#truth crisis

Was the first vision a “vision”? Was it the “first” one? Which one is “The” first vision? There are so many different accounts. The gospel topic essay mentions some of the main versions, but they also gloss over the differences and dismiss them all. The First Vision is a total misnomer and can be completely debunked with some simple reading and thinking. Something the church does not want members to do, they do everything they can to keep members from looking at the accounts. They first tried to hide them, and then they dismiss them by saying "we’ve always been honest and transparent about these accounts, and they all tell the same consistent story anyways, so don’t worry, trust us" ...

I think a lot of discussion about starting to read comics vs manga doesn’t address that a good percentage of the people who are hardcore about comics now started by picking up some random issue, going ‘it makes no damn sense. Compels me though,’ and then kept reading just to find out what the fuck all that was about

like I see people insult the Choose-Your-Own-Adventure aspect of reading shared universe superhero comics, but some of us are little weirdos who got hooked on comics specifically because theyre a puzzle we get to put together

do you guys think the reason PJ decided to babysit Phil wasn't only because of his concerning monster-fucking video, but actually cause Dan texted him like PLEASE HELP HE'S GONNA MAKE EVERYTHING GREEN, so he had to like... keep Phil busy before the forever home was destroyed or...?

"You know, Real Rashid, I'm pretty good at my job, a bright young reporter with a point of view. Interviewed a fallen Catholic archbishop, four Enron vice presidents, and if they've got something to hide, they always start with some kind of disguise. Not literally, not some dumb Halloween costume, gloves, contact lenses. They tell jokes, they're charming. And then at some crisis point when I get close, it drops away and I see a flash of the truth."

It’s “realizing that Will’s struggle in S2 with being infected with a virus that spreads and will kill him quickly (but doctors don’t care) is a metaphor for how gay men were treated during the aids crisis” hours

—right alongside Mike (who comes from a family with a Reagan sign in their front yard + a mom who outwardly supported Margret Thatcher), who sat at his now confirmed gay best friend’s side the entire time he was sick and watched as people were willing to let him die because he was viewed as expendable……and now has an ongoing storyline where

1) his relationship with his girlfriend is falling apart because he doesn’t love her romantically

2) he’s staring longingly and pushing toward the freedom his gay best friend embodies for him, and

3) he cannot bring himself to tell anyone around him something because “what if they don’t like it” + dehumanize him for telling the secret truth he cannot bring himself to externalize, despite now knowing something that scares him about about himself:

(Bonus points for the fact that the first time we see Mike push Will and himself toward a girl is after he watches how people were willing to let his gay best friend (and him, by extension) die should they not confirm to expectations)

very sad still see the saria/silence divorce headcanon still going around

have you ever tried to consider that they never dated before lone trail because it would be unrealistic with the timeline and the events and also because it would be overshadowing the actual truth of why they couldn't get along

(Genesis, walking up to his old friend with a chunky ice pack pressed against his nose)

Angeal: Genesis! What on Gaia happened to you?

Genesis (voice muffled by a squished nose): …Sephiroth.

Angeal: Sephiroth? What did he do?!

Genesis: He gave me a coupon to the hardware store—what do you think he did? The man socked me!

Angeal: Why?! Did you call him “Sephibroth” again?!

Genesis: No.

Angeal: Sephicloth?

Genesis: No.

Angeal: Did you eat the last chef ravioli?

Genesis: NO.

Angeal: Well what else could possibly make him so angry?

(Genesis narrows his eyes)

Genesis: I told Zackary that the popular idiom was “dog-eat-dog world” instead of “doggy dog world.” The boy freaked out at the implications and the next thing I know Sephiroth is snarling like a blasted hyena and threw his big stupid fist at my face!

Angeal: …

Angeal: …

Angeal: It’s not doggy-dog world?

Genesis: AM I THE ONLY EDUCATED PERSON IN THIS COMPANY?

Sephiroth and Genesis were the original toxic yaoi

Dyne and Barret were the original doomed yaoi

[altocat]

Every time I see a Nibelheim argument that boils down to "Sephiroth did the thing because his ego/pride was shattered" I want to rip my hair out.

was thinking about leverage dnd classes and i think the obvious choice for sophie is bard, but i don't think that's quite right, because her whole thing is that she's NOT a very good actor. she's not an Artist, she's a grifter. i think one of the reasons why sophie struggles with acting is because then the goal is art/self-expression/a desire to communicate with and be seen by the world (something she has a whole crisis about) while the goal of grifting more readily aligns with her own (facilitating a con). like bards are ultimately a class that's about supporting/"inspiring" others through creative endeavors (getting stronger by improving your craft), while other charisma casters like warlocks are about power and ambition (getting stronger by selling your soul); but i think sophie's talents are closest to those of sorcerers, whose powers are more innate and something to be learned to be controlled. sophie's struggle isn't that she's not good enough at her job, but that maybe she's TOO good at it to the point she doesn't know who she is, and that her powers may in fact hurt others. if anything, she's a sorcerer carrying around a lute and charming her audience into clapping for her when her performance flops

But Republicans told me the climate crisis was a hoax.
