#I was writing a fic about Finrod and Namo decided he and his existential crisis are going to take main stage #WHY Namo?! This isn't even the PURPOSE of the fic #It's supposed to be some crack humor not some philosophical treatise on the nature of free will #*walks off to grab theology and philosophy books grumbling under my breath and side-eying Namo* #(In reality I love exploring this - it's just not supposed to be what the fic is about) #writing #writing things #writing memes

the more time goes by the less interested i am in ever returning to the evangelical chuch

#to be clear!!! i do think there is truth in Christianity and i don’t plan on leaving the faith at all!!! #i keep meaning to visit this episcopal church near me #and continue all the reading an exploration i’ve done about theology #also i want to look into Catholicism #i’ve gotten to a point where religious deconstruction and reconstruction feels like an adventure — from a learning theology perspective #what’s NOT fun is realizing the impact that purity culture made on how i experience attraction #belle speaks #religious deconstruction #christianity

#can i be frustrated about church at you for a minute? #currently v high on Christian platitudes v low on theology #the new pastors have been here 3 months in which there has been 1 good sermon #they keep inviting people to come tell their testimony which is nice but not the focus of a whole church service imo #it's like. not bad but I'm hungry for something different that we're not getting #and idk if there's anything productive i can do or say other than just be annoyed about it #like. they invite people to speak before eucharist and it's still just platitudes? i could give five different #theological explorations of the eucharist each with three scripture readings and that's off the top of my head. like ok i get that this is #my special interest but there is SO MUCH to say and NONE of it is being said #maybe i will try to get in on speaking before eucharist myself #that might be more productive than complaining #rowena adventures #faith musings

Part of me wishes I could be normal. I'm well out of my teens and have left behind my toxic ex/my Darling and am in a healthier relationship. I've been processing a lot of stuff through therapy that has really helped me get closer to my family and set boundaries, make time for friends that I really love having around and feel much more safe and secure in the things around me. And yet despite all this recovery I still can't help but desire yandere fulfillment. I can't help but still want to be noticed, followed, stalked just for being myself. I want to be someone's entire obsession and I can't help daydreaming about being wanted so much that they start killing my loved ones just to make me scared and dependent on them. As much as I try to be healthy and normal I just want to feel the intense love I've always wanted.,💘

I greatly admire your journey towards healing, and I am glad your life has improved from your past experiences as a result. I don’t think it is inherently unhealthy to want to receive obsessive love. People have “types” that are sometimes not good for them and desires that society finds taboo: that is relatively common. You describe wanting to be wanted intensely to the point of isolation. Seen completely for who you are- desired despite seeing your bad and hurt (with the stalking). Who doesn’t want to be wanted, understood, special?

I understand how it is frustrating to not be “normal” though and wish to experience a love that is safer. Often I wish I didn’t have yandere tendencies either, but it is a part of me, just as your desires are a part of you/your life experience, in a way.

#your yandere #aidoneus asks #💘 anon #The first paragraph reads like a promotional speech so note that as a yandere I am very VERY biased #My main point is that contrary to much of Christian theology- thinking about sin isn’t a sin #There is no harm in wanting something unhealthy and that does not undermine your progress #There are also healthier ways to explore those wants—compromises—without ruining your mental health or going into unhealthy relationships #You mention currently being in a healthier relationship- perhaps that is something you can bring up/explore with them if you haven’t already

One of the things that annoys me the most about the MCU is how Disney's need to profit keeps kneecapping any potentially interesting theological developments in the story.

"The Norse gods are real!" Is a record scratching, astounding moment that throws reality up into a spin.

But Disney sells primarily to culturally monotheistic countries that get preeetty censor happy if you show to people of the "wrong" gender presentation kiss on screen, nevermind casually dismantling one of the cornerstones of modern theological dogma in large parts of the world. (But not universal. Remind yourself, forcefully, that monotheism isn't mainstream world wide. India and Japan, to name a few, are right fucking there, so really check yourself if you hear "polytheistic" and immediately thought of white wiccans being edgy tools on the internet.)

Literally every story is about super human, super powered creatures that fit the definition of godly or at least threaten to revise the cosmology of their in story universe...

And then they immediately roll it back, tone it down, make it BORING.

Thor and Loki aren't gods, lol, they're aliens! They can still die and it's meaningless when they do because it's not the death of a god, its just a dude that our primitive ancestors thought was divine because they didn't understand science!

Thanos is not the embodiment of ontologically self destructive divinity rebeling against his own role in the larger cogwork of the universe and desperately in love with the concept of Death because as an immortal god it is the one thing that will always be outside his grasp and understanding, and his tragedy isn't the other side of eldritch divinity, where the mundanity of life and it's ephemeral beauty are completely incomprehensible to him so all his efforts to court Death are doomed to failure from the start. Nah, fam. He's an ecofascist terrorist caricature with staggeringly tasteless implications in late 2010s, early 2020s, as the world is literally on fire and efforts to stop that from happening ARE being called ecofascist terrorism. Also he's like, a shitty dad and a caricature of the ultimate colonizer. But like, purple, so no white people get their feelings hurt.

Yeah.

#shut up rie #i like precisely two marvel movies #iron man 1 #and guardians of the galaxy 1 #and i cant even watch the second one now #without feeling utterly revolted by chris pratts bigotry #everything else is the steuggle of writers trying desperately to SAY something poignant #and the studio censoring division stopping them before they do #because china #sure #but also #because american conservatives shit themselves at the notion of any theology but theirs being explored in a narrative #and these are the idiots who took christian theology and somehow came out the otherside with prosperity gospel #so #you know #theology isnt their strong suit

johnny would not have been a religious christian. LIKE he would believe in god but he would find no comfort in him at all imo

i rmr a panel saying that johnny believed that his fate was going to catch up to him. this isnt what a person who believes in a benevolent god would believe. the god who he envisions is cruel and allows evil to exist. he is angry at his god. and he believes that the sins that he has committed will catch up with him. his god will seek repentance from him through punishment. his god would not allow him to be happy to the end.

i think johnny would think of god more of as a bystander guilty of all atrocities and tragedies or like as a voyeur of human suffering. bc in his mind why else would his life be so riddled with tragedies (brother dying, him being shot, rinas illness, etc etc). it would also explain his self hatred bc he constantly believes that hes not good enough to turn himself around and fight against fate.

idk where i was going with this but yeah those are just my thoughts after reading a fic that characterized johnny has having absolute faith in his god who he thought would save him which i, the johnny joestar expert, thought was wrong but anw

#cin.txt #not me thinking about erm theology bc of sbr #LMFAOOOO #im not even religious myself but i find it extremely interesting #its the anthropogist in me i suppose #ANW #i like exploring what the sbr charcetrs relationship with their god would be like #(for a fic that im currently writing rn which may or may never get published teehee <3) #but anw #if johnny met god he would fucking yell and shout at him and maybe try to beat him up even tho hes god LMFAO #omfgggg the fic i read tho #johnny is quotes syaing god loves me and thats what keeps me going #JOHNNY WOULD NOT SAY THAT

A Discussion Between A Pharaoh And His Ba

a/n: ba = eternal soul a.k.a cam accounts; ka = the current life/incarnation a.k.a the player; akh = a ka who has passed judgement and become one of the ancestors; the kingly ka = a soulspirit of Horus that each king bears and makes them half-divine.

-

The season was coming to a close, and weariness sunk into my bones. The kind of tiredness you can't shake, that eats away at you. My hands refused to build anymore; the very thought of finishing one last room was beyond them. I'd grown very used to feeling like this. The old man had always struggled a little, but this felt … different. Perhaps the Pharaoh's magic had exacerbated things, I don't know. All I know is that the sunset was closing in, and perhaps, there was a different fate waiting for me.

Did I want to know the answers? Well, probably not, but when you have a curious mind, that isn't really something you consider. So, perhaps against my better judgement, I took counsel with my ba, my eternal soul, sitting in the room I would never finish, seeking some resolution.

He looked like me in many ways, except for the much larger wings instead of arms, and the clawed bird feet. He carried scrolls under his wings, and he didn't speak so much as have words emanate and vibrate through the air into my mind. He looked at me with pity, though I would never quite understand why.

You fear death, were his first words. But why fear death when you will simply respawn? You are essentially immortal. Death means nothing but a temporary inconvenience. So why does your heart falter?, my ba said.

He was right, of course. Was it even death anymore? It never really felt like death. Just a large chunk of pain that faded fairly quickly after respawn. There were no penalties for it. You never stayed dead. But I'd come to understand death very differently this season. Perhaps it was the Pharoah's powers, or the presence of the Kingly Ka burning bright in my soul, I don't know. Certainly having all the old Kings on speed dial was a strange experience. I had only become Pharaoh for the theming of the pyramid base. I never expected to get the power and legitimacy that came with it. Those old kings spoke of so many things, and kept saying they'd be waiting for me once it was time for me to go West.

Me? Join the Kingly Ka? Hah! No way. Not me. I'm just some guy, I'm no king. And yet… The idea that the Pharaoh would die, no, the fact that he would whether I liked it or not? Yeah, it scared me. Permanent death is scary! No one ever just… died and never came back. We always come back. Which death would be my last? Would this be the last world I ever played on? Would this be the last time I saw my friends?

The time for this ka is coming to a close. A new ka is soon to be born, my ba said.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked.

This ka will be judged. This ka will become an akh. The ba will manifest a new ka. The old man's time is over. The fountain of youth is calling, my ba said.

"I'm going to become someone else? Is that what you're saying? I'm not sure I like that idea," I said.

The old man was already someone else. He served you well, but his time is up. There is nothing further he can do for you, my ba said.

"Wait, so I spend all this time building the Great Pyramid and this is how I'm rewarded? I just become someone else? Nah, no way. You have no power to do that to me," I said.

And yet, here I am. I am eternal. Death does not touch me. I will see all the lifetimes you lead whether you are aware of me or not, my ba said. Death beckons to the old man. It's okay. You can stop now. Your weary body can rest, my ba said.

I didn't reply as I took in the scope of his words. I did feel very tired and old, that's for sure. But the idea of just becoming someone else scared me. I didn't like to not be in control of that. I already knew who I was pretty well by now. I didn't want to have to do that all over again in a new body.

You can fight it if you want, but you'll have no choice in the end. The West beckons. It's time. Make your peace and come into the arms of the gods. All Pharaohs die, and you are not an exception, my ba said.

"But where will I go when I die? Into the void? Will I just be trapped there? I don't know if I want to be trapped in the void!" I said.

Your heart will be weighed against the feather of Ma'at, and that will decide your fate. Could be tricky, we both know the evils you've done in the name of greed. Your hands are stained with blood. Let's hope you have done enough good to balance out the bad, my ba said.

The Vex hissed angrily at my ba's accusations, but he was right. If I was brutally honest, getting other Hermits to fight a war for us and then selling them the weapons in which to do so, was definitely not up there with a good thing to have done. The Vex, too, were hardly nice. That's when I realised I might be in some kind of trouble, and in my panic, returned to my consciousess, not wishing to hear my ba's counsel on that particular point.

I shouldn't have asked. I should have just remained ignorant. Let things pan out however they wanted to pan out. But now that I know, I feel helpless. Ba, please, spare me from the Lake of Fire. Heart, speak true and do not betray me! Gods, spare me from the jaws of Ammit!

Oh, I really shouldn't have asked. I have had no sleep for a week, too scared to go to bed in case I never wake up. But the season's winding down fast, there's not much time left. The sun sits just above the western horizon. And yet, I am paralysed with fear. I will put my affairs in order while I still can, but… I didn't build a tomb in this pyramid for nothing. The guardian I left in there may become my executioner. The old man will rest here for all eternity. Who knows who I will become? Only my ba knows that, and I'm not sure I want to know this time.

fun fact about me if i'm interested in a show/book for long enough i will inevitably wind up making a self-insert type oc in my mind

#black sails oc is some bitch who knows flint and thomas post canon. in this version of the story obv they both lived and then escaped #they talk/argue about theology with thomas and silver shows up bc of course he does theyre like well theres clearly even more to you guys' #pasts than i thought but thats your business #this is all stuff i started imagining like 2 days ago there is not much to it yet and there may never be #mostly i just wanted to start exploring what thomas's opinions and goals would be after everything #i think he's not as angry a person as flint or miranda (or at least hes more idealistic) so i think it'd be a different response than they #had but he'd still hate a lot of things now that he didn't before #i dont actually have any thoughts beyond that i havent gotten there yet #me.txt

Scholasticism in Medieval Paris

Scholasticism: The Gothic school of philosophy in which scholars applied Aristotle’s system of rational inquiry to interpret religious belief.  The University of Paris was the center of scholarship and teaching in the Gothic age. The professors developed Scholasticism, a philosophy that sought to prove the Christian faith using Aristotle’s reasoning. Thomas Aquinas was the greatest advocate and…

I swear Christianity (and islam!! and islam!!!!!! PLEASE LOOK AT ISLAM!!!) has so many themes that can be esxplored in art and literature but they choose the same Noah, Moses, David, and Jesus stroylines (or the good ol modern christians puritan plot of atheist bad christ good) that Im so ready to snap back with catholic blasphemy.

#'oh but you can't draw anything of the prophets in islam!' you ever heard of refrences?? allegories?? #the quoran also has a lot of added information from the other prophets of judaism and christianity. #in the same way new indie works are starting to reference agnosticism or the book of enoch others could also reference prophets by #using them as inspirations for characters in other stories. #side rant but Iblis seems more of a cool character to explore than lucifer. mainly because The Devil #in chritianity is vague and also a metaphor for all encompassing evil #whereas Iblis can be seen as Evil but still have more than just a textbook defintion of Evil. #One ource states he asked directly to disway adam from Allah. #other sources state than he does have free will. as any other jinn. to be neutral or good or evil. but mainly chooses to turn people #away from Allah. #He is also more likely to be in hell whereas The Satan from the bible is more just trhown into a lake of fire. his second death. #and God knows what the heck any of the Apocalypse is supposed to mean #so yeah Iblis. and other jinns. I need more media (mainly western media) to focus on these little guys. #omg and yeah #THEY ARENT EVEN FALLEN ANGELS so the whole theology of whenever or not angels can revel is just #thrown into the lake of fire
