#the second eve

[nyxanarchy]

Something something about stories and tales as a weapon against authoritarian authority, something something about a girl who is a liar destroying death with the power of telling real stories , something something about the second Eve freeing the deads by giving a name to a creature who was deemed unworthy of it.

Whilst I love the His Dark Material books, I do appreciate the show for explaining the parts of the book that I always found a bit difficult to wrap my head around: namely the prophecy and what Lyra being the second "Eve" meant.

It's hard for me to voice exactly my opinions on the original story of Adam and Eve, given I was not raised Christian and only told the basic outlines of the bible (Adam and Eve, birth and death of Jesus etc) from my primary school days at a Church of England school.

But from what I understand, Eve was the cause of "original sin/fall of man". I am purely fascinated by what exactly this means, as I can't seem to find a solid answer anywhere; but HDM (or rather the author, Philip Pullman) attempts to explain "the fall" as becoming aware of knowledge, love, and experience. Things that are associated with growing up, and moving away from childhood innocence. This was (in my opinion) quite vague in the books, so the show adds some commentary about it that I appreciate:

So that's it. Lyra as Eve is doing what her predecessor did: was tempted to experience all the good and bad that makes us human.

I'm also curious as to how Adam fit into this - Was he tempted as well, or did he follow Eve into "sin" because he wanted to remain faithful to her? Were they really like children until they became aware of everything g thanks to the fruit? Was it all a good or bad thing?

Don't we all just wanna see Crowl E and AzEVAphale holding hands at the end?

And M-Oriel for good measure, can't leave them out ~

Good Omens Study Club movie poster art!

At first I thought making this crossover would be very hard, but turns out it was super fun! Especially putting in all the easter eggs.

I don’t care how ridiculous it looks in live action, Ahsoka going EV to distract the bad guys while Sabine fixes the ship is hardcore Anakin Skywalker’s former padawan behavior.

Like I can practically see Force Ghost Anakin cheering while Obi-Wan covers his eyes in horror.

PRINCESS RHAENYS TARGARYEN: Warrior, Advisor, Grandmother.

[qtubbo]

Tubbo statement on how he values the eggs over others, and that he straight up would kill Fred his literal love interest if it came down to it. Now getting this actually tested, and his conviction actually being stronger than previously stated. He would kill for the eggs, he would even kill himself or his close friends. He will put his entire life into looking for the eggs when kidnapped, even ones he does not know well because their kids. Even to the extent of searching and getting panicked for Pomme because she’s bad’s daughter and could be in danger.

Normally people have less conviction when put into the actual stressful situation but Tubbo showed he will do more than he ever said.

Tonight I will watch the animated Christmas Carol. It’s an annual tradition every Christmas Eve for my partner and I—we even eat plum pudding! It’s meaningful to us because Dickens’ tale of second chances performed its own Christmas miracle at a time in our lives when we both—independently and together—most needed it. On this present Christmas Eve, I wish you all the joy of finding you can start again… and that making a start can never come too late. Start that journey, begin that novel, take the first steps of that return trek. Tis the season.

And a special Merry Christmas Eve, by the way, to Molly Oldfield and @neil-gaiman for a rare opportunity to hear A Christmas Carol the way Dickens himself would have wanted.

May the magic continue!
