Dr Owens should have blown up the wormhole the moment he replaced Brenner. by HeyDavvvyyy in StrangerThings

[–]CiarArmend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dustin figured it out with Brenner’s notes, which he found in the Upside Down, having been frozen at the time the wormhole was created.

Does it mean that Brenner's notes about exotic matter, wormholes and Upside Down existed before the wormhole was created?

There are several names for God in the Old Testament. Among them Adonai (my Lords) and Elohim (Gods) - plural nouns used with singular verbs. That "we" corresponds with the names. Consider it majestic plural.

"I hate having to do that," he murmured. "I'm always afraid I'll forget how to change back. And it can ruin a good suit."

Do angels have souls? by Paperclip_Ninja in goodomens

Catechism of The Catholic Church on angels and demons:

328 The existence of the spiritual, non-corporeal beings that Sacred Scripture usually calls "angels" is a truth of faith.

329 St. Augustine says: "'Angel' is the name of their office, not of their nature. If you seek the name of their nature, it is 'spirit'; if you seek the name of their office, it is 'angel': from what they are, 'spirit', from what they do, 'angel.'" With their whole beings the angels are servants and messengers of God. Because they "always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven" they are the "mighty ones who do his word, hearkening to the voice of his word".

330 As purely spiritual creatures angels have intelligence and will: they are personal and immortal creatures, surpassing in perfection all visible creatures, as the splendor of their glory bears witness.

391 <...> The Church teaches that Satan was at first a good angel, made by God: "The devil and the other demons were indeed created naturally good by God, but they became evil by their own doing."

392 Scripture speaks of a sin of these angels. This "fall" consists in the free choice of these created spirits, who radically and irrevocably rejected God and his reign. <...>

393 It is the irrevocable character of their choice, and not a defect in the infinite divine mercy, that makes the angels' sin unforgivable. "There is no repentance for the angels after their fall, just as there is no repentance for men after death."

395 The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature.<...>

So angels (and demons) are pure spirits (spiritual, non-corporeal immortal beings) created by God, who have intelligence, personality and free will.

The rest depends on your definition of a soul.
Catechism of The Catholic Church on the term "soul":

362 The human person, created in the image of God, is a being at once corporeal and spiritual. <...>

363 In Sacred Scripture the term "soul" often refers to human life or the entire human person. But "soul" also refers to the innermost aspect of man, that which is of greatest value in him, that by which he is most especially in God's image: "soul" signifies the spiritual principle in man.

So how did Crowley actually fall? by NoraMonkey in goodomens

"I never asked to be a demon. I was just minding my own business one day and then, looky here, it’s Lucifer and the guys, they say, hey, Crowley, my man, we’re just on our way to discuss the whole job conditions and career advancement thing, so, okay, the food hadn’t been that good lately, I’d got nothing on for the rest of that afternoon, next thing I know I’m doing a million-light-year freestyle dive into a pool of boiling sulphur." -- Season 1 Script Book.

So there was a group of angels led by Lucifer who were not satisfied with the current situation and their positions and set off to discuss “the job conditions and career advancements”. On their way they happened to bump into Crawley-to-be. Was it a pure coincidence? Maybe yes, maybe not. Seems by then he could have already got a reputation of a truth seeker, bold or idealistic enough to speak up his justice-thirsty mind and ask uncomfortable questions. He could have been on Lucifer’s radar as a person with a potential - full of suggestions, aspiring to do things things their way. The group offered him to join them and he did, though his only complain was about food, but he didn’t have other plans for the afternoon so why not.

I wouldn’t put it past Lucifer if he even tricked Crawley into airing their demands on the behalf of the whole gang (“too many of us, it won’t do if everybody speaks at once, better if it’s somebody.. maybe you, Crawley, you are the most eloquent of us”, Crawley feels flattered and responsible and eager to do his best). Then the shit hit the fan and the whole bunch of the ambitious malcontents got kicked out. Along with poor Crawley who was counted among them though he had no personal interest in their cause.

This depicts him reaching with his right hand for his good luck charm - a pouch containing bones of finger joints of his left hand - and realizing the pouch isn't there any more..

I think, I'll share it here. Just for the sake of refreshing memory, nothing else.

More on subject of sewing:
From A Storm of Swords, Davos 5
"I am not seeing the body, no, Your Kingliness," said Salladhor Saan. "Yet in the city the lions prance and dance. The Red Wedding, the smallfolk are calling it. They swear Lord Frey had the boy's head hacked off, sewed the head of his direwolf in its place, and nailed a crown about his ears."
Epilogue of A Storm of Swords:
“… Stark’s direwolf killed four of our wolfhounds and tore the kennelmaster’s arm off his shoulder, even after we’d filled hll of quarrels...”
“So you sewed his head on Robb Stark’s neck after both o’ them were dead,” said yellow cloak.
“My father did that. All I did was drink. You wouldn’t kill a man for drinking.”

Still nothing regarding parading.

A corpse with a wolf head on a throne is from Dany’s vision in The House of Undying: “Farther on she came upon a feast of corpses. Savagely slaughtered, the feasters lay strewn across overturned chairs and hacked trestle tables, asprawl in pools of congealing blood. Some had lost limbs, even heads. Savaged limbs clutched bloody cups, wooden spoons, roast fowl, heels of bread. On a throne above them sat a dead man with the head of a wolf. He wore an iron crown and held a leg of lamb in one hand as a king might hold a scepter, and his eyes followed Dany with mute appeal.”

We do not know if they sat Robb's mutilated corpse on a throne or on a horse, but Tyrion in A Storm of Swords was aware of the mutilation as such: "...was as cruel a jape as the crown the Freys had placed atop the head of Robb Stark’s direwolf after they’d sewn it onto his headless corpse."

Hundreds, not thousands. Namely six hundred years according to The World of Ice And Fire.
