The idea of Riley introducing Arcade to Yes Man has been eating my head for ages- It's gotta be the most awkward first meeting imaginable.

Basic rundown: Shortly after first visiting the Legion Fort, pissing off Caesar and retrieving the platinum chip, Riley decides to open up to Arcade about what he found in Benny's suite after he initially ran off: a new friend with a potential plan to throw all major parties out of New Vegas. So he promises to eventually introduce the two, and imagine Arcade's surprise (or lack thereof) when this 'friend' turns out to be a giant reprogrammed securitron robot.

First impressions are... interesting. I feel like Arcade would definitely be a little unnerved at first, but surprised at the potential for an independent Vegas.

Responding to this post as a separate post because I want to respond to something that I think is beyond the scope/intention of the original post (and honestly the scope/intention of the response in the linked post) but that, like.

I want to respond to it because it's been churning in my head.

Specifically the idea of the Protestant Work Ethic and trying to earn your way into heaven.

Because that's the very antithesis of what the Gospel is.

Over and over, it is made very clear that you cannot earn your way into heaven. (Titus 3:5 and Ephesians 2:8-9 are the ones that come immediately to mind, but there are more than that. (I also like - Romans 4 and the entire discussion about it being faith and not works and especially Romans 4:4-8.)) Literally one of the entire points is that you are stuck in your sin and you cannot get out and no matter what you do, you cannot earn your way in, but God loves you and chose you and wants you, so He paid your debt Himself (Jesus) and is giving you His righteousness - His perfection - because He was the only one who could earn His way in.

God is for you, not against you.

Are there things you should be doing? Yes. (Ephesians 2:10 talks about that, too.) But, like. It's not to earn your way in. It's out of love and gratefulness to the One who got you out of your horrible predicament? And then on top of that, made you a co-heir with Him?

Because it's...He paid for you to get in and then also you got adopted as a child of God? And someone described it once as good works after that being like when a child makes a drawing for their dad and their dad hangs it on the fridge? It's not to earn anything; it's because you love Him, too?

So, like - I want to know where the Protestant Work Ethic went wrong. Why so many people think it's about earning their way when it isn't that at all.

It's a gift. It was always a gift.

#musings #Christianity #dash commentary #and i know with my ocd and scrupulosity i get caught up in trying to do stuff to keep something i could never earn in the first place #but that's - it's so easy to get caught in that trap and it's. not. true.#and the discussion of suffering -> perseverance #man i wanted to talk about this re: nagito too because some of his stuff he brings up at the beginning of chapter 2 twists that too #(it's romans 5:3-5 btw).#but that's a different discussion imo #and it combines with my not liking the conversations that pop up on my dash every now and again about witnessing #and that we're just sending people out so that we can be told no so that we can go back to our in-group and reinforce our in-group #witnessing at its most basic isn't #it actually came up in the sermon yesterday - and one of the comparisons was like #if you invite a vegan or a dallas cowboy fan to a barbecue #you will know who these people are #if you bring up danganronpa around me i'm probably going to go off on it #witnessing AT ITS MOST BASIC is LIKE THAT #but more important?#like this is my best friend and i would like you to meet my best friend?#but also more than that?#it's not...about that #but again #that is a separate topic that wasn't brought up i'm just #spitballing now #sorry y'all this one was sitting in my mind and i just #i don't understand how the protestant work ethic got to this #which is the antithesis of the Gospel #stopping now

tomgreg is not "i could fix him" nor "i could make him worse" but "i could make him feel like a real person." from both ends.

#tomgreg #there is genuine incompleteness on either end without each other #i'm thinking nrpi and the mutual obsession and being (successfully) singularly inclined toward monetary success #EXCEPT in regards to each other #greg having only the most naive aspirations until he meets tom #tom having an essentially directionless desire to be a caretaker until he meets greg #i'm thinking of that one rebvilla tg art with the caption #'doderick fell from the fantasy doggy land and became a real boy in the arms of a guy named tom'#i'm thinking of how the last time greg smokes weed onscreen has him throw it away when tom shows up #how he first does coke. an upper. onscreen directly as tom shows up #tom wakes him up and guides him #greg gives him someone to guide #they're both sponges that soak each other up bc they were sorely missing something #the ethics of their behavior are besides the point #the point is that they cease to be performative about it. tom gets less conservative greg gets less liberal #bc both were masks that weren't necessarily real #'don't be an asshole greg you don't have PRINCIPLES' <- tom accurately calling greg out for being fake #i'm thinking we don't change minds. maybe we do change minds.#once again whether it's in the direction of being 'good' or 'bad' could not be FURTHER from the point #bc the human condition does not condern those things. LOVE does not concern those things.#they just push each other in the direction of being complete people. of being fucking real #mine

I want to thank Misha Collins for inspiring me to do things that, for legal reasons, I cannot disclose online

and no, this is not a joke. Misha, through GISH especially, showed me not just the power of art-as-activism, but what creative modes function best in that setting, and how to organize and lead such efforts.

what I've done with that knowledge, again, would be legally dangerous to admit online

but I'm so happy I know how to do it. I've become a leader in my community, and a supporter of large and powerful movements.

specifically, those spaces know me as an artist. an artist with endless and diverse creative ideas, who knows no fear, takes no shit and is especially good at resistance and point-making via "funny" and lighthearted art.

would Misha approve of what I'm doing?

most likely, FUCK no he wouldn't

he's made himself damn clear where he stands on this stuff, even via silence alone

but I have him to thank anyway.

#misha collins #misha fucking collins #supernatural #love the character hate(?) the actor #Dont Meet Your Heroes.jpg #no ethical celebrities under capitalism #listen I'll meme on and cheer on Misha forEVER but know I have zero respect for him as a person at this point #“Misha Collins” the celebrity/public figure? hilarious. memeworthy. what the fuck is wrong with this man #actual human person Misha Collins? yikes. ik exactly what the fuck is wrong with this man and its Rich White Dude Syndrome #i feel like its a good day to mention that celebrities are putting on an act even when they act as themselves #fuck! im getting to know that firsthand rn!#for a far less controversial example see Jensen Ackles being a Total Deangirl Freak(i love him) and only wearing green at photoshoots #vs Jensen Ackles flying to hawaii to do a golf tournament while wearing khaki kneeshorts #btw I dont think this makes all actors bad or is a bad thing. its just part of the nature of celebrity.#the spn characters > the actors “in character” as spn actors > the blandest rich white texan men you'll ever see (they are v pretty though)#long ass tags #headcoldposting sry coherence is gone #I personally try to “play myself” on camera as principled organized and well-spoken. creative but clear on the movement's goals #in actuality I'm panicking almost 24/7. I drown myself in destiel angst nonstop and 50% of my internal monologue is in Old English.

why are they laughing at him as he gets straight up killed??? he doesn't deserve this! he's a sweet kid at heart! he literally just needs one (1) real friend!!

#jack facts #willow and xander and tara all got that exact type of chance and you could argue the same is true for cordelia and anya!#and why don't we just not even start in on angel #like jonathan went from attempted suicide to so grateful for one moment of attention he created a whole award to give about it #to IN ONE YEAR becoming so powerful a witch he seamlessly altered the perception of the entire population of the world #without any adverse effects to himself and only the one (1) flaw that is inherent to the spell he used #to all but instantly giving up that power when he realized it posed danger (that he understood) to people #to feeling genuine remorse for doing that even tho he needed it explained to him why they were so upset #and making every apparent effort to learn that with humility and offer whatever wisdom he could in return #to... this.#like why tf didn't anybody say hey man are you doing alright after being suicidal?#hey man the spell you did was wrong but that doesn't mean you can't do magic anymore why don't we meet up sometimes and study together #or better yet he could have mcfuckin joined the coven god damn #like they went from witch being a relatively gender neutral combo of innate talent and learned skill in early seasons #to now we're supposed to forget the boy willow and amy did spells with in hs + the fact that giles himself was in an all male coven #and even believe that only Special Girls like willow and tara can do any significant amount of real magic at all #why on earth is willow the biggest witch of ever and started out floating pencils and then having a whole plotline #about learning to use her power ethically and control herself and practice temperance and etc #AND anya gets to be a good guy even though she has to be taught about ethics and consent and compassion and all that too #but jonathan's thing is being soul crushingly lonely and having no self esteem but being incredibly sweet once given the time of day #and is instead relegated to two bit loser villain?#why because he's the Actually Uncool type of unpopular instead of the Too Smart And Nice To Be Popular type of unpopular?#makes me sick he literally just needs a friend. just one genuine friend who cares about him personally. that's all.#and it's not like they're doing a ''this is what happens to vulnerable kids when no one cares about them!'' thing which would be different #no they're just like lol he's unpopular like our protags but he's also short with a nasally voice! which means he's bad!#once again i swearrrrr i'm not doing armchair psych on a creator based on the content of their work #please i swearrrrrrrrrrrr i'm not doing that i prommy i know it doesn't work that wayyy i knowwwww #don't worry about ittt i'm so totally definitely not doing that at allllll #anyway

So I watched that three part BBC documentary on Ze and honestly, it was just okay? I think I expected too much from it, which is on me. There was definitely far too much putin - I skipped through most of that.

It does give a solid enough background on the birth of Ukraine as an independent nation & the struggle to get there. There was some nice K95 archival footage in the earlier episode, but no particularly new information. They do give Ze a fair amount of credit outside of the 'comedian to president' pipeline which is v important I think.

Overall, I'd hoped for a lot more from something which made out it would be sort of, in Ze's own words? I'd have much preferred a longform interview with him & surely they must have filmed more than the maybe, idk 30 mins of footage that's sprinkled through the 3 episodes?

For me it was a solid 6/10 - nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering; just a decent enough foundation.

#I'm kinda disappointed by it? like - it's a lot more surface level than I had anticipated #there was one quote where he talks about his own work ethic ( 'when everybody works. you work. when everybody sleeps. you work' )#and he always seems to have been like that- I am constantly in awe as someone who is exhausted by three meetings a day #but yea - it was just fine IG
