#and he's chosen to forgive

[msue0027]

Martha Jones - Jesus Christ parallels (never thought i'd write a sentence like this)

there's the other one who has sent me

For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say. (John 12:49-50)

Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. (John 5:24)

I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. (John 5:30b)

I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world. They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him. (John 8:26-29)

[...] for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. (John 8:42b)

etc., and so on...

"Rodimus is a better Prime because it didn't hurt for him to bond with the Matrix while for Optimus it did" headcanon/theory my beloathed.

One day I'm literally gonna snap and make a whole post addressing why what's wrong bc I'm tired of the inaccuracy and tired of ppl not understanding the Point TM of IDW and its version of the Matrix/Primacy and even more tired of people putting down Optimus in favor of Rodimus by essentially arguing that being unworthy means you deserve to be punished/put in pain bc you just weren't good enough to hold the Symbol of Ultimate Authority

#it's wrong on so many levels both in terms of lore and as well as like what the general themes of idw1 are #it's just a validation contest using the matrix as some magical symbol to decide who's the most special #which is ironically something that was a plot point in exrid/OP. specifically how stupid of an idea that is ldskjflksd #ppl revealing that they havent read anything besides mtmte/ll as usual #like half the reason ppl think optimus is a bad prime and rodimus is a good prime is literally bc like #optimus was written by an author who was specifically trying to deconstruct him (sometimes to the point of absurdity) #and rodimus was written by an author who takes a more optimistic/idealistic approach. and is also better at writing #but also like am i seriously the only person who thinks that that argument is fucked up????? #like 'OP felt pain which means he's unworthy/not a real prime/not a true leader' #ok so you think that there's a hierarchy of moral goodness in which anyone who falls short of that Moral Ideal should suffer #as a sign of their unworthiness?? like does that not sound dystopian as hell to any of you?? why would you WANT the matrix to work like tha #even if the theory were true (which it isn't) why would you view the matrix as a good authoritative moral judge of character #if its idea of 'moral judgement' is to inflict pain on anyone who's supposedly not truly good/worthy #wasn't the entire point of the ending of LL (including rodimus being a good leader) that everyone is worth it? #like rodimus literally said 'you ARE damn well good enough' or something like that #so what? everyone else in the universe tries their best and that's enough but somehow when OP suffers it's like #a sign that he's not actually a good prime/leader?? we're really going with the punitive perspective purely for One Guy?? #swear to god ppl are projecting their authority issues onto Optimus the way they shit on him for things they would excuse #if any other character did it #Optimus is uniquely deserving of pain/being marked as unworthy bc idk he was a cop once and that offends my delicate sensibilities #what's even funnier is how much harm was inflicted by rodimus as a captain sheerly due to his stupidity or ego but everyone forgives him #i guess bc as long as the matrix likes him that means he's valid no matter what he actually does as a person #WHICH IS SOMETHING IDW ITSELF ARGUED AGAINST BC A LOT OF THE PRIMES THAT WERE CHOSEN BY THE MATRIX #WERE DICKS AND THE FACT THEY COULD WIELD THE MATRIX DIDN'T MAKE THEM GOOD PEOPLE #like oh my god stop using the matrix as an arbiter of moral authority in idw1 it literally goes against the themes of the story #including the themes that are embodied in rodimus himself #idw op love

sharing this here too! because i am still ~on my bullshit~

#dndads #dndads spoilers #kasey rambles #sparrow oak garcia #i keep going through the tags and cringing so badly #its not even hard for me to continue to be a sparrow apologist btw #like i simply remember that sparrow was 20 when he had hero and under an immense amount of pressure #from literally everyone in his entire life #to birth the chosen one and save the world from a mess that he and his brother made #and then i think about how its obvious sparrow learned from his mistakes and is actively working to be better #and im like yeah! i forgive him. #is he the best father? no. but he's better than ppl give him credit for

I 100% believe that Lark is Normals bio dad.

#the parallels #the fact that normal is just like henry #the fact that the chosen one is the first born of the one who released the doodler (lark) #if hes genuinely not i will be shocked #the most apathetic cynical paranoid man makeing a loving forgiving sweet kid #dndads theory #dndads #dungeons and daddies #normal oak #lark oak

I think the reason Rune puts so much effort into the temple of Bhaal despite not caring that much is because he's desperately trying to make himself care. Like, he knows his purpose, he knows his fate is inevitable, he knows what's being asked of him, so he does it. He puts in So Much Effort (when he's on the clock) because he's so desperate to find meaning in it. But he's Bhaal's favored son without even trying and its boring. Like any passion, when its work, it's Work.

#not fallout #kal talks #bg3 #rune #Rune planning multiple heists with extremely high stakes: maybe this will make me care #i think he's envious of Orin's devotion #like he fully does believe she should be bhaal's chosen instead of him #hes like man :/ this is just a job #in this context i think the prayer for forgiveness is kind of along the lines of like... #i know what my purpose is and im committed to it because what choice do i have but my piety is kind of a sham and i dont want anyone to #catch on #hence the reason he forms such a rapport with gortash #like thank god(s) someone who doesnt follow bhaal. like hes not NORMAL but at least i dont have to pretend around him #oops daddy disapproves

brb im gonna go find a place to Scream

#im playing omori #let's just say that final fight with omori did not do good things to my mental state #idk by that point the emotional experience was really weird cuz like #i the player (desperately) want sunny to have nice things #but also like if i were sunny i would not fucking be able to forgive myself and like #what's that orv quote. the effects of the 4th wall are reduced due to excessive immersion. yeah that was me at that point #i guess lesson learned is if you're playing omori and you start using 'i' and 'sunny' interchangeably you're in for a Bad Time #like there were MANY points in the omori fight when i was like 'this man is making some good points' and he's #trying to convince sunny to kill himself so yknow. having a GREAT time with that one #also when the 'do you want to continue yes no' screen came up i sent it to my friend like haha what if i chose no #cuz i THOUGHT it was just gonna be like. when you die in a fight you either retry or load a save yeah i thought it was just gonna be like #a mechanical thing #then she said are you sure bc that's gonna have Consequences #and i'd already chosen yes bc. again. i want sunny to have nice things. also i GENUINELY meant that as a joke #so i was like. hold on what the FUCK is that supposed to mean #so. yayyyy #omori spoilers

"Cut her."

Two words, barely more than a whisper. Almost quiet enough to get lost underneath the crying and praying and pleading.

Almost, but not quite, all eyes in the room suddenly focusing on Rhysand with a mixture of emotions behind them. Shock, sorrow, outrage. But he didn't turn his own gaze away from Majda, who grimaced at his answer.

'Your wife, or your heir. You will not have both.'

"Rhys-" Mor began, discomfort palpable. He only held up a hand, however, silencing her easily. Tension lined his body- the scent of Feyre's blood would be saturated in the walls for weeks. They were on borrowed time.

"It's what she would choose. Our son is who she would choose. Cut her."

One beat.

Another.

Chaos, suddenly, the noise increasing tenfold as everyone fought to let their opinion be heard. Louder than all of that, though, slicing through the cacophony, was a snarl so vicious it sounded more animal than fae.

Elain.

Elain, not Nesta, had her teeth bared in a snarl, feet planted firmly in front of Feyre's birthing bed.

"You will not touch her."

#low-key high-key based off that house of dragons show I'm never going to watch #i kind of want to do a proper one shot of this #rhysand proving that he would've chosen Nyx over feyre #and Elain and Nesta ready to rend the night court to ash for their sister #absolutely love the idea of fae being feral for their family #Elain has killed a king before a high Lord is no different #nesta would gladly help #they just take feyre and dip somewhere that gives her actual autonomy and doesn't have backwards ass medical practices #Feyre never forgives Rhys for this either #like ever #anti acosf #anti rhysand #anti inner circle #pro elain archeron #elain archeron deserves better #i refuse to hate elain based off sjms horrible writing y'all #nesta archeron derserves better #feyre archeron deserves better

oh we love to see gale say 'you might be onto something' when rain says mystra is probably manipulating him. that's growth

#i thought he was going to be mad at rain for suggesting that #i know i'm literally playing a character that's sleeping with a god in my dnd game so like i can't really judge gale #but mystra's thing with gale always seemed a little manipulative to me #telling him he's chosen and all and then throwing him out after one fuck up #only to come back and be like 'no i'll forgive you if you kill yourself' when she could definitely probably fix him pretty easily #and just hasn't until now when it's suddenly useful to her does she decide to have someone come put a pause on gale's impending death #like if we meet her rain is going to give her a piece of his mind #fel's bg3 #oc: rain #at least asmodeus is straight forward with celeste #and weirdly more forgiving than mystra lmao

ayo quess who hasn't died yet (surprisingly)

Someone's muse once likened getting BJ to trust them like trying to grab a feral kitten by the scruff and... yes. True.

#made me laugh and filled me with fondness #they're right. he is like a feral cat you have to coax out. #but once you've been chosen by him you are His Person and he will forgive most anything for the sake of having you around #it. is not very healthy sometimes but it is what it is. bj doesnt know a lot about its like to be loved but he loves so so so so hard #out of fairy tales [ooc]; #someone go pspspspsps #*about what its like #autocorrect pls you don't even make sense
