A look at Judges 14:1-9 and a good look at the life of Samson. We see that there were various factors in his walk with the Lord-

He played with the world. He was drawn in by a woman of the Philistines. His youthful hormones were at work. (Judges 14:1-2)

He was a control freak. He liked having his way and was a spoiled child. (Judges 14:3)

He gave place to the devil and got himself in trouble (Judges 14:5)

God delivered him even though he was out of the will of God. A picture of God's great mercy (Judges 14:6)

He violated his Nazarite vow by touching a dead body. He killed a Lion with his bare hands. He did not tell his parents what he had done nor repented before the Lord. (Judges 14:5-9)

God was orchestrating his Master plan with Samson and the Philistines (Judges 14:4) The word for today--_Do not give place to the Devil. Let's learn from Samson's mistakes and avoid further headaches in our lives. God bless.

With Liberty media it wasn’t that I don’t think he’s marketable it’s just I look at F1 and it’s very PR trained and while Marc is good with PR he also love the chaos but I guess if they use it to bring attention to the sport liberty media won’t care. I’m just waiting for them to cash in on the rosquez of it all cause I know it’s gonna happen somehow. Out of all the riders who do you think will be best and worst cause I saw someone try to tell me that Marc wouldn’t be marketable and I was like ??? What do you mean.

Also how was being at COTA I have never been to a live race but I’m trying to get to one in the near future hopefully.

i am interested in howwww liberty is going to choose to narrativize these guys. because you’d think it would be a drive to survive parallel but they already KIND OF tried that with motogp unlimited and it categorically flopped. and marc already took his own stab at telling the sepang story via the medium of sports documentary and as a result he mostly got away with avoiding motogp unlimited. and kind of so did vale really… (it’s been a minute but the only time they really acknowledge the rivalry is when they made marc record a retirement message right?? also so funny imagine being marc. imagine.)

but sepang is also imo pretty foundational to the sport in terms of understanding the current dynamics of like. HALF the grid. you have to understand the 2013-2015 seasons i think in order to reap a lot of those narrative dividends concerning modern rivalries ! if you want to sell marc you’re going to have to sell vale. if you want to sell pecco you have to do the same. same with bez. same with luca. same with franky diggia EVERYBODY almost. enea even. they’ve all been floating around each other for so long and they all play such different roles in each other’s stories and i think if they actually churn out a proper little show about it, it’ll be interesting to see what choices they make ! like liberty isn’t concerned with chaos (that drives engagement remember !!) they care about STORY. and they’re going to cast people in roles here. they’re GOING to have a stance. THATS what’s gonna be interesting to see 2 me. because motogp has a hero and a villain and right now they are kind of both named marc marquez

What if Courtney acted like a jerk on purpose in Total Drama Action?

What if Chris only agreed to let Courtney get back on the show, if she became Season 2's Villain? (Since Justin wasn't doing a great job...)

just flatly unfollowed someone for reblogging that fucking post claiming goyim shouldn’t learn about kabbalah becuz ‘learning is practicing in judaism’. no. like yes learning is a major part of practicing in judaism but that does not by reversal mean learning about judaism is itself inherently a practice that is off limits to non-jews. that’s the most intellectually dishonest sleight of hand i’ve maybe ever seen on fucking jumblr in my long and sordid history on it. by this logic non-jews should be banned from ever attending a synagogue becuz synagogue attendance is part of practicing judaism, and should be banned from reading torah becuz reading torah is part of practicing judaism, and jews should be banned from teaching goyim about judaism because being taught about judaism is part of practicing judaism. (and you can say goodbye to literally all converts! no one can learn enough to decide they want to convert now!!!)

repeat after me: judaism does not have secret knowledge you can’t show goyim. if our texts on mysticism and kabbalah are literally online, mostly translated, posted there by jews and are published in bookstores in the zohar, published and translated and put there by jews, we are inviting goyim to learn about us, because knowledge and understanding is the greatest weapon against violence and fear and hate. if you tell goyim that they can’t learn about us from the widely and freely accessible material we ourselves put out there that’s a most basic failure of the asshole law: ie all it means is the only goyim who will learn about us are the antisemites who don’t care what we want or say.

Most #controlfreaks had a childhood that was built on instability. Their lives felt out of control so now they try to control everything to create a sense of safety. https://www.instagram.com/p/CoAdrW2pAsb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Girlies the fic is in progress 🫣🤭

Barely 326 words in but I am slowly getting through it! The intro to the juicy scene is almost ready ;)

This probably will end up being just a saucy short one but I might think of taking up prompts if it does well!

Uhhhh trying to figure out how to start this fic cause I'm thinking of two options:

1. Coyle already in the "training gear"

Or

2. Fussy cop getting "geared up"

But I'm leaning towards the latter tho hihi 🤭

Raglan James, Marius de Romanus and Daniel Molloy's memory loss

Okay, this sounds insane and I could be very wrong... but I still think it is possible that Justin Kirk plays Marius. Hear me out.

Obviously, Raglan James is a real character and I think AMC is going to use him (for later iwtv seasons and maybe for their talamasca show as well). But in season 1 Rashid was also really Armand... and Rashid is now a real character with a role in the story as well. The same could be true for Raglan James.

So, why would Marius be impersonating Raglan James?

Mainly, because he feels protective and responsible for Daniel. I think Marius played a role in Daniel's memory loss and recovery as a person after the first interview (and possible chase/love affair with Armand). Armand and Louis left him broken and confused and needed someone to help and take care of him. Enter Marius.

Biggest clue:

Roman Weiss Publishing House? Like, come on. No publishing house is called like that, unless it is connected to Marius de Romanus. Also, this is Daniel's memoir, his other books are published at a different (normal) publishing house. But the memoir that is connected to his memory loss is published by Roman Weiss.... hmmmm....

Don't forget: in the books it was Marius who helped Daniel recover after he lost his mind. Daniel stayed with Marius for years. Marius loved Daniel and loved taking care of him.

(And yes I think AMC!Armand can know at this point that Marius is alive, because I think Lestat will tell him out of spite before Armand throws him off the tower. And Marius's painting is in the Dubai Penthouse.)

I think the Talamasca really has a stake in the interview and sent an agent, Raglan James (who I suspect still works for them at this point). But Marius interfered and kidnapped Raglan James and threw him in his basement.

He wants to help Daniel with his memories. He could be annoyed at Armand and Louis that they are toying with Daniel now, after all he did to take care of Daniel. And he is invested in the bigger picture of the vampire world. He is still taking care of Those Who Must Be Kept and will be aware of the great conversion, because it impacts them (and Amel). He might not like the idea that the Talamasca knows too much about this. And he might know Raglan James is a bad person and he doesn't want him near Daniel (and Armand).

So in this new role he can help Daniel and as a double agent he can keep Raglan James and the Talamasca at bay.

(The Talamasca seems to have a more active role in the AMC Universe than in the books, see also Mayfair Witches. So vampires might also engage with them more actively.)

Are there clues that Raglan James is not who he says he is?

A few. He speaks weirdly. He articulated his name in a weird way and Daniel immediately asked: "Got a real name?" Like he doesn't believe it. It is a clue for the audience: something is going on and we need to pay attention.

And he seems to be bad at his job. Raglan James was not bad at his job, he was just reckless because of bad character. He was actually a genius, but bored and distracted easily. He got kicked out of the Talamasca, because he was using his paranormal powers and knowlegde for personal gain. He lied to the Talamasca and robbed them. David says in ToTBT: "He deceived us with elaborate fabrications and counterfeit records on a scale you wouldn't believe. He loves that sort of connivance." And: "With his gifts he should have been able to deceive us forever."

And look at his interaction with Daniel:

Raglan James says awkwardly (and too loudly): "I will stop looking at you now." And pretends to have a phone conversation. At the end, the whole restaurant is looking at them and listening.

Does that look like a genius secret agent who could have deceived the Talamasca forever? I don't think so. A good agent would have the situation under control. Something is off. Is it Marius? Pathetic, nerdy, vain and controlfreak Marius who thought he could play a secret agent and failed miserably? Maybe.

If they're going the "Ladybug is no longer a true hero but instead a zealot-level controlfreak" angle... I kind of hope that at least they're gonna use this thing they've now established about "powers working differently when used for evil" (and lets be clear, covering Gabe's ass lying to an entire planet, and controlling information on this level is evil). I want her to use her powers, and i want it to get easier. The same way that every Evil version of the ladybug powers always got what they wanted (wether its a sword, a gun or whatever). I want her power to give her the thing she wants instead of the thing she needs like they used to. I want her to slowly get used to her powers getting "easier" to use, simpler in their execution, less creative and less nuanced and pacifistic. Until she almost forgets she ever struggled with her Lucky Charms at all... Until one day she doesnt have all the knowledge to form a plan of her own again, and she realises too late that "what she wanted"wasnt what she needed, and someone gets hurt. I want her to ask Tiki why she got the wrong Lucky Charm. And i want Tiki to tell her. Cause if that doesnt happen, why establish the "powers work different when used for evil" rule at all.
