#revelation-20

[atfnews]

The Messianic Banquet is an intriguiging aspect of end times studies. It comes after the arrival of the kingdom and marriage of the Lamb. Along with the Messianic Banquet is the war against Gog and Magog. In this study, we clearly show how all these events line up during the endtimes. This study presents major challenges to the Amillennial and Dispensationalist views.of the endtimes, dispels the idea of rapture and shows that the battle of Gog and MaGog in Revelation occurred in connection with the Roman invasion of Jukdea. It is hope that the listener will pay careful attentioni, take notes and check the Scripture references and reason logically. Check Us Out Our On YouTube channel to leave us questions or comments.

♥️Reveling in Richonne - TOWL

#20: The 'Poison' (1.03)

gif cred: @clonecaptains

There's a lot of duality in TOWL and one of the most interesting is the idea of something or someone having the capacity to be both a poison and a cure. In the following scenes, we're introduced to the idea that Rick Grimes is someone who will especially have to wrestle with whether he's a poison or a cure. And Beale seems to think Rick is capable of being either...

So after fully immersing himself in the Richonne bubble during that super cute little passing-by moment with Michonne, Rick is brought back to the reality of their high-pressure circumstances when he turns around and sees Pearl talking with a soldier. 

Then there’s Donald Okafor’s funeral and Beale talks about how Okafor sacrificed being with his wife to save more people. Definitely meant to allude to Rick. And it’s not alluding to Rick ever sacrificing Michonne cuz he would literally never, but more sacrificing his ability to be with her.

It’s interesting how Beale says Okafor ended “everything he was, everything he had” because in losing his wife he lost everything. He lost himself. Definitely meant to allude to Rick whose wife is his everything. The scene ends on Rick’s face as Beale speaks of sacrifice, and I think it’s because he’s weighing the sacrifice he’ll have to make to get Michonne out alive.

Pearl walks with Rick and recalls the day she met Okafor and she’s already starting to reveal her B tendencies as she basically seems to wonder if doing things Okafor’s way is really the right way anymore.

The thing that stuck out to me from this Pearl and Rick exchange is just how much Pearl doesn’t really know Rick despite thinking they’ve developed a tight bond. Like their friendship is very formal.

gif cred: @perryabbott

Beale shows up and they salute him. Beale says Okafor saw a lot of potential in Rick and Pearl. Rick thanks him and Beale says, "Don’t thank me yet" as he’s clearly not fully sold on Rick. Beale says whenever he thinks of Rick he thinks of “pharmakon” which is “an Ancient Greek word meaning both ‘poison’ and ‘the cure’."

I like the double meaning of the word and how this idea of poison vs. the cure relates so much to what Rick is wrestling with. I think some people initially assumed the show put this part in because the big question of the series would be whether Rick is the poison or the cure to the CRM/Civic Republic. But what I love is that this actually is far more personal.

The show's big question that they have Rick go on a journey to answer is if he's the poison or the cure for his wife and his family.

The CRM has in so many ways convinced Rick he’s a poison to them, that merely by being back with his loved ones he’d bring about their demise. Rick has now convinced himself of this, which is why it’ll take some deprogramming in ep 4 for him to realize he’s not just this beacon of harm but of hope and safety and love for his wife and family. He’s the cure. But right now he believes he’s the poison to them. 

Beale emphasizes that he’s not sure about Rick and Rick looks down and then looks right back at Beale, clearly with some thoughts. He looks like 'well damn I’m not sure about you either, sir, cuz I know what it is to be a leader and you’re not giving what needs to be gave in the leadership department. #DirectQuoteFromHisMindObviously 😌

Beale being unsure about Rick still after all these years shows that Rick’s A DNA is hard to hide too. So Rick can’t be too frustrated when Michonne is having an equally hard time convincing people she’s a B.

Beale gives Rick a book he gave to Okafor “Martial Arts: The Book of Family Traditions” hinting that Beale would potentially like for Rick to take on an Okafor-type role in his ranks one day. Beale then goes to speak with Pearl privately as Rick takes a deep breath and watches them drive off, not knowing that Pearl is about to get full-on indoctrinated into the CRM's belief system.

gif cred: @perryabbott

Later, Pearl comes by Rick’s apartment to say she got promoted to Command Sergeant Major…and at least she knocks now. 🙂

Pearl says Beale told her everything and she got the echelon briefing despite initially thinking she’d have to wait years for it. And again Rick and Pearl's friendship seems so formal because she’s not here to celebrate but rather to go over work details about the Summit and tell Rick he’ll need to take over logistics at Cascadia Base.

Rick’s eyes and ears perk up when Pearl then says, “He also asked me about Consignee Bethune.”

gif cred: @andy-clutterbuck

And nothing confirms you’re that girl more than a statement like Pearl saying, “More than 17,000 in this force and she’s on his radar.” And of course, Michonne is. I’m sure Beale’s exact words were 'Thorne, tell me about this Consignee Bethune because I get the sense that she’s the baddest chick in the game.' 👌🏽😇

Pearl tells Rick, “I just want you to know she reflects on me now.” And Rick is in full protection mode when he asks/says with seriousness, “Well you told them it was for Okafor.”

I know he wants to make sure the CRM only have the info he wants them to have because if Pearl at all indicated she argued for Michonne on Rick’s behalf it would have both Rick and Michonne being looked into. Pearl says, “I did, and it was. It was for you too.” 

Then Pearl says, “It’s happening. I’m moving up and I can’t have her pull me down. I just need you to know that” Pearl, Michonne is not of the pull-people-down variety…unless it’s out of helicopters. 🙂 But if anything she’s the type that's going to pull you up. 👌🏽

gif cred: @coolpartytimefan

Rick tries to quell Pearl’s concerns saying, “She won’t. I’ll make sure.” See these are the things that Pearl should be picking up on. Because why would Rick care so much to make this his responsibility if it wasn’t because he has some serious vested interest in Ms. Bethune?

When Rick says he’ll make sure, Pearl says firmly, “You will” and Rick looks down and nods. Pearl thanks Rick for listening and for having his drink and I guess her calling him 'Rick' instead of 'Grimes' shows they’re more friendly than before but again so formal.

Also, Rick in that all-black outfit tho…just had to give that another moment of appreciation cuz my goodness. ❤️‍🔥

Before Pearl leaves she teases about a salute. They salute each other and then she gravely says, “You didn’t hear what I heard. You didn’t see what I saw….You will.” Beale's fear-mongering tactics are a poison of their own, imo. And it’s clear whatever Beale says to get people to convert to his outlook worked very well on Pearl.

Again this is why I think she's a B masquerading as an A. Not even trying to hate on her because Pearl, like Rick, lost her love and thus lost her way and is searching for some new purpose. But she quickly hopped from Okafor’s plan to Beale’s because B’s need to be given a mission whereas A’s create their own. 

gif cred: @perryabbott

Rick locks the door when Pearl leaves and I bet he makes sure to lock the door because he’s like the way these CRM people stay barging in I gotta be extra careful. And then Rick ‘A’ Grimes proceeds to get to work on a mission of his own - Operation Get Michonne Home to Judith - even if it heartbreakingly means trying to make Michonne leave without him. 😓👌🏽

saw a post by @/cariocake saying smth along the lines of "i hope Bucky's adventuring party is patient with him"

and like!! fuckin please,,,

i hope Bucky's party sees him for the kid he really is

devout (ish?) follower of Helio, yes. crossing a line with the whole "conversion" talk, definitely.

but up to his neck in a religion cult that prioritizes lofty ideals over the individual, religious trauma he's yet to unpack, and experiencing a community completely different from the one he grew up with for the very first time (and supposedly "straying" according to one buddy dawn)

I hope they can see Bucky as the Bad Kids saw Kristen in freshman year. Fucked up, annoying, but with a good heart. And I hope that his party members help him overcome the parts of his childhood that he may discover he doesn't like. You can't pick your family, but you can pick your friends.

when is brennan going to address the sandra lynn’s partner to aguefort faculty member pipeline

[fishareglorious]

In the CN server, apparently Lilya's age there is 17, which means four years ago the madwoman Constantine gave this thirteen year-old vodka to drink herself silly so her plans of horrifically traumatizing this other twelve year-old and wiping several others off the plane of existence can be fulfilled.

♥️ Ranking Richonne

#20: I Don't Have A Problem (S3E12)

Clear. 🤩 One of The Walking Dead's best episodes for many reasons, but especially for the beautiful seeds it planted between Rick and Michonne. The fence is where their lives became interlocked, and Clear is the start of where their hearts became interlocked. And in this scene right here, Richonne became absolutely inevitable...

This whole episode is something special, and I love Rick and Michonne's every interaction, with an honorable mention to their “the mat said welcome” scene. 😋 From the moment they met, these two had some romantic tension brewing, and it nearly boils over in this scene that just had to make the top 20.

Rick has brought Carl on his first run and decided to bring Michonne along to help and to see what she’s about. It'll forever be telling to me that Rick felt comfortable enough to have Michonne on this run alone with him and his kid.

Despite some arguing that Rick was strictly skeptical of Michonne during this era of their relationship, I think the fact that he brought her out here to his former neighborhood and then, even more, let Michonne go out unsupervised on a crib run with Carl showed that there was some level of trust here that I don't think Rick would give to just anybody. Like while Rick initially tried to fight how drawn he was to Michonne in season 3, his behavior with her still painted a clear picture that to him...

And Michonne shows both Rick and Carl just how special she is and proves that she’s the real deal in all aspects throughout the episode. Especially in this scene here. 

So what I love about this scene is that in a moment where Rick is feeling visibly frustrated and disappointed, Michonne’s regal calm spirit practically tames his defensive energy. He asks if she has a problem with the new approach they have to take, despite her showing no signs of having an issue. And Rick asking this will just always make me amused because no one got him hot and bothered quite like Michonne just existing.

Like she was silent for a literal second, but that was enough to evoke a reaction from him. And Andy, to me, found the perfect way to ask where it was defensive without sounding overtly challenging or particularly offputting.

And then Danai just makes all the right choices in this scene cuz Michonne knows that she doesn’t need to match that testy energy. Instead, she turns slowly and looks right at Rick and sets the tone by gently saying, “No Rick, I don’t have a problem.” 👏🏽👑

Something about even just her saying his name has some weight to it. And I love that this is the approach she takes. This is genuinely me every time I hear Michonne perfectly deliver that line...

Michonne had been a bit quieter and apart from the group prior, and this line is her elegant offering to let Rick know she isn’t his opponent and wants to help - that she isn’t a problem and doesn’t have a problem, not with his approach, or just doesn’t have a problem in general that he has to worry about.

And then to make that verbal offering of her alliance even more physical, Michonne hands Rick the lone bullet she picked up. Rick takes it and the way they focus on their hands again feels like it’s an important exchange. It’s like their first peace offering. And it’s one of the first of many things Michonne and Rick will hand each other, including a very special pack of mints that parallels this scene a bit. 😊

I love that Carl is visible in this scene and noting this exchange between his dad and the woman who will become his mom and his best friend. Carl knew something was up here and that something was different about this. He was still skeptical of Michonne at this point, but I think it was at this moment he began to tell that Michonne has some sort of unique impact on his dad. 

This scene is also special because this is Rick in the freshest stage of being a single dad. He has to raise his son, who went through the trauma of having to put down his mom, and he also has a newborn to take care of, who he knows is actually Lori and Shane’s baby. And he has to deal with all this madness with the Governor. The weight of the world was on Rick's shoulders, and you see him really frustrated that the lack of guns at the station is yet another L. But Michonne is just so calm about it which is the energy he truly needs in his life. 

She just asked if there’s a new solution cuz she only envisions winning. Even just when hearing Rick earlier explain how he was the police in this small town and there are other places to check and all that you can tell that he’s used to being second-guessed and challenged by people, and having to prove himself...But Michonne isn’t other people. She gets him, and she’s not rattled by their situation, so he doesn’t have to prove himself.

I also love how, even as they speak, it’s tense but not harsh. There’s just always this passion pulsating between them, even as strangers.

There’s so much power in the fact that Michonne wasn’t hostile back, but rather calm, collected, and compassionate. The way she looks at him here just says she sees Rick in a deeper way than most. Even that early in their relationship, she understood him.

So even with Rick bugging out, it doesn’t intimidate her or put her off, Michonne gets it and she handles it beautifully. If Rick and Carl didn’t know they were rocking with a queen before then, they knew now.

And y’all, I know Rick knew they were with someone special because of his reaction after this exchange.

Rick’s reaction to Michonne after she hands him the bullet and looks right in his eyes with that soft knowing expression before walking away is the cherry on top of this golden scene because homeboy looks like he’s been fully enchanted. Like Rick's whole energy is giving...

Rick pockets the bullet and takes a whole moment to collect himself after the way Michonne looked at him. His look up to the sky was a 'dang, can Lori see me falling for another woman in just a few short days?' look. #DirectMindQuote 😂

Rick and Michonne felt a spark right then and there. I know it. And no characters would have an exchange like this unless it was a seed toward something romantic growing. 

Even deeper than that, I love that this moment was an insight into so much of what makes Rick and Michonne's relationship special. They can speak to each other and reach each other in any state. They can be a calming presence. They can enchant each other. They are so clearly the exact type of person the other needs in their life. They have such a unique and positive influence on each other, and this was the beginning of many moments that show that. 

I love that it was this moment that had even Danai wondering if Rick and Michonne were endgame and that it was then confirmed that for Gimple, Richonne really was in the works during this episode. I mean after an exchange like this, the road to Rick and Michonne falling in love was pretty much guaranteed. 

So I love seeing Rick and Michonne in this early stage, especially knowing they will go on to become beloved family to each other in the fullest sense. #Husband&Wife 😌
