years later someone buys the plot, turns on the lights and is suddenly worshipped as a sun god by a bunch of puppets falling apart at the seams

pov you break into the spooky abandoned Playfellow Studios building for shits and giggles

#lore tidbit! the plot is not available for purchase #the building is only Technically abandoned. its still very much Owned private property! #actually ive been thinking about the Other side of this au. the people's perspective #cause in this au at least they all Knew the puppets were alive #many employees - especially the ones working 'closest' to the puppets - put up a huge fight when the show got canceled #but it was either Disassemble (kill) Them or Lock Them Away #and honestly? killing the neighbors would've been somewhat of a mercy #but the employees had no way of knowing just how Bad things would get #wh lights out au #scribble salad #and i mean. the building's electricity bill remains paid. #the employees that felt really bad kept it paid over the years - devoting a bit of their income each to it #thinking the puppets would a) be awake & b) be able to figure it out #yeah that's actually a lil fun tragic tidbit as well - if any of the puppets had found the breaker.... #or found it and Messed with it a lil... flipped the right switch... #they would've gotten the lights back on no problem #but yeah anyway ive been Thinking about the employees' side of things a lot #might tie that in with act two. it'd make sense considering the shit that happens #well either they'd help the puppets out or they'd get shoved into one of the sinkholes by barnaby. so. #bc if we're talkin seriously here. the puppets are more likely to kill a person than worship them for any reason #they'd go full 'THREAT!! THREAT!! ELIMINATE THE THREAT!!! WE'RE NOT LOSING ANYONE ELSE!!!' mode

i want to write a larger analysis of the relationships between fathers and daughters (principally, azula & ozai and katara & hakoda) in avatar at some point down the road, but for now i will say that i think katara was absolutely right to resent hakoda, to not want to see him, and to feel abandoned by him. like, you know i appreciate katara’s flaws a lot, and always acknowledge when i think her anger is misplaced or overblown, but in this case, i really don’t think that she’s being unfair towards hakoda at all. in fact, the only reason that sokka doesn’t resent hakoda is because he is constantly operating on so many layers of repression and cognitive dissonance that he would rather just pretend that everything is fine than face confronting how fucked up he is, in large part due to hakoda’s expectations for him. but katara is a lot more honest with herself and able to process her emotions in a healthier way than sokka can (she’s not perfect, of course, but she’s less repressed than sokka by miles), so she 100% rightfully recognizes hakoda’s myriad flaws as a parent, while simultaneously recognizing the extremely difficult conditions that did, ultimately, force his hand, which is why she is also able to forgive him, knowing that his mistakes came from a place of love rather than malice.

#‘hakoda is a perfect dad’ as a talking point annoys me though #because the silent implication there is that katara was wrong to be mad at him #and sokka is right to worship him #when really it is the other way around #katara absolutely deserves to resent him #and sokka does too but he doesn’t because well. that’s for another post #katara #hakoda #sokka #hakoda&katara #hot takes #i guess

honestly when i tried to figure out why some fans are so mad at ivypool these days i was looking through avos and. the scene where ivypool apologises to twigpaw for not supporting sending a patrol for skyclan is genuinely very sweet??

i actually saw someone characterize this as "ivypool forcing twigpaw to forgive her". is it crack you smoke. is that what you smoke. you smoke crack?

#she apologises THREE SEPARATE TIMES #she acknowledges that dovewing and tigerheart's situation made her ignore twigpaw's feelings #she reassures twigpaw that this is the right thing for the clans. she tells her she's proud of her & tc is lucky to have her #you guys do understand that to apologise you have to Do Something Wrong?? or is that the part that's so unforgivable? #i am fASCINATED by the treatment of dove and ivy by the fans in recent years #i'm still pondering it but i think there are a few root causes #1) I think a lot of people read oots as kids and hated dove & identified with ivy because of the underdog storyline #maybe this fandom worship of dovewing is kinda part of that? wanting to feel like you've grown out of fandom misogyny? #but i also feel like 2) tigerdove has really increased dovewing's popularity #and i think because ivypool is so staunchly opposed to their relationship people then have to villainise ivypool #3) is maybe too spicy of a take but to be honest #i think people are subconsciously way more comfortable with a woman whose story ends in heterosexual marriage and childrearing #dovewing's mom role in TBC to shadowsight probably helped her popularity #so ivypool whose relationship w Fernsong & her kits is much less of a focus. and is mUCH less maternal #and who still exhibits Ugly Female Emotions like anger and hurt #and who God Forbid now holds a position of authority... #is too complicated to fit into :) she's such a good mom :) she's such a good mate #dovewing is easier to like because she tends to be a victim of circumstances (🤫 and often lacks agency in her storylines) #since ivypool regularly uses her agency to Fuck Up #fans revert to idealising dovewing because not only is she too good to do bad things. she also doesn't do Things in general #never mind that ivypool is the one who sacrifices and apologises #anyway <3 i think if i made a full analysis of ivy and dove post OOTS i would get too many spicy anons so i will cower in the tags

What physical part(s) of Arsay does her partners find the most attractive! Is it the same for all partners or does it differ between them?

(also optional bonus ask of what part(s) of/about Arsay generally do they love the most, physical or not!)

Meanwhile, if you were to ask the same of Arsay:

#ffxiv #wolship #g'raha tia #y'shtola rhul #wolgraha #wolshtola #y'shtola x wol #arsay nun #graharshtola #y'shtola calling arsay a pain in her side is very much an affectionate thing btw #and i couldnt pass up the joke of g'raha giving the sweet gentlemanly response only for yshtola to be like 'tits tbh' #her defaulting to an answer that would probably stop the conversation before she has to talk to much about her deeper feelings imo #i have. a lot of feelings about yshtola and arsay's friendship #someone who is constantly trying to build walls between herself and others vs someone who desperately wants to form real connections #its not a 'wearing that person down' type situation either #just one lonely person seeing another lonely person and hoping that they could be less lonely together #or that she could at least bring some cheer to #and idk yshtola strikes me as the type to have been like 'if they want to be my friend they have to work for it' #which arsay certainly did #i could ramble on and on how their friendship lines up so well with yshtolas character development but theres a limit to these tags #so just look at how cute shtola is with the slightest blush on her cheeks #graha is a much more complicated topic since he went from Extreme adoration to I want to be her friend but I dont think im good enough #to 100% Hero worship again to Shes my hero and I love her to Shes a person and I love her #to I love Arsay. Even the parts she can't love in herself. I will love all of her till my dying breath. #he thinks shes the most beautiful person in the world and the most important thing in his life #but he now knows how insane she's been about being everyone's hero and he really doesnt want to feed that beast #so hes trying to build her up in other ways #focusing more on the adventuring side than the saving the world side #and then there is arsay who loves so much about her partners and is in capable of narrowing it down to any one thing so its #'here let me list everything that comes to mind right now' with 0 shame or filter

The similarities between Julius Caesar’s assassination and the Ides of Marsh are well documented in fandom. It’s also generally agreed that the fall of the Night’s Watch will mirror the fall of the Roman Republic, which was quite ironically brought on by Caesar’s death. But I never see it acknowledged that Julius Caesar, some time after the establishment of Octavian’s Augustus’ rule, became deified (meaning that he was worshipped as a god or to put it bluntly, Julius Caesar ascended to godhood).

What does this have to do with Jon Snow? Well, apotheosis (1, 2) is one of the most important stages that comes towards the end of a hero’s journey. Here, the hero reaches some higher level of understanding or personhood, and this allows them to complete the hardest trials still to come in their journey. We see mental changes, but these could also be accompanied by physical changes. A good example of this in high fantasy is Gandalf’s death and return as Gandalf the White. In other myths and stories, we can point to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In ASOIAF, we have mini versions of this with Bran Stark and Jojen Reed, two children who experience life or death situations but came back with heightened magical power (Bran especially).

Jon Snow is currently at his “journey to the underworld”/“belly of the whale” moment, where he is to (presumably) face his greatest trials. Apotheosis usually comes after this stage (and is often preceded by other stages such as the “meeting of the goddess” and “atonement with the father”, both of which could very well appear in Jon’s journey as he learns of his true identity and purpose).

But what would apotheosis mean for Jon? That’s the key question. He is sure to experience profound mental changes and trauma, but these are sure to be accompanied by great magical changes that manifest physically. In the same way that Bran came out of his coma and started his journey as the last greenseer (well, once Bloodraven kicks the bucket), Jon is sure to come out of his death experience a far more powerful being. The thing is that Jon needs to change into the hero Westeros needs and the magical act of dying and coming back to life should play a role in that.

However, it won’t all be fine and dandy for him. GRRM has criticized Gandalf’s return where he seemingly came back to life better than ever with no great effects. In the same way that Jon is literally experiencing a descent into the underworld (a step that is sometimes figurative for many modern heroes), we can also ascertain that he will experience a very literal ascension into godhood (or the closest thing we have to that in ASOIAF). But magic always comes with a price. And whatever sort of “god” Jon turns into post-resurrection, he won’t be a very pretty one.

#asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #jon snow #I didn’t have space for this in the post but I think we’re bound to see an anti parallel at work with jon and euron greyjoy #euron very much wants to become a god - heck he has a whole spiel about being worshipped like one #but euron will likely be a false god #the way stannis will likely be a false savior #but SOMEONE has to be the real deal right…? #and if you’re like me and you believe jon will attain his hero’s boon - aka lightbringer #then it’s probably gonna be #belly of the whale (death) > meeting the goddess/atonement with the father (learning rlj) > #return to the living > apotheosis > ultimate boon (finally forging lightbringer and proving himself to be azor ahai) > ?? > kinghood/profit #yeah idk #julius caesar #historical parallels #the heros journey #lit analysis

[hellenicrisis]

I've been going through a rough time mental health wise, hence my drop from the face of the earth. Lately, the line between intrusive thoughts and self damaging actions has become less and less defined for me; which I am recovering from now.

What jarred me most though, was how unworthy I felt of my own practice and faith.

"I am not worthy of my gods, I am not worthy of prayer, I am not worthy of their presence, I am not worthy of their blessings."

I'm sure this is not an unfamiliar feeling to many practitioners and devotees.

At one point, I was considering packing up my altar, putting distance between myself and this reminder of a wonderful thing I thought I didn't deserve. Then Apollo spoke to me, kind but firm, clearly forbidding me from continuing my downward spiral.

He reminded me of the amazing coincidence that is existence. I could have existed as something completely different, the substances that make up my body could have arranged themselves differently. But instead, I am human and because I am human, I feel and I suffer and I love.

"I am so much bigger than you," he said, "and yet here we are, together. Isn't that proof enough of your worth?"

honestly im thinking about how hannibal is a firm believer in god but like he also doesnt really say which god. which is soooo funny to me because he sure as hell isnt catholic / christian, because he knows of and follows the teachings of (not in a religious sense, but in the sense that one might follow the news or whatever) other religion’s gods. but in that same vein, he’s also self-identified as a monotheist, so he places his faith in only one higher power, but still recognizes and indulges other deities and religions. he’s sort of accepted and delved really deeply into multiple branches of organized (and unorganized) religion spanning over many different cultures and yet its still unclear which religion he really does follow. he’s made himself above religion while functioning within the inner gears of religion, if that makes sense ??? like he’s set himself on a pedestal that is above the other religions while still relying on those religions to hold his stand up. something something the ripper likes playing his own god.

#none of this makes sense let’s be so real rn #brain soup #but also the way he compares will to a god and analyzes him against gods #which is sorta like having a false idol but in hannibals religion it’s seen as worship #fuck who knows maybe will graham is hannibals religion #im at work so I can’t get super into my religious analysis right now but god i wanna #something something there’s nothing more intimate than worshipping at the shrine of your lover #will is hannibals god blah blah blah #kalypso stop projecting your religious trauma onto fifty year old gay cannibals #hannibal nbc #nbc hannibal #hannibal #hannibal lecter #will graham #mads mikkelsen #hugh dancy #hannibal parallels #a study of religion in hannibal #hannigram #kuroshika.txt

I did some lino outfits bc I like dressing him up. Please ignore the fact that he should have 2 flesh legs in two of these.

#idk. something something about one of his castings as an angel worships the parts of him that made him Lino and did nothing to hide them #and the other going out of its way to make him 'normal' while still using the same justifications to call him an angel #anyways his leg wasnt crushed that high up but it needed to be re amputated and shortened a few times #to correct the fuck ups that happened during the last attempt to treat it #Vincents attempt caused him to get a gnarly infection on the bone that made it weak. #Margo was able to salvage that mess but had to take a few inches to clean out the worst of the infection and have enough excess to #close the wound properly. #The first prosthetic he got at The Sun was meant to look like a real leg while not actually being a good prosthetic. #it was bolted directly into his Still Healing bone. Very fancy. That surgery also took a few inches off. #The last one he had to deal with was when he went back to vincent and had a Fun Time talking Vincent through how to do an amputation right #But vincent did actually do a decent job that time and kt wasnt a pleasant but it still like #worked out. #hes like 4 ft tall so he didn't have a lot of inches to begin with. you lnow how it is

How deep the Father's love for us. How vast beyond all measure. That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.

#been obsessed with this hymn recently #it came to mind out of nowhere during a worship service a couple months ago #had not heard it or thought about it in years #then later that week i was putting some stuff in the camp attic #and right on top of a pile of old song posters was this hymn #no way that's a coincidence

Sleep Token, is about loving too much. It’s about giving your all and receiving their ‘just enough’. It’s about. Longing for a little more and not knowing what to do when you get it and then having it ripped away from you. It’s Also about gay sex.

#very much so #hmmm well this was in my drafts and I am right. anyway. #sleep token #sleep token ​worship #‘but he sings about a woman’ noooooo its she/her sleep ok. sleep is a god why would he be confined to singular pronouns that’s so dumb #she/her in an mlm way. do you get it?? no?? #‘your being gross your being weird’ I am a queer man. shut it.
