"God gives you special challenges because you're strong enough to handle them."

I'm not the fucking Avengers.

Life was already plenty hard before standing up and walking across the room became exhausting. I didn't need mythic tier challenge mode difficulties. I don't get any extra loot for this shit. It just sucks.
"God has a plan for you, Rain."

Sending love amidst the suckage.

@gwynnion

Plotting out carrying stuff into the kitchen & bringing food back & you •still• forget something & have to walk all the damn way back....

@cavyherd Ugh. I always forget something! My boyfriend usually gets up and does it for me, though. 🥰

@gwynnion

Boyfriend is a treasure. I hope he gets properly spoiled in all the ways you able to manage.

@gwynnion When life gives you lemons, you make C-4 and fuck up life's world.
@Kalshann Can you make C-4 with lemons? 🤔
@gwynnion No, you can't - because life or god or physics doesn't want an even playing field.
@Kalshann Puny god. 😤
@gwynnion
If the gods weren't cowards, magic would work.
@Kalshann That's why you gotta scoop out their insides and make holy sherbet out of it! And then eat that stuff! Or something!
@Kalshann Lemon flavored! I don't know! I think I lost control of the metaphor!
@gwynnion
Yeah, I was about to ask... though magical C-4 flavored sounds better!
@Kalshann I just want it to not hurt when I lift my arm. For starters anyway. 🫩
@gwynnion
Is the sherbet like lemon flavored?

@gwynnion I hear ya. Also, when I hear "When God closes a door, he opens a window." I ask "Why not just open another door?"
What good is an open window? What am I supposed to do? Climb out? What floor am I on? Did God give me wings? A rope? Jesus H. Christ in a jet pack, help a sinner out here!

I get why we create rationalizations & justifications for systems that aren't helping us (like healthcare) It's easier to blame "An act of God" than the humans who should be helping each other.

@gwynnion

If the gods want me to go up against special challenges, they can damn well cough up with the special resources to tackle them with.

@gwynnion I think I know this particular god, they are a huge asshole.
@gwynnion ahhh, yes. Boy Gods who think they are Men Gods. The original toxic masculinity.

@gwynnion I MUST REITERATE THIS:

Literally EVERYONE WHO HAS EVER DIED HAS DIED FROM THE INABILITY TO WITHSTAND SOMETHING.

So that imaginary friend thing is... such a shitty excuse to make people feel like they're being dramatic about things that aren't okay.

Just horrible to say to people.

@gwynnion I completed all challenges 😁now we both playing hide & seek.
@gwynnion If this god existed, they'd be a colossal asshole.

I got this in a fortune cookie - Everything happens for a reason and makes you stronger because it didn't kill you. Thoughts and prayers, plus your lucky numbers are 7 and 11
