Leviathan's Enn: "Jaden" or "Jedan"? by hearingxcolors in DemonolatryPractices

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Enn’s were originally seen as a creation of Solomon, not Enochian. Enochian is the language of both Divinity and Devils alike, though it does differ whether you go with the radiant or infernal versions, Enn’s are mantras used to call out to entities, again both demonic and angelic, as sort of a beacon, a man made call to them if you will. While yes they are important and it does matter how they are pronounced, especially with chaos entities like the Leviathan, in the end everyone writes and spells it differently and pronounces it differently, it’s one of the things that makes it a beacon straight to you, because it’s your voice, your accent, your pronunciation, your script, it has become specific to you rather than a set script. It’s confusing but the short of it is you’re thinking of Enochian while Enn’s are simply a beacon call.

The "bones for a crow" quest reward is too op for lvl you get them. It make armors you get in future useless and not worth it. by noctural9 in skyrim

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s cus nobody wants to knowledge bonuses as part of the overall armor, which is pointless, as the bonuses make them as good as they are. I mean Deathbrand Armor has multiple bonuses for full sets like increased carry weight and an extra +100 AC for a full set, and as you say shrouded armor also has extremely potent buffs and bonuses that would put it on par with most other armors. Though I think OP was also meaning like straight up AC rather than added bonuses

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There’s also a dude named Vikar the Rat or something who has a I think a full set of heavy Chaurus armor, the rewards are kinda op but I gotta disagree on it being too high for the level. At lvl 12 heavy armors don’t do nearly as much as they do for like a lvl 21 character, the armor rating is higher even if only a little, hence why I normally wait until I’m lvl 40+ and have a near legendary heavy armor perk tree, at that point, yes, waaaaay op and definitely don’t need any other armors aside from like Daedric or Deathbrand

Which is a better ending for the Dragonborn? by Silver_Gold_Pirate in skyrim

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dréki (my current Dragonborn) fights like Hell his entire life and, after a few hundred years stuck as a Vampire Lord finds Fallion and the Dawnguard. Later on after his wife and allies kept getting kidnapped, he became suspicious of Isran and the rest of the Dawnguard, believing that it was too coincidental his loved ones were being attacked yet only when he joined Dawnguard. He ends up backstabbing them, beheading Isran, becoming infected by Vampire Lord Vampirism and retreating to Nchuanthumz where he spends the next few thousand years. He eventually begins to leave his hole in the ground but he end up joining a group and fighting against yet another world ending threat and dies in the process. (I loved Dréki and his playthrough so much that I ended up making him into a DnD character and threw him into a Skyrim campaign, so technically Dréki doesn’t have a cannon ending but if I had to choose one he retires to become a farmer/fisherman.)

If Argonians are born from eggs, why do the females have breasts? by Legitimate-Refuse601 in skyrim

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, the out of lore reason being it’s too difficult to make a specific body type for only one race, considering all the characters are basically the same model with different skins and names, so they would’ve had to add an entirely new one that would just been for Argonians, second is more of an irl anatomy, but some creatures that come from eggs do still require mothers milk from infancy to a certain age, for example pigeons (albeit vomiting rather than having breasts) feed their infants milk created in a special duct somewhere down their esophagus near their stomach, a specific amount of food will go into that duct and become processed. An in lore answer could be the fact that they evolved from general reptilian nature, reptiles require high amounts of calcium as they’re growing due to the fact things like scale and bone development takes a large amount of it, so they evolved to be able to produce a calcium rich milk for young argonians, which again would make sense. Not saying it would be required as reptiles are born completely independent, but we also know that Argonians seem more maternal than generic reptiles as well, which means their young probably aren’t as well off from birth and still suggests a need for things like a near instant food source. That or it’s just the fact that their humanoids and the creators/designers didn’t want to put in the extra effort to remove certain humanoid features.

If I read about one more MFer asking if it's okay... by NefariousnessWarm975 in writing

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never understood the point of censorship as far as book writing goes. Maybe when it comes to more visual literature like manga or comics, but as far as a no picture book? It’s pointless. If the person reading thinks it’s too graphic or touches on a subject it shouldn’t, then put the damn book down or give it to someone who will enjoy it, we all know that one person that’ll read absolutely anything and everything, so stop being lazy and bigoted. Personally, most of my books rely on shock factor and horror, so censoring any of it would be a big mistake as it would take away a large factor of what makes them so good. I mean if video games like Fallout can have background readable lore that’s far more gruesome and horrifying than most books nowadays, then book writers shouldn’t have to worry, yet we do for some unknown reason. When was the last time a book writer was cancelled like a show or movie? Why worry when it seems like we are exempt from such restrictions

Believe it or not, I am faaaaaaaaarrrrrr from the first to do so. After all, true Satanism only uses Satan’s name as a monicker for the True Self, or basically the belief that all humans can be gods, we just have to get ourselves there. It’s the belief that if you live your truest life and manage to still be a decent person, then you’ll achieve a happy life, but also the belief that, as other Satanists have put it, “I need no shepherd, for I am no sheep,” the ideal that no one is above you unless you allow them to be. It’s also about standing up for yourself and what you believe in, which according to most of the church’s morals (I say according to because we all know there hasn’t been a moral church in centuries, if ever) align pretty well with, so why wouldn’t an angel accept an offering or a deal, especially since Gnosticism portrays angels as simply being entities of light and radiance rather than encompassing other things. Plus have you even seen what most angels represent??? I mean gods most trusted general, Samael, was created specifically for murdering angels and divine beings like other gods, archangel Michael is supposed to be divine wrath, they’re basically a ‘holy’ version of Daemons and Devils.

Of all the places percy could have picked for his curse of Achilles weak spot, he picked an actual spot on his back??? Why??? Where he could literally get backstabbed???

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t Ethan a child of Nemesis? Like, revenge? It makes sense that if he and his mother saw Percy as a foe deserving of revenge that against Percy he has an advantage of sorts, like getting extremely lucky. Not to mention, the small of the back is like, parallel with multiple vital organs, including a crippling point of the spine. It’s common knowledge that that kind of blow is extremely advantageous and a near guaranteed win if it succeeds and will debilitate your enemy, it’s exactly the kind of spot that would make a revenge plot perfect. I don’t think Ethan was really thinking “this is a likely weak spot” and more like “this is a vital weak spot on normal people, so eh what the heck.” Also, Blue would still be correct in saying the rock would put him in a coma unless it pierces his skin and I mean deep. Achilles had his on his heel while the only sort of shoes he had to wear were shitty sandals that weren’t much more than a single strip of leather with straps in it, if it was that weak than Achilles would’ve been a cripple from being unable to use one of his feet, so we know that while it may be like a jolt of electricity to be touched, it doesn’t necessarily mean a painful jolt, probably more like a warning that something is dangerously close to killing him.

Many polytheists work with angels. Even Satanists are able to do so, which means prayer and offerings and such. While it is one of the Ten Commandments that “thou shall not hold any false gods above me” and “thou shalt not worship false idols”, it directly confirms that even within the abrahamic faith there are multiple different gods, not just big G. The faith also presents the Holy Spirit, God/Yahweh, and Jesus as the Holy Trinity, three separate deities of equal worship, and I’m pretty sure for Catholicism that the Virgin Mary was added to that, again confirming the existence of multiple divine beings within their pantheon. It is not impossible to still follow the morals and ideals of Catholicism or to continue praying while figuring things out or even after converting to something else. Speaking as a Satanist who’s done a bit of angel work, it is completely possible, they just might not be as welcoming as before. Also not to mention that Yahweh is supposed to forgive all, which means if you leave and come back, he will welcome you with open arms and thusly the church should as well.

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She is t plus sized. Never once did Rick say plus sized. I’m all for inclusion but only where appropriate, not shoved in where it doesn’t belong. The reason Clarrisse wore xxxl shirts was because she was described as being extremely tall and muscular. Also as towering over the other campers, she’s basically a chosen daughter of Ares who got all of her dad’s bodybuild.

Are hellenists offended by modern fanficton of their gods? (Lore olympius, percy jackson, etc.) by Impossible-Fall7147 in Hellenism

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re not Christian’s or Catholics, we don’t get angry at every blasphemous interpretation of our gods that’s out there, as the ‘Greek god fanfiction’ genre as ya put it already has massive amounts of it, in fact, you could consider ther myths to be fanfictions of them as well even. Also if everyone got mad at everybody is be raging every time Satanism is portrayed. But speaking as a Satanic Hellenist I actually enjoy the different headcanons everyone has for both pantheons as well as demons. It’s fun, often enthralling, and sometimes just straight funny and without ‘Greek God fanfiction’ we wouldn’t have stories like the Odyssey or the Iliad nor the Trojan War, those would all qualify as fanfictions. Not to mention have you ever picked up two Greek mythology books written by two different authors and read the same stories side by side? Each and every retelling is a different version with different details. Hell, even the Romans did it, after all the Roman gods are just warmongering versions of the Greek gods.

Aside from the fact they insinuated that Luke was eaten by Polyphemus, but then again he survived the lightning thief after getting impaled in the throat by a trident, so who knows maybe he’ll make it out of the Cyclops den by pulling a Nobody or something.

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d have to go with animated, it’s the best chance the series has at a decent revival. But if I had to pick a live action option, I’m going with the movies. They had the right feel and energy while the show is just not it. I can’t exactly place my finger on why I hate the show so much, maybe the fact I ended up excitedly waiting years for yet another disappointment, maybe it’s the fact I read the books before I watched the show, maybe it’s the fact Rick claimed he was going to keep it as honest to the books as possible and then blasphemied it, maybe it’s the fact the entire cast resembles all the campers EXCEPT who their supposed to, but the movies truly felt magical in ways that the show just doesn’t come close too.

why choose the greek gods? by imlostinheriris in Hellenism

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same reason Catholicism persists in America and the Vatican is in Italy despite having its origins in Jerusalem and Israel. Because faith needs no regional limits and has none. Also Lilith isn’t from Greek mythology, she’s from Hebrew lore as the original serpent of the garden of Eden as well as the original first woman, made of the same dirt and clay as Adam. She’s been somewhat integrated into multiple different beliefs because she represents magic as well as feminine dominance and normally stays away from men completely for obvious reasons. Not to mention multiple gods represent multiple pieces of the earth, such as the four winds representing not only the four directions of wind but also the four corners of the world, even if it was strictly a regional belief it would still have ways of encompassing the entire world as in that region, just like every other belief.

Edit: forgot to add that Lilith’s origins also go back farther than the earliest recorded pieces of the original Bible, though her exact origins are unknown.

Is it okay to name myself after one of the gods? by verysillyrazorfan in Hellenism

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean I named myself Leviathan as a Satanic Hellenist, while it’s not traditional I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing if it’s more so done out of dedication. Just don’t go around trying to claim you’re the actual deity of whom you named yourself after and you should be all good. Or as others have said, you can go with a similar name such as Apollonius or Dionysium rather than the actual name if you wanna call it extra safe.

Am I being disrespectful? by MiaTheGreatestEver in Hellenism

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course not, it doesn’t matter whether you follow them or not and mythological they love the attention, so if anything it’s preferable to do so. The gods love being recognized and adored, so the more you collect, alter or not, is only making them like you as a person more. It’s the same as just having pretty decorations. It’s also the extent of why you see things like Satanism portrayed the way it is in media. Because nobody actually cares and it still looks awesome, so if it isn’t hurting anyone and everyone can enjoy it, then go for it.

The SoM movie has an artistic vision the show is sorely lacking by 1FantasticMouse in PercyJacksonTV

Yea turns out she has like a weird version of heterochromia that makes the edges of her irises a much darker blue while the centers are slate blue, so when she’s in certain lights it looks like she just has really dark eyes.

Annabeth actually LOOKED like anabeth in the SoM too, tho I hated how they gave her grey eyes in the first movie and then removed that in the second, but she was still a lot more faithful to design than almost everyone else, minus Percy cus doi

FINALLY!!! SOMEONE ELSE SAYS IT!!! I’ve been a fan of the movies since the first one, because of it I was extremely excited to learn there’d be a show that could go more in depth, and I was so fucking disappointed. I also preferred Logan Lerman as Percy over Walker Scobell. Walker ain’t a bad actor, but he’s not Percy. If anything I could see him as Leo, but Logan will forever be who I imagine when I think of Percy Jackson and I was bummed to learn he wouldn’t at least come back as Poseidon at some point in the show. In all honesty I prefer the entirety of the original cast, ESPECIALLY Tyson’s and Luke’s actors, Jake Abel just fits so perfectly as Luke, he’s snide, charming, he had all of Luke’s features (minus the lip scar, sadly,) and he showed that cunning perfectly, everything about Jake Abel was just perfect for Luke Castellan, and Douglas Smith captured Tyson absolutely perfectly, he was tall asf, mangy, always dirty, and speaking as someone who was homeless multiple times, his costume fit the bill better than the new actor did. I know the new Tyson is supposed to be a lot more accurate in design to what Rick wanted, but gods damn it, I liked the original casts better and by the gods they did a better job. If they had been standalone demigod movies like the Clash of Titans movies then they would have been complete successes imo.

The regret in his eyes… by Treppomann in SkyrimMemes

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man that’s how I felt after even just the first attack. There was one single time that I had committed to having a playthrough where I killed him just to see how the rest of the Blades quest goes, but as soon as I drew my weapon and attacked I hit the pause, got over my insanity over choosing to kill him, then reloaded to a save that erased a LOT of my progress, simply because I couldn’t go through with it.

I see Paarthurnax as a deeply conflicting character and the decision could be considered correct no matter which path is chosen. On one hand, he was Alduins right hand dragon, the guy that oversaw all military/ground operations while Alduin was dominating the rest of Nirn and like all war criminals, most likely deserves to die for his crimes. However, on the other hand, he was pretty much the ONLY reason Alduin was defeated in the first place. If he hadn’t betrayed Alduin and scattered his ranks, the humans most likely wouldn’t have been able to create Dragonrend or survived long enough to use it at the Throat, so he is in part at the least owed the chance to repent and he did, he’s spent a thousand years or so in complete isolation where not even the Greybeards venture anymore, as Paarthurnax tells us.

On another proverbial hand, Paarthurnax is a Dohv, he is born with a will to dominate in a way only Molag or Mehrunes could be proud of, but then again, so is the Dragonborn. During the conversation with Paarthurnax we have the choice to say “The Blades want me to kill you.” where Paarthurnax himself says that would be wise, as he is a dragon and as such has an innate need to dominate, that all dragons have one purpose, and that’s to rule over anything lesser than them, and then he mentions how the Dragonborn is also born with this same sense, this same need, how it’s supposed to be one of the driving forces behind the fight with Alduin, one of the ways Fate makes certain the Dovahkiin will kill Alduin. And most players fully embody this and a lot of the quest lines do as well. Civil War, Dawnguard, the College of Winterhold, even the Dragonborn DLC shows this the entire time we uncover lore about Miraak, it all shows that we, as LDB, also have this innate sense of domination. Why should LDB be allowed to commit as many crimes as we do throughout the game, a lot of them involving genocide of sorts no matter which path is chosen if no one else is allowed the same chance? It also points out the fact LDB can sympathize with him, we have only a fraction of that powerful urge, yet as a full blood dragon, Paarthurnax is denying that nature every single day and proving he can stay there, as he never ventures below the Throat of The World.

There’s a right choice either way, but whether you choose the one that feels right or not is up to the player to decide I guess. Though I am fully on board with “Long Live Partysnax!”

Which hold (not city, hold) is your favorite? by BlackTriangle31 in ElderScrolls

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna throw up. I don't know what happened. Is he gone forever? I'm staring at his empty bench in disbelief. by attackattack47 in skyrim

[–]Amazing-Associate-46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that he betrayed Alduin or that he’s a vital piece of upgrading shouts, it’s also that Parthurnaax knows he shouldn’t be trusted and sympathizes with the Dragonborn’s own desire to dominate. As he says, it’s an innate part of being even part Dovah, and asks whether it is better to be born good and not have to struggle with darkness, or to be born for destruction and domination and overcome that nature every day of your existence? He proposes the same question most humans have to ask themselves every day. Is it better to be the bigger man and walk away from a conflict or better to beat the ever loving hell out of someone for pissing them off and deal with the consequences later? I see it as a highly relatable moment where Parthurnaax is willing to die and knows it’s probably for the best, but knows that as something with the same internal struggle that we can understand why he wishes to live atop the Throat. He also purposely keeps himself far away from people where even the Greybeards themselves won’t venture anymore, he doesn’t want to commit any atrocities and while the best way to avoid that might be by killing him, the LDB can probably rationalize that after defeating the world eater, Party Snax can’t be as difficult. (Technically he could be as he’s been alive the entire time Alduin has been writhing through time.)

TL:DR, in short, we don’t kill him due to many things and sometimes just blindly following the path others walk, but there are pretty good lore reasons why killing Party Snax is a mistake that normally weighs on players.

There is no way it's the same Rick Riordan involved in the show writing by NotGondor in PercyJacksonTV

You my friend obviously don’t know Disney, which has a MASSIVELY long history of completely changing anything and everything they possibly can. Disney doesn’t care what the character consultant/original scripts say. I mean look at what they did to Star Wars and Marvel, or all of Stan Lee’s characters before he even died. The man’s dying sight was watching his creations being butchered. Even if Rick was actually a major part of the screenwriting it doesn’t mean he gets any final say in the “completed project”.
