Now that I have some feedback on this year's Inklings Challenge themes, a few suggestions seemed the most popular.

Several voices expressed interest in Gifts/Fruits of the Spirit, which continues to intrigue me, but I shy away from it for the same reason that I have other years, which is that Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, and Self-Control mostly fit fairly closely in with one another, which would make it difficult to single out one as a focus, and could make for stories that fit within a very narrow band.

One possibility that occurs is to make a list of lists: seven themes that are all groupings of their own, though this makes it even more complicated.

However, now that I’m thinking of those lists, I suddenly have a bunch of other ideas.

If this was a strictly Catholic challenge, we would totally be doing sacraments for the theme list.

The Corporal Works of Mercy are also probably mostly a Catholic concept, but they offer very specific yet wide-ranging prompts for stories.

Feed the hungry

Give drink to the thirsty

Shelter the homeless

Clothe the naked

Visit the sick

Visit the imprisoned

Bury the dead

If I’m willing to expand the list just slightly, we could do the Eight Beatitudes, which also offer very specific story-related prompts.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall have their fill.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

Blessed are they that suffer persecution for the sake of Christ, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

There was also a lot of interest in letting people pick books of the Bible as inspiration, leaving it up to the author to choose whether to be inspired by plot points, themes, characters, etc.

If I did go with this option, I’d probably do a combination of specific books + categories to cover a wider range. Something like

Genesis

Judges

Kings

Prophets

Psalms

Gospels

Revelation

I do like this idea, but this does leave a burden on the author to dive into the Bible, and with only a three-week writing window, people could get too tangled up in possibilities or the time commitment of rereading to actually write anything in time (and it could suggest we’re expecting retellings, which would not be the case.)

Other Bible-related options that intrigue me included the suggestion to list seven Bible characters to use as inspiration—which could have the same effect of making people think we’re expected retellings instead of just “use this as a spark of inspiration”. One way to avoid that could be to list several categories of characters and let people pick: Fathers, Judges, Kings, Prophets, Apostles, etc. But then we get back to the “requires too much research on the author’s part” problem.

I also loved the idea of using seven of Christ’s parables as prompts. This has a similar benefit to the “books of the Bible” option in that it would allow people to choose plot points, characters, themes, imagery, etc., but it narrows the focus so there’s not so much reading to dive into. It also has a similar drawback—people might think we expect retellings. But in our Christian storytelling challenge, it seems very fitting to tie our work to the idea of Christ as storyteller.

List of possible parables include the well-known story parables:

The Good Samartian

The Prodigal Son

The Ten Virgins

The Unforgiving Servant

The Rich Man and Lazarus

The Pharisee and the Tax Collector

The Laborers in the Vineyard

The Ten Talents

As well as some with more abstract imagery:

The Parable of the Sower

The Parable of the Wheat Among Weeds

The Parable of the Lost Sheep

The Parable of the Pearl

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

The Parable of the Friend at Midnight

I understand I have not made my problem easier. I’m just trying to list some options and get more specific feedback.

from Perec’s Life A User’s Manual. As the wiki article shows, ‘Gelon The Samartian’ might figure as a different translation, or more likely I think a deliberate misattribution (idk), but the text Perec uses is directly lifted from Rabelais’ 4th book of Pantagruel: (… “also a tarand, whom he bought of a Scythian of the Gelones’ country”.)

Rabelais includes a final statement that Perec leaves off:

“When the creature was free from any fear or affection, the colour of its hair was just such as you see that of the asses of Meung.”

Hello! I have a lil' question for Mr. Snake: What's Snake's least favorite good samartian job?

I did a lot of good samartian jobs before I got stuck with the burger gig.

My least favorite, or should I say most hated, was window cleaning.

Window cleaning. From a tall building. I mentioned before that I have a fear of heights. Even in a perfectly enclosed scaffolding, I felt like I was walking on a tight rope. I thought I was gonna faint...

It didn't help that Shark's size caused the scaffolding to sway.

Thankfully Wolf was there... I had to hold his hand a couple of times to calm myself down... And I almost broke his hand. >_>'

Ok I know this movie is a clusterfuck whatever but I have one (1) big big big BIG pet peeve and that is. Those men are Romans. Like literally they are not fucking samartians that's not how the imperium works. They have been Romans for generations their fathers were Romans their grandfathers were Romans. They would NOT. want to go back home. And they would certainly NOT call themselves anything but Romans. They have fucking CITIZENSHIP. DID THE SCREENWRITER EVER OPEN EVEN ONE (1) TEXTBOOK ON THE PROVINCES LITERALLY THE PROCESS OF ROMANIZATION IS THE ONE FUCKING THING THE ROMANS DID IN THE PROVINCES. THOSE MEN ARE NOT "UNFREE" OR SOMETHING THEY ARE FREE ROMANS OR ELSE THEY LITERALLY COULD NOT SERVE IN THE ARMY THE ROMAN ARMY DID NOT DO FORCED CONSCRIPTIONS THE WHOLE PREMISE OF THIS FILM IS ABSOLUTE BULLCRAP.

The Gosdorian Ruinious Quartet

In the DLC for Pokemon Zenith and Nadir, my Pokemon games inspired by Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, there are new Legendary regional forms which are...the Ruinious Quartet from Paldea? How does that work, given their lore?

I came up with the idea that long ago, the people in Gosdor somehow ended up with similar items to what the ancient king of Paldea had. Remembering the legends, they 'purified' the items, and they eventually rose to become the Gosdorian Forms of the Ruinious Quartet. However, they all ended up running away shortly after their purification, and haven't been seen since.

The four act as more good versions than their Paldean counterparts, swapping their Dark Types for Psychic Types. They are no longer bound by their signature items, too. Each one are also based on an American legend to fit the Gosdor region being based on South America.

Finally, it's time to go over them one by one! Starting with Gosdorian Wo-Chien, who is a Psychic/Grass Type now and is based on the Samartian sea snail.

No longer bound by its tablets, it grew orbs on its stalks that are packed with psychic power and developed small, webbed forelegs and grassy whiskers. It is thought the slime left behind when it moves can cure any disease.

Next is Gosdorian Chien-Pao, who is a Psychic/Ice Type and based on the ball-tailed cat.

No longer bound by its sword, the bulbous mass on its tail was created via its new psychic energy bundling up in its tail, and even just lightly touching it can result in frostbite. Its new, organic fangs can pierce through several thick metal sheets as if they were nothing.

After that is Gosdorian Ting-Lu, who is now Psychic/Ground and based on the white stag as well as madstone.

No longer bound by its vessel, it solidified and became made entirely of madstone, which is where all its psychic power is. When it splinters, the shards of the madstone are highly sought after under belief that it can be extremely beneficial to one's health.

Finally, is Gosdorian Chi-Yu, who is Psychic/Fire and based on the fur baring trout.

No longer bound by its beads, Chi-Yu developed a thick, furry coat to protect itself in its new environment. Each strand of fur is made up of its new psychic energy, and it uses that energy to keep itself afloat while shooting out fiery balls backed with psychic power.

I hope all of these are alright, considering how I tried to keep things as respectful as possible. It should also be noted that Gosdorian Wo-Chien and Chien-Pao are exclusive to Pokemon Zenith and Gosdorian Ting-Lu and Chi-Yu are exclusive to Pokemon Nadir.

☕ any headcanons about the machine and/or samaritan? also since time loops have been on the dash, takes on the shaw interrogation loop? (over-under on how many distinct variations of root hookups they tried?)

Samaritan:

Not so much a headcanon, but I'm trying really hard to rewrite my memory to create a version of POI where Samaritan's avatar was Claire (who got a whole episode of build up and was then never used again!!!) instead of the annoying kid. (Which, like, who thought that was a good idea.)

Also not really a headcanon because I just firmly believe it's just actually correct and textually supported, but- Samaritan wasn't, like, by nature megalomaniacal or anything. The show's really big on parenting as a theme (ofc), and this is really clearest in comparing the Machine as taught by Finch and Samaritan as taught by Greet (just, uh, don't look too closely in the bit whole Machine-and-Finch thing. #RootWasRight)

Anyway, Samaritan was designed as a guardian angel, not a god - in that sense it was better designed than the Machine, really - it's first words on awakening are asking for orders. It's supposed to be all creepy and apocalyptic when Greer corrects it and asks it for orders instead, but really everything it does is still doing what Greer wants and becoming the thing he wants it to be.

It's just, okay, to be a weeb for a second, you know how at the end of Fate/Zero Kiritsugi's fatal flaw is that, having his spent entire life cold-heartedly choosing the lesser evil, when confronted with the chance to make an actual positive wish and change the world for the better he just BSOD's and fucks everything up? Greer's like that. He thinks he wants a posthuman god who can govern the world by cool rationality and which has evolved past all the petty human foibles he hates, but he's so drunk on cold war spy games and power plays that the only god he can concieve of is just a grander and more effective bloody-handed puppetmaster manipulating things behind the scenes.

(Also, for thematic reasons I think it works better if the 'Machine' that survives the finale is actually Samartian, but also that this doesn't matter one iota.)

Machine/Samaritan:

Incredibly hot and not 100% endorsed take, but I've always been pretty iffy on how the whole Samaritan/Machine conflict was handled, thematically? Or, like, Samaritan in general, really.

It just feels vaguely like cheating to spend 3 seasons and change leaning into the whole cybperunk panopticon obsolescence-of-humanity paranoia, and then just switch directions and go 'Okay but there's actually the GOOD superinteligent machine-god, and the EVIL superinteligent machine-god, and the Evil one's winning!"

Also, like, on a watsonian level you can kind of justify the Machine losing so badly as just being down to, like, latent self-hatred and fucking Harold. But in the moment in felt like a pretty blunt way to keep the team feeling like underdogs, and felt kind of forced and artificial at the time.

AU where they killed that senator like they were told to, basically.

Interrogation Loop:

I should rewatch that episode, it was good.

Also, like, dozens. Minimum.

"Abrahamaic" Anon unless you're also counting Bahai'i faith, Druze, Yazdism, Mandeasim (well technically, it's not abrahamaic because they do not reverse Abraham but they do worship the same god abrahamaic religions worship) and samartianism and know they exist then you should shut up because you don't know what you're talking about.

Also — newsflash but not all religions have religious leaders or institutions? Specifically religions under the neopagan and theistic satanism / luciferianism umbrellas. And one of those is against dogma to begin with. So.

Don't know how to process the fact that I live in a world where the words "good samartian" are used to describe the person who killed the person who was killing people

#There is so much trauma here #Some person went to the mall with the intention to kill people and did #Some person went to the mall with the intention of shopping and ended up killing a person #Some people went to the mall with the intention of shopping and ended up dead #How is this the world we live in
