This massive friend is my first original design! He’s far from perfect (there’s a reason he’s only being photographed from the front), but after 11 years of knitting stuffies from patterns, I figured it’s about time I stretched my wings a bit.
Self-taught one work-in-progress at a time so that there’s some beginner stuff I don’t know and advanced stuff that I do know and I will forever be making silly beginner mistakes in complex projects that I’ll probably never complete :)
Remaking this Éowyn after 10 years of cosplay was so gratifying! The trim is all hand embroidered and I’m so proud of how well I was able to dye the matelassé to match the corset suede 😍
I had this thought strike me suddenly but have litterally no one i could think to ask in my life so i could only think to pose this to you.
Did Jesus have a sense of humor?
Did he laugh?
Did he ever tell a joke?
The canonical gospels don’t ever explicitly state that he did, but there are definitely religious writers who argue that some of his statements were intended to have a humorous or at least satirical impact
The text where we *do* see Jesus laugh, to like an unnerving degree, is the Gospel of Judas
So, as ever, the interpretation is up to you. The Bible doesn’t present a unified vision of God or Jesus. If it’s useful or comforting to you to believe in a Jesus who laughs, you should imo
whenever i'm trying to talk myself out of buying something i don't need i always hear my old russian professor's voice echoing in my head: "WHAT??? WILL YOU DIE THE RICHEST MAN IN THE GRAVEYARD?" and then i make an unwise financial decision
