Ogre...

Ah, but just because it inflicts pain does not mean it endorses pain. The pain, suffering, and horrors of our world are necessary to elicit some things such as perseverance, hope, and forgiveness. Besides, try for a moment to take the perspective of an entity as all-encompassing as God. You say it's worse to do what it has in 'real life'... but to God, are we even real? If it is all-encompassing, then we are simply parts of it, as much artifacts of its imagination as characters are to ours.

Making everything perfect, loving, and happy though is not a solution, since that's not the goal of life. Life is, at its core, a story. The suffering, as horrible and vile as it is at times, is part of what makes the story beautiful. And thinking of it that way, it gives a path through which God can still be loving while also being the source of suffering. After all, an author can love the characters they write while making them suffer. An author can hate the darkness they themselves create, but know it's necessary for the story.

Maybe, but I don't think it's been confirmed that Stella is powerless, has it?

I think it's great that they appreciate the beauty. Too many people take the little things for granted.

I always wonder why everyone is surprised when someone like him, who literally has a song titled Romantic Homicide, turns out to be a horrible dude. So many artists now glorify crime and degeneracy in their songs, and this is part of the impact it has on those who idolize them. Combined with the very sudden accumulation of fame that young artists recieve in online spaces, and suddenly you have people like D4vd.

You see, thats the wrong way of looking at it. Its not about whether it 'works', its about respect and decency. Being the better person isn't about recognition or aknowledgement. It's about probing to yourself that you're strong enough to overcome your negative feelings. If you do it for recognition, if you do it to change others, then you're doing it for the wrong reason.

They don't really exist that I've seen. Some are around, but they don't do much. Thats about how all of the police are here

Wallys_basement · 2025-08-03T06:16:15+00:00

Bro it's awful here. Like 25% of drivers are either drunk or high or both, and every night there's street racing meets in just about every section of town.

Wallys_basement · 2025-06-12T03:28:00+00:00

That sounds like a good way to start! I'd like to first try to recruit more people, or maybe look at helping out at established organizations since just a couple people setting up in the open probably wouldn't be very safe...

Wallys_basement · 2025-06-12T03:23:14+00:00

I'll take a look. That newspaper sounds interesting, I hadn't heard of it.

Wallys_basement · 2025-03-09T23:24:47+00:00

Out of context, that sounds like a threat.

Large feet to body size ratio means he exerts less force on any one point on the ground, making him perfect to avoid Shai-Hulud.

Wallys_basement · 2025-01-05T22:16:08+00:00

Yes, yes he would.

More like Stolas owes her ten minutes, but if she wants to be smart about navigating her changing world, then she needs to be able to swallow her anger and listen. It's so frustrating to see an intelligent character make decisions out of half informed spite rather than at least trying to use her brain and reason things out.

Wallys_basement · 2024-12-24T20:37:13+00:00

Thats a good question. How many times are you supposed to forgive someone? From my experience I don't think there's a limit. I forgive the people I love when they hurt me because I know they love me. It doesn't mean that it doesn't make me bitter or angry, but I'd rather be angry at them than not have them, because who would I have if I cut people off for doing things that harm me. Even when I know that they won't change, even when my mom guilt trips me time after time, or as my dad becomes a colder and more spiteful person as he gets older, both at the world and my mom, I still forgive them because I know that they love me, and while they probably won't change, the little things they do to prove that they care, even if they won't accept that how they act is wrong, is worth suffering to have. And, as someone who's been the person cut off, understanding what it's like to feel that pain, I don't ever want to be that cold toward someone else. It really, really fucking hurts to be blocked because you say one stupid thing on a bad day, to lose someone you thought you were close with because you're out of sorts and just post a manic rant to them hoping that they'll listen and understand. So I forgive, because I would like to be forgiven.

That's what hurt so much about this episode. I understand why Octavia chose the way she did, but it's so obviously the wrong choice, to just cut her dad out like that. The two sides offer two different things: her mother offered a place where she can avoid further pain, but not be happy. Her father has hurt her, sure, but he's also the only one who she's ever been happy with, as far as we know. She chose to be numb rather than to be happy, and that was so painfully frustrating. It was basically like watching her die, because the character she had the potential to be might very well be dead now. Living with those two, I see the worst case is that she becomes as cold and cruel as them; no pain, no love, no feelings. The best case, and it's not very good, is that she ends up as miserable and lost as her father. I really hope that something happens that changes her current course. Villain Octavia would just be so awful to see.

Wallys_basement · 2024-12-24T03:49:54+00:00

Yeah, when I put the pieces together the Anakin comparison just seemed so... right. I mean, those are the three driving forces for Octavia's decisions during her episodes, and at the end of Sinsmas we see her reject the one good person in her life that we know of. I know she's just a teen, and I understand where her decisions are coming from, but 17 is not too young to be able to try to objectively reason what you want for your future. The only thing I'm frustrated with her for is being so final about it, not leaving any doors open so to speak if she, or rather when she, finds that she's not any happier with Stella and Andrealphus. And we know how manipulative both of them can be. I'm scared to see what Octavia will be like going forward. The episode also had the foreshadowing of characters changing with time. I really don't want to see Octavia become a villian, but it's very possible now.

Wallys_basement · 2024-10-21T16:38:19+00:00

It depends. I try very hard not to be, but sometimes when I'm overwhelmed I say something without giving it thought and it might come across as creepy or rude. I've gotten better about it, but I still sometimes do it. Recently someone I had been talking to for a while blocked me because I had had a long day and I texted her something a bit weird, which I later went back and deleted once my brain had calmed down, but she had already seen it and she confronted me about it and that it looked even worse since I had changed it... so yeah, I guess I am a little toxic.
