She hated everything that predestined people, that fooled them, that made them slightly less than human.

-- Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

[mlkrkv]

the universe and whatever supreme entity or force that exists—be it a god or destiny—knew they were onto something that one evening when shion and ethan met on omegle.

they knew how their cards would play once they laid them down. they knew how the world would look up as they aligned the stars in amazement—awestruck at how something so celestial can be perceived from earth. they knew how the music would sound so heavenly once they finished composing the piece, each note enchantingly following the other in a graceful dance of serendipity.

all that was left was for shion and ethan to roll their dice and decide for themselves which road to go down to.

the universe set up the scene, and all that was left for the actors to play out onstage. the space was carved out for them, and it was up to them on how they would fill it up with their beings. something greater than us laid down a blank canvas and gave them paint, leaving it all up to them to color the canvas however they like.

and what a beautiful image they created.

IT’S NOT WHAT YOU DID IT’S WHAT YOU’RE DESTINED TO DO…..

Destiny and Free Will

BEN: Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him.

LUKE: You mean it controls your actions?

BEN: Partially. But it also obeys your commands.

This exchange here, this explains how the future is always in motion/characters have control over their own destiny and how the Force has a will and “plan” for how things were to go

the Force has a degree of influence over you, but it cannot determine your actions and choices, and vice versa on your part

Destiny, or the Force’s will, is something that is not set or predetermined, it can be accepted or rejected, something we see with Anakin, his destiny (though personally I am more inclined to believe that Luke was the real chosen one as I explained in another post) was to destroy the sith and bring balance, but he rejected this and became Vader, and continued to reject this destiny for 23 years
