yknow when you get into a band, and you only like a portion of their discography but the songs you do like you Really like, so you go to their albums and listen to them thinking "surely the other songs can't be as bad as i remember" and they so are

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?
Deciding to grind more gems in Master Duel or spend 1000 years playing Pokemon again...
Rambling beneath the cut lol
I'm playing Invoked Magistus in the theme chronicle event this time and oh God that deck does a whole lot of nothing very efficiently (there aren't many good generic synchro 8s or rank 4s available and the Magistus extra deck usually just wants to make an extra deck floodgate with a battle trick, and you never want to have to make Vahram AKA synchro mirrorjade that only has the on destruction effect and nothing else)
It wasn't mentioned by name but since we know we are getting more Witchcrafter cards and hopefully more propheseers and Endymion cards due to the new manga announcement, but Magistus *really* needs something to do that isn't Calamity Zoroa, and not even the Aleister fusions round out the deck's issues; Magistus Crowley's effect to change attributes like never comes up to make any Aleister fusions because the other Magistus cards can be used as material for the most important ones anyway which I think was the main purpose of the effect at printing? But idk more often than not I'm sending an Aleister from hand or field to graveyard and then invocating with it and something else in grave more than I'm changing Crowley to a light or smth...
Also don't get me started on the Prophecy monsters in general. (Monster portion of the spellbook archetype)
my main advice for writing an enemies to lovers relationship is to resist the urge to make the characters' loathing and attraction mutually exclusive opposing forces. it's okay if they're getting weirdly into it and having Thoughts whilst also sincerely wanting to kill each other with hammers.
