expanding on my previous monsterfucker elu thingol post: obsessed with the idea that melian is eldritch when thingol first meets her. she is not by any means in a shape that is fully comprehensible to an incarnate's mind, and in fact many incarnates would probably scream in horror at the sight of her. yet her song and her voice captivate him. he follows the sound of them. and the moment he lays eyes on her, as unable to pin down what exactly it is that he's looking at, thingol is already inescapably in love

Dear God, I want to expose a cult that has been lurking around college campuses. I know this for a fact because I was victimized by one known as the International Christian Church, or the ICC. Telltale signs, for me, that this was in fact a cult and not a product of my imagination: 1. They prey on the weak and naive, or those who are much younger in age and therefore, unable to form proper judgments about life. 2. No room for disagreement or questioning whatsoever at their "Bible" studies. 3. Feelings aren't valid to them. Only God's Word is valid. Now, I understand this to a degree. But to say our feelings don't matter is abusive. 4. I can't explain it, but do you ever just sense that people are hiding something deeper from you, in terms of doctrine, or behavior? I got that sense from them quite a lot. 5. They paint themselves as the sweetest people in the world. And to a degree, they are. They are extremely friendly and open-hearted. But.... beware. Something darker is there underneath. 6. Avoidance of the presence of darkness or maybe "heavier" emotional topics is prevalent. 7. Twisting of the Scripture to fit their own agendas. E.g. We "have" to both "obey" and believe in "order" to be a Christian, when clearly, the Bible doesn't state this.... and "we are different from other churches" because x, y, and z. I find it odd that they think they are above other denominations, and also, have a weird mentoring program. Mentoring is normal. What's not normal is reporting every instance of "sin" or perceived sin to said mentor. 8. Challenges are viewed as immediate threats to reputation, and instantly dismissed as being "valid" since they are "forms of persecution" which is "normal" in God's Kingdom. It's normal, yes.... But not the types of persecution they are referring to and are subjected to. 9. Sometimes I just feel this malevolent spirit trying to harass me every time I talk to the leader. It's set up in this format like, how I'm the lowly student, and they're all the elitist teachers with infinitely more knowledge of the Bible than I have. Bizarre and smothering, also very brainwashing. 10. I noticed at the prayer meetings, how I'm purposely excluded and shunned just because I am not officially deemed as a member of their church. Baptized into their church, that is. It's like, are you about genuine salvation, or are you more about the rituals and the outward manfiestation of that experience? I pray that anyone who has been affected by the ICC (International Christian Church) will AVOID it at all costs and that this church will shut down or at least be brought to saving knowledge of the truth of Christ. Disband this church, Lord, or allow it to conform to safer, healthier practices that do not involve heavy-handed manipulation, browbeating, or Bible thumping. They are in so deep that they are blinded by their own deceitfulness. To them, it's all about "the Bible" but they are living a fairytale delusion of being attached to a church, an organization, under the guise of "let's seek God together." I also heard that they are highly invasive when it comes to private living situations, or that they try to control which members live with one another. That they are only allowed to marry other church members, and that they aren't even allowed to kiss each other until marriage. Just so many strict rules and regulations that God never even said in the first place. God is CREATIVE! His Spirit is alive and active and He isn't "all" about the Bible. Yes, that's important. But it's only one aspect of who He truly is. Please stop idealizing the Bible to fit your standards and obsessing over it unhealthily. I used to do that and it was BAD for me. Pray for these people and don't be swept away by their deceptive practices like I (almost) was. Again, they are very sweet and friendly but it's over-the-top so don't trust it.

I have some simple questions ab Terry. 1). what would his favorite food be? 2). What is his favorite movie? 3). what is his favorite book? 4). How early do you think he gets up?/what time would he go to bed? 5). Who was his favorite parent?

Terry Silver eats like a snake eats; he eats meat. In all actuality, he does. His dietary habits changed over the years the same way his personas changed, shifting, transforming and befitting each new role and each new fashion fad (a viper on a lettuce and tofu diet is a strange thing), but deep down, I think covets a good, classic rare stake paired with fine liquor when he isn't out to, if you will, wear a mask or win over a crowd with how admirable and green his choice of meals are. It is a means to an end, of course, especially when he's older. Who doesn't want to prolong themselves? He covets bizarre food too. The slightly daunting and unusual most people would be put off by. Squid ink? Blood soups? Rare types of Crabs? Undoubtedly a great many dishes that are Korean too. Wouldn't be surprised if Terry had a particular penchant for lamb, veal and rabbit meat, just due to what the flesh of a particularly tender (stereotypically pure) animal alludes to.

I think Terry would unapologetically have a penchant for old timey movies. The elegant. The classy. Old Hollywood stuff. (Maybe Japanese Retro Cinema, as a guilty pleasure?) I don't think most of modern cinema does too much for him, unless this is the 80's and a new slasher film just came out. I'm even prone to go as far and say he enjoys black and white movies in particular and always has. It would've been something, to an extent, still in fashion when he was young, so the habit remained and dragged on all throughout his life. Don't know why, but think someone lovesick and often violently obsessive and possessive as Terry would enjoy a good romance ranging anywhere from the 1930's timeline-wise to something like Bonnie and Clyde (1967) because he sees a certain ideal...in a pair of lovers shedding all inhibitions on a rampage and their eyes meeting in cathartic vigour before they're shot to death in a scene that goes on and on almost sadistically so. He doesn't know who he'd rather be; the people shooting or the couple dying. Maybe he just likes to watch.

Notwithstanding the likes of The Art of War and Machiavelli's Prince as his all go-to's alongside most major works of Philosophy you could think of, which he, yes, reads religiously in his downtime (We literally see him read Leviathan by Hobbs), I feel Terry would enjoy something gritty and gory like Blood Meridian (The Evening Redness in the West) by Cormac McCarthy. Why? A major theme is the warlike nature of man? Critics declaring they that their "first two attempts to read through Blood Meridian failed, because [they] flinched from the overwhelming carnage"? Book quotes like "You can find meanness in the least of creatures, but when God made man the Devil was at his elbow. A creature that can do anything". Yep. Outside of that, on a slightly milder, less morbid and dark note? Don't laugh, but Wuthering Heights. I think that lovers haunting each other from beyond the grave has something that would just do it for him in a weird sense, you know? There's a zeal to that manner of devotion. Not that he'd ever mention he enjoys that one.

Terry seemingly has no clear-cut schedule of when he sleeps and his habits are often confusing when observed. He can stay up all evening, being an absolute night owl, doing goodness knows what and still be up at an unusually early time, training, like nothing happened. How he does it and how he ticks like perfect clockwork is unclear, but it is like he has always had excess energy and an almost Spartan discipline and drive intermingled with the decedent where he easily pulls all-nighters and still starts his morning routine at five o'clock sharp, easily before everyone else, doing push-ups and warm up Kata alone, right before either heading out to Dynatox's HQ, to the dojo, taking a business call, depending of the era he's in --- regardless, Terry is meticulous and orderly, regardless if he's orderly from a jacuzzi or an office. Undoubtedly a habit brought back from the military that was just drilled into him.

Could've been his mother, if only by a little bit? I feel Terry's father was undoubtedly strict and despotic, riddled with huge expectations one needed to live up to by any means necessary. But then again, so could've his mother, in a sense. I think he loved them both for all their darkness and faults and authoritarian nature regardless because they were his and Terry hasn't had anyone who was his by blood since. Nobody he was tied to that way. I think he loved them even more when they died and a great many of the possible obsessiveness, controlling (yet ironically out of control?) tendencies and maybe even cruelty they showed him was compartmentalized. Now, they joined a deceased Ponytail in their role. They became someone he absorbed into themselves through the habits and the teachings they left him with. What if his dad used to call him Terry-boy? What if he wore his father's rings? What if he had his mother's smile? I can see that much. Now, he was their only living picture.
