#in the Bible

[bybdolan]

What research/projects are you working on atm bestie? Tell us more if you want, I’d love to hear 🤠

I am working on my bachelor's thesis!!! Which is very exciting. Since I am a theatre major, I'm writing it on Stephen Adly Guirgis' play The Last Days of Judas Iscariot (introduced to me by tumblr). Since the play deals a lot with guilt, judgement, forgiveness, and isolation, I am analyzing it as an AIDS allegory - meaning that I am looking at the play and literature on society's and art's reaction to the epidemic in tandem and figuring out what one can tell me about the other. I am a bit nervous that my main thesis is too wonky, however, there are many aspects I am very excited to explore further (e.g. the queering of Purgatory), and I appreciate the insight my research so far has given me into queer history and theory. 'm going to share one of my favorite quotes that I found so far. It is from "Sex, Death, and the Drama of AIDS" by George Newtown: "In his Literary Visions of Homosexuality (1983), Stuart Kellogg saw some of the earlier modern gay literature in terms of the universal theme of forbidden knowledge: to know oneself and one's own sexuality involves the blasphemy of having discovered the secrets of the gods; further, in imagining that one is free, one attempts to possess divine power. Kellogg's examples of gays becoming like the gods (like Odin, who gave his eye in order to obtain knowledge) detail the comparatively trivial gestures of a first sexual experience or a coming out."

#it's so beautiful and profound...... #and it reminds me of this idea of 'seeing/recognizing each other' being a euphemism for sex #in the bible #thank you for this question <3 #ask #sarcasm-and-glitter

Daily Devotional: Exodus 17:1-7

Moses strikes the rock and Horeb, and water springs forth. This could be miraculous, or as has been normative for God with Israel, He could have revealed the location of a hidden spring that was covered by a rock. There is a split rock in Horeb today, and many people want to claim that it is Moses’s rock. There is simply no way to know. Whatever spring Moses had available to him is no longer…

even if you're not a supernatural fan, if you've been on tumblr long enough you are, like, culturally. like cultural christianity in america except it's the cw's supernatural. you may never have watched an episode or set foot inside the tag but your regular life shuts down on their holidays and all of your world news is delivered through that point of view. something to think about

#while i'm making equivalences we could look at the comparable impacts of the bible on the western literary canon and supernatural on ao3 #edited to add: y'all i have never seen supernatural either that's the post #yes my brain has been rotted by this fandom but the call is coming from outside the house #that tumblr lyfe #containment breach #spn

what if i risked my life and put up (affectionate) with your unhinged monsterfucker brother to save you. and then revealed i was an expert in illegal black magic just so i could resurrect you from a pile of bones. and what if i later explored your body in the bath. and you laced our fingers together and offered to share your energy with me. and what if after all that… there was only one bed. what then.

update: it's been ANIMATED. gifs here

You keep telling yourself that Namari.

#dungeon meshi #Namari #Kiki Tansu #kikimari #lets fill that tag! #Originally I wanted to just draw the twins in their gnome outfits. #But then I spent 2 hours listening to Mika's Big Girl and I was like “You're so right singer-songwriter Mika. I have to draw Namari” #Anyways I've been practicing with diversifying body shapes as part of my art studies and I really enjoy it!!! #I can't wait until Tade shows up so I can draw more big girls. #By the way - since a lot of people have recently gotten into Dungeon Meshi and finished the manga #Please let me bring your attention to the Adventurers Bible! It's filled with so many extra character focused comics and lore! #We love canon bisexual Namari and the situationship she has with Kiki. #The manga itself doesn't really touch on romance in general but behind the scenes there is yearning. And leg pouches.

Daily Devotional Exodus 9:18-35

The gods of Egypt also had no control over the skies of Egypt. The Egyptian gods, Nut and Seth, are put to shame as Yahweh brings forth hail, thunder, and lightning in the most severe storm ever to have hit Egypt since it has been a nation. Like we have seen with the other plagues, Goshen, where the Hebrews live, is spared from the storm altogether. After God commands the storm to subside,…

I think one of the biggest tragedies of Laios & Falin and their relationship is how much his actions impact her life. But like. Specifically how much they WOULDN’T impact her life as much if they weren’t both stuck in such a shitty abusive situation.

This part of the Falin-tries-makeup daydream hour comic is what got me thinking about it again because truly it just... it seems like such a like an offhand comment that I'm sure Laios didn't mean to be cruel or anything. That's just like. A little kid not thinking about what they are saying. ESPECIALLY when the kid in question is Laios.

But man they depended on each other SO much as kids. Too much. It really feels like they didn't have any other source of positive reinforcement, or anyone else to share themselves with. So of course an offhand comment like that has a huge impact on Falin.

Or this little bit from one of the flashbacks:

This tears me apart. Do you think it tears him apart to think about? I think it does. I think Laios holds every small failure to care for Falin against himself.

And then there's the Bigger stuff. The way that him coping with his own trauma ended up impacting her.

Like his interest in monsters. Like him going to find a ghost, and accidentally revealing Falin's magic to the whole village in the process.

Like him needing to leave. And leaving her behind.

He shaped her life so much, and he carries so much guilt for it. And again, there should have been other people there to help. The same things that made Laios need to leave home are the things that made his leaving so hard on Falin. She ate alone after that. She shouldn't have had to eat alone just because Laios wasn't there.

She was 9 when he left for school, and he was 11.

Nine. And Laios feels like he failed her because he didn't stand by her through this better. As an eleven year old.

Both of these kids deserved so much better from the world.

#dunmeshi analysis #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #falin touden #laios touden #dungeon meshi spoilers #AND this isn't even getting into her leaving the academy & how much it seems like that was directly tied to how poorly he was doing #there's a comic in the adventurer's bible where marcille is like 'yeah she had a job lined up and everything' #and like. do you think he feels bad for that too #like he wrecked her life by leaving #and wrecked her life by showing up #what do you even do at that point. if you feel like a failed protector when you are away & and a burden when you return #unable to make yourself accept. unable to make yourself resist #Laios strongest moment is when he lets himself accept that. the contradiction of his life & his relationship with Falin #that he has to kill her to save her #as a small note this came out a little more focused on Laios' POV with this stuff but Falin's experience of it is v important to me too #didn't mean to sideline her but her feelings about stuff are more speculative and probably need a post of their own
