#on love: agape

[watchingwisteria]

aziraphale, the one who gave the first human exiles his flaming sword as both a source of protection and warmth, who did not look on them as sinners deserving of destruction but people entitled to the best chances possible, has never once looked at crowley, a heavenly exile, with anything other than compassion and a desire to protect. from their first meeting, he never wanted anything bad to happen to him. when crowley slithers up to him in eden, he treats him like an equal rather than an adversary. when crowley appears, his eyes fill with love and excitement, his gaze turns soft and hesitant, his whole body seizes with joy of seeing him. crowley might typically the one to seek him out, but aziraphale has always welcomed him home.

You know, I can't ever get over the scene where V and Urizen merge. And it's not what you're thinking. It's not cause I was shell-shocked by it (I had it spoiled before playing tee-hee). It's not cause V and Urizen are (basically) never gonna show up again- IT'S BECAUSE VERGIL LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING NURSING HOME PATIENT THAT IS SUFFERING MEMORY LOSS.

THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO IS CONFUSED AND UNSURE OF WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON. Vergil was out here thinking he was gonna die but fate said, for the 8000nth time, "Fuck you bitch; live goddamnit~✨!"

Tell me I'm not the only one who just dies laughing every time I see this.

"What- Where am I? Huh, our house looks a lot different than I remember... Why do I remember being dressed like an emo stripper- what is happening---- Oh hey, Dante and *probably* Dante's son." (100% believe that Vergil thought Nero was Dante's)

MASTER LIST FOR TUMBLR

[mitsuki91]

Okay but you know what could really destroy Snow?

Seeing Lucy Gray slowly starting to fall out of love with him. Lucy Gray knowing him so well she starts to be repulsed by him. The pain and disdain and the masks she has to wear (expecially if they are in the Capitol and she depends on him) in order to survive... With him because she has no other option. Lucy Gray, who put trust above everything, slowly starting to lie to his face, to hyde the fear and the pain behind fake smiles to make him happy with her.

And he will see this. He will see because, as always, as they are connected by the stars, as they are both performers, he can read her as she can read him. He can see her pulling back from their love story.

So. He may think that he want her to be caged, because so he can feel safe. But in reality he can not. In reality, he needs her to choose him. Everyday. They have to be a team. They have to be alone against the world (even if that means they have to perform to find a place in that world). He has to know, to feel sure, to feel warm about the fact that his Lucy Gray wanted him and wanted to be with him in the same way he wanted to be with her.

He has to be sure they truly love each others.

Or he is going to be insane. After all, he already did. One trace of doubt - he lost it. He lost it so bad.

But betrayal in a so giant way is a thing; a thing that set him in a rage, that make him spiraling without control and do despicable things in a matter or seconds.

Slowly see your only love slowly fade away? This is another type of pain who can drive one mad in a more subtle way, because he still had hope he can just fix things and surerly he will do it. Just a little time. Just a little patiente. He will do it. But in reality she fade. More and more far away. And panic arise, day by day.

So yeah, Coriolanus Snow was a boy in love, and as a boy in love (the first time I must add) wanted to cage her loved one, to control her. It's normal to feel this way when you love someone, because you want the other one to love you the same. But it's a passing thought, not a real one, because physical possesion doesn't mean owning someone's feelings, and he knew this. Deep down he knew. And he wants Lucy Gray's love above everything else.

Seeing her simply perform their love story to him will be too much.

okay i know i'm late to the party but i just finished watching Yuri on ice and I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS GONNA BE THAT GAY ???? LIKE WHAAAT, i knew that the anime was The gay anime! everybody and their mothers would talk about the kiss between viktor and yuri, so i knew (who watches Yuri on ice and doesn't know about the kiss???) Anyways, the point is I DIDN'T KNOW THE KISS HAPPENED MID SEASON that surprised me and i thought "oh... from now on i guess everything is gonna be a little boring" because i'd never saw anything else besides the kiss on social media, and before the kiss SO MANY GAY SHIT HAPPENED, WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT AT ONE POINT VIKTOR TOLD YURI HE COULD BE HIS BOYFRIEND, THAT HE WILL TRY HIS BEST???? GOD and then in the competitions viktor being so clingy ???.

But what surprised me the most was THEY FUCKING GAVE EACH OTHER WEDDING RINGS ??? sure sure "lucky charm" BULLSHIT, THEY GOT MARRIED or at the very last LIKE VIKTOR SAID, THEY GOT ENGAGED ??? HUH ???? WHY I NEVER SAW ANY OF THAT ??? and the finale ??? I lost my fucking mind, them dancing was BEAUTIFUL, AND SWEET, AND MAGICAL, AND DIVINE AND AAAA.

So yeah, it surprised me how gay this shit was.

This was Paul's deepest conviction: the knowledge that he was loved. Christ's self-offering on the Cross became the driving force in Paul's life, yet it only made sense to him because he knew that something even greater lay behind it: the fact that "He loved me." At a time when many were seeing salvation, prosperity, or security elsewhere, Paul, moved by the Spirit, was able to see farther and to marvel at the greatest and most essential thing of all: "Christ loved me."

Pope Francis (Dilexit nos, §46b)
