there is no God without love for ALL. we were created with God's love embedded within us. we were crafted by the hands of someone so powerful and wondrous and amazing, beyond comprehension; a light that shines across all of existence, that created us to have something to give that overwhelming abundance of love to; God is the social worker the advocate the fighter the mutual aid network the bail fund. God is LOVE. why would God frown on any variety of love---loving someone else, loving the self enough to become? in what universe does hatred for His own creation EVER enter God's mind????? why go through all the determination of letting humanity form and develop if you only cared about very specific people

"I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy," that's because you have a bitch-ass easily felled enemy. I wish every bad wish on my worse enemy, it barely works. He's barely slowed down. He still walking, I can see him in the distance.

being a team sports fan really is like oh what if you stanned the ship of theseus

I have a lot of 'ungirly' traits but I refuse the notion that that means I'm not a girl. I will simply push on the edges of what's girly behaviour until it includes me. so it's normal for girls to fight eachother and eat large amounts of meat actually. I've decided

I've read a few recently published books, and there's this recurring pattern where if anyone does anything bad and interesting, they have to later talk about it in a way that makes it clear that it was a misunderstanding/ justified/ not their fault, so they're still a good person. and if they have a disagreement with another character, they have to therapy talk it out, regardless of their background. it doesn't matter if this is a street urchin with three teeth who just stabbed and kidnapped someone, you will get eloquent sterile therapy speak that will smooth out any possible emotional tension. and everyone asks for permission before they kiss, and waits for a clear enthusiastic yes. again, doesn't matter the character's background or situation, they will ask "can I please kiss you," because if they didn't, that could get all yucky and uncertain, couldn't it? and if a character is from a rich family, they will hate being in a rich family, and hate wealth signifiers, and actually be all for class equality. and everyone is casually queer, without thought being put into how that would mesh with the society that is being described. like yes, this is violent class-based system obsessed with inheritance, but no, it's not actually a problem that the child they've coldly groomed to take on the family mantle is unwilling to beget an heir because of gay. the parents might be terrible, cruel and fascistic, but they're not homophobic! I don't know, it just seems like EVERYTHING that could actually be messy gets sanded and sanded until it's smooth as a shark, but the Fun Violence is allowed to stay, because bloodshed doesn't actually bother anyone or have any consequence apart from your rogue character shrugging and going oops, was that me? the rogue is still a good person though. if you think they're not, just wait for the two solid pages of introspection. and yes they started the book by slitting two throats, but that was fine. they will ask permission before hugging you.
