Brookings Institution: William Galston: The American People to its Leaders: Ground Troops Against ISIS & a Stronger National Defense

Source:Brookings Institution I think its pretty clear about what we’ve learned in the last thirteen-years or so in our Middle East adventures. That if you try to defend and govern a country that won’t do that for themselves, then they’ll expect you to stay indefinitely especially if you’re also putting up the bills. And the answer to that is don’t fight other people’s wars for them. This is what…

shout out to Katolis for being a diplomatic powerhouse. King Ezran is blood brothers with Azymondias, King of the Dragons. his aunt is Queen of the Sunfire Elves. his half brother is the only Human Primal Mage, and the only person to ever master two arcanum's. their staunch allies with the human kingdom of Duren. attack this kingdom, and the whole world's gonna attack back

If you have an f/o that loses many people close to them, imagine them allowing themselves to grieve in front of you. To be held in your arms as their shoulders shake with the force or their crying because they need to let it out or it'll consume them from the inside out. They can be vulnerable with you, they can fall apart with you, knowing you'll help them pick the pieces back up.

The difference in popularity when it comes to the nine ἀριστῆες who volunteered to duel with Hector (ten if we’re counting Menelaus) has never ceased to amuse me. Like, despite being specifically listed by Homer to tell you that they’re the best of the best and having a bunch of mentions in the Iliad, Idomeneus and Meriones just didn’t get the popularity as Diomedes and Odysseus got, then Agamemnon and the two Aiantes having the next tier of popularity. Still, I believe the two of them were mentioned every now and then. Meanwhile, do I even need to mention Eurypylus son of Euaemon and Thoas son of Andraemon?

I do remember seeing on the dreaded red app some people seeing the "Messmer mourned the loss of a brother-in-arm" quote and the fact that he didn't execute Andreas and Huw as a sign of being merciful but also like. His treatment of them is the opposite of having mercy. He quite literally entombed them alive and left them to starve to death alone if not for the company of stone statues and sorcerers long gone mad

MiqoMarch Day 08 - Fav. (Side) Job

When she's not running around as Ninja or Summoner , Arsay's next choice is the lance. Being bestowed a source of draconic power by Midgardsormr moments before his slumber, and knowing how to channel the powers of Bahamut with dreadwyrm trance, Arsay's power as a Dragoon rivals that of even the former Azure Dragoon. With that said, she'd much rather use her polearm to hunt monsters.

Honestly, yeah, the thing I most want to see from any Xellos/Whoever ship is Xellos subsequently having a bit of a psychological breakdown over falling in love, kind of Last Unicorn-esque. Like that scene in TRY where Valgaav questions the purpose of the conflict between the gods and mazoku, and Xellos starts going "That's not a thought we're allowed to have!"

But in this case it's not a thought but a feeling, a contradiction of purpose; love is antithetical to mazoku, to their essential nature. Loyalty and servitude are one thing but love is another, more selfish condition. If Xellos loves then it means he has been fundamentally changed, reshaped into something that isn't human but isn't like the other mazoku either.

And once he knows love how can he unknow it? The change is irreversible- it's a bit like those stories where a human gains a bit of eldritch understanding and the knowledge prevents them from ever living a normal life again, except in reverse. The eldritch gains a bit of human and becomes tainted by their newfound knowledge and they can never go back to being what they were.

Maybe that's even quite literal! That love could be a dangerous infection which would prevent Xellos from being reabsorbed by Zelas as that love would subsequently taint her, and ultimately prevent her from rejoining with Shabranigdu. Xellos can never rejoin with his lord no matter how desperately he may wish it, because the essence of himself is no longer compatible with other mazoku. Love has made him a poison to himself.

Xellos would really be going thru it, is what I'm saying.
