Just said "sheesh, Kenna, you're the smartest person I know" out loud while reading your tags on the FMA Truth and Ed's atheism post. Then I realized that Indiana probably doesn't care as much for this information as you might lolol

honestly i'd originally written a really annoying ramble about gods in fiction under that post and now i'm so glad i deleted it to write that much more succinct breakdown of my thoughts on the matter

#I have such a ramble I could go on in every single direction of this topic because this is the stuff i think long and hard about #but im not even sure which part of my tags impressed you lmao #i feel like im just constantly shouting 'theres nuance!' about an issue which has #in fact truly deeply caused a lot of pain and hurt in the world! so like of course people dont want to see the nuance!#and they dont need to! thats a thing for me to have fun thinking deeply about - if its a cause of strife dont even worry about it!#i am actively working on a story right now where the 'gods' are knowingly lying and manipulating the mortal population #but like. they can't not. because they're not 'gods' as is all-knowing all-powerful supposed-to-reward-the-good-punish-the-bad #i think because thats a kind of god referred to in stories that im disinterested in. its boring and also comes with so much baggage #im way more interested in 'gods' as in creators. and thats it. i made this planet but thats all i can do. i cant fix it #or i made this ocean. i cant stop you from drowning in it i can just make ocean #and i'd never thought of it in terms of the laws of physics but like YEAH ACTUALLY. gravity as a god. i pull things together #you NEED to fight it sometimes! it kills you and it keeps you alive and there's no morality to it!#im also interested in gods as like. alien consciousnesses. like if there was a guy out there and he gave you life but #if you looked at him he would blind you and if you touched him he'd vaporize you #like just take all the physics and reality of the sun and put it in a person-shape and give it a voice #like again theres no morality to the sun! but once we personify things like that we start putting morality and baggage on them!#anyway im rambling lmao i could go on for hours. i just loved the idea of Truth as god just like Gravity as god
