#Great Upheaval

[chloeworships]

Luke 2:

Revelations 21:

As I finished typing this, I heard AGAIN

“A great upheaval is coming”

Everyone has been warned ⚠️

These Angels don’t play and they GOVERN the affairs of Men. These are Messenger’s and Warriors of God.

PPS: The LORD was not pleased about the Olympic opening ceremony just in case you were wondering. Although I’m sure they meant well, no one would do this to Muslims and dress up as the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) and parade around in a burka or hijab 🧕 in DRAG. This was extremely tone deaf. Paris went “dark” for a reason 🌑

The angelic activity also makes sense based on all the SEALS/SCROLLS 📜 I saw.

Just been thinking (again) about Charley being called an ‘Edwardian Adventuress’ and how much it annoys me (yes, I know they fudged an explanation in a later audio that I haven’t heard; it still bugs me).

I’m glad India didn’t go and hire a ‘nice Edwardian outfit’ for the live show as putting Charley in that sort of costume would have looked ridiculous given the massive change in fashion after the death of Edward VII in 1910 (the end of the Edwardian era) and the First World War that followed four years later. Though I’m sure a lot of older women like Lady Louisa would have taken a while to adapt to the new styles and doubtless disapproved of rising hemlines and flapper dresses, Charley was born in 1912 so has grown up during that era of change and I have no doubt that she would embrace such fashions with gusto. I mean, just look:

Here we have some Edwardian dresses, the kind of thing that would have been worn by Charley’s mother before Charley was born and were two decades out of date by the time she stowed away on the R101:

1910s, as thing start to change more:

1920s fashions, when Charley would have entered her teens:

And finally the early 1930s, around the time she left in the TARDIS:

As you can see, there’s a huge difference! India could have quite easily found an appropriate costume that didn’t rustle if not for that erroneous ‘Edwardian’ tag.

Activity will be limited from my end from tomorrow until the end of August, as I will be serving at camp for the whole summer! Let me know how I can pray for you during this time :)

I'm listening to The Suffering Game Ch. 7 (ep. 57 of TAZ Balance) and thinking about Magnus, in mannequin form, regaining his memories. Specifically when he remembers going to hide the Temporal Chalice Griffin saying, "You've made something, and you're terrified of it."

There's something incredibly evocative about that to me, and also so scary to think about.

There's something you only half remember but two things you're sure about: 1. It is a horrible thing that has been created and 2. It is entirely your fault

Visiting the well in Kakariko in ToTK and the music is really cool? The normal music of Kakariko gets quieter and the drums in the background get a little louder so what you get is a really quiet drum beat which is REALLY FUCKING COOL? (forgive me for using cool to describe it twice) Give me a minute and I'll yap more because I have THOUGHTS

considering how "heavy sleepers" (wink wink) kaz and jun are, i bet if both were around to raise jin, they wouldve enacted that "Your son is awake"/"before sunrise, hes your son" scene from the lion king

@scalproie omg yes I love that scene so much and smol Jin totally would be having those Simba-levels of energy haha. 100% cosigned!!

I really do think that given the chance to raise Jin together they would've been a very 'normal' couple despite both being such extraordinary people, and can definitely envision little moments like this. Something about how their energies mesh just feels like they would have a low-drama relationship, perfectly content to be in their own little bubble with each other. Maybe it's the introvert vibes they both give off, or how heavily they complement each other in ways that nobody else could match and that speak to the potential of deep mutual understanding.

*stares at Metaphor* ok so it doesn't make sense at all for Akira to be there. But like. What if.

While we mainly follow Arno's personal conflicts, driven by cynicism brought on by grief over his personal relationships, I think a lot about how he viewed larger French society and the time he was living through.

There's a brief moment where, at the beginning of the revolution, he says something to the effect of, "The people want to be free!" and that's the most explicit indication of how he felt about the Revolution's role in fighting classism. It suggests that he supported the idea of the French people rising up for their rights.

He himself was raised by a nobleman, albeit in a role where he was perhaps a well-treated servant. He personally has a spat with Olivier, the head...servant? Groomsman? Whom he had to answer to.

When he kills King of Thieves, he sees for himself through his memories that François De La Serre -- despite having been a good man who became his surrogate father without a moment's hesitation -- was a pompous aristocrat himself, immediately dismissing the King of Thieves and his "affairs of rats."

Arno strikes me as an intelligent man -- emotionally, intellectually, and strategically -- underneath his shitty, shitty coping mechanisms. Like, this is the kind of person who understands why he's self-destructing and how to stop it, but spirals anyway.

So I wonder what was going through his mind when he saw for himself that François De La Serre, while having great ideals that were struck down by evil men, was in some ways someone whose own arrogance brought him down? I wonder if it was a hard lesson where he had to learn that someone who was good to him was part of the problem in his society, where the working class was underrepresented in politics and dispossessed of basic human needs?

If he hadn't been wrapped up in the Assassin-Templar conflict, would Arno have been a Revolutionary himself? Or at least a supporter?

At what point in the Revolution did he become disillusioned with it? At the start of the Reign of Terror? When the populace started scapegoating other commoners?

We mainly follow Arno's interpersonal relationships, but I think a lot of his cynicism is driven by ideology and massive historical events happening around him. We're all affected by our surroundings, even if we don't consciously feel it. He went from a young, rule-breaking man to someone who was supportive -- even optimistic -- about a revolution that could change his society, only for it to devolve into carnage and just create another system where innocent people have to suffer due to the opinions of a few influential ones.

Also, he owns a cafe where people regularly gather to talk revolution and watch plays made for social commentary. You can't tell me he isn't swayed by what he sees.

The new roommate is finally Moved In and I am slowly catching up on Emily of New Moon! Brace yourselves for my thoughts on all the previous chapters over the next few days.
