Blissful Thinking!

By Daniel Wolfert. How long has it been since you made a trip to your “happy place”? That special place within your life, memories or imagination where nothing but pure joy exists? For me it was just this morning as I rode my motorcycle 90 miles to town and back to pick up some supplies. Late yesterday afternoon as the temperatures soared into the high nineties, I took a dip in my newly…

One of the philosophical/theological differences between judaism and other religions is how we conceive of the consequences of doing bad things.

I just heard someone say, "well jews don't believe in hell, so why don't you-" and just never sits right with me that the only thing that could prevent you from acting in bad ways are the threat of an eternal punishment. The implication that you shouldn't care about the consequences of your actions on the worldly level are astounding as well.

I care about not doing bad because it hurts people - myself included. Even if I did believe in hell... It wouldn't factor into how I live life. I fundamentally don't agree that we should treat this life and this world as a temporary home - a rest stop - where our actions only matter insofar as it affects where you go in the afterlife.

Hear me out, but I feel like Zayne would be absolutely amazing to cuddle, and we have so many card memories that feed into this. He's always wearing something super comfy looking, like a sweater, a robe, a big sleep shirt, etc. And a lot of his cards pertain to rest, sleep, or playfully getting on top of him.

And I adore spice as much as the next guy, but have you considered how just relaxing and lying down on top of him would feel? The side of your face pressed against his bare chest or the soft texture of the worn-out top he's wearing? The age noticeable, and the now-permanent smell of him sunk deep within the fibers?

How about how he could be so cool in the summer with his Evol, so snuggles never have to take a back seat to cooling down during a heat wave, because his skin is always the perfect tempature. Meanwhile when winter hits, he doesn't need to use anything- he just needs to hold you closely under the covers, arms wrapped tightly around you as he snuggles you against his chest and peppers kisses on the top of your head.

Now I love a counter-textual interpretation as much as the next bitch, but textually, when Feanor approached the Teleri during the flight,

He invited them to go with the Noldor, rather than just asked to borrow their boats (I had fully forgotten this and it's honestly so under-used): "He resolved now therefore to persuade the Teleri, ever friends to the Noldor, to join with them[...]"

The Valar's stated policy is given as an explicit reason the Teleri chose against the Noldor. I don't read it as that being the only reason, but unless you're going against the published text that is part of their decision: "But the Teleri were unmoved by aught that he could say. They were grieved indeed at the going of their kinsfolk and long friends, but would rather dissuade them than aid them; and no ship would they lend, nor help in the building, against the will of the Valar."

As stated in the quote above: the Teleri wouldn't even teach the Noldor to build boats. This is not just natural reluctance to give away prized possessions. This is actively gatekeeping essential knowledge for the Noldor to depart Aman in any degree of physical safety, specifically because of the Valar.

"And [Olwe] had never lent ear to Morgoth, nor welcomed him to his land, and he trusted still that Ulmo and the other great among the Valar would redress the hurts of Morgoth, and that the night would pass yet to a new dawn." I do wonder how long that confidence lasted. Did it survive the kinslaying? Did it survive centuries of the valar's idleness, with a slow but steady stream of reimbodied sindar reporting on Morgoth's efforts, wholly unchecked by the valar and only erratically checked by the Noldor and their allies? Did it survive the drowning of Numenor?

It is quiet. The night grows dark. The eyes grow plenty.

(I'm sorry for) the person I became

I talk to absolutely no one; couldn't keep to myself enough / And the things bottled inside have finally begun to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up

Lorelai would probably cry to Relient K a lot

As a newbie I'm hoping you can clarify something... Why is EOW Hyrule different from BOTW? The mountains switched sides, the Lost Woods are the Eternal Forest, etc

I'm also surprised I've played 3 Zelda games and none have yet mentioned the Triforce

I'm assuming you've only played botw/totk and eow? Basically the answer is that eow hyrule is probably a good several thousand or so years removed from botw/totk hyrule. You may already know this, but the lore of the loz franchise involves reincarnation, so every character you meet with the name link/zelda/ganon/etc isn't necessarily the same character. there are multiple different links and zeldas in multiple different hyrules that are usually hunreds if not thousands of years removed from each other, so usually we chalk the map differences up to natural changes of the terrain overtime. (there are a few points on the official timeline where hyrule is literally destroyed and rebuilt from scratch in a different place. so we usually don't think too hard about the map.) We don't know where exactly eow fits into the timeline yet, but it's safe to assume from context that it's an entirely new incarnation of link and zelda that we haven't seen before, which is likely why their hyrule ALSO looks different from every other hyrule we've seen before.

Is it weird to be a cis woman but want to be trans? Not trans man but trans woman. Like, I tried to imagine myself as a dude but I couldn't really put myself in those shoes. But if I was a trans woman, I don't have to deal with the unwanted subscription and probably taller

I mean lots of shit is "weird" but if you're asking me if it's dirty or evil I'd say you're probably fine
