If You Are @ed, Do You Need To Respond?

If you are @ed, do you need to respond?

Not at all! To @ someone is simply to open the door to potential conversations, or to let someone know about a post you made, or saw. If you are @ -ed, you don't need to respond unless you want to. There is no more obligation in being @ -ed, than there is in responding to a topic of conversation in real life.

The primary difference is that in real life you might need to change the subject, whereas online you simply need not respond.

I personally don't expect responses to @ -s or asks, it's always nice, but there's a number of reasons why someone might not answer and I only ask if I think it was because tumblr dropped my ask. Which happens a decent amount, but otherwise I'm not concerned.

Obviously I can only speak for myself, but if someone does @ you, you are not obligated to respond.

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

In your opinion, what do you think ran through Chase's mind when Omi snuck all the way to his castle alone to break Chase out of the Sphere of Yun?

Oh gosh. This one made me think. 😆

Okie. So, I figure there are 4 main avenues Chase's mind could have gone down.

1. He was actually already expecting Omi. There's a moment where it looks like he looks at Omi right after he's been captured. That could have been him trying to cue Omi that this would be a good time to repay the favor. It would also be an easy explanation for why he wasn't surprised by Omi coming.

2. He wasn't surprised by Omi coming, but he was gratified by it. It would indicate a preference for Chase over Jack. The fact that Omi clearly snuck away to rescue Chase would also indicate that Omi is loosening his morals a little bit. Not enough to even remotely think he's coming to Chase's side, but I think Chase would definitely see it as a good first step to making his protégé heylin.

3. Chase actually was surprised, but he's been around for 1500 years; no way he doesn't know how to hide that. I don't think he cares to, because why bother hiding from insignificant insects, but I do think he wants to be put together in front of Omi. (Probably look cool too.)

However this would be a good surprise, and Chase is perfectly capable of rolling with the various turns life likes to dish out.

4. He wasn't surprised, and he was glad about it. Because Omi coming to rescue Chase shows a significant portion of his character, regardless of if it's because he was simply returning the favor, or because of how Jack was pummeling them. And the more knowledge Chase has of Omi, the easier it (theoretically) would be to turn him.

In all of these scenarios, while I think that Chase had already determined that he wanted Omi by his side, this episode twigs me as the moment that Chase decides that he won't stop until Omi takes his rightful place by Chase's side.

That he views Omi as his: his protégé, his to-be co-ruler.

I honestly think that Chase initially makes Omi his second in command because Omi is a kid (not to mention good), and not actually ready to be a ruler. And that the reason he made Omi into a cat was so that he could ensure Omi stayed by his side.

Once Omi is fully heylin, of his own choices rather than the ying yo yo, and he had actual life experience, I do think Chase would have changed him back into a human and that he would have had Omi take his place by Chase's side rather than as his second.

So yeah, while other episodes established that Chase wanted Omi to rule the world by his side, I think this is the episode that establishes why Chase never tries to kill Omi. Even when it becomes apparent that Omi isn't gonna join him. (At this time at least. )

I liked the contrast of Chase knocking Omi out but making sure to catch and hold him gently in your fic! Reminds me of how Chase reached out to take Omi's hand and pull him back to his feet after their spar in The Evil Within.

Thank you! 😊 I'm glad you liked it!

Oh, that was a good scene in XS. 😆

Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear What man shall do unto me. Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. But I beseech you the rather to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.

Amen. And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. Grace be with you all. Amen. Written to the Hebrews from Italy by Timothy.
