#Samson's vengeance

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

Samson and Delilah

One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute and went in to spend the night with her.

When the Gazites heard that Samson was there, they surrounded that place and lay in wait for him all night at the city gate. They were quiet throughout the night, saying, “Let us wait until dawn; then we will kill him.”

But Samson lay there only until midnight, when he got up, took hold of the doors of the city gate and both gateposts, and pulled them out, bar and all. Then he put them on his shoulders and took them to the top of the mountain overlooking Hebron.

Some time later, Samson fell in love with a woman in the Valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. The lords of the Philistines went to her and said, “Entice him and find out the source of his great strength and how we can overpower him to tie him up and subdue him. Then each one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.”

So Delilah said to Samson, “Please tell me the source of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”

Samson told her, “If they tie me up with seven fresh bowstrings that have not been dried, I will become as weak as any other man.”

So the lords of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings that had not been dried, and she tied him up with them. While the men were hidden in her room, she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”

But he snapped the bowstrings like a strand of yarn seared by a flame. So the source of his strength remained unknown.

Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me! Now please tell me how you can be tied up.”

He replied, “If they tie me up with new ropes that have never been used, I will become as weak as any other man.”

So Delilah took new ropes, tied him up with them, and called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”

But while the men were hidden in her room, he snapped the ropes off his arms like they were threads.

Then Delilah said to Samson, “You have mocked me and lied to me all along! Tell me how you can be tied up.”

He told her, “If you weave the seven braids of my head into the web of a loom and tighten it with a pin, I will become as weak as any other man.”

So while he slept, Delilah took the seven braids of his hair and wove them into the web. Then she tightened it with a pin and called to him, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”

But he awoke from his sleep and pulled out the pin with the loom and the web.

“How can you say, ‘I love you,’ ” she asked, “when your heart is not with me? This is the third time you have mocked me and failed to reveal to me the source of your great strength!”

Finally, after she had pressed him daily with her words and pleaded until he was sick to death, Samson told her all that was in his heart: “My hair has never been cut, because I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaved, my strength will leave me, and I will become as weak as any other man.”

When Delilah realized that he had revealed to her all that was in his heart, she sent this message to the lords of the Philistines: “Come up once more, for he has revealed to me all that is in his heart.”

Then the lords of the Philistines came to her, bringing the money in their hands.

And having lulled him to sleep on her lap, she called a man to shave off the seven braids of his head. In this way she began to subdue him, and his strength left him. Then she called out, “Samson, the Philistines are here!”

When Samson awoke from his sleep, he thought, “I will escape as I did before and shake myself free.�� But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

Then the Philistines seized him, gouged out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, where he was bound with bronze shackles and forced to grind grain in the prison.

However, the hair of his head began to grow back after it had been shaved.

Now the lords of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to their god Dagon. They rejoiced and said, “Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands.”

And when the people saw him, they praised their god, saying:

“Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy who destroyed our land and multiplied our dead.”

And while their hearts were merry, they said, “Call for Samson to entertain us.” So they called Samson out of the prison to entertain them. And they stationed him between the pillars.

Samson said to the servant who held his hand, “Lead me where I can feel the pillars supporting the temple, so I can lean against them.”

Now the temple was full of men and women; all the lords of the Philistines were there, and about three thousand men and women were on the roof watching Samson entertain them.

Then Samson called out to the LORD: “O Lord GOD, please remember me. Strengthen me, O God, just once more, so that with one vengeful blow I may pay back the Philistines for my two eyes.”

And Samson reached out for the two central pillars supporting the temple. Bracing himself against them with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other, Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.”

Then he pushed with all his might, and the temple fell on the lords and all the people in it. So in his death he killed more than he had killed in his life.

Then Samson’s brothers and his father’s family came down, carried him back, and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah.

Judges chapter 16 explained

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

So this is our first kinda hint that all is not well in the world of Sorcerer Supreme as it turns out Strange didn't conjure these things, he actually brought the skeletons back to life. The others realize they can't just have a ton of living skeletons walking around so they have to put them down while the monsters scream for mercy.

Iris needs to stop questioning how Grimsley gets his info- but she has it, and she's sat here in the accident and emergency waiting area, hunched over her laptop, culling leads. The Investigation team did the largest share of the work- in a matter of hours, cleaning footage, narrowing it down to a single block. The one Orion's club is on.

Right. Check the footage from there.

Half an hour later Samson comes down to find his youngest daughter staring daggers into the screen of her beat up old laptop. Iris looks tired, old makeup fading from her skin.

"Plasma. It was targeted."

He supposes that whatever's left of Plasma would want to get at the region's Champion- but why? No group-no matter how barebones and disorganised just randomly attacks anyone on the street nowadays.

Samson is fairly certain he sees blood creeping out from the gaps in Iris's clenched palm.

"This is my fault, dad."

veilguard spoilers !

literally None of these characters are above b tier for me except davrin and that's carried by him being a grey warden that doesn't need me to therapy speak him into being fixed.

sorry to be a toxic origins bro on main but my favorite characters are always the ones that don't recognize me as the player character pressing the buttons. their development isn't contingent on me making choices for them. they have opinions i don't agree with and which i can't change their mind on, a la vivienne/anders. alistair is one of my top companions because he has LINES in the motherfucking SAND. he will be your brother and/or your lover for the entire game but if you don't put his vengeance above your duty to the wardens, he will leave, if not attempt to seize power and force his ends. same for most all other origins and 2 companions (and inquisition to a lesser degree) - A. the option EXISTS to fundamentally piss them off to the degree they will want to kill you, and B. some of them literally WILL try to kill you. that's how roleplaying games are supposed to work. i am supposed to be a person in this world surrounded by other people in this world and i expect it to feel like that. moreso, i know they CAN make it feel like that, because they DID that in all 3 previous games.

there is no way to fail loyalty missions in VG. characters are so lukewarm that the guild of looting, pirating thieves exercises ethical tomb raiding and does monologue you about it. not a single one has any opinion that beckons you to use your brain cells. these characters do not evoke any emotion from me. i could write whole think pieces on why vivienne has the disposition that she does, why she thinks she's right, why i fundamentally disagree with her but still greatly empathize with her and consider her the best option for divine (out of 2 other companions that are just as complex). i have NOTHING to say about the veilguard companions. there is NOTHING to talk about here.

every single one of their villains are entirely one dimensional and unforgivable. THAT is the true disney aspect of the game. loghain, meredith, samson, calpernia, bhelen, branka, the architect, celene and gaspard, even fucking HOWE all have nuances and complexities to them that, even if you still end up at the conclusion that they're awful, you still have some things to think about. there are reasons leading up to their descents into cruelty and madness beyond just "me wanted power :p for fun :p"

this is also part of why davrin is the only memorable character for me; his villain was someone i knew and, frankly, the only interesting one out of the entire lot but only because she had an entire book's worth of setup. harding's was also great but because of the larger issue with zero catharsis for the titans, i have to kick her down several tiers with the rest of Mid Town.

don't get me started on the hardening system and how it can literally only happen to a single companion as a consequence to a single choice in the entire game. and then that 'hardening' actually has no bearing on their loyalty missions or, in neve's case, their romance.

the game does not make me think at all. it is designed to be consumed but not digested. there is nothing beyond the curtains. there is nothing to discuss. there is no nuance, no spice, no complexity, no grey areas. all that exists to talk about here is "i liked this part" and "i didn't like this part".

it is, like too fucking much of modern media, brain rot soup. and it doesn't even taste good.

Lavellan as Empathy

When talking about what kind of rare and marvelous spirit Lavellan might be, we usually settle on Hope. It makes sense. As the Herald/Inquisitor it is her job to inspire hope.

However, I would like to posit an even rarer spirit. Empathy.

Empathy is the ability to be aware of others' emotions and to try to feel those emotions from their perspectives. It isn't sympathy which often involves feelings of pity. Empathetic people do not judge. They do not jump to conclusions about how another person is feeling, they offer support and they listen. They walk a mile in another person's shoes.

Being empathetic is hard. It is often seen as a weakness. That's why it is so rare. Empathy doesn't mean you agree with a person all the time. It just means that you understand why they are doing what they are doing. That understanding can lead to you saying the right thing to get them to pursue a path that doesn't hurt others.

We see our Inquisitor do this all the time if we are trying to play a "good" Inquisitor. We choose to ask questions before we make a decision. We help the refugees, side with the mages and offer comfort to our companions. Even if we don't side with the Templars, we feel for them. We understand why they made the choices they did. We may even spare Samson because we understand where he is coming from. And Solas sees all of this.

Also consider how Lavellan (and any high approval Inquisitor) approaches Solas. She actively listens to him and asks questions about the Fade. When his friend dies, she offers comfort and support (The next time, you don't have to mourn alone.) She appreciates his efforts. She wants to understand him. He isn't just her Fade expert. He is a person. She weighs his words carefully before making a decision.

Solas himself will say he is not used to support from others. You can interpret this a number of ways but given what we know about him from Veilguard, I choose to interpret this as very few people showing him anything approaching empathy.

Do you know what flows from empathy? Wisdom. If you can walk a mile in another person's shoes, you can make wise decisions that help that person. Compassion flows from empathy. Self-sacrifice flows from empathy. Altruism flows from empathy. Forgiveness also flows from empathy. If you understand a person's feelings and motivations, you can more easily offer forgiveness.

Lavellan displays all these traits in DAI.

We see this in Veilguard as well. When everyone is discussing tricking Solas or forcibly binding him to the Veil, she is the only one besides Emmrich who advocates trying to talk to him. She does this knowing what Solas has done and what he intends to do.

She empathizes with him, even if she may not agree with him and her suggestion about how to handle him is based on that. She knows he needs forgiveness so he can forgive himself, so she offers forgiveness, compassion and understanding.

And, I would argue, empathy is something Solas struggles with. He is not empathetic to the plight of the Dalish, for example - until the Inquisitor asks him to put himself in their place (what course would you set for them, that is better). When he does, he understands their struggle and the obstacles they face and recognizes that they can't do what he wants.

I think Solas knows this about himself. He knows he should be less judgemental. He knows he should listen more and react less but the part of him that is becoming a Pride spirit resists this. Her ability to empathize is something he admires. He respects what she is the same way he respects what Cole is. He wants to find his way back and she offers a road map.

SO I think the spirit Solas recognizes in her is Empathy. Something he desperately needs to set a better course for himself.

And with regard to Mythal. Consider. Benevolence or Justice needs to be tempered with Wisdom otherwise they become Retribution and Vengeance. Wisdom needs to be tempered with Empathy other wise it descends into Pride. Mythal needs Solas but she does not respect him. Solas needs Empathy and he admires her.

lessons in anatomy XII

a yandere art professor John Wick x drawing model muse! reader AU... (also featuring Matt from River's Edge. If you haven't seen the movie that's ok, I will fill in the gaps as we go...) warnings: dark adult themes, violence, sex, drugs, yandere shit. plz don't read if u can't handle it ->chapter map

XII.

You can't leave your apartment for weeks. 

It's not that you just don't want to, or you don't feel like it. You literally, physically, cannot make yourself go out. 

Scared is an understatement. The dread you feel for the outside world is like a syrupy poison that has filled your bones. 

You were fearless once, but that was before something bad happened to you. Turns out that maybe deep down you've been a coward all along. 

Matt called you again later, to tell you that Samson and Layne seemed to have gone missing. A part of you is afraid that they're still out there, waiting. But another part of you whispers that they've gone somewhere they can't return from. 

He asks if you want some company, but you turn him down. You don’t blame him for what happened, but you don’t think you can handle it just yet. 

You call in for several shifts at the bookstore, which is not going to help your net income at all. You have some savings, but you really shouldn’t dip into them for this. You wanted to use it on a cool trip, not an agoraphobic staycation. But life happens, and it seems like hiding under your blanket has become your thing. 

You have nightmares of Samson reaching for you, and Layne’s cruel smile. 

You also dream of him.

Your mysterious Lone Wolf in his elegant mask. 

In your dreams you have the sense to let him take you in his arms and not let go. You dream of running from some looming danger with your smaller hand in his. You dream of kissing him, and his claws upon your tender bare flesh in the shadows where it feels like you are alone together.   

Every time you wake up in a cold sweat, longing for something that can never be. Not only did you miss the opportunity to unravel his mystery because you were too much of a coward. Matt’s friends are still missing, and you’ve begun to think that whoever that man in the wolf mask had been…he may have exacted a vengeance on those two that could land him in a lot of trouble, if anyone found out. 

You have no proof of anything. Your memory of the night isn’t even reliable. Just when you think you can put your finger down on something…it slips away into shards of images and feelings and sounds, but nothing you can hold onto.  

At first you fill your time with a lot of staring at the wall in the dark.

Then, a creative wind hits you, and you sit at your desk manically painting and cutting and glueing tiny bits of paper into one of the vintage boxes you’d picked up at the thrift shop that day with John. You make a scene of a towering dark forest in deep purples and blues with fog rolling through the trees, and teeny tiny dolls of Little Red Riding Hood chased by a pack of wolves. And even though it might be terribly incriminating…you add a van on fire in the distance, flames licking out of every window. When you finish you feel slightly better about it all–or at least like you’ve gotten something off your chest. 

Maybe you don’t know what happened…but you lived. You shouldn’t feel guilty about that…right? 

You close up the little box and bury it deep in a drawer, a secret just for you. 

You also know that maybe you shouldn’t be keeping that wolf mask on such open display on your nightstand…but you can’t bring yourself to move it just yet. It makes you feel better, just having it there like a totem to ward off evil, as though if you should move it your attackers might come back for you.  

Your groceries dwindle, until you are down to nibbling on an old box of stale crackers you had leftover from a gettogether months ago. They are not good, but you don’t really taste them anyway. 

When your next modeling session comes up you know you have to go, for your own sanity as much as anything. Your appointments at the school are less frequent, but they pay better than any of your other gigs. 

You're not wild about the idea of taking your clothes off at the moment, but it's not the class Matt is in, and it’s not like Professor Wick pays any attention to you anymore anyway. You are just a body. Flesh to be transferred with marks on paper, with no special feeling. 

Once, there was a certain freedom in that, but for some reason now it just leaves you feeling hollow inside. 

TBC...

(English version) Crowley meets Samson

|| A little writing from our favorite demon, just doing his job.

『 Then Samson cried out to the Lord, saying: “O Lord, remember me, I pray, and strengthen me, I pray, just this once, O God, that I may take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes.

Judges 16:28 』

...

From the beginning, the idea had seemed absurd.

I mean, did they really have to go through all that trouble of tempting Delilah first, and now, dissatisfied with the results, they had to stir up the drunken Philistines to have them bring a blind and chained Samson to the feast?

Crowley took another sip of the wine that the servants were passing around in small wineskins; it was sweet with a hint of spice, good and expensive without a doubt. His feet led him through some of the guests who were eating and shouting praises in the form of chants to Dagon, though most were so drunk that Crowley thought that, if the creature existed and could hear such a ruckus, it surely wouldn't be pleased. He vaguely wondered if God truly was. The redhead then approached the crude main table, where the group's leaders were drinking. A few persuasive whispers from the demon were enough to spread mockery and begin the humiliation of the prisoner. As no one seemed to pay much attention to the man with glasses as dark as his clothing, he was able to get closer to Samson and, after another sip of wine, spoke.

"This stuff is pretty good, you know? Though, of course, you’ve never tasted—nor will you ever taste—a single drop, right?" he mentioned casually. "I mean the wine," he clarified, remembering that Samson couldn’t see him, nor the wineskin he was holding. The man turned his face slightly in his direction, with his hair covering part of his face, offering no response, too busy murmuring a prayer to God. Crowley clicked his tongue. "Yeah, um...I don't think that will do you any good. God is probably too busy right now, and they"—he glanced around—"they don't seem too interested in making peace with you. I don't blame them, of course..." he shrugged as the other continued murmuring his pleas. "Anyway, if it comforts you, I'm here to watch how 'the sins of these men will crush them'—and yes, literally! Oh well...what can I say, man? It’s probably about to happen..." he raised the wineskin towards the blind man before drinking the rest.

He made his way to the exit just as they were placing the man between the two pillars of the place, still chained. By Satan, didn’t they realize? Well, it wasn’t his problem. He just had to reap the fruits. And so he did. When the first rocks began to fall and the foundations of the place collapsed, Crowley was already at a safe distance and merely watched the rubble and the pieces of bodies sticking out from the dust and sand. Without a doubt, Samson would have his place in heaven, but there were at least three thousand souls secured for his own side.

Veilguard Spoilers Below, discussing Vallaslin and Ancient Elves, as well as a potential change I'd make to the game's story if I could.

So, the reveal that elves come from spirits that took physical form by taking Titan's blood was very cool but it got me thinking.

We know that spirits can have their nature corrupted and twisted against them to become demons - Justice becoming Vengeance, Wisdom becoming Pride, Determination becoming Spite - and it is pretty much outright stated that Solas himself had his nature changed from Wisdom to Pride by Mythal.

In the time of Elvhenan, the Evanuris would mark their slaves with vallaslin, including Mythal.

Blood magic is one of the few things that can bind demons. We see it with Spite and Lucanis in Veilguard and we see it with Solas' wisdom spirit friend in Inquisition.

Vallaslin translates to bloodwriting, which at first seems like just a fancy fantasy way to say tattoo, but in my mind that seems to indicate Actual Blood Magic.

The vallaslin aren't just cosmetic markings of ownership, they're actual physical blood bindings to allow the Evanuris to control their slaves and prevent them, even as the horrors of slavery twist their spirits into demons, from exercising any free will.

And when thousands of years later, Solas wakes up to find the Dalish wearing those same markings without understanding their history in blood magic, of course he's horrified.

How many years did he spend breaking those same bindings from his people, only to see a pale reflection of them wear them willingly as a cultural badge of honour?

In a worldstate where Solas removed the vallaslin from a romanced Inquisitor Lavellan, the gesture is not purely symbolic. It may very well have been preventative, in case anything like what happened in Veilguard happened and the Evanuris were set free.

Imagine a Thedas where dozens of Dalish suddenly found themselves bound to the service of corrupted Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain, where even a Dalish Inquisitor themselves could very well be bound to them.

The Dalish don't just up and leave for promised 'Elven Glory' because they're suddenly all about revenge at any cost. They have no choice but to because of the blood magic hold over them.

I feel like this would have better tied into the themes Veilguard was trying to hammer home with Solas. Having small stakes Dalish villains to contrast with the true overwhelming power of Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain (like Samson or Alexius were to Corypheus), who could be redeemed and freed from their bindings would have strengthened the idea that Solas himself was worthy of such a redemption.

It would have shown Rook, at least one who tried to redeem others, that it was possible and have an actual reason to do so for Solas other than "he feels really bad about it :("

by Daniel Greenfield

The gates of Gaza never became lighter except when Israel won its wars. When Samson stayed strong, he prevailed, but when he allowed himself to be seduced, he lost his sight and his strength, and then in the extremity of his despair, he fought and died heroically.

In every generation the gates of Gaza would grow heavy. As they eventually would for Dayan whose tenure as Defense Minister ended when Golda Meir’s government gave in to diplomacy and political pressure from Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and failed to strike first.

The resulting Yom Kippur War nearly destroyed Israel and began the end of the Labor Party.

But the gates of Gaza also grew heavy on the Netanyahu government and his predecessors, prime ministers Bennett and Lapid, who focused once again on international diplomacy and building an international coalition against Iran through the Abraham Accords to pay attention.

Hamas appeared to have kept its word for two years and Israel was once again blinded and forgot, as Dayan said that, “our children shall not have lives to live if we do not dig shelters; and without the barbed wire fence and the machine gun, we shall not pave a path nor drill for water.”

Israeli leftists, convinced that the Islamic Jihadists would settle for the West Bank and Gaza, the territory beyond the ‘Green Line’, despised those Jews who lived there as ‘settlers’, messianic fanatics who were keeping up a state of war and destroying any hope for a peaceful solution. And the Israeli right, Sharon and Netanyahu, came to believe that walls were the answer. Barak had pulled out of Lebanon and Sharon out of Gaza, ceding them to Hezbollah and Hamas, but Netanyahu focused on Iran and domestic economics, convinced that walls were enough.

The Simchat Torah massacres showed that walls were not enough unless they were vigilantly manned by men who truly understood, as Dayan said, that, “beyond the furrow that marks the border, lies a surging sea of hatred and vengeance, yearning for the day that the tranquility blunts our alertness, for the day that we heed the ambassadors of conspiring hypocrisy, who call for us to lay down our arms.”

On October 7 that day came and so did the killers yearning to “tear us to pieces”.

Samson could carry the gates of Gaza, but what undid his strength was the need to believe that the people he had been fighting for so long were just like him and could become his friends and lovers. Before Samson’s eyes, like those of Roi Rotberg, were gouged out, he had lost his moral vision.

To live with the starkness of the vision that Dayan laid out 67 years ago at a dusty gravesite near Gaza is too much for most normal people. Samson could not do it and neither could any Israeli leader, from Ben Gurion, who had to step in when Sharett failed, and to Sharon, who had led the 50s retaliation raids against Muslim villages, and to Netanyahu, who wanted to focus on geopolitics rather than the dirty realities that lay before him in Gaza and the West Bank.

It is easier for most to believe that some compromise must be possible, to turn over Gaza and the West Bank, to develop joint economic projects, to meet together as individuals, as one of the abducted women, a peace activist, had tried to do, to deny a reality too horrific to be real.

[waitafrikk]

tell me about your ocs.

this has been sitting in my inbox for a month whoops

im gonna go thru the ones that i tag posts with because those are my little guys i think about most. i started writing way more than i thought so ill put it here. youre all legally obligated to read tho (/j)

Lowell croft - an archeology student (kinda) with a healthy concoction of anxiety disorders due to Things. (my CoC group follows me so i wont be spoiling this but https://toyhou.se/28505595.lowell-croft if youre not in my group you can read all about him here). he also has a real bad smoking addiction but thats what happens when youre born before the invention of anxiety medication.

Cam nette - French 😥. Museum curator and cellist. Due to a traumatic event (king in yellow moment, seeing the pallid mask) cam lost his memories. He was Camilla from the king in yellow. He also got possessed? kinda? by a demon and his name is actually Camio. i played this entire several month long game with no knowledge of any of this it was so good. throughout the game his priority was mainly finding his sister (Cassilda) but this changed in the finale due to finally finding his partner.

his partner was his psychologist dont. worry about it. he tried to kill him accidentally a few times but also dont worry about that either. the playlist i have for him is 10 hours long <3333. he makes me unwell! He was also indefinitely insane for most of this game.

Amber Watts - ok so thats not their name atm but i need to keep the tag consistent. AW is a changeling! he is currently going by the name Arcas O'Reilly and is now the brother of Anfie O'Reilly (@galaxyofender hii). AW has chronic dnd dead parent syndrome (all my fault) (wait no one of them was THE DM ILL GET TO IT)

their parents died when they were ~16 due to illness and they left for another city with their brother, somchai. This city is heavily anti-fey, and AW spent this time as amelia wattana. In this city, she met Aster Rush and was normal and heterosexual about her. She also met Erdene Damir, and spent the short time there as a blacksmiths apprentice. Erdene was essentially her extra parental figure.

Somchai was murdered by an antifey group found in this area, not bc he was fey but simply bc it became known that AW was. a preventative measure essentially. Aster and Amelia fled, now Amber Watts. At this point, Amber becomes a Vengeance paladin for obvious reasons. also she was 19 at this point she should have been at the club!

They went around a while, before separating and Amber now going as Ander Wyatt, where he spent a year as a private investigator working with Rowan Woods. After this, Ander joins the part as Amber Watts again. this is where the campaign begins. we travel around and im not explaining the plot bc theres almost a years worth of. stuff.

basically where we are rn, Amber is Arcas and Erdene died of a plague we were trying to cure. the party returned to the city Amelia used to live in. Arcas has terminal teenage boy syndrome and i tried to make him a little edgier but also hes just a little guuuyyyy

you can read stuff here also! (i dont think theres any spoilers for my group, other than AWs true form)

IH ALSO THEIR PLAYLIST IS 12HRS 30 MINS LONG LMAO

[your-dandy-king]

Briel reads @britannias-god-of-war’s note, and his face twists into a scowl, his outrage practically simmering off him. With a growl, he grabs a quill and ink, slamming them down on the table as he starts to write his response, his words practically burning through the page:

Admiral Nelson,

Oh, so now you’re watching with ‘great anticipation,’ are you? You must be fucking thrilled, sitting back with your smug British grin, watching the mess you made of Le Bucentaure, like some twisted spectator at a gladiator fight. You think this is some kind of entertainment, don’t you? Watching me piece together the wreck of a ship you and your bloody Royal Navy tried to turn into fucking driftwood?

Let me tell you something, Nelson — you may have won the day at Trafalgar, and you may have dragged Le Bucentaure through the mud and blood, but don’t you dare think for a second that this is the end of him or me. Marseille doesn’t fucking surrender, not to you, not to your fleet, and sure as hell not to the idea that we were bested by the likes of you!

You call my speech emotional? I call it the truth. I’ll fix him up, stronger and meaner than before, and when he sails again, he’ll be coming straight for that fancy British fleet of yours, with every plank and every sail a big middle finger to you and everything you stand for. Because unlike you, we don’t hide behind words or titles or behind fucking tea and scones — we build, we fight, and we keep coming back no matter how many times you try to break us.

So you keep watching, Nelson. Keep your eyes on the horizon, because one day you’ll see Le Bucentaure cutting through the waves again, and I promise you, he won’t be coming to exchange pleasantries. He’ll be coming to settle the fucking score.

Enjoy your anticipation while it lasts. It won’t be long before your grin fades and you realize that some ghosts don’t stay dead — they come back for vengeance.

Sincerely,

Samson Briel, Master Carpenter of Marseille

With a final flourish, he slams the quill down, the ink splattering slightly, and seals the letter with a ferocity that matches his glare.

Skyhold Quest: Sit in Judgment

Raleigh Samson

Skyhold Masterpost Related Quest: What Pride Had Wrought Related: Cullen Cutscene Related: Dagna Conversation

Cullen: Forgive me, Inquisitor. For personal interest, I have relieved Josephine. As you might expect. Knight-Templar Samson, general to Corypheus, traitor to the Order. The blood on his hands cannot be measured. His head is too valuable to take. Kirkwall, Orlais: many would see him suffer. I can’t say I’m not one of them.

Dialogue options:

General: A serious matter. PC: Judging him will affect as many as his crimes. I won’t take it lightly. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Too valuable to kill? Really? PC: The headsman’s axe isn’t enough? That’s an impressive amount of ill will. ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Don’t worry. He’ll suffer. PC: I can make him answer for what he’s done.

Samson: The red lyrium will steal your vengeance. You know what it does. Corypheus only delayed my corruption.

Cullen: Are you still loyal to that thing? He poisoned the Order, used them to kill thousands!

Samson: Templars have always been used. How many were left to rot, like I was, after the Chantry burned away their minds? Piss on it! I followed him so templars could at least die at their best! Same lie as the Chantry. The Prophet just isn’t as pretty.

Dialogue options:

Special (completed Before the Dawn): Maddox respected you. [1]

General: I want to be merciful. [2]

General: Your defense is pathetic. [3]

General: You coward. Blame yourself. [4]

1 - Special: Maddox respected you. PC: I found your people. They believed in you. Believed your cause was righteous. Samson: Not your business, Inquisitor. Cullen: Your friend Maddox was so loyal, he killed himself. For you. Samson: They were always going to die. I saw what Corypheus was doing, so yes, I fed them hope instead of despair. I made them believe their pain had purpose. Just like the Chantry does. Right, Commander? It ended as well as anything else I’ve done. Corypheus would kill me on sight. I’ll tell your people what they want. Everything I cared about is destroyed. [5]

2 - General: I want to be merciful. PC: I’m looking for a reason to be merciful, but you’re making it difficult. Samson: Did I ask for mercy? I know what I did. I know none of you can understand why. Cullen: You were always weak, and your leadership proves it. Samson: Every one of those templars would have suffered until nothing was left. And then be forced to kill and die. I gave them hope. Just like the Chantry. Just like you. But I’m weak, and you’re a savior. Do what you want, I’m done talking. [5]

3 - General: Your defense is pathetic. PC: You led them to their deaths, but did a good job? That’s your defense? Samson: I’m not offering a defense! What I did was a mercy for templars already lost. Cullen: You were always weak, and your leadership proves it. Samson: Every one of those templars would have suffered until nothing was left. And then be forced to kill and die. I gave them hope. Just like the Chantry. Just like you. But I’m weak, and you’re a savior. Do what you want, I’m done talking. [5]

4 - General: You coward. Blame yourself. PC: Coward. You pretend you had no choice, but you could have fought. Samson: I fought and lost, long before Corypheus! Your commander thinks he knows what that feels like. He’s wrong. Cullen: You were always weak, and your leadership proves it. Samson: Every one of those templars would have suffered until nothing was left. And then be forced to kill and die. I gave them hope. Just like the Chantry. Just like you. But I’m weak, and you’re a savior. Do what you want, I’m done talking. [5]

5 - Dialogue options:

Special (mentioned Maddox): Cullen will question you. [6] +Approves - Cole, Solas, Iron Bull +Slightly approves - Vivienne, Blackwall ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General (Dagna recruited): Dagna will study your powers. [7] +Approves - Solas +Slightly approves - Sera, Varric -Slightly disapproves - Dorian ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Interrogate him. [8] +Approves - Iron Bull +Slightly approves - Vivienne, Sera -Disapproves - Cole, Solas ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Let Kirkwall have you. [9] +Approves - Sera, Varric ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Shove this coward in a hole. [10] +Slightly approves - Sera -Disapproves - Cole ㅤㅤ ㅤ

General: Exile him to wilderness. [11] -Slightly disapproves - Cole, Iron Bull, Varric -Disapproves - Solas

6 - Special: Cullen will question you. PC: Very well. Samson, you will spend your remaining years serving the Inquisition. Cullen will be your handler. Perhaps he can get something useful out of you. Samson: I doubt the commander believe there’s anything worthy left in me. Cullen: You’re not wrong. But you served something greater than yourself once. Perhaps you can be made to remember that. Scene ends.

7 - General: Dagna will study your powers. PC: Samson, you can still be of use to good people. What you know is less important than what you are. My arcanist will study your resistance to red lyrium. Samson: Do as you will, Inquisitor. Your kind always does. Scene ends.

8 - General: Interrogate him. PC: You lost the right to choose your fate. You’ll help us, willingly or not. Cullen, extract what he knows. Samson: There’s no point, Inquisitor. There’s nothing left of me to break. Cullen: We shall see, traitor. You’ve forced it on us, and yourself. Scene ends.

9 - General: Let Kirkwall have you. PC: We could use more friends in the Free Marchers. We’ll barter you there. Samson, you are a traitor and a murderer. Kirkwall’s leaders will decide your fate. Samson: Do as you will, Inquisitor. Your kind always does.

10 - General: Shove this coward in a hole. PC: I’m sick of looking at you. There is no hole deep enough. Samson, you will spend your remaining days rotting in a cell. Get him out of here. Samson: Do as you will, Inquisitor. Your kind always does. Scene ends.

11 - General: Exile him to wilderness. PC: You don’t deserve a cell where you can die in comfort feeling sorry for yourself. If the lyrium takes you, Samson, let it happen while you and cold and alone. You are exiled. Samson: And when I lose myself, what then? You demand punishment for the lives I took, but release me to take more? Cullen: It’s too late for you to die like a templar. Look into dying like a Warden. Scene ends.

The Theme of Forgiveness in Cole’s Personal Quest

The theme of The Veilguard will be regret. But there is more to getting past regret than just deciding to get over it. To experience regret is to experience shame and guilt. It is to feel sorry for causing pain. It is about penance and forgiveness.

While I don’t know how that will play out in The Veilguard, I believe we see some of those same themes in Cole’s personal quest, Subjected to His Will. As Trick Weekes wrote Cole, Solas and presumably the quest, I think there are aspects of it that could be relevant to Rook and Solas’ arcs in Veilguard. Since there are potential spoilers, I will put the rest under the cut.

The quest revolves around the question of whether Cole should become more like a spirit or more human. There are pros and cons to each, and I really don’t think there is a right or wrong answer. What is interesting is how very Old Testament that section of the quest is.

Cole, Varric, Solas and the Inquisitor find the man responsible for the real Cole’s death. Cole’s immediate reaction when confronting him is, understandably, anger. It’s not so much that Cole wants revenge as it is that he feels he must seek it. The man was responsible for the real Cole’s death; therefore, he must die. Basically, an eye for an eye.

It’s an interesting set up because we aren’t being asked to decide whether the man will die. As Varric points out, no one is suggesting that. We are being asked to decide how Cole will heal. Will it be by exacting revenge or by offering forgiveness.

One thing we always overlook during the quest is the ex-Templar himself. We don’t consider his feelings. Feelings he has been living with since the day the real Cole died.

What we know immediately is that he is an ex-Templar. He wouldn’t be buying black market lyrium if he wasn’t. We also know how harsh a life that is due to Cullen and Samson’s backstories. As the Templars wouldn’t care about the real Cole’s death, he wasn’t kicked out because of that. Which means he probably left the order because he couldn’t stand to be reminded of what he had done. He regrets it. He is sorry.

So, on one side we have a man who feels so guilty, he leaves the order, subjecting himself to a precarious existence because he can’t forgive himself. On the other, we have the person harmed by his actions, seeking recompense.

Cole has two options. Or rather, we are given two possible paths for him. If the Inquisitor sides with Varric, he is offered the opportunity to exact revenge. This helps Cole grow but I would argue it is the easier option. Vengeance is simple. It makes us feel better right away. Forgiveness is much, much harder.

Why then does Solas advocate for it? Because forgiving someone who is truly repentant is an act of compassion. Cole is a spirit of compassion. To become more of what he once was, he must find compassion in himself.

And it is hard. I love the imagery of the scene where Cole confronts the Templar. The man realizes his sins have caught up to him. He sinks to his knees in front of Cole. Now he is at Cole’s mercy. At which point Solas steps in and asks Cole to feel the man’s pain.

Solas is asking Cole to empathize with the man, to try to understand not why he did what he did, but how he has felt every day since then. He wants Cole to understand that the man has been punishing himself. He has been doing penance. It isn’t working because he cannot forgive himself. He needs to be forgiven by the person he hurt.

Once Cole understands that the man has been punishing himself, he no longer feels the need to kill him. Forgiveness is Cole’s to grant or not grant. He has that much power. He chooses to forgive and in so doing frees them both.

While both ways of resolving Cole’s situation are valid,I believe that withholding forgiveness does not do Cole any good. All Cole learns from the experience is that taking a life for a life doesn’t solve anything. That doesn’t mean you heal. It just means you accept. Cole will never truly be free of the knowledge that the person he tried to help died. He was too late.

I should add that this doesn’t help the Templar either. He remembers what he did and apologizes because he fears for his life. Afterwards? He thinks the person he kills lives which means all he has done since then was pointless. That can lead to bitterness, resentment and possibly him hurting others because of it.

Now what does all this have to do with Rook and Solas? Well, Solas is carrying around about a thousand years worth of regret and guilt. Rook is probably carrying some also. Both for something they did that was supposed to save the world and ended up making things worse. They both will need to heal which means they will both need to find or accept compassion so they can forgive themselves.
