It feels important to remember than on 4sd, Sam said he wanted to do more with the Changebringer but wasn’t sure if he should take up that much time with it–to which Taliesin and Travis emphatically reassured him that they also wanted to see him do more with the Changebringer and that they loved it
The disdainful way Teven say of the demons that “they are chaos without meaning” is the single most devil-paladin combination thing he could say.
Answering Fearne’s “promise?” with a coy but solemn “unbindingly”, i.e. refusing to swear anything to her blithely and casually, was second most devil-paladin combination thing he could say.
new worldview where i think everyone else has free will and a rich, complex interior life while i am the only person who does not
Since I see a lot of people reblogging this with “#me,” or something similar, I just want to say something. I’m not going to pretend that anything I can say will reverse mental illness or undo depression. But I want to say it nonetheless.
Because of how light works, you are the center of the observable universe. If you drew a perfect map of space, and your friend several feet to your right did, they would be ever-so-slightly different at the edges. You’d have a couple of feet extra on the left side; your friend on the right.
Because of how time works, your past is utterly unchangeable—and the possibilities in your future are limitless. You alter entire timelines every time you take a breath.
Because of how the mind works, you will never be anyone else—and you will always be new. Today you isn’t yesterday you. Your personal experience is important. It has to be, because you’re the center of the universe, and because everything you do affects every other part of it.

Things are, generally speaking, rough right now. I don’t think I have to explain why. But all hope is not yet lost. If you love the world, then it is important. If you love the universe, then you love yourself. And if you don’t feel that way right now… then I’m really sorry that your situation has caused you to feel that way. But I truly believe (and hope) that you can get there. It starts with deciding to look out for number one.
Self-centeredness isn’t wrong. It’s holy. Done right, it’s a part of how the universe cares. Don’t be ashamed of self-love, and if you feel useless—just remember that there is no set purpose to life, other than to live it the way you want.
You aren’t an NPC. You’re not even a PC. You’re the P. Purpose lives within you, whether you can feel it right now or not.
Asmodeus commanding Tevon Klask to consider as potential allies all mortals who walk with the light of the Primes and all those who are unaffiliated is a really good indication of his position on the issue of Predathos. Because Asmodeus hates mortals and revels in their corruption and torture. But he’s willing to work alongside both the Primes and the mortals creations he hates so much because Predathos is that much of a bigger issue. And it makes sense that he is such a problem in Asmodeus’ eyes: Mortals killed one of his siblings, the God-Eater killed two
