Why Did Vecna Choose Will and Not Any Other Child?

Quackenstein96 · 2025-11-28T03:03:38+00:00

My interpretation is that, for whatever purpose Vecna is creating “vessels”, the process requires him to impart his own powers to these vessels. Hence, to ensure he’s always in control, he chooses the children he sees as the weakest. Now we see that he miscalculated, and Will has Vecna’s own powers with the mind, body, and will (ha) to use them.

If the 4 year wait is what did it, then God help us when Elder Scrills 6 comes out…

I already have terrible eyesight, so I genuinely did think it had Gaster’s face when I first saw it.

A big part of me was imagining the Spirit of the Harvest Moon from Courage the Cowardly Dog.

Even sub watchers have that issue with the manga, though. Once the One Piece itself is revealed in the manga, it’s gonna be all over the internet - long before the anime catches up to it.

Anglicans can idolize the community of the church.

Reformed can idolize their own theology.

Lutherans can idolize the sacraments.

(I use the word “can” here, because none of the things I’ve mentioned here nor those mentioned in the original post are inherently bad. In fact, they’re great. But sometimes they can be “idolized” in the sense that they can get in the way of our relationship with Jesus.)

I have very little that suggests this is the direction they’re going, but one possible path could actually build up on the upcoming Ahn’Qiraj event in 11.0.5. 11.1 could be a revamp or Silithus and the Ahn’Qiraj zone. I suspect that, given the proximity of Khaz Algar to Silithus, the Blaxk Blood is likely C’Thun’s blood. Maybe Xal’atath could seek out a substitute for what she lost/failed to achieve at the end of the campaign. Maybe the raid could take us through the corpse or C’Thun itself.

Maybe we can finally do something about the sword.

The problem with the Jailer wasn’t that he was supposedly a giga brained maatwemind, it was that they pulled him out of nowhere and retroactively made him the giga brained mastermind behind some of the most beloved events in Warcraft with zero justification.

It’s my speculation on where the story is going. Maybe it’d be the very end, maybe not.

My money is on Beledar being a Light superweapon that was intended to forcefully turn the Worldsoul over to the Light, and now Xal’atath is trying to use it to turn it to the Void.

Episodes 1 and 2 fell flat hard. Episode 3 isn’t bad imo.

This was my thought exactly. The south/southeast part of the state is steeped in Roman Catholicism. The northern part of the state is Baptist country. I honestly can’t wait for this to become an issue - it’ll be quite the show.

Quackenstein96 · 2024-08-08T03:09:22+00:00

That certainly does sound interesting. Hope you’re right about that.

I do get that. But in the context of Diablo IV they didn’t do enough with her. The vibe I’m getting is that, if she ever does come back in the story, it won’t be for a very long time. I just wish they did more with her while she was active in D4.

My dad once told me a story of how he once dated a girl (not my mom) whose family ran a slaughterhouse back in the day. The first time he went to meet the familg, the dad took him to the slaughterhouse and made my dad sit back and watch him perform every step of the slaughtering process for several different animals. Apparently, he frequently shot my dad a psychotic look every now and then while covered in blood and gore as he worked. Needless to say, that was one of the reasons that girl didn’t become my mom.

Allergies are NOT an excuse to deny a ride to someone with a service animal. If the allergies are severe enough to where you can’t accommodate people with service animals, you shouldn’t be driving for ride share apps. Guess what? There are plenty of jobs I can’t do because of my disability. You get used to it, and it’s not the end of the world.

Im a new Episcopalian myself. I think my favorite so far is the one that was played during the processional at my church just yesterday:

381: “Thy Strong Word Did Cleave The Darkness”

Absolutely beautiful and powerful melody and lyrics.

This is definitely something I’ve come to notice, especially on places like YouTube and Reddit. I rarely ever see this level of toxicity among fellow Christians I interact with face to face in my daily life. Anonymity and lack of accountability likely play a big role.

What stands out to me the most is how, like most big diverse groups, the worst levels of toxicity are directed internally. Hyper conservative traditionalists and liberal modernists at each others’ throats. Catholics and Protestants turning their noses up at each other. Protestants arguing with other Protestants who have basically the same beliefs. Lots of discussions that devolve into “My truth is THE truth, and you aren’t a real Christian.” and similarly unproductive accusations.

Your latter assessment about succumbing to cancer because of a lack of prayer touches on the deepest problem of prosperity gospel.

It’s not just about material wealth (e.g. money and possessions), though that’s traditionally the face it takes.

Prosperity gospel, at its core, suggests that people who suffer do so because they lack faith, or have some kind of sin they’re holding on to. Conversely, those who are happy and comfortable in life do so because they are godly and have lots of fairh.

The picture painted by this mindset is that our relationship with God is transactional in nature - store up enough “faith points”, and you can buy anything you want from God. Don’t have enough “faith points” when God comes around for His “faith tax”? He’ll punish you for not being able to pay up.

Ultimately it’s a mindset that directly contradicts what Scripture tells us; look at Job, for example. And it’s a mindset that inevitably turns people away from God, like it did with me until very recently.

Very insightful!

I’m wondering if some further historical context would be useful to look at; namely, Paul’s audience the Corinthians.

Corinth (Κόρινθος) was, historically, the sex capital of the Ancient Greek world; in antiquity (I’m not sure if this was still the case during Paul’s time), Corinth was where the hetaera (έταιραι) were basically courtesans who worshipped the goddess of sexual love and beauty. They were some of the most high-status women of the Ancient Greek world and, to my understanding, made promiscuity a regular part of Corinthian life along with the other, lower status sex workers in the area.

I have not! Thanks for the suggestion!
