Zayne
He challenges your mind and can talk to you about some of the most interesting things at times, however he can also bore you sometimes if he gets too lost in his medical advisories

he gives you the silent treatment when he is mad, but he can't stay mad with you long especially if you bug him and try to cuddle and kiss him he will forgive you in no time

he carries candy with him all the time and in certain moments that may stress you out he will simply pull one out to make you smile again even if only for a little while
he has a sweet tooth but he tries to keep that from anyone knowing because well he is a heart doctor and telling people whats not healthy and to stay away from would just make him look like a hypocrite
he is very subtle when he does little things to impress you or let you know he cares, if you don't know him well enough you will miss these hints
he will carry an umbrella on rainy days and even when you forget yours, he may not say anything to you but when it starts pouring down he will just open his umbrella and put it over both of your heads
when he doesn't think your looking he will smile if nothing but for a moment because even though he spends so much time babbling about what you should do to change trust me he wants you just the way you are flaws and all even though he can't say it....yet!
he will call you after a late night at the hospital especially after a stressful day and although its a short call and you don't know why he is calling but its because after all the stress in his day your the only one that makes his heart a little lighter

he does have abandonment issues but this means when he is loyal to you he will never ever leave you as long as you never leave him

He will do anything for that smile, that smile that you show to only him, its like no other smile that lights up your face and only he notices the difference.
He loves when you tell him about your day if you spend with friends or what not but he does get jealous if they made you smile because really he wants to be the only one that makes you smile. Then he might get pouty and ask if he can join next time.
he will take you to play the claw machine just so he can win every one of the plushies for you
he will take you to the arcade and he will play every game that gives him tickets so he can turn it in and surprise you with something you wanted from the prizes
he can be greedy when it comes to you, he is a introvert anyways so if he could keep you to himself and never share you well he would be in heaven
he likes to be playful in your banter with him he just enjoys this time together this is how he knows your the woman he wants to spend his life growing old with...yes he has been thinking about popping the question way before he should but he is waiting for the time to be the most romantic and when he doesn't think he will scare you away.

he doesn't mind watching chic flicks with you and you talking about the lead actor being hot but he will sit there and tell you why all the reasons he is a better hunter and that this guy you find so hot to be the most horrible hunter he had ever seen...the green eyed devil bites him from time to time

he loves to sleep but has a hard time sleeping most places cause he always has his guard up but when he is in your arms he sleeps the best, soundly and feels safe with you even if he thinks he is the more skilled fighter
if you have something on your mouth he will lean into wipe it from your lips stealing a kiss while he is already there
he is very confident in himself even though he doesn't do well with others most times he is still comfortable in his own skin especially since your beside him touching that very skin as he loves when your caress his hands and arms when you are cuddled in a blanket on a cold day

Man, the sheer AUDACITY of Norry (or was it Dani? Whoever it was) to try and lie about you not supporting Palestine when they're out here supporting Amazon fucking Prime, a company funding the fucking genocide, is so rage-inducing to me. How dare you pretend to be all high and mighty about it when YOU ARE THE ONE not boycotting companies that support the fucking violence Eat dirt, you hypocritical scumbag.
It was Norry. And you know something, I'll give Viv this much...she might be out there stuffing her face with McDonald's and taking Starbucks selfies and liking tweets complaining about how the boycott affects Hazbin, and she might not give a shit about Palestine, but at least -- unless I missed something -- she's not out there pretending she does.
You can't have your cake and eat it too, Norry.
EDIT: Scratch that!

Regarding Batman and Responsibility: A Rant
So, whenever there is talk about the age old question of "Should Batman kill Joker?" there is always, and I mean always someone who says something along the lines of: "But it's not Batman's responsibility to kill Joker so it's wrong to put the burden onto him." and on the surface this seems like a reasonable argument. After all, there is a police department in gotham, there is a government, so shouldn't we hold them accountable as well? Well, not exactly.
(Warning: I probably mispelled responsibility and responsible a LOT in this post, please don't begrudge me for it.)
Of course, those institutions ARE responsible for the Joker to some degree but the real question, to me, is: why is Batman considered as "NOT responsible" when he very much is.
People who make this argument usually say: "Well Batman is a volunteer, a vigilante! This is practically none of his bussiness." And true, Bruce isn't required to be a vigilante, he does it entirely out of his own volition. But is that not the whole reason why he IS responsible? I mean, Bruce is the one who CHOSE to take up that responsibilty, he is the one who CHOSES to shoulder that burden. In that sense he isn't that different from a government official/cop/etc. those people do it of their on will too don't they? Bruce, day after day, year after year, choses to fight for Gotham, to protect it and its people; he takes those responsibilities onto himself and yet... stopping Joker somehow, isn't one of them?
In my opinion, it is hypocritical. Bruce is the one who says things like "Gotham is MY city" or "I don't allow metas in Gotham, you need MY permission." or "You can't operate as a vigilante in Gotham without my say-so."(Stephanie Brown, anyone?) he routinely describes his vigilantism as a "war on crime"(which, yikes) and calls it a "crusade" and says it is his "mission" no? He chooses to do these things all on his own, no one forces him to. At a certain point, it's a matter of integrity. He can't pick and choose what exactly constitutes to protecting Gotham and what doesn't. He can't decide that beating up muggers in the streets is extremely important and is his job while improving Arkham isn't. He can't decide that, despite putting Joker in Arkham over and over again knowing he's going to escape, he isn't at least partly responsible for Joker's future victims. He can't keep stopping people from killing Joker(Under the Red Hood, hello!), saving Joker from the death row, putting Joker into a Lazarus Pit, or saving him from natural disasters(because you KNOW he would) and then claim "Oh, but killing Joker isn't my responsibility." He can't willingly claim responsibility for Gotham in every other scenario, EXCEPT for that. That's just having your cake and trying to eat it too. Unless he decided that by saving Joker he is not actually harming Gotham, by allowing Joker to live he is actively NEGLECTING his mission, his duty. And anyway, I thought the whole point of superhero comics was that people with power to better things shoud use those powers to do exactly that. Batman DOES have the power to "better" Gotham, he just isn't using it.
"Killing Joker isn't Batman's responsibility." No, it is. Because protecting Gotham and its people IS his responsibility, as he took it onto himself. If he didn't want to deal with the consequences of such a thing then he shouldn't have become a vigilante in the first place.
Mind you, this doesn't mean he's the ONLY one responsible, far from it, just that he is.
(I genuinely don't remember whether I made a post on this before but I have ranted about this to myself outloud when alone multiple times and if I have to think about this so do you)
[And YES we all know the real reason is because Joker is DC's cashcow, that is not the point of this post...]

Everytime i look at the syscourse tag i want to kms. Like, bro, stop playing both sides. You either have a CDD or you don't. You can't have a CDD and be an endo system. And you can't be a disordered system and be an endo. Y'all are making your own term useless as fuck and this is why the majority of the DID community don't want to interact with y'all. This is why anti-endos don't want to interact with y'all.
Like, we want our own space away from you. Get it? What is so hard to understand about wanting two separate communities.
Like, I don't mind if endos have a community separate, but still identify as systems n stuff. I don't mind if syscourse neutral ppl interact with me. But the thing is, I don't want to be around people who want to have their cake and eat it too.
Anti endo CDD systems didn't choose to be systems, we developed that way because of trauma. And I'm sick and tired of people acting like this is fluid identity, like no, this is our category that we're stuck with. I can't take off this label, I will always be a system. I can't pretend not to have it forever. I can't pretend that I don't have flashbacks and don't have trauma. I can't pretend that I don't have nightmares and don't get triggered into dissociation everyday.
Like, I get it to some extent, y'all just want to exist without having to be reminded of trauma. But I don't get that luxury, most CDD systems don't get that luxury. I can't just move on whenever.
So endogenic systems are either real or they're just a flimsy label that you attributed to yourself. You don't get to have both. You don't get to have a debilitating trauma disorder while also ??? not having trauma???
I fucking hate this. So fucking hypocritical.

In all my experience in this fandom, I never really cared about what c//erifs think. But I am more disappointed sometimes at the conclusions some "clotis" have.
There is a sense of superiority when you follow canon, and feel the need to wave a hand and entertain what c//erifs think. "both girls" faction is in this too. Concepts such as "star crossed lovers" "fleeting love" etc, to a forced pair that obviously looks so platonic, one sided, and sibling coded is crazy. It is also weird to want another person be meddling between the pair for "helping them out". Clotis who try their best to be "good" is ironically being unjust to the characters they so called love. Where does your loyalty lie? We criticize tifa for not having boundaries but let ourselves imagine she needs this treatment to "improve"? Even if it means hurting her in the long run and expect she'll handle it because we take her maturity and strength for granted? No wonder people think she's pitiful if her fans are like this. What's with aerith that you believe in so much more than the one who's been holding everything in like tifa? We deliberately celebrated aerith OG self got "lost" but the deal is Square is getting you caught up on their trap/ manipulation. They're using aerti to get you to have to adjust to the problematic aspects of aerith's character. At least in OG, the friendship is more obviously one sided. But in remake, they tried to make it "genuine". They want you the audience to cry later because they can't rely on the gimmick they did in the past. And by emphasizing tifa being her friend and her crying later, we tifa fans are called upon to see aerith in a halo effect due to this and her death. If she ends up being a "wingman" that makes others sympathize the idea of "she was there sacrificing her feelings for her friend to help them out and now she died, it's thanks to her this became possible, thank her clotis don't be assholes after all what would tifa do? People make mistakes, let us forgive them, I'm sure they had good intentions" completely ignoring that cloti would still work without interference just like in OG.
Square wants to have their cake (flirt with soldier cloud despite tifa's pain and cloud's discomfort) and eat it too (the party will be sad later and completely ignore her actions).
Tbh, I'd rather she act like a snake like in OG than this if they're going to be half hearted at being a friend just to manipulate the fans to feel shame instead of criticizing her direction.
such a dooms day post even though the game hasn't come out yet. Sigh.
Tumblr media
Couldn't put it better myself, only I ain't buying their bullshit and refuse to let that two faced behaviour slide because "oh no she ded *cries*"
And thankfully a lotta clotis feel the same way, as well as the so called neutrals because we all have this lil thing called morals and refuse to tolerate rancid behaviour for any reason.
If Aerith's a real friend then she should act like one instead of a back stabbing hypocritical two faced bitch.
Marle had it nailed when she said Tifa needs a real friend. Specifically a female friend who doesn't try and fuck her bf the moment her back is turned.

So why exactly is it acceptable for anno to shill the same three shows since he came outta the womb and randomly reenact sentai choreography and hold all of this close to his person but we can’t come to like his anime or the characters’ relations to one another unless we’re otaku freaks that don’t have a life outside of consumable media

Conversation
Antis: "You're a pedo because you find Tom Holland, a twenty-two year-old man, attractive... He played Spiderman and Spiderman is a minor so you're a pedo."
Also antis: *writing sexual reader x Five fics, who is played by a fifteen year-old, using the fact that they're seventeen themselves as their reasoning, seemingly oblivious to the fact that they're sexualizing a minor, the actor, while also shipping a minor, themselves, with the fifty-eight year-old character that he plays*

HEADCANNON ASK! Food has been disappearing, and S/O is suspected to be the culprit. A few weeks after the food started disappearing, S/O was revealed to actually be the cause. Reactions?
Undertale Sans - He's looking at you with the worst betrayed face ever. So you were the one stealing his baby ketchup bottles from him. How could you do this to him ? There's no way he's trusting you near the fridge ever again. Everytime you open the door, you can feel a threatening aura behind you. Sans is watching you. It's even worse than the resets.
Undertale Papyrus - OMG. So you was the one who eat all these spaghettis in secret ? Why would you have to hide this from him ? He is so happy he's ready to make more. You don't have the heart to said that the only place his 2016's famous blue-green spaghettis that were in the fridge for six years have gone is in the bin. You want to cry.
Underswap Sans - That's easy. To dissuade you to do this again, he did the same thing he did with Honey years ago. He sets traps all over the kitchen. You have a good surprise when you find yourself suddenly hugging by the feet in front of the fridge, while Blue is screaming "AH-AH ! I KNEW IT" right at your face. It's the end of your criminal carreer. He'll never let you do that again.
Underswap Papyrus - Well that's akward. Asgore made that very nice chocolate cake, and one big part had been saved for later. Since you were scared Honey steal it, you woke up early. He had the same idea than you. You are looking in each other eyes a passive-agressive way. No one will let go the cake. It's a death battle you just started.
Underfell Sans - He really doesn't care. He spend his all life doing this, so it's not much. HOWEVER. Don't. Touch. His. Food. That's the only rule. If he finds out you touch, the next time you open the fridge, you are welcomed by a angry growling and drooling dragon skeleton protecting his treasure. He protect, but he can also attack, so don't put your fingers too close.
Underfell Papyrus - Welp. Busted. It's in the middle of the night, Edge has concombers falling from his eyes sockets and he's looking at you with nothing but disappointment. He's taking the things in your hands and go put them back in the fridge. He's looking at you all the time he's doing this. "SIT." He's pointing the chair. You execute yourself. You're in for a 40-min lecturing speech about stealing food in the fridge. "Well, shit." Oops. You didn't mean to say that outloud. Right ?
Horrortale Sans and Papyrus - They're horrifying. Not because of the food stealing, damn, that would be pretty hypocritical, but because you felt like you don't have enough food in their house. That's an idea they can't bear. Now, during night time, you get jumpscare by the brothers. They're leaving snacks in your room. Like not just some candys or stuff. No. Steaks, cakes, sandwiches, all in XXXL size. There's no way you said again you are hungry in their house. No one die of famine on their sight. It's a little extreme, but, well, it works ?
Horrorfell Sans - Oh boy. When he realised you stole his food, it's not getting good. He's a nice guy, but this is one of his most triggered thing. "Don't do this again or I'll kill you in your sleep". You can't tell if he's serious or not, you're so terrified you're never doing it again.
Horrorfell Papyrus - He's surprisingly fine with it and acts like he saw nothing at all. But sometimes, when you're waking up, you can find little cakes and pastries on your bed table. He prefers you doing that with him than with Copper's food.
Swapfell Sans and Papyrus - So, there's these cupcakes Nox' baked and hide above the higher cupboard of the kitchen. Rus and you noticed and made a plan to get them during the night. What you didn't plan is Nox waking up to get some water, finding you sitting on Rus' shoulders next to his cupcakes. Of course Rus would be there. Rus is always here when you need to be chaotic. Nox on the other hand is not pleased. At all. He's so pissed than, since you are so hungry, he forced the both of you to bake cupcakes until morning, but you can't eat them. More sadisticly, Nox is watching you, eating the cupcakes that brought you here in the first place. You desserved it.
Outertale Sans and Papyrus - You have planed to steal biscuits with Sun during the night. Sun loves biscuits, but he can't have too much because his brother thinks it's unhealthy. But what did you found when you enter the kitchen ? Mister Moon, flying, the mouth full of biscuits. You are looking at each other in shock. Well, what a twist.
Dancetale Sans and Papyrus - For several days, Salsa screamed after Rambo because the food was disapearing. No one suspects you. Until Rambo finds you the head in the fridge. He's doing the Pikachu face. You try to explain, but it's too late, he took a picture and teleports to tell his brother. You're going to be lectured to death, and Rambo will enjoy every minute of it with a sadistic smile.
Dancefell Sans - Rumba is actually a sleepwalker. So yeah, you got pretty scared when he pops right next to you to steal in the fridge you were stealing yourself. Oh well. You're filming him. If he's accusing you, you're showing him this. That way, you can keep stealing in the fridge without everything accusing your boyfriend. Such an evil plan.
Dancefell Papyrus - Bad pick. Tango's fridge is very precisely organise, since he's following a strict diet to stay in shape. So he noticed right away something was missing. You couldn't even defend yourself, you had chocolate on the mouth. Shame on you. Shame on your cow. Now go buy what you stole from him, you thief.
Farmtale Sans and Papyrus - You managed to persuade Sam that rats were doing this. But what he don't know is that his little brother and you are actually the culprits. You're doing Netflix nights, so you need popcorn. And there's literally corn fields behind the house. If Sam didn't protect his crops this hard, he wouldn't have noticed. And Ben wouldn't have ended with his hand in a mousetrap. Things are happening. When Sam asked about the mark, you panic answered you bit his brother. Now he thinks Ben and you are having a BDSM-type of relationship and the atmosphere is very akward at home. Nice job.
Ink Sans - You think he didn't notice you stealing all the apple juice until he replaced it with paint. You're welcome. He's going to tease you for weeks after that.
Error Sans - He's too nice to destroy you for stealing his chocolate. Instead, he's going in a random AU and destroys everything in it just to make a fuss out of it. Congratulations, you provoked a genocide because you stole chocolate.
Disbelief!Papyrus - You had to confess it was you because he said Sans' ghost was doing that and he was freaking out about it. Now he's traumatised about the fact his brother is actually not resting in peace and he's going to have nightmares about it for several months. Everyone will remember that. You can feel people judge you when you're walking in the streets. Monster.
Dustale Sans - Since you like his food so much, he's letting small gift in the fridge so you can appreciate it more. Ah, peanut butter sandwich with a mouse head in the middle. Such a nice meal. You decide to never touch his food again. It's a serious public health risk you got in there. Urk.

^^ Hi again~!
You said in the kid headcanons you see Vil and Rook getting married when the kids were toddlers or babies and that got me curious of what the wedding would look like, then I recalled all their weddings
I, sadly for some not Riddle cause screw his mum, see some of them haven cut ties with their families for different reasons or they refused to. Like I see Kalim having at least invited his family to his wedding (I like JamKal as well but also love KalJamAce too, I'm curious of which fic you mean since I can't find anything of them minus here, just wanted to say that) but they didn't show up. And after that he decided to cut ties with them minus some of his siblings and cousins who he cares for. Another would maybe be Idia after getting that family love from Malleus' family and Azul's family and realize his family doesn't care that much about him minus Ortho who I see being the best man on his side in the wedding
Yeee! Imma add onto some of these btw since I really like yours
Floyd x Riddle x Cater
Floyd and Caters family were very happy to be invited and accepted the invites right away along with offering to pay bar bills and half of the catering bill!
I feel like Riddles mom refused to go until she somehow learned about their kid and wanted to go (she wanted to manipulate the child) but Riddle shot that shit down REAL fast
The only one from Riddles family there is his grandma cuz shes not bat-shit insane
I think Trey would be Riddles best man, Jade would be Floyds and one of Cater's sisters husbands was his best man
The weddings aesthetic would be like red and black but also light hints of blue
Floyd would hide lil fish things in the flowers and stuff like the gremlin he is
They had some spicy ramen for Cater since they figured he wouldn't want any of the cake (despite his sisters trying to convince him to eat it)
Heartslabyul were just balling their eyes out during the whole thing and Floyd was the first husband to start sobbing
There were a lot of hugs and kisses throughout the whole thing
Riddle would have trouble convincing himself that this all was real but the moment his boyfriends fed him the first piece of wedding cake he didn't have to convince himself anymore
---------
Leoruggie
Cheka is like the only one from Leona's family there and that's mainly because Ruggie wanted him there
Ruggie on the other hand, has his grandmother and some friends turned family there
Cheka was the flower boy and Ruggie got SO MUCH baby fever
Leona wanted to go all out for the wedding and Ruggie had to talk him down from emptying his bank account, not like that could happen anyway but still!
This is one of the first times Leona has seen Ruggie in a suit that wasn't his or another hand-me-down and Leona had to stop himself from having a nosebleed and making out with him on the alter
Their wedding aesthetic is a lot of warm yellows and dark browns with the light tossing in of white
Oh and also lots of flowers!
The rings are actually quite similar to the promise rings Ruggie got them (see my valentines day post) but with bigger stones and their names engraved on the inside
They went all out on the food and that is a fact
I feel like they wouldn't do best mans, they just don't like people enough to want one
Leona doesn't take his hand off of Ruggie's waist the whole night and Ruggie later jokes about Leona calling him the clingy one, "You really are just a big kitten, y'know?"
Leona denies this but is a massive hypocrite when they get home
------
Jamikali (with a Jamikaliace one)
Kalim is the happiest he could ever be and Jamil is just happy that his husband is so happy
Jamil's father is a shitbag so his mother and Najma are the only ones from his side there
Lilia is Kalim's best man and Floyd is Jamil's best man
The wedding is actually not that grandiose, at least not by some standards, its an outdoor wedding in spring and its very pretty
They don't do wedding rings, they instead do armlets, they already had matching armlets to begin with so they felt it would be better
Vil did Kalim's makeup for the wedding and Jamil was so flustered, his husband looked so pretty in his suit, the veil and the makeup just made him look like he was handcrafted by whatever gods there are
Jamil made all the food, he ain't letting anything be poisoned... He still taste tested everything
Everyone there (that wasn't family) would tell you that was the first time they've seen Jamil have a smile that wasn't snarky but Kalim just laughs at this because hes seen Jamil smile like that all the time, just not infront of the others
Kalim was already very affectionate so Ace and Floyd didn't even question that Kalim had his arms wrapped around Jamil while they talked about stuff
Also if its Jamikaliace its the same basically except its Jamil just trying to control the two from getting drunk off their asses
-----
Malleus x Azul x Idia (this one may be short)
Idia didn't even think of inviting his dad, hes fine with his boyfriends families and Ortho and that's it
Small wedding
The color pallet would be a lot of blues, with green only in the flowers and stuff. They wanted more but it looked weird that way
Yuu (MC) was Malleus's best man, Jade was Azul's, and Ortho was Idia's best man
Have yall seen people wear hoodies to weddings? Yeah they wore casual clothes since Idia doesn't really like suits, it had similar parts to his suit in the Groom for a Day event but it was mainly just casual
Floyd did a weird af toast
Jade hid those small little mushroom things around the place
Someone left a ferby as an unmarked wedding gift
--------
Rook x Vil
They had a small makeshift wedding
His dad would have had it filmed and put on tv. While Vil wouldnt have minded it if it was anything else, Vil had to draw a line somewhere and also it kind of made Rook uncomfortable
The only people there were their kids
Trey heard of the thing and made them a small cake and some cupcakes for the event
Rook dried the flowers Vil gave him that morning
The wedding was in their backyard, it was very pretty but still
Everyone on Magicam was very worried about Vil going on a hiatus but it turns out he and Rook were on a honeymoon and he was disguised so nobody recognized him
If they didn't need to do anything the morning after (like write Trey a thank you letter and y'know shower and eat) Rook would have been laying with Vil all day
Much wine, like bottles on bottles of it, also a very nice cheese + meat platter
-----
Enjoy! These were very fun to think about :> -Amber

Hi!!! May I get a HP, Star Wars, Voltron, and Disney matchup?
𝗕𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗖𝗦 + 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘
19, Libra, Neutral Good, enneagram is 4w5, muggleborn Ravenclaw (with Gryffindor tendencies), and my patronus spirit is Hummingbird. Biromantic Pansexual Genderfluid woman using pronouns of She/Her or He/Him. Cherubic-like face, with short height (5'1") plus sized Southeast Asian woman with Spanish descent that has chic messy/wavy brunette medium hair that reaches to my shoulder, oriental skin, slightly upturned eyes, small lashes, chocolate brown irises, cute flat nose, heart shaped face, full cheeks, cupid's bow lips, a small beauty mark on the forehead, and naturally straight teeth with tiny gap in front (just imagine that it's a mixture of Marinette from 𝗠𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗱𝘆𝗯𝘂𝗴, Musa from 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, and Alexandra Trese from 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲---cause' my friend told me that I kinda look like them). My sense of fashion is in between emo and boyish plus korean glam, I sometimes let my hair down or styled like Lara Croft reboot.
𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬
Distant, quiet, and timid at first making people thought I'm a demure, modest, and self-effacing that looks "immaculate" or "one of a kind" (due to my protective mom, a reason why I've never been in a relationship) but the truth is, dunno how to initiate a conversation, but a total opposite if I open up---friendly, ambivert, witty, laughing loudly on a daily basis---like my happiness is too shallow, super talkative, eats a lot (yeah I can finish a huge slice of cake or a meal in one sitting), awkward, daydreamer (I got embarrassed from knocking at the door even I'm inside the classroom 😂), EXTREMELY CLUMSY (mostly gets bruises from hitting, bumping my head somewhere, walking into something on my way, and being careless to my belongings), secretly likes affection, easily overwhelmed, prone to melt over wholesomeness, flusters on compliments, lightly blushes on cheesy banters, eager to share what I know (especially about Catholic Church---my past teacher joked that I'll become a saint because of it 🤣), oftenly speaks full of sarcasm with a lowkey crackhead energy citing meme references, and talented girl who can be your no.1 supporter and unashamed to be true to myself but can be awkward to strangers. In terms of leadership, I only educate and guide than being a prefect (I might take the role seriously), will lift my group when there's lacking/incompleteness. About doing projects in school, I become too extra and prepared for efforts, but I'll forget the process in the end.
The extent, I'm expressive, warm-hearted, willig to help, kind, intelligent, supportive, nice, creative, enthusiastic, laid-back, determined, tough, competitive, and feisty outside, but a real softie that can be childish and dramatic that cries so easily (but will enlightened real quick by smallest things that makes me smile) filled with doubts, frustrations, and insecurities with fear of failure that pushes off the limits to to please everyone because they might get dissappointed from expectations---I simply can't stop proving myself too much because I'm a survivor of bullying. But I still managed to be stronger than ever after I stumbled, even it's a slow burn process. I can be blunt, intimidating, harsh, and a douchebag if I receive ends or I got interrupted while doing something. Immature, headstrong, perfectionist, demanding, hesitant, jumpy, forgetful, overthinker, quick-tempered, sensitive, and anxious (no joke, my nervousness makes me think worse scenario will arrive). Though can be procrastinator and arrogant, I raised as a religious 𝖺𝗇𝖽 diplomatic youth, willing to fight what I believe (including my dreams and what's important to me) and what is right. In addition, I have a habit of staying up late and doing sign of the cross to ease nervousness.
Rowdy and feeling-brokenhearted and bitter friend in the group who fangirl a lot, swears like sailor, will call out on people that we loathe, will make fun of your stupidity (in a good way) before helping, and bring gossips, but a hopeless romantic and cheeky (makes banter with sarcasms or pick up lines as an endearment, but gets annoyed if I received sappy or offensive one), Still generous and concerned person in a subtle and different way.
𝗛𝗢𝗕𝗕𝗜𝗘𝗦
My hobbies are singing, drawing, roleplaying, listening to music, chatting/browsing on social media, conceptualizing, writing, and reading some stuffs. I'll include making corniest jokes/puns, sleeping, and dancing when nobody's around or walking like a model if I feel so bold (even I'm terrible at both xD). I also used to learn Italian language a bit.
𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦
Loves kittens, milk tea, singing at the karaoke, cartoons, iced coffee, memes, cute things, watching YouTube videos (mostly pageants, ASMR, edit audios, and mukbangs), also enjoys playing games on my sister's PSP. Sucker for arts, choir, poetry, night sky, makeup, fun/deep/dumb conversations, Christianity, documentaries (about saints, real crime stories, and inspirational people), reading interesting stuffs, talking about social issues, and creative writing, chilling both indoors and outdoors. Beside that, my music taste are like late 90s-2000s songs (mostly rock, pop, and country) sometimes Catholic songs, kpop and ppop, chocoholic, and a sweetooth as well.
𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗦
Things that I hate are stereotyping, HUGE creepy crawlies (spiders, toads, snakes, and cockroaches), firecracker sounds, thunder and lightning, being left out, loneliness, heart break, blackout, and judgemental people. If I found out that someone hates or backstabbing or being rude to me, I won't hesitate to throw offensive criticisms, leaving them with a "I don't give a f" attitude. One random fact about me is, I 𝗐𝗂𝗅𝗅 vent out EVERYTHING I despise in my entire existence---from bad soap operas to toxicity, worse scenarios in real life, and how terrible is my love life from unrequited feelings that I got, because it's a big deal for me, and I consider forcing me to do what I'm not into and manipulating me as my major pet peeves.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗚𝗘𝗥𝗦
In terms of triggers...I only have two which are ta𝖨king about divorce/annullment/separation because I came from a generational broken family (it sucks that some people I knew assumed that the reason why I'm overly unaware that someone is interested in me in secret, is I have "high standards" looking for a partner, but the truth is I'm strict and I have a personal preferences...I know my worth and I don't want settle for less!) and religion/beliefs discrimination, cause' there are reasonings that doesn't makes sense because some, sounds too hypocritical, like as if you're a morally good person.
𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 + 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗨𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗦
My love languages are quality time and gift giving, but I actually swoon over physical touch (especially cuddles and cute kisses) and words of affirmation when it comes to having a partner, though I get attracted so easily, matured but can be a goofy person who's nice, friendly, kind-hearted, loving, faithful, and excels in academics is my cup of tea. Whenever I have a real life crush (which is rare), I act the same but deep inside, my heart is about to explode and will eventually share to my trustful friends how I highly admire that person, however if they spilled the beans out, I'll obviously deny it and will cry if they like someone else, it will take some time for me to move on, now I don't care for them anymore.
Best Friends to Lovers is my ideal trope because I find it very cute since you already knew each other before dating (which happened to my 2nd cousin, she married her best friend!)---perfect balance for romance, laughters, comfort, and tears when it comes to sharing your vibes, being there through thick and thin, safe with embraces, and helping each other to grow.
𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗔𝗦
My best assets are smile, eyes, personality, singing voice, artistic skills, writings, intelligence, oratorical skills and I have potential in hosting...so I can consider myself as a singer, artist, orator, speaker, and a top student who's a former active campus ministry member with three roles (choir leader, psalm singer, and reader).
May sounds different but I'm passionate for helping people through my talents and sharing my story to inspire everyone. I may look selfish, but I have a different way on how I show that I actually care also I have a biased sentimental value
Currently a college freshman, learning how to cook. I have so many interests, to the point I don't know what I'm into because of my dreams to become a popular Filipino YouTuber, a novelist, and being part of a successful chorale competing internationally...I also consider joining pageants at school too once the pandemic ends, but maybe.
HP: Remus!
- Remus is also quiet and a bit reserved when he's not in a familiar situation, so your own first impression on him would be a good one, as you'd seem similar to his own personality. He's sweet and is able to start up a conversation if he notices the other person is having a hard time doing so, so hopefully he'd be able to bring out your more extroverted and friendly self after a while so he can be around the more open you. He wouldn't mind you being a bit awkward-he's very much the same way-honestly, the comradery that would come from that would be more positive than anything else. He loves sharing knowledge and learning about new things, so your eagerness to talk about what you know would work really well also! He does a lot better when he knows someone has his back too, so your extra supportive nature would endear him to you as well.
SW: Han!
- Your nicer and more helpful personality would balance out Han's more standoffish vibes when first meeting. You might get on his nerves a bit first, but you'd quickly grown on him and, in turn, make him a bit of a better person. Your ability to be blunt and a bit harsh would serve you well if you ever needed to stand your ground on an issue that two of you have, as he can be quite stubborn.
VLD: Lance!
- Lance can be a bit immature from time to time as well, especially when it comes to trying to be funny or cheering up those around him-he's also headstrong and typically firm in what he wants to do, so your own determined personality would attract him to you a lot as well. He often puts off things he needs to do if they make him anxious too, but if you both recognize that you share that problem, helping each other might be a good solution!
Disney: Flynn!
- Flynn is quite a sarcastic and teasing person, so your own humor would match well with his. He's also quite a hopeless romantic as well, even though he's certainly not one to admit that right off the bat. He enjoys singing, and as he gets closer to someone he feels more comfortable doing so in front of them, so a partner he's been with for a long time would get to see him be more and more open with it. That also applies to activities like dancing.

The word of God tells us we shall suffer for the cause of Christ, he who seeks a greater reward must attain a greater faith. Unto whom much is given that much more is required. You wanna eat that whole caramel cake, you crave that sweet tea, you pursue that woman in a nightclub hoping to get her in a compromised position, face down tail up because face it, we're not willing to bow down to the will of God, but we’re so happy, and ready to give in to that round mound of doo doo brown. The 3 Hebrew boys Meshach, Shadrach, and Abednego went into the fiery furnace defying Nebuchadnezzar's declaration to worship him. These men had the inspiration, strength, and courage to say, even if He doesn't deliver us, we know that He can. That kind of faith is called perfected faith. We can be lazy because we refuse to work with what God gave us before the day of calamity comes to devour us. Tribulation is kicking into high gear, and many of God’s people are none the wiser. There are people who were working 3 jobs before, and after this pandemic became a global concern who know what is on the horizon. You don't need an Issachar spirit to discern the times; read the Bible. He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time? The gov't has pulled back on unemployment benefits forcing many to find a job. The 2 righteous servants in the parable of the 3 servants increased the wealth of their employer who trusted 3 men with different amounts of talents [money], and the 1 who didn't work diligently for his master inherited weeping, and gnashing of teeth. God invested in us, and He expected a greater return from this major investment. Jesus was the greatest financial venture ever made. The Father placed His faith in His Son who in turn gave Him many more sons that walk amongst us waiting for the Day of Judgment. This investment which supersedes all, but are intertwined will never decrease, and forever increase. The 144,000 isn't a spiritually inspired interpretation based on mine, and Mima getting the Holy Ghost or having an encounter with the Holy Spirit to speak in tongues. Sit down grandma, your Depends are leaking brown stuff that reeks of formaldehyde, and raw chitlins. God is looking for a righteous Nation to worship Him not themselves. These men, and boys who represent the 12 tribes of Israel have never been defiled by women, and hopefully not by men either. You lucky mother You can take the word literally or as a misinterpretation. Those who don't believe in the written word who believe that God's word isn't infallible aren't all to blame for this heresy. Those who originally interpreted the King James Bible added to, and took from are suffering for a misleading interpretation. The prophetic which God didn't let man corrupt altogether has pretty much played out verbatim. We may be dying to a world that is trying to kill our faith that God has no intention of doing until He finds His true worshippers, and He’ll never destroy one's faith in Him. Winter is coming and you and I must be prepared. We must live like today is our last without being caught up in fear. I'm suffering from a form of laziness called jackass. God shall supply all your needs, but faith without works is dead. The ant has the intuition to work throughout the Summer knowing that Winter is coming. A lot of these drones won't live to see the finished product. Ant mounds look like the Pyramids of Giza that secure the Queen, but where is the King? They serve the one who gives life that sustains the colony, she is their goddess, but what happens if the Queen dies? There's more than one Queen serving the colony who can breed an entire colony independent of one other. fulfilling their role while working together in unison with the others who all serve a greater purpose. This
is a major element that drives the Kingdome of heaven. Christ is just like His Father In the Kingdome that includes the Holy Spirit which they will pour upon all flesh again soon. There are no cowards or sinners in the Kingdome. The angels are not as drones, they are blessed warriors.
Revelation 21:8
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
1 Corinthians 6:8-10
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Alkebulan we need to wake up and get right. Black American's of the tribes of Judah, Gad, Reuben, and Issachar you need to aim at my forehead, and scatter my scatter brained grey matter all over the pavement. When Joe Biden told a radio podcaster if you don't vote for me you're not Black, he must be color blind. This vaccine that suspiciously looks like the Mark of Whodunnit. They can plant a microchip in your arm that can track your every move, financial transaction, and possibly your dreams while you sleep. Some Walmart stores are refusing to take cash when you check out; they only take debit, and credit cards. These are signs that we’re living in the End Times. The Last Days. I'm looking at this as a sign to get the hell outta this city, and decompose. What in God's name am I afraid of? Jesus took a beat down like a man on a mission.. You're not weak or simping if you gave your life for a people you fed, healed, gave sight to, preached to, taught them a new way to live, pray, love, told them about a Kingdome greater than Jerusalem, and you didn't kill anybody in the process knowing what they were going to do to your physical body in an almost retarded like bid to destroy their salvation. I've done none of that; my bad. Stop looking for men, especially zaddy to deliver us. “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” Some of us foolheartedly called Bill Clinton the first Black president when he's not, never can, or will be to me in any sense, Barack wasn't either. Thomas Jefferson, the third elected president, who served two terms between 1801 and 1809 was described as the “son of a half-breed Indian squaw (Black) and a Virginia mulatto father (Black).” Abraham Lincoln, the nation’s 16th president, served between 1861, and 1865. Lincoln had very dark skin, and coarse hair and his mother allegedly came from an Ethiopian tribe. His heritage fueled so much controversy that Lincoln was nicknamed “Abraham Africanus the First” by his presidential opponents and cartoons were drawn depicting him as a Negro. Warren Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight David Eisenhower, and the scourge of the South Andrew Jackson were all n**gahs. I’ll see you come Hanukkah you self-hating black, Uncle Ruckus’s. I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, why should I be overjoyed about the genocide, and enslavement of God's people? Christmas is what it is. Hopefully you will celebrate this holiday season together fulfilling God's prophetic word. I can't unless you kill me. The Christmas holiday is as pagan as Joel Osteen is at scamming. David Duke, you might wanna go to ancestry.com, and take a DNA test. You might be 30% Swahili. By the looks of those big, gorilla nostrals you had before that rhinoplasty. You, and Bull Connor may be related to Idi Amin. Your biggest shame is your greatest blessing. Personally you can kiss the skid marks in the middle of my skid marks after I take a fresh dump. Conservative, political pundits, and wannabes whose names I won't mention, but one in particular who looks like he smoked 23 blunts in 15min. with no filter. Please keep him in California, and let him drown with his zaddy, and pancaked tail, bowed hipped women. Use your lips as a floatation device dude. These people are ashamed of the God who has blessed many, and plenty. These people suffer, hopefully not always, from the white savior or white zaddy complex. The truth isn't in any of them, that's why they're so adept at lying when making bold-faced statements before the public that opposes their previous opinion like people don’t have YouTube or google. I’ll Bing a factoid or Yahoo that mother to get the truth I may even pay for it, gimme a dollar. My inability to walk amongst men as a man has stagnated my propensity to live That's BS, my Apostle said something this past Sunday that's stuck on my forehead. YOU'RE LAZY!!! I am what I am, a pain in the rear end. This has gone on way too long. Sometimes
I feel as though God wants me to kill myself because the PO PO won’t. I would feel better if my natural family would stab me in the neck, not my back, with a piece of diseased, pork, spare rib from a boar hog, and let me die from a rare form of trichinosis. The people have spoken while I’m playing Jay, and Silent Bob. Father, get me outta here. Elohim, 9/16/2021

i hope we're all on the same page that sharon "murder is good actually" carter is a villain. like if the whole point that sam & bucky are making is that killing is bad and life is precious blah blah and that it's not ok if karli kills anyone, ok cool i can respect that but then sharon is your enemy and you can't keep joking around with her. i get that she concealed most of her actions from them and they may have thought she only killed in self defense, but she's clearly being set up as a central antagonist that they're being blindsided by due to personal bias. and john walker isn't suddenly redeemable either after brutally murdering an incapacitated man, i didn't get that decision to team up with him again and having him save people if the whole point is that he's the antithesis to what sam as cap represents. like ok if you wanna have a no kill rule that's fine but don't circumnavigate it by just having someone else kill people for you. it could have been written in a way that more explicitly condemns the actions of sharon, walker, and zemo for that matter, since the narrative is so eager to condemn the flag smashers for using violence as a tool. the ideology of tfatws is just all over the place, very "have their cake and eat it too", but you can't. you can't have it both ways. i don't expect a disney vehicle to do more than what they did, of course they can't openly approve of the anti-state, anti-military, anti-border anarchist movement that karli represents, they can't do more than saying hey actually refugees deserve rights and in our political climate that's already a pretty bold stance. but if they justify their disapproval in a "good cause, bad actions" kinda way on the grounds of being against violence, well, then they can't excuse it when it comes from their own, or from the state. and like they could have written it that way. they didn't because marvel gets funding from the military. and that makes the message muddled and hypocritical, which is disappointing.

ive heard that the china government is now going to make the boys of the country go through an education process to make them more "Manly". i honestly kept thinking, are they serious? that's a main issue? i read an article of the voices of a few people disagreeing with the whole idea. i mean, they can't be serious and if they are, do you think it'll stick? SOrry, I know you may not do the whole political thing but I wanted to rant about this to someone.
My day job and graduate degree are in fields closely related to & influenced by politics at global and national levels, so I spend a lot of my non-tumblr time talking and thinking about these things. ;) Maybe I should revise my blog description to say ‘fandom and politics.’ 
You bring up a lot of interesting questions, and for now I’ll focus on the Disney-related ones since the China studies class I took was several years ago and I’m not familiar with everything you’ve mentioned, though the overall themes are basically unchanged. 
I think the bottom line is that the entertainment industry is extremely competitive, and the reality is that the Chinese market is massive. China’s economy is on track to overtake the U.S. as the world’s largest in the next decade or so. We see the consequences of this already playing out across the world, with a new economic imperialism already underway across Asia and Africa in particular. 
Disney’s products aren’t limited to movies or traditional media content. They have theme parks and ‘experiences’ - including in Shanghai and Hong Kong - they even own ESPN so sports is a big deal too; and merchandise of all kinds. So their relationship with China is never just about one movie, and neither is any of the other entertainment companies’. Universal or Warner Media or anyone else isn’t going to make different choices, because it may be theoretically possible, but it will be exceedingly difficult for these media companies to succeed without access to the Chinese market. That means playing by their rules. 
(I didn’t know about Black Panther not doing well there, or that promotional material featuring Black and brown characters is edited a certain way. But it doesn’t surprise me, either. Anti-Black racism is unfortunately very common in Asia - not just in China.)
Placing you full set of asks under the cut, for context. :)
P2: pro but only in a single scene by a nameless person or couple; speaking about diversity but making the China posters starring black main characters are reduced or their faces or obscured or making someone who is traditionally Tibetan white in the adaptation (The Ancient One in the MCU). Basically, Disney is all about "having their cake and eating it too". I know China's huge population means more $, but that also means doing some ridiculous rules in order to appease the govt. I know that
P3; Tibet and China have some beef (Im not sure what) but I think it's stupid to erase a character's Tibetan or Chinese lineage just because two countries have issues. I know money is important but Disney's hypocritical and greed makes them look pathetic to an extent. And, and this is a serious ?, it IS possible to make $ with very little or even without from China, right? Black Panther did poorly there but made over 1 billion dollars; also Tenet has a black hero but the film did good there
P4: Tenet made money there and they (assumingly) didn't censor him like disney. It's a humbling lesson (not that disney will listen) that they can't keep following these rather silly laws. Pandering may work at first but it always leads to trouble in the end. I will respect each and every culture different than my one but pandering is where I draw the line. That South Park ep, The China Problem, did make a good point on this issue, controversial as it was in other parts. Your thoughts?

you can't have your cake and eat it too, nyquil.
nyquil suddenly acting like ADHD is a wonderful thing that deserves tons of respect the instant they registered they most likely had it when not a day before it was the (and i am not exaggerating in the least) 19th consecutive year that they had gone out of their way to harass and bully me and fight for people to see ADHD as some sort of terrible burden at best, or a laughingstock to be mocked for being inferior at worst is so bullshitting-ly hypocritical and self-serving that i literally cannot fucking muster up the guts to not laugh in their face over it
solidarity?
solidarity?
you made me feel like i was defective and needed to be killed just to satisfy your own ego and image.
you made jokes about me. you made jokes of me. you talked about how "annoying" and "weird" i was, and how i couldn't do basic things like focus or shut up and how pathetic that made me in your eyes. how inhuman it made me in your eyes.
the way you spoke about your friends wasn't much nicer either. you just whined about the same things about me, but repackaged as a tragedy instead of an annoyance. you bemoaned how long it took for your friends to understand instructions. you anguished over their difficulties with sarcasm and indirect wording. you cried crocodile tears over the people you plainly surrounded yourself for to feel superior.
and when you realize you're no different from the people you spit on, you ask for solidarity? you ask for people to "stop being mean to neurodivergent people!"
You called me a disease. You called your friends freaks.
It's not worthy of respect. You said it yourself.
And it doesn't suddenly become worthy of respect just because you realize it applies to you too.

𝙒𝙃𝙀𝙉 𝙄𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘾𝙃𝙐𝙍𝘾𝙃 𝙂𝙊𝙄𝙉𝙂 𝙏𝙊 𝙂𝙍𝙊𝙒 𝘼 𝙋𝘼𝙄𝙍
(2,219 words)
Not long ago a female member of my extended family posted on social media the claim that President Trump fits the definition of a demagogue perfectly. I know that God has anointed Trump to shake up the Washington establishment, remove trade barriers, ignite political firestorms and prosecute widespread corruption. So I reacted angrily to the post. Fired up, I immediately typed the following comment on her post:
“Yes, Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Christ) fits the definition perfectly. He went out of his way to piss off a large portion of the populace, sorry ass religious leaders, lawyers and politicians. Yeshua knew what he was doing; he knew what his enemies would do. The rest is history: the Roman proconsul, afraid of a large angry mob, turned Yeshua over to his soldiers for execution. Then he washed his hands of the whole thing. Today we have a President who like Yeshua is taking a wrecking ball to the political establishment, hurting people’s feelings and with his Twitter feed exposing hypocrisy. In my opinion we need more people like Yeshua and Trump, turning the world upside down.”
Shortly after this, the woman deleted my comment. I was saddened, and asked myself if I was too brutal. But no, it is the truth that is brutal. Having thought it over, I had no remorse.
But does Scripture reveal Yeshua's true character? Absolutely. Yet Yeshua is widely misunderstood to be simply an easygoing advocate of love and peace, making no demands of His followers. My reading of the gospels recognizes a Yeshua not only with a prickly side, but a Messiah with a fighting spirit. His actions and remarks often cut into the hearts of His adversaries. He was and still is a soldier in a war against hypocrisy. Some day Mashiach will return and put the wicked out of business. But I'm sure the Master would prefer His people finish the job first.
To properly appraise Yeshua's character one must study the man in action. Consider the following account in Luke 6 where Yeshua encounters on the Sabbath a man whose hand is withered. He wants to heal the man, but He also notices scholars and Pharisees nearby hoping to accuse Him of working on Shabbat.
Yeshua defiantly leads the man to a place where everyone, but especially His potential accusers, can get a good look. Yeshua asks the man a question that He really intends for the ears of the religious leaders:
“What is correct on Shabbat: to cause good or to cause harm? To rescue life, or to harm?” Yeshua “looked around intently at all of them,” before healing the man.
The scholars and Pharisees “were wild with rage...” It is exactly the reaction Yeshua intended to incite. Perhaps Yeshua even relished the anger directed at Him. He knew they would plot His crucifixion. With the Shabbat healing He had handed them as it were the hammer and nails to do the job. But He also knew His time had not yet come, and so He slipped away through the crowd.
John 6 relates an episode that epitomizes the notion that Yeshua, like Trump, was born to offend. It involves a vast crowd which has grown about Yeshua during a series of the Master’s signs and miraculous healings. Yeshua understands that most of the new followers are fake. The masses care only about the spectacle of signs and wonders. They also want to declare Yeshua King. They lack any interest whatsoever in obeying His commands or hearing His interpretation of the Torah.
Yeshua conceives a shrewd plan to thin the crowds. He recognizes that Jewish familiarity with Torah is widespread, particularly its prohibition against consuming blood and human flesh. This is abhorrent to all Judeans. So Yeshua turns to the crowd and makes this startling declaration:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you.”
The people are stunned by HaMashiach’s words and begin to murmur. Yeshua’s assertion strikes many as repugnant, and even the Master’s close followers are confused. The crowd begins to disperse. As Yeshua fully expected, little more than the core group of 12 disciples are left. Unlike many 21st century mega church pastors, Yeshua is less interested in numbers than in devotion. By deliberately offending the masses, Yeshua is left only with the loyal few.
Matthew 23 describes another public demonstration of Yeshua's remarkable choice of words: it involves the Messiah’s fiery confrontation in the Holy City with His favorite target audience—hypocritical religious leaders. The passage is popularly known as the Eight Woes. Most Christian translations quote Yeshua’s string of rebukes with these words: “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you...”
The original language of the New Testament is widely understood to be Greek. However scholars now believe the book of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew, and early manuscripts are being studied. The original language of Luke is also believed to be Hebrew and some scholars believe the entire New Testament was originally written in Hebrew.
A few years ago I was seated among a Grand Rapids, MI, congregation whose senior pastor had a background in Hebrew studies. The pastor explained what he regarded as a more accurate rendering of the Eight Woes passage. Yeshua's words are commonly translated from the Greek, “Woe to you...” Properly translated from Hebrew, Yeshua actually said, “GOD DAMN YOU, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites...,” (emphasis added). The pastor’s congregation was stunned by the language, as was I. The fighting words Yeshua used permanently altered my perception of the risen Savior.
Now imagine if you will a society in which ancient truths and assumptions once thought to be self-evident, are questioned and finally tossed aside. This of course is not hard to imagine; it is the current state of American society. Its citizens are told a man can be a wife, a woman can be a husband. and a man can bear a child.. Americans are even told an OB-GYN can treat a person with male genitalia—assertions which only decades ago would be thought absurd.. Such reckless claims are now accepted by a majority as fact!
The United States Declaration of Independence states: We hold these truths to be self-evident... Will these once-cherished convictions be among the next batch of truths to come under attack, and finally discarded?
The following few paragraphs will hopefully add clarity to what is at stake. High school geometry students are taught they must accept certain common sense assumptions on which to build a mathematical framework of theorems. Each of these are proved by a chain of reasoning. For example, students will readily accept the claim that two parallel lines will never intersect, even if the lines extend towards infinity. Widespread rejection of this common sense assumption would make the teaching of traditional geometry impossible.
College mathematics offers students a different perspective of not only geometry, but the nature of truth. A course called abstract geometry is built on a set of counterintuitive assumptions. To pass this course students must for several hours each week discard all notions of common sense. One proposition in this mathematical model is that two parallel lines will always intersect as they extend to infinity. If this is assumed along with other absurd truths, an entire universe of theorems can be proven. It works beautifully. I enjoyed the course. But after final exams we students set aside this nonsense and rejoined the real world. We realized abstract geometry is just mental acrobatics. It can't work in a functioning society. Could the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan have been built using this kind of math?
Abstract geometry is a type of an Orwellian world. It is similar to what our own society is becoming. Highly educated and experienced jurists have in recent decades rejected the bedrock truths of Mount Sinai in favor of new ideas that now enjoy widespread public acceptance. From the legalization of sodomy, these judges concluded by a chain of reasoning that same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. From the assumption that a human fetus is not a person, jurists rule abortion is a constitutional right. It's all perfect logic, but the proofs are based on false assumptions. Consider the following scripture:
“You shall not move your neighbor's boundary mark, which the ancestors have set...” (Deuteronomy 19:14)
Jewish sages explained long ago that this admonition has a metaphorical meaning in addition to its literal interpretation. It is a warning to elders and jurists: never overturn principles that have been widely accepted and have governed society for centuries, let alone millennia. One by one the courts have within less than an average human lifespan, torn down many of America's boundary markers.
Local school boards in California are already mandating indoctrination of children in Islamic and LGBT ideologies. Boys of believing parents possibly will be taught using artificial body parts how to sodomize another male. Officials are also talking about forcing believing parents who homeschool their children to do the same.
It's time for the Church to flex spiritual muscle. Our model is the biblical accounts of the Master Himself. Yeshua never allowed adversaries to force Him into a defensive posture. He stayed on offense. When accused, Yeshua responded with on-target scripture, a clever parable or pointed questions. He was unafraid to follow up with accusations of His own.
We live in an age when the ACLU regularly sues conservatives, Christian cake makers and flower arrangers for supposed anti-LGBT bias or religious expression in the public square. The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for the same reason puts churches and other religious organizations on its well-circulated list of hate groups. Both of these organizations want the public to believe they stand for justice, civil rights and goodness. In reality these are wicked people who are relentless, full of hate and attempting to oppose the Church's every positive move in America.
Why is it the ACLU and SPLC rarely get sued? It's time for the Church to fight back. Let's force the enemy onto the defensive for a change. For that we need generous believers who have money, lots of it.  It's time for wealthy believers in Yeshua to step up. The Church needs its own version of George Soros.
“No one would remember the Good Samaritan if he'd only had good intentions; he had money as well,” Margaret Thatcher (the Iron Lady) said years ago.
While big money is needed, the most important battles will involve our own interactions with others, especially on social media. Many of our best soldiers regularly get kicked off these platforms. Others suffer more serious consequences for standing on God's Word.
Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) will give us just the right words to powerfully respond to enemy attacks. I was seated once again years ago with that Grand Rapids congregation listening to the same pastor. This time he read the English translation of an ancient Roman court transcript from the time of the early Church. This was a time when the Roman Empire clamped down ruthlessly on the Church, putting many believers to death.
The case involved one of the believers in Yeshua whom the Romans placed on trial for his faith. The man knew the Romans were about to sentence him to death. He addressed the judge and prosecutor with chilling words that brought his modern listeners back nearly two millennia. It was like we were in that courtroom with him. The brave man’s statement, as recorded on the transcript, went something like this:
“A time will come when you will be sorry for what you have done here today. Both of you will stand in a courtroom much like this one. You will be on trial for your lives before a prosecutor and judge, just as I am today. And standing off to the side you will see me, quite alive and well. I will be there to testify against the both of you.”
In his six-volume memoir of the Second World War, the former British prime minister Winston Churchill recalls the dark days of Germany’s relentless bombing campaign against London and other large cities. For an extended period early in the war the cities were all but defenseless, there being no anti-aircraft weaponry available. But eventually large numbers of anti-aircraft
guns were placed throughout the populated areas. War-weary British citizens huddling in bomb shelters heard not only the explosions of German bombs—they were exhilarated by the overpowering blasts of countless heavy guns firing back at the German bombers. The knowledge they were finally fighting back against their merciless enemy did wonders for British moral, and contributed to bringing about eventual victory.
Is the Church up to the task of confronting the forces of evil in America? Will the job require a leader in the mold of Churchill? My choice rather would be a great spiritual leader in the mold of Yeshua Himself. We must view the conflict as Churchill early on wanted his people to view the Nazi threat looming just across the English Channel: “regard the menace of invasion with a steady gaze.” ##
