Forgiven & Free: Leaving Guilt Behind

Have you ever felt the heavy weight of guilt bearing down on your soul, even after confessing your sins and seeking God’s forgiveness? It’s a common struggle for many Catholics – the lingering sense of shame and unworthiness that seems to cling to us, despite our best efforts to move forward in grace. But the truth is, holding onto guilt after repentance may actually be a trap set by the Devil…

i like that prospero and annabel were introduced as people who would do anything to get what they want, that the end justifies the means. however, now prospero is shown to have loyalty and a “conscience”. he wants to save ada bc he considers her one of their own and that will make a cool clash between both him and annabel. especially bc prospero thinks annabel has his same values and is on the same page as him.

hi can we just talk about how much finnick protected peeta? like not just in the games but after?!?!! he was the only one to not raise his gun at peeta, who stepped forward and tried to help him. he reassured him it was okay to ask questions when he needed to. he ran lines with him, told him he had this. even when he killed someone on their squad and was going after katniss finnick didn’t become violent with him. just retrained him and tried to calm him down, literally telling peeta i got you. and the line “peeta just tuck in there” I’M SCREAMING

i think the thing that appeals to me so much in a yoo joonghyuk being married to seolwha but in some sort of affair with kim dokja scenario is like. kim dokja has this perception of himself as an inherently Bad Thing to happen to a person right. like he is a burden to bear and he brings only bad things to the people who bear it. which is largely untrue of course including in this scenario. but also if their affair gets found out it will kind of nuke yoo joonghyuk's marriage. like kim dokjas love is not life ruining for most people but it is a littllleeee for a married yoo joonghyuk. so this feeds into kim dokjas neuroses and self torments sooo well. here is everything he wants in front of him on a silver platter and he is fucking desperate to sink his teeth in but!! also here is proof of the damage it will cause in the form of lee seolwha smiling and inviting him over for dinner.

so either we get kim dokja and yoo joonghyuk in an awful emotional affair where kim dokja is refusing take that final step but still so so in love with a married man in a way that hurts so bad OR we get a physical affair that kim dokja is terrified of and self flaggelating for and using as proof to himself that he doesn't deserve any love at all because look at what he does with it. and either way you have a yoo joonghyuk who doesn't really understand this and reaches for kim dokja not knowing how much it hurts him because he just loves him. and thats how kim dokja convinces himself that he truly is ruining yoo joonghyuks life and runs away to like. germany or something over it!

you ever think about the fact that they stayed in the past for several days longer than they needed to and it’s very much implied that swaine was the one holding them back. bc I do

Boromir is excluded since he was first; Pippin is excluded since he won the first poll.

I am very curious about the people who voted for Sam in the last round given his canonical level of resistance; whoever you vote for, I would love to see your reasons in the tags!

Mad At Yi Why Anon - Thanks for explaining! It makes more sense now lol. I never expected them to be grateful for being "saved," I'd just think it's certainly a choice for them to Most Mad at the only guy who wasn't going to let them rot. But if it's a "we need someone to blame" then that makes sense.

Even if he wasn’t gonna let them rot, he WAS gonna take them out with him had his True Ending Sacrifice gone as it had in the game. They don’t know this, this is just extra DoobYi characterization. But he wasn’t expecting to be alive, either tbh.

That said, he takes the public opinion of him and the Sols very seriously and doesn’t blame them even if sometimes the grievances are heavy-handed. This is a Yi who will apologize many times over for the actions of the council, for the failure of the project, for the lies and the lives ruined, both apemen and solarian, and for the individual hurts he’s caused to Kuafu, Goumang, Shaunshuan and Heng. If Eigong and many of the other Sols are not here to share the responsibility, then he will shoulder the blame, as he believes he should. Even if, y’know, everyone who IS glad he didn’t die is telling him to knock it off.

I said it weeks ago, but loved the confirmation that Moo is the catalyst for Kang dreaming again and opening himself up to go after what he wants.

Kang was more open and honest in this episode with everyone who matters to him than he’s been in any other episode. He was straight forward instead of deflecting in fear.

He owned up to his feelings for Moo with Neth and admitted that it was his mother that was the greatest reason he didn’t want to pursue Moo.

He asked his mother about how his father wooed her, and it lead to a beautiful coming out scene where Kang admitted that he didn’t want to disappoint her or cause her pain again. And his mom was able to affirm that he’s not a disappointment and he hasn’t caused her pain. That she loves him as he is and he deserves to be loved.

And he went and did art outside of his own paints, going back to the place he was tutored.

He told Moo that Moo’s determination to follow his dreams inspires Kang to not let his die. He opens up to Moo, not only agreeing to date him but to share why he didn’t go to university in the shadow of his fathers death and his mothers disapproval of his art, and that he’s planning to submit his portfolio and pursue his dream.

I don’t think that it’s going to be a fully smooth ride, but I am so glad to see him being honest with all the people in his life today. His truths were so carefully protected by his high walls but he opened the doors to the people who matter.

(transgenderdoctorwhomst) the Pond Family Nightmare is so fun. and now i'm rotating the potential fallout of amy dragging the doctor into the past with her and now his options are 1. wait around for the rest of amy and rory's natural lives and then some until he lines back up with his tardis and river, or 2. choose to abandon amy and rory and figure out how to extract himself from the paradox so he doesn't have to watch them grow old and die. either way, she has brought him into his canonical worst nightmare (being stuck in a mundane linear life long term) and he wants to be mad at her but Can't. hi. brainworms.

i know right. it’s like the twisted nightmare version of fourteen ending up with donna’s family. there will be no therapeutic recovery here, just the joyful moments constantly overshadowed by the feeling of being trapped, loomed over by the shadow of death that inches a little closer to the people he loves every day. and it is so slow. simultaneously never enough time but too much, enough to fill with all the anger and fear and powerlessness he feels.

and then rory will say they’re having dinner in a few minutes, and the doctor will go to join them, and when they’re laughing and perfect and right there in front of him to reach out and hold (which he does, often,) all those feelings drain out of him. how could he leave them early? it’s a constant cycle of struggling to escape, maybe even reaching the last step, and then letting go again because he spent last night in the garden with amy stargazing when she had a nightmare. who would stay up with her if he wasn’t there? who else would understand the ache of two thousand years like an old scar in rory’s memory? that’s what he’d tell himself, the ponds need him. because if he admits he’s staying because he needs them, then how is he ever going to survive when this ends?

and then, of course, there’s also the whispers and stares the three of them would get together. i doubt a century or so in the past would make amy stop referring to them both as hers, but hey, they’re all already used to being the freaks on the edge of town. maybe this world is one where they raise a son as well. i don’t know if the doctor could bear to be a father again at this point, but he’d try. (the same way, i imagine, that amy can barely look at herself as a mother, but she has to help this boy. all three of them looking at him and thinking, “you will not live in a world as lonely as mine was.”)

he’s going to lose them eventually. and it’s going to break him worse than a nice clean snap of connection could have. they’re going to be burrowed into his bones by the end, and he’ll have to dig them out bit by bit. good luck getting him off of that cloud in the sky this go around.

(( ⌨ What’s a situation you’ve always wanted to RP with the muse? - For Ben! ))

Ask me things!

He's a brat that lacks guidance, always running from himself. Though he has parental figures like DB & Peepaw, he doesn't have anyone to truly scold him like a parent would.

On purpose, of course. He'll dip from interactions if something trips off his 'trusted the wrong adult' alarm. He lives at a campsite with Tatl and Epona! It's isolated from the NPCs because he got tired of their routines... Similar to Flowey, but without the resentment.

BEN can't build meaningful relationships in his own world. He doesn't know what happens when he beats MM, but he knows he doesn't want to be a statue again. BEN knows what Link should be, and he knows that he can never live up to it.

He robbed Termina of their Hero and he's ... scared!

So he lashes out at anyone that'd recognize the situation he's in (like Grey and, only at first, Death! :P), meet his favorite characters because Oh my God that's Dancing Banana from the hit meme I saw before I died! and kiss his favorite Pokemon trainer on the lips because he played waaaaay too much G&S on the bus ...

Escape the eternity you're doomed to, forever tantalized by reality beyond the wires your of your soul. Pretend you're a fictional character now, it's fine.

So ... Pspspspsppsps at more people to scruff him and poke him. Just be warned he may scare you with his sword because he has "trusting adult strangers" trauma. But. Mun don't caaare.

Man I’m not a solavellan but saying the solavellan ending is bad cause lavellan gives up everything for solas is. A choice. cause like not only is the ending something you have to very actively choose to do and work toward but depending on how you played inquisition she might not actually be giving up that much.
