let's not normalise wanting to keep driving when you're feeling ill, they should've all retired the moment they started feeling ill, for their own safety, but also for the safety of other drivers around them.

There are so so so many ways to experience the gods.
There is no right or wrong way. There is no blunt way. Its all feeling and ephemeral.
If you've felt warmth, if you've had a dream, if you've seen a crow that stares at you for too long, if something inexplicable happens and you're lucky suddenly, if you've caught eyes with a stranger and felt like you knew each other. If the candle flickers a certain way, if one time when you're singing your voice sounds gorgeous in a way you weren't expecting, these are all the presence of a god.
God phoning is popular on witchtok but half the time what they're saying is bullshit. I've very very rarely heard a voice and every single time it was my own voice, just suffused with something, saying something I normally wouldn’t say. Or maybe I would. I've never heard a clear, distinct, audible voice. Its an invisible world we're connecting with, its a different plain. We cannot experience it the same way we experience every day life.
We'll never sit down at a coffee table across from the physical manifestation of our god, and know that its them, not until after. And even then we can never be sure. That’s the nature of it. There are no absolutes, there cannot be. That’s what makes it beautiful. That’s where belief comes in. It isn't about being good enough or worthy enough or devout enough, that doesn't exist. That isn’t what its about at all. You are worthy even if the divine doesn’t manifest in a way we've been told is the only real way, and you are connecting even if you cant see it now. My most intense spiritual experiences are never something I realize are happening in the moment, its always only after that I can see it clearly.
The gods are all around us.

Alicent Hightower stared down the face of a DRAGON and didn’t back down.
TELL ME AGAIN THAT SHE DOESN'T LOVE HER CHILDREN????
"GET TO HELAENA," SHE TOLD CRISTON COLE AS SHE PUSHED AEGON BEHIND HER.
WHY DON'T PEOPLE USE HER IN THOSE VIDEOS 'NAME ME A CHARACTER THAT STOOD THEIR GROUND'

Perfectionists, repeat after me:
I will release myself from expectations.
I will release myself from perfectionism.
I will release my work from my imagination.
I will unbind my wrists from the chains of my own making.
I will let my ideas flow freely, for I must. There is no other way.
.
I will release myself from expectations.
I will not let perfectionism kill my creativity.
I will not let anxiety stifle my imagination.
I will stop making new rules for only myself that limit me and hold me back.
My ideas deserve to be set free, and so they shall be.

we all know the rules lawyers are gonna come out and start screaming, and someone will complain about how Tal broke the trust of the table, or some other bullshit that has already been argued about in this fandom, and we're all gonna ignore it right?
RIGHT?!!

Thought I was done being salty about Legacy of the Force... I was wrong.
So. For a wild second let's pretend that Jacen falling to the Dark Side was a sensible and cohesive decision to make.
They could've at least kept him on the right side of the alignment chart (for lack of a better word) and not make him a fucking cop. Sure, make him evil, whatever, have your edgy plotline, but if anything... Jacen would never be lawful evil. He'd be chaotic through and through.
Let me cite my sources:
"The Force seems so pure a thing to me, a clean truth of who I am, of who we all are. I don't know; putting a governing bureaucracy in place for the Jedi seems kind of like putting a blue-spotted preaky bird in a cage, or even like killing one and stuffing it to keep it safe so that you can continue to enjoy it."
"We're not galactic patrol." (Word by word)
(NJO: Vector Prime)
"Is that the role of the Jedi now?" Jacen asked. "Chasing smugglers?"
"Is it not?" Kyp returned with a snort.
"There was a time when the smugglers were considered friends of the Jedi," Jacen dared to say.
(NJO: Dark Tide, Onslaught)
"I know what I don't want to do--I don't want to be part of an order or a secret group. I don't want to be looked to as a guiding light of the fealty, and I don't want to be surrounded by students who'll ask more of me than I can explain. Most of all, I don't want to be an object of fascination or admiration, because that'll only distract me from what I really need to learn."
(NJO: The Unifying Force)
I... rest my case.
It would legit have made more sense to have him side with Han regarding the GA's leanings towards totalitarianism. Like, a Jacen who'd be at odds with the GA and the brutality it was starting to enforce, and maybe end up being at odds with the Order who at that point were still very tied to Omas and the GA.
And... just anything but what they wrote honestly. Just don't make Jacen a cop. I guess. What with it making zero sense and all. And--
