I'm still so Tired but it's getting brighter

So, what you're saying is that God is an evil dictator and hell is the concentration camp where he tortures his undesirables? What you're saying is that if you imagine the evilest dictator that can possibly exist, God is eviler?

Well, history has shown over and over again that when you try to appease an evil dictator by obeying their every command in hopes that they'll spare you, it only emboldens them and you suffer along with the rest of the undesirables. If an evil dictator sees you as lesser than them, they'll still see you as lesser no matter how much you try to win their approval and no matter how much you do their dirty work for them.

Love, grief, and magic in the mundane

Fiona is married so it's time to reunite with her parents. But instead of marrying a prince, she's married to an ogre. Not just that, but she's also an ogre. (Yes everyone knew she would sometimes be an ogre but that was when she was a child, she didn't know she would be an ogre for the rest of her life, and besides once she met the right prince she would stop being an ogre. She was supposed to stop being an ogre.)

But okay they're both ogres. We can still ask about when they'll have children because even if they're ogres they can still have kids, right? That's what married princes and princesses do so naturally that's what everyone does. Even if ogres might not be great parents (I've heard that ogres eat their young, is that something you people do?) it's still something that should be discussed.

And okay you can stay in Fiona's childhood bedroom filled with all the reminders that hey, everyone thought she was just a princess and princesses marry princes. Her toys left out from the last time she played with them. The prince slays the ogre. The princess offers a token of gratitude for slaying the ogre. Fiona wrote Mrs. Fiona Charming a million times in her diary because what else was she supposed to grow up to be?

And Harold you have to fix this, your country can't be ruled by ogres. You were unfit to rule when you were a frog but I changed you, I made you better, I made you a prince. You know how this works. Think of your daughter's safety.
