January 10th mcyt recap

the Ice War on Europa...

It's kinda funny that Xivu is the only one to fully keep to their nature.

Savathûn in her love for her family has become raw and honest in quest to claim the echo of navigation.

Oryx has failed to understand the truth of the godwave of fundament, and this failed to keep to his nature.

But Xivu arath,childish Xivu, Sentimental Xivu, heretical Xivu, dethroned Xivu, foolish Xivu, has kept to her nature.

She still wages war, and more than that she loves so much, she loves her brother so much she's willing to betray the sword logic, even if she's not willing to admit it, to get him back

And for the hive love is war.

So Xivu's nature is war and love In equal measure.

And she's keeping to it, no matter what

My mom let me get birds despite being Terrified of birds

She proceeded to get rid of half of her kitchenware and do weeks of research on PTFE and PTFO chemicals (the chemicals in Teflon)

charlie: even though my arch nemesis badboyhalo is on that team, so is my bitch wife. so that's okay. he gets to see another day.

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

-last updated 11/3/24-

Another impromptu post but I do think it’s worth addressing here as well.

These kinds of comments, and particularly those demanding others to read Journey to the West, are very common in this discourse. However there is a massive glaring issue if your only basis of understanding Nezha is solely from Journey to the West.

Wu Cheng’en had, intentionally or not, severely diminished the strength of Nezha and seems to lack any real understanding of Nezha to begin with. I must also say Nezha’s age is never explicitly mentioned once in the book aside from when Sun Wukong was mocking him in their first encounter if you choose to see that as confirmation. It’s additionally strange to posture the book, written very late in the scope of how long Nezha has existed, as the only Acceptable Canon. There are other problems with this narrative that must be addressed too.

Nezha, and by extension the whole of the Daoist pantheon, does not and has never existed within a vacuum. Deities and religious figures are not static but instead fluid, subject to many changes through history, and it is unreasonable to expect any deity to adhere closely to a singular interpretation of them. Such as choosing Nezha in Journey to the West as the only acceptable form.

In doing so you are actively ignoring centuries of literature and art history in the thousands of years these deities have existed and have been worshipped in favor of pushing your own misinformed narrative.

Can you imagine if someone was going around demanding that how the Greco-Roman gods appear in Homer’s “Iliad” was the only true acceptable canon of them? It sounds silly doesn’t it. So why is it acceptable to push this mentality onto Chinese deities?

It’s extremely tiring to witness so many people treat deities as if they are common fiction characters, and I hope I do not need to make another longer form post addressing this mentality in the near future.
