It Hurts So Much

So much suffering in our world. Yesterday’s headlines bore more bad news. I read in Dr. Jim Denison’s daily article that the beloved Senior Pastor of Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Bryan Dunnigan, age 44, passed away in his sleep due to natural causes. He leaves behind his wife and three children. Many are grieving deeply today. I also read about the massive manhunt for the gunman…

after my long post rambling about the possibilities of eldest sibling lu ten it was only natural that i doodle him. He shouldve been at the club

#imagine iroh was sent out to the front lines periodically and ozai was ozai so it was just lu ten and ursa in the palace for a while #IM HAUNTED BY THE POSSIBILITIES #being raised by a dude like ozai is lit one of the only reasons why zuko and azula loved (???) their jobs. (pre redemption zuko at least.) #so that just makes me wonder if iroh was a decent dad then maybe lu ten hated his job. loves his family. loves his people. Hates his job #sitting in an 7:30 meeting with nobles thrice his age fantasizing about what hed be doing if he was born the son of a shoe maker or smthn #probably sleeping. God that sounds nice #lu ten #iroh #ozai #ursa #zuko #azula #atla #avatar the last airbender #alicias art

1 John 4:10 (NLT) - This is real love—not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

modern otome games dont do it for me anymore bc even though some of them let you pick pronouns/gender, theyre still heavily written for women (which is fair, its OTOME game for a reason, i stopped being their target demographic years ago) who specifically love to be dominated and/or degrated to different degrees, most of the time being seduced/whisked away lowkey against their will, which leads me to believe modern otome are the equivalent of those books for sexually repressed wives

#thinking abt the old otome i used to play #that was the wildest fucking scenarios ever #like #oh yeah youre the sultan's new adopted daughter #you can now bang his other adopted sons. who are extremely hot and into you #or hey. youre cinderella #straight up cinderella. pick a prince to marry and avoid some royal scandal and dabble in the world of politics #to avoid waging war against the other kingdoms #or hey. you had a car accident years ago and the ptsd makes you unable to sleep at night #its been like 10 years so your bestie recommends you hire a sleeping boyfriend who just helps you sleep #so its some guy counting sheep to you and finding out about your repressed trauma and coping mechanisms and helping you thru it #or hey #a star fell from the sky #thats a guy! he says hes your boyfriend! #the gods sent him to learn to be human so he doesn't become a shitty god when he grows up #OR NEKOMIMIS AVOID BEING HUNT DOWN BY POACHERS AND HIDE IN YOUR HOUSE #like theyre all wild but softer than whatever is happening nowadays #like with what in hell is bad. or obey me. or all those other specific demon otomes #like. there was one abt dating the reaper. an angel. or a demon. and in their routes theyre saving you from the other two #but you genuinely got to know them to such a personal degree it stopped being an otome at points like #what do you mean the reaper has abandoned the concept of friendship bc everything he touches dies #so hes torn between killing you to continue this cycle or saving you to prove hes more than a bringer of death #now its just #horny.... or the MC is useless.......

Not my dumb ass writing down a fic where Damian Wayne fakes his own death + end up adopting one kid + get more kids + something somehow Batman Beyond + boy is back to the town + and somehow JonDami

#i will try go to finish this later #it's a silly little idea like 'hey i am actually not dead dead just tired of this shit life but i'm back now anyway here your grandchildren' #also yes damian has three children he adopted two and the third and younger is his blood son #the first one was a assassin who was sent to kill him but the boy failed and damian adopted him #the second is a girl he found while being a doctor in some war zone #idk who is the mother of the third no one knows actually this is between Damian and God #maybe self indulgence but i want this boy being happy and have a silly life while everyone is freaking out about the new shit of the week #and jon being like 'if you wanted a happy family in a farm you should told me i would go with you and rise your children' #this is NOT the point jon they don't want damian runway anymore and not you join him in this crazy adventure #too late because jon is ready to the trip #damian wayne #dc comics #batfamily

It's so difficult, because I genuinely do want to understand what the whole deal with Christianity is, but Christians are so apposed to any line of questioning about their belief system (in a way that no other religion is) that if you say anything they don't like they shut down and accuse you of being a sinner.

And it's like bro, I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm trying to understand why this religion is even appealing to you. How do you manage to get so many converts when you're not even willing to answer basic questions about your theology?

Everyone I've found who's actually willing to discuss Christian theology with me is an ex-Christian which is super unhelpful, because ex-Christians are people who have deconstructed Christian belief and come to the conclusion that it doesn't work for them. They're always very cynical about the whole situation. That's not what I'm looking for.

I want to talk to someone who's still into it. I want to understand what actually draws people to this religion ( I do not want to be trauma dumped at - I don't know what aspect of Christian belief confuses y'all into thinking that trauma dumping is an appropriate substitute for theological discussion, but it absolutely isn't).

Like you would really think for one of the most popular religions in the world finding answers to this stuff would be easier. Why can't you guys just talk about your beliefs?

#Christianity #religion #like I just don't understand #if the basic conceit of the religion is that God sent his only son down to Earth so that he could relate to and better understand humans #then I have a lot of questions #because a) if he's a all knowing god why does he need help understanding humans anyway? #b) if you're taking the Bible literally. Why would he then require Jesus to be celibate and die at 30? #like aren't sex and aging and relationships all parts of the human experience that god would want to know about? #and c) if you're taking the Bible metaphorically. The meaning of this story seems to be #that the divine will never truly relate to or understand you. That you are infact so different from the divine #that if an aspect of god came down from the heavens to interact with the people #your sins and the sins of your community as a whole would kill that divinity before it could live out a full human life #which is a genuinely interesting concept! like I would read a novel with that plot #but I don't understand why that's appealing from a faith perspective #is the appeal the act of forgiveness afterwards? #like the divine are so fundamentally different from us that we would kill them but they would forgive us for that difference anyway #why is difference something that must be forgiven rather than accepted? #like do you see why I'm confused by this stuff? #anyways #posting to this blog because a surprising number of Christians follow me here #maybe one of y'all can help me understand

I think one of the reasons WoT is my top favourite series is because it’s one of the few works of fiction where every main character’s story could stand alone and make its own interesting book series. The EF5 all start out as people who aren’t travelled and who the rest of the world would see as naive farmers. By the end, Rand is TDR, Mat is the greatest general the world has ever known and husband to an Empress, Egwene is the Amyrlin seat and has forged the White Tower back together, Perrin is King of the Wolves and dominates the dream world better than any man, and Nynaeve is the strongest healer the world knows who has discovered how to heal stilling/gentling (not to mention the new queen of a previously broken people).

Take any individual storyline and it could be an entire book series itself, especially since each character has their own supporting cast during various times in their storylines. They all develop enough and go through enough that in any other fantasy world any single one could be The Chosen One or singularly save the world. Not to mention a stilled Amyrlin who has to use her wits to survive when power fails, an Aes Sedai who’s on a years-long quest to find a man reborn from a hero, a broken king who eventually reunites his people and kills one of the most powerful men to exist, a Princess-Heir who loses her ‘right’ to the throne and instead has to prove she deserves it by fighting for it tooth and nail, and an Aiel who finds out everything she thought she knew is a lie and has to struggle with how to become a leader of her people through times where her people are giving up.

And these are just the main characters, there’s a hundred others whose stories are incredible and who could hold their own as the single main character. If they weren’t so fleshed out and their lives didn��t feel so lived, I don’t think the idea of the Pattern would’ve worked half as well as it did. But because we see countless characters who are living as hard as they can (and even ‘minor’ characters who do things that mean the difference between a win or loss at the Last Battle), the concept of the Pattern and every single life having meaning works incredibly well. The Wheel really does need every thread to weave a proper Pattern.

#wot spoilers #writing this at 2 am so sorry if it doesn’t make much sense lol #but I’m thinking of even that one borderlander character #who sees the towers are down and tries to send his son with a message #and he and his son die but the message he sent reaches the white tower #like damn!! he’s important af too!! #or olver #or androl #my god I love androl #and without him the seals would never have been broken #thanks for saving the world androl #thanks to narishma too for healing perrin #who saved rand #this isn’t just Rand’s story #it really is the entire world’s story #and I love it for doing that #everyone thank random farmer 62 for holding against the Trollocs #wot meta #wot book spoilers
