#true to the faith

[whale-fallin]

i'll just say it but i don't think you're doing a good job as an ecologist if you truly genuinely believe that a species "deserves" to go extinct because of the circumstances they're in or the behaviors they exhibit

#speaking from the depths #i was about to go “no true scotsman” but that felt like a bad faith argument to make #thinking about that one post with the ecologist major complaining about pandas and cheetahs

the other day at work i saw someone with platform uggs. just thought you might enjoy that

Thats it. Thats the comic. Im using that horror movie technique where its scarier if you don't see the monster.

anyways this is such a throwback. you always send me the shit that somehow makes me laugh, I am remembering a specific one that I swear was ten years ago. anyways

#posting bullshit like this is always a leap of faith #i draw this stuff and think this time its too stupid #but if i cant be my true stupid self on my own stupid fandom tumblr then really what is there for me #ladybugg #I opened that tag to put it in this post and forgot i drew SO MUCH stuff about it #god the stupider an AU is the more fucking nuts i go with the content #any time i have an emotional AU you guys get like 2 pieces of content at most. I keep all the juicy shit in my head. #but if I think about them wearing uggs? you get a nonstop barrage #my art

the catholic rejection of it all

#one piece #op #trafalgar law #monkey d. luffy #gear 5 luffy #song is big god by florence and the machine #religious symbology? in my shounen anime protagonist? it's more likely than you think #im 24 years old it's the end of 2023 it's MY turn to finally make a cringe amv for christmas #to be clear. i dont think law sees luffy as his god. but i definitely think he's helped law regain some faith #i.e. catholicism (yeah hardy-hah one piece character is an ex-catholic its all very silly but let's take it unironically for a second) #it would've drilled into law as a child to believe in one true cause (that cause being god). and that will supposedly carry him through lif #give hope purpose etc. but a lot of former catholics choose instead to find that in something else. in law’s cause: #the freedom and hope corasan gave him #the freedom that luffy brings. the will of D. the goodness in the people around him #it's a transfer of faith that feels real and tangible #it's a neat concept and I don't see it talked about much #CJ's op watch-through #corasan #donquixote rosinante #sun god nika #CJ's edits #op analysis #amv

Been thinking about the X-Files recently. A show I have a hazy, but fond memory of.

#the x files #x files #fox mulder #dana scully #poorly drawn x files #is this going to be a thing? maybe? #iirc: The x-files is about two FBI agents who are trying so hard to be professional and not fall in love. And everything is a conspiracy. #...It *has* been nearly a decade since I saw the x files. I think I'd have a hard time rewatching for a few reasons but I did enjoy it. #This was initially just a work doodle I wasn't going to clean up #but the amount of x-files fans that Ive seen about + Lazycranberryart's wangxian x-files art got my brain too fired up. #Mulderscully vibes are like: "I'm her silly rabbit. she doesn't call me that outloud. But I believe in my heart it's true.' #Its about having faith and trust in each other! They might not always agree either but they have each other's backs! #Scully is 100% the one that kills the spiders in the relationship. Mulder wants to rescue them but his ideals aren't strong enough #Girl Daddy and Baby Girl Boy. That's who they are to me.

I’m touched by this beautiful quote:

“How wrong of us to even think for a second that Allah won't answer our duas while we are currently living in our other answered duas”

I'm sure people have said this about twelve quintillion times before but the thing about Buffy and Faith's relationship that just KILLS me is how Faith sees Buffy. Like. I'm watching Season 3 right now and it's just so...

Okay, we as an audience know that Buffy is imperfect. She's brave and compassionate and selfless, yes, she's a deeply good person, but she's also a person! She's seventeen, and she's scared all the time, and she can be self-centered and cutting and messy. She just spent a summer taking care of herself, all alone in a dingy little apartment in a lonely, dirty city. We know this!! Buffy knows this about herself!! She fails and falls sometimes, and it's genuinely difficult for her to get up again. She's flawed. She makes mistakes.

But Faith. Faith comes to town running from the monsters that killed her Watcher, the monsters that Buffy is brave enough to face. Buffy understands Faith's paralysis - she's run from things, too! She's frozen up before, too! But all Faith can see is this hero, the original slayer, who has more experience and more courage. Buffy has friends and family, and Faith doesn't really know what she looks like alone - hardly even knows that she's been alone. Buffy is responsible and reliable, and Faith doesn't know that she really isn't, for a Slayer. Buffy is the good one, and Faith is the bad one, and that's all that Faith can see.

It just. It kills me every time. Because Buffy understands Faith! She reaches out to her and has hope for her and tries to help her, as much as she can at seventeen years old and faced with her shadow self. She worries about Faith because she's been Faith, or at least been on the brink of being Faith. "Slaying's a rough gig," and "Stuff gets pent up," and she GETS that.

But Faith just doesn't know that they're sharing the same struggles. To her, Buffy is this good golden girl, who has people that love her and always does the right thing and doesn't know what it's like to feel lonely or terrified or twisted. So she's so wrapped up in her own self-loathing and insecurity that she can't accept the extended hand, and she distances them more and more. ARGH. Anyway.

but can you imagine having the amount of faith that aziraphale does? we can argue all we like that it's naive and it's dangerous and its foolish, but to have that amount of faith in anything is truly and completely remarkable

and the matter at hand here is not where he puts that faith; it's the fact that he has seen the things he has, done the things he's done, and felt the things he's felt... and still believes? has faith anyway? that he's literally had his faith in heaven and god teetering on a precipice and managed to keep it standing, he's had his faith in humanity tested to the brink and yet proven it worthwhile by sheer will and tenacity, and his faith in crowley - in crowley being such a good and kind person that aziraphale knows he shouldn't have fallen - is the most unshakeable thing he has known, the true well from which his faith draws?

look, you might question if he should have that faith anymore, and whether he should stake it in the places that he does, and i agree - but the sheer gut-felt, unwavering, unassailable faith that he holds in spite of everything he has seen and done is one of the most admirable and divine things about him.

#good omens #i just had to get this out #like not even having faith in heaven per se #but faith in general???? hes gods true fucking soldier #FUCK i have so many feelings about aziraphale #aziraphale meta

Thinking about step 9 and the whole concept of forgiveness of one’s self and others and it bringing healing and how bobby and Eddie have been paralleled a fair amount and the idea that Eddie started this process back at the end of s5 with his forgiveness and acceptance of his father but how he hasn’t yet gone anywhere near his mother and their relationship .

How his catholic guilt storyline seems more likely to play on his reltionship with his mother than his father (if his father wasn’t around that much it would’ve been Helena taking him to church etc each week) so the idea of an Eddie - Helena storyline that plays on catholic guilt and potentially his queerness in relation to that has me chewing on glass - it could be so epically good

#I’ve always viewed Helena as the biggest issue in Eddie’s relationship with his parents - Ramon has always - to me a least always seemed to #just go along with what Helena wants or dictates #it made sense with how his trauma ptsd army related arc played out that it was Ramon who was the centre of that #now though - catholic guilt - possibly playing into his queerness and suppression of that queerness #to keep some kind of reltionship with his mother - who only seems to view him through a lens of failure #leading him down a road where he wasn’t able to be his true self - it would be so powerful #there is so much potential there #eddie saying his mother wasn’t an issue in s6 - was such a choice and so pointed that they have to be wanting to explore that #so many aspects of who Eddie is and why he is the way he is - his want to nest but not being able to with women - stems from his mommy #issues and the fact he’s been denying they exist #I will eat it up - it would be the right kind of angst for the show and Ryan would deliver #plus the way it parallels with Bobby and his relationship with Catholicism would be fascinating #not to mention the whole Eddie not having a relationship with the faith he was brought up in only to start dating someone who is a literal #embodiment of that faith - and female - as a symbol of his needing to explore and reconcile the actual reasons for his faith lapsing- become #could not be queer and Latino and catholic when Eddie was growing up - it wasn’t an option - so if you step away from the faith that’s #denying a fundamental aspect of who you are #even if you still can’t act upon it - ​it is easier to keep that part of you concealed #911 spoilers #911 Thinky thoughts #eddie diaz #I need this arc to be a thing so badly #911 abc
