I Need To Talk About How Much I Love Ghosts In Fiction. I Love When They Aren't Just Some Scary Monsters,

You said your favourite thing was Eli's abilities to ignore reality. Can you elaborate on what you mean? Some examples?

I think him in vegenful when he was at EON is a great example of how inside his own head Eli can be, he just seems to convince himself that he's right and nothing will ever stop him, like, yes keep talking to the "ghost" even after connecting that he was alive, do it! delusion at it finest.

I think this might be one of the most striking traits of his character and how he reasons things, a lot of people just hate him for how he called the cops on Victor and if you just try to follow his vision it makes sense! come with me for this one.

- I feel strange after becoming a EO, like something is missing, apathy and emptiness, loss of fear, so I try to "protect" the only person I consider a friend, this person kills my girlfriend and lies to me even after I saying it shouldn't be done like that, I call the police, he comes back and stabs me, and uses his power on me, confirming my "suspicions" that EOs are in fact inherently evil and wrong I no longer recognize my best friend as himself but rather a "devil" who is using his body. -

at the end of the day I think a lot of Eli is how he rationalizes and tries to fit together pieces of a narrative that doesn't go against him being exposed as wrong or as monstrous, or not holy, for various reasons, being a martyr? maybe his general relationship with religion and how he sees himself as a person? What he knows is that he can't be wrong, it can't be true, if he's wrong what would become of him? Then god hates him, and god doesn't hate him. if he can't die. There's a reason. It has to be one.

"Wouldn’t You?” He cut deeper, through to bone, over and over, until the floor was red. Until he’d given his life to God a hundred times, and a hundred times had it given back. Until the fear and the doubt had all been bled out of him. And then he set the knife aside with shaking hands. Eli dipped his fingertips in the slick of red, crossed himself, and got back to his feet. " Part Two; Chapter IV,  Vicious.

Many people wonder, why does he kill other EOs if he himself is one, doesn't he consider himself unnatural too? when in fact it is more he has convinced himself that he is different and that this has a purpose! he clearly doesn't like being an EO and appears to admit that he would kill himself if he could, he literally tried too, but if he can't then this has to be something bigger than him right? he can't be a sinner, against God's nature, God obviously has a mission for him! Because God loves him.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a bigger picture of how I think Eli works as a character, I think too much about this guy, sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for the question!

“You shouldn’t self-ID as ADHD/autistic, you’re turning a very real mental condition into a trend” Ok then stop saying delulu. Stop speculating on which cluster C personality disorder the criminals you hear about on the news have. Stop saying “schizoposting” and “acoustic” and “is it restarted?” Stop using “psycopath” and “sociopath” as catch-all ways of calling someone a bad person. Stop saying “the intrusive thoughts won” when you bleach your hair and then turn your nose up at people who suffer from very real, very scary urges of physical/sexual violence. Stop saying “I’m so OCD” as a way of calling yourself neat. Stop treating BPD/ASPD/Bipolar as inherently abusive. Stop saying “OP I am living in your walls” without tagging for unreality. Stop diagnosing complete strangers you’ve never met on r/AITA with NPD.

You first. If you don’t want our disabilities to be treated like trends then stop belittling and minimising them. I’ll NEVER judge a person for trying find labels for their symptoms when an apathetic, racist, sexist, ableist healthcare system refuses to. But I will absolutely judge a hypocrite. Which a lot of you are

The fact it is really a unpopular opinion shows how stupid this fandom is

my unpopular villains series opinion is that Victor was manipulating and using Sdy in Vicious, and that he only really started to show care or "affection" at the end of the book and in Vengeful.

genuinely going insane over andrew and aarons relationship bc im trying to remember if andrew ever puts his hands on aaron and i dont think he does? like he pulls a knife on nicky, kevin, elbows neil, damn near breaks allisons neck, like im pretty sure he attacks every person on the foxes but for the life of me i cannot remember him doing anything to aaron. like yes aaron is mildly afraid of andrew but knowing that no matter what hes the safest out of everyone has GOT to make him have a complex. aaron was the first person andrew really ever loved.

things i want for my birthday:

1.) All Two Hundred Episodes of the magnus archives podcast recorded on cassette tapes for me to listen to and truly Experience the show as it was meant to be experienced

2.) idk like. clothes i guess

RANCHER CRUMBS?? WAHHHHH

~~~

Tango (in clip): I hate pvp….

Jimmy: now come on! You say I do stupid stuff! Man was on one heart- half a heart, and he did not eat. He was not eating!

Jimmy: I have no words- Tango? Tango! Come on now, man.

Jimmy: maybe that’s why we’re ranchers, holy moly. That was silly, and I’m silly, *zoom in on Jimmy putting his fingers together* put two together. Double silly. Double life. Double rancher.

Jimmy, zoomed in: I miss you…

More memes cos this man was a legend

happy anniversary to my personal hell

Joel chose to room with two birds and he is facing the consequences

He doesn’t really mind them though-

Something I love from the book is that when Crowley traps Hastur in the answering machine, he genuinely considers taking the tape and leaving it in his car so that it turns into Queen.

He decides this is too cruel a fate. This is right after he has killed Ligur with a bucket of holy water. Agonisingly melting? That's cool, but becoming a Queen track is too far.
