Spiritual Warfare #19 Avoiding the Unpardonable Sin

One of the most misunderstood topics in the New Testament concerns the “Unpardonable Sin,” also known as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Satan has blinded most of the Church from this truth for over two thousand years because it is one of the most significant revelations concerning our faith and our identity in Christ. In the gospels we have three accounts of Jesus…

"I thought I wanted it. But the burden is a heavy one. It's too heavy. If you wish me to bear it then defend me. And my children."

I wonder what burden she feels she's holding at this moment. We know that she isn't speaking of the burden of ruling and managing the realm for the last several years while her father was sick, because while she was on Dragonstone, those duties fell to the Hand and the Queen. As far as the show tells us, Rhaenyra has no specific duties she's fulfilling as heir, nor has she been doing anything in particular to prepare to rule. We're not shown that she's doing anything with her time beyond anything beyond managing Dragonstone with Daemon and growing her family. So what exactly in her life at this moment is she seeing as this massive burden that she bears because she's heir to the throne?

I think the burden she's speaking of here is actually the pressure she's feeling as she's finally being faced with the idea that her father won't always be around to help her avoid the consequences of her actions. So even though it's obvious that he's on the edge of death, in immense pain, barely hanging on, and despite the fact that she hasn't visited him at this point in literal years despite knowing about his ailing health and she's done nothing to support him in ruling in his last years, she still feels entitled enough to demand that he do another massive favor for her. At this point, Rhaenyra has been enabled by her father for so many years that she doesn't know how to solve a problem without him. So she plays the heir card on Viserys to get him to defend her one more time: if you want me to be queen, and you don't want me to be held accountable and face consequences, help me get away with it one more time.

Rhaenyra is upset not because of any real burden she has as heir but because she feels like the walls are closing in and she's under attack. I would feel some sympathy for her if it weren't for the fact that she wouldn't be in this situation if she'd made better choices. If literally anyone else in the realm had obvious bastards they were using to usurp a seat of power, there would be huge consequences. Rhaenyra knows this and is doing it anyway because she thinks her position as heir to the throne gives her the power to be able to do it and get away with it. Her birthright as a Targaryen says she deserves absolute power because she's better than other people, so she can do no wrong and nobody can say otherwise to her. She believes she's clever enough to pass the deception, and otherwise her father can punish anyone who speaks up... until Vaemond goes to court, and her father is not there to blankly support her no matter what. Now, she's faced with people who intend to uphold the law of the land and she's upset that she might actually be confronted with her problems head on and not have someone to shield her this time.

#it's not the burden of duty she feels #it's the pressure #of course daddy and uncle got her back in the end and an unarmed man is killed from behind #all for speaking the truth #but haha that's just our malewife saving our girlboss amirite 🤣#rule by fear exemplified right here by tb #pro team green #hotd #anti rhaenyra targaryen

Another AU?!! You spoil us, honestly, I love them all!

It’s okay if you don’t want to answer this but- is younger Vlad the "loves Dani" Vlad or is there an AU Vlad in the mix? And does Dani get to interact with younger Vlad? If so how are they with each other? I can’t help feeling that it’s be awkward as heck if she’s already been rejected by older Vlad, esp. of D-Stabilized still happens, but she’d still be drawn to him regardless. And he’d def want a relationship with her… Id think.

Yep! Young Vlad is the one who loves Dani. This AU involves Dani becoming trapped in the mid 1980s, shortly after Vlad escapes the hospital. This is soon after Kindred Spirits for Dani, and in the present day Vlad is hunting her and she falls through a ghost zone time portal trying to get away from him and finds herself in Madison, Wisconsin in 1986. She encounters young Vlad and they strike up this awkward hesitant friendship because despite Vlad being a tortured, bitter, self absorbed tsundere even at the age of 24, he can identify with this strange runaway girl who was betrayed by someone who was supposed to care about her...

This AU is basically just a blend of horrible angst (Dani is actively dying and has to keep everything a secret from Vlad) and domestic fluff with 1980s flavoring lol. I won't be dropping the art posts until late December so stay tuned!

#danny phantom #cheese melt #asks #Clockwork is probably pressured by the Observants to pull Dani out of the past. A plot point further complicated by the 80s GIW who #are closing in on Vlad and his paranormal business practices.#Older Vlad is the final boss #he eventually finds a way to go back in time too to go after Dani and he's acting like he owns the place (because he kinda does)#But Unfortunately for him #Once young Vlad gets over the shock of the truth #Older Vlad finds out that his younger self has been daydreaming about punching Dani's 'abusive father' in the mouth #and violence ensues

thinking about it, apollo might be the only defense attorney in the ace attorney franchise who became a lawyer to actually be a lawyer, which explains a lot about him

#mia wanted to expose redd white #phoenix wanted to find edgeworth #edgeworth got pressured into being a prosecutor by von karma #franziska wanted to prove herself to her father #diego probably actually did want to be a lawyer for the sake of it but godot had a revenge mission of whatever #klavier does it as a side gig #kristoph just wants power #seb did it to impress his dad #athena wanted to save simon #i don't know what simon's deal is tbh #or anyone in aa6 for that matter but none of their reasons for practicing law are normal #asougi did it to find the truth about his dad #ryuu did it for asougi #barok's reasons were probably initially normal but then his brother died 😔✊#and this leaves klimt grossberg and apollo. lol #out of all the defense attorneys apollo DEFINITELY is the only one who actually just wanted to be a lawyer #aa #unless i'm forgetting a detail from one of his 10 thousand backstories #WAIT i forgot about whatshisname from aai2. we don't really know what his deal is though either

Oh yeah remember when Finn said Mike was trying to be normal.

What the fuck was that. Because he spent all his time in Hawkins with Eddie freakin “the freak” Munson emphasizing to Lucas how he did not care about being cool.

The only other thing he did all season was try to tell El he....oh

#the only even stretch of an argument would be that him trying to be normal was preventing him from telling her #but his emotional repression was not rooted in social pressure #(at least not any focused on in the show)#which is the explanation for that behavior to oversimplify it #so this comment was to say that not only is SOMETHING *preventing* or working against him internally but that that thing is socially frowned #upon and therefore cannot be admitted #likely why he didn't talk much in detail about it with will #the only thing he did that wasn't be proudly abnormal was attempt to and tell el he loved her #the only other thing he did was get closer to will tbh and that was NOT him taking the 'peer pressured socially acceptable' path #mike wheeler #byler proof #!#periodically i just remember this and go crazt #*crazy #the fun part about him being sidelined (for buildup but the truth stands about his role in this season from plots to screentime) is that #there are only so many options for what something like that could be describing #2. there are 2. absolute max if you're including episode 1 #stranger things #byler #st cast

“Daniel knew before the tests at Silverstone that he would have the cockpit at AT if he could perform. He more than survived the pressure situation."

- Helmut fucking Marko

#this old coot really needs to go into a retirement home and I know he’ll just turn around and say shit that only supports his agendas #but damn Daniel really showed he’s still got it #and truth be told he’s always shown he can thrive under pressure #be it monza 2021 going into that weekend knowing that would be his strongest track and being determined to win #because he knew he had to prove he could turn his season around #and after being sacked last year and going into that triple header after summer break #having a nightmarish time in the first two races including that cursed moment of him sitting alone in spa #but then he gets to monza and somehow manages to get to q3 and running in P8 for most of the race before dnfing???#it requires a kind of mental resilience to be able to perform even when everybody has already written you off and you’re on your way out #daniel ricciardo

Why do you dislike the idea of Wen Qing being the top of a ChengQing relationship out of curiosity?

Short answer is that if it wasn't such an overwhelming majority of portrayals, I wouldn't!

slightly longer answer is that the idea that ~all het pairings have to have femdom in order to be acceptably progressive~ cuts off women from being portrayed as fully realized characters. It's a lack of willingness to explore their interiority and to allow them access to the full spectrum of humanity. Male characters are allowed to be messy. Male characters are allowed to pine and fall desperately in love and harbor fears that it's unrequited. Male characters are allowed to feel insecure and uncertain. Male characters are allowed to be loved despite all their flaws and all their mistakes and all their blind spots. Male characters are allowed to change and grow and be forgiven. Female characters have to be perfect angel goddesses who are given out to male characters as rewards to be worshipped. Let female characters down off their pedestals for once, I am begging.

*long sigh* It’s just like… nowadays we express attraction/affection towards a female character by going WOW STEP ON ME QUEEN!!! and towards a male character by going OH THE THINGS I WANT TO DO TO HIM… >:) HE’S SO PATHETIC AND WET

and it’s because we don’t want to be sexist and/or degrading! I absolutely get that! but when we’re actually writing longform narrative about specific characters, I want to be able to explore the character of the individual and the relationship, instead of just having those two sentiments writ large. I don’t want to read about generic Character A/Character B.

and like, again, this is a problem I have with the trend, not with any individual fic. I've read and enjoyed individual fics where she's the dominant one who takes Jiang Cheng apart and makes him beg for it. But why is it all I can find? Why is she slotted into the pigeonhole of "Wei Wuxian's mean lesbian bestie, whose own life never gets any focus" in the background of every other fic? Why does she never get teased by her modern AU friends? When does she get to be impulsive and silly? Why does she always have to be “too smart” to get involved in shenanigans? Why does she never get to let her guard down? When does she get to feel safe enough to relax her prickles and expose her vulnerable underbelly? Why does she never get to have vulnerabilities at all? Why does she never get to be soft, why does she never get to be sweet, why does she never get to rest and be taken care of? Why does she always have to have everything together? Why does she never get to appreciate or be grateful for someone else's good points, someone else's strength? Why does she have to be good at literally everything, instead of ever getting to let someone else compensate for the things she's not good at? She's lost so much, just as much as any male character in the series; why does she never get to cry and mourn and be held and comforted? Why does she always, always have to be the strong one? When does she get to put that burden down? Why is her canonical moral ambiguity never given space, when Jiang Cheng's is always portrayed as an obstacle between them? Why do her canonical wrongdoings never require forgiveness or atonement? Why doesn't she ever get portrayed as feeling guilty for the atrocities she stood by and let happen— that she outright enabled? Why does she never get to be a person?

tl;dr: every single time the male character gets to be a skrunkly meowmeow, his female love interest should also get the same treatment, dammit.

#littledust is out there doing yeoman's work though #I'm sorry I recognize that this is less diplomatic than it should be but like #this is. a nerve #I could copy out this whole rant for Royai fics #let! male love interests! be cool and admirable sometimes! otherwise why are you inflicting them on female characters you like!#as an afab person: it is EXHAUSTING to feel pressured to keep up the ~mean tough person who takes no guff and delivers hard truths!!!~ armor #and I don't want that for the characters I love. not in the relationships that I want for them.#whenever I see people say ''haha THIS is 'boys will be boys''' on videos of people having fun and being weird and living in the moment #I get so mad! why are you /gendering/ the human experience of being impulsive and whimsical?#anonymous #answered ask #no good things for the poor sad cultivators

Spiritual Warfare #18 ~ Reckon Yourself Dead

Romans 6:11 Likewise, you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. So, what does it mean to “reckon yourself to be dead indeed to sin?” Many translations render this phrase “consider yourself to be dead,” but what does that look like? Another good word for “reckon” is “believe.” We must believe that we are dead to sin. But…

A little glad that we're past the state where interactions between Shuichi and Ouma are mostly considered saiouma because I can only see them as Celestia and Kyoko's adoptive children. Like what do you mean Shuichi isn't a kid Kyoko met on a case and got attached to and took in. What do you mean Ouma isn't a random problem child Celestia came home with one day after gambling

#maki too btw. celesgiri is a disease #i just think celes would be very supportive of ouma and his dice buddies okay #she would 100% make them masks and outfits if given the chance #and kyoko of course would also support shuichi #probably cautiously bc she doesnt want to make him feel pressure to be a detective #but she would still encourage him through his. many anxieties about being perceived and finding the truth #dr1 #ndrv3 #danganropa #celesgiri #kyoko kirigiri #celestia ludenberg #kokichi ouma #shuichi saihara
