Danton getting warned about his upcoming arrest compilation

One day I told Danton: ”Your carelessness surprises me, I understand nothing of your apathy. Don’t you see Robespierre is conspiring to lose you? Won’t you do anything to prevent it?” ”If I thought that he has so much as thought about it, [Danton replied], I would eat his entrails!” Five or six days later, this man so terrible allowed himself to be arrested like a child and slaughtered like a lamb. Mémoires sur la Convention et le Directoire (1827) by Antoine-Clair Thibaudeau, page 60.

One morning Panis entered [Danton’s] office and found him warming himself by the fire and playing with his nephew, who was still a child. Here, read your proscription and mine! [he said]. And he presents him with a draft of an arrest warrant, written by a member of the government committees. Danton, having read it, replied coldly: They will not dare!... Panis, in despair, withdrew. (M. Menuel, this nephew of Danton, told me about this meeting. Panis had also told it to a few people who confirmed it to me). Histoire de la Révolution française: 1789-1796 (1851) by Nicolas Villiaumé, page 188.

The day before the arrest of Danton and Camille Desmoulins, he (Rousselin de Saint-Albin) ran panting to both of them several times, he engaged them, begged them to be on guard at a time when Robespierre and Billaud were plotting their downfall. But Danton thought he was too strong to listen to a warning that would have saved him. “They will not dare,” he said; then, looking at himself in a mirror:“Let us not fear anything, children that you are! See my head, doesn't it sit well on my shoulders? And why would they want to kill me? What's the point? Among some friends who were present at this interview, one said: ”There are many proscribed deputies who fortunately escaped. Dulaure, Doulcet, Louvet retired to Switzerland. What prevents you from absenting yourself for at least some time?” Danton replied: “What does it mean to absent yourself? Isn’t that emigrating? Do we take our homeland with the sole of our shoe?” Camille shared this opinion. Alas! It was blind security. ”I want,” he said, as he repeated going to the scaffold, ”I want to share the fate of Danton, whatever it may be.”  Œuvres de Camille Desmoulins (1874) by Jules Claretie, volume 2, page 393. Claretie claims this anecdote originates from the mouth of Desmoulins’ mother-in-law.

The two committees signed arrest warrants against Danton, Desmoulins, Philippeaux and Lacroix for the following night. In the morning, Marat's sister, having learned about it through the indiscretion of an employee of the Committee of Public Safety, who had heard a few words, ran to warn Danton. As he had already left for the Assembly, she went there and called out for him.  “Mount the rostrum,” she said to him. ”You have no time to lose, because the rumor is that you have already been arrested: the opportunity is favorable: Tallien presides: your friends are numerous, and your eloquence will crush the committees. In circumstances such as these, it is the one who attacks who wins.”  ”I would have to proscribe them, replied Danton; because I know Billaud and Robespierre: they are relentless.”  ”But since they want your head, take, if necessary, theirs, remember that, without you, Robespierre will very quickly be swallowed up himself. My brother told me the day before his death that he was only good at making speeches, that he understood nothing about government, and that he would lose his head at the first crisis. If he abandons you, his friend, you, the man of August 10, he is only a villain; he must perish. Collect your thoughts for an hour, and mount the rostrum: change the committees; proscribe them if necessary.  "Well! Once they have me arrested, would I not be acquitted by the revolutionary tribunal and brought back in triumph, to the Convention, like the Friend of the People was? Then my enemies will be confounded and order will be restored without bloodshed.”  ”Don't be fooled: last year the tribunal was impartial; now it is only the slave of the committees, which after having hindered the defense of the Girondins and that of Vincent, will prevent you from speaking.” Danton fell into reverie.   “Above all, remember,” added Mademoiselle Marat, “that you must neither flee nor hide. Several patriots, in their friendship, have proposed it to you; you were even offered asylum. Danton has no other place than the rostrum. Get up there without delay; this is not just about your salvation, but of that of all of your friends, but of the salvation of the republic. Farewell."  Danton shook her hand and left her, promising to not lose time. Histoire de la Révolution française: 1789-1796 (1851) by Nicolas Villiaumé, page 279. Villiaumé had gotten in contact with Albertine Marat before her death, so it’s most likely she herself this anecdote originates from.

”Oh! If I had known that they would arrest me,” cried Lacroix [at the Luxembourg prison]. ”I knew it,” Danton replied, people came and warned me, and I couldn’t believe it.”  ”Trois mémoires de la collection de Nougatet” cited in Histoire parlementaire de la Révolution Française, volume 32, page 210.

Danton, placed in a cell next to Westermann [in the Conciergerie], didn’t stop talking, less to be heard by Westermann than by us. […] Here are some phrases I retained: […] ”I knew I would get arrested.” Mémoires d’un detenu pour servir à l’histoire de la tyrannie de Robespierre(1795) by Honoré Riouffe, page 88.

Recording Session November 1965

John: "Somebody up there likes me."

Paul: "Who is it?"

John shouting his sermon: "It's Jesus our love and saviour! He's only begun bread for us to live and die on that's why and that's why we're all here, I'll tell you brederen, yes, there's more of them than out of us and that is why there are so few of us left."

Paul: "WHY SUCH FURY?"

John: "CONDEMNED OUT THE THOUGHTS OF MAN."

Paul: "YES; WHAT IS THIS WRATH THAT BEHOLDS YOU?"

John: "WHY SUCH FURY, WHY SUCH FURY?"

George laughing : "OK let's go"

John continues spouting his sermon: "ARE THEY-- THEN THEY SHOULD BLOODY WELL COME."

Paul: "WHY, WELL, BUT DID YOU LOOK IN YOUR BIBLE?"

George: "I can't go on, I really can't, come on, let's do this bleeding record"

The same day:

Paul singing in operatic falsetto: "MARINA, AQUA MARINA"

George laughing: "Yeah, we're doing that one for Christmas."

Paul laughing: yeah

Paul still singing in operatic falsetto: "How come you fuck up everything that you do?"

George laughing (OMG SWEETEST LAUGH <3)

Paul: "Marina"

John in booming voice: I WOULD BE PLEASED TO SEE THE EARTH MEN DISINTEGRATED.

George: OK

John whispering incoherently: Mccartney

Thoughts : OK but John you were literally giving a 1 minute sermon :D AND NOW, you want them to work when they were joking without you :D

madison's pov:

i wake up the next day and can feel my head on a surface that is not as soft as my pillow normally is. i open my eyes and realise it's rested on someone's chest. what the fuck happened last night? i look up as high as my eyes allowed without moving head and i recognise the beard, oh my god it's george. thankfully, i can feel clothes on my body and it looks like he's fully clothed too so i hope i didn't drunkenly throw myself onto him.

i hate how my first reaction to this scenario is to smile to myself and i don't really want to move, so i just try to go back to sleep. a few minutes later, i can feel george stir underneath me and determine how i should play this. if he's not interested, then he's probably going to be really weirded out by this position but i have no recollection of the previous evening and how drunk he was. i decide to also slowly wake up as i didn't want to leave him uncomfortable for long. "morning" he says, slightly laughing, probably out of awkwardness. "good morning" i look up and laugh also, his arm was still firmly round my waist so i guess he's not too weirded out. "please don't be freaked out. you were like really drunk and scared you'd in quote 'choke and die' on your own sick, so i stayed with you" he explains, making both of us laugh. "oh no! i'm so sorry" i say, bringing my hands up to hide my face. "it's fine. you don't snore so could've been a worse sleeping arrangement" he says. "what time is it?' i ask and he has to stretch over to the bedside table to reach his phone, causing me to fall off his chest and the sudden lack of warmth from george makes me shiver slightly. "jesus, it's half 1!" he says, laughing slightly. "in the afternoon?" i ask, rubbing my eyes. "no, we slept for 20 hours, it's the next day" he says sarcastically. "no way!" i join in. "how are you feeling?" he asks, turning over to face me. "i can feel a headache pending" i say. "i did try to feed you paracetamol- wait that sounds wrong" he says, laughing nervously. "great, you brought me here and drugged me" i joke. "pretty much" he shrugs and thankfully i can tell he's joking. "well, thanks for looking after me. i really appreciate it, god knows where i'd be if you didn't" i laugh. "head first in the thames, you had no idea where you were heading" george says, making us both laugh.

we get up for the day and i get back changed into the outfit i arrived in yesterday whilst george used the bathroom to brush his teeth and then we swapped over. "can we both agree to say i slept on the floor to avoid the questioning?" george says before we exit into the kitchen. "agreed" i nod and we see abigail and chris cuddled on the sofa. "oh hello you two" abi smiles. "afternoon" chris jokes. "ha ha, funny joke" george rolls his eyes sarcastically. i walk over and dive onto the sofa next to abi, ruining their romantic moment. she hugs me, looking slightly disappointed i broke them up. "did you sleep with him?" she whispers in my ear, referring to george. "what the fuck, no" i whisper back. "i heard that" chris says at a normal level, causing confusion to george. "have you guys eaten?" george asks chris and abigail. "yeah mate, we had time to eat 2 meals before you guys woke up" chris says. "oh shut up, i literally had to carry you home like 3 weeks ago" george says, causing abi to turn to chris in joke disappointment. "he's lying!" chris says.

"madi, do you want something to eat?" george asks from the kitchen. "umm, i don't mind only if you're having" i turn round from the sofa and smile. "fuck we have like no food in" george says, rummaging through the cupboards. "no worries, i can run to the shop?" i say, feeling bad he was going out of his way for me. "um alright then, i can come with you?" he says and i agree. "why don't you two just go out for lunch? saves the hassle of cooking" abi suggests, smirking knowing exactly what she's doing. "yeah could do actually, could ask max and andrew if they're free?" george suggests and part of me does feel a little bit sad to not spend time with just him but it makes it a bit less awkward. "yeah, sounds great" i smile and he goes to his room to phone max.

"i know what you're doing!" i whisper and point to abigail and chris and they both just laugh. "i don't know what you're talking about!" abi shrugs. "it failed anyways" i say. "i know, bloody max and andrew" chris says. "to be honest, makes it a bit less awkward" i shrug. "you didn't look very awkward last night" abi raises her eyebrows and thankfully, george walks back into the room. "they're coming here in 20 minutes" he smiles. "great, i might just quickly put on some makeup, abi can i borrow some of yours?" she says yes and i go into chris' room to touch it up.

george's pov:

i suggested max and andrew come because i didn't want to make madi feel awkward because it's essentially a date if it's just us two? well, no we're just friends but ugh i don't know, i felt awkward.

madison reappears and we head down to meet max and andrew. i did knock on arthur's door to see if he wanted to come but he was too tired. we walk outside and max and andrew were waiting for us. "glad to see you're alive" andrew jokes, referring to madi's previous drunken state. "god, don't remind me" she puts her head in her hands and we all laugh. i suggest joe and the juice and everyone agrees. i notice madison flash a small smile to me and i reciprocate. i chose it as i know she likes it and i also wanted to faintly remind her of our encounter about a week ago.

madison's pov:

we make it to the cafe and george immediately heads to the toilet because he forgot to go before we left. "so, is this a double date? what's going on?" max asks, smiling widely. "what? no! i promise you guys, literally nothing is going on" i say. "do you know what? i actually do believe her. you know how bad george's rizz is" andrew says, looking to max. "i still don't believer her!" max laughs and thankfully george arrives back to the table. "we'll go order and then you guys go?" max suggests so we don't lose the table.

it was now just me and george. "how are you feeling?" george laughs, referring to the after effects of my drinking. "not too bad surprisingly. headache is definitely there, but so far no sickness" "do you remember anything after getting home?" he asks. "i don't even remember getting home!" i laugh. "oh dear, to be honest you were in a state" he laughs. "it's max and arthur's fault" i laugh. "yeah i'm a bit scared of how you're going to cope on tour with arthur, you two are going to be off the rails" he laughs and max and andrew arrive back at the table with their food, so we head to the counter. "what you getting?" i ask george. he tells me and i relay to the cashier before telling them my own. "pay when you're ready" they say and turn around to make our drinks. "i'll get it" george says. "no you won't" i say and we begin arguing back and forth as we both try to put our cards down and i snatch his out his hands and pay. "that's for last time and letting me sleep in your bed" i smirk, saying the last part quietly and he rolls his eyes in defeat. "thank you" he smiles. "you can carry the tray though" i smile and he just shakes his head, laughing but does it anyways.

we sit down and begin to eat, making general conversation. "so when does tour start? two weeks?" max asks. "just less than 2 weeks now" i say, pulling a nervous face. "excitinggg" andrew says. "need to get my sequin outfit ready" george says. "oh my god please!" i say and everyone laughs. "yeah, no way is that happening" george says. "ugh you're so boring" i roll my eyes.

we finish up eating and head back to george's flat. max and andrew had to head home for a meeting. "for fuck sake, did you not get me anything?" arthur sighs. "you sai-" george starts but arthur cuts him off, laughing "i'm joking." "are you ready for tour rehearsals tomorrow?" i ask arthur. "shit, is that tomorrow? i forgot it was the 26th today" i nod and can see the panic on arthur's face. "it's fine, at least you don't have to remember like 13 dance routines like i do" i sigh. "yeah, i'm not jealous" he laughs. "13? jesus" george sighs. "yeah mate, it's a full on show"

abi appears out of chris' room, they kiss goodbye causing the rest of us to audibly gag and then we head home as i need to get ready for rehearsals tomorrow and abi had an audition.

george's pov:

as i head to bed that evening, i scroll instagram and my algorithm still thinks madison is my only interest. however, one post catches my attention.

how did someone even get this photo? i didn't even notice it being taken. however, it was funny watching people speculate what was going on with me and madison because even we don't know but hopefully people realise we're just friends.

the next week is busy for all of us. madison and arthur are in full swing for tour rehearsals and i have been doing some filming with the sidemen for their channel and side plus. however, me, chris and abi decide we want to throw a surprise party for madison and arthur after their first london show to celebrate the tour starting.

i open instagram and the first post that pops up on my feed is from madison of her and arthur in rehearsals and it made me realise i have actually missed having both of them around.

abigail had been staying with chris this week to help us plan the party but also because madison wasn't home much and she felt lonely apparently. she walks into the kitchen, "oh george, are you going to the gym today?" she asks me. "yeah probably" i reply, washing up my plate. "omg, could you do me a massive favour, i left some stuff at the flat that i need for my audition tomorrow. madison should be there later, could you grab it off her and bring it back here?" she ask. "yeah, no problem" i smile, secretly happy it gives me an excuse to see madison. "does she know i'm coming?" i ask. "umm no, i can tell her?" she says. "no it's fine i'll text her" i say.

i get changed and run to the gym, before texting madison i'll be there in the next hour.

i finish my workout and head over to madi's. "hello i'm outside" i say on the phone. "coming down" she says and within a couple minutes, the door swings open. "hey" she says, smile as wide as always and pulls me in for a hug. "sorry i'm a bit sweaty" i laugh. we go upstairs, "how's rehearsals been?" i ask. "stressful, tiring, everything aches but it will be worth it" she laugh. "i can imagine, can't believe how quickly the tours come around" i say. "i know, 5 nights to go. i'm terrified" she says, turning to stir the saucepan that's on the hob. "i'm making dinner by the way if you want to stay? i doubt abi's coming back tonight so there'll be spare" she suggests and i would love to but i've not showered since the gym and become conscious that i probably don't smell too great. "i would but i'm probably not the nicest smelling company right now" i say. "you know i do own a shower?" she smiles. "i mean i guessed so" i laugh. "you can shower if you want? dinner will be like 20 minutes" she suggests. "i mean only if you're sure?" i say hesitantly. "yes, i'll be bored eating on my own. i'll grab a towel for you" she says and goes to her room to find it and returns with soft, clean towel.

she shows me how to use it and leaves me to shower. thankfully i keep spare clothes in my gym bag.

madison's pov:

truth is, i didn't want george to leave, i hadn't seen him much recently and my anxiety has been through the roof with tour coming up and other family issues and i knew he would be able to take my mind off things. it's also pretty boring without abigail.

"thanks for that, very good water pressure you have" george says jokingly. "thank you, i appreciate the feedback" i laugh. my god, he looked good with wet hair. madison, pick yourself up. "do you need a hand with anything?" he asked, standing near me. "no, i'm just about to plate up actually" i smile and he sits down waiting patiently, i place his plate down in front of him. "thank you very very much" he smiles. "no problem, arthur says you live off deliveroo so i thought you should get a home cooked meal" i say. "oh did he now? i don't think i've seen him cook since we moved in!" george laughs. "i can't lie we've been eating really bad at rehearsals. too many mc donalds have been consumed" i laugh.

we finish up eating and george insists on washing up, although it ends up causing more chaos as he knows where nothing goes in the cupboards. "no! over there" i say, pointing at the correct cupboard and we both laugh.

"umm, my youtube home page tells me you filmed a 100 vs 1 video recently" i say, teasing george. "oh god, yes maybe i did" he says, looking embarrassed. "do you want to watch it with me?" i laugh, jumping on the sofa, turning the tv on. "noo" george sighs, but sitting down anyways. "wait if i'm on your home page, you must be a fan" he tries to turn the embarrassment to me. "yeah, fan of calfreezy. it's on his channel" i shrug and george admits defeat. truth is, i've never watched a calfreezy video and have definitely watch a few if not all of george's videos. we sit next to each other and i can see george is tense and laughing nervously.

"hey guys, welcome back to my channel! today i'm on the mission to help my tragically single friend, george clarkey find love or at the least a shag, he really needs it" cal says, tapping his shoulder. "i do" george sighs. "tragically single is mean" i turn to george laughing. "i don't know if i'm going to be able to sit through this!" he says. "so george, i have to ask what your type is?" cal says. "well, ideally someone not in the industry and i guess my track record is blonde, short girls" he explains and i feel my heart sink, he basically just described the exact opposite of me. "this was filmed ages ago, i have forgotten what i said" he laughs but i'm still distracted by his last comment but i try play it off cool. "shall i go buy some box dye?" i point to the door, jokingly. and i have no idea where that joke came from. "what?" george laughs, missing the joke so i just say it doesn't matter.

we continue to watch george embarrass himself in front of tens of stunning girls. "oh no, this next part is so bad" he says, putting his head in his hands. "i think my phones broken, can you call it to check it works?" the girl asks. "sure" george says but goes to grab her phone, missing the whole joke. "nooo, i can't look" he says and buries his head in my shoulder and i continue laughing. i pat his head sarcastically comforting him. "that's actually so embarrassing. i want to die" he says, lifting his head up. "hmm i'd more suggest a 2 week vacation with no contact to anyone" i shrug. we finish the video and he ends up going on a date and picking the final girl, who is conveniently a blonde model and then i realise... omg it's erin. that's how they met! they go on the date and he's feeding her grapes and wine and to be honest, it's kind of a hard watch for me and we mostly sit in silence, thankfully the video ends soon after.

"have you spoke to erin since?" i ask and george turns to face me. "not really, i'm not interested anymore but i'm just trying to let her down gently" he shrugs. "why not? she's gorgeous and clearly your type. not famous, blonde" i list the qualities (that i don't have).

george's pov:

i didn't want to watch the video with madi because i knew how it ended, me with erin. and i also remembered the blonde and not famous comment i made. and to be honest, i wasn't lying but they cut out the part where i said i didn't really have a type, just that the last 2 girls i'd spoken to were blonde but i truly had no preference. and the non-famous comment i made was true but i feel like madison has shown me that maybe i wouldn't mind dating someone in a similar industry but i couldn't explain myself because then it makes my feelings obvious. "i mean yeah, but i don't really have a type. i don't know, she's a nice girl but something just felt wrong, it's more of a personal thing" i shrug. "i get it, i've become a lot more emotionally unavailable since thomas cheated" she shrugs and i have to use context clues to realise thomas is her ex. "yeah that must suck. i think my biggest issue is, i've given so much to the wrong people. like i trust people too easily and now i find it hard to trust at all" i say and then realise maybe i'm saying too much. "god that got deep, sorry" i laugh nervously. "no, it's fine it's nice to see a serious side of you" she smiles, readjusting her seated position and it somehow ends up being closer to me. "you'll know when the right person to trust comes around. that's why most of my boyfriends have been friends first because what do you mean you're jumping into a romantic relationship with someone you don't even know. scary. or you're going on hinge dates with people you've known for 24 hours" she jokes about my catfishing experience. "wow, that was aimed" i laugh. "if the shoes fit" she shrugs.

after a few moments of silence, madison turns to face me "do you trust me?" and i can see sincerity in her eyes but i can also tell she feels slightly awkward asking it. "yeah, definitely. i've never really told anyone what i just told you" i say, smiling. "well i appreciate your honesty" she says, smiling. "hug?" she asks. "ugh if i have to" i roll my eyes jokingly. she sits up slightly and basically sits in my lap and we hug tightly, neither of us seeming to let go. "i'm so lucky to have a friend like you" madison says before we pull away and i can see tears in her eyes. "are you okay?" i ask. "yeah, sorry i think the hormones, stress and lack of sleep all caught up with me" she laughs and i wipe a tear from her eyes and then panic that was too forward. "everything is going to be okay, i promise" i say looking in her eyes sincerely. and she just nods and i can see more tears threatening to fall from her eyes, so i hug her again. she grips me tightly and i never want her to let go.

[respectthepetty]

I don't think Pete's in love with Kenta. I think it's Kenta who is in love with Pete, and Pete has perhaps affection but not love for Kenta. I also think it's Way that Pete starts feeling something for, and that's why that pink and longing stares, maybe because they are both enigmas or something. I don't know, but these three are very interesting, and also wonder what each of their colors are? Because it's not readily visible at all.

Anon, Kenta is black, Pete is blue, and Way can't decide if he wants to be black or blue (or be a baddie red), which is why I think he will die before Kenta does and blah blah blah but . . .

"they are both enigmas or something"

Because another Anon just asked me:

Do we know Pitbabe and companies destinations? Like I know Babe and Charlie are Alphas and Way Pete are both Enigmas but like what about the rest of the gang?

What in the Charlie and the Alpha Factory do you mean by "enigmas" y'all?

I want to believe you mean they are both puzzling characters, but I don't think that's what you mean, and I know *just* enough about Omegaverse to know that enigmas are like the Mean Girls of that universe in the way that everyone wants to be them and fuck them but also fear them.

So are you telling me that Peter and Waymundo are the Regina Georges of the Alphas? IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?!

Is that why Way Way didn't want to touch Peter when they first met? Is this why they keep drinking at the bar together like it's a Wednesday and they must wear pink?!

Is that why Peter was looking at Waymundo like this, not because he likes him, but because he likes that they are both Mean Girls and have to sit at the same table?!

Like, I know you asked me a question, but I'm trying to process the bomb you just dropped on me because as much as I love knowing stuff, some of y'all have been wildin' in my comments and reblogs, and apparently FORGOT I'M WATCHING WITHOUT SUBS AND WITH THE TAG BLOCKED!

I'M SO LOST RIGHT NOW!

I mentioned I might unblock the tag in a previous post because I wanted to reblog GIFs of Kenta x Pete and someone DM'ed me letting me know that I might see posts about Kentana BEING PREGNANT!

Which has me thinking Barbie is pregnant and just not sad over Charles lying 24/7 since apparently pregnancy is on the damn table in this show!

Then someone commented that old man is BARBIE'S DAD so did Tony straight up steal these kids from their parents and nobody has noticed because he isn't building a super powerful army for himself but something far more nefarious?!

And the worst part is I have no idea if any of this is canon or people's theories because Pit Babe lied to us and said it wasn't Omegaverse than "Surprise Bitch"-ed us and the Omegaverse is so wild that I don't know what is real or not.

I have so many questions, yet I WANT NONE OF THEM ANSWERED! Do I want to know if Barbara and Kentana are actually pregnant? Do I want to know the real reason Big Red is kidnapping these kids? Do I want to know if Waymond really loved Barbara or if it was just because he is an enigma?

NO! SWEET BABY JESUS WITH THE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE SKIN TONE NO!

You know what I do want though? A drink because this show is way wilder than I thought, and I don't think I'm ever gonna unblock that tag.

But if Kenta is pregnant, who would he even be pregnant by? Is that the real reason Charles and Barbara were fighting on the race track is because Barbara is pregnant and Charles didn't want him racing? OH MY GOD! Can Jeffrey get pregnant?! Does Alan even have the ability to get Jeffrey pregn ---

fuuuuuuck!

Nobody answer these questions. I am BEGGING you.

If you had the chance to change something about the dance of the dragons (TV show or book), what would it be? For example, how a character dies, which team a house is on,or an entire character personally. How would you change it to make the story better, in your opinion? 💙💚🖤♥️

JUST ONE THING. ANON U R A SADIST.

aksjdjd no okay thank you great ask. sorry if it’s a lil all over the place, i think obsessively about how i would adapt f&b and asoiaf if i was a millionaire lmao.

for the show it’s so easy (besides just giving it like ten more episodes to cook before getting to the Dance, I mean) - lean into the dueling protagonists of alicent & rhaenyra by giving them dueling deuteragonists in aegon ii and jacaerys. i realize this would completely reframe the whole show lmao, but we can even compromise and say once they do that ten year skip, the narrative should focus in on building up the two sides through the dueling protagonists alicent & rhaenyra, and dueling deuteragonists aegon & jace. it makes way more sense to have the character they most interact with be their sons & “heirs” and contrast those relationships & all the politics that exist in how they act as mothers towards their sons. rather than focus in on daemon as the second main character for rhaenyra and…this weird fucking musical chairs male protagonist with the greens they’re doing. it doesn’t fix everything but i think shifting the focus from rhaenyra’s marriages to her as a mother and queen regnant, and from alicent’s conga line of abuses to again, an active role as a mother and queen consort/queen mother, as well as fleshing out the two men who are objectively thee most important men in their lives (argue with the wall jace & aegon haters!!!!). explaining why jace & aegon developed into the sort of men they are through how they exist in the most important relationship in their lives, literally until the day they both die. (and if you’re curious, daemon’s counterpart is aemond, they get to be number three for both their sides. viserys isn’t on a “team” but he does have a counterpart and it’s QOREN).

i think the way they did it in the show really does a disservice to the potential of aegon and especially jacaerys as characters, as well as downplaying the importance of a lot of critical relationships like rhaewin, laenyra, criston’s entire demented relationship with both women, rhaenys’ relationship with laena & rhaenyra, alicent’s whole ass relationship with her kids, AND rhaenyra’s whole ass relationship with her kids. imo they go for this kind of half in half out “we want to appeal to the insane targ stans who genuinely believe incest will save westeros” and “we want to write a story about the complexities of motherhood & sexuality in a patriarchal society” and wound up in a weird place where daemon & alicent are both bisexual but only in deleted scenes and completely drop rhaenyra’s gender fuckery the moment she’s played by an actually non-binary actor and also completely bury the other non-binary actor (rhaena’s actor, phoebe campbell) by giving their character like two fucking lines and no depth.

also better wigs jesus FUCKING christ hbo i know you have the budget!!

for the books….a lot of the problem with the dance is that f&b is so antithetical to how george writes. it’s effectively a very long and detailed outline of a plot and george doesn’t write exclusively by outline. as he says himself, he gardens - he writes and he sees where the writing takes him. if he had actually sat down and written out the dance as a series of short stories the way he does with dunk & egg, i think the plot would not only be massively different it would also be leaps and bounds better. what i want to change is to make george actually WRITE the dance and not just outline and call it a day!!!!

BUT. Okay if I can change ONE thing. fuck that’s hard.

I’d make Larys’ motivation more clear, and when i say more clear i mean my theory is that Larys just straight up hated the Targaryens and Velaryons bc he believed one of them killed Harwin, and decided to get revenge by completely fucking over the whole family tree. i get why people like his show version (I like parts of him a lot too and the actor has some galaxy brained takes!!!) but i think while Larys is well done, his character adaption & the way he’s completely unknowable in the series itself is just a rehash of Tyrion. We already have a disabled younger brother who hates his older brother for being condescending in his love & conditional acceptance, and hates his father for being a patriarchal monster, and is a sexually abusive menace to teenage girls, and I don’t think they are saying anything new or groundbreaking with Larys in the show or book. He is just there to be the evil crippled henchman, and then die.

No, what I want is a true chaos agent to rival Littlefucker, a man who becomes obsessively and uncomfortably devoted to Harwin, the only person in his entire life who ever treated him with any love or respect or care, who launches this bloody, demented quest to completely wipe out every Valyrian left alive for the misuse and murder of his brother. Willing to help kill his own nephews. Willing to burn the kingdom to the ground. Willing to destroy his own house if it means Harwin will be avenged, if it means the dragons die. All leading to Larys getting his Pyrrhic victory and choosing to die because he feels he has nothing left.

Why the extreme change? I think it fits better with a lot of the themes in F&B and the dance in particular - not just family, and “the things we do for love” but the legacy of Valyria, of the Targaryens and the dragons, the clash and growing pains of this group of interlinked cultures learning to tolerate each other’s existence on the same continent, and of course, what being told every day of your life that you’re a monster does to how you view yourself. You can keep all the rest of his weird behavior from the show and the books even - the sexual abuse of Alicent being Larys unable to stop himself from turning into the same sort of awful man his father was; of him switching sides without a care or without any seeming sense in the books, always ready to be the devil on a shoulder to Viserys, Aegon, Alicent, and Corlys - but a little bit here and there to let us know that Larys genuinely loved Harwin until the bitter end. We already have several stories about a brother who grows to resent another and lets the resentment fester until he’s willing to cross a line you can’t come back from and murder his brother for a perceived sleight. I think Larys & the dance as a whole benefit from him being a brother who romanticizes and saintifies Harwin (but not lyonel!) so much that he weaponizes his years of resentment & turns it against the entire world and damn the consequences. I think he fits in much more with Rhaenyra, Alicent, Corlys, Viserys, Daemon, and Rhaenys that way and steps away from being Tyrion but slightly to the left and into his own type of character instead.

Chapter II: Who Was That Girl? Into Deep

Warnings: angst, mention of near death incident, mention of drugs, repetition of past trauma/near death incident, and nightmare

A/n: The following content may be unsuitable for younger readers. Reader’s discretion is strongly advised.

Matty’s pov

I could have sworn someone rescued me. That girl. Her beautiful voice. That familiar melody. Her touch was so soft.

My mates and I are on the couch again in the aftermath of my near death. I am so fucked for this.

“Mate, you could have died. We’ve been worried about you,” George begins. “And you’re telling us some saint saved you?”

“Yes,” I reply. “A girl saved me. I can’t describe how beautiful her voice is, her touch, that melody. I can’t get it out of my head even if I try.”

“Are you in your delulu era?”

“I’m not delusional!”

My frustration grows more like a balloon that is about to burst. I swear she’s real. I just need to find her.

“Are you seriously going to that beach again?” Adam asks We don’t want you to get hurt or killed.”

“I’m serious. I need to see her again.”

“Jesus Christ, mate. You do realize that you’re gonna repeat that again.” Ross noted, his tone annoyed at this point.

I’ve had enough. “So what if it repeats? Will it stop me from finding her? This is nothing like my heroin addiction! It’s a girl I keep seeing in my dreams for fuck’s sake! It’s been haunting me for days!”

The silence rings so loud in my ears. Everyone is stunned. Why did I bring up my heroin addiction and my cocaine addiction I had back then? Have I gone mad?

Ashamed of myself, I bolt out the door, ignoring the pleas and apologetic demands.

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

The sand in my hand falls in a neat pile as if it is an hourglass. The shores of the sea is where I calm down. The melody in my head plays again. I feel like I’m haunted by some ghost or something. My mind is plagued of her. She’s everywhere I go. Her eyes, her soft skin, her voice echoing in my ear.

I walk to the water, trying to see if she’s there. The haunting sounds push me further. The water rises up to my chest at this point. If I go under again, will she be there? Will it all stop? Will I end the madness for good? Will the world be better off without me?

I take a deep breath and go under. Her voice still echoes, the melody staying in my mind. Curious, I swim farther and farther into the blue. Deeper and deeper I go, the water temperature starts dropping. It is so cold, yet peaceful, but I am running out of air. So I swim up to the surface.

I break the waves with a huge gasp. Breathe, I tell myself. Breathe. You have all the time in the world to search for her. She’s still out there. So, I take another chest full of air and dive again.

Adrenaline rushes through my body as I swim deeper to the bottom, seeing if there is any sign of her. Nothing. Only the haunting sounds of her voice in my head. Are my mates right? Am I delusional? No! I’m not giving up on this yet!

Deeper and deeper I swim, ignoring the fire in my body, my mind counting the seconds of breath holding while at the same time I feel the fire again. My lungs burn once more to the point of resurface.

I float to breathe a moment. Relax, I think. Relax. You’re okay. You’ll find her. I’m sure she’s out there somewhere. That saint who saved you from your doom. One deep breath more and I’m back searching.

The ambience of the ocean calms me down a bit despite the loud sound of her voice. My head feels dizzy, but my gut says I must continue my search. The longer I hold my breath, the longer I can last underwater. I continue to swim further, ignoring the familiar flame in my body and the burning of my lungs.

I find myself in a similar spot where my car was. Where she found me. The past replaced what was in my mind and it is the night I almost died. Fear of death and almost about to die, I swim up to the surface, my hand reaching out to the light. Everything turns black for a split second before a pair of hands hoist me up to the surface. Was that her?

I look under face down. It is her. She’s wearing a dress that shimmers in the sunlight beneath the waves. She must be the one. She must be. I am then betrayed by claws instead and was pulled under.

“What have we here?” A voice says in a menacing tone. My body is still shaking from the grip.

“A human I see. Looking for someone who saved you? She’s not here. She’s away. Sure, she can be the one who saved you-“ I am slammed to the bottom again. “But she’s not going back. Long gone. Give up. Accept your fate.”

I want to speak, but only bubbles fly out my mouth as I accidentally breathe the saltwater. I want to go home. My mates need me now. They’re not ready to lose me. I get myself free from the invisible grasp and swim higher. Once again, my body stop working. I smile. The world fades to black…

🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

I gasp for air, not realizing I was dreaming again. The girl was there. But something is forcing her back. What was it?

I have no time for analyzing. I try to take deep breaths, just like how my therapist taught me. But the panic stays. The same dream has been haunting me for days. The water felt like it’s human. Being slammed into the bottom. I look at the time.

1:02.

“Fuck me,” I whisper to myself.

“What has gotten into you, mate?” George grumbles after I began the call. I had already drank 5 bottles of wine at this point.

“I see her in my dreams. The death of my girlfriend is so bad,” I’m rambling again about what’s going on in my mind right now. “That girl I saw. The one who saved me. I see her everywhere.”

“Hey, relax. I see you’re not delusional now.”

“I still miss Amia.”

“I miss her too. She was a good one.”

I start shaking again, tears streaming down my face. The pain of losing her in the car accident has been haunting me. So is the mystery girl.

“It’s gonna be alright,” George coos on the other end. “Y’know, we’re all here for you. I know you’re grieving harder than ever. We got you.”

“I’m sorry I blew up at you guys. I’ve been an absolute mess since the incident and Amia’s death.”

“It’s alright, mate. Do you want me to keep you company for the night?”

Through recovering sniffles, I say, “I would love that. I love you, man.”

“I love you too, mate.”

[monsterbananatv]

Things from Lockwood and co because I can part 4:

Episode 7

“Oh, Jesus. Look at the smile on him”

George being left out again

Flo telling Lucy to be careful cause there is a lot worse then ghosts

The other agent trying to help them

The barrels…

Lockwood, back again with his death wish

The scene in the warehouse. Damn the emotions in there…

“Nothing good comes from letting people in. Everything ends and everyone leaves.”

Georgie

The horrid buzzing noise

Those poor children

Oh no Lockwood!

Lockwood grabbing Lucy’s hand as they run away

The agents helping them in exchange for his life

Lockwood’s panic attack

Lucy taking charge and pulling Lockwood around

“What did he die for?” “It’s because they’re bastards.” “It’s because I am”

The whole scene where Lucy’s trying to snap Lockwood out of it. He’s holding onto her for dear life but he’s also holding her so gently too

Flo being the only one who sees something is wrong with George

George drawing his rapier on Flo, and the birds snapping him out of it

The fight with the Golden Blade

What does he know???

The fact that Winkman already knew the guy was an agent, so it wasn’t Lockwood’s fault

Get him Lucy!

Its like a bad game of football they’re playing tossing the bone glass around

The fact that pink socks wearing Lockwood is wearing blue socks. We all know whose colour blue is…

Them jumping off the roof into the Thames

Flo inviting George to go bird watching

George calling out to her to say that he wants to do it

Lockwood and Lucy crawling out of the water and you think they might have a moment, but Lucy just shoves Lockwood away (on beat with the song I might add) and storms off

George being mesmerized by the mirror and not giving it to DEPRAC

Episode 8

Lucy being mad at Lockwood because his suicidal tendencies put all of them in danger again

The scene where she’s yelling at him and he just stands there

The scene of both of them after, Lucy looking at the necklace and Lockwood getting dressed. I like that because Lucy looks at the necklace but doesn’t put it on because she’s mad at Lockwood, but she doesn’t throw it away either, and instead of putting on comfy clothes, we see Lockwood putting on his regular get up, his armour, because he’s not sure how Lucy’s gonna react to him

Lockwood apologizing

“I just wanted to say, don’t give up on us. Please. Or what I really should say is don’t give up on me”

“To be honest the bottom of the Thames used to be a far more appealing place to be. And really no one would have cared, but now…”

Now he has something, someone to live for. People who care (I’m fine I’m fine totally fine)

The two of them finally realizing that something is wrong with George and finding all the spirals

George feeling left out by being left behind to do the dorky stuff

Joplin weirding me out

The skull calling Lockwood and Lucy a happy couple

Lucy and Lockwood both blaming themselves for what’s happening

Both doing anything they can to save George, even if it means going in with some measly salt bombs

“but if anything’s worth dying for…” (George. George is worth dying for)

Them realizing how wrapped up they were in each other that they didn’t stop to help George

Kipps is losing his talent

Joplin basically kidnapping Kipps

“You couldn’t resist. Nor could he. Who knows what he might see. Mummy and daddy maybe” SKULL WHAT DO YOU KNOW

“I need you to be the right amount of reckless”

“Let’s draw our swords and kick in the doors like we’re cool and really know what we’re doing”

Lockwood and Lucy working with Kipps crew

“Just reckless enough, okay”

“What’s the secret weapon?” “She is”

Lockwood complimenting Kipps crew

“And I’m Anthony bloody Lockwood”

“This isn’t a park, it’s a graveyard” “Then let’s bury them.”

The fight between them and the relic-men

George figuring out that Joplin isn’t what she seems and what she’s planning to do

The fact that Joplin was gonna use George to look in the mirror

The knife being the twin to the one in Carvers back

Personal space Joplin, jeez

“That bastard had a plan” “A suicidal one” “That tends to be a feature of all my best plans”

“To save my friends… and Kipps”

Oh George… (My heart… they care about you George, I swear. They need you)

“You’re not a third wheel or an oddball or whatever it is that you think you are. You’re the best of us”

“We are not losing you Georgie” He’s their family. Hers and Lockwoods (I’m fine. Totally fine)

Lucy sacrificing herself to save George

The golden blade. WHO IS HE. WHAT DOES HE KNOW.

Pfffft the blade pulling out a gun (this is just so funny to me)

(Twice I’ve shouted at the screen when he pulled out a gun “you don’t bring a gun to a knife fight!”)

“And whatever happens, this wasn’t your fault” She doesn’t George to blame himself like she blames herself for what happened to Norrie and the others

Lucy using the skull to look in the mirror instead of herself

The images before Lucy passed out. One of them was Lockwood… why?

The glass being a trap. A trap for what????

George breaking the mirror (Go my boy!)

The mirror vaporizing Joplin and the ghosts trapped in it finally being set free

“I’m sorry about everything Luce” “So am I”

Get him Lockwood

“Fought off a load of thugs, fell down a catafalque hole, battles a bunch of ghosts. You know usual sort of thing. Oh, and I got shot”

The way they both run to Lockwood to support him, because he’s not dying on their watch

“You’re not done. Don’t say that. This is t how you die. “How do you know? “Because we won’t let you”

How gently Lucy is holding Lockwood on the way back up

Kipps being a wonderful optimist and great bringer of encouraging speeches (/s)

“Just reckless enough”

Lockwood not holding Kipps to the bet because it was the right thing to do

Both of them supporting Lockwood as they walk away (Family <3)

“Ugh this is so touchy feely”

I was right to not trust Penelope

Lucy saying she thinks she’s starting to heal now

Just them as a family getting food and living life :)

“I was wrong about George. He didn’t hate my guts. He actually turned out to be a bit of a hero”

“Lockwood almost died a thousand times but I think he’s decided he’s better off alive” (My heart)

“Cause it’s incredibly rare. Both of you are”

Lockwood and Lucy’s smiles when they look at each other

thoughts, feelings and prayers

right so before anything. cxheck it out. help.

stop. i think shes laughing. i think shes fucking losing her baby mind. she LOVES watching her dad die. shes OBSESSED. like, LOOK. this is the first time shes looked this ... and forgive the pun, over the moon. shes like YIPPEEE. HURRAY. WAHOOO. its her fucking COCOMELON.

but yes ok. right

firstly of all. bad start lol.

wheream i

i guess its just a bad start. i have a feeling that a lot of this stuff was like.... out of the writing room issues. i cant remember all the BTS context, but its sort of Obvious that actors didn't want or to retun or couldnt return (and presmably this show wasnt meant to last 4 seasons?). and the thing is, i just think its an incredibly difficult thing to pull off a nearly whole cast reset that has to come so was insanely abruptly... like how do you do that and do that well? like nina especially its like- OFFSCREEN? SERIOUSLY? ESPECIALLY AFTER THE END OF THE LAST SEASON. jesus.

although also TEEHEEE OK SORRY BAD SHIT ASIDE TEEHEEE TOM. ON TOP. TOM TOP BILLING. YESSSS. YESSSSS. YIPPEEE! WAHOOO! I LOVE TOM. IM SO GLAD WE GET TOM. TOM AND ANNIE. MY FAVOURITES FROM THIS SHOW.

LIKE CAN WE LEAVE TOM ALONE? CAN WE .LIKE. I KNOW IT SUCKS MITCHELL IS GONE. AND NINA. MY DEAR NINA. THEY ARE GONE. and oh yeah lol george died. BUT TOMMMMM. MY DEAREST TOM. CAN WE ALL BE NICE TO TOM AND GIVE HIM A LITTLE CHEER AND A YIPPEE AND A WOOPITY DOO!!!!

GUYS DONT YOU LIKE LITTLE DOGGUYS WHO ARE JUST A BIT STUPID BUT VERY RESPECTFUL. TOM COME HERE, BOY. THATS A GOOD BOY. AWWWW. PUPPY

where was i god where was i

right well ok the thing is i coudl sort of deal with the rest of that stuff MAYBE. i'd be more willing to give it a chance, even if it sort of feels like a deaht sentence. especially cuz as mentioned, i love tom, i love annie, and i KIND OF LOVE THE LOOK OF THE NEW GUY? iLIKE HELP.

but also tonally right like yeah ok so the problem is. i feel like as the seasons have gone on, this show has kindofjudt been slowly getting away from its better parts in the first season. i feel like its at is strongest when... they lirerally dont do some big overarching plot. like i dont mean no plot. plots good and fine. but i sort of feel like the "plot" is carrying the characters forward where i feel like when it was more lowkey, and more character driven it was jsut. better.

like i also hate prophecy shit. i think the last season was GOOD because it was completely self-fulfilling and fucking horsehsit. stacy (and im sorry i call her that, its just cuz thats all i refer her to. stacy from eastenders) made that shit UP just because LOL. also thats my other aside. i LIKE how with mitchell, like... i mean it wasnt just him trying to avoid the prophecy, right? like agreed? cuz that whole thing was like straight up. intention towards true immortality. my hypocritical little tangfastic. awwww.

also gos where was i

god thisshow is corny. sometimes i cant stand this specific brand of corniness. like i dont mean like. i LOVE corny. i dont like... soap opera type corny, right? i dontknow. i had a point somewhere. i mean i still dont like how it plays out sometimes- im just thinking of specific interactions and how certain dynamics play out- but its also like.... GOOD at more well balanced characters with flaws. inmy opinion. they all sorta suck. which i think takes the korny edge off. yall wanna single say fuck that fuck that fuck th sorry. i dont mean that. where was i. god ivebeen insanely suicidal as of late. thats the aside. fcukc me man

WHERE AM I

anyway god ok so i did notpay rnough attention to like any of the shit outside of annie, tom and george this episode. im serious. oh and the dying wertewolf and the other vampire. and whoever is supposedly here to kill eve. my lovely dead dad lover eve.

oh i do want to meet him properly though

Hal.

[the-firebird69]

The empire is going to leave the pseudo empire in charge it will most likely almost completely crush the warlock and reduce them to small areas on the islands eventually they'll be gone and the islands will have different races and America and that's what they wanted to ride and they've been saying Ride or die and things like that and the more like a horrified but they've heard it and seen it in writing. And he says it won't be the pseudo empire alone who's riding and they can't do the job so they keep pockets of you and they get that. And he's noticed that that's the main thrust of the whole thing for the most part and our issue would be in the middle and they would be causing chaos and attacks of the middle areas by foreigners in businesses to try and take them back so they'd have the empire and control and it's our plan to attract them.

They say it cuts both ways and that's life but it is what's going on.

-he discovered another thing they're calling him his brother they're going to put him in more of his duds is where he is right now and ironically it is the bourbon family that's here because they imitated them off and on not very well and they were kicked out and so Dave is here too and he was kept out of it but it wasn't fighting them it's kind of the same rule and the burden is what he researched to get to this point it's bourbon whiskey and there's a certain brand it's Jim beam and that was Ken and he did it because when he drinks it he becomes a beaming fool :-). He is having a great time. But really that's what it is and he is contemplating having a drink and usually he doesn't stop it's not the case but it is a special drink and it means that he will keep spies out and that's what the pseudo empire wants resistance against the warlock who are basically garbage. And it goes on for quite a while no it's starting up now I'm it's just still the revolutionary war period and it's not a bourbon yet but it's heading towards it and a couple other things Hera is seemingly pleased a little bit because he said that George Washington would be given a station as commander of the rebels and the colonial army and of course that needs money and they did pay him and that's what he was doing for and there are other things like he would become president and they plan to run this scenario again until the foreigners are here we think it'll only be next year if not this year and he was elected president after September 3rd and it was the next year but our son is not going to be president it'll probably be Biden according to their plan of having foreigners come in and it makes sense and in essence it was one of his people and he's looking a little like Washington as the muscular guy and she said no way and he is not really hired as a rebel by the pseudo empire which is different but they were handing it off to have Jesus do the job. So we're going to look up what they did and he was on the government stipend before that because of his earlier service and that's what they're saying about our son and reminding people with the tire and other

Thor Freya

So I noticed it I said well who's generating this stuff and I found out who and so I'm listening and getting up to speed and it's not as fast as the maps are going so I see what the cycle is and I understand it now and they're running their plan and it makes sense they're going to try and do with the foreigners and they tried to do with the foreigners before and in Germany and it didn't work and I get that they're trying to make a smaller these things make a lot of sense to us and we actually appreciate it and I know he was paid and I know why so we're going to get into it but he was nominated his general but before that he was paid as eternal and he did some work and he ascended to general

Jason

You're going to have to try and go through it

Hera although when you selected Colonel they didn't give him much money at all and I remember it too you still had the same stipend but it was like this year's cola which the sun was a lot but to you it's it wasn't much truthfully

...

It's not much of an increase and you said I'm some kind of criminal in the rebellion colonel and I'm eating popcorn so we decided something wow that's bad and so we all got on it but at least I did and people watching but now the colonel level is not much money but he was elevated from his last position and he was reinstated years before that it kind of fits it's a rough story but really it's just timing is starting to get faster to modern day and it's generally made a bit more money and had bonuses and stuff

Trump

Olympus it's not bad it says June 15th so we're waiting for that but and he was paid later no they gave him a stipend at that point

AMERICAN HISTORY NOTES 11/9

9 black students going to class at Little Rock high on September 5, 1927

They were met with violence

Mayor of Little Rock had personally contacted Eisenhower (president) and said he wanted military help because the governor asked for the national guard to prevent any black people into entering 

The army trumps the national guard 

Orville declares he will fight segregation anywhere he goes and will not allow for racism in any state (against his power)

George C Wallace, governor of Alabama, awful man

Doctors did not need to tell women what was wrong with them, but would tell the men

Irene Wallace had cancer, but George didn't tell her. She ended up figuring out herself and was upset at him, which confused him. DUMBASS

George C Wallace stood on the balcony of Alabama and that balcony is a famous location

He declared a speech of segregation now and forever!!!!!!

He said the same thing over and over again

That's all he said for the 1960's

Later in life, he came to Jesus moment, and apologized publicly towards the end of life for being racist and tried to make amends with African Americans in Alabama. Some even forgave him.

In the end he tried to make things right, but the consequences remained

Emmett Till, 1941-1955 (only 14 years old), he was beaten and then killed by two men after apparently 'whistling' at someone's wife. Everyone knew who it was. The FBI knew who did it.

The two men were arrested and were found not guilty from an all white court. They laughed and joked as they left about doing that to a fourteen black boy.

He paid the price for white supremacy and his mother insisted on an open casket for the world to see

White America finally went what is going down on the South: What is this, why is this happening?

FUCK THE KILLERS RAHHHHHHHHHHH

This dumb bitch admitted he never whistled and was respectful. Fucking dumb whore THAT DONT CHANGE SHIT

Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, 1929-1968

Rosa Parks, 1913-1992

Started the bus boycott

Refused to give up her seat and was arrested

This wasn't a spontaneous thing, she had volunteered to do this and worked with the leadership of the Civil Rights movement to do this

Bus boycott continued for 1 year and 10 days and not one person got on the Montgomery bus and amazingly, a lot of white people too

Bomb in church on Sunday (hoping to hurt or kill people)

According to MLK, one of the most vicious crimes that's happened in the Civil Rights Era

Once again, everyone knew who did it, but this time they did nothing

No one was arrested even till 1977

The bomb killed 4 girls under the age of 12 and injured 22 more

Edmund Pettis Bridge, Selma, AL

By 1965, the right to vote was something the South didn't like and the bridge was used to get to the polls by African Americans

Selma had a 35% black population

By '83 of that year, people started a confirmation to 400 unarmed black people

Black man was even shot in the gut and died

MLK and others planned a peaceful march and had to crossed this bridge

Bloody Sunday, March 7 on 1965

Armed troopers attacked peaceful demonstrators who were walking across the bridge in numbers. Started in the sidewalks, then moved to the street when there were no cars, but they couldn't see what was waiting for them till they reached the top of the bridge. They saw the police and upon seeing them, were terrified.

Asked one if they knew how to swim

They continued and then were beat and shot by the police

Major networks were there too, therefore leading to televised footage of this

The marchers were bloodied and were severely injured

Worked against the plan of George C. Wallace and the troopers

17 marchers were hospitalized

April 1968, Lorraine Hotel, Memphis, TN

One of MLK most impressive speech, the Temple of the Mountain, and he was in Memphis when he gave the speech

He concluded he knew he was going to die (many death threats and most were credible)

He knew his time was limited

Its the poor white people

Some of the why us and not you?

If you're poor, you're constantly attacked and made to feel less human. But it doesn't excuse shit bitch

Two of the worst schools in Boston because they were the poorest

Football season got canceled because parents were throwing rocks due to black students

Black and white students had to enter through different entrances

Restore Our Alienated Rights (ROAR), this didn't include black people

This Vision of Hell Saved A Man’s Life

“It is not a question of God sending us to hell. In each of us, there is something growing, which will be hell unless it is nipped in the bud” — C.S. Lewis

The vast stadium was suddenly quiet as the question hung in the air. “Are you willing to surrender your life to Jesus Christ?”

Then the invitation to come forward. Over 50,000 men faced the choice between heaven and hell, and the convicting presence of God was everywhere.

I remember standing in the presence of God at this Promise Keepers gathering in Minneapolis. More specifically, I remember the battle taking place during the invitation. Several weeks before Promise Keepers, Sherrie encouraged me to invite a friend to the meeting. I thought about it—but was hesitant because I wondered if a Promise Keepers meeting would make him uncomfortable. I worried that asking him might cost me a deeply valued relationship.

I placed “invite your friend” on the back burner, and I forgot all about it as the days went by. But Sherrie did not forget—and several times gently reminded me to make the phone call. But each time I picked up the phone, I pictured myself wounding or offending him.

One of the things I love about my quiet times with Jesus is that he tells me the truth when I ask him a question. On one occasion, I asked Jesus a question about my heart.

“Why am I so open about the gospel with strangers but hesitant when speaking to my friends?” Jesus whispered, “Because you worship approval instead of me. Approval is an idol in your life.”

We think of idols as ancient relics, but an idol is anything we treasure instead of Jesus. The idol of approval feels good as our coworkers approve of our overwork. Idols whisper that approval is more important than truth. But the problem with idols is summarized by C.S. Lewis: “Idols always break the hearts of their worshipers.”

The Apostle Paul understood that approval is a game we cannot win. “Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant” (Galatians 1:10).

During the 1800s, George Müller cared for over 10,000 orphans, established over 100 schools, and offered education to 120,000 children. But before the Holy Spirit could speak to George about orphans, he had to speak to him about approval. In a journal entry, George Müller testifies:

“There was a day when I died, utterly died,

died to George Müller and his opinions, preferences,

tastes,

and will,

died to the world, its approval

or blame of even my brethren,

and friends

and since then

I have studied only to

show myself approved unto God.”

George Müller died to the idol of approval, and at that moment, thousands of children were given life.

Now, as Promise Keepers was only a few days away, approval had to die so my friend could live. As I repented for loving approval more than the lost, I picked up the phone. This time the call was effortless. As I began to explain about the conference, my friend interrupted me. “I’d love to go!”

Now we were standing side by side as the invitation for Christ was given. All around us, men were stepping into the aisle and mak- ing their way to the stadium floor. Now the prompting of the Holy Spirit.

“Tell him, ‘If you want to go forward, I’ll go with you.’”

Then, of course, the battle began to rage again. I imagined my comment offending him.

At this moment, something happened that had never happened before. As I closed my eyes, I saw my friend surrounded by flames, and his face was in anguish. He was in torment and screaming. It was a glimpse of hell.

I turned to my friend, “If you want to go forward, I’ll go with you.”

His response stays with me to this day: “I was hoping you would say that. Let’s go!” We walked together, stood together, and prayed together as he gave his life to Christ. In case you are wondering, our friendship was never the same!

I know. Talking about fire and brimstone is a thing of the past. We are too sophisticated to bring up hell as we share the good news of Jesus. Yet the Bible is filled with references to a place of torment and separation from God. A place called hell.

Over and over, Jesus spoke about hell. In Luke 16:23, Jesus describes hell as a place of torment. In Matthew 25:30, he describes hell as outer darkness. To the people in New Testament times, Jesus compares hell to “Gehenna,” a trash dump where worthless things are thrown away and then consumed in fire (Matthew 25:30).

The contrast between heaven and hell is sobering. Hell is a place of weeping, suffering, and gnashing of teeth. In heaven, there is no more suffering. Hell is a bottomless pit where you feel like you are falling forever. Heaven is safe and secure with walls that are two hundred feet thick! In hell, there is total darkness, while in heaven, there is no more night. In hell, you are hungry and never satisfied. Heaven features a river of life that brings healing. Hell is devoid of God’s presence, while heaven is where you see God’s face and are never separated from him.

I have heard testimonies where the primary reason cited for receiving Jesus was to escape the fires of hell. But the primary reason we invite someone to follow Jesus is the pure delight of loving Jesus. The miracle of being adopted by him and receiving his Spirit to live within us!

As you look for the one, never hesitate to share the consequence of sin. As A.W. Tozer once said, "We need preachers who preach that hell's still hot, heaven's still real, sin's still wrong, and the Bible is God's Word." Most of all, never hesitate to share the gospel. "But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" (Romans 10:14)

As followers of Jesus, let us declare that everyone deserves the opportunity to discover and worship Jesus. Let us consider this stirring challenge: “If sinners will be damned, at least let them leap to hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If hell must be filled, let no one go there unwarned or unprayed for.” (Charles H. Spurgeon).

As I worry about a friendship, Jesus counts the cost. As I treasure approval, Jesus treasures the lost.

Reflect:

Who has God brought into my life that needs Jesus? Do I want their approval more than their salvation?

Do I avoid sharing the truth of God’s Word concerning hell?

Equip:

How do I look for the one going to hell?

The Presence of God: Processing the issue of approval begins in the presence of God. In my case, the longing for approval stemmed from a belief that God disapproved of me. Before any rescue missions, spend time at the foot of the cross with the one who came to rescue you. "The resurrection means that God has accepted and approves of Christ's work on the cross. Therefore He accepts and approves of us!" (Nancy Leigh DeMoss)

Consider Eternity: As a teenager, my Dad and I rode along in his pickup truck, and he asked me to imagine something. "Imagine that every 10,000 years, a sparrow flies up to Mount Everest and takes one peck at the mountain. When the mountain has been reduced to dust, eternity will have just begun." Then Dad said, "Eternity is too long to miss Jesus."

Temperature Check: If hell is really a consuming fire, then we need to take our spiritual temperature. "If there be any one point in which the Christian Church ought to keep its fervor at a white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world” (Charles H. Spurgeon).

Kneel with Jesus: Amy Carmichael served Jesus in India for 55 years, and rescued thousands of children from sex slavery. She risked her life to save their lives because she knelt with Jesus. “Sometimes it was as if I saw the Lord Jesus Christ kneeling alone, as He knelt long ago under the olive trees. And the only thing that one who cared could do, was to go softly and kneel down beside Him, so that He would not be alone in His sorrow over the little children” (Amy Carmichael).

Let’s Pray:

Jesus, you have commanded us to go and make disciples of all nations. I say “Yes” to this command! Forgive my apathy and the many times I have loved approval more than the lost. Change my heart, oh God. Open my eyes and break my heart for what breaks yours.
