That doesn’t mean we aren’t responsible for our actions but it DOES mean we have to understand morality in the context of people’s varied experiences AND asks for the possibility that if their environment is improved, their ability to function as moral agents also improves.Irma of Buelen: The Arrow That Ignited a WarĪfter the fall of Nohrian King Rembrandt by his brother, his sons enlisted the support of House Buelen to quell their uncle Oswald’s uprising. I like The Good Place because the whole show has since day 1 been predicated on the idea that black and white moral judgements made in a vacuum are bullshit, and that moral choices are informed by things outside our control, whether that be education, behaviour modelling, unfair treatment or mental health issues. That could easily be really insulting, in a sort of ‘just get over it’ way, but the idea isn’t that they change solely because they decide to be better - all six of them change because their circumstances change and give them the OPPORTUNITY to be better, because they’re finally given the support system they lack.

I’d created a glyph for the word “joy” in High Valyrian and based the sound of that word on Jessie’s name. I’d never planned on getting a tattoo in my life, but we came up with an idea that meant a lot to both of us. That inscription featured her name glyph: Ao jessives ñuhys iksā, which means “You are my joy”. When I proposed to Jessie, I gave her a ring with a Valyrian inscription inside. We started working together in 2019 on Freeform’s Motherland: Fort Salem, and I’ve wanted to work with no one else ever since. I’ve known Jessie for ten years at this point, but our lives led winding paths that eventually led us to each other. The High Valyrian adjective jessie “joyful” was coined in honor of my fiancée, Jessie Sams, and the glyph was made thinking of her.
