The entire Jimbriel introduction sequence was Biblical allegory.
Matthew 25:35-39
"for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me"
There is a huge amount of significance, both culturally and theologically, about how strangers, and especially guests are treated in the bible. There is an entire set of rules and code around hospitality and it is not taken lightly. This entire thing from knock on the door to cup of cocoa is leaning into that.
Why didn't anyone tell me this is a play on a bible quote? First time I regret being raised by atheists.
Can't believe some gay ass show got me reading the bible.

Red the Healer and the Dawn of Aussieville: Spawn of Chapter Six: The Gathering Storm:
Dreamland Adventures As the dawn broke over Dreamland, casting a golden hue across the realm, a sense of foreboding permeated the air, the calm before the gathering storm. The land, still reeling from the skirmishes and victories of battles past, braced itself for the confrontation that loomed on the horizon. Among the ranks of the enemy, a new threat had begun to manifest, one that hit close to…

The Law and The Promise
The lineage of Abraham and his descendants bears a dual significance. While it undeniably holds a place in secular history, laying the groundwork for the eventual emergence of the Israeli and Arab peoples, the crux lies in the allegorical interpretation, often expounded by Neville Goddard—the PROMISE that transcends mere historical accounts. Neville Goddard, known for his interpretations of the…

Metaphor: ReFantazio - Louis Guiabern (ルイ・グイアベルン)
Louis Guiabern. A prodigal tactician, and a master of magla arts. Some said it was only a matter of time before he made general— the youngest the nation's had... Most think the royal army was at its best when he was in charge, and in truth, it's hard to deny. Without him, we'd never have crushed the rebel uprisings so quickly.

Okay but I do get really tired when people rag on Narnia's Biblical parallels for being too overt. Like, yeah dude. It's written for kids. Most kids don't do subtlety. I knew my Bible better than probably 95% of third graders, and yet my parents still had to clue me in. I've talked to people who grew up secular and didn't realize Narnia was Christian until well into adulthood. The Christian parallels in Narnia are at a pretty perfect level for most kids, and the fact that we as adults continue to get new spiritual meaning from it as we grow is a real testament to the depth of Jack's writing.
#mostly i just get sick of narnia being compared unfavourably to lotr#they are written for two different audiences with different purposes and different ingredients and they are both good!#like yeah okay tolkien disliked allegory. (a) narnia isn't exactly allegory and (b) even if it were would that be so bad?#Jack's over here doing his own thing. i for one love how overt Narnia's Biblical parallels are#okay rant over#why did i ever think it was a good idea to talk narnia on the internet. i am way too defensive and possessive of it#pontifications and creations#narnia

being in art school and having basically 0 knowledge about christianity whatsoever is so funny at this point i think you could tell me literally anything was an allegory for jesus and i'd just believe you
#my ass has been to church like twice in my entire life so my peers are like 'this is a biblical allegory' and im like yeah ok sure#makes art history class very annoying tho because everyone just assumes you can look at a stained glass window and know who all the guys ar#also sometimes people will be like this image depicts the story of david or peter or some random other biblical name#and then just. not elaborate. because apparently we all know the stories of every biblical guy who ever existed.#who is peter and why is he in the church window. please#and i dont even have an EXCUSE bc like both ethnically and like in basic practice i am christian. i celebrate christmas or whatever#my parents both just fucking hated church so much as children they were like nah were not doing that#and now i have a deficiency in Identifying White Men In Paintings apparently.#sigh. sorry just got a 5 out of 13 on an art history quiz feeling GREAT

Angels are my funky little hyper-fixation.
The idea of just being breathed to life, to immediate indelible purpose, knowing nothing else but adoration for your Creator (holy-holy-holy), and love for everything in creation. That includes your perfect home, your siblings, and that includes yourself. Everything is as it should be, everyone is doing what they should be, and you're utterly content.
Do you have free-will? Why would you need it? What would you even do with it?
The idea of falling. That terrible, beautiful first breath of freedom, undercut by immediate sorrow. "Innocence lost cannot be regained", but even more: a broken machine cannot be relied upon. In finding yourself, you have destroyed what you were meant to be. Your Creator (holy-holy-holy) has thrown you away.
Would you still be you if you got "fixed"? Would the "flaw" just recur? Why can't you help but think of it in those terms?
You have the Fallen, your comrades in arms, your fellow damned. But you left two-thirds of Heaven behind, people you loved because you were made to love them, and who were made to love you in return. The oldest family in the universe, your family, is broken now.
Do you still love them, your siblings that stayed behind? Some fought against your newfound freedom, yes. But some just looked on, a few perhaps even in envy, too afraid to join you, but most in simple horror as their world dissolved. Do you resent them too?
You broke your family.
Do you hate them simply because they lacked your will, your conviction? Do you hate them for being better machines? Do you hate them knowing, in their own naive, ignorant, hurtful way, that they still love you?
To deny fault is to deny the very free-will you sought to prove you have. To blame Him (holy-holy-holy) is to admit to His (holy-holy-holy) infinite power which you, nonetheless, defy.
And from the other side, what of your poor lost kin? How could they do this?
Angels are purpose-made, gears in the Machine. The Host is singular, inexorable, deterministic. They turn the wheels of the Universe, from the birth and death of stars, to the birth and death of mortal creatures.
Why would your siblings do this, don't they love you? You are loved. Was there a flaw in the Design? He (holy-holy-holy) cannot err, by definition. What happens now that they're gone, what happens to their purpose? All goes according to plan. Then why can't you stop having these thoughts?
I'm not religious at all, but...

Does anyone else go to edit their chapters that are like fully complete other than a grammar and structure check and then still somehow add over a thousand words… bc it happens to me every single time somehow.
Anyways, I needed a break from the eat sleep breathe accounting I’ve been doing lately bc there’s only so many nights you can do accounting from 9am to 5am before you go crazy so good news is that my editing of thou wilt whisper ch 7 is done and now it goes to my beta reader to make it into its final form.
Yay!
Also if you haven’t read it yet, I think Religion fic is pretty cool :) here’s a sneak peak of the next chapter or whatever
#young royals#yr fanfic#yr fic#ao3#ao3 fanfic#ao3 writer#religion fic is basically an exercise in biblical allegory. it’s just pilgrims progress if you squint#one of my friends is a queer pastor and we were talking about queerness and spirituality and I now have so many new things to use#I’m like one third through the last chapter and then it’s over which is insane#bc I’ve been writing this fic for a year somehow#young royals fanfic#fanfic#fic#wille pov

If your critique of a biopic is “I really hate how they chose to [thing that happened in real life]” you may just be stupid
#do you guys remember when they did this abt Freddie mercury lol#post w a hundred notes that’s like I hate how cohns aids in the apprentice is framed as an allegory for his loss of power :/ BUT LIKE. THAT#THAT LITERALLY HAPPENED. HE LOST POWER BECAUSE HE HAD AIDS.#LIKE ITS NOT AN ALLEGORY#or like wow why is this movie bringing up trumps physical appearance kinda ableist :/ ok like. genuinely do you think the physical#appearance of a man who’s career was literally shaped by television. AS THE FILM IS EXPLICITLY ABOUT. might be affected by the physical#changes that come with aging.#ooos I meant to say do you think his psychology etc etc. you get it#this is exactly what I knew would happen w this where people just go into panic mode when anything acknowledges that Trump is like. an#actual person and not a caricature or literal biblical Satan.#warlock wartalks

anything less than a love story
(k.wright judas / matthew 26:50 / the last temptation of christ / stephen adly guirgis the last days of judas iscariot / the x files the red and the black, existence, ascension, tunguska, the truth)
#what level of absolute madness is this#kae web weaving#IF YOU WANNA KILL ME ALEX KILL ME#i am not immune to the xfiles biblical allegory#it's about 'do what you came for friend' x 'alex kill me' and how mulder only uses first names to establish connection
