Took me a long time, but here it is - Rapture from Bioshock on a slice of jade for @xxkyuubimonxx . It was a painstaking work, but it helped taking my mind off the war's "anniversary"

Andrew Ryan could make Rapture but only Frank Fontaine could make Bioshock McDonald’s

Unreal game honestly

Shifty not in the sense of crappy quality, but shifty in the sense of ominous energy. "Church closed due to rapture" sign overgrown with flowers, in front of a derelict church and a small cemetery. My immediate thought upon seeing it was "you can't change a church sign after you've been raptured," so the implication MUST be that whoever changed the sign was Left Behind. This is literally a post-apocalyptic scene pretending to be generic cutesy church art. It was at goodwill for $6.49. I can't find it anywhere online. It's numbered out of 200 and signed. I left it at the time, then circled right back a few hours later to get it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it, I'll update if I get driven mysteriously mad or anything

did they put the sign out ahead of time, or did they pay an atheist to come do it after they were gone?

"An honorable human relationship — that is, one in which two people have the right to use the word 'love' — is a process, delicate, violent, often terrifying to both persons involved, a process of refining the truths they can tell each other. It is important to do this because it breaks down human self-delusion and isolation. It is important to do this because in doing so we do justice to our own complexity. It is important to do this because we can count on so few people to go that hard way with us. It isn't that to have an honorable relationship with you, I have to understand everything, or tell you everything at once, or that I can know, beforehand, everything I need to tell you. It means that most of the time I am eager, longing for the possibility of telling you. That these possibilities may seem frightening, but not destructive, to me. That I feel strong enough to hear your tentative and groping words. That we both know we are trying, all the time, to extend the possibilities of truth between us. The possibility of life between us.

I quietly continue to do some fanart, again my favorite Bioshock. This time I wanted something a bit more detailed!

I really love Jack, but to be honest my super fav is another character... but you probably won't be surprised. :"D

Also thank you all for your support in my previous fanarts <3

I think I summarized Rapture pretty well

[max-the-mouse]

TO WHOEVER NEEDS TO HEAR THIS:

THE RAPTURE IS NOT REAL.

it will NOT happen.

The rapture was only introduced into US christianity in the late 18th-19th centuries.

Fundamentally, the rapture serves as a boogeyman to lord over believers, keeping them trapped in the church because....well....you dont want to be left behind when the rapture happens, do you?

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TO TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST. THERE IS NO ANTICHRIST. THEY HAVE BEEN SAYING THE END TIMES ARE NEAR SINCE TIME STARTED. ALL OF THE "SIGNS" ARE JUST THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN HAPPENING IN THE WORLD FOREVER. THEY WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN. AND THE RAPTURE WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

you will not hear a trumpet call and then be left alone. you will not have to survive the tribulation of apocalyptic hell with satan ruling the earth until christ returns.

i promise.

you have a future!!!! you really do!!!! life will not end suddenly bc of the rapture.

plan for your future!!! envision it!!!! think about places you want to go and people you want to spend time with!!!

in order to build a beautiful future for yourself you must envision it!!!
