I am so so obsessed with Vox's voice and I need to rant about it !!!!

Someone said he sounds like "just a guy" but that's exactly it, isn't it? Christian, the VA, perfectly captures that very corporate, "tech guy", "TV ad person" vibe - the tone of his voice & stringing random buzzwords and efortlessly manipulating his viewers,,, it screams corporation and consumerism to me, which is honestly perfect for a TV demon that focuses on media and technology.

But at the same time you can still hear that slight (or not so slight, when he deals with Alastor) desperation underneath as Vox gets easily frustrated!! There's something so fun about the usually "perfect corporate tech guy" losing his composure and getting emotional about various things, including Alastor. love it love it love it, I could watch his scenes forever, hope we get many many more !!!!!

#Vox #hazbin hotel #he's such a mess i love him so much its so funny #like you know he tries so hard and has that persona perfected he clearly is still very powerful and controls random people easily #but the way he fumbles when someone as secure and confident and unbothered as Alastor - real actual threat - comes along is just perfect #Christian did such a great job!!! #TURN THE TV OOOONNNNN #please i could speak about vox forever someone help me

Genuinely confused as to how so much of the fandom watched the first 2 CR campaigns and Calamity and yet still ended up in a “Ludinus is right let’s kill all the gods” position. Like it’s baffling to me how much content/context people have just decided to completely forget? We had 2 full campaigns of very positive interactions with the gods and the moment there’s some hypothetical and interesting musing and speculation about their roles in the world from a more disconnected place we’re just throwing that out the window?*

Tbh the number of people who watched episode 4 of Calamity and still saw Asmodeus as sympathetic or having a legitimate point is unsettling to me, but while that’s a related issue it’s not quite the same conversation.

But like legitimately how did we so quickly make a hard turn from “The Stormlord teaches his barbarians to use the power of friendship, he’s a funny kindergarten teacher” memes to…this.

*(This is not, btw a comment on the characters having philosophical debates in-world because I think those are interesting and on-theme for the campaign and are also nearly always concluding with “our personal relationship to individual gods and feelings about them are irrelevant actually, the people trying to destroy them are doing wider harm and are in the wrong and must be stopped.” I’m actually loving the engagement with this by the characters in-universe but the fandom is exhausting me.)

#people stop engaging with all fantasy religion like it’s the same as bigoted evangelical American Christianity challenge #oh also the ‘the gods are colonial invaders’ take is also super weird to me because that’s applying recent human history to what is #basically standard like Greek or Roman creation myth? #like a ton of European pagan lore has a ‘the gods we worship came from afar and tamed the wilds of nature’ narrative #it is a metaphor #cr discourse #legit saw someone this morning confidently posting ‘well Ludinus just is right though!’ and I wanted to close down the whole internet #critical role

In 2023, I am in pursuit of becoming a virtuous woman. A woman that exhibits stillness in the presence of unsteady waters. A woman that heeds the call of a higher power, rather than her own ego. A woman that prays for the things she cannot yet understand. A woman that rests assured that better days are coming. A woman that exudes strength and dignity. The woman I am becoming requires discipline, humility, and complete surrender to divine wisdom. Sometimes I may fall short, but my commitment to what is right and what is pure will outweigh any former commitment to comfort and complacency. May my angels walk with me every step of the way and keep me on the right path.

“Do not tire yourselves looking for the truth outside of Christ. There is no truth outside of Christ. Christ is the truth, and when you know Christ you will know the truth and become free, and Christ wants you to be free. Do not be afraid: Be strong and be sure and confident that Christ has defeated the world.”

~St. Charbel

It's my goal in life to always say the name of random, increasingly weirder entities instead of "God"

"By Odin!"

"Oh StarClan..."

"Thank the Eye!"

#can't wait to annoy the christians #i just need to build up the confidence to actually do it #good fun being an omnist #who also believes even fictional entities are real in some way #because what does “real” mean anyways #also outing myself as a warrior cats kid #i'm proud of it okay #i need to reread the whole series #pagan #norse mythology #witchblr #odin #warrior cats #erin hunter warriors #tma #tma the eye

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

Nobody understands Daniel Ricciardo Like Red Bull do

#the way it took only one race for daniel to show he was never the problem at mclaren #nobody understands daniel like redbull do #its such a simple statement but soooo - #when you think about christian horner saying this is not the daniel we knew. the drives he had with us #like he couldnt understand who that Daniel was. couldn't understand how he could end up where he was with mclaren #i just cant imagine how draining those two years at mclaren was for him having to change the basic core of himself as a driver and #having to go against his won instincts and the first race back? AT giving him that trust and confidence in himself by listening to him #and for the people constantly saying why redbull is giving a second chance to a driver who's apparently finished - #he doesnt have to prove himself to them. they know what he can do. they know how to get that performance out of him #daniel ricciardo

do you think tamsyn is intentionally drawing a connection between the Buddhist eightfold path and the eightfold word?

the eightfold path is supposed to lead to liberation from the cycle of rebirth (I’m drawing a parallel to lyctoral immortality) and the last element is right samadhi which is often described as “meditative absorption or union” (a parallel to the consumption of the cavalier and absorption of the soul)

idk just food for thought i’ve been mulling over

I've been pondering this for a while myself. I've never heard the word "eightfold" used in any other context. Like, it could very much be a coincidence because #-fold is a Portentous Word Form, and eight Houses contributed to the theorum, but let's assume for now there is a connection.

I would say it's less of a parallel and more of a reflection. This framing of the Eightfold Word would make it kind of a warped mirror of the Eightfold Path.

Following the Eightfold Path delivers you from samsara, right? The ultimate purpose is to break the cycle of reincarnation that binds a person to the worlds of mundane suffering. That last element, right samadhi, it's about the illusion of existence being transcended in meditation to see the true nature of being. The Path leads to understanding of the self as transient—an illusion created by a much larger whole. Or something like that. I'm not a priest or bodhisattva, or even a scholar dedicated to understanding these things.

Speaking the Eightfold Word is entirely the opposite. The lyctors have subsumed the other into the self, making the self the center of their being. They haven't been freed from the cycle so much as they've jammed the wheel, leaving themselves trapped in the suffering of their existence for, theoretically, eternity.

I don't know if it's an intentional reference or not, but I do enjoy considering the implications of lyctorhood from that perspective. John and the lyctors have become so consumed by their obsession with the self and ensuring its continuance, it's broken all the bonds that would make them part of a larger whole in this life and left them each alone together in their own private hells. Speaking the Eightfold Word means that they'll never reach the other shore.

#tl note: 'transcendent wisdom' in sanskrit is prajnaparamita - literally translated as the wisdom of the other shore #prajnaparamita is more relevant to the bodhisattva path than the eightfold path #but I do think it's interesting that it's a heresy unto Jod to believe in another shore beyond the River #I'm not confident that any of this was intentional in the text because I know christian teachings conceptualise the soul differently #as being immutable and eternal in a way buddhism does not which (might?) justify the obsession with continuance #but the nature of the soul in TLT seems to be somewhere between those understandings #and closer to a Buddhist or Confucian understanding of the soul as something that can be divided destroyed or changed #that could totally be a bias in my reading #but the way communal souls like RBs and Alecto work and that John saw Alecto through contact with Cristabel's soul has me thinking twice #the locked tomb #tlt meta #the eightfold word

Im doing so good at just staying over here with my dislike of Hazb1n Hotel but nearly every single thing I learn about it justifies my haterdom to myself

#i just found out Lilith is a major character and I'm CONFIDENT the writer just took the name out of Jewish apocrypha and made up new lore #using Jewish mythological figures in a setting clearly based on christian theology isnt a new thing but its still obnoxious #when most of the characters are OCs with no mythological basis it makes it feel extra weird to take a real name and get it so incorrectly #*i* was mistaken about jewish demonology and Lilith in particular for most of my life because of similar ways she's written by Christians #sorry i just dont trust the Christian south park fan to handle jewish mythology respectfully #hell literally doesnt exist in jewish theology in the way the show portrays it #so to make Jewish figure who is literally not a part of Christian works the QUEEN OF HELL #i know ive been going in circles but that just feels sooooooooo weird
