hellooo, hope your cat starts doing better soon!
for the ask game: 36, 42, 65, 76 (for any fic)
Heya bestie!!! Thank you, I hope so too 💖 He's been eating more and I haven't had to give him the appetite stimulant to make that happen which is really good! Also he's back to batting at my feet and trying to be an escape artist, which are all good signs!!
36. How do you write kissing scenes?
Answered this one in a previous ask!!
42. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?
Reading Him by @chipmunkery and I cannot stress this enough YES. Look I know it's a rarepair and you might be unsure about jaybart as a pairing but seriously read it it's SO good and it has really great analysis of Bart as a character and it has amazing literary references and fr I could write an essay about the writing and themes of this story please please please read it if you haven't yet 💚
65. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project
I'm really looking forward to a specific chapter of I Know What My Brother Is. Like. I can't say much about it without spoiling but there's a specific thing I'm excited to do with Damian four chapters from now 😂 it's a theme I've really enjoyed working in subtly for him so far and it'll be lovely to highlight later 💖
76. Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of Know Yourself?
I picked Know Yourself because actually I had to cut out an entire 10k word scene where Babs caught on about Jay and Jason and kept it hush hush in exchange for Jason and Tim coming over to bake her cookies (she was worried about Tim and wanted to see him). It was really cute and had Jason and Tim getting to know each other a little better and I was SO upset when I realized I had to cut it, but I saved it because I think I can recycle it actually!! So that scene may still see the light of day
Thanks for the ask!! I'm working my way through everyone's asks, thank y'all for being patient 💖💖💖

"I like girls that are mean to me" - not me but dude I get it
And i live persona 3 Portable. i think they really give you a completely new perspective with Minako and the social link with Ryoji is fantastic, best one, they are so cute. I know a lot of people dislike Minako bc they say she completely negates the theme of Memento Mori, but I think she is just the flipside of the coin. Like that meme about "nothing in life matters" where one is a depressed emo (Minato) and thr other is a sunglasses-wearing party man (Minako). She does fit the theme but /differently/ and that's rhe whole point of it. That's why I long for Atlus to do that again, give us femc with a different perspective on the same theme!!!! And yes, I know it was easier in p3p bc the cutscenes were basically a narated slideshow, so it just needed a modelswap and some new social links but honestly it was so damn good QwQ
I guess thats also why I took kind of an issue with Kasumi. When she was shown there was the hope she might be a Femc, but no Atlus proceeds to be a male protag waifu game-
Tangent: the fact you can date Kawakami but not your bros Ryuji-protects-women-daily-Sakamoto or Yusuke who is just a sweet nice guy living his best artist life, is a crime and I am personally pissed about it. I really hope that future games do shake things up and dont go down this path further. You can't just give Ryuji a line that's basically "my place is by your side/right next to you" and NOT expect me to see a budding romance.
i like how that's your takeaway LMAO what can i say...... me when im just a bisexual mess. girls can be mean to me. guys too im never picky but... girls. <3
obv my appreciation for yukari and her character goes deeper than that like i think shes the realest ever but thats another analysis for another day. for now hehe heart choker go brrr
?!!!!!!! PEOPLE SAY THAT ABOUT MY GIRL FEMC?!?! who what when where Why!! let me at em!! throwing hands!!
i havent experienced minako/kotone in her entirety because well. p3fes the answer depression slump. but a large part of why i chose to p3 as my backwards dive into persona series and not p4g is because its arguably the only game to have a FeMC (maya p2 counts but also doesnt? cause she has the benefit of speaking in innocent sin that future silent protags don't).
the sheer novelty of an unabashedly cute, girly girl in a social sim rife with the theme of death... her presentation alone could've told you how she's on the 'toxic positivity' side of the spectrum when dealing with grief? your description fits so well LMAO p3 MCs are so nihilistic love them both fr....
the glorified slideshow thing, their choice to port p3p instead of giving us a revamped, definitive persona 3 with fes' benefits (The Answer, control over team members, animated cutscenes) is just proof that they need to remake persona 3 with p5-level graphics now. god what are they doing over ther...
oh man now that you've got me started on it. kasumi, kasumi... she had So Much to Her that they just kinda. fumbled. do you want me to get into it? i kinda want to get into it. but it'll turn into a whole rant and these asks get long enough as is (not that I'm complaining! bro i love these back-and-forths theyre a highlight of my day fr) so i'll save it for another time I think LMAO.
just know that im sharing grievances right there with you in the "kasumi-should-have-been-a-FeMC-of-sorts" camp.
lastly. OH for sure for real i get you like i feel the guy party members in 5 (aside from akch since. hes a special case) are kinda so agreeable to the point of simpery but like in a good way. in a dateable way. i feel like yusuke is so obvious about it too... shakes him affectionately.
for a series not afraid of social commentary they really are afraid of blatant yaoi arent they. it couldve been baby steps like how fire emblem series did it... the time was right anyhow. scratches head... little known fact about me is that pegoryu and shukita kinda have my whole heart, almost as much as shuake does!! something about boys... just let them love, ATLUS!!

An Analysis of Martin Scorsese’s “Silence”
There has been multiple speculations, reviews, commentaries, and pure condemnation regarding Scorsese’s new film, “Silence”. Anger has ensued amongst Catholic viewers over this film. Many Catholic critics are taking the film to be an attack on Catholicism, for the film seems to portray Jesus telling “Padre” Rodrigues (played by Andrew Garfield) that it is okay to commit apostasy because it is just formality. The act was to step on an image of Christ. To be brutally honest, it is easy for us Catholics to hate this film because we hate looking into a mirror.
It is a heretical teaching that apostasy can, in some cases, be “ok”. For, love of Christ must exceed all other loves. We must not love other people or objects above God. This is the first commandment God gave to us, “have no other gods before me”. The source of all sin is pride, since pride tells us “we are better than God” or “we know more than God”. Pride is also the most difficult vice for us Catholics to burn out of our soul. The devil, in his ultimate deceptiveness, can make “holy” men be prideful of their holiness. The greatest deception is turning holy things into a source of temptation.
The movie touches upon multiple abuses within the Church, present then, and present now. The most prominent theme being, love of ministry over love of God. As hard as it is to admit, this is one of the largest issues I see in our modern day Church. The first example I could think of was the incident regarding Fr. Frank Pavone in the days leading up to the U.S presidential election. There, on a Facebook video, Fr. Pavone placed an aborted child on an altar, and expressed the urgent need of voting pro-life in the upcoming election. The local ordinary, Bishop Patrick J. Zurek of the diocese of Amarillo in Texas made a statement regarding the events. He stated,
“Father Frank Pavone has posted a video on his Facebook page of the body of an aborted fetus, which is against the dignity of human life and is a desecration of the altar. We believe that no one who is pro-life can exploit a human body for any reason, especially the body of a fetus.” (https://amarillodiocese.org/news/statement-from-bishop-patrick-j-zurek)
Though the Bishop could not take any disciplinary action upon Fr. Pavone, the event still highlights an important understanding of the current state of the Church. By his actions, Fr. Pavone has put the needs of the unborn above our Eucharistic Lord. Now I, nor anyone else, can judge Fr. Pavone’s heart, but the principal of his action leads to such a conclusion.
In the film, when the priests go to find Fr. Ferreira in Japan, and come across villages filled with Christians in desperate need of a priest, Fr. Rodrigues says he has found “purpose” in being needed. Now it is important to understand the role of the Jesuits in the Church, they were THE evangelists. Men joined the order to be missionaries, and win souls over for Christ. In my favorite film, Ridley Scott’s “The Gladiator”, I remember a very keen scene that applies to the principal I want to discuss. Emperor Marcus Aurelius (played by Richard Harris) says to Maximus (played by Russell Crowe), “…when a man sees his end, he wants to know there was purpose to his life” (The Gladiator). This principal can be applied to the two Jesuits, particularly Fr. Rodrigues. As missionaries, they found their sense of “purpose” administering the sacraments and being available to the christians in Japan. They’re role as priests for Christ was morphing (if it was not already morphed) as being priests for the people. They wanted to find purpose for their lives, and found that purpose in what other people saw in them, and not in what they could give to Christ. Pride was their ultimate enemy.
The temptation of pride was a very dangerous one. The Japanese government said over and over again that these christians are dying for the priests. For awhile though, Fr. Rodrigues fights this temptation as best he can. His partner, Fr. Garupe (played Adam Driver) seemed to let this thought get the best of him early on. However, the moment where I believe Fr. Rodrigues embraces this pride is when he is arrested and the “Inquisitor”, Inoue (played by Issei Ogata) says to Rodrigues, “The price for your glory is their suffering!” (Silence). This is the most dangerous thought and temptation planted in Rodrigues’ mind, and the one he does not deny. We do not see him say “no, not my glory” or anything. We see, in his face and actions, defeat. From this point on, Rodrigues personally takes responsibility for the suffering of the Christians in Japan. He did not deny Christ by stepping on the image of Christ, he denied Him long before.
When Fr. Rodrigues commits his public act of apostasy, the film packs a lot of questions in a few minutes. The big question being, was it the voice of Jesus who told Rodrigues to step on him? Theologically speaking, it could not have been. But the question is not asking what the truthful answer is, but what the filmmakers intended. There’s a few reasons why I do not believe so. One, Rodrigues denied Christ before this event took place. Two, when he steps on the image we hear a cock crow, a sign that he denied Christ. Three, the actions that followed this denial are not consistent with what he was searching for… peace.
Would Rodrigues not have found peace in Christ from making this decision? His actions for the rest of the film tell us that he can not find peace. He does not look happy at all with what he is doing, neither does Fr. Ferreira. Also, why would Rodrigues stop practicing Christianity? At the end of the film, we see Rodrigues being buried and the camera goes into the coffin where we see him holding onto a crucifix. This hints that he had a private christian life, which is what the Japanese government wanted (Bishop Barron explains this in more detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Th7Tiz1cEk). But this contradicts Christ’s entire ministry here on earth. Did Christ tell Peter it was “ok” to deny Him three times? Didn’t Christ say that we, Christians, will be persecuted? Of course he did, so I would wager that it was not the voice of Jesus that Rodrigues heard.
So, who’s voice was it? It sounded an awful lot like Fr. Ferreira’s voice, though I could not be certain. Could it have been the devil? No, I think it was Rodrigues’ own imagination, and he imagined Christ’s voice to sound like…Fr. Ferreira’s. Why? Well, we learn very early on how important Fr. Ferreira is to both Rodrigues and Garupe. Their admiration of Ferreira is what leads them to Japan in the first place. They would not, and could not accept that Ferreira committed apostasy. It was after Rodrigues finally meets Ferreira again, with a Japanese name and a Japanese wife, where we see any last drop of hope in Rodrigues…die. Again, instead of centering everything on Christ, he puts his trust in mortal beings.
Pride is the hidden but driving theme in this film. We often like to believe that we have everything in order, that we are “good Catholics”, but we can not compare ourselves to Hitler. While “Silence” is very dangerous, and poses very heretical ideas, how can we as Catholics view this piece? Do we hate it because it makes the Catholic Church bad? Or, do we hate it because it forces us to look into a mirror?
