this’ll make sense to maybe five people but this scene is a reference to the b*ble verse chr*stians throw around that says “the heart is deceitful above all else”

which is also a verse that is very commonly thrown at gay chr*stians to make them doubt what they know about their sexuality

is sh*dow w*aver just an e*angelical youth pastor?? it’s more likely than you think

ALSO that verse is a cool lens to look at the heart of etheria through bc everyone’s like “we have to destroy the heart” when really they needed to set it free!!!! the heart wasn’t evil it was trapped! the magic needed to be let out!
