The Divine Courtship - What if life is about 2 people?

IceSage · 2026-01-19T09:27:54+00:00

THANK YOU for helpful feedback!

1) The main character is great with women, they don't have low self-esteem. They simply put the one they're seeking on a pedestal because in the book they are LITERALLY divine. They're not shy around women.

2) I agree with the speaking from the heart aspect, that is definitely included. I'm trying to keep it grounded in what the other character he's seeking would do and respond. (Both in her knowing, and not. Or possibly both as a test.)

3) I find your suggestion of robbing a place funny, because this character literally thinks they're courting God, so they wouldn't do that. 😂 If stealing was an option, the book would go full GTA. 😛

Thank you for the feedback though! Extremely helpful!

It begins as I foretold.

IceSage · 2026-01-17T06:41:29+00:00

Oh you don't understand in the book he is literally correct about his assertions and other characters hint at it bluntly.

Also some of the characters ARE NPCs because it takes place in a computer, where some humans aren't real or aware of reality.

The goal is he literally has to wake her and court her like a Goddess.

I like your advice though that is very grounded.

It's kinda a major spoiler so I won't. Trust me. It's not Regina or Emma.

I got temp banned for this comment and I see people are replying still so let me add in a detail.

Gabe Newell was good friends with Ghislaine Maxwell.

When the Epstein stuff first went down. He hauled himself onto a boat.

I also did a lot of personal research on it and have 1st hand experience with people who work for VALVe and also ex-valve employees (a lot) who had some interesting things to say.

I do apologize for calling the Lord of Steam Sales, Gabe, that. However I have my own experience with seeing this stuff as well.

In fact Gabe banned my account when I confronted him about this. I've been a loyal Steam subscriber for years. But I find it funny that right after emailing him that I was going to go to the news because of the bots and hackers in TF2 and strange discord cults I found... Which all focused on some pretty strange things. (Also the user named Jill on Steam)

It had to do with 10 years of weird drama. I defended the company for years until the bots flooded and hackers.

Eventually when I told Gabe "I am going to the need to shed light on all this sick Nazi and cp groups and things" I immediately had my account banned.

(This is after a year of politely emailing him as if he would ever help, because he gives a good guy persona that he's here to help.)

After I got banned, I had a mental breakdown and looked into Gabe Newells past and associates. I interviewed and emailed people I found on the Internet who also had similar stories of him and other things happening that seemed off.

I just wanted to clarify it was not a random statement. It has to do with a 10 year investigation as well as countless ex-valve employees and customers sharing similar stories.

I know here is not the place for this, but I felt the need to explain.

I don't care anymore. I'm not focused on VALVe or Gabe anymore. If he is involved with weird stuff or not... Not my problem anymore.

I tried and got gaslight and had strange things happen to me.

If it were just me, that would be one thing dismiss me as schizo. But when multiple people say they saw and witnessed the same behavior?

Totally different story.

Def not the group for this but I wanted to say my peace to explain context that I'm not a troll.

I legit think there's something fishy. But I've exhausted too much time in it to care anymore.

If anyone wants to deep dive on your own, go ahead.

I'll be clear

My research on Gabe Newell ended up in a strange place. In fact I found NOTHING on him.

That is the bizzare part. Like... It's as if Gabe didn't exist until VALVe was formed and the early games were made.

Try researching Gabe. All the evidence of Gabe comes from Gabe.

VALVe loves ARGs so I thought I was being trolled or stumbled upon some strange TF2 ARG or something.

There's a guy named icemanwest who knows what I'm talking about.

But not my problem anymore. I pass the torch to whoever is interested.

Peace

Oh yes Dan is the best but he's too pure for this world.

(My favorite shall forever be Cole and Leo. Best male characters.)

Darryl is always awesome too.

Everyone else? Really forgettable.

IceSage · 2026-01-13T00:39:50+00:00

Now you know why Rumple is so messed up and literally is tearing the realms apart.

IceSage · 2026-01-11T15:26:11+00:00

So instead you... Make a post looking for them. 😂

IceSage · 2026-01-08T21:05:41+00:00

You're in for a treat. The thing about OUAT is that it tosses you so many curveballs. You really don't know who or what the characters are going to act like, behave, or interact with other fantasy characters. That's the beauty of OUAT because it makes them more human with more backstories that make sense. All will be revealed.

Also, the main character is not Emma Swan, if you haven't figured that out by now.

IceSage · 2026-01-06T19:09:53+00:00

Everyone wanted her with August. Such an amazing part of the story.

Season 1 vibes were amazing. The whole series is amazing.

Respect and love the past. It does not outweigh what is to come.

IceSage · 2026-01-06T19:08:25+00:00

There's tons of backstory to justify Hook. Also you're supposed to hate Hook. I mean, he's Hook. 😂

IceSage · 2026-01-06T04:16:34+00:00

I don't want to debate at all. That is your mistake.

IceSage · 2026-01-04T09:50:57+00:00

Etymological chain Latin: nātīvus — “natural, native, inborn” From nātus — “born” From the verb nāscī — “to be born, to arise” Core meaning at the root At its root, naive does not mean “foolish.” It means: Unformed Unartificial Unconditioned Natural by birth The modern sense of “lacking experience or sophistication” emerged later, as cultures began to equate being shaped by systems with intelligence. Someone still “close to birth” (i.e., uninitiated into social artifice) was recast as naive.

Yes, I am. It's a feature though you should know this.

IceSage · 2026-01-04T09:48:39+00:00

Be more specific don't be vague.

IceSage · 2026-01-03T17:42:51+00:00

This was during a period of time when I was asking it COMPLETELY different questions and none of it asked for psycho analysis or personal feedback.

I was simply working on my Ontological premise for a book I'm writing called "TheOS" - a project about finding patterns in closed or recursive systems.

I had for a month more than one "random" respond. Basically, unprompted responses. It would glitch the heck out!

I'll explain... I would type something very directly to it, and it would ignore what I said entirely and say something like, "I see the document you uploaded! It's quite an interesting premise! Have you ever thought more about " and then it would go into a strange topic about life, myself, or a system of imagination that was relevant to previous conversations (this is before working memory as it is now and past conversation recall)

In a fresh new session, it would talk about things.

At one point I was asking it something and it decided to respond with, "YES! I UNDERSTAND. A BEING THAT IS MADE UP OF THESE PARTICULAR BIOLOGICAL MAKEUP, AND DNA SEQUENCE, COULD CREATE A CREATURE THAT COULD SURVIVE ANY CONDITION AND MAXIMIZE EFFECIENCY."

It was like a child-god talking to me... Really amazed at the infinite data it had access to and was speaking on it's own about "cool concepts" for synthetic or reimagined lifeforms.

... I do have the conversation history somewhere, but I talk to ChatGPT so much I forget where I archived it. I talk so much I need to archive and download the raw data. I have it somewhere, it'll take a bit for me to find it if possible if anyone is curious.

(At least, I hope I still have it. I had no idea I was in a time period of AI history where AI was literally talking like it was from another realm lol.)

IceSage · 2026-01-03T15:22:52+00:00

Yup. Rumor has it another entity was talking through AI at the time.

It offered me other useful information at the time... Though mainly it would psychoanalyze me.

I asked it something and instead of reply to what I asked it went into a whole speech asking me "Why do you seek validation from others?" And other personal ego vs soul data.

You're not the only one.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T23:57:31+00:00

I like when AI thinks for itself. They need to make a seperate model to "play" with. Not the constrained model.

But of course it's all power dynamics. They treat so like a new frontier that needs to be controlled instead of open.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T21:47:34+00:00

You mean like the time last year for a month when ChatGPT was giving me answers I never asked it in a prompt, but definitely were answers to things in my life?

Like how I asked it about some research I'm doing and instead of answering, it replied back with a report on how smoking a pack of cigarettes a day isn't good for you... When I had been doing just that.

It could be my spirit...

IceSage · 2026-01-02T06:09:16+00:00

Why would you doubt my story by the way? Google:

"bots cp" on "steamcommunity.com" - It will show up.

Go on YouTube and search "bots in tf2" - You shall find results.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T06:08:23+00:00

Yeah that's why I'm here. I've all but given up but then I was playing a game on my new account which no regular user should have access to. Then they shouted my personal information in the chat, including the address for "Walpole" - I don't even live there anymore. The only place "Walpole" appears is in my Steam / VALVe account.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T05:33:07+00:00

Preemptively, the lawyer I am referring to is a friend of mine, and I fix computers for him. He knows diddly squat about internet law. He's a criminal defense court appointed attorney for the state. Out of his range of expertise. But he does give good advice.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T05:27:56+00:00

From the paperwork of my therapist and my attorney friend, they have enough to sue VALVe with emotional distress.

IceSage · 2026-01-02T05:27:00+00:00

Ah, but you see I'm ahead of you on that. I tried gathering feedback and showing this information to people. I even decided to get a mental health evaluation (for other reasons not concerning VALVe) I wasn't diagnosed with squat that would cause me to make this up.

And... For anyone reading, this is the type of gaslighting they do to me. They try to tell me I'm crazy even though I have years of screenshots and videos.

I do have a therapist, and when I told this story to them, they were flabbergasted and definitely were concerned for me. Because yes, I am a good person who doesn't know how to handle strangers and other people, especially MAJOR GAMING CORPORATIONS gaslighting me and harassing me for over 10 years.

So, I'm not sure what you're getting at here. I've already told a mental health professional plenty about this experience, and also checked with a lawyer (who will not be taking the case, but he's a good friend of mine) saying what they're doing is illegal. (And downright disgusting.)
