i don’t know how much understanding emile would have for the endless, tbh. everything about it feels so cruel to him—taking away people’s memories to spare them pain, taking living people to keep the dead propped up and half-alive in a daydream.
so much about his loss has shaped him into who he is, and though he’d love to see his father again, he would never give up the memory of him. he lives on in emile, who fights to make him proud and honor him in all that he does….

i've never been reached out to by a god. spirits, sure; ghosts, maybe. but never a god.
and i certainly have never spoken to a god, and the times i've recieved any sort of message or sign from a god [though i do question those, too] i can count on one hand.
i'm agnostic and a skeptic; i question my beliefs all the time. though, when all is said and done, metaphors are real and useful concepts, and worshiping and dedicating at least some of my time to the divine has helped me. but this comes with a certain lack of certainty lol.
i communicate one way; me to them. i never request signs, messages, and i certainly never try to use divination to speak directly to the gods. this is a personal decision, and do not expect anyone else to make the same choice.
but all this to say, i've seen plenty of people on here ask about receiving signs, messages, words from the gods. asking about if they should wait to be called. i've even seen people suggest you ask permission from the gods to worship them.
there's a power in choosing the gods you worship. there's a kindness, a love, when you give a piece of yourself to the god/s and say i'm here! do you think the average worshiper in ancient times waited for a response? waited to be picked, called upon, or chosen? no, i don't think so. there's a certain power in that, and i understand the desire to be wanted by a god, but i truly despise the idea that a god will reject you; i hate the idea that a god will turn you away.
not that a certain god might not be the guide that you need at a certain time, but that a god will outright tell you no? that's just terrible.

Cay cay…
GOD FINALLY. okay, so for my purposes (simping) he's bi (masc lean) bc i can feel like any gender at any time but. masc lean. and also it just fits and he wouldn't be as specific with labels as i am, i don't think. and he's probably transmasc (or maybe genderfluid?) because gOD THE EFFECT THAT WOULD HAVE ON HIS LORE. his sisters wanting him to be into typically feminine, cutesy stuff like them?? ELEVATED BY TRANSNESS. as most things are...
also t4t ftw

so like. lately I've been feeling like there's some kind of Thing living in this house with me, like a spirit or creature or something, and i feel like it's been here a long time bc of how long things have been going missing in this house with no explanation. and i noticed when i got really badly sick i lost something and it made me like. sob uncontrollably bc it was important. and then i started Finding things in odd places. so i started thanking the mysterious entity. and now I'm finding More Stuff more often. and like i feel strange for believing in this entity bc I've always been told believing in pagan things is childish (??????) and feel awkward thanking it but also i Want To bc it's polite. anyway i wanna like. leave a little offering or something but don't know what would be appropriate bc i also dont know what entity this is
