can we talking about rage as an expression of love. can you think, with me, about the implications of violence as a love letter. can we think about blood spilled in the name of the heart, how rage burning hot or cold is how some people express their deepest and most sincere form of devotion.
i will burn the world down for you

LEAVE MY BABYGIRL ALONE
This man has been nothing but the best for his students, even if they didn’t always get it.
Let’s get something out of the gate - as a Stone Genasi and Oath of the Ancestors, if he was connected to any of the Giant Gods, it would probably be either the one tied to Fall or Spring (My money is on a Cloud Giant for spring and Stone Giant for Fall) and NOT the summer oriented Fire Giant God. It’d make more sense that his Oath of Ancestors means that he’s probably tied to the Stone over the Fire.
And this is all assuming that Porter worships a Giant God - the man isn’t even a giant. Lucy was a Genasi who followed a Giant God, that doesn’t nesacarily mean that Porter is also a Genasi following a Giant God. We don’t even know if he follows a God, it could easily just be an Elder Earth Elemental or like, Peepaw Cliffbreaker. Paladins have oaths, not gods - its just that oaths are sworn most often to Gods that they get it wrong
Anyways - Rage.
Do you think that Brennan Lee Mulligan thinks Rage is bad? Like, this id a narrative and it has a message - and that message probably is not going to end up being ‘Anger is bad.’ Because it ISNT.
Lydia has been in a rage for decades. Put that into perspective a DnD rage is meant to last Ten Rounds - 1 minute - with at most like, 4-5 uses a day. Lydia, for the safety of herself and the world, has been at it for over twenty years.
Adaine was so angry with her dad she killed him, and that moment was justified and cathartic! It was a hell yeah! And it was a moment of raw fucking rage.
“Do you have a warrant? Do you have a fucking warrant?” Gorgug my boy for the first time in your entire life you allowed yourself to get angry without self recrimination or doubt. And you know what Porter’s reaction to that was?
Pride. Absolute Pride.
“Rage is not a bad thing - Ayda… says you’re the greatest wizard of this age. And I feel LUCKY to have you in my class. You’re someone who can use that rage in a smart way but it’s not wrong to want… to fuck shit up sometimes!”
You want to know whats dangerous? What’s bad for you? Bottling up your emotions and never expressing them. Feeling terrible for what you’re feeling. Thinking your emotions are harmful intrinsically.
This is another Nightmare King circumstance. A God and their spouse were murdered, by Sol. People forget that a lot, Sol murdered Cassandra and now we learned it was a double homicide. Does this Summer God of Fire not deserve to feel angry? Is that not justified?
IT IS!
The Rat Grinders are the only followers of this Rage God. What they are is what the Rat Grinders want. As Above, so Below.
If Fig does as Porter told her to, she could restore this God just as Kristen did with Cassandra. If terror and confusion can turn into comfort in doubt, why can’t Unchecked Fury turn into justified expression of emotion?

I've seen more shinogiyuu shippers misinterpret people portraying Shinobu as she really is (which is playfully sassy and mean with a kind heart but genuine amount of repressed anger) and saying that they're "making her a bully" than I have other people actually make Shinobu a "bully". They always complain about how SaneGiyuu shippers mischaracterize her by making her mean (as if that's anything to do with the SG ship and not... the fandom in general??) but then they'll point to instances where said person is deliberately NOT doing that??? Like, they're the ones that interpret everyone else's portrayal of her as an evil bitch when she's literally... being how she is in cannon. It's really angering seeing them act like she's not allowed to express anything but pure fucking jolly joy as if that doesn't literally go against her whole deeper character.
And part of it really does link back to how the shinogiyuu shippers like to mischaracterize her themselves by completely forgetting her whole story depth of being a deeply angry, obsessive, traumatized person so they can make her Tomioka's Personal Wifey Tsundere who's Only Emotion Is Love And Lust For Giyuu despite the fact that whether or not you think she likes him romantically, she makes fun if him. That was our first introduction to them together. That is a well known fact. And no, she doesn't mean to hurt him like Obanai would, but it's really fucking easy to make the difference known?? How do you get so confused when you're the so called Shinobu Experts you dumb losers.

[ID copied from alt text: A digital bust drawing of my D&D character Leandre (he/him), set against a black background. The piece is made of a limited palette of shades of red and blues, as well as fiery orange and yellow. Leandre is a young satyr with long wavy hair is flowing upwards above his head, most of it wreathed in fire, but a smaller portion of it dark and streaked with blues. Two thirds of his face is red, with that side portraying anger, while the last third is blue, portraying a teary eyed sadness. End description.]
There's a deep sadness that hides beneath his rage
