Just replayed chapters 12-16 so my friend could see what happens and like

I am even more confused.

Why did Barbatos drop us in Mammon's room?

What the actual fuck was up with the Levi who walked in on us in Lilith's old room and told us Belphie was playing hide and seek with us??????

Why were there two Lucifer's walking around the HoL???

Why couldn't MC see the door to the attic?

Did Lilith actually lend us her power and thats why we committed mitosis so there where two of us or is that maybe what really awoke our powers??

Barbatos changed REALITY????

Nevermind timeline fucking, man really just decided to change the actual reality we live in. Alright.

Did Barbatos use his powers to copy paste an uninjured us at the bottom of the stairs???

Does that mean that when BB chose the new reality the injured us who hadn't actually died yet got erased or are they just off somewhere dying alone?????

If the us that was at the bottom of the stairs was uninjured does that mean they were healed or that they never got hurt by Belphie to begin with???

Did Barbatos and Diavolo really walk in with all the answers and pretend like they didn't send us to the past to get almost killed when that was completely unnecessary?

Also it really seems like Barbatos just dumped us in a different reality because the dialogue while we're in Levi's room with Lucifer is not the same as the first time we were in there.

And I know we got put at a time where Diavolo hadn't charged Belphegor with treason yet but did he really just show up and act like he had nothing to take accountability for????

Honestly at this point I don't think theres even a way to come up with concrete answers and I don't really want to debate these events so I'm really just screaming at the wall but like

Oh my gosh why did they have to do those chapters like that??? Was it really too hard to have to try and deal with devildom politics to the point a nonsensical time travel arc was the better option? Really?

#screaming into my personal void #incentive's thots #obey me spoilers #we've beat ch 16 with too many brooms just let it die #all of this is rambling nonsense except that MC wasn't dead when they got poofed #the way they're talking about them doesn't suggest mc is dead yet just very injured #while I'm on the subject Lilith hadn't died yet either thats the enitre reason Dia could reincarnate her #because god sentenced her entire being to being erased so if she died her soul probably would have been destroyed on the spot #thats all for my 3 am ted talk goodbye

E.A.T. Prologue infomine

Alright, as before:

Bear in mind this is NOT a translation. This is an infomine. I am sharing only the basic info. There’s a lot about the story in terms of tone and characterization that will be missing until I get to a full translation.

Scene 1

Ron is inside the “fat man’s” room, maintaining a miraculous thing inside it that’s neither lifeless nor alive, and gives off a phosphorescent green light that kills anyone who’s in the room for too long (pretty sure it’s some radioactive material). His job is to maintain it because if the light goes out the theater will crash (it appears to be their source of power), and he’s the only one who can survive being near it, given his curse of always regenerating (note, his flesh is largely destroyed by the radiation when he leave the room but starts growing back within minutes).

Oh, and dead soldiers are now being called “dead servants”.

When Ron is finished with his work he heads out, the theater now silent when it was noisy before. He is greeted by his underling Fry Kitchen, who has the head of a chicken and uses “ssu” in his sentences like Chartette (though in hiragana not katakana—he also uses the more working class personal pronoun of asshi). He cheerfully informs Ron that all the other dead soldiers were killed by a hero troupe who invaded the theater (Ron’s not surprised so I guess this was going on while he was working).

Fry is the weakest of them, but he survived through Lich’s help (Lich is still alive).

Ron goes to talk to Lich, who is outside the theater.

Apparently they are not longer in the world of “Giants battling with beastmen” (I think the world at the end of Heavenly). They’re in a different world now.

Scene 2

A bit of exposition on Ron (wandered the earth for ages, now works for Banica, etc).

The new world they are in has wind, the sky is blue, and the scenery appears little changed from the world they were just in save for that it’s covered in the ruins of a crumbled civilization. It seems barren but there is apparently some life left in it.

They see a black bird flying towards them with a girl riding its back. The bird turns out to be a transformed Lich. They open the front door for him.

The girl said nothing while they spoke, and she has a horn on her forehead.

Scene 3

It’s ambiguous how long it’s been since Heavenly—Ron’s narrative implies it could have been a day or several years.

Ron meets with Lich (now humanoid again) in the main hall, getting him some water. Lich doesn’t need to eat, but he does need water, or his mud body will dry up and become unable to move. Also, he can take moisture from food through his makeshift digestive system, and taste things.

Ron asks about the girl, who is sleeping in a guest room Fry set up. He’s anxious because of what happened with Jarre from the giants world (I guess it was his hero troupe that killed everyone). Lich is unconcerned because he can make them new bodies, but when Ron asks about it he gets a little testy and takes him up to his room.

Inside was a beastman (or rather, demi-human) like Fry, someone covered in white fur with two big ears. It’s the rabbit(bunny?) hero Jarre. asleep/unconscious. Ron’s comments make it sound like Jarre betrayed them at the last minute.

Lich explains that it’s not Jarre’s soul in that body anymore, but Pollo. Cue some exposition on how Arte and Pollo had killed Ron, who used to be human. Lich tells Ron that he failed to account for the fact that the mud he uses to make the bodies only exists in Evillious, and their supply was destroyed during the attack. So Jarre’s body was the only one he could put Pollo in.

The same was true for Fry—he was a beastman from the world they were just in. After the giants killed him, Lich put him back in his original body to make him a dead servant as an experiment.

Lich has done the same with Eater and Arte, who are in the next room, using the bodies of Jarre’s friends. Ron asks about Banica, and Lich decides to take him to the clocktower (the cockpit of the theater) to discuss the matter with Seth.

Scene 4

Some repeat exposition on Seth (he claims he’s Lich’s friend, Lich denies it).

When they get in the cockpit, Seth is there in his mask form (which surprises Ron). Lich explains that while ordinarily they would need lots of people to run the ship, Seth actually built the theater so that it could be operated by him alone if need be. They needed to get him a new body when Jarre killed him, but they didn’t have time or resources to do it, so Lich merged the soul archive housing his spirit data with the ship—Seth is now the theater itself.

Seth asks if Lich will give him one of the beastmen bodies they have in storage now that the danger is over, but Lich refuses, saying he doesn’t have one prepared (Seth accuses him of just being mean). The two of them bicker for a bit, and Ron reflects on how he doesn’t get the relationship between them.

Lich then decides to get to the point, saying their goal of finding new food for Banica has to be put on hold for now.

Scene 5

This is just repeat exposition on Banica and what’s led up to now.

Scene 6

As Lich says, they were all killed off by the beastmen. Jarre sliced Ron down himself (but Ron regenerated). But they were all souls to begin with. As long as the “soul archive” they have in the theater isn’t destroyed, they can be revived again and again. Lich ran out of mud to make bodies with, so he used the beastmen bodies instead. This worked for everyone—except Banica.

Apparently there’s a difference in quality between Banica’s souls and everyone else’s. Lich, Arte, Pollo, Eater, and Seth all have souls closer to gods. Banica’s soul was originally that of a normal human. Her soul had special qualities while she’d contracted with Vlad, but now that he’s escaped and didn’t come with them, her soul is now human again.

There are ways to revive her, but it’s tricky. He could make a body with mud, but they don’t have any. And they can’t go back to Evillious because of “Ma’s Ghost”. That is—when they first started dimension hopping, they had issues and almost crashed. Lich investigated and determined this to be a result of Ma’s Ghost. He’s not entirely sure what’s going on there or what it is exactly, but apparently it tries to destroy anything that attempts to enter the Evillious world.

The other option they have is to find Banica’s alter ego. This is out of Lich’s expertise so Seth offers to take over, but Lich refuses, claiming he’ll be too long-winded and sesquipedalian. The alter ego will probably be different from Banica in every way, but her soul will be of the same quality. And so, there’s a good chance that Banica can use their body.

Lich is certain the girl he brought back is Banica’s alter ego, in this world of “Angels and Demons”. He’s certain because he analyzed the Akashic Record (not sure what he means by that, and Ron doesn’t understand either).

Ron is uncertain if they have the right to kill the girl to bring Banica back. Lich brushes him off, but while Ron accepts that they are “close to gods” and thus the rules don’t apply to them, he’s different. Lich argues with him, but Ron isn’t convinced.

He’d already become an undead when Banica contracted, so he couldn’t stop her from falling to evil. Still, he wants to avoid the same thing happening again.

Back before he joined her, he had the option of going through the gate to be reincarnated. But he doesn’t know if his curse would be lifted if he went through. Some of the people who went through were once his family, but he feels like it’s been too long now (and their memories were erased upon reincarnating anyway).

Ron argues that he knows the suffering of never being able to die. He argues about that with Lich (whether it’s the right thing, to bring Banica back to life or not), when Seth interjects that it’s best to ask the person they’re talking about.

He’s put Banica in a red cat body, implied to be a replica of the one he made for Irina, until they can get her in her alter ego’s body. Ron is happy she simply has a body at all, but she’s far from pleased with it (also this body requires moisture to function properly, so we can assume that’s why Irina was able to drink milk as well).

Banica ponders taking her alter ego’s body, not minding her looks but finding her blindness to be an issue.

Lich turns on a monitor in the cockpit that shows a map of the world they’re in, explaining it’s one of the Third Period’s parallel worlds, and is very physically similar to it. The race that rules it (or used to) are demons—though he clarifies they are not like the demons of Evillious, and are more just a race that is called demons. A race called angels fought against them, though they’ve either died out or they’ve gone behind the theater’s reach. He only knows they’re humanoids with wings on their backs because the girl (Baamu Kuuren —Berm? Balm? Barm? Kulen? I don’t know) mistook him for one.

Lich also explains he can turn into a bird partially as a result of running an experiment on himself when putting the others in beastmen bodies to make sure that there wouldn’t be any rejections (not totally sure I’ve understood that correctly).

Banica notes that if the girl is a demon, and she thought he was an angel, it’s weird that she trusted him. Lich chalks it up to her being helpless and seeking salvation, and also his natural charisma. –Before revealing he’s joking and that he expects her to try and stab him in the back.

Balm is the imperial princess of the (Puraashino) Empire that ruled the demons. She is the only member of her family who survived the war with the angels, and it was apparently an angel that burned her eyes.

Lich asks for permission to kill her so they can use it as Banica’s body (note—Banica occasionally claws Lich’s face during this scene), but Banica wants him to fix the issue with her eyes first. Lich and Seth argue a little—Lich plans to use one of the beastmen bodies as material for the eyes, but Seth argues that’s a bad idea because they’re from another dimension.

Lich leaves to begin on his work. Ron asks Banica if she’s really going to steal that girl’s body, and she asks him what he would do if he found his alter ego. He can’t answer.

Scene 7

As Seth foretold, Lich can’t fix the eye problem using the beastmen bodies even after several days.

Ron is setting out milk for Banica in the main room, and Fry is bemoaning what a brat Balm is. She’s plucked the feathers on his arm. He also says something about her horn? (I think that it has some kind of tactile sense of things, despite her being blind?)

As Banica is musing over putting the girl to work, Arte and Pollo (both bunny beastmen) come in, followed by Eater, now an enormous Asian black bear, carrying lumber. As they get to work, Banica explains to Ron that she’s been thinking since the whole thing with Jarre happened. Now that she’s lost her demon powers, she shouldn’t be picking fights with people from other dimensions willy-nilly like that. So she’s converting the main hall into a restaurant (it’s not like Evils Theater 2 has a theater room anyway), I guess to better fit in with the other worlds they go to. Ron laughs because this is very like her.

Ron wonders if she’ll have Balm cook, since Banica only has two at her disposal (Eater and Arte) and they both have other duties as well. Banica is confident that Balm can cook, being another version of herself. And, she’ll have a mentor.

At that, she summons a dog beastman wearing a white chef’s hat. She calls him Mister Dog, and tells him to teach Balm how to cook. He agrees and leaves, and when Ron asks where he came from, Banica says that he’s always been here (it’s Carlos, guys).

There’s a bit of thought on why Ron accompanied Banica this time, that it’s not entirely out of loyalty. When he saw her again she greeted him as though the last few hundred years had never happened and told him all about her travel plans. He’d never traveled with her before, as he had to watch the house. It actually made him slightly envious whenever she would come home and tell him about it.

They had finished talking, and to sum up the convo basically he decided to go on the journey with her he couldn’t do all those centuries ago. Though he’s still not sure entirely why even now.

hello. i've just started glee (lol i know i'm super late) and i'm obsessed with klaine. could you explain why you don't like season 6 klaine? should i not watch it

First off - welcome to the Klaine fandom! Its never too late to join. I’m pretty sure as long as this show is streaming somewhere, new people will be discovering it all the time. I myself am notorious for wandering into a show after 3 or 4 seasons - Modern Family, Supernatural, 24 - are some prime examples of shows I was late to the party to and then lost my mind catching up on. Secondly - congratulations on having excellent taste! 😉 Klaine is really the only thing worth remembering Glee for.

With regards to your question about season 6? Well, I’m not sure where you are in terms of episodes and seasons and I don’t want to spoil anything for you if you don’t want to know, so consider the rest of this post as one giant spoiler. I would also never want to dissuade someone from watching, so please keep in mind this is just my opinion on things. I watched through to the end as did all of my fellow Klainers here so its doable. Its just not the easiest or prettiest thing.

**********Spoilers below************

I think for me, the word that comes to mind most and sums season 6 up best is waste. They were utterly and completely wasted in those final 13 episodes. These were going to be the last eps we were going to get with them and my reaction week after week was “tick tock bitches, where’s my Klaine?” Their storyline - if you can even call it that - went nowhere. People’s opinions on season 6 varied - some liked it, some like me loathed almost every moment of it, some disliked it as it aired but have mellowed since - but I think one thing we could all pretty much agree on is that no one wanted to go back to Lima. Doing that erased any forward momentum they gathered during the last half of season 5 episodes when they finally dumped all the dead weight holding this show back and concentrated solely on an NYC arc. As off kilter as those eps felt Klaine-wise, at least they were interesting and a move in the right direction. Watching Blaine waste away in Lima alone for all of season 4 and then ¾ of season 5 pissed me off to no end. It shouldn’t have taken so long to get him and Kurt back in the same place and I’m not going to get off on a rant here about how they never should have been separated in the first place. I could write a dissertation on how that one decision - de-aging Blaine and making him a junior - was the dumbest fucking thing this show ever did. And considering the dumbass decisions this show made along the way, that is really saying something. But I digress. They ended season 5 in such a good place relationship wise that to decide to break them up again in the season premiere and then have their story grind to a halt for 7 episodes before they got married was a knife to my heart week after week. Breaking them up in a cold cruel flashback was bad enough. Having Blaine be so upset that he was kicked out of the school he worked so hard to get into, his so-called friends forgot all about his existence and he had nothing and no one to lean on so he had to move back home to Ohio was terrible. But the worst of the worst - Blaine and DK. That was an unforgivable sin as far as I’m concerned. It goes against everything that makes Blaine Blaine and was nothing but a giant glowing middle finger from RIB to the Klaine fandom. To bring back a character that was not missed, not even mentioned during season 4 and only once in season 5 and placing him in a romantic relationship with the soulmate of the boy he physically and emotionally abused for months on end was in the most appalling taste possible. It was deliberately aimed at our fandom by RIB as the ultimate “fuck you.” Nothing more because they are petty little assholes. Every single time he was within 50 feet of Blaine or god forbid touched him, my soul died a little. The Blaine I know and adore would never ever ever in a million years look at him and see anything but the guy who drove Kurt to Dalton because he feared for his life. And Kurt? He realized he fucked up, left NYC to come back to Lima for Blaine and then…nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. He spent more time as Rachel’s god damned cheerleader than he did trying to woo Blaine back, which would have been the only redeeming piece of them being apart. Because it had to come from Kurt. He was the one who ended things; Blaine never wanted to leave. So the apology and reasons and the heartfelt declarations of love that we are accustomed to coming from Blaine had to come from Kurt to make this worthwhile. But sadly, like every other aspect of season 6, they fumbled this too. Badly. They danced around each other awkwardly for 7 episodes and nothing was accomplished or moved forward. I can’t get into an angry rant here about their wedding; I will be here all damn night. I have made my feelings crystal clear about that already during many a rage post, but let’s just say that ep may be the biggest disappointment I have ever experienced tv wise. Nothing was theirs, nothing about the wedding had anything to do with them as a couple. They were a throw in and then thrown aside just as quickly. Their 30 second “reunion” if you can even call it that after 7 eps of pure hell was yet another slap in the face. Blaine’s “there’s no one else” was everything that he needed to hear from Kurt and a small novel of explanation more. But no. We weren’t gifted with one of those trademark heart to hearts that we got during season 3; those convos that separated them from every other couple on this show and made me believe that even though they were so young, they really were meant to be. And then once they were married, they disappeared. Sure they were around physically, but that’s it. Dalton burns down and Klaine is given fuck all to do story-wise. A place that held so much importance for them as a couple was destroyed as a plot device and their reaction was limited to Blaine’s sad puppy eyes at the beginning of the ep. We got one sentence from Kurt in some ep I can’t remember about Blaine getting into NYU for the next semester and that was the extent of their future plans. They never had a conversation about moving back and what they would look like, what that would entail in terms of living arrangements and how they would do better as a couple now that they know what they have and how much they don’t want to lose each other again. Nothing, Season 6 should have built upon 5x20 and culminated in their wedding. We should have gotten wedding planning and vows and honeymoon destination discussions and ring shopping and they should have had a wedding that reflected who they are as a couple. It should not have been a means to end so Glee could show off their super awesome double gay wedding that managed to unite 2 fandoms that generally don’t get along in their utter dislike. Congrats - RIB managed to craft an ep where 2 fan favorite couples got married that was panned by both fandoms. That takes a special level of obliviousness.

More newbies introduced in season 6 that no one needed and just took up valuable time that could have been put to Klaine or wrapping up the stories from the already bloated original cast. I wasn’t going to invest myself in characters with an expiration date, so spending endless time on them was time I wasn’t going to get back. Everyone and their mother propping Rachel up and telling her how great she is, how much of a star she is, and how nothing that’s happened to her could possibly be her fault because she is perfect was infuriating. Pointless duets between her and Sam when we all knew their weird sudden relationship wasn’t going anywhere. Having Mr. Schue and Coach Sue getting as many duets as Klaine did during season 6 is a sentence I should never type but I just did. Neither Kurt nor Blaine getting a solo at all. My god, how the fuck did that happen? Why did that happen? It was like they went out of their way to screw Kurt and Blaine as individual characters and and as a couple. Having an entire episode centered on some bratty preteen who sang more than Klaine did. Having 2 episodes without Kurt and Blaine at all and the only reason they threw Blaine into the 2009 flashback was because people flipped the fuck out at the idea of him not being in a 3rd episode out of 13.

There’s a reason why during 3 @comewatchklaine rewatches, the only full ep from season 6 we watched was 6x13, the series finale. Some kind soul pulled together the Klaine bits from eps 5 and on and all of that was only about 40 minutes long. 40 minutes. 40 minutes worth of Klaine in like 7 episodes and that doesn’t include the first 4 because those were a complete waste. The locker scene and flash forward were the only bits that felt authentically Klaine to me. That is what I choose to remember because the rest of it taints this show to me.

So long story long, that is why I loathe and despise season 6 as a whole. I’m sorry I don’t have more positive things to say. Please don’t take my words as a reason to skip the end - if you want to watch, go ahead. I would never want to be why someone missed out on something they might enjoy. Season 6 could have and should have been amazing; so amazing that saying goodbye to them would have been heartbreaking. Instead, I was glad I got to see them get married and that they got the happy ending they deserved, but that was about it. If that’s how little this show thought of them at that point, I was glad to see it end. I will always be grateful that it gave me Klaine because I will love them always. I will never forgive them, though, for the appalling way they were treated and its why I make a concerted effort to avoid anything RIB has a hand in now and in the future.

#klaine #still hate season 6 with a fiery passion #I guess not enough time has healed this wound #anonymous

[神なる君と] Spirit duo - Yuzuru

Hmm I think the recommended order of the routes is: Narumi -> Yuzuru -> Yakumo -> Rei (-> Mikoto). So I kind of spoiled part of Yuzuru’s story by doing Yakumo first. But I wanted to do the two osananajimi routes one right after the other to get a good comparison. Also this route proves why Yakumo will always be my hero, even though he himself doesn’t feel confident enough to fulfil the role.

-Ninokami Yuzuru-

Yes I know your name is spelled with a 「づ」 not a 「ず」, but ‘Yuduru’ just sounds incredibly stupid to my English-speaking brain, so...

Yuzuru is the president of the student body and Yakumo’s close friend and classmate. It was revealed in Yakumo’s route that several hundred years ago, he saved a Takekiyo ancestor from being a human sacrifice by giving him a medicine that brought him back from the dead - thereby extending the curse to the kid’d descendants. Now here we get the full story:

Yuzuru was once a God (his surname ‘Ninokami’ is a dead giveaway), he came to earth and befriended a child (Yakumo’s ancestor). Later he found out that the child would be sacrificed to prevent the Great Demon’s curse, so he tried to persuade him to run away, but the child refused. So in the end the villagers got their sacrificial ceremony, and Yuzuru stole a forbidden medicine from Heaven and brought the child back to life.

For that he was punished, stripped of his godly powers and banished to earth as a demon. A blizzard started happening around the same time that lasted many years and claimed many lives (by famine), and the humans totally thought it was his fault for saving the boy (even though he did it after the fact so there was no conflict). The villagers locked him up in a dungeon and tortured him for many decades. At first he believed that the boy he saved would come and rescue him, but he gradually lost hope, and finally when the boy (now an old man) came to save him, he had already reached misanthropy level 900...

As part of his punishment, he is supposed to perform community service on earth and accumulate enough karma to restore his godly powers and return to Heaven. So he’s been happily (well, deep down angrily) doing that for a few hundred years, until Sakuya and co. came along. Early on in the route, Sakuya was confronted by the baleful spirits who died during the famine, who asked her to avenge their death by killing *a certain demon* (ahem *Yuzuru*).

Not knowing who they are talking about, she went to Yuzuru for help, and ofc he refused. So then she went back to negotiate with the spirits and they started attacking her like crazy. Yuzuru saved her and healed her, using up all his karma in the process, so now he has to start over from zero. He decides to start a new life, so he erases everybody’s memories (yes he can do that) and disappears without a trace.

The next day Sakuya goes to school and enters the *Twilight Zone*, because nobody knows/remembers ‘Yuzuru-senpai’, and there’s no record of him ever existing. Finally she found Yakumo who also remembers the poor bastard. Yakumo speculates that those closest to him have memories that are too strong to be erased by his memory-erasing powers. They hold a group meeting to try to find him, but in the meantime time is of the essence because even their memories are fading...

Yakumo-nii-san totally came to our rescue in this route ｯ(ﾉω･､)ﾟ.+°

Sakuya goes to Mikoto for help, and he takes her to the Ancient God who placed the curse on Yuzuru. For some reason the Ancient God takes the form of Yorihito the stone hound with evil eyes and has a disembodied robot voice. But anyway. The Ancient God tells her Yuzuru’s whole history, and she decides to return his act of grace by helping him return to Heaven.

She eventually finds Yuzuru and latches on to him like a stage-5 clinger because she’s scared he’ll disappear again. Then, with the help of Aki and Fuu-san’s tools, she goes back to find the baleful spirits and successfully sends them off to be reincarnated. This drained a lot of her powers and she fell sick for a while, until Narumi notices something is wrong and her life is at risk.

She goes back to the Ancient God, who tells her that the bad energy from the spirits is slowly eating away at her, and she will die in a few years - unless Yuzuru gives up all his supernatural powers to heal her, and becomes a regular human. So she doesn’t have to die, and he can stay on earth with her. Two birds with one stone, how convenient, you can’t make this stuff up... except Otomate totally did rofl XD.

(Also somebody probably should’ve told her this stuff before she went and saved those evil spirits huh.)

All this talk about the impenetrability of Fate is frankly kind of ironic in a ‘choose your own ending’ visual novel.

So Sakuya doesn’t want to keep Yuzuru from returning to Heaven. She tries to come to terms with the fact that she’s going to die... when Yuzuru found out about all this from Narumi, and decides to give up all his powers to save her. He takes her to a hilltop on hoshimatsuri night and gives her the Kiss of Death Life.

In the good end he gets a job after graduation at the same government agency as Aki and is responsible for watching over the peace of Mikagurayama. He asks Sakuya to move in with him (she agrees ofc), and they get married after a few years. (She also gives him a badly knit scarf but whatever.) I didn’t make enough save states so I couldn’t get the other/bad endings, but tbh I don’t think I’m strong enough to handle a tragedy, after everything that this route has put me through...

[Thoughts] Honestly this route is the most emotional one for me so far, I felt like I really went through an entire relationship in this short span. The common/early events were a riot. I love the back-and-forth exchanges between them - you get some of it in Narumi/Yakumo’s routes, but since they were already close to her to begin with, the later contrast/transition in the interaction is not as great.

Normal couples finish each other’s sentences, but soul mates finish each other’s tsukkomi!

In a lot of ways I felt like Yuzuru really pushed Sakuya to her limits. In Yakumo’s route she was trying to be an emotionally responsible adult, but here she’s giving her best in everything she does - whether it’s working at his store or helping out with the student government events. Also Yuzuru is the only one who’s able to force her to study lol.

And ofc the grand gesture she did risking her own life to send him back to Heaven - she has to make sacrifices in every route, but here it felt like she really did it for him and not just for love. It seemed like she forgot about herself / their future momentarily when she was just thinking of making him happy by fulfilling his wish. I thought it really fit her personality.

Yuzuru is a total sweetheart!! I already liked him in all the other routes, and his own story certainly didn’t disappoint, he honestly can do no wrong. I almost feel like saying, here, here’s an ‘asshole’ character done right - he comes across as an asshole but everything he does is incredibly sweet and selfless (a ‘sharp tongue full of love’, as they say). Unlike in some games where the do-S bastards do nothing but abuse the heroine and she somehow still ends up falling in love with them out of some Stockholm Syndrome or something. But anyway that’s another story.

One thing I noticed is that Sakuya says, ‘うれしい／うれしかった’ a lot in this route, which is proof of how happy Yuzuru made her and what a great guy he is (*/^-^)/. Seriously this game just has one great character after another, I feel like I like each one more than the last and I can’t choose!

When Sakuya told Narumi her fear of losing her memories of senpai, Narumi opened his mouth to say something, but then thought better of it... I wonder what he was about to say?

Sakuya is also extra cute in this route - the way she held Yuzuru's hand and wouldn’t let go when she finally found him, the way she got jealous that he was polite to everyone else, etc. It almost makes up for her eating up all his karma lol. Also I guess the writers are trying to avoid spoilers, but I kind of wonder what happened to Yakumo in this route, because there was no mention of his ‘condition’ here. (This route did display the epic bromance between those two, though. Even more than in Yakumo’s route.)

...At this point I only have Rei’s route left, before I get to the hidden character ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ) [ミコトさん、私を待っててくれ！]. Rei is adorable even though I don’t get the romantic feels for him (#shouta; I guess the fact that he’s unusually mature for his age makes up for it a little bit), but nonetheless (a) his story is a total mystery, and (b) I’m really curious how the writers would make his ending work, since as a ghost/wandering spirit he’s supposed to find his purpose and be sent of back to the reincarnation cycle.

Sylvie is the Secret Heart of Marvel’s Loki

https://ift.tt/3yrSYbR

This article contains LOKI spoilers.

From the very start, the existence of Marvel’s Loki series has seemed more than a little suspect. Don’t get me wrong: If Tom Hiddleston wants to do a TV show, obviously you let him do a TV show, especially if it’s as one of the few genuinely complex and multi-faceted villains that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has managed to create over its decade-plus long march to power.

But the decision to tell a story about this version of Loki – one that stole the Tesseract following the Battle of New York and disappeared from the primary MCU timeline before the bulk of his redemption arc could really kick into gear – has always felt kind of like a cheat. And, in truth, it is precisely that: A way for Marvel to narratively have its proverbial cake and eat it too, mining the emotional drama of Loki’s earned death in Avengers: Infinity War without having to lose one of the most popular actors in its stable for good.

But as Loki continues, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this story isn’t even really about Loki at all. (Or at least not the one we know.) Thanks to the concept of Variants – different versions of familiar characters whose lives have diverged from their predetermined timeline in some way – our God of Mischief is technically not even the most interesting character in the show that bears his name.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Maybe it’s the fact that the Loki in Loki is a figure whose story we’ve seen play out once already before, or perhaps it’s because this version of the character is one who exists at one of the least complex and interesting points in his own narrative. (Oh, you tried to take over the Earth? How original.) But it’s easy to be both completely fascinated by and utterly grateful for the introduction of Sylvie, a mysterious female Loki variant who’s much more than she initially appears to be and who steals every scene in which she appears.

Part of that is, of course, due to actress Sophia Di Martino, whose sharp, prickly performance is every inch the equal of Hiddleston’s more chaotic one, but grounded in a simmering, purposeful rage that immediately sets her apart. (Even if there’s really no arguing that Hiddleston’s Loki is certainly going to be the more fun of the two to hang out at the bar with.) But it’s also because, in just the space of two episodes, Sylvie has firmly established herself as Loki’s most interesting character, a woman whose existence is part tragedy, part triumph, and part meditation on the very rules of the universe itself.

Though she may share some significant similarities with “our” Loki, (including an affinity for the color green), Sylvie is very much her own person, with plenty of agency and a clearly defined agenda of her own. She is not doomed to follow in Loki’s footsteps simply because they share an identity, rather she seems especially interested in striking out on her own path and following her own set of rules. It’s the only way she’s managed to survive as long as she has.

For starters, there’s the fact that she’s called Sylvie, a name that not only sets her apart by connecting her to Marvel Comics’ second Enchantress but one that it appears she chose for herself after purposefully rejecting the Loki moniker and everything that goes along with it. She’s dyed her hair blonde, broken one of the iconic horns off her headdress, and taught herself the sort of powerful enchantment magic our Loki would have given anything to be able to use himself back in The Avengers. (It’s a version of what he used the Mind Stone for, after all.) Sylvie’s a fighter, a survivor, and clearly every inch as smart as the trickster we know. But it’s the way her story deviates from Loki’s that makes her so compelling to watch – and essentially establishes her as Loki’s emotional center.

Marvel’s Loki Reveals How the Universe Craves Chaos

By Alec Bojalad

Loki Episode 4 Theories: Who Created the TVA?

By Gavin Jasper

Born as the Goddess of Mischief on an Asgard that looks a lot like the one we know, Sylvie received a visit from the Time Variance Authority when she was just a child, charging her with crimes against the Sacred Timeline and essentially sentencing her to die. Though she escaped the TVA before she could be purged from the timeline forever, her entire life since has been spent on the run, being persecuted by a faceless group of bureaucrats who want to kill her for something that occurred when she was just a kid – the consequence of a decision she still can’t identify. (And which her persecutors no longer even remember.)

Sylvie grew up living in the literal shadow of death to stay alive, with worlds burning down all around her, no place she could call home, and few friends. (And if she somehow ever managed to make any, they were basically doomed to die pretty soon thereafter.) This is some pretty dark stuff for Marvel, and it’s hard not to feel sympathy for the nonstop nightmare her life has been up to this point. Particularly when compared to Loki, who has attempted genocide multiple times over the sort of family-driven angst that could probably be solved with a good therapist.

Though his time-looped interaction with Lady Sif forces Loki to confront the fact that his aggressive narcissism barely papers over the gaping emotional hole in his own soul, it’s difficult to argue that his inner sadness is enough to justify the terrible things he’s done to others. (Which, let’s face it, goes well beyond cutting off Sif’s hair.) And his various family issues pale in comparison to what Sylvie’s been forced to face, and she’s never tried to commit genocide or enslave a planet by way of acting out.

Yes, she’s controlled minds and killed multiple TVA agents and neither of those things are great from a moral perspective. But those are also the same people who considered her an aberration and wanted her dead, so on some level, it’s hard to blame her. Even her supposedly villainous plan to bomb the timeline and bring down the TVA isn’t about claiming their power for herself – which, let’s not forget was our Loki’s first impetus – it’s about finally getting the chance to rest for the first time since the home she knew was literally erased from existence. How can you not root for that in some way? Doesn’t she deserve a chance at something like peace?

Of course, your mileage may vary on how well you think Loki depicts Sylvie’s journey compared to Loki’s own, or the value that the world of the show attaches to each. But she is certainly treated more directly as a villain, at least in the show’s initial episodes. (From the moment Loki arrives at the TVA, Mobius is basically his cheerleader. Has Sylvie ever experienced something similar?) And yet, she’s still trying to free herself and her fellow Variants – who don’t even know they’re enslaved – from the rule of an organization that has never cared about any of them.

Sure, figuring out what’s up with an alligator sporting tiny Loki horns will undoubtedly be entertaining to watch. But it’s the conclusion of Sylvie’s story that looms as the most exciting part of Loki’s final two episodes – what does her life look like if she succeeds? If she can finally stop running? If the Time Keepers aren’t real and the TVA no longer has power over her or anyone like her? If she truly can be Sylvie for once instead of a doomed, somehow lesser version of Loki – that’s a future that looks pretty limitless to me.

Vriska is irredeemable. She sexual assaulted tav (mspaint 004280), mentally manipulated him into wanting to date him which can also be seen as sexual assault (004283), crippled him, then constantly made abused him/made life hell for him (a whole bunch but 004251 really encapsulates them all), mind controls sollux into killing aradia, physiclay scars terezi for life in a move which, as far as she knew, would be a death sentence on a planet like Alternia /1

Creates jack, directly leading to a bunch more deaths. Experiments with Jade to try and get better at mind controlling humans, being directly responsible for all the times she fell asleep, which is a major source of jades depression. Sleeps John when he is trying to get Jade into the game, nearly killing Jade and forcing Bec to prototype himself, which is another source of grief for Jade and causes a bunch more problems for the human players (004827). /2

She is obsessed with Mindfangs journal, who was a rapist, slave owner and murderer. She specifically wants to imitate her life, which is why she peruses relationships with tav, eridan and kanaya. I'm bringing this up because in said book Mindfang RAPES the dolorosa and, again, Vriska wants to imitate mindfang in every way (005407). After her death and brief time as a sprite, we get a whole bunch more abuse and mental manipulation aimed at tav (006740) /3

Then she and Aranea straight up commit genocide by mind controlling a bunch of unwilling sentient beings into acting as bait for the god of death (007857). That's enough for now, i might come back and do more analysis on the last acts, but as you have pointed out before, being an abuse victim doesn't give you a free pass on doing shitty things, and this isn't even half of the abusive things she's done. Vriska is abusive and should not be allowed near terezi or anyone else, I'm glad shes dead /4

I’m not justifying or erasing the awful things Vriska has done, and I, too, hated her for the longest time. However, this entire summary of Vriska’s actions doesn’t bring up Doc Scratch’s (the literal evil omniscient pedophile that worked for Lord English) manipulation of Vriska or the fact that she was forced to kill others from birth or be eaten alive by her lusus. It doesn’t take into account Vriska being an abuse victim, like you briefly referenced, which is an essential part of her character that I missed out while first reading Homestuck, and thus why I despised her acting horrible for what I deemed as “no reason.”

You don’t have to love Vriska. Her actions were barbaric, yes, but they were ultimately necessary to ensure that her timeline wasn’t doomed. A Vriska that wouldn’t have created Jack or mind controlled everyone to fight against Lord English would have cursed everyone to die. She’s even so essential to the story as a whole that Terezi made John bring her back. Her existence is the retcon.

As well, Mindfang being a slave owner and rapist doesn’t automatically mean that Vriska should be viewed the same way-- parents aren’t automatically their children, and it was wrong for her to idolize Mindfang, but within the context of Alternian culture, where you must be strong and kill to survive, it’s quite understandable. Her looking up to Mindfang also harms Vriska, dude, because she’s not Mindfang no matter how much she wants to be, and she cannot force herself to harm and murder without guilt and shame (remember that Vriska is WRECKED afterwards by her maiming of her friends and regrets it to the point that she allows Robo Aradia to nearly beat her to death) or be sexually interested in men.

Vriska assaulted Tavros, yeah! Her and Tavros had an incredibly toxic relationship and if those were the only moments we saw of Vriska, I’d completely despise her. Reading those panels for the first time was gut-wrenchingly horrible. I remember that experience clearly. Yet, Tavros forgives her. Just like Terezi and Aradia later do, as well. And with Terezi and Aradia, it was Doc Scratch who persuaded her to hurt them. In that panels before Vriska says she doesn’t even want to do it, but she gets told that she’s an worthless, evil person who can’t try and change fate, and thus does.

Like.... thanks for the time you put into your messages and looking up panels? Write some meta posts, if you want. But I’ve forgiven Vriska, a literal thirteen year old girl, like her victims who now consider her their friend again. Of course I still have problems with her mind-controlling the swathes of dead souls (I dunno if it would be considered genocide though, it’s indiscriminate and they’re already dead and thus cannot reproduce?) and her unwillingness to talk to and listen to Terezi on the platform, but like, I don’t blindly think she’s the worst character ever? and irredeemable? and yeah she was Tavros’ abuser, but anybody can change. I know people who bullied other kids in school / people who used to be toxic, and as long as they have guilt and remorse over what they’ve done, I don’t super hold that against them. Many young teenagers stop over others to survive. It doesn’t make any of it right, and I was bullied and was never the bully like many others, and I don’t know if I could forgive Vriska if she was real, but her in-comic victims did, and I feel that’s much more important.

I can relate to her being a wlw and also from her being abused by her mother. You can dislike her if she reminds you of your abuser / your abuser liked her, but I’m an outsider to that, lol? I’m allowed to like her and defend her. Would you or anybody else take the time to tell a Gamzee, Eridan, or Bro stan why they’re irredeemable? I’d personally say to go ahead and do so (but especially for Bro stans) but I feel like men are allowed to like male abusers in fiction without a lot of the vitriol that women get when we like female (in this case, former) abusers. Like men can stan Eridan, Komaeda, J.D., Bakugou, Light Yagami, and other horrible men, but like when it comes to the few horrible women I see tons more hatred and more people arguing with the few women who like them?

And like, for everything Vriska did, she did suffer for it. She died by the hands of her childhood best friend and became a ghost who was able to get genuine love and feel empathy that triggered her sorrow about what she’d done, which is a literal example that Vriska’s inner self and core isn’t evil, and that she can be a good person? and the hero that she’d always wanted to be? She’s not irredeemable.

One Hell of a Lucky Guy

Steroline (sort of?) AU future fic - prompt what if Caroline meet one of Stefan’s doppelgangers in the future. Chapters: 1

Chapter 2

Caroline paced around the main entrance of her school trying to make sense of the events from two days ago while downing her third cup of coffee that morning. Besides the needed caffeine intake her appetite was insatiable. She’d eaten a three egg western omelette, five pancakes, three waffles and more bacon then she’ll ever admit to. She knew she needed to chill, this was a completely normal occurrence after all, well “normal” being relative to the balance of magic and nature creating doppelgangers of the first original immortals, but normal none the less. This wasn’t even the first Stefan-ganger she’d encountered, thinking back to poor Tom Avery who ended up being a sacrificial lamb to the travelers decades ago.

However this was the first one after her Stefan had died, the man she’d love forever, her husband, and now he’d manifested in front of her eyes and as someone so different. I mean he gave her a bear hug and he had no idea what the right thing to say was and he was funny, not that Stefan was never funny but she could count on one hand the amount of jokes he actually made over eight years of knowing him.

Still lost in her thoughts Caroline was instantly startled by the abrupt opening of the boarding school door followed by a boisterous “Good morning Blondie!” that could only belong to one person.

“You know Damon you don’t actually live or work here so it would be polite to knock and not barge in like an overgrown gorilla unannounced all the time,” she scolded him knowing he wouldn’t care either way.

“But then I wouldn’t be privileged to seeing that annoyed like pout on my favorite sister-in-law’s face and then how could I start my day off in the proper way?” he smirked back at her crows feet adorning his eyes and his black hair having officially reached the ‘salt and pepper’ phase of mortality. “Anyway where’s your bourbon I’m thirsty and our house is out, apparently Elena thinks I drink too much.” He casual asks though he knows exactly where she keeps her secret stash in the main hall.

“Damon no! One it’s 10am and two Elena is right, you’re not an immortal vampire anymore with natural healing abilities and you saw what happened to Ric I don’t need you dying of live cancer too.” She said as she quickly vamped over to her locked liquor cabinet before he gets his hands on the key.

“Buzzkill” Damon murmured. Caroline rolled her eyes saying “anyway I need you sober because I have a crisis on my hands that I need to talk to you abou-” just as she was about to finish her sentence they heard a knock at the door.

“Well go answer the door for the civilized folk headmistress” as Damon bowing towards the door as she walked past him making sure to take the key to her liquor cabinet just in case.

“Let me just deal with this and then we need to tal-Oh my god Paul, um hi?!” Caroline tries to save her shock at the last second knowing this was not how she wanted Damon to find out about Paul “I um I wasn’t expecting you for another couple of days for Grace’s entrance tour did I send you the wrong date?” knowing full well there’s no way in hell she’d give out the wrong information.

Paul smiled that big toothy grin again before explaining “Nope you made it very clear Monday at 11am sharp this is completely impromptu on my part it’s just when I told Grace she was accepted she was so excited, knowing she’d get to be around kids just like her I don’t think I’ve ever even seen her that excited before” he said as his smile got even wider “so I just had to come by in person again to give you another thank you and these” as he revealed a bouquet of daises from behind his back “are for you.”

Caroline couldn’t help but blush and bite her bottom lip at the gesture. How the hell did he know daises were her favorite “these are lovely Paul and that’s so nice but so completely unnecessary” as she brought the flowers to her nose to take a quick sniff and noticed Paul taking a quick glance at her lips “I am just thrilled that Grace is so excited to join us and…” she suddenly heard a loud “AHEM!” from behind her snapping her out of her haze.

“Oh wow I’m sorry I knew I should have called first, I had no idea you already had a meeting with one of the other parents I should go” he quickly tried to retreat before Caroline looked behind her shoulder at the look of Damon’s face, the face of a guy who was looking at a ghost. Paul seemed to notice the look Damon was giving him and instantly Caroline heard his heartbeat pick up the pace wondering why this guy was looking at him like he either wanted him dead or he should be dead.

Even if this wasn’t how Caroline wanted to break the news to Damon it did give her some pleasure that it made him just as uneasy as it did her. “Oh no he’s not a parent that’s just Damon, Damon Salvatore.”

“Oh god I just made this even worse I should have known this I mean you have a ring on your finger of course you’re married and here I am bringing flowers to a married woman I really have no tact at all just I should go before I make this worse. Just please don’t take my insensitively out on Grace.” Paul quickly tried to run away as fast as he could before Caroline interjected “Oh GOD NO Damon isn’t my husband, ew” she made a nauseated shake to emphasize the point.

Paul let out a slight sigh of relief before Caroline continued “Damon is my brother-in-law, my late husband’s much much older brother, this” she points to her ring “is my widow’s ring, I had it made after he passed” she tried to smile to somehow relieve the awkwardness filling the room.

“I’m so sorry to hear that, my wife – Grace’s mom – she passed away too during childbirth” he took a slight pause before saying and Caroline realized then why things had probably been so hard on Grace her whole life. It’s one thing to lose your mother before you even meet her but knowing it was while giving birth to you is the kind of devastation no one should ever have to face especially a child.

Suddenly taking her out of her thoughts Paul brought his focus back to her “I’m sorry for your loss Caroline” as he reached for her hand and gave it a slight reassuring squeeze and suddenly the entire room disappeared and all she could think about was Stefan taking her hand outside her Mom’s house when she thanked him for being there for her when her Mom was sick. He began to draw circles around her hand and offered a comforting smile and Caroline couldn’t help but turn her attention to her hand while letting out a slight gasp.

“My loss too correct, hi I still exist” Damon interrupted their haze before reaching for Paul’s hand forcing him to let go of Caroline’s to give it a firm imposing shake staring at him dead in the eyes to the point he must have seen his soul.

“Of course man how rude of me, name’s Paul Corbett really great to meet you” he said shaking Damon’s hand “but let me stop imposing on your family time I just wanted to stop by and thank Caroline again, really amazing job you’ve both done with the place I’m sure your brother would be proud, I’ll see you on Monday Caroline” he beamed a smile at her before closing the door behind him.

As the door shut completely Caroline lifted the daises to her nose taking a nice long sniff again before they were rudely knocked out of hands by her jerk of a brother-in-law “Damon! There’s no need to take your anger out on the flowers, they’ve done nothing wrong.”

“Nothing wrong huh? They were brought here by evil, the most nefarious evil we’ve encountered Carebear and that is including the literal devil himself, a doppelganger! My god I hate that word. I never wanted to have to think let alone utter that word again and now here it is again haunting me, plaguing me masquerading around as my dead brother, hitting on his wife, to haunt the last of my pathetic human existence because my life will never know peace.” Damon groaned “I’m in hell aren’t I? I already died and this is hell I knew they’d open it back up.”

Caroline smacked the side of his head “Damon stop being so dramatic, you’re alive you’re not in hell and this is just a bizarre coincidence. I mean Paul being a doppelganger means he’s a descendant of Silas who was a witch which explains why his daughter is a witch.”

“Well then what explains the heart eyes and the flowers then?” Damon said sternly folding his arms. Caroline let out a huff “he is not giving my heart eyes okay he was just being nice, I know that’s a foreign concept for you” she said “everything will be fine this is a strictly professional relationship” Caroline raises her index finger and digs it into Damon’s chest “and you of all people have no right to judge me for being caught off guard by someone who looks exactly like someone you love.”

Damon scoffed before removing her finger from his chest “Whatever, just keep it professional I already need to find a way to erase this mornings scene from my memory I don’t need more added on.” Damon walked towards the kitchen Caroline shaking her head knowing her attempts at keeping Damon sober today just flew out the window while following along with him.

Stefan stands quiet and as still as a mannequin, not that it would matter since no one can see or hear him anyway, as he watches Caroline’s latest encounters with the splitting image of himself. Caroline, his wife, his beautiful, selfless, amazing wife, he watches over everyday making sure she was happy and if he’s being honest sometimes just to remind him what peace is.

He wants her to be happy, he wants her to find someone who’ll love her the way she deserves to be loved the way he loves her. He’s seen her have a few flings over the years but he can tell none of the have really been enough for her. Watching her now though he sees that spark back in her eyes even if she doesn’t, and he of all people knows the effect a doppelganger can have. At least Paul seems like a good guy from what he’s seen, loving father, polite and respectable, annoys Damon, makes Caroline laugh and smile. But despite all of that he can’t help but have a bitter taste in his mouth thinking that it can’t, that it should be him to giving that to her.

Suddenly Stefan feels a familiar chin on his shoulder as his best friend, his saving grace over here settles behind knowing that he’s brooding, that he’s always brooding these days it seems.

“Do you ever think about how we’ve found peace only for the universe to pop up and say ‘are you sure about that one’ and then you’re forced to question the existence of peace all over again” Stefan sighed “because same.”

Suddenly Lexi puts both hands on Stefan’s shoulder’s and spins him around shaking him slightly “oh no not this again, broody Stefan died in hellfire thirty years ago this is supposed to be upbeat finally-found-peace Stefan who’s happy that his wife is living her life to fullest until she finds her way back to him and is enjoying every second he gets to spend with his amazing gorgeous best friend in a place where literally nothing bad can happen to him.”

Stefan smiles slightly “look I am happy for Caroline, really I am I don’t want her to be alone or to not find love again but…” he takes a slight pause “seeing it happen with someone who looks exactly like me makes it even harder not to realize it should be me, I should be the one giving her daises and making her smile and giving her a reassuring hand squeeze.”

“Stefan don’t you think you’re being a little dramatic, which of course for you is telenovela level dramatic, about this I mean nothing even happened? Maybe he’s just a nice guy who’s showing his gratitude for her helping his daughter?”

“Lexi I have been madly in love with Caroline Elizabeth Forbes-Salvatore for over thirty-five years and therefore I am an expert in knowing when someone is in love with her” Stefan takes a deep breath “he’s in love with her even if he doesn’t realize it yet” Stefan says thinking back to himself and how long it took for him to realize his feelings were there for years before he finally told her “I mean who wouldn’t be?”

Divorce Divides Father And Daughter: Miraculous Reconciliation After 18 Years

Anyone who comes from a family that is broken the pain of divorce. I was twenty-seven years old when my parents divorced. While some people think that a person shouldn't be "affected" by such things once they are adults, I can assure you--I WAS! I ended up being shocked when my parents divorced, and I had no forewarning of this event.

On the day that my dad told my mom that I told my husband, "Something is terribly wrong in California that he was moving out, I felt a great anxiety in my spirit, so great, in fact. I want to phone home." Considering the fact that I was deeply affected that I was three thousand miles away on a remote island in Northern Canada when I felt this anxiety, you can appreciate.

Pain and Confusion Ensue

Soreness and confusion became constant companions as I tried to "understand" what had happened: What right did he have to leave my mother? Whose standard was he using to exercise his right to leave her? What had she done that was so terrible that he could not live with her? I had questions and I asked them of nearly everyone around me. I asked God the same concerns, and in so doing, I realized that my life that is own was quite a mess. I searched the Bible for "the answer" to all my questions about my dad. Since he had been a Baptist minister at one time, I felt certain that he would know and obey what the Bible said about such an important issue.

About two years after the divorce, the whole family gathered in California for one of those BIG attempts to bring reconciliation. I felt sure that dad would listen to God's Word, so I reached for my Bible and said, "Dad, look at exactly what God needs to say about what you yourself are doing."

He stood up and loudly cursed me, the Bible and the whole family before I could find the carefully selected passage of scripture that would straighten this mess out. Then he walked out. Needless to say we were all in shock. The shock of that cursing lasted a time--eighteen that is long for myself, and twenty years for my brother and sister.

Difficulty in Letting Go

Eighteen years is a long time. Think about it. It generally takes eighteen years to graduate from high school. A"lifetime that is whole of events takes place in eighteen years. During those full years, contact with my dad was minimal. A card from him on my birthday, Christmas cards, the odd phone call which always stirred up the pain. Someone would hear about something he ended up being doing and he would again be the subject of our conversation for weeks. My mother never stopped talking about him. She never ever let him go.

My mom maintained her relationship with God throughout this long painful separation. She read her Bible, went to church, cared about us kids and loved her grandkids. She worked as a secretary and saved her money so she wouldn't be a burden on anyone when she retired. But, always, she was obsessed with talking about my dad.

I would personally say that most of our conversations about him were judgmental. After all, we read our Bibles; we knew what he had done was wrong. She had done nothing that the Bible sanctioned as reason for divorce. By the time of his marriage that is third knew he wasn't coming back to her. Still, his actions and their effect on our lives were frequent topics of our conversations.

After numerous years, we gave up hope for my dad to ever be reconciled to his family. I doubted he was even a Christian. I felt he was a totally lost, immoral, unstable, unsavory person. That was a very time that is dark me. Gradually, I got used to the darkness in my soul--it that is own seemed.

A Death Sentence

Mother did retire and she moved from California to Canada to be near my children. She had missed out on much of the growing up of my five children, and she desired to get to know them. She bought a condominium two obstructs from my house and the kids enjoyed having "Gran" close live so. One after moving here, she was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease year.

Lou Gehrig's illness was a death sentence. There was no cure. There is no treatment. I spent four months praying and God that is asking to my mother. Finally, the answer came: "Help her die." She was accepted by me diagnosis and did all I could to help her.

I want I could tell you that I was a "good little Christian" who praised and thanked God every day for His righteous judgments, but the truth is that I questioned God. I really felt he was the one who had done this great wrong to his family, and to allow my mother to die this cruel death that it was unfair of Him to let my dad go free when. Finally, I asked God, "How do this situation is seen by you?" The answer He spoke to my heart would one day transform all our lives.

About a year after my mother died, I felt something stirring inside of me--a desire to see my dad. In the long eighteen years of separation, I had only invited him once to visit my home. During that visit I had tried again--and unsuccessfully, again--to confront him with the Bible. I had no reason to expect that another visit would end differently, but I honored that desire regardless and invited him for a long weekend.

Attempted Reconciliation

My dad came armed with his arsenal that is own of. He knew what to expect from me. I hadn't planned anything specific to confront him on--I didn't need to, I had a whole list of offenses I could whip out at any given minute. So, the weekend progressed--awkwardly, but quietly.

I had no idea that Spirit was about to move in on us in a way that is powerful. I simply invited two gentlemen friends over for lunch. They lead a prayer group I attended and I hoped they would "say something" important to my dad. If not, it was a real way to let others meet my dad and see the man that has so wounded me.

We were sitting around my dining room table when one gentleman began telling the story of a young soldier in Napoleon's army who had gone A.W.O.L., been caught and was now about to face the firing squad. This man that is young mother came to Napoleon and pleaded for mercy for her son. Napoleon replied, "He doesn't deserve mercy," to which the mother implored, "But, sir, if he deserved it, it wouldn't be mercy!" At that, Napoleon allowed the boy to live.

God’s Answer to a Prayer

I felt the strangest sensation of heat come over my head and into my chest as he had been speaking. Without wavering, I said, "I know why you told that whole story." I switched toward my dad and gently said, "Dad, when mom was dying, I felt that God was being very unfair. So he was asked by me what He had to say about the situation. Would you like to hear what God had to say about you and mom?" The room was very quiet. I could tell that my dad was afraid to know. But, after a moments that are few indicated that he would.

I felt the heat increasing as I reached deep into my soul for those words, "He said, ‘I could not heal your mother, because she would not forgive. But the wounds are seen by me upon your father's heart, and I have pity on him.’" The power of Spirit hit both of us "like lightening. in the moment I spoke those words"

We endured up, pressed our chairs back from the table and fell into each others arms, sobbing. After quite a while of crying and kissing, we sat down again. Even the two gentlemen present were crying! I realized that I could not remember even one of my dad’s offenses on my "list." The list that is whole erased from my memory--and sixteen years later on, its nevertheless gone!

From that day on, my dad and I have had a relationship that is far beyond mere "reconciliation" or "recovery." We never had a relationship like this before--ever! This is a totally new relationship! We talk on the phone every weekend, we plan visits around special holidays, and we go to conferences together. Where before my dad had been closed to the "things of the Spirit," due to the wounding caused by my own judgmentalism and legalism, now he is hungry for more. Right away my dad began having powerful dreams which he KNEW were from God. He shares these dreams we discuss their possible meanings with me and.

In the 16 years because this tale took place, my Dad has become my very best friend and confidant. We share our lives, our dreams and our entire spiritual journey with each other. We love sharing our story with others and many have rekindled hope for reconciliation with a grouped family member from our candle of love.
