#Get behind me Satan!

[s-o-a-p-ing]

MATTHEW S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 16

Thursday,, 3/7/24

SCRIPTURE:

Jesus turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a hindrance to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns but human concerns.” ~ Matthew 16:23 

OBSERVATION:

This right after Jesus telling Peter he would be the rock on which His church would be built...

I learned this early on to mean something I should say to folks - good-meaning (like Peter), or otherwise, and often times in jest - but it ended at the exclamation point...

...but lately I've come to ask myself how often is Jesus telling me this?

...that I am a hindrance to Him because I'm not thinking about God's concerns but human - my own - concerns?

APPLICATION:

Think about God's concerns...

PRAYER:

Holy Father God - Forgive my hindering the coming of Your King by focusing on the things of this world - thank You for Your grace and forgiveness, and may I follow behind Jesus in His steps, thinking first about Your concerns in all things... In His Name, and for Your praise and glory and honor...

Yours - in His Name and for His praise...

I hate that I keep getting videos aiming to "teach millennials how to dress cool" (ie like gen z/alpha) like. I'm sorry but if you're thirty and you're genuinely worried about getting the approval of teenagers then that is a thousand times more embarrassing than having a side parting or wearing skinny jeans. we're not The Youth anymore, and that's okay. embrace it. move on. you don't need to try and desperately emulate them. just style yourself how you like.

Listen. Listen. Hear me out ok.

I LOVEEE Thirteen, Mephisto and Raphael ok, I would die to date any of them.

But the thought of them becoming dateable, as much as I want to date them… not so much, honestly… gives me constant anxiety, like… big time.

I mean the devs couldn’t even handle the SEVEN main love interests in S1 or S2. I mean cmon who doesn’t know how Asmo and Beel were the devs obvious least favourite. There are times where all the brothers get a kiss except Beel or Asmo.

And then when 4 more characters entered the intimacy system, they handled them really good actually, amazing even. S3 was great imo, for the new dateables that was. But again, half of the brothers were forgotten to be love interests. But, they did do the new dateables good.

But then, by S4 they all literally reverted back to being side characters again and not dateables from what I could see.

Diavolo seemed the exact same as he was in S1 and S2 except maybe in one romantic scene with him. Solomon was only playing the role of a teacher and almost nothing more. If you played S4 without S3 context, you wouldn’t have even guessed that they were a dateable. Same goes for Simeon (even though almost the entirety of S4 was centred around him) Barbatos just became a more romantic dateable so, we did get one kiss by the end but… felt really rushed.

And don’t forget before we had the spotlight events how bad, cliche and repetitive the events were? Because we had to make sure we kissed all of them (except luke ofc) so an entire event chapter was dedicated to making sure we spend time and kiss all of them. And then even then there were characters who weren’t kissed or got fair time and treatment.

Finally, in Nightbringer, during S1 Solomon had a lot of spotlight for once and some Diavolo, while Simeon didn’t even exist. When it came to S2, we got Simeon spotlight but Solomon and Diavolo just went -poof- and vanished just like that.

Don’t forget that every near to end of a season, we kiss all the dateables right? And for some very weird reason, we kissed every character, but you know who we didn’t? Diavolo. And what’s even more weird is that, there was no reason not to because we’ve already kissed him previously, and the scene was in perfect timing for an MC option to kiss him, we talked to him, but just didn’t… kiss him? It’s just so… confusing.

Oh right, don’t forget how the brothers went through their special arc or whatever you’d like to name it, with MC who’s helped the brothers through and through of course, so we get to kiss them each at the end, except you know which brothers didn’t? Asmo and Beel. That’s right. Even in Nightbringer the devs never changed. Well, actually, they got even worse. You know who else didn’t get a kiss? Belphie, who we know isn’t the fandoms favourite brother, so of course… no kiss either… that’s now another brother who the devs are starting leaving to the side.

So, the entire game is a current mess and if Solmare couldn’t handle 7 love interests properly, and added 4 to the mix, which upturned everything into chaos, adding another 3 into the dateables section… is it reeaaalllllyyy a good idea? I mean to let the devs handle them…

Again it’s not like I don’t want them to be dateable but just like… how are they going to handle it? You know… considering they actually can’t handle it?

There will have to be more romance in the story, or people would complain, they’d have to fit 15 characters in, and they can’t make the lessons short, which they already do, there’s a chance we’ll get to kiss some while others won’t even get screen time, Thirteen, Raphael, and Mephisto can’t be set to the side during events either otherwise there would be complaints, and there’s no way writers won’t get tired of writing Devilgrams for 15 characters so other characters will be bad, while others who always get the top will have a decent Devilgram story. I bet the writing for almost everything will go into mess…

And that’s my only problem cus I love them and I do want them to become dateable but I also want the game content to be good even though it’s… not… really. Ok ngl it’s already a mess. And that’s just something I feel very anxious about when thinking what’s gonna happen when there are more dateables…

#I also have a feeling one of the 3 won’t get as much attention when they become dateable #I can see any of them being the one who’s left behind #and it worries me… #I also don’t want any of the current cast to not exist anymore #…well not like complaining will do anything hopefully it just doesn’t turn messed up is all I ask for #maybe that’s also too much? #obey me #obey me shall we date #obey me one master to rule them all #obey me nightbringer #obey me nb #obey me swd #Think this is relevant to the entire cast in a way so #obey me lucifer #obey me mammon #obey me leviathan #obey me satan #obey me asmodeus #obey me beelzebub #obey me belphegor #obey me diavolo #obey me barbatos #obey me luke #obey me simeon #obey me solomon #obey me raphael #obey me mephisto #obey me thirteen

recently got a chunk of money from a research fellowship and actively fighting the temptation to indulge myself in an outstandingly superfluous purchase

#gotta put that money towards a down payment on a house in the next place to which we move #'but self surely you could take some of it and buy the dx chogokin vf-1s' #get behind me satan

man I've really got to stop joining online groups and thinking "maybe I'll like this one". I never, ever do.

#“why not start your own” get thee behind me satan #the offline life is more rewarding #(💛 online friends/direct conversations; this is not about that)

Look, I'm not saying that I've been thinking about getting Jugglus Juggler's Dark Ring to make another toku toy shrine like I did for the Zombie Buckle. I would never say that.

Out loud.

Very excited abt blue exorcist s3!!!-> person who never watched the anime…this will either be vindication or continued annoyance depending on how people treat yukios characters in the season tho(is the anime worth it to watch?)

okay so full disclaimer i haven't touched the anime since i was maybe like. fifteen or something? so my memories of it are a bit fuzzy however Comma, i remember it being pretty good except for when they went anime original in season 1! it adapts the manga faithfully until like s1 ep 15 or somewhere around there, and then the rest of season 1 sucks. bad. BUT for season 2 they just. act like the anime original shit never happened and start to adapt the manga again from where they left off, and from what i remember season 2 was really great i have very very fond memories of the anime impure king arc!! so if you don't want to sit through anime original stuff then you can just skip it it has literally no bearing on season 2 or anything going forward, its a very clean and easy skip. the animations alright (aside from some poor, dated cg lol) and i remember the voice acting being really great! it was very nice to see the characters move around and talk lmao, so with all that in mind yeah i'd recommend it if you're interested at all!

#plus the ops are bangers esp op 1. very 2010s pop punk it rules #sorry that was a long winded explanation! #blue exorcist anime holds a special place in my heart. i pretend season 1B doesnt exist #i would kind of be interested to watch All That again bc tbh i dont remember exactly what happened #smth about hunting down all demons and then rin gets conflicted about it bc. hes a demon #and then their grandpa on their moms side shows up and becomes paladin (?) and idkk satan possesses yukio?? #i think rin got like. crucified at one point. in the literal sense #i cant remember exactly. it was nuts #and then i watched season 2 as an anime only fan at the time and they just acted like that never happened and were like #okay kyoto time !!!! i felt insane i was so confused #but. impure king arc my beloved.......... wails #n e way #and with what you said about yukio..... yeah #i'm waiting for people to say that he's annoying and edgy and irrational again. yukio get behind me.... I Will Protect You #im v excited to see them all moving and talking again.... izumo arc save me...... #also excited for shima being a spy. also also lucifer animated for the first time. woagh #but yeah rin okumuras gonna be on my screen again...... waaaa #mine #asks #blue exorcist
