Luke 17:15 Loudly Glorifying God

And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, Luke 17:15 When a person wins something big, that person is extremely excited and shouts it out to everyone else. That person is willing to let the world know that there was a victory win. It does not matter if it was a game of chance or a game of skill, the victory of winning is the same and the…

grabbing people and going look at me. listen to me. its not "omg the Doctor is finally gay now!!" the Doctor has been queer this entire goddamn time. 9 kissed Jack on the lips in 2005. 10, 11, and 12 openly discussed being attracted to men. 11 ALSO kissed men on the lips. 13 was in love with Yasmin Khan, and openly expressed attraction to women. 14 openly expressed being attracted to a man. these are just off the top of my head I may be missing things

the point is that 15 is not the first Doctor to be openly queer and he is not the first Doctor to become romantically involved with someone of the same sex. stop believing the headlines from Disney that this is the first time the Doctor has been queer onscreen. we are NOT letting them take credit they dont deserve

actually yknow fuck it. saying this as a serious die-hard scourge fan. but scourge fans need to stop being so fucking annoying about scourge im going to explode. the amount of ppl ive seen say on my surge vs scourge au art that "scourge would beat surge's ass, this is inaccurate, etc" is stupid as fuck actually. like oh yeah scourge, guy who is known for his epic win streak (lie), would beat SURGE. okay. whatever

Will there be any cheating in the game? I'm looking at D 👁️👁️

um no? this may have elements of a dark romance but cheating isn’t something any ROs would do or condone.

and don’t worry about D, they won’t really have the desire to hook up with anybody else if you’re FWB with them.

Daniel 2:28 Give God The Credit

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and He has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the later days. Your dream, and the visions of your head upon your bed, were these: Daniel 2:28 Every person likes to receive credit for what they did. No one likes someone else credit for what they had done themselves. Often people try to take credit for what someone else has done.…

Curly had two days to act and Swansea had two months.

I think it’s just interesting that every defense of Swansea not immediately acting are the same ones that are argued against for Curly. “He didn’t want to alert Daisuke or makes things worse for Anya either Jimmy!” I mean people also assume that about Curly and the crew. “He has to think about his plan of action and a right moment!” Again so did Curly, power and authority aside, he still would have to think of what he had to do. “He makes sure he doesn’t have to be around Jimmy!” So did Curly and they only do this to an extent, both give Jimmy more than a few opening to keep harassing Anya.

This isn’t defense of Curly nor a damnation of Swansea. Their actions are very parallel to each others in tragic and sour ways when it comes to how they approached helping Anya. In the grand scheme of it all they both did the same thing: Nothing. No action either took stopped the inevitable outcome of her death nor Jimmy’s continued damage to themself.

The only real difference is Swansea didn’t like Jimmy which is pretty substantial, but also just as damning as Curly knowing how bad Jimmy could get to an extent. He had even less of a reason to wait, even more of a reason to act seeing as he was now worried for Anya AND Daisuke. He is not bound by the possible procedure as Captain and actively does not care about what happens next. So what does it matter if he acted in the moment? Why did he wait? I think he’s just as morally complex and grey as Curly and we hold him on a pedestal that still perpetuates things in rape culture the game critiques.

It’s not just enough to dislike and be abrasive to predators/abusers like Jimmy. It’s not enough to just put yourself between them and the other person. It’s not enough to hold tensions when you know someone is vulnerable. He and Curly do the exact same things but on different sides of the coin. I ask how is it better to not turn a blind eye but still not really do anything about what you are seeing? Not until it affects you atleast…

The game makes a big point to not put men doing the bare minimum or who wait to do more on pedestals and I’m actually surprised so many are missing that point.

Thinking about it now, the majority of Orym mischaracterization comes from him (and Liam) saying one little thing and people taking it to the extreme

“You called a hit on my family” and now Orym forgot about his living family and doesn't care about them

“Thinking in black and white is comforting” and suddenly Orym only thinks in black and white

“The gods are watching” and now Orym is 100% pro-god

“We're at war” and now Orym is a man who only cares about vengeance

“I am pressuring her” and suddenly he will always choose the mission over bh's wellbeing

“I have also spent time thinking how to neutralize each of you” and now he will gladly kill bh the second they turn dark

“Every one of us makes our decisions with the lenses or prisms we see life through. I can't take mine down” and suddenly he's incapable of having any productive conversations

Obsessed with the way Evadne's relationship with Apollo is described. Obsessed with the way Apollo was especially gentle with her because she was sheltered, hidden away and hadn't had any sort of experience with love prior to Apollo (and due to it being described as her 'first learning Aphrodite's joy' through Apollo', it was probably her first time even being attracted to someone). Obsessed with the way when she runs away, she stops in a violet patch to give birth. Y'know, violets, very famously the flower so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used in love potions? Those violets. Obsessed with the way that when Apollo realised his lover was going to have to deliver their child alone, he sent BOTH the goddess of childbirth and ALL THREE OF THE FATES to help and support her. Obsessed with the way that Apollo sends snakes to feed his baby honey straight from their fangs because Evadne abandons their son out of straight primal fear when her stepfather finds her and how the description of that honey is 'sweet venom' [ἰός] of the bees and is DEFINITELY a poetic pair/pun with [ἴον] aka violets and that every single thing about this relationship, conception and birth is a complete and utter fairytale down to Evadne's insanely overprotective stepfather having an immediate change of heart when he learned Evadne's child was an actual, legitimate Son of Apollo and the babe, after being cared for by his dad's honey-fanged snake buddies, was found perfectly healthy five days later swaddled in a blanket of violets (y'know the flowers so strongly associated with Aphrodite that they were used for lo-) and they called him Iamus aka Boy of the Violets which is AAAAAARRRR I AM GNAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE

Iamus was made of love. Everything about him was surrounded by deep and profound love and like, let's not even talk about his whole Thing of when he came of age and was like "I need to find out what my purpose is" and he literally had a Disney Protagonist moment where he ran out into the wilds and was like "Father!! Grandfather!! Tell me what I'm supposed to doooo!!" and then APOLLO FUCKING ANSWERED AND LED HIM TO ONE HIS TEMPLES ENTIRELY BY TALKING WITH IAMUS AND LETTING HIM FOLLOW HIS VOICE FOR THE WHOLE JOURNEY LIKE -

What do y'all know about the kind of SSS tier romantic escapades Apollo had fr?
