Tony: here, hold this *hands Peter a wrench*

Peter: *now holding 17 different tools* I think I'm gonna drop it

Tony: You're fine

In December 1936, I was assigned to go back to Shanghai under a different identity to meet comrade Guyan, an undercover party member. Over there, we will work together to create a new financial legend.

To have failed in killing Shinichi Kudo . . . he's made a huge oversight.

My video for SLICE (Short Little Iron Chef Edits), at BentoVid! The goal was to create at least a 90-second AMV within 100 hours, using a song from a list of songs only revealed at the start of the challenge. Given my slow editing, I can't believe I did it, but I did!

The song can be found here, and my video is also available on YouTube here, in full 1080p and with subtitles that can be toggled on and off.

1/4 final pieces I did for Inktober

[meggydolaon]

something that bugs me about Frieren is that the adventure of the Hero Party to slay the Demon King famously took 10 years... what about the return trip....?

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

7/17/24 WIP Wednesday (Closed) | Fluent Freshman FD 26 (2/5)

“If you come quietly, you won’t get hurt.” Jackson takes another step towards him and Smith finds that he really hasn’t changed in his months with the Foxes. His bravery has dwindled to nothing and maybe was only ever tied to great pump-up songs. Now, in the silence of the alley he is back to being Frozen-Stiff-Smith.

“You’re going to dial up that Wesninski brat, and if you don’t say exactly what I tell you to, then I am going to have you sing in agony.” Jackson continues towards him.

In that moment, he does stop thinking about Crocodile Dundee.

He thinks about a movie that is far more ingrained into his mind than any number of self-defense videos. Any number of random lessons with Matthew Boyd where he’d done his best not to flinch. A movie he had watched in better days with his family and had been a favorite of his.

because tumblr cut off my tags: i meant to complete using one of my fics (the weight in her heart, ch.3), but i didn't finish in time. i know, i know, mods said you don't have to finish to be a completionist, but much if not most of it wasn't written in october and the prompts didn't really inspire anything; they just kinda coincided with what was already planned. so it felt like cheating. but! i had a lot of fun, and i'm proud of what i got done. i even got to gif for fandoms i hadn't before! 20/31 ain't too shabby.

thanks for organizing a great event, @whumptober!

This Verse Secretly Undermines All of Christianity...

I just saw this and thought I would process it on my own.

This YouTuber doesn't sound like he's explored much beyond mainstream Western Christianity. He makes the bold statement that EVERY Christian sect finds indispensable the idea that Christ died on the Cross "for our sins". Period.

For the longest time I found that challenging too. He goes on to talk about many of the same things I've asked, "Why couldn't God just forgive us outright? Why must he go through a generational pageant to do something the God of the Universe could have done of his own accord in the first place?"

You can say this is a dumb question. I've been told this many times.

Yet I have never been the only one asking this.

Many, if not all Atheists ask this question. Frankly, many "Christian" answers sound a little unhinged.

Now, I don't think that his examples necessarily contradict the prevailing point of view though. All anyone has to do is look at the banking industry to see that credit on future earnings is a valid payment method. Now it's true that modern banking, and especially credit, wasn't developed until the European Jews, unable to make a living any other way, started lending during the medieval period. Jesuits came up with the idea of insurance, which didn't technically fall under the prohibition against usury. And with ongoing innovation, modern financial markets developed.

None of these, of course, would have been understood by the local people of Jesus' time and place.

What was understood was life and death.

And this is where I found my peace.

Sins can easily be forgiven, but sickness and eventual death? That's a whole other nut to crack. Now, to be clear, unfortunately even the most traditional Christian communities have started to obsess about how SIN must be atoned!

But there is a strain in the oldest Christian traditions that it wasn't primarily sin that was destroyed on the cross, but rather death, disease, corruption (of which sin is a derivation to be sure, but not the point).

Now it's easy to look around and say - "Look! it didn't work." I myself have had to say good bye to both my parents over the last several months.

However, there is a resurrection that is promised. And if Christ has done what he said he did, then there WILL be a general resurrection.

The key is to be prepared for that resurrection. Now we could go on about which denomination is best prepared, but I have little faith in denominationalism. I think it's a means to conquer and divide the faithful, pitting follower against follower. Soon the God who's being worshiped isn't the most High God, but the Deceiver who encourages us all to call each other heretics. I do not think most "Christians" are Christian, but rather following their own wisdom (1 Timothy 6:3-5, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Matthew 7:13-14, Matthew 24:11).

Now I may be a false teacher myself for thinking such a thing and putting it out there, but I have faith that God will know his own. And while he loves the rest, and has given them life, that life will be so much less for the fact that they reject what he's given them.

I find the idea of a river of fire helpful - Moses and the Glory of God (Exodus 33:20-23), speaks to the idea that to human senses, God is Fire. The Story of the Three Holy Youths (Daniel 3) has also been seen as an illustration of man abiding in the presence of fire, as a proxy for God, unharmed. Pentecost is God's fire experienced by the faithful after his resurrection. How will Gods fire be experienced by the unfaithful?

I have no idea, but I doubt that it will be pleasant (Luke 16:19-31).

In short, I feel this video failed to land it's point. There's enough diversity in Christianity to survive this argument, though I do not think that most modern Christians are open to my resolution.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy upon me, a sinner.
