Rianna/Stereotypes

	I wish it was just Twilight. I'd take Team Edward over what's really out there any day of the week. These monsters need to die.
	You guys had your chance. All I wanted was to help. But you didn't want that from me. All you wanted was a servant. Someone to bow and scrape and say 'thank-you-sir-may-I-have-another'. Well. Get used to disappointment. I am so done with you jackholes.
	Mom? Dad? Are you guys still out there? Can you hear me? I can't do this by myself. I don't know who I can trust, and you're the only people who ever loved me. Help me, please. I'm so scared.
	Angels. Demons. Whatever. I'm interested in 'monster' or 'not monster'. If you're not a monster? Then cool. We can jam together. If you are? Then your ass is so going back to Hell.

	I've only barely glimpsed who they are. I want to see more, but... if they really are dreams, then they have to fade like dreams. I couldn't do that to them.
	Where do I go from here? How far do I have to go to reach infinity? My Mother and my Goddess are out there. They're a part of me. So why do they feel so distant these days?
	Everyone matters. Every life is precious. Until they choose to become monsters. I have to spare those I can from the pain I've seen. Save them from the evil I've witnessed. Because they can't. They don't know how. And if I don't, then what hope is left?

	I respect their discipline. And they can do all the wicked-cool shit out of the Matrix. But all the peaceful thoughts and breathing in the world isn't going to stop the monsters. Sometimes, you have to stop consecrating your navel and fight.
	I can get down with the whole One Divinity thing. What I can't get down with is passing judgement because my Goddess isn't their One Divinity. Gaia is love, not hate.
	I can jam with these guys. I'm not down with all the drugs and shit, and I really think there's more to life than getting laid. But I'm okay with the idea of life being more than the Grim Struggle.
	They have a lot to offer us. They're closer to Gaia and Her Velvet Shadow than any of the rest of us. If only they saw my family for the jackholes they really are, they'd be actually pretty all right to hang with.
	I understand why they do what they do. I really do. They make sure things die when they need to. Not when we might want or hope for them to. I can dig that.

	Get the fuck over yourself. You guys can go on about being the 'First Tradition' all you want. You all totally stole your best ideas from us. My cave paintings and menhirs versus your grimoires and towers--let's go, Merlin.
	I can dig these dudes, as long as they lay off the patriarchy vibe. If anyone can see that science and magick can coexist, it's them. Besides, steampunk is cool.
	Across a thousand nations and forty thousand years. The teachers and the healers, we are the Craft of the Wise. The roots of our tree are deeper than any Tradition, our power the Will of our Goddess. Our magick lives and breathes. It is timeless. It is eternal. It is everything.
	They got some cool-ass toys. I won't deny that. But the world is more than a computer program. It's not something you can change just by wanting to. You have to love the world, because the world is alive. It isn't data. It's more than that.
	Tragedy I get. Despair, darkness. Misery, desperation, and death. I get it. I get where they're coming from. What I don't get is why they'd rather wallow in it than try to rise above it and become more. Things are only bad now. They can be better. If we want them to be. This world is ours. We can do anything.

	Why can't the rest of the Nation understand? Why can't they be more like you? They don't fight for Gaia because they love Her, but because they hate the Wyrm. You can't save anything with hate. Why won't you make them understand?
	Nobody understands the power of Woman like I do. Nobody. But what you're doing? This is not how a loving Mother behaves. Hate will not save Gaia. Only love can do that.
	Tell me again exactly how exterminating the human race is going to bring the wolves back? How is that going to make anything better? How is that not the exact same fucking thing the Wyrm is trying to do? Yeah. That's what I thought.

	At least you guys aren't all about killing people and toppling the cities. I'm okay with that. But seriously, you guys don't have to be such dicks all the time, do you?
	You guys can go on and on all day long about how honorable and glorious you are. I'm not buying it. There's nothing glorious or honorable about war. You want to really impress me? Show me you can wage peace in our Mother's name. 'til you can do that, I have no use for you.
	Abashed, the devil stood and saw how awful goodness is. Run, monsters. I am coming for you.
