There’s something about how Ludinus says the gods use the mortals as their playthings (and I don’t remember if he actually said this next bit or just implied it) but it sounds like he’s suggesting the gods have full control over fate and destiny (maybe at one point they did?) and that’s part of why he wants to get rid of them.
I can’t stop thinking about this.
If the gods really had that control they would’ve never let any of this get as far as it has. (Unless of course their desire was to die, but then why not open the divine gate and release Predathos themselves?)
Fate and destiny is above the gods pay grade.
Fate and destiny feels inherent to the world in general and without it there is no world.
Fate and destiny feels foundational to Exandria and everything on it. It’s a starting point, not the end result.
The luxon beacons suggest (prove?) there are an infinite number of possibilities for every life. You are fated to exist, but your destiny is what you make of it. Every choice made, sends you down a new path of possibility. The gods cannot choose what every being’s eventual fate will be (that would be an asinine amount of power that couldn’t be beaten). They might be able to influence your choices, but they cannot make them for you.
The Matron probably only has very minimal influence on fate; she can probably only tug on the strings not reweave them. Similar to Nana Morri, she can probably see all the threads but can’t actually influence them in the way Ludinus implies all of the gods can. Makes me wonder if releasing Predathos was an idea planted by The Betrayer Gods as a way to eliminate The Prime Deities and restart Exandria like they intended to back before the schism.
So even after a thousand years of planning, Ludinus is so caught up in his own hubristic desires (and probably some revenge too) that he fails to realize if fate is controlled by the gods, he is doomed to lose no matter what.

Possessed Voices: Aural Remains from Modernist Hebrew Theater
Finalist for the 2020 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award in the category of Jews and the Arts: Music, Performance, and Visual presented by the Association for Jewish Studies
Possessed Voices tells the intriguing story of a largely unknown collection of audio recordings, which preserve performances of modernist interwar Hebrew plays. Ruthie Abeliovich focuses on four recordings: a 1931 recording of The Eternal Jew (1919/1923), a 1965 recording of The Dybbuk (1922), a 1961 radio play of The Golem (1925), and a 1952 radio play of Yaakov and Rachel (1928). Abeliovich traces the spoken language of modernist Hebrew theater as grounded in multiple modalities of expressive practices, including spoken Hebrew, Jewish liturgical sensibilities supplemented by Yiddish intonation and other vernacular accents, and in relation to prevalent theatrical forms. The book shows how these recorded performances provided Jewish immigrants from Europe with a venue for lamenting the decline of their home communities and for connecting their memories to the present. Analyzing sonic material against the backdrop of its artistic, cultural, and ideological contexts, Abeliovich develops a critical framework for the study of sound as a discipline in its own right in theater scholarship.

For the tmg album asks: The Life of the World To Come?
thank you so, so much for this ask - the life of the world to come was my first mountain goats album and remains the most important to me to this day <3
the best song on the album: matthew 25:21 speaks to grief in a way that is genuinely incomparable in my experience. i think it'd be a crime to suggest any other song off this album for best song.
my favorite song on the album: extremely difficult to answer. genesis 3:23 like. changed my life. i'd heard a few tmg songs before my best friend played me genesis 3:23 but wasn't Into The Goats. and since then i've been like. guy who almost exclusively listens to the mountain goats. it also had an insane impact on my original story. but if we're permitting bonus tracks too, the itunes bonus track, enoch 18:14, is like. one of the best songs in tmg's discography to me and i love it in a place beyond words.
my least favorite song on the album: my least favorite song on this album is ezekiel 7 and the permanent efficacy of grace, but like. it's still a song with complex layers of meaning and personal emotional connection for me, i very much so love and have cried to this song, the others just all outrank it.
the most overrated song on the album: psalms 40:2. people aren't wrong to love it as much as they do, but it's the song i see recognized the most off of this album and it's far from the best song on the album as a whole! no hate to psalms 40:2, just a wish that the rest of the album got More recognition.
most underrated: 1 samuel 15:23? i don't actually know the definitive lowest rated song on this album, but i also don't think i've ever seen any love for this track. it's not My Favorite of all the songs on this album? it's not top 3 for me? but it is like really important to me. it stands at the threshold to this album and stands by your side as you enter the emotional space the album occupies. it's a guardian of sorts to me, and i treasure it, and it brings me to some crystal clear memories of a beloved friend's home. the only other transitional guardian like it i can name in the discography is going to chino, which i love just as earnestly.
the banger of all bangers: i'd be lying if i didn't say psalms 40:2, straight up. to avoid repeat answers though i'm gonna shout out romans 10:9 which was my alarm clock when i worked at an airport starbucks for the 3:30 am shift and was getting at most 3 hours of sleep at a time but frequently less.
rate from 0-10: ten. i love you the life of the world to come.
