and guiding them towards it. وَهِدَايَتِهِمْ إِلَيْهَا And we ask Allah, the Generous, for our success. وَنَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْكَرِيمَ تَوْفِيقَنَا al-Nawawī, al-Minhāj bi Sharḥ Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2/24 النووي، المنهاج شرح صحيح مسلم ٢/٢٤ https://shamela.ws/book/1711/268 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

The Church has an obsession with obedience, specifically obedience to the prophet. I think this comes from a misunderstanding of both the first law being obedience and the purpose of having a prophet.

The first law being obedience does not mean giving up your agency to only do what someone else tells you to do, but it does mean following rules that are important until you understand why they exist. Like a child learning to stop and look both ways before crossing a street or to not hit their sibling or to eat fruits and vegetables so they aren’t constipated. Those rules should be followed because they are important to living a good life and getting along in society, and as a child you don’t yet understand why. You have to obey until you are old enough to understand and then adapt them to their life (like looking as you approach the street instead of stopping or knowing to not cross if you can’t see around a blind corner) but a parent should never force a child to eat legumes if their child breaks out in hives every time they eat them.

Obedience is an act of faith. If there were no commandments, there would be no way to have faith. It’s the act of saying hey I want to trust you, what do I need to do to see if what you say is trustworthy. It’s the first law because without it you can’t experience the transformative power of faith and repentance (the act of becoming a better person). It’s virtue lies solely in developing faith.

This is why “blind obedience” is bad. Blind obedience is giving up your agency to allow someone else to dictate what is right instead of figuring it out for yourself. You are allowed to experiment upon “divine” counsel from prophets and determine that it is not right based on the fruits you experience. And guess what, some people will be allergic to vegetables while other people feel so much better after starting to eat vegetables. And that’s the point. We are supposed to learn for ourselves what is good and evil. If there was only one right answer, humanity would’ve figured it out by now and we wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn for ourselves.

Which brings us to prophets. So many people what to surrender their agency and just blindly follow prophets (I used to be one of them). Sure, if you deign to simply be a sheep following the prophet, yeah you will likely be in the clear as the prophet will be accountable for your actions, but you will be unfit for exaltation. Heavenly Father isn’t running this world based on something someone else is telling Him to do.

So what is the purpose of the prophet? To be a warning on the watchtower. The prophet warns us of dangers ahead and tells us to repent and be prepared. The only time prophets get specific laws for everyone is when they are also leading people in a secular manner (Moses).

Let’s take the example of the family being under attack. And you betcha it is. Families are being broken up by poverty, meaning the state treats being unable to take care of your children due to lack of money the same as physically abusing them. Florida is threatening to break up families if any family member is trans. Anti-abortion laws are encouraging people to be sterilized rather than risk an unwanted pregnancy, meaning families that might’ve been formed won’t be. Long work hours and low pay are reducing the size of families and putting undo stress on families. Expensive healthcare also reduces the amount of kids people have and quality of life and time spent with families, including feeling like it is better to die painfully than riddle your family with medical debt.

The warning that families were under attack was correct. The idea that it was LGBT people trying to live authentically and form families of their own was not correct. It is the rejection of a queer child that breaks up a family, mixed orientation marriages, disagreements on the right way to help a trans child, the fascist response to queer happiness and families, and the general lack of pay increase and exploitation of good people who want to have families but can’t because a billionaire wants a higher score than last year.

Just like I won’t receive revelation for the Church and it’s administration, the prophet is not to make up commandments when Gd has simply given a warning, to create so many rules and policies that it prevents people from experiencing the love of Christ, or to put himself as a Gd on earth without need for repentance, especially for speaking good ideas that aren’t actually meant for everyone.

Sharing my testimony about how Christ has healed me and promising the same to others in my situation is not “receiving revelation for the Church”. It’s finding a legume alternative to fiber and sharing with those who also share that allergy. It’s saying Gd does not want people to suffer an allergic reaction and possibly die. It’s shining my light so others can come to Christ and reduce the suffering in the world.

So O’Brien was definitely hell on Cadets at the Academy right? Like he made it his life goal to remind them that being an Officer did not make you a god. Never unfair but by the stars every Cadet dreaded Engineering 101, which he teaches specifically so he gets a chance to put the fear of the Prophets into Security, Command, and Science. Every Ensign has his lessons branded into their minds by the time they graduate.

On the flip side, the minute an NCO, be they a Warrant Officer, Petty Officer, or a newly enlisted soul walks through the doors he is the sweetest most supportive man who ever lived. Coffee, a sympathetic ear, and advice. The entire enlisted ranks love “Mister Miles” and they fact that he terrifies the officer corps makes them love him even more.

In conclusion the LaForge kids and the Lower Decks ensigns live in perpetual fear of Miles O’Brien but the Prodigy kids are gonna love him.
