on the idea of godhood and my one giant lore catchall post

spoilers for dragon age, inquisition, and trespasser dlc, etc.

this plays off of a post i read recently (i didn't remember to save it) that referred to a word used in a codex entry that basically corresponds to 'the idea and worship of power/godhood made real', as in the worship of a figure, at sufficient quantities, granting them real power. the post theorized this was how the evanuris went from being mere generals in a war to being worshipped as mage-gods, same for solas and possibly mythal. i believe it also mentioned the idea that the way the 'gods' were worshipped would've affected the gods' demeanor as well, though that becomes more of a chicken vs egg situation.

anyway. here's some thoughts i've been having.

according to solas, 'Falon'Din's vanity and desire for worshipers was so great he started brutal wars to gain more, killing all who would not bow to him.' it's unknown if the other evanuris did similar things, but the general idea is that: gain worshippers to gain power through their worship.

the chantry's goal '...is to spread the Chant of Light to all four corners of the world and to all races... Once all peoples have accepted the Chant and practice its teachings, the Maker will return and restore the world to its former glory.' (emphasis mine, quoted from the wiki)

so.

would the idea of 'worship of power/godhood made real' apply to this as well? that the meaning of the chantry insisting on spreading the chant of light to all of thedas is to mean that once everyone/enough people worship and believe in the maker, he will have power (again) to affect the world, whether the chantry knows this or not?

going down this line of thought leads me to think.. regardless of whether the maker is Real God or a Powerful Mage Worshipped to Godhood, the concept of the Original Sin would line up with a very primeval 'had his children/worshipers turned away from him, thus diminishing his power' that may have happened before the actual original sin.

would the same apply to how the qunari leaders try to spread the teachings of the qun? as far as i can tell, the qun maybe honors the askhaari koslun, but he isn't venerated as a god or as in having powers aside from the tales of his visions and prophecy regarding his teachings. i think. i did a brief skim on the wiki.

in light of it all, this could be an aspect of atheism trying to quell all the powers vying for godhood in the world. don't believe in gods! any of them! you'll give them power! all you need is order and obedience!

in works, in theory.

anyway, the thing that's been on my mind the MOST:

the Forgotten Ones, the void, and the blight. bear with me.

All that the Maker has wrought is in His hand Beloved and precious to Him. Where the Maker has turned His face away, Is a Void in all things; In the world, in the Fade, In the hearts and minds of men.

(emphasis mine, quoted from the wiki as from the canticle of threnodies)

i've read and may or may not subscribe to the theories about the blight originating from the void, from the implication of andruil going hunting in there for the Forgotten Ones and becoming Infected, bringing a plague back to her lands. assuming this story is true, then that is where the initial taint came from that could have affected the primeval thaig in the free marches (it being somewhat close to the forest of arlathan could lend credence to this) before the tevinter magisters ever entered the fade.

according to the wiki, the codex for fen'harel gives us that 'Forgotten Ones are a dark mirror presiding over the worst aspects of existence: disease, terror, spite and malevolence. They serve not as shepherds of the elves, but rather as figures of fear and dread.'

SO. IF:

andruil's plague = blight the plague = came from the void the void = either 'the maker turned his face from it' or 'the maker is not present here' The Forgotten Ones = worst aspects of existence, reside in or were born of the void the evanuris = aspects of the maker? (i THINK morrigan mentions this idea)

the evanuris as the relatively more positive aspects of the maker warring against the forgotten ones, the objectively more negative aspects of the maker, while both try to spread their versions of.. idealogy, i guess?

i say this because i question what the whole point of the blight is. but if the blight comes from the void, and the void is where the forgotten ones are or live or come from, and if the forgotten ones are.. possibly.. negative aspects of the maker... it's less that 'the maker is sending us trials by cleansing fire via the blights' and more 'this splintered part of the maker (the forgotten ones) wants to spread this negative blight to make themselves more powerful'.

the evanuris, though relatively More Positive, also apparently just want to make Themselves more powerful (because ambition can be both good and bad). and maybe initially the war between the evanuris/ancient elvhen and the Forgotten Ones WAS a war against the negative aspects of the maker, to prevent the bad from overtaking the good.

(but perfectly good and perfectly bad are in no way perfection, in and of themselves)

solas says the evanuris were mortal. there's theories that they're spirits, whose identities depend on how they are remembered and worshiped.

i say: who is to say that solas's insistence on their mortality ISN'T just another way to alter their state, to MAKE them mortal just be believing that they are. spirits can alter their reality. and with how cole made himself corporeal, the idea that spirits can just become Real and Physical if they Believe it (or are believed in?) hard enough has implications on, maybe, how some things came to be:

the evanuris: the practice of vallas'lin dedicating (unhappy, ungrateful) slaves to the evanuris affecting their later behavior (madness, vanity, betrayal) the avvar gods: powerful spirits(?) given stewardship over the avvar clans by their reverence and worship. one can even be bound to a dragon, just like how the grey wardens bound demons. just like how you could bind cole, if you wanted. the void: did the maker turn away from those dark parts of himself, whether in fear or shame? did they fester in resentment and give rise to things void of love? the forgotten ones: because every light makes a shadow, whether intended or otherwise. these shadows are black and forgotten, and they want you to know that you are, too. the dragons you fight: were they heroes worshipped to dragon-godhood, like the ancient human tribes of old did? which hero was hakkon made to possess and subvert? which angry soul perverted hakkon's purpose? the old gods: who created them, and for what? (i have ideas.) the titans: did they make the dwarves or did the dwarves make them? (i'm thinking about this) the archdemons: like demons. a spirit's purpose, perverted. the blight: a perversion of life? or the spiritual equivalent of terraforming the world for an incompatible race? the inquisitor: are you who you are or are you what they believe you to be? how do you know? you are, inevitably, a product of society and what it expects from you. the maker: did someone make him, too? what did they expect of him?

...and, you know, maybe i'm a bit crazy to theorycraft in this direction. but you know what?

i wonder if the impression of teyrn loghain on the fade is ultimately that of a traitor or a hero. i suppose that depends on how you, the player, altered his story and what people believed of him, how they remembered him. if he is remembered as both, is he both? can he only be one?

does this make you a spirit? does that make you a Maker?

Demiurge Primordial, the Godcreator!!

Thor Annual #10 (1982): In a primal time many eons ago when the Earth was still forming, the Demiurge (the incarnation of the power of creation) arose from the crackling energy of the planet's nascent biosphere!

Silver Surfer Annual #2 (1989): The Demiurge seeded the newborn planet with its energies, giving rise to Earth's Elder Gods: Gaea (Mother Nature), the dark mystic Chthon, the serpentine Set, and the sorceress Oshtur!

Thor Annual #10 (1982): However, when most of the other Elder Gods degenerated into demonic beings and began to destroy each other, the benevolent Gaea convinced the Demiurge to help her create Atum, the first of a new generation of gods!

Silver Surfer Annual #2 (1988): Atum attacked the demonic Elder Gods and absorbed their corrupted life forces, transforming him into the monstrous Demogorge!

Thor Annual #10 (1982): After all of the demonic Elder Gods had either been destroyed or chased into other dimensions by the Demogorge, he purged the corrupted god energies from his body and reverted back to his Atum form, eventually retreating into Earth's sun.

The History of the Marvel Universe #1 (2019): This god energy fell back to the Earth, where the nascent consciousness of mankind eventually tapped into it, giving rise to new pantheons of gods born in man's image.

@godcreates​ davey & katherine 

they were making progress- and frankly, that was more than katherine had hoped for, at least at the beginning. she witnessed first hand how threatened pulitzer was ( and he’s a hard man to defeat ). the young journalist wasn’t ready to give up just yet, and if she can’t reach jack now, she still had the others. the newsies were ready to fight, she could see it, even when their leader tried to tell them otherwise. she just needed to talk to davey. she hasn’t known him for very long, but he always seems to work well with jack. they have to come up with something- a way to get him back. “davey,” she calls out, spotting the exact newsboy she was looking for. katherine stops running when she reaches him, allowing herself to catch her breath. “we have to talk about this.” of course, she is talking about jack’s ‘betrayal,’ or maybe her own betrayal, because really, if davey finds out who her father is he would certainly think its a betrayal.

godcreates replied to your post “    Why is there Ben and Chad friendship erasure ?  just  because ...”

OK BUT NO SERIOUSLY I'VE BEEN YELLING ABOUT THIS FOR CENTURIES????? LIKE???? BEN/CHAD/AUDREY MUST'VE GROWN UP TOGETHER??? LIKE THEY WERE THE TRIO OF AURADON????? AND LIKE?? CHAD'S WHOLE BACKSTORY IS FAR RICHER THAN IT'S PRESENTED (imagine ur growing up wanting to be king, but then ur best friend overshadowed u. and not only that, he dated the person u liked - audrey?) BUT THE MOVIE JUST. DON'T REPRESENT THIS.

ALSO IM SORRY FOR RAMBLING BUT YOU BROUGHT IT UP AND IT JUST MADE ME PASSIONATE BECAUSE FRIENDSHIP ERASURE? no, they basically erased a lot of chad's potential and true growth.

   Literally !! The  Royal Trio give me emotions. Chad and Audrey didn’t exactly agree with Ben’s plan to bring the VK’s over but they didn’t fall out over it, like sure they didn’t give it a shot and were very resistant to change but they stuck by him (until Chad got spelled) and most likely stood up for Ben to others about  his  choice because Audrey wouldn’t let anyone say anything bad about her friends and Chad is loyal he would do anything to protect them. 

   And about the King thing Chad grew up completely in Ben’s shadow and he didn’t resent him for it. Ben got; the girl, captaincy of R.O.A.R despite Chad being better, the crown and still they were Good friends. If he wasn’t already in the shadow of his father his namesake it was his best friend then when he gets the chance to shine, when Ben has to focus more on Royal duties than sports it’s taken away from him again. Which is why I feel he always wants to prove himself.

   Sorry, I the comments and just. The Royal Trio deserve better. Not to mention making a “hero” thats  egotistical and arrogant is why I loved him as a character it was different, in the books he gets a better story but the pieces for Chad’s development and story are already there.  is he going to ever get the development and growth he deserves ? Probably not and this is an issue I think about a lot.

          everyone knows what they say about young russian skaters--yuri had just been yuri enough about it to think that if he was simply stubborn enough, it wouldn’t be a problem. that even thinking about the possibility might be tantamount to manifesting it into being. he remembers there being other skaters with him in juniors who didn’t even make it to their senior debut before they dropped from the rankings entirely. they all started young, skated with the precision, grace and determination the world came to expect from russia and then found themselves useless the moment they hit a growth spurt and became exactly as gangly and awkward as every other teenager in the world. 

        somehow, naively yuri thought he’d been excluded from this. he’d always been small--which bothered him in theory--and maybe he’d stay that way--bothered him, but at least he’d be able to keep skating. 

          but that’s not what happens. he turns seventeen, shoots up almost four inches overnight and can’t keep enough track of all this additional height well enough to land most of his jumps. jumps he could do from the age of six. with all the stumbles and falls--including one that’s left him bruised from knee to shoulder--he manages a pathetic seventh behind just about everyone worth competing against, the worst he’s ever done at the gpf. beka placed--because of course he did, he’s technically perfect and has more strength in his pinkie than half of them do in their entire body--but the idea of going to the banquet ( having everyone look and know and pity ) is unthinkable. not even for beka. he needs to wallow in self pity and the ruins of his career for a while--possibly with a lot of champagne. 

           “--no, i think i’m just gonna go back to my room. you should go though--they always wanna talk to the medalists. you’ll have sponsors lining up out the door.”
