the gorgug-porter conversation is interesting to me because like. yea for the overwhelming majority of the conversation porter’s being shitty & trying to fit gorgug into a box that gorgug just does not fit into by trying to make gorgug’s relationship with his rage more focused on the aggression aspect of it. but then there’s also this specific thing that brennan brought up again in the ap, which is that gorgug’s relationship with his rage is wholly “this is a tool i use to protect my friends.” which isn’t a bad thing! but that’s his Whole relationship with it, & gorgug seems to place next to no value on his rage in relationship to himself. which is problematic, because it’s first & foremost his rage.

being raised in a household with a sort of toxic positivity largely meant that, whether or not it was his parents’ intention, gorgug internalized the message that more traditionally “negative” emotions such as anger are the wrong response to something. part of the reason he prioritizes his artificing is probably because it’s “fixing” things. in comparison to being a barbarian, which gorgug associates with “breaking” things. good vs. bad behavior, in his eyes.

it’s a totally unacceptable bar to measure a 16 y/o by, but i do think part of porter’s reasoning for not letting gorgug multiclass is him recognizing that gorgug generally does not value anger as a valid emotional response to something, at the very least for himself. & that directly conflicts with what being a barbarian is, because whether you like it or not, that rage is what fuels you. but again, barring a kid from pursuing something they deeply care about in part (not entirely, porter has a lot of more bullshit reasons) because of their fundamental values & world outlook is crazy.

so yes, 98% of porter’s reasoning is pretty shitty, immature, rife with a toxic view that there’s only one proper way to access rage, & generally not a good thing to do as a teacher, but also within that reasoning is the 2% of ‘there is a fundamental part of yourself that you only value if you can use it to take care of other people & you need to accept that as something that can take care of you, too.’ but that’s something to discuss with a therapist or a guidance counselor, not something that should hugely impact gorgug’s academic future.

The six times Wakamiya saves Yukiya and the one time Wakamiya himself needs some saving… (a compilation)

1. Episode 1: A Lady Out of Place, when a 13-year-old Wakamiya found Yukiya and Yukichi got lost in the woods while he patched the hole of the boundary of Yamauchi

2. Episode 14: The Taboo Elixir, Wakamiya (as Sumimaru) shoving the afflicted crow with Sagecap as not to hurt Yukiya and the old man

3. & 4. Episode 15: The Girl Who Lived, twice Wakamiya killed two shapeshifting apes that tried to entrap Yukiya

5. Episode 17: King of the Underground, Wakamiya beheaded one of the young monkeys that tried to devour Yukiya

6. Episode 20: The Golden Raven, after an afflicted crow with Sagecap attacked Yukiya and Koume, Wakamiya hit it with his sword’s handle until he knocked it unconscious

The 20th episode, The Golden Raven, shows how vulnerable, precarious and dangerous the position of a true kin’u is when he almost died after Hatsune stabbed him with a hairpin. Wakamiya’s vulnerability convinced Yukiya that in order to protect his home and family, it is time for him to do something for the leader of the Yatagarasu clan. This is the same ethos that’s going to drive his character throughout the Yatagarasu book series.

A Date to Remember <3

Wow, Brennan's nailing a very specific, very accurate picture of womanhood with Caramelinda. That's talent right there. Talent and empathy. It's very impressive watching a man be this empathetic and knowledgeable of something so specific to women and girls. (I'm not saying no men have EVER been in Caramelinda's position before, but for women it's pretty fucking common). I picked up on exactly who she was from episode one before she even showed up onscreen and now I'm in "At the Mountain of Sweetness" and this poor woman just had a funeral for her daughter and met her husband's child from a previous secret marriage and now she's in a room talking to her remaining child and my heart is breaking.

Ruby: "Are we letting this happen, are YOU letting this happen?"

Caramelinda: "I can't remember the last time when it felt like I had a handle on my own life."

Ruby: "But...You are the handle."

Caramelinda: "Am I? Did I ever stop you or your father or anyone else from doing what they were going to do? Or have I just spent my whole life crowing for nothing?"

"You're a woman grown, and now the secret is revealed. All the crowns on all the heads on all the kingdoms of the world don't know. Don't know what they're doing and don't know what's going to happen next and don't know how to stop it. Here's what I have control over; I'm gonna take a bath and I'm gonna eat something.

Ruby: "Well I'm not"

And then she proceeds to avoid processing any of that conversation or any emotions and goes invisible and sneaks around investigating instead. Poor Caramelinda.

1. When you need, God knows:

Philippians 4:19 (NIV). “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”

2. When you ask, God listens:

Proverbs 15:29 (ESV). “The LORD is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.”

3. When you believe, God works:

2 Kings 20:5 (NIV). “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Behold, I will heal you.”

4. When you thank, God gives more. Jesus gave thanks and fed the five thousand!

Matthew 14:17-21 (NIV). “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Bring them here to me,” he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.”

5. Everything comes from God:

James 1:17 (AMP). “Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes].”

6. And whatever you give, you'll get just as much back, if not more!

Luke 6:38 (CSB). “Give, and it will be given to you; a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over—will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

We serve a good, loving and giving God! Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

What are your thoughts about Louis and alcohol?

I don't think we know a lot about Louis an alcohol. We know he drinks when performing and sometimes he'll drink socially somewhere reasonably public and we'll know about that (although I feel like that's got rarer). Neither of these are unusual and so they don't tell us that much.

It's really normal for touring musicians to drink when performing. It's a pretty big part of the culture of touring, particularly within some genres.

Here I think it's useful to know a little bit about work cultures that have drinking as a large part of the job. There used to be a lot more of them - lots of the jobs that no longer exist in UK and the USA had a drinking culture. Now touring is an exception (and some kinds of hospitality). From what I understand, in these sorts of jobs - where everyone is drinking regularly - people will be experiencing that drinking very differently. Some people will be alcoholics, some people will have a drinking problem that isn't about addiction, and for others alcohol isn't a problem at all. People working and drinking together might not know where other people fall on that spectrum.

My point is (rather boringly and predictably) is if people who drink together in that context can't tell whose has a problem with alcohol and who doesn't - how could people who see some pictures some time possibly know?

There are times when fans can tell that an artist has a problem with drugs or alcohol, if they talk about it, if they cancel important events last minute, and certain patterns of hospitalisation.

Although with the cancellations - as it's become more acceptable for artists to cancel events due to mental distress - these decisions have to be looked at slightly differently. I still do think that the time during Walls promo where Louis cancelled a radio interview is worth remembering. He was up for most of a day in the US, flew to the UK, had a bad interview on breakfast TV where the interviewer asked about family deaths after agreeing not to. In that context I'd say the most likely problem was mental distress heightened by a stimulant. It might be part of a wider problem - but it might not be.

Louis is definitely at high risk for addiction. Both his biological father and step father are alcoholics. He's at a job where addiction is incredibly common - and he's had to deal with a lot. And if I was to sum up what I think in a sentence - it would be 'Louis is at high risk for addiction'.

But risk isn't certainty. And from where we're looking it would look exactly the same if he was an alcoholic, if drinking was causing problems in his life not related to addiction, if drinking wasn't a problem but he had other extremely dangerous coping strategies (such as eating disorders), or if he was doing incredibly well considering and just a normal level of fucked up. I think it's incredibly important to be able to accept possibilities - rather than jump to certainty.
