#God is being born

[lesbianralzarek]

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it) #The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

I'm. Uh. Well. There is MUCH to unpack here. I have follow-up questions.

this isn't a horny post but. has buck even... seen a hard penis before that was not his own? like yeah yeah porn but. that's not really the same is it. not when you're not even looking. not when you don't even know that you want to look. like for all intents and purposes buck is completely virginal here and that's. ummm. that's a lot.

#like. oh. oh he's such a baby. he really is a BABY gay like sweet boy. you know nothing #you are about to get your entire perception of life and your body and your inner being absolutely fucking rearranged #especially the perception of his life like. for 30+ years he has lived in one world and it only took one kiss. one handful of seconds to no #just *change* that world but transport him to a completely different one. #everything is going to be different. from the way he approaches his politics (because it means something different when you're actually #fighting for your OWN rights) and the way he approaches his body like. and that's the real kicker for me is like #buck knows his body. he knows what he likes and this that and the other #but he doesn't actually KNOW his body because he doesn't know ALL the ways that it can feel #and all the ways that it can make HIM feel #he has not yet tasted the way his body can electrify him and render him undone and it's like #it truly is like he's becoming another person #and i know that's cheesy to say but this really is like being born again. #oh my god. i'm actively falling asleep. i don't know if this makes sense. you guys get the picture

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #not art #fhjy spoilers #its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical #like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real #like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this #yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out #meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring! #theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it #its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started #the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show #which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them #and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear #that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others #thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and #a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he #wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude #its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others #and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT #Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere #Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually #Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!

[ID: a digital sketch of Eda and Raine from the owl house. They're in their designs from watching and dreaming, pre epilogue. Raine holds out their arm for an injection (given by a disembodied hand and labeled "magic rabies shot") and Eda lays a hand on their shoulder and leans her head on theirs. She says "you're doing great Raine! how'd you get rabies tho?". Raine stares dead eyed at the viewer as a thought bubble connected to them shows Belos biting down on their arm. End ID]

I was gonna post a request today but I feel like it's gonna flop and this is funnier. So request tomorrow, Raine Whispers Rabies doodle today

#the owl house #toh #raine whispers #eda clawthorne #raeda #you guys have no clue the stupid shit i doodle when alone or in the company of my irl friends. this was partly their suggestion #you guys haven't even seen baldlos (he was just born today and also no one should see him ever) #anyway I'm so mad that THIS FUCKING DOODLE is the best raeda I've ever drawn. repulsive. why would god do that to me #anyway..enjoy #raine and hunter both being rushed to like. makeshift hospital tents after the finale on account of getting possessed #except when they're there they end up getting treated for completely unrelated shit #hunter had a growth spurt w/ insufficient stored energy/food in his body so he's kinda malnourished atm. raine has rabies (obv) #fun times all around #luz is perfectly healthy after death and resurrection tho! suspiciously healthy one might say...

Remembering the children killed by King Herod is traditional on December 28, and it's a story that has often been co-opted by anti-abortion activists who erase the context of the story—children killed out of fear by a ruling class. The holy innocents of Bethlehem take on new meaning for me today. I lift up this prayer in honor of all the recent holy innocents in that land and around the world, martyrs for the cause of existing, killed in fear that their witness will change the status quo.

We remember today, O God, the slaughter of the holy innocents of Bethlehem by King Herod. Receive, we pray, into the arms of your mercy all innocent victims; and by your great might frustrate the designs of evil tyrants and establish your rule of justice, love, and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (from The Book of Common Prayer)

#empires will always feel threatened by life. and god being born as a child came down firmly on the side of life

thinking about crowley and "my lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral" and "knows everybody's disapproval, i should have worshipped her sooner" and "if the heavens ever did speak then she's the last true mouth piece" and "the only heaven i'll be sent to is when i'm alone with you" and "my lover's the sunlight" and "i was born sick but i love it" and "there is no sweeter innocence then our gentle sin"

#he was born sick #shoveling dirt into my mouth are you kidding #holy fucking shit crowley looking at aziraphale and thinking if the heaven's ever did speak then she's the last true mouth piece #hozier said this song is about “reclaiming your humanity through the act of love” he literally said “it's essentially about sex” and how th #church teaches people to feel shame about sex and love #jesus fucking christ crowley finds absolution through his love and desire for aziraphale not through god or heaven but through this sin #i will not survive i am weak i am mmmmmmm #good omens #aziracrow #inneffable husbands are being inneffable again #crowley tag

after my long post rambling about the possibilities of eldest sibling lu ten it was only natural that i doodle him. He shouldve been at the club

#imagine iroh was sent out to the front lines periodically and ozai was ozai so it was just lu ten and ursa in the palace for a while #IM HAUNTED BY THE POSSIBILITIES #being raised by a dude like ozai is lit one of the only reasons why zuko and azula loved (???) their jobs. (pre redemption zuko at least.) #so that just makes me wonder if iroh was a decent dad then maybe lu ten hated his job. loves his family. loves his people. Hates his job #sitting in an 7:30 meeting with nobles thrice his age fantasizing about what hed be doing if he was born the son of a shoe maker or smthn #probably sleeping. God that sounds nice #lu ten #iroh #ozai #ursa #zuko #azula #atla #avatar the last airbender #alicias art

Love how L's birthday is Halloween, Misa's is Christmas, and Light's is the day before a leap day because sometimes god just refuses to feed his main character syndrome out of pure spite

#he might actually be the main character but if he has TOO many reasons to be god's specialest little boy the dn world might collapse under #the weight of his ego #hes probably soooo mad about not being born on a leap day. his rival and gf have special little holiday birthdays and he gets nothing #in an alternate universe Light's birthday is on Valentine's Day and he is Not happy about this either #dn #death note #light yagami #l lawliet #misa amane

its so so insane how dean has like. the huge fanbase he does. he is AWFUL!!!! i love him truly but im known for loving awful characters in fandoms im used to characters who act like him being viciously hated!!! and the only explanation i can think of is that hes played by jensen ackles (aka pretty white man). theres the fact that the narrative favours dean a lot when hes not actually right (a la s4) but thats not just it because dean is pretty clear-cut presesnted as getting morally greyer to the point of antihero territory in like s9 (where im at) at least. and Yet. he is unproblematic ally king to all??? supportive brother of the century??? Girl what???? do you know who dean winchester is? he is a controlling possessive clingy manipulative aggressive unstable thirty five year old who cant grow past his own damage and never really will because the narrative is perpetuated by the cycles he keeps perpetuating

#thing is like. the narrative corrupts dean under the guise of heroism and makes him worse and worse while it punishes sam under the guise of #justice and hurts him more and more #its like how their most defining moments of hell trauma respectively is dean torturing others and sam getting tortured #dean is The Good One and sam is The Bad One but the narrative pushes dean so much and makes him so angry he breaks and gets worse #and more 'villainous' (bad word). and the narrative hurts sam so much for the crime of being born the bad son that he just becomes more and #more of a victim. at the start of the show dean is michael and sam is lucifer. thats their destined roles. but by season nine dean is cain #and sam is abel. thats what it comes down to. Augh. #and they need to keep being codependent and resurrecting each other and needing each other forever and ever and getting worse and more #damaged in tandem because thats how the show even exists. meta! #and all this is soo like. because in supernatural the narrative is god. god is the author of their book series. Christ #what a show. its SO good despite not being good at all. #spn #oliver talks #supernatural #dean winchester #sam winchester #spn meta

I think we should put more emphasis on how Akutagawa's love is killing him. Descriptions of his feelings for Atsushi should draw from death imagery more. Atsushi's smile is devastatingly beautiful to Akutagawa. His laughter is lethal. Atsushi's touch feels scorching hot. When he's near, the air around becomes unbreathable. He hugs Akutagawa, and Akutagawa feels like his bones are being crushed under those new and overwhelming feelings. Akutagawa drowning in Atsushi's eyes, sinking in his embrace. Akutagawa's love for Atsushi is piercing, painful, Akutagawa's heart is wounded and bleeding. Akutagawa is smitten. All contributing to represent how Akutagawa's love for Atsushi is going to be the end for him. And it was! And he is doomed by his very love, by his very ability of feeling human emotions. Akutagawa's love for Atsushi is going to be the reason he dies.

#I just feel like #It's not just about Akutagawa being the unlovable creature #It's also about Akutgawa being the rabid and heartless monster who can't /love/ #He can't love. He wasn't born to love as much as he wasn't born to be loved #And that's why when he starts to love someone- that's the moment he has to die. Because he's not supposed to love someone. #That's not how his story is supposed to go. That's not how the world is. So he /must go/ #And that's one of the other elements that contribute to the narrative of Akutagawa as the tragic character™ #Narrative that itself contributes in killing him!! #God I love him #ryūnosuke akutagawa #sskk #shin soukoku #bsd #bungou stray dogs #mine #q. #If you saw this being posted on error yesterday: no you didn't #But due to posting it on error I lost the original date... #Should be around #24/12/22 #I suppose...

The recent explosion of Hazbin Hotel into popularity over the last 2 months is so surreal, did the court of public opinion not find viziepop guilty of just insane levels of bigotry as early on as 2013?? Like forgive me, i was in middle school, but i seem to recall a relatively widespread understanding that she was not a great person while the show was still in the earliest stages of pre-production, did i miss a memo???

#my stuff #like…not to be inflammatory but i think there’s a category of person into FNaF or Hazbin #who god intended to be a homestuck or bill cipher cosplayer and they were born in the wrong years #direct line between what ppl like aesthetically abt the stupid demons and the humble homestuck troll #direct line between every mf dressed up as that radio twink and bill cipher w varying personal amounts of troll traits #and your honor im no historian but i think the viziepop enjoyers are worse off. like spiritually. #hazbin imho is carried by being a catchy musical and blatant use of troll bait char design #without the music and with more stock characters i think more ppl would see the rot at the core peeking through
