@furiaei asked: ' I wonder : would you ever love enough to deify me? I would be a generous Goddess, this much you can know. you sing your worship, I will bestow you my kiss and bliss to bring your whole being to tremble. then, once I am unshackled from the human vessel I presently inhabit, the memory you keep will be my altar, my icon, my existence. I may be but a flicker in the grand scheme of things. for all that, should you choose to love me, I will burn for myself a place in your eternity none other will ever be able to inhabit. I will incinerate for myself a place into the very essence of you. '

there was a time when god made up everything he was. was it possible? could he let go, and give into it again? 𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐲, to bow his head and allow another to choose what in life matters. it makes life less terrifying, makes pain feel like it holds more weight and meaning.

enduring forever would be less of a climb. simpler.

" and what... " his tone is careful, and calm. the timid nature he has carried for centuries now-- washes away. a chalkboard, half emptied. there is a desperation bubbling beneath his skin, itching the back of his mind. to experience divinity, to embody it and feel the touch of a god-- does he want that? " what would you want me to give? love? " uncertainty laces his tone, despite his best efforts. he's been burned before. " is that all? how... then, can i know you would not leave me? when i have served that purpose... "

a brief pause, a breath, just to think.

" love me, as i love you... and i will give you everything. " a hand to his chest, a heat at his core. " an altar, right here, one i will hollow out myself. my purpose, my reason for living. nothing will be off limits. my flesh, my bones. my spirit, should i ever find a way to depart. everything. "

another breath. it feels like hours...

" i cannot take another betrayal, mya. i can not. "

Really wild to me that goyim will say "I haven't studied antisemitism so I can't recognize it so you're just a bunch of controlfreak self-victimizing attention-seekers when you say this timeless antisemitic trope is antisemitic," & then have "nazis dni" in their bio or call themselves anti-fascists or rally for nebulous equality. The ones that don't claim to be some kind of leftie are part of the same issue. When both are saying the same thing it gets reeeally hard to tell if we're talking to an outright Jew-hater or just some schmuck that really thinks their intentions negate all harm.

Other people have said it better but you can't just (claim to) hate nazis & think that frees you from perpetuating antisemitism. Nazis didn't invent antisemitism & I think most gentiles will not do the work to truly fully unlearn it b/c it Does take a lot of time & effort & self-reflection, it's not something you can do passively. Anyway, just b/c You don't see the antisemitism in something doesn't mean the Jews pointing it out just feel like whining. Either listen to us or accept that you're a bigot.

Truly nothing worse than when another volume of Don Quixote gets translated and I have to deal with a flood of dumb Englishmen who don’t get any of the cultural context. This isn’t one of your little Shakespeare plays, it’s a profound meditation on Spanish values!

Penis poll by complete accident LMAO I genuinely thought there would be more people who saw it as white sclera/ black pupil (that's how I always process it looking at the sprite I'm sorry 😔).

I'm just curious/ for science/ etc. whatever the hell explanation you want for this (the truth is I got the FNaF ADHD and constantly think abt this stuff).

Fred from Scooby Doo does have a catchphrase.

His problem is that everyone else's catchphrase is a reaction. "Zoinks", "Ruh-roh", "Jeepers", "Jinkies"... these are all statements of surprise, shock, dismay. Something happens, and one or more of these is deployed by the gang.

Fred's catchphrase doesn't work in this context.

Though, admittedly, it would be funny if a monster popped out of the woodwork and Fred's first reaction was "Let's split up, gang!"

So you've established what Maru, Sam, Sebastian, and Alex would be like later in life. Do you have a headcanon for future Haley?

xoxo

So... 👉🏼👈🏼 these were supposed to be quick sketches but Haley is SO fun to draw that I fully lost control of the situation - anyway, I present you Fashion Photographer Haley ✨ thank you for the ask bby

I definitely picture our Haley in an artistic yet stylish environment, I just know that she would absolutely thrive as a photographer who works for fashion magazines and brands!! Imagine her being so bossy around the set, with the crew AND the commissioners, but everyone put ups with her because her work is that good. She would definitely also keep doing some personal photography as well, that would be more niche and intimate.

By the way my hc is that Haley wears contacts, but I think that with age she would grow more confident in wearing her glasses again!

Finally, as a Haley/Leah lover, I think they would marry and have a very private and tranquil home in Pelican Town (maybe they upgraded Leah's cottage!) where they would work from - Leah creating her art and Haley working on post production after her jobs. Imagine a home in the woods, full of artsy stuff and good lighting like PLEASE adopt me 🥹 On this topic tho I don't see them ever wanting kids! Which is kind of a shame for the sole reason that Haley would look great as a soccer mom and Leah could teach woodwork to her children - but there is only one princess in the family and that happens to be Haley ✨ And they would travel a lot to fuel inspiration!

all our love came out of the woodwork

(just wanted to isolate this panel from my twohats lyric comic without text! because i really liked it and think they deserve a chance to exist in this happy moment together without the dread of the context weighing it down.)

[enbycrip]

So given the Rowling stans crawling out of the woodwork to say they are still allies - or worse yet, community members - while still plastering Potter stuff all over their online presence by saying they “separate the art from the artist” after the latest acknowledgment that she is trying to swing Labour in an even more transphobic direction, a short primer on what “death of the author”, which is the origin for that less provocative phrase, actually means.

“Death of the author”, in extreme brief, is an academic construct that was developed at a time when the author as the sole arbiter of meaning in a text was very privileged in the discourse to help people understand that any interpretation of a work is valid *as long as it can be supported by textual evidence*. Your interpretation of a text, as the reader, is as valid as the author’s *if* you can produce just as much, or more, evidence from *within the text itself* that supports your interpretation.

This is particularly useful for students within an academic context.

It is *not* in any sense a reasonable justification to say that one is not *actively supporting* a living artist/author/creator, particularly one who has gained huge cultural influence and financial wealth, by buying and actively promoting their work.

Genuinely, I wouldn’t engage with work from a dead very bigoted artist without acknowledging their bigotry.

If I write about or produce a story set within the Cthulhu Mythos, you had better bet that I am acknowledging Lovecraft’s horrific and pervasive racism and misogyny and the effects of that within the Mythos.

If I write about or do some sketches that acknowledge Degas as an influence, you can bet that I am acknowledging his rampant racism and antisemitism and the fact that his familial wealth which allowed him to have the financial freedom to create the art he did was built on plantation slavery in the Caribbean.

If I write about or paint something with Klimt’s ethereal goldwork as an influence, you can bet I’m writing about his deeply abusive sexual relationships with the women he drew and painted, that he used sapphic eroticism in his work while sexually abusing working class sapphics he paid to model for him, and acknowledging that he had the freedom to produce that work because he got the women in his family to tend to his every whim and perform all his domestic labour for him.

That’s the basic acknowledgment you undertake while engaging with the work of someone deeply bigoted - *even* if they are not directly benefitting from your engagement with their work because they are deceased. The material conditions around how a work is produced and consumed are *always* relevant to that work, because otherwise we miss why, for example, privileged people have the time, resources and cachet to create art and have it be consumed *as* art, while other people never have the resources to do so or have the work they create relegated to categories like “domestic crafts” if it is acknowledged at all.

So just saying “I can separate art from the artist” while financially supporting a living bigot who continues to use your money and the cultural cache you are giving her by doing so to wreak genuine damage on the queer, especially trans, community - that’s basically both completely meaningless and incredibly disingenuous. Particularly when said bigot is *actively* attempting to parlay that financial and cultural influence into making an already very transphobic, racist and disableist political party who are, according to current polls, likely to be running the U.K. shortly, into supporting more actions that *will* materially harm trans people.

why do all the publicly available copies of the Arcanic Scriptures have Chapter 2 missing?

For context: I'm answering other people's lore questions! Drop me an ask about your lore and watch me get it comically wrong!

Alright, let's begin!

The Arcanic Scriptures are named after Bob Arcanic, a famous woodworker. He wrote the widely renowned manual, which were called scriptures for the reverence with which other woodworkers treated it, for free and distributed it widely to make woodworking a more easily accessible trade <3

Chapter 2 contained a special secret technique called woodbending, which entailed turning wood liquid so it could fit any form and didn't have to be sanded smooth.

Unfortunately, Bob's greatest competitor, Meanie MacFuckFace, didn't want such a precious secret to be spread, because it would lead to a decrease in his and other master woodworkers' profits. So he hired the world's greatest assassin and thief to kill Bob and destroy all copies of Chapter 2:

Fluffypaws. *Gasp*

Fluffypaws demanded all the fish in the Great Lake as compensation for her services, and Meanie agreed. She snuck into printing presses and homes in the dead of night by sitting at people's front porches and meowing piteously until they let her in for warmth, before clawing the pages of Chapter 2 to shreds and disappearing.

Before she could get to Bob, however, he caught wind of the contract. In what would come to be spoken in awed whispers for aeons to come, he performed a great act of woodworking. Using his wood-bending, he took all the trees surrounding the Great Lake and bent it to become a massive sieve. Then, as Fluffypaws descended on him, he used the sieve to fish up every single fish in the Great Lake and handed it to her.

Fluffypaws, delighted, agreed to forsake her contract and protect him instead. Though he could not afford to pay her to protect every copy of the Arcanist Scriptures, he kept her by his side to protect his life and his personal copies of chapter 2. And though Meanie MacFuckFace's new hired goons could destroy publically circulated copies of Chapter 2, none could get past the magnificent Fluffypaws, long may her white fur be luscious and easy may the blood wash off it.
