Chase: Can I Be Frank With You Guys?

Chase: Can I be frank with you guys?

Guan:Of course!

Dashi:Sure, but can I still be Dashi?

Dojo:Shhh!Let Frank speak!

he forgot about that aspect of female body when he created Shadow.

Imo this is one of his best quotes

"Isn't that what evil is all about? A lie here, a little bad there, suddenly it's so easy"

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;

who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, And scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; and make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.

For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more: (for they could not endure that which was commanded,

And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: and so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

but ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying,

Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: for our God is a consuming fire.

Hebrews 12:1‭-‬29 KJV

Hannibal targeting Omi to get to Chase definitely seems like something he'd do! Omi's still inexperienced and naive (especially compared to Chase, who's tricked Hannibal before) despite being a strong fighter, and he's definitely one of the things Chase cares about most, so Hannibal doing that thing where he sends body parts as a ransom note to Chase is so scarily in line with the bean. That was my favorite chapter so far I think.

Thank you so much! 💓

I'm glad to hear that! 😊

I really enjoy exploring the darker sides of the villains. With Chase it's how manipulative he can be and how self-serving his logic is, even as its threaded through with genuine care. And how brutal he can be, and just dismissive of anyone he doesn't want in his sphere.

With Wuya, it's how she's first and foremost focused on self-preservation and power, even as you can see that she's capable of friendship, but her own wellbeing always comes first.

Jack wants to matter. And by the end of the series, Omi is the primary person (if not the only one) who he matters to. Which I think is a huge part of why he went so far in Time after Time.

With Bean it's harder because he's deliberately difficult to parse. You don't know his goals, his motivations, etc. The only thing you can say for sure is that he cares for Ying-Ying, though he does seem to like Wuya. But his goals? What are they? What's worse than ten thousand years of darkness?

Bean for me is notable because he was written to be fairly inscrutable. You really have to guess at a lot with him because of how close to his chest he keeps his cards. He's one of the few characters where this approach works.

However, his blatant hatred for Chase does give a decent opening into his character and I think he'd be very capable of chopping up Omi and sending his body parts to Chase in order to hurt Chase.

that first chap of your caroline au has me on the edge of my seat! an ancient malevolence...

Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad! I'll be quite excited to reveal who that is. 😆
