don’t think I didn’t clock how narrative focused Brennan is this season. Like yes his gm style has always been a good balance between combat and rp, but it’s so visible seeing how much he wants the players to focus on npcs and their interactions. like Cassandra’s emotional state and Kristen’s nonchalance was really amplified because of it. and honestly? gotta thank Aabria for it.
And here I thought my fandom brainrot was slowly disappearing. I’ve moved countries, gotten married, I’m having a baby, but then -once in a while- things start creeping back
TELL ME THIS ISNT SOMETHING MAVERICK WOULD BUY FOR BABY ROOSTER
LOOK ME IN THE EYE AND TELL ME HE WOULDN’T DRESS BRADLEY LIKE A MINI-ME

So much of Christian teaching around thought crime is dependent on the idea that we are fully in control of every thought we have. And when it interfaces with mental health it becomes extremely dangerous. Like the below:
"Anxiety is a sign you're not trusting God's plan for your life."
"If you're depressed that means you're not relying on God to be your joy."
Neither of these things are true and they don't reflect how either anxiety or depression actually work. Illnesses have been used for hundreds of years by religion to demonize people. If you would scoff at someone saying a person's cancer is because of specific sin in their life, you should hold the above statements in similar contempt.
There are real treatments for depression and anxiety that help people. It's not a matter of a person's faith and claiming so IS HARMFUL TO PEOPLE WHO SUFFER FROM THOSE ILLNESSES! Judging people as sinful or of little faith for their illnesses makes it harder for them to receive real life bringing care from professionals trained to provide it.
—she’s not playing chess. every piece on that board is a pawn, including her teammates. (alice takes the lily’s place on the chessboard; as a pawn, she moves across the board to become a queen.) this isn’t chess; it’s a war game fought with identical troops, soldiers, stripped of individuality—and her friends, her teammates, the peers who rely on her to lead them, have taken up the positions of those pawns. her opponent is a queen—
but also a playing piece herself, one that breaks. this world asks ruby to leave herself behind; and it asks her what will happen if she doesn’t.
(just because you’re more valuable to me than a pawn does not make you a player??) (squints)
