"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?"

-- Stephen Fry

"Because he'll send you to be tortured in a pit of fire for eternity if you don't" isn't the vindication you think it is.

I like bloodweave. Okay. But I DON'T like the version of them in fanfic where Astarion is a dick and Gale is like. Whining and pleading for him to be emotionally vulnerable (or just. Nice to him) prior to the relationship being established. Because that is just not accurate. Gale needs the player to express interest in him during his weave-teaching scene before he even considers hitting on them properly. Gale is entirely resigned to his fate and needs someone else to pull him away from it. Gale only starts being sweet and romantic and devoted after you accept his love confession and give him hope for the future. Gale says fuck all and then slinks away to cry privately if you break up with him.

Like he isn't chasing after people lmao. He isn't dropping to his knees and crying about anything much less this dickhead he met a week ago. He is overwhelmingly passive about literally everything personal to him up to and including his own death (provided there are no casualties/there is a good reason) until after the player expresses that they care about him. Astarion is not doing that in any of these fics.

Like Gale is friendly and a dork and doesn't wanna get murdered but he fully has a suicide plan. He thought the artefacts would help him survive but he didn't believe he'd ever truly live again. If Gale confessed and Astarion said/did like one (1) mean thing afterward Gale's romance is closed off forever. He's wandering into the forest to cry. He's killing himself immediately. His fragile ego and self worth can't take it. You have to understand that when we joke about him being pathetic it's not bc he's like. Sopping wet and chasing people down and begging for a scrap of attention. It's because he craves affection but would literally rather die than ask or even hope for it until someone else forces that hope back into his serotonin-deficient tadpole brain.

#i feel like u can tell when a bloodweave fic is written by an astarion stan vs a gale stan lol #because the astarion stans are just using gale as a vessel for like. their sopping wet meow meow #who screams and cries until astarion becomes emotionally vulnerable with them #which gale would not do. realistic bloodweave is astarion tries to fuck him in act 1 and he refuses because of the orb #and then astarion is like “boo what the fuck. change of plans” and gale is like “okay” and they never speak of it again lol #anyway #please god the gale characterisation in this place. half of you make him the soppiest most pathetic loser and the other half make him evil #he's not ACTUALLY a loser. when i joke about it the reason its funny is because its not true #hes just a regular guy with depression lol. hes not out here debasing himself begging for some old twink to care abt him #bg3 #gale dekarios #bloodweave #gale of waterdeep #does this make sense. i havent slept #i just mean that if you want gale to be sappy he needs to have like. prior assurance that his feelings are reciprocated #because if he doesnt have that and astarion is a dick to him he WILL just give up on the relationship #like hes not hunting people down after they deliberately upset him. i see so many fics where they create tension by lime #*like #having astarion openly fuck someone else after establishing a sort-of relationship with gale. for the drama #like hey. gale fully dumps you if you do that in game!! you have no way to convince him not to. he will dump astarion for that permanently

when ppl see this & this, directed by the same person, and think the narrative is "anakin is evil" not "anakin is a steward of the balance, a force demi god, as was foretold on Mortis" 😂

#anakin skywalker #ahsoka #not my gifs #if you havent seen TCW i really feel like stock in your anakin opinion is p low #you need to watch it to get a full picture of his journey and his purpose in the galaxy #he was good and evil #he is quite literally a demi god #he is always and will always be both #his ultimate struggle was wrestling with that and failing it in life bc he couldnt accept it #he was a slave to the destiny the force created him for #he was a slave to the sith #he was a servant of the jedi #he is quintessenially never truly free #he hated and loved the jedi in equal measure #he never loved the sith #he is balanced but OF THE FORCE #he was manipulated by the dark side but he is MADE OF THE FORCE #therefore he will always stand for the force the jedi way and the light #which is why he is a forceghost #star wars #u all know how i get when i put my stanakin shoes on #anyway the ogt and prequels are buddhist allegories and anakin isnt beholden to western concepts of morality in that sense as a character #in a mythic literary epic sense #also obviously he isnt human either #which is a big ring-a-ling

I think that would be this whole, crazy, over-animated, Gainax-esque style of animation the whole show and especially the movie, has!

The Blight family are so interesting IN THEORY. In execution they are....😬

#i dont mean that like. theyre flawed characters #i LOVE flawed characters. nothing i love more than seeing some messy toxic bitches do messy toxic bitch things #i love the exploration of unhealthy family dynamics #i love the trope of a rich shiny perfect family who are secretly fucked up and miserable #i love the kind of characters that environment creates #whether it be gaslighting gatekeeping girlbossing assholes #or people who are desperately trying to be good. or to break away from the role theyve been forced into #or people who are in a little more of a grey area. people who have a good side and a shitty side #its all fun and interesting #the problem with the blights is their characterization is just so....clunky. sloppy. not very good #alador amity and the twins all suffer from inconsistent writing #alador is a complex case to delve into. and you dont wanna listen to me dissecting him #so ill just say that he could have been handled better #ironically Odalia is the most consistently written character of them all #shes very surface level evil. shes not very interesting #I enjoy Odalia. I think she's funny in just how unapologetically shitty she is #and her VA gives such an entertaining performance #but she is like. Hollow. There is nothing going on with her other than abusive mom and capitalist #but by god at least she knows what shes about

jonas's relationships with both his parents fuck me up but for completely different reasons. like ofc we have the Most Tragic Father-Son Dynamic Of All Time w him and mikkel/michael. both are willing to sacrifice their own lives for the other yet they need to knowingly be the catalyst of the other's suffering (michael committing suicide + jonas taking mikkel through the caves) even though they so desperately don't want to. forced to perpetuate the cycle by destroying each other because of how much they love each other.

then there's jonas and hannah. they clearly care about each other, but they can't really talk to each other. almost every scene they have together in s1 there's this emotional distance between them. hannah is extremely distraught over jonas's disappearance and she's relieved when he comes back as the stranger, but it doesn't last because it's not her jonas, the one she remembers. and she's not the hannah that jonas remembers either, even if she hasn't aged much since he last saw her. despite being mother and son they don't really know each other (just like what hannah tells jonas in the candle scene. "maybe you never know that, what a person is really like.") she abandons him after he gives up on her, and when she finally comes back for him in 1911, he's even more unrecognizable...

and both of these end with jonas killing them, in one way or another

#christ #i'm so extremely normal about these characters #don't even get me started on jonas meeting alt-hannah or ow!hannah naming her baby jonas #most evil show ever created i swear to god #dark netflix #dark spoilers #grave.txt

“The Devil is necessary to God's survival.

If he didn't exist, God would have to assume the responsibility for Evil.

I strongly doubt that he'd have any supporters after this.”

Isaiah 45:7

I am the Lord, and there is none else.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

The vile monster-god of Israel is responsible for all evil. “There is none else.”

you are watching mythic quest season 3. i am watching the mythic quest season in my mind where cws death has an actual effect on most of the characters that prompts their development. we are not the same

#someone ask me to elaborate (PLEASE) #jk i’ll do it anyways #i just think that. for me death is something that is very emotional and to see it unutilised here is disappointing to say the least #like the fear of death coping with loss is something i KNOW these fuckers aren’t equipped to handle #and it doesn’t effect all of them and it’s not cw all centric #ian has a midlife crisis rachel loses her creative mentor david starts thinking about death and how people will #remember him (s2ep8 callback) we even saw brad moved at that bit to stay close to your friends! #poppy is too shunned to care dana is too emotionally healthy and doesn’t know cw that well jo. jo #david being in this state can also help brad show jo he’s weak (seeds of doubt in david’s leadership) #and ALSO dana not having an emotional reaction to cws death can also create #more of a rift between her and ian because it’s something she just can’t relate to #ian also mourning in silence also would’ve been so much fucking sadder after sarian knowing the two parental figures that admired and #inspired his creativity are gone #god #this show is evil anyways #also i have a long sad letter cw would write rachel from the grave would y’all like to see that #mythic quest #kaitlinshottakes #poppy li #brad bakshi #ian grimm #cw longbottom #jo mythic quest #rachel mythic quest #dana mythic quest

more thoughts on this

since we know next to nothing abt the travelers’ previous lives,,,

if their little origin story was fabricated, and they were created by the unknown god,,

the same way scaramouche was created by raiden,,,,

,,,,,ykwim

also i wonder if scara’s wrists started glowing the way the travelers do after he got his vision.

he had them fully covered while he was an amnesiac, during that time he might have just been self-conscious in a way that he’d grown out of in his previous life, but once he got his memories back he still hid them… perhaps he’s gotten sick of explaining himself now that he lives in a reality where nobody knows he’s artificial,,, but i digress

in the scenario where the travelers’ entire backstory as alleged world-hopping explorers was fabricated, and in reality they were created by the unknown god…

the unknown god could also be where Raiden got her “creation method” from.

bc i reckon it’s a LOT harder to artificially make a sapient being with a fully fleshed-out personality than a human-resembling machine that just follows orders.

like. her first attempt could be a near-exact replica of the original “formula”, just with a few minor tweaks to make him resemble her.

could also be why, as her first prototype, Scaramouche was much shorter,,,,, he’s just closer to the travelers’ heights as the original copies…………….he’s travel-sized—

#we thought paimon was evil sus but she’s the nanny that the unknown god sent to watch over her artificial children. she’s just normal sus #genshin impact #genshin theory #genshin impact theory #scaramouche #wanderer #aether #lumine #unknown god #tldr: the unknown god artificially created the travelers and raiden copied her homework
