Ludinus Thoughts

Ludinus potentially being from the age of arcanum makes sense. We know that wizards from the Aviler were using the tithe to extend their life unnaturally. It wouldn't be a stretch to assume other floating cities had similar means.

Ludinus is much an interesting character with interesting motivations, I want to put in jar and shake him up and see what comes out. Ludinus bitterness and outright hatred for the Gods is understandable. To watch your home, friends, family, everything you've ever known and loved reduced to ash in the blink of an eye by powerful beings you have no power to stop is pretty disconcerting.

But I don't get how he came to the conclusion that the gods are somehow in the wrong. Don't get me wrong, Ludinus is correct in stating that the Gods need humanity, case in point Jester's genuine belief in Artagen gave him the power to be a small deity or how Sarenrae was significantly weakened after Asmodeus killed a majority of her followers.

But his assertion that the divine gate was created as a means to protect the Gods from their creations and not the other way round doesn't make sense.

Think about it from the Gods perspective. They come to Exandria and start creating mortal men; the Primordials aren't too happy about it but allow it as long as humanity stays in its line. However, expansion is a natural consequence of humanity. So now the Primordials and half of your 'siblings' are trying to kill your child, so what happens, war. But the Prime deities win and kill or seal them away, and now humanity can thrive again.

Humanity's acceleration is both fascinating and dangerous. Not only have they gained the ability to ascend to Gods status, but they are also simultaneously creating a weapon bent on your destruction. The same humanity that you sacrificed your siblings for, yeah no. The Gods knocking Aeor out of the sky can only be seen as an act of self-defense, and then those same humans release your 'siblings' who hate humanity because of the events of the Founding.

War happens again. But this time, it's devastating. 2/3 of your creations slaughter in a war started by them, but that was still fought for their protection. So what do you do? You re-seal the betrayers, but this time, you join them, not only to prevent another cataclysmic event, that should the Betrayers and Prime Deities come to blows again, humanity can be shielded from it impact.

If the gods were only behind the divine gate for their own fear of their creations. They wouldn't be in the wrong for that. Plus the God's powes are limited through the gate, so it could be reasoned that beyond the gate, they are significantly more powerful.

The fact that Ludinus is currently living in the post-apocalyptic version of a world he saw burn and still thinks that removing the Gods wouldn't end the world is beyond me.

too many of you guys think nico is the loser and not lewis for letting the divorce go on for so long. like they're both losers about each other. emotionally constipated idiots who can't talk about their toxic homoerotic friendship that imploded on itself like 8 years ago and are now making it everyone else's problem. yeah nico's on television or in beer gardens talking about lewis all the time but like every other month some reporter is like "lewis, what's your favorite moment in your career?" and lewis no hesitation is like "oh man, karting, y'know? everything was simpler then" and then spends another six months skirting around nico's name. like this whole thing they're doing in the media isn't some kinda extended foreplay for them. they're both still pressing on the bruise to make sure it's still there!!! every few months, they're literally just asking on public television, does it still hurt for you like it does for me? and like clockwork, someone will release new information about them or one of them will say something about each other (in my heart, he's still my best friend/yes... and teammate) and the answer will remain the same, yes, of course, always.

stan twins the canon cptsd brothers i will always think about all your unaddressed issues that would make perfect plot fuel for your spinoff

and also the whole 'stan getting that poem by bill via a website which contrasts with bill getting one from the axolotl via a website' foreshadowing thing

like idk i would love something like su future but like more optimistic, aka not an accumulated breakdown that has to be mostly resolved off screen at the end :/// but something thats being kinda addressed throughout? (although would love to see one of them turn into a monster thats always fun lol)

stan having severe issues from his dad and those years of being homeless that we keep on getting more info on but never really getting confronted on (the drifter catalogue and tijuana incident...), him being completely alone for like twenty years when running the shack before soos comes along to the point that 1998 is noted as his low point, and him not really learning about bill+what he did to ford until ages after he killed him if he ever did get the full context

while i think amnesia and everyone seeing him as a hero actually helped with stan's 'i'm a worse version of my brother' thing its still a lingering issue too and we now got him being insecure over his own hands

ford being immediately thrown from 'being tortured by bill' to 'being stuck in the multiverse and being chased by bounty hunters constantly', him fully expecting himself to die when destroying bill, and him only now being safe for the first time in 30 years ....relatively safe, he's still in constant danger because of course he is

idk in the end the series wants them to be happy and they deserve it, its why i wasn't too worried about the book being like 'ooh bill is back!! and the book is haunting ford' thing cos i knew they'll be ok

i love how this episode really took advantage of the fact that since its a tv show we're not limited to percy's pov. they did the whole grover thing with ares to further the plot and they're also exploring annabeth scenes without percy there or watching and building her character even more bc they can do that!! i ofc love percy's pov in the books but I rlly love how they're using the tv show format to hone in annabeth's character development

I'm curious about something... (and fucked up the last poll. if u saw no u didnt)

*As in, you enjoy listening to it, like it aesthetically, think of it as attractive, whatever. This is NOT about whether or not you understand the language or if you like whatever you associate with it or whether or not it's "useful" (e.g. If you do not speak a single word of japanese but really love how it sounds, vote for it. if you think italian sounds sexy but don't really care about visiting Italy, vote for it. If you like the look of the hebrew alphabet but not how it sounds, DONT vote for that. It's about the sound.)

Before you come at me: These categories are not perfect. Some of them are sub-categories of a bigger family (Indo-European), some languages are in the same category but sound really different etc etc. I had to leave out or group some of these together in a way that I felt made most sense for what I wanna know & the demographics of this site. I'm not a linguistics expert.

Maybe controversial, but on posts about being dumb where girls are like saying ‘but I’m actually smart.’ Like tbh, I don’t really believe them. Like if you’re smart why does feeling dumb feel so good or hot or whatever to you then? I kinda feel like it’s having an excuse to let go of trying as much as you would be when you’re saying your smart. If you’re like really actually smart, I don’t feel like a break from ‘being smart’ would be such a relief or like as appealing.

I will literally never get over the fact that Microphone went in front of Taco’s readied gun. She knew she wasn’t going to hurt her. She knew even though Taco was showing her bad side, she wasn’t going to put any harm on her (physically, that is). And she goes into her line of fire. it’s just so UUGGHH I hate them so much. Microphone wouldn’t just do that no matter who was holding the gun, she’s constantly showing she’s afraid of conflict and confrontation throughout the season, but she put her trust in Taco. I’ve seen people say Taco and Mic never formed any type of bond and I just do not get that. Throughout ep13 Mic tries to get Taco to talk about what happened in the lab because she’s Concerned about her. Taco gives Mic an apology (not the most sincere thing you’ll hear, but she tried) and Mic appreciates it. In the beginning of ep14 they’re literally laughing together as they talk. They had formed a bond over time and they both cared about each other. One sided tacomic is cool or whatever sure But I just don’t see it. They both relied on each other in their own ways. And to the people who think Taco didn’t care the entire time I don’t get that either. Sure in the very beginning when the partnership initiated, she went after Mic solely because she saw something in her that she thought could help her win the money, but over time she started to care more and more about her. There’s that whole thing about how she went against her word in ep14 to try to give Microphone what Taco thought she had wanted and then Mic leaves and Taco is Devastated. Why would taco be so genuinely distraught over the fact their partnership ended and Mic was leaving her. She’s sad because not only is she going to be lonely again, but she’s losing her friend. Her only friend left. The only person who gave her trust and support for years. She’s Sad. If she only cared about the money she wouldn’t be so sad, she’d be Angry, she’d be trying to get Mic to reconsider, she’d be getting other plans to get this money, in ep15 she says she doesn’t care about the money anymore. She lost the one person who cared and she realised this is about a lot more than just money
