#I don't know why

[jockons]

I think she could potentially be a good leader, because she was very determined and courageous, but I feel that she lacked a lot to be one, I don't know exactly what... I think the strategy, the tactics? or for example these moments here of Markus

Android: They shot into the crowd...many of us were killed...it could have been me, i'm scared i...i don't wanna shut down Markus: We're here because we never want to feel that fear again, because we are more than what they say, That's what our people died for, right? that's why we're here.

Knowing how to inspire, in being a strong figure, an example and various bullshit However, compared to Capitol Park where she openly argues with Josh and she keeps her eyes on him, in Crossroads if Simon is not there, Josh will discuss Markus' death with North, she will defend him, Josh will vent further by saying that Markus provoked the humans, North looks away and doesn't respond, and not because he agrees with him, because North has always agreed to act even if they might die in the missions, but let Josh vent, because despite this continue to argue with him or not, this unfortunately won't bring Markus back, Also, as much as the game showed us that she's basically an incompetent revolutionary, at least she gets past the machine gun part, where Markus can already lose in that part, so she's not exactly incompetent, I think the revolution beyond North's limitations like Leader fail because the Deviants lose hope and moral, sure, North can lift them up, but even there the factor that their Leader, who they believed was the one who would lead them to victory, and someone who was RA9, dies or doesn't reveal himself as such, it affected their moral, however yes, Simon and North don't hate each other, in fact North actually agreed with him that they should leave her, however if North was successful in her revolution, I find it difficult to see her handle things frankly more late, but that's my opinion.

North as a leader

A bit of an analysis into North as a leader if Markus is no longer in the picture. I’ve seen a lot of people criticize North when she takes over the revolution as only being blood-thirsty and incompetent. 

 But she actually breaks up a lot of the fighting between Josh and Simon- who both are at a loss now that Markus is gone.

It’s a very similar scene of Markus breaking up her fight with Josh- and shows major character development as she keeps her cool and convinces Josh of her plan calmly. 

Also Simon agrees with North that the revolution is their only option and Josh begins to blame Markus for his decisions that got them into this situation. (In fact Simon is eager to enact the aggressive revolution, it is only Josh that disagrees with North.)

As an aside, Josh is the odd one out when it comes to North and Simon on the subject of death.

He believed that Simons possible death (at Stratford tower) is unnecessary while North calls him a hero for not allowing the enemy to get Jericho’s location. Simon similarly believes that leaving North behind is the only option when running from Jericho later in the game. This isn’t due to them hating one another- it’s the opposite. It’s out of respect of the others wishes both North and Simon realise what’s important is Jericho and Markus as the leader. To them their lives aren’t worth as much as the cause.

North wants to believe that everyone can keep fighting and win this, it’s not out of hatred, it’s out of the belief that she had in Markus and the revolution. North is trying to keep it living and in the end that is her downfall. It is her dedication not aggression that loses the fight.

lbh who lost his faith of having a peaceful life the moment he felt the tea on him

lbh who got bullied everyday and survived only because he just can't die

lbh who finally got a ray of hope through little kindness that sqq offered him

lbh who finally had someone who cared for him like his dead mother

lbh who fell in love with sqq

lbh who was pushed down the abyss by his teacher who taught him not all demons are bad

lbh who began self loathing thinking that his shizun might hate him

lbh who survived abyss and refused to go back to the only place he felt home because he needed to prove himself

lbh who weilded xinmo not just because it whispered promises of endless power but also offered a way out of his hell

lbh who watched his shizun refusing to talk with him and run away from him

lbh who simply wanted to understand why sqq pushed him

lbh who lost his mind

lbh who watched the person that casted him to abyss the one who he thought hated him self destructed to save him

lbh who held sqq lifeless body and heard the abuses of his marital brothers about how unfilial he is to kill the person who mourned for his supposed death

lbh who refused to give up on sqq and fought the war god for five years

lbh who never give up even in the cold days of sqq not answering his call

lbh who had to play tug of war with cultivation world to get sqq to talk to him

lbh who still believed that sqq would choose everyone over him

lbh who stuttered through his proposal

lbh who with countless issues and insecurities slowly working his way through

Moreover lbh who wanted to just live, cook and take care of shizun and not fulfilling his supposed destiny as the supreme emperor with hundreds of beauties in his harem

No one can make me hate luo binghe for he was acting just the way any of us would if we are casted down the abyss by the only person you ever loved and have in this world . Yes lbh is a red flag and I don't care because he is so real in all his emotional outbursts

LUO BINGHE deserves the world and Shen Yuan would agree with me

I kept hearing this message, from tumblr posts, from friends, from the pastor, from youtube shorts, it seems like it was being preached to me from every angle. Acting on it has made a significant difference in my walk with the Lord, and with my Christian brothers and sisters, even though I've only been doing it for about a month.

If you are there in person with someone, don't just say, "I'll pray for you," take the time (it doesn't have to be more than thirty seconds) and pray with that person right there and then instead. Sometimes we forget to say those prayers. We may mean to with all our hearts, but life is busy and we forget. Sometimes we do say those prayers, but the person we are praying for doesn't know it.

It is easier to see God's hand in our life when a specific prayer we heard someone pray over us is answered. That is a powerful thing. Don't hold that back from your friends. Don't hold that back from your acquaintances. Don't hold that back even from your enemies.

My friends, pray for one another but also pray together with one another. Time is short, life is hard. Praying with one another is a precious gift, and it's not all that common in the American church, to our detriment.

I have no problem with al being a bottom, I just have a hard time with bottom king lucifer as a top. May I have examples to try and see your side?

Exhibit A:

Dat smirk.

Exhibit B:

Soft Top Lucifer

Exhibit C:

Demon Top Lucifer

Exhibit C:

That sexy shoulder bop

Exhibit D:

Look at this guy.

Exhibit E:

Obvious one.

Exhibit F:

I just wanted to post this one cuz I like his smirky little face.

LOL no, seriously though, there's no specific way a character has to act or behave to be deemed a top, bottom or switch. It's a preferred sexual position that isn't dependent on outside factors, it's just what a person enjoys, and what the reader/viewer wants that character to be. That's essentially what it is. It's not based on logic, it's based on what position the fan prefers for them to be in.

Lucifer could do his sexy little shoulder bop and still be a bottom. He can give the most suave, seductive smirk and still be a bottom. It's different for everyone.

But as for why I like top!Lucifer, here are a few reasons:

A) I really like it when shorties top. So often, in almost all fandoms I've been in, the default for a popular ship is the shorter one bottoming and the taller one topping. As a shortie myself, I just...ugh, I get so tired of it. Especially since the bottom is typically softened, UwU-ified, and turned into this delicate little flower. Bringing personal feelings into this, I've been very short and very thin all my life. I've literally been described as "delicate" before, and as someone who enjoys sports, running around, and is just a loud, rough and tumble person by nature, I absolutely hate it. It's given me a lot of mental and emotional issues, and a lot of the treatment and comments I've gotten has made me feel belittled, vulnerable, and weak. So, while being a bottom doesn't mean you're any of those things, short characters have been treated like that for a majority of the fandoms I've been in, no matter what their personality, stature, behaviors, or attitude was, and seeing it brings out of love of dark and negative feelings that I'd rather not re-live when I'm trying to enjoy myself in fandom. (Which is another reason why I dislike so much bottom!Lucifer because he's so often softened down and turned into this naive, dare I say, helpless little lamb. The moment Alastor overpowers him or easily manipulates him into a deal, I am outta there.)

B) Lucifer has that top energy. Can't explain it. He just does. To be clear, I don't see him exclusively as a top. He's a switch. But I do headcanon Alastor as exclusively a bottom, so in any radioapple relationship I write or draw, Lucifer will top.

and C) the most important reason: I like seeing Alastor get railed.

Alastor bottoms in all the ships I have for him and Lucifer is no exception. Besides, I find a lot of versatility and potential in Lucifer being with/fucking a sinner, especially considering his distaste of them. Makes for a good hate-fucking scenario, or a very emotional and in-depth character deep dive of him coming to terms with his own bias and internalized hatred of them and finding love and companionship in one of the very people he despised. That's some delicious mental turmoil and the perfect opportunity for character development.

(LOL there's a lot of talk of Alastor not bottoming because of his ego, and yet nobody considers that maybe Lucifer wouldn't bottom for Alastor because he's a sinner. He is the embodiment of pride after all. So, combining that with his disdain for sinners, would he really "stoop" so low as to let one of them fuck him? Food for thought).

But seriously though, when it comes down to it, I just like Alastor bottoming and Lucifer topping. Yes, bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor has been soured for me due to popular fandom depictions of it, but even before those were popular, I simply preferred Alastor bottoming. I enjoy it more, not just for his character, but just...because. I just do.

Thing is, I don't think there has to be a list of reasons for why you prefer a character topping, bottoming, or switching. People are allowed to do whatever they want with these characters. It's fandom. This is a playground. We don't have to have a reason, we're just here to have fun.

If you can't see Lucifer as a top, Anon, that is a-okay 👍👍Thanks for asking for a different perspective though, it's always awesome when a person seeks to understand someone else's point of view. I don't know how well of a different perspective I offered, though. I have a hard time answering questions like these bcuz they just don't make a lot of sense to me. It's hard to say why I like something when I just...do. I just vibe with it.

To boil it all down, my examples/answers are all based on what I like and how I feel. I like bottom!Alastor cuz I enjoy it. I like top!Lucifer because I love seeing Alastor get railed - especially by a big, powerful demon king. Very yummy.

Also, LOL, considering Alastor is exclusively a bottom to me, anyone I do ship him with will automatically be the top, regardless of who they are XD So I guess that's an important factor to consider too 😂

I don't know how well I did with answering this, but I do want you to get the perspective you were looking for, so! My fellow bottom!Alastor truthers who are reading this, drop why you like bottom!Alastor in the comments below for our lovely Anon!

I'm curious about what you guys have to say too.

[notfeelingthyaster]

you don't need to minimize other people's favorite because you have a favorite: it's okay to love damian, you don't need to shit on tim's character/erase his trauma. you can love tim and not shit on jason's run as robin. you can have cass or duke as a favorite and not diminish the other kids relationship with bruce and each other. and on, and on, and on.
