"You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger, rich in clemency, loathe to punish."

~ Jonah 4:2d

anyway i'm obsessed with how raven awkwardly asks after tai and the kids... she is at heart an insecure little loser and i care for her deeply

Thinking about "default to violence as a form of justice and discipline" Jason and him never questioning those thought processes or his constant urge to maim others for not staying in line with his morals/beliefs (even if those beliefs are not standard/societal or are incredibly niche to Jason specifically) because he was raised under the unspoken rule of "fuck up and find teeth in your throat" in the wolf house and it only really begins to bother him when he loses his memories but as soon as he starts to remember his past, he stops caring because oh right, this is how the world is supposed to work (he does not understand why others do not agree)

[edwinisms]

I know how it sounds at first, but I really gotta feel bad for the boys that sacrificed edwin; I mean even the term “sacrificed edwin” paints them in a more sinister light than they really deserve– considering that wasn’t really, actually their intention.

they were bullies, they were homophobic (and/or were self loathing gay boys themselves taking it out on edwin, or were equally likely peer pressured into acting a certain way), they planned something stupid and mean to do to an innocent, anxious boy with the goal of scaring the shit out of him, all because he was effeminate and an easy target. but they didn’t know or expect any of the ritual stuff to be real. they were all laughing and joking during the ritual because it was just that to them– a joke. a cruel joke, but a joke.

teenagers can be mean and stupid and they usually regret it as adults and grow out of it / grow from it. they were stifled the chance to grow out of it, at least while alive. none of those boys deserved to be instakilled and sent to hell; they’re really not that much less deserving than edwin himself. they were all just kids, after all.

i think there could be a really interesting level of self loathing to an extent with riza and roy if they did have an affair as supior officer and subordinate that i don’t think i’m smart enough to articulate or show in fanfictions and im upset cause i got the like idea of it but i can’t do anything with it

CAN HE DIE

[lilithofpenandbook]

On the one hand, I don't really believe Dumbledore was evil or (that) manipulative. He just did what he had to do

On the other hand, him manipulating Snape and making a servant out of him bound by emotional blackmail and gaslighting is SO GOOD for angsty dark thoughts-

Yaoshi Kissing Booth || Accepting || @memovia

When faced with peril, mankind's reactions largely fall within four categories: fight, flight, freeze, fawn. And history has revealed this creature's response is to freeze where action really counts.

How pitiful.

Misery, guilt and self-loathing has encased his heart in a wall of frost to numb the tender organ. He must be suffering immensely.

So why does he continue to run from deliverance?

Was it because pain is all he knew? Was he clinging onto what was familiar, regardless of the agony he would have to endure in his cyclic existence? Such a sorrowful thing. If he persists in suffering with the potential for change, then it would be cruel of the Aeon not to help.

Claws puncture the spot right where Muyang kissed, gouging in deep as they sigh and push their hand further through, puncturing themselves. When Yaoshi retracts their appendage, they carry with them a small fragment.

Blackened from tip to end. Tough, ridges forming all along the sides of the fragment. A shard of rib from a beloved devotee. Lifting the piece to their own mouth, they dissolve it into substance and coats it on their lips. Vermillion and green tinges.

They taste unlike any other substance when Yaoshi cradled the creature's head and pressed their mouths together. Parting theirs with an unnaturally long tongue so as to smear the substance onto the underside of Muyang's own.

Ash and smoke, with a hint of sweetness morphs into sticky jam as an aftertaste. It is a taste that haunts as much as the creature's own demons does.

playing with some lore, and i'm thinking of going a lil divergent from the show storyline that she & lucifer were cast to hell only after tempting eve... thinking.... lilith's death came at the hands of angels. after she fled the garden, she was 'drowned' in the red sea by three angels sent by God for her defiance and refusal to return to adam, and emerged a demon. lucifer eventually found her again and took her with himself.

i started inquisition when i was like. fifteen i think. and even then i really didn't get the numerous fan posts about how annoying solas is / up his own ass when the game time & time again feeds us tidbits of a broken down shell of a man who's going on a suicide mission to fix what he thinks he broke when he cast the old gods out. yeah his attitude about the dalish at the start of the game is insufferable but if you play as a dalish inq regardless of your rs w him he clearly admits he's blinded by his own bias to have recognized that the dalish are trying their best to reach for something long gone, revered only in tales & tomes.

[buffintruder]

I know I'm not the first person to say it, but the fact that Ouyang cuts off a body part from Zhu Chongba, expecting that it will lead to the same shame and humiliation, both internally and externally, as when one of his body parts was cut off....but then it doesn't

No wonder he hates her. No matter what he does, she'll always be seen and respected as more of a man than he ever could be and she isn't even one

[intertexts]

and the thing is, right. miranda has to be wrong, when she says flint is doing this all to outrun the shame. she can't be right, because this whole thing is predicated on the opposite. everything he's done has to be predicated on that inscription -- know no shame -- because otherwise, it's all fucking meaningless. to have shame is to believe yourself wrong. like accepting a pardon is, as he says, a statement of your contrition. flint has to be on this collision course because, fundamentally, he sees what's happened as this: a good man is ridiculed and sent to hell for the crime of 1) the audacity of considering mercy and forgiveness viable courses of action in this world and 2) loving another man and refusing to believe in any sin inherent to it. and--to reuse the word-- fundamentally, what the lack of shame when shame is expected means is this-- that if you are not in the wrong, they are. it's a fixed quantity. that if you are not wrong, in some intrinsic sense, for kissing a man, for extending grace, for finding joy where you will without fear of how it comes to you, then the structure which persecutes you for these things is. and this is can be the only driving force behind why he's been able to do these awful fucking things!!! do you think he would have been able to murder his best friend with his own hands if he was having misgivings over whether whitehall was right this whole fucking time???
