what kind of love are you?

Aune: Love as a Choice

You choose to love. Love does not come to you easily, but every day you wake up and choose it. It would be so easy, wouldn't it, to grow cold and callous and grim. But you rise to greet the world, making the conscious effort to find something, anything to love. When you fall for someone, you do not kid yourself of their flaws. Instead, you resolve to see them for who they are, mistakes and all and you love them all the same. Your love is work, and it does not come easy. Your love sweats and toils. It is calloused and sunburned; it bears scars and comes with stories. Your love is worn, but no less valuable for it. Being loved by you is like being loved by a gardener, a mother, a teacher. Your love may not always be the simplest, but it is worth the effort.

Aune (as Durge): Love as Religion

Devotion, that is the name of your love. Your love is an act of worship. Your love is like witnessing the birth of Venus, like seeing the sun come alive, or the stars fall. When you love, it is because you have found God in a lover. You have found the meaning of life itself in the heart of the one you adore. They are everything to you; they are your Maker, you are their lamb, their flock, their first and holiest worshipper. When you fall in love, it is a baptism. You are born anew, made a believer in the divinity of the one you love most. Being loved by you is an ascension; it is holy and golden. It is all-consuming and all-faithful, loyal as the dog. You will never, ever bite back.

Don't mind me. Just thinking about how the Cleric to whom freedom of choice means Everything and is going through a crisis of faith did not get "Love as Religion"; But the Bhaalspawn to whom choice was never an option loves like religion — because the idea that anyone could love someone as wretched as them must certainly be holy and worthy of devotion. And to be devoted is to choose to surrender - knowing your lover could be the end of you - and still doing it. Because you have FAITH
