#we forget

[lettucemakar]

I forgot. Gabe's out. That explains it

[renee-writer]

We forget

In the wonder of being His

We forget

That we still live in a fallen world

We forget

When we are surrounded by others that believe

That most around us don’t

We forget

That Satan is still active on this earth

That, right now, it is his

We forget

In our bubble

That there are so many trapped in his lies

We forget

In our pride, our self worship

Our contentment to be in church

We forget

That we are to be the church

We forget

The ones seeking, the ones hurting, the ones hungry,

For the very Bread of Life

That lives in us

We forget

The devil we once knew

The one that enslaved us

In our freedom

We forget

The ones still in chains

We forget

We have the key to unlock them

How can we forget?

rly wanted to put smth i told a mootie here for others who might feel sad/disappointed by takiishi's view of endo:

we can see in this chapter that ume and endo represent two parts of the human experience that takiishi seems to have some experience with, in a way - while it started off that way, he admits, that they annoy him

it's more obvious to say that umemiya specifically made him have fun, but look at the framing

he doesnt say specifically ume made him feel that. it's BOTh of them

for takiishi, this is how he experiences the world. and think about it! he knows of endo as someone who gets him things he likes. he went to him for the tattoo bc he knew endo would design something he liked (<a servermate said that and i was STUNNED)

endo exists in his world, it's just that it's not in the way endo sees it/expects it, because so far all we've had is HIS interpretation of takiishi

takiishi's view of the world is very tilted and strange, he might even have face blindness. he only sees people as objects, but for these two... theyre human.

theyre the only humans, to him. that's huge, for someone like takiishi. and soon im certain we will see more, and we will ge more of him acknowledging endo

yes, takiishi def doesnt APPRECIATE endo as much as he should but we expected that, in fact endo is someone he values more than i expected a few moths ago, it's huge. and in takiishi's own inner world, where he's blank, devoid of color and shadows, endo's tattoo is still there. he values him and what endo gives him, although probably not the way a regular human experiences it. he needs to just get better

he needs to understand what endo is to him.

“We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget. We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were.”

Once upon a time, life just happened. In the way that chemical reactions do, an inevitable occurrence when ingredients are thrown in a pinch of soup.
