#the tearing veil

[child-of-hurin]

Part of what charms and compels me in Jeyne Poole's arc is her reaction to her predicament. All the female POVs in this book are dealing with a lot of gendered violence, and they all deal in different but dignified forms... Jeyne is not a POV character and she is absolutely not dignified lol. She cries and begs, she is utterly helpless. But unlike most women in this book who are utterly helpless, she survives. It's frustrating how fans refuse to celebrate that, simply because there is no glory in it.

#Sometimes I wonder if that's part of why fandom is so uncharitable towards her #like if she had some self-sacrificing sense of dignity maybe people would like her more... if she were resourceful or proud #boo! #she's perfect #i also think the absurd notion of arya 'mercy killing' her stems from this too? tbh #like - you think this woman is too pathetic to live? that even if she escaped bluebeard's castle her life is better over? #people will call grrm a grimdark author but this shit you see in fandom is 100000% more cruel than anything this man wrote #her pain is too real to her for games of honor to hold any meaning! she tears the veil she ruins the veneer #she has no noble bearing no honor no ambition no wolf no lover no knight she will not rise from this taller and wiser #none of the ways in which she'll change will be for the better and her pain will only reward her with more pain - the pain is worthless! #here is a child-bride suffering and nothing about that suffering can be made beautiful or meaningful- besides her escape #which theon instantly romanticizes.... what a moment #we flew! #i can't wait to read about her again #jeyne poole

DAI if the Warden was in it

Warden, seeing a tear in a veil: I'm gonna stab it

Inquisitor with their hand halfway up: please don't

not me typing a whole rant about some catholics being insufferably smug about their "better looking churches" while ignoring the history behind the barebone austerity of protestant churches and then deleting it all because my seething anger isn't christ-like either

*gnaws on wood* God help me love your children even when they are absolute prigs

#christianity #catholicism #CAVES!! PROTESTANTS USED TO HAVE TO WORSHIP IN ACTUAL CAVES!! #THEY INVENTED PORTABLE PREACHING CHAIRS THAT COULD BE DISGUISED AS *BARRELS* #BECAUSE THEY WOULD GET KILLED OR SENT TO THE GALLEYS OR LOCKED UP IN JAIL OR SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES IF CAUGHT WORSHIPING #YOUR CHURCHES HAVE ALTARS TO MARY'S GREAT AUNT AND JOSEPH'S SECOND COUSIN'S TWICE REMOVED BE SERIOUS #EUROPEAN CATHOLIC CATHEDRALS WERE BUILT WITH TAX MONEY AND COMMISSIONED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES #PROTESTANTS CHURCHES HAD TO BLEND IN OR BE DESTROYED #and sure some places don't have that historical context #protestants weren't persecuted in the US and the catholic church wasn't state-sponsored there #but obviously that bagage informed their architectural choices for centuries afterwards DUH #are you being dense #and do you truly genuinely believe the God who came to earth to tear the temple's veil and preach on beaches and mountains *cares* #He told his own people *repeatedly* that no house they could ever build was worthy of His glory please be humble #He *deigned* habit the tabernacle and then the two temples as a demonstration of his grace and love not because the buildings merited it #and then He explicitly made *us* his temples and He promised to be with us wherever we worship Him please be humble #God doesn't care about stained glass windows He made the entire sky so we could always see his glory <3

HEART

It wouldn't be a stretch to call them 'self-obsessed', but not necessarily in a negative way. They simply want to understand the one thing we all are stuck with for our entire lives, i.e. our own minds. Forging an identity is extremely important to the Heart-bound, and every decision and action goes toward building a coherent narrative of their own story.

RAGE

They posses great contempt for lies or false ideas, including the stability that false ideas can impart. To them, the true is far more important than the good; they would tear down a system just to destabilize it if, by their reckoning, it is built on faulty premises. Often the Rage-bound prefer anarchy to any of the alternate forms of civilization, which they believe to be riddled with lies and foolishness and obedient masses.

LIGHT

They are scholars and researchers, absolutely dedicated to knowledge for knowledge's sake . . . The Light-bound will go after knowledge with a fierce intensity that others may find distasteful. They aren't overly concerned with laws or norms, either. They often take rules as simple suggestions, instead searching for loopholes or work-arounds.

#i'm putting this to vote #for the 3 people including me with knowledge of what it is #miraculous ladybug #🌃 #SEE it's complicated because although félix is very tear down the system oriented it's NOT necessarily because he wants the truth it's #because he wants it to be just. he's okay with a veil of untruth. that's why he's okay with obscuring it from adrien #and i think of knowledge as being very important to him but his identity is intricately linked to his trauma and it's like #how do we separate all that... anyway

If Ry'on WAS a bhaalspawn (or if you have/had a durge oc) what would their relationship with Telvesh be? If you answer for Ry'on, how would her life be different/would she have followed the same path during the events of bg3?

Ooh this is a very interesting question, thank you!

A bit of a nonsensical tangent here first. I initially planned on playing as my evil Pathfinder cleric in BG3 for my Durge run, but lately I've been considering making a whole new character and just having them exist but not be my canon BG3 protagonist. I believe if you play as Tav, Orin just kills default Durge prior to you entering the temple, right? That's the Dragonborn corpse lying in her room? So I may as well make them a custom character, flesh out their backstory before they meet that ending in Ry'on's timeline.

But to finally answer your questions - It seems like Bhaal favours Durge above the rest of the Bhaalspawn that have come before them. The Bhaalspawn that has had the most potential since Gorion's Ward. So, my Durge will follow the same path as Telvesh once did before ascending by giving in to the urges of their blood. They'll embrace this life and path as something inevitable. I will have them become Bhaal/Telvesh's chosen and do the bloodline (and Telvesh especially) very proud.

Alternatively, if Ry'on was a Bhaalspawn, she would be nothing but a great disappointment to Bhaal. She would deny the urges of her blood, she would reject all offerings of power. She would still seek the path of redemption, even if it would be a fruitless one. I imagine a Seldarine Drow Bhaalspawn would be a really fun roleplaying experience. Lolth would absolutely destroy Bhaal because he's only a weak little Quasi-deity now, but hypothetically, I want to see those two fight for the title of Worst God Parent Ever. There's one or two parallels between them for sure.

It still lives in my head rent free that Solas tells you a cliffnotes version of his entire plan to tear down the veil in main game Inquisition if you choose the right options.

When I got that my first playthrough of Inquisition Solas was suspicious cause it was too specific. Then Trespasser came out and I was just:

#dragon age #dragon age inquistion #dai #solas #I never really trusted Solas because he just grabs your arm in the prologue and his vibes were bad #But then he said that and I - having never played any other dragon age game at that point - squinted really hard #It was VERY specific. Too specific to be a casual mockery of the topic. #Talking about tearing down the veil and the world burning in the aftermath as he tried to restore elves to their magic #Really specific Solas. Too specific.
