Is it ok if i ask why not to use golems in fantasy stuff
Sorry im not very educated in religeon
Uh you should probably ask actual Jewish people about this. From what I've seen most Jewish people don't seem to like it 'cus golems like come from Jewish culture/folklore and golems are misappropriated a lot/used without acknowledgement or respect to their culture so yeah. Idk, if I'm wrong or forgot something can any like actual Jewish people please chime in on this?

“Every single person, object or experience was seen as a replica, a pale shadow of a reality that was stronger and more enduring than anything in their ordinary experience but which they only glimpsed in visionary moments or dreams. By ritually imitating what they understood to be the gestures and actions of their celestial alter-egos - whether gods, ancestors or culture heroes - premodern folk felt themselves to be caught up in their larger dimension of experience.”
Fields Of Blood (Religion And The History Of Violence) by Karen Armstrong

Tbh I'm pretty happy with just how fast my dreams went from like a 6/10 to an 11/10 on detail and length and insanity now that I havent smoked weed in about a week. I also have em like every night instead of like every other or every 3rd.

A series of headcanons as well as alternative endings Jess and I made for Harry Potter last nights on FaceTime @fangirl-is-my-religeon
1. this one is a little basic, but poor Jess might have lost her mind knowing it’s not canon, Harry as defence against the dark arts professor. He never wanted to fight, leave him doing what he cared about - teaching how to protect
2. Ron becomes an auror, better yet, head of the aurors But we expand upon that. We know that he always wanted to stand out amongst his siblings, to have a strong title so he too could feel important. When Harry is also an auror, it reinforced Ron as Harry’s sidekick - I do mention that I did originally find it cute that they’d be working together but it never lets Ron reach his original goal. To stand out and be recognised as an individual.
And perhaps his goals changed, his family was the thing he cared about and treasured. He is head of the aurors and it’s known that he is quite a handful of awards. On his desk sits one in particular, when asked he says it’s his best prize yet. A cheap Muggle #1 dad trophy. He’s an individual but he cares about those around him more than he could ever care for his own success
3. Harry and Neville room together as professors. They spent years sharing a room together at Hogwarts and Neville has an understanding of the nightmares and ptsd Harry presumably faces. So they cram their beds to oppisite sides of one room so that they can be there for each other because damn Neville isn’t just going to be fine after the war and everything he suffered. Harry spends some nights at his own home, and Ginny is often accepted into Hogwarts for some nights.
4. Luna comes and cares from Neville, and every weekend she’ll go with him to visit his parents. Alice looks into her eyes a lot but will never do much. But one day when Luna is passing through the place alone, she drops by to greet Alice and Frank, and whilst she does so Alice walks up to her and drops a wrapper into her hand - accepting Luna as family.

Don't Tell Him It's Me

Monty Swann is Hollywood's hottest new thing - a good kid who's all too aware that his ascendance has resulted in the studio's biggest star, Steve Whale, being shoved aside and into sexless uncle roles so the studio can push Monty. But with his smothering but loving stage mom shoving him into the spotlight, Monty forces himself to keep his head down and do his best.
That's one thing Clarinda, Steve's niece, is determined not to do. Outraged that Wolf Pictures has all but retired her Uncle, she takes a risk and sneaks onto the set of Monty's latest picture to give him a piece of her mind. That, unfortunately, leads to Monty losing a piece of his - head clonking against the trunk of a palm tree thanks to a shove from Clarinda, Monty's left with a temporary case of amnesia - and only the vague memory of a beautiful girl hovering over him to guide his actions.
When Monty insists that Clarinda - "the red-headed angel", as he calls her - is his girlfriend, she doesn't fight against the impression. Now her Uncle Steve is back on the lot, Clarinda's star is rising, and Monty and Clarinda are falling in love over milkshakes and games of checkers. But what will happen when Monty gets his memory back?
