#to the parable of the donuts

[julio-claudian-saberface]

There seems a tension in Christian thought between "Jesus was judicially murdered by people who were bad and wrong" and "Jesus saved the world by his destined sacrifice ergo trying to stop him from being murdered would make one bad and wrong."

#amateur theology #bible fandom #this is applicable to everything from mrs pilate #to the parable of the donuts

so remember

t h i s post

I recently overcame it while scrolling down your blog (I totally wasn't looking for some of my old ideas to bring back to life pfffffff totally) and I just had a thought

What if we switched the roles?

The Narrator — aka, Pollux — has the Lovebug virus and Stanley is completely normal. The same thing that happened in the post happens in this too, but with the roles switched, I can't help but feel like it hits harder (especially considering your AU)

(I love your AU ok it's so creative)

If you acknowledge that Stanley basically did everything in his power to make Pollux sentient, wouldn't that mean that him losing the very thing keeping him that way to be a great loss? All that work, down the drain, in one fell swoop — and Stanley didn't even get to say goodbye.

Imagine the devastation he felt — the overwhelming guilt, and he won't even be punished for it. Imagine having to accept that all of your work is just, gone. No countdown. No "3, 2, 1." It's gone. Imagine going through the worst depression of your life while the only one who was there for you doesn't even understand anymore. Imagine having to live through what Pollux once was without him even knowing that his whole being was permanently reset.

And the worst part was that Stanley loved him back.

Imagine the only person you've ever been with to fade away in the blink of an eye. Imagine that certain person not even being in their normal state at the time — Pollux was infected by the Lovebug virus, after all.

And imagine his last words being I love you.

Imagine having to look back at those memories and realize just how stupid you were being by lashing out. Imagine being Stanley, whose last and only memory of the man he loved being one where he isn't even himself.

Imagine being Stanley, where your story ends in a hiatus.

And in the end, there was nothing true to finish the narrative.

There's no goodbye

only a scripted confession.

anyway have a nice day and I hope you enjoy your new brainrot which I totally won't joining you in hahshdhdhgd!!

— 🅰️non || 06/13/2023

I'm fine. I'm normal about this.

Anyways.... I'd like to give you some advice if you do want to join me in my Trigun phase.

I am currently in the process of reading the manga, but I have watched both anime series and the movie. So here's what I recomend.

I don't think it super matters is your read the manga first or anything, but it is important that you watch the 1998 Trigun anime before you watch Trigun Stampede (2023). The movie takes place somewhere in the middle of the 1998 anime so you can watch it after the anime if you want or halfway though, it doesn't matter.

The order I went with was pretty much this. I've just started the manga.

Trigun 1998 (show)

Trigun: Badlands Rumble (movie)

Trigun Stampede (show)

Trigun (manga)

Trigun Maximum (manga)

Warning: while this fandom does seem silly goofy (which I'm not saying it isn't silly goofy. It is very silly goofy, however) it will make you cry. The further you get in the sadder it gets. Vash needs a break, therapy, and some donuts. So, there's that warning.

As for where to watch and read it, I used zoro.to to watch both shows and the movie and am using trigunmanga.com to read the manga. The legality of it all is pretty ehhhh, but I don't really have the money buy physical copies of the manga even though I really want to.

Hope this helps! Imma go die from the brain damage Trigun and The Stanley Parable have inflicted upon me ♡

Lunch Date

Characters: Arunae, Fledge

Word Count: 1,505

Context: Arunae and Fledge are somewhat recent defects of the Alternian fleet. They currently reside on a neutral space station known as Parable that orbits the star Paem.

---

There are three star systems within a standard jump from Paem. Most cruisers were only capable of a single jump before needing to recharge; the power to do so was reserved in a bank intended for emergencies. Charging the reserves for a jump was nearly as expensive as the ship itself, and most batteries would lose their capacitance after a single discharge of that magnitude, necessitating replacement. It was unfortunately true: no battery worked as well as a helmsman. It would cost fortunes to consistently travel by cruiser only using batteries, and inviting a stranger to join a party of two was, to Fledge, just as costly.

It was good, then, that she could power jumps without either. It was equally good that Arunae wasn’t privy to, nor particularly interested in, the specificities of space travel mechanics. She knew how to independently gimbal the rear thrusters to donut tightly enough around the spires of Parable to make Fledge forget for brief moments that she had ever been anywhere else, and that was plenty. So long as neither of them ever discussed the specifics of their travel, it would stay that way.

Every so often they stole away to a colony for a few days. This perigee, it was Thalamos-7. The planet had established itself within the empire long ago through mining. Between the sparse new-looking towns were mining camps, and between those were swaths of land peeled back to expose the shells of the planet's long scooped-out insides, now scattered throughout the galaxy. The canyons revealed labyrinths of caves containing reserves of the planet's remaining clean water. In the past few centuries the local population had been making an effort to restore the landscape and reestablish the colony as a place with a viable future, rather than a husk to discard. Land that could not be repaired would become civil developments.

The efforts seemed to be moving along well, all things considered. The brochures and websites Fledge and Arunae had poked through seemed to think so; they touted newly lush rolling hills, and exotic fauna and flora carefully selected to remake its home within gashes left by the empire. Their website described its vistas as unique and speaking. The greenery crawling over the rough but methodically slashed crevices demonstrated en large “the same sublime perseverance of a scar.”

It wasn’t the sort of poetry Fledge cared for. The beauty lines that wrapped their way around downtown were convincing enough for her.

The cafe she and Arunae sat outside now was called “The Copper Street Mealblock”. A short menu existed only on the inside walls in neat chalk handwriting. There were potted plants in the windows, and the brightly colored chairs were comfortable despite how they looked. The food came out in plastic baskets lined with brown paper. After lunch they were going to take a ride beyond the town to see if the photographs were being generous.

“Kind of hoping they’re overselling it; I’d love to dig Runner’s fins into the side of a quarry. Bet it’d be like a huge skatepark.” Arunae had already annihilated a sandwich and was picking away at her side.

Fledge snorted at the idea as she moved a fork through her salad. “Couldn’t we do that on any moon?”

“Sure, but no moon is within ten minutes of a place with fries like these.” Arunae waved around an example before violently sacrificing it to her maw to join nearly a full basket of its brethren.

“I told you to get a large.”

“And you were so right.” She shook her head solemnly, and Fledge tilted hers in sympathy.

The teal swung her clawed arm over her chair and gazed out at the street. “Imagine living here, though, in one of these little town-hive apartments, coming down to a cafe for breakfast and then, I dunno, going spelunking.”

Fledge raised an eyebrow. “You want to go spelunking?”

“Maybe! I’ve never been. But we could, and that’s what matters. What else was it they had here?” She patted herself for a pamphlet she quickly realized she left in the ship. “Base jumping? Sky diving? Shit, we could watch a movie. A new one, even. In a movie theater.”

“Not sure I could handle that kind of excitement,” Fledge joked.

“It’ll be a far cry from my tablet and your little med-bay bunk, but I think you could handle it.”

The cerulean flashed a smile. Arunae consumed another fry.

“Seriously though, what do you think?”

“About going to the movies?”

“No, about moving here, living here.”

“You make every place we go sound nice.” Fledge’s fork played with a little tomato.

“Any of them stand out, though?”

Fledge shrugged her shoulders.

“Maybe we could take a lease out somewhere. Try living on a planet for more than a week. See what it actually feels like, y’know?”

“Maybe.” Fledge’s fork poked through the tomato. 

“I know you don’t expect us to stay on Parable forever.”

“No.” She turned the tomato on her plate. “Of course not.” she added.

“So?”

“So--” she set the fork down and crossed her arms over her chest. “-- we’re both defects. I don’t know.” She let out a breath. “I feel like it’s kind of risky to settle down anywhere, especially somewhere that’s Empire controlled, even a small colony like this one.”

“I’ve been thinking about that, actually.”

“What do you mean?”

“About them finding us.”

Fledge glanced down at the table.

“It’s been six perigees, right?” Arunae began to explain, “Parable is safe, sure, but it’s not secret. Six perigees, and not a whiff of the fleet?” She gesticulated with a fry. “I honestly don’t think they’re looking for us. I wouldn’t be surprised, either; I mean, me, I’m half metal, half liability and you--”

Fledge’s eyes shot up at her. Arunae was still finding her words.

“--Well, we know they didn’t treat you right.”

Fledge sank again, and stayed quiet.

Arunae tightened her lips. Seated across the table from her, Arunae saw herself: fickle and afraid, single tethered and constantly gauging the ropes girth. She grabbed at her memory for Cyther’s words; what would she have said? She always seemed so sure. She could spin ideas into action like threads through a spindle and sweep Arunae up with her. It seemed so stupid, mulling over townhives when Cyther was planning raids in a night.

Was it possible Cyther wasn’t sure back then? Perhaps she had convinced Arunae in order to convince herself. Maybe she had just gotten good at it, and Arunae got better at agreeing, until Cyther didn’t need her to anymore.

Arunae didn’t want to pretend. She wasn’t sure the fleet wasn’t looking for them, and gauging what felt like home wasn’t really in her repertoire. However Fledge was feeling, she clearly wasn’t keen to make another life changing decision anytime soon. Maybe leaving that day was all she had in her, and Arunae couldn’t argue with that.

What was it that had let Arunae go, the day she left for the fleet? The day she told Cyther she was leaving? Had she truly believed she could make a change from within the fleet? Fuck, she wanted it back. Whatever it was, she wanted it back. She wanted to take Fledge’s hand and lead her somewhere beautiful, unafraid for her, gesture out to the world and tell her “Isn’t this great? We could be happy here.” She wanted to mean it. She couldn’t.

“Could we not talk about this in public,” Fledge finally peeped. “It makes me nervous.”

“Oh, yeah,” Arunae accepted Fledge’s request to cut the conversation short. She ate her last fry and sat at the impasse she had created.

“I know—” Fledge piped up again,  “—we have to talk about it. I know we can’t be there forever. We’ll talk about it, I promise. I just need to think.”

“It’s cool. It’s not like we have to decide now.”

Fledge nodded and stared out into the street.

After a moment, Arunae reached her hand across the table to hold Fledge’s.

“I have a different important question to ask you.”

“What?” she looked to her.

Arunae met her gaze and squeezed her hand gently.

“Can I have some of your fries?”

Fledge snorted. She took her hand back to nudge her basket towards the other. “Go crazy.”

As she watched her dear friend make fries disappear with feverish abandon, Fledge’s mind swam with thoughts. Was it really possible that the fleet wasn’t looking for her? Why wouldn’t they be? Was she would be too much trouble? For the first perigee on Parable she couldn’t sleep. She had spent days awake, watching the door of the apartment, waiting for a fleet official to come busting through to take her back. She thought the weight in her stomach during those hours was fear, but now, she wasn’t so sure. This, the concept that no one was ever going to come for her, that no one was even looking, stirred her insides. It was much more terrifying.

[eyes-of-mercy]

Doomsday is unusually quiet today. Quiet, and very clearly angry. She invited An out to help her fuck up a dead building because, why not? She's pissed off, down one soul, and grieving heavily. What better way to express all that than by torching what is essentially a dead body? She already went through and cleared it of anything living that she could find, so now the rest of it gets to go up in smoke.

The ghost comes flying out of the building holding a toilet that she just ripped out of the floor, drops it on the ground next to An, and then goes back inside. Moments later fire is bursting out every window on the little building that used to be a doughnut shop.

Needless to say, no sprinkled doughnuts will be served today.

@parables-for-days

An glances at the toilet just dropped off in front of her and then back at the building where Doomsday had disappeared off to. She kicks the lid shut and takes a seat on it, pulling out a pack of candy cigarettes as she makes herself comfortable. She sticks one in her mouth and watches the candy dust blow out from its tip while she waits for her friend to return.

Something happened, this much is clear. When she first met Doomsday, she could sense the simmering rage underneath her curt sentences and decided to hold off questioning for now.

She wanted to give Doom her space to express her feelings but now that they've practically destroyed Jimmy's Jelly Doughnuts (the 'o' in doughnuts replaced by the classic pink donut with colorful sprinkles) it was time to ask her what's up. Give her the opportunity to vent, if she has to.

Once Doomsday emerges from the burning building, Anastasia offers her a candy cigarette.

"I'm guessing you didn't wake up today and realized you hated Jimmy and his donuts with a fire-y, burning passion."

donuts (part 2)

we pick up our story again where jason has just attempted to enter the room and wasn't greeted very friendly.  here we go.

-------

steve picked up his head and said, "no, let him come."

professor christianson said, "you realize that if jason comes in you will have to do ten pushups for him?"

steve said, "yes, let him come in.  give him a donut."

dr. christianson said, "okay, steve, i'll let you get jason's out of the way right now.

jason, do you want a donut?"  jason, new to the room hardly knew what was going on.

"yes," he said, "give me a donut."

"steve, will you do ten pushups so that jason can have a donut?"  steve did ten pushups very slowly and with great effort.  jason, bewildered, was handed a donut and sat down.

dr. christianson finished the fourth row then started on those visitors seated by the heaters.  steve's arms were now shaking with each pushup in a struggle to lift himself against the force of gravity.  sweat was profusely dropping off of his face and, by this time, there was no sound except his heavy breathing.  there was not a dry eye in the room.

the very last two students in the room were two young women, both cheerleaders, and very popular.  dr. christianson went to linda, the second to last, and asked, "linda, do you want a doughnut?"

linda said, very sadly, "no, thank you."

professor christianson quietly asked,  "steve, would you do ten pushups so that linda can have a donut she doesn't want?"  grunting from the effort, steve did ten very slow pushups for linda.

then dr. christianson turned to the last girl, susan.  "susan, do you want a donut?"  susan, with tears flowing down her face, began to cry.  "dr. christianson, why can't i help him?"

dr. christianson, with tears of his own, said, "no, steve has to do it alone.  i have given him this task and he is in charge of seeing that everyone has an opportunity for a donut whether they want it or not.

when i decided to have a party this last day of class, i looked at my grade book.  steve is the only student with a perfect grade.  Everyone else has failed a test, skipped class, or offered me inferior work.

steve told me that when a player messes up in football practice, he must do pushups.  i told steve that none of you could come to my party unless he paid the price by doing your pushups.  he and i made a deal for your sakes.

steve, would you do ten pushups so susan can have a donut?"  as steve very slowly finished his last pushup, with the understanding that he had accomplished all that was required of him, having done 350 pushups, his arms buckled beneath him and he fell to the floor.

dr. christianson turned to the room and said.  "and so it was, that our savior, Jesus Christ, on the cross, pled to the Father, 'into thy hands I commend my spirit.'  with the understanding that He had done everything that was required of Him, he yielded up His life.  and like some of those in this room, many of us leave the gift on the desk, uneaten."

two students helped steve up off the floor and to a seat, physically exhausted, but wearing a thin smile.  "Well done, good and faithful servant," said the professor, adding, "not all sermons are preached in words."

turning to his class the professor said,  "my wish is that you might understand and fully comprehend all the riches of grace and mercy that have been given to you through the sacrifice of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for us all, now and forever.  whether or not we choose to accept His gift to us, the price has been paid.  wouldn't you be foolish and ungrateful to leave it laying on the desk?"

-------

and so goes the parable of the donuts.  Jesus taught in parables.  parables were a common form of teaching in judaism.  the Lord Jesus frequently used parables as a means of illustrating profound, divine truths.  stories such as these are easily remembered, the characters bold, and the symbolism rich in meaning.

as professor christianson said, "this is my classroom, my class, my desks, and these are my donuts."  well, it is God's universe, His earth, His creation made from dust and His mercy to bestow.  it is all His and He makes the rules.

the Lord has made it perfectly clear.  eternal salvation is faith in Him alone and not through any human effort or our own good works or intentions.  there are a lot of big questions that come our way in life.  but there is only one big question in death.  "I am the resurrection and the life.  he who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live ... do you believe this?" john 11:25-26

you see, professor christianson weighed the whole situation and determined that steve was the only one qualified to earn the donuts.  for everyone to be able to receive a donut, steve must pay the price.  so he paid the price for the donuts.  whether you decide to receive one or not is up to you.  "we must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God." acts 14:22  but those tribulations are nothing compared to the weight of sin we could not bare.  and yes, there will be tribulations no matter which realm you enter.

professor christianson was celebrating the last day of his class.  God will be celebrating the last day of our learning here on this earth.  His celebration will be the marriage supper of the lamb, His Son; something far greater than donuts.  it's value is beyond measure.  and yet we still leave it sitting on the desk.  God wants everyone to have their donut.  He wants you to take a big bite and enjoy it all the way down.  down to that wellspring of life bubbling up in us.  so if you're stomach is beginning to growl within you, take a bite.  it's paid for.

[kirchefuchs]

Ceres help me it is 3:58am and I have been tossing and turning in my bed for the past 30 minutes and I can't sleep

anyway

Now that I've watched a few episodes (read: 2 episodes) of Trigun (the og 1998 anime btw–), I can officially deduce that the Trigun mf (I have no idea what to call him help ☠️ do I just call him Vash–) is 100% silly

I CAN'T TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY DUDE AND I LOVE HIM FOR THAT. REALEST ENERGY RIGHT THERE ☝️ I WOULD HUG HIM and probably get berated by the short-haired lady (I suck at names 😭) but wHATEVER I'D STILL HUG HIM ANYWAY and also give him a box of those donuts he got

but now

i have to ask—does Vash go Super Serious Mode™ in an episode that doesn't include a woman like Marianne (I think that was her name 😭❓ RAHHH I SUCK AT NAMES I'M SO SORRY)

if he d o e s tho,

and I ask you this politely–

describe why in the weirdest, most nonsensical way possible

like

"local florida man simply decided to wear a dino suit one day and was promptly screwed by the local government" type of nonsensical

and then type the episode

so that once I get to that episode, I'll finally understand the context and what you were trying to say :D

(context for this very unusual request: I tend to do this with @ann-aha (< on a temporary no-wifi vacation) whenever I get into a series that she is conveniently obsessed with (she also does this with me towards The Stanley Parable lmao–) andd I decided to do this with you cuuuz idk, ur a friend in my book)

— 🅰️non, on the very ungodly time between 3:58am and 4:14 am || 18/07/2023 [decided to change it lol– it's now DD/MM/YYYY]

I love my silly little guy so much. He truly means the world to me. And don't worry about the names, I suck at names too but you'll get used to them eventually.

(You have no idea how honored I am to have you consider me a friend ♡)

I couldn't pick just one, and maybe not all of them fit the "Vash going serious mode™" but most of them do so I'm putting of of then here. I just love Trigun so much. It's so good. I'm so excited to watch as you get further into it.

Anyways, here's those descriptions you asked for and the episodes they're from

Local blonde man shoots Goliath's fist five times to save moms that tried to kill him earlier that day. Episode 5

Hungover man and his supposed boyfriend (also hungover) win local quick draw tournament with the power of love and incredible amounts of guns. Episode 10
