But What Exactly *is* Politics? - Tumblr Posts
“Jie, why’re we in a temple of the Bloody Head General? Didn’t you say you wanted to pray for the health of your marriage and your children to come?”
“I did, and we are.”
“This omega god is a martial god, and a savage one at that! How could he possibly help you live in that snake pit called Koi Tower other than smite the scheming bastards?”
“A-Cheng, you shouldn’t speak so ill of A-Xuan’s family! Furthermore, Bloody Head General is indeed a fierce warrior whom many pray to in the name of violence, but legend says he was a mother before his ascension, and there’s not a mother alive who doesn’t understand the plight of another.”
The day before her marriage, JYL prays to the vicious god in Yiling for protection in the Lanling Jin sect. This confuses everyone who knows her sweet and gentle nature and inclination toward pacifism. It’s understandable; everything they say about WWX as a martial god is true. From his gruesome battle tactics to his fierce temper, WWX is a force not to be taken lightly. These are, however, only the aspects his human worshippers choose to give focus.
Touched by her judgment of his character, WWX answers her prayers in the form of MXY, a young bastard of JGS’s who is moved by JYL’s immediate recognition of him as family and genuine kindness. He is then rewarded with a small gift of precognition that he decides to use to help a good woman live well in a den of venomous snakes.
WWX, from his divine dwelling, watches the evildoers burn and the righteous ones rise from their ashes.
