WHY I WILL FIGHT GOD

WHY I WILL FIGHT GOD: OKAY • THEOLOGY: I AM GOD’S WORST DAUGHTER AND I WILL FIGHT HIM UNTIL HE LOVES ME

•IF THERE ISN’T A GOD I WILL FIGHT ISN’T-GOD UNTIL IT BECOMES GOD AND LOVES ME TOO

•THERE MAYBE ISN’T A GOD BECAUSE HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A CAVE AND SEEN HOW MUCH TIME IS IN THERE, AND TIME DOESN’T HAVE YOUR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART

•THERE MIGHT BE THOUGH

•PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS LIFTING THEIR HANDS UP IN CHURCH LIKE HOW BABIES DO WHEN THEY WANT YOU TO PICK THEM UP WHICH MEANS GOD NEEDS TO START PICKING AN AWFUL LOT OF PEOPLE UP AND IN MY OPINION GOD SHOULD HAVE STARTED A WHILE AGO AND SHOULD PROBABLY HURRY UP

•PEOPLE DIP THEMSELVES IN WATER JUST TO GET GOD TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEM AND I THINK GOD OUGHT TO PAY THEM AT LEAST A LOT OF ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING THROUGH A LOT AND THEY WENT TO ALL THE TROUBLE OF GETTING DIPPED IN WATER JUST IN CASE GOD NOTICED

•I ONCE MISTOOK THE FEELING OF SAFETY FOR THE CONDITION OF SAFETY AND I’VE WANTED SOMEONE TO BLAME EVER SINCE

•THIS WILL ALSO SERVE AS A REMINDER TO GOD THAT I DO NOT PLAN ON EXPERIENCING SUFFERING OR DEATH AND WOULD APPRECIATE THE SAME TREATMENT FOR MY LOVED ONES

•IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS COULD WORK FOR EVERYONE BUT IF IT ONLY PANS OUT FOR ME AND MINE THAT’S OKAY WITH ME

•I JUST “FEEL READY” TO GET IN THE MIX

•I’VE NEVER BEEN IN A FIGHT BEFORE BUT I THINK THAT MIGHT WORK TO MY ADVANTAGE BECAUSE A I DON’T HAVE ANY BAD FIGHT HABITS TO UNLEARN AND B I’VE BEEN SAVING UP ALL MY FIGHT ENERGY FOR THIS ONE

•I FEEL LIKE GOD IS GOING TO RESPECT MY SCRAPPY ENERGY AND GUMPTION EVEN IF I DON’T MAKE IT TOO FAR INTO THE FIGHT

Thinking of women being mercilessly protective of their loved ones. Family, friends or partner. It doesn't matter. Maim and kill to protect. Going full scorched earth on the idiot who decided to be a threat. Collateral damage? Well, too bad. Shouldn't have gotten in the way.

I love characters who crave validation I love characters who have deeply selfish wants and they desperately try to fulfill them, I love characters who think they deserve better than this and lash out about it, I love characters who Need to be Important and wanted and cared about, I love characters who end up sacrificing others and hate it, I love characters that Really, Really need what they want. I love characters who can't decipher between what they want and what they actually need. Characters who's desires are so world bending that it aches. Characters who kinda hate themselves about how selfish they are. Characters who are fucking rancidly envious and angry about what they don't have. Characters who need attention and love. Characters who are emotional vampires - and cling to you and say PLEASE

i need PATHETIC WOMEN. fail women who can't do things right. LOSERS who get drunk and hit the curb. they look like shit. they make jokes nobody likes. they have GAY SEX with other women who leave when they see HER SHIT APARTMENT. she will NOT ANSWER TEXTS and WILL show up to work HIGH. what the fuck

[sapphic-story]

i love you character who’s trying to do better but cannot outrun your fate, i love you hope in spite of all proof of doom, i love you despaired attempts at making it right, i love you blind trust even as you know a knife in the back is awaiting, i love you love that doesn’t mean anything when faced with greater forces, i love you slow descend into madness at the unfairness of it all, i love you pure heart not strong enough to withstand tainting, i love you justified anger

Hey they invented a new kind of girl. In the lab, Yeah. Yeah she came out a little bit fucked up. But she loves you though so it's okay I think

the beauty of early 2000s shows is that they just... stuck to the bit. You watch this show to see a neurodiverent man solve crime with his best friend, you will get that for 8 seasons. We said this show would be about an ex-spy and his employer who built an AI and the people they save. They will do it even when they admit in the show it makes no sense because that's what you signed up for. Leverage commited so much that they got a modern version that still does the same thing instead of being 6 episode seasons about one big con.

I miss "filler" episodes, but they aren't filler because that's what you signed up for! that's why you watch the show! to see them do the thing you started watching the show for!
