Charlie only wants to ascend souls because every time one of them dies in Hell she feels the physical pain of it.
Charlie curled up in pain as the extermination finished, her breathing ragged as she tried to move. It was like this every year, feeling in pain and exhausted from the countless deaths that came from the angels as sinners were killed left and right. The souls of the damned calling out to her as they disappeared, pain coursing through her body in every place the sinners were killed. Small marks littered her body where each sinner had been killed, each one a reminder that she couldnt protect them. 
“Charlie?” Vaggie asked as she walked in. “Everything okay?” 
“F-fine…” Charlie whimpered out as she struggled to sit up. “‘M…. fine.” 
Vaggie rushed over to her and rubbed her back. “Charlie? What’s going on?” 
“Ex… exterm…” Charlie couldnt get the rest of the words out as she tried to sit up, her voice still rough as the marks around her neck started to fade. Even as her strength started to come back, it was still hard for her to sit up on her own, only able to as she felt Vaggie help her sit up. 
“Take it easy Charlie, I’m here for you.” 
Charlie gave her a small nod as she felt a bit of the pain fade away. “I-I… I have to… save them.” 
“Save them?” 
“The sinners.” Charlie nearly gasped as she felt a little more of the pain faded away, her strength slowly coming back to her. “Every time one of them dies, I feel their pain.” 
“Sinners kill each other all the time, right?” Vaggie asked. “What makes this so different?” 
“Its… its how they die.” Charlie stood up and made her way to the window of her bedroom, looking out at the aftermath of the extermination. “If sinners kill each other, their souls still stay here. But when the exterminators do, those souls disappear and I can feel their pain. Every stab, every sting, every death, I feel all of it.” 
Vaggie sighed and put a gentle hand on Charlie’s shoulder. “Then we stop the exterminations.” 
Charlie tried to smile, her eyes still glued to the destruction below. “Its… its more than that. Even if we stop the exterminations, there’s still a chance someone in Heaven will try something else. That’s why I started this hotel, so I can help sinners move on so I dont have to feel this pain anymore.” 
“You know you wont be able to save them all, right?” 
“I-I know.” Charlie relaxed against Vaggie as she tried to calm herself, glancing at the last of the fading marks on her arms. “Its… its part of being the princess of hell, you know? These sinners… they’re my life no matter how I look at it. All their pain and joy, I feel all of it.” 
“Then no matter what, I’ll stay by your side.” 
Charlie nodded and took a deep breath, hiding how much it still hurt to breathe. Even as the last of the injuries had faded away, it never went away completely. Each extermination taking away a piece of her, each year her life getting that much closer to its end. Still, she kept her smile as she pressed into Vaggie. “Thank you.”

Okay, so, looks like Google Docs might actually start implementing their rule about not sharing explicit content. (This includes writing.) How in the ever loving fuck am I supposed to back up 1,000+ stories that equate to 3 million+ words into fucking Microsoft Word????? And efficiently, for that matter?! HELP.

The reason endermen don’t like it when you look at them is because they communicate telepathically with one another by locking eyes! Humans are absolutely not designed to do this so when we look at them we are accidentally projecting all of our thoughts into them at the same time and it hurts :(

I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.
I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)
Wishlist on steam or visit the website to find out more mightymarbles.com

i know that a lot of people already know this, and that this may come across as condescending to those who do, but it has become increasingly clear to me that many people, particularly younger people, don't understand this but—
purity culture is more then just thinking sex is bad and evil and gross
purity culture is the belief that you can be corrupted, that there is an level of purity that can be tarnished by thinking or doing something deemed sinful or icky and that once you lose that purity, you are lesser then those who have not been "tainted". it's the belief that seeing, thinking, or doing something inherently nonharmful to others will fundamental change you in a negative way
purity culture is watching gory horror movies and being told that you are disgusting for finding it interesting to watch
purity culture is being told that violence in books, movies, games, etcetera will make you violent
purity culture is being told that wanting to hurt someone makes you bad, darkens your heart, whatever, even if they hurt you first, even if you have no plans to ever act on that desire
purity culture is being told to forgive your abuser, rapist, or even just people who have slighted and hurt you or else you will never fully heal, or that it makes you in someway bad too, or even just as bad as them
purity culture is being told that hating someone is equally to killing them, or wanting to kill them
purity culture is when people have intrusive thoughts that scare and harm them that make you uncomfortable, possibly even triggered, and telling them that they secretly want to do, have, etcetera, those things or else they wouldn't be thinking about it
purity culture is being told not to curse because it makes your mouth filthy, makes your heart filthy, makes you mean and bad and unpleasant
purity culture is being told that jealousy, anger, rage, disgust, and other stigmatized emotions are "bad" or "unhealthy" emotions
purity culture is refusing to let youths or even teenagers read or watch potential upsetting books, shows, movies, games, comics, etcetera out of fear they will act them out, become violent, possessed, unruly, etcetera
purity culture is being told that writing, drawing, or just in general making something dark and uncomfortable makes you gross and evil
purity culture is telling you that you have to portray bad things as bad or else people won't under that it's still bad, that it will normalize this bad thing, that people can be corrupted by it because they can't think for themselves whether this bad thing you portrayed as good is not actually good
purity culture is thinking bad things done for good reasons is just as bad as bad things done for bad reasons, like a mother stealing baby formula to keep her child alive versus someone stealing your pet because they wanted it are equally wrong
purity culture is being told that drinking, smoking, being addicted to drugs, unemployed, homeless, makes you lesser and filthy and corrupts you
purity culture is believing that someone wanting to do something bad, but choosing not to do it because they know it's bad, still makes them bad because they still want to do it
purity culture is thinking people getting tattoos, dying their hair, piercing, wearing make up, getting cosmetic surgeries secretly hate themselves and are disrespecting themselves
purity culture is so much more then just sex. it expands so much further then just christian/religious people and communities
purity culture is doing something bad, and when you try to seek atonement or correct the mistake, that it is unforgivable and will alway be a blight on you, even if others can "learn to look past it"
if you think that someone thinking or do something that does not cause any inherent harm makes them lesser, makes them bad, makes them gross, corrupts them or can lead them to corrupting others, you are pushing purity culture
this is coming from a women raised in an extremely sex negative christian household who spent years hating herself and her body due to sex based purity culture being pushed onto her from the age of six due to early puberty by the way, so don't try to gate keep purity culture on this post as only a religious and or sexual thing

I think the reason to wait was to make sure he had everything under control before telling anyone. Telling everyone immediately risks panic, which then will slow down construction for Amity. It also takes time to make sure troops are ready to help protect, you still have other grimm constantly coming into Mantle.. there seems to be a lot of issues to telling now versus wanting with no easy answer on which is best.
the more i think about it... was there a reason not to tell the citizen of atlas & mantle about salem the moment atlas forces were back on home soil? like, the plan was to repurpose amity into communication satellite to reveal everything to the whole world anyway, atlas included, so there isn't exactly a reason to hold off from that?
the only issue would be proof, but that's the same issue telling all of remnant has, so it's hardly a meaningful one, so... why wait? have everyone on same page, making things like the dust embargo and closing the borders slightly easier pills to swallow. continue the amity project in secret if a must to ensure its safety, but everything else? the military was called back for a reason, there's no reason to hold back information at that point; just rip the bandage and get it out of the way.
