If anyone was wondering what the United Methodist Church is like these days:

My mom is a delegate to our area's annual conference. While our church is trying to leave, we are still officially part of the UMC so delegates from my church attended. In the past 2 days of conference:

a motion to accept a government grant for a summer camp was delayed for like an hour because one woman got up to insist they add an amendment to the thing. She wanted it required that all people attending the camp would be taught about how they are on stolen land (I'm pretty sure her amendment passed)

A woman pastor who was defrocked decades ago for openly being in a same-sex relationship was reinstated

The ordination celebration for her and others that evening included drag queens

They sang Great is Thy Faithfulness but the lyric "oh God our Father" was changed to "oh God creator"

So yeah, not surprising but super frustrating and I needed to vent somewhere 🙃

#God help us and forgive us #anyway go global methodist #umc nonsense #silvia rambles

LINE READING SO DEVASTATING I NEED TO DIE ABOUT IT

#THE WAY POND'S FACE GOES FROM CLOSED OFF AND ANTAGONISTIC TO SLIGHTLY CONFUSED AND OPENLY VULNERABLE #[CLAWS MY FACE OFF AND THROWS IT INTO THE OCEAN]#i didn't add phum in the poll about my faves because we still have four episodes left and palm was already there but #GOD I LOVE THIS BOY SO MUCH #I COULD TALK ABOUT HIM FOR DAYS #and it's just so interesting how up until this point you buy into that mask of cool popular asshole he has been wearing around peem #and when in the first episode q says 'i've heard he's a top brat' and chain adds 'nobody messes with him unless they want trouble'#you're like yeah that checks out #and it's not like that's not true because phum can be all that #but also it makes you think about how people must have treated him in the past #not just his parents but his peers as well once he got back to thailand #because he puts that mask on with everyone when at his core he is actually such a soft boy who feels so much #toey used to get bullied and he took him under his wing #he learns that peem waited for him and feels so bad he keeps asking for forgiveness #the story started because phum wouldn't say sorry to peem but now the sorrys and the thank yous are like a second language to him #AND IDK WHERE AM I GOING WITH THIS OR WHAT AM I EVEN SAY I JUST KNOW I HAVE SOOOOO MANY FEELINGS ABOUT PHUM #IM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR HELP #we are the series #m: txt

You know what came today? My CONCEPT ART BOOK from trollhunters.

Did I spend way too much money? Yes.

Was it worth it? Absolutely.

I am gonna show some things that I really liked ofc starting with Strickler and Barbara just bc but I will talk about the others soon.

Sooo as for Strickler:

MY GOD WHAT?! I mean it has his basics but the first compared to the final is a bit weird?

His hair looks so goofy and his arms are so long but he also looks more... harmless?

In his final concept he looks so dark almost intimidating, like an actual villian and in his older one he looks more grumpy and ... rough?

Still like it tho, It could've been a different troll but it dosen't fit his character.

And I think you can see in the Stalkling concept much more similaritys to Strickler than in the show. His cape and the thing around his neck.

He is 100% part stalking and noone can proof me otherwise.

And I just liked those-

He is so awkward and I love it.

But this is the first and only time that we see Strickler this happy... Like okay it's just a concept but it's cute-

ANYWAYS..

Barb:

I actually like all of them but our original one is the best.

I really like the one with the ponytail on the left but it dosen't give much Barb vibes.

but HOLY SHIT!

THIS RIGHT HERE IS EVERYTHING.

Both of those hairstyles are perfect.

I am gonna pay the person who draws her with both of those hairstyles.

MY GIRL IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.

If anyone has to add anything then I am happy to hear it! :D

#trollhunters #walter strickler #toa strickler #toa trollhunters #barbara lake #stricklander #strickler #waltolomew stricklander #stricklake #trollhunters concept art #some of the concept arts like the one with Strickler on a bone throne aren’t in there #I assume they just didn't wanted to but it's kinda sad #Also I love how Walter and Barbara are mde in those #The result fits them perfectly #But honestly I will never forgive them for not giving us the Wedding and Strickler on a god damn THRONE #anyways I actually don't have much to say about this.#Next I will probably do the Janus order and after that Brinky and ARRRGGHHH (I don’t know how to spell his name sorry XD)#i hope you still like it #even if I am not so activ right now...sorry I just had a small burn out from everything but #-but most of this stuff helps a bit

just a kind word for all of you lovely folks out there: if you say the r-slur or you don't call out your friends for saying it then i hate your guts :)

#melonposting #i'm writing my piece for the ada's open letter in our school newspaper. and oh my god i am so angry!!!!!!!!!!!! :D #like to kill an ableist reblog to kill an ableist. you know the drill #ughhhh my school is supposed to be super progressive and it is in a lot of ways #but hmmmm no punishment for saying the r-slur? people using autistic and sped and disabled and bipolar and psychotic as insults 24/7?#forgive me if my math is wrong but it just doesn't add up! :)#and don't get me started on people throwing around the term 'intrusive thoughts' like it's soooo cute and quirky #dude. i literally get intrusive thoughts. please leave the school building and never come back. expel yourself #'tee hee i let the intrusive thoughts win!!' and i will win in hand to hand combat against you. shut up #if you reading this are someone i know at school who did something like this don't come groveling to me #it doesn't help. if anything it just makes me feel guilty for calling you out #and for goodness sake you know i can't stand up for myself. please call people out for their sick bs when you know i can't #thank you :'D

My 3 little cousins were baptized today. "Triggered" is kind of a strong word but being in a catholic church again... I'm a little fragile rn ngl.

#butch speaks #it was hard not to shake as i held J over the basin to have the water poured on his head #when he was cleansed of sin. as if a little kid could ever knowly or intentionally offend a so-called loving god #the words came naturally to me #but they meant nothing #i remember when they used to mean something. when i begged gods forgiveness for my sin (being a lesbian) and tried to pray the gay away #i remember how much i wanted to die bc i could never truly embrace the sacred #i STILL deal with the complex of catholic guilt. its a very real thing. its hard to shake #i cant help but wonder if the catholicism ingrained in my brain is why i have a hard time with casual dating n sex #fun fact: there was a point when i was a teen that i got REALLY catholic #i prayed everyday. i talked to my patrin saint (st agnes) every day. i wantsd to become a nun #the thought of marrying a man mad me more sad than feeling like an alien did. so id marry the church as a nun.#not the way to hide being a dyke when ur fam is catholic btw LMAO #the first priest i knew was father joe. i loved that guy. he was so kind. friendly. briming with love.#he was one of my biggest references for what a good person was like #he talked about gods love a lot. how its for everyone. no one is exluded. ever.#he used to look right at me when he said stuff like that. a few other kids too. all of whom grew up to be queer #then father joe passed away. our church merged with another church. father jeff was the priest there.#he was kind but not as kind. he talked about hell and sin more. he looked at the same kids father joe did.#but the kindness in his eyes wasnt there.#that wasnt for us.#my family wasnt even THAT catholic #i went to church every sunday i did vacation bible school and catechism classes and youth group #i was an altar servant and in the choir #i even used to speak/understand a little latin #imagine how much worse id have been if my mom could have afforded catholic school lmao #grateful to have grown up poor in that regard #hm. actually... reading my own tags. mayne we were pretty catholic actually.#fucking hell.#i need to have lesbian sex in a church before god and everyone. mayeb that would fix me.

It's so difficult, because I genuinely do want to understand what the whole deal with Christianity is, but Christians are so apposed to any line of questioning about their belief system (in a way that no other religion is) that if you say anything they don't like they shut down and accuse you of being a sinner.

And it's like bro, I'm not trying to be insulting, I'm trying to understand why this religion is even appealing to you. How do you manage to get so many converts when you're not even willing to answer basic questions about your theology?

Everyone I've found who's actually willing to discuss Christian theology with me is an ex-Christian which is super unhelpful, because ex-Christians are people who have deconstructed Christian belief and come to the conclusion that it doesn't work for them. They're always very cynical about the whole situation. That's not what I'm looking for.

I want to talk to someone who's still into it. I want to understand what actually draws people to this religion ( I do not want to be trauma dumped at - I don't know what aspect of Christian belief confuses y'all into thinking that trauma dumping is an appropriate substitute for theological discussion, but it absolutely isn't).

Like you would really think for one of the most popular religions in the world finding answers to this stuff would be easier. Why can't you guys just talk about your beliefs?

#Christianity #religion #like I just don't understand #if the basic conceit of the religion is that God sent his only son down to Earth so that he could relate to and better understand humans #then I have a lot of questions #because a) if he's a all knowing god why does he need help understanding humans anyway?#b) if you're taking the Bible literally. Why would he then require Jesus to be celibate and die at 30?#like aren't sex and aging and relationships all parts of the human experience that god would want to know about?#and c) if you're taking the Bible metaphorically. The meaning of this story seems to be #that the divine will never truly relate to or understand you. That you are infact so different from the divine #that if an aspect of god came down from the heavens to interact with the people #your sins and the sins of your community as a whole would kill that divinity before it could live out a full human life #which is a genuinely interesting concept! like I would read a novel with that plot #but I don't understand why that's appealing from a faith perspective #is the appeal the act of forgiveness afterwards?#like the divine are so fundamentally different from us that we would kill them but they would forgive us for that difference anyway #why is difference something that must be forgiven rather than accepted?#like do you see why I'm confused by this stuff?#anyways #posting to this blog because a surprising number of Christians follow me here #maybe one of y'all can help me understand

one day ppl online are gonna have to learn that there's no way to cordon off "male" sexuality as uniquely bad and gross without just ending up saying sexuality is bad and gross on the whole (conservative, reactionary, dangerous, tired)

#i feel like i see this so often and i'm sick of it #woman masturbating? Liberated! man masturbating? gross probably creepy and harassment actually!#woman wants to have sex? great! man wants to have sex? desperate!#single woman? she doesn't need a man. single man? Wenchless maidenless #obviously that doesn't even get into the het or cis assumptions-- forgive me for invoking these Categories #but like. switch it up as much as you want flip the script as much as you want but it's still the same old nonsense #as a woman: i don't want this on my behalf lmao #it helps none of us #also citing sarah schulman on the '#predatory' lesbian trope making accounts of ew gross a man was Into me feel especially uncomfortable #yay desire is shameful as always. thank god (cis) women are safe now.#safe purely as potential victims in a desireless and strictly gendered discourse landscape where no one is ever weird or wants #my posts #everyone else has already said this and smarter than i but whatever

“maybe if i, an 8yr old, managed to talk sense into my groomed and deeply traumatised 13yr old brother, maybe he wouldn’t have accidentally almost killed himself and become a villain” and no one in that room disagreed with him??

#none of them?#not one of them went hey maybe it wasnt on us literal children to try and help him?#this is where the endeavour redemption completely lost me #it was as well written as it could be up until this point #natsu still hating him fuyumis trauma response of lets just bury everything and be a normal family shoutos conditional forgiveness #especially when endeavour said ill buy you all a house and you never have to see me again #i could live with that. i hate it (make him face a lasting consequence for the love of god) but i could live with it #he doesnt deserve forgiveness and he deserves every ounce of emotional pain hes experiencing bc holy shit he irrevocably ruined five lives #but then they really turned around and said yeah us victims share the blame for how touya turned out #what the fuck #reis level of blame is debatable since even if she was mentally stable she was still always in the mindset of hey this guy Bought Me #and his continued Buying Me will fund my parents who Sold Me to him #even before any anbuse happened she was never going to be able to stand up to him #endeavour groomed touya just like afo did with shigaraki except even worse bc it happened from day dot #then he completely cut him off from the thing he groomed him to be and dumped him on rei until he got the child he wanted #dabi was never anything but endeavours fault and the fact that the narrative is trying to make them all share the blame #and frame it as a see endeavour when we all share fault and support you isnt it easier for you? cant you stand up and solve the problem now?#its the most classic victim blaming ive ever seen and were supposed to just take it and be like aw theyre facing dabi as a family #fuck off #and even then he still freezes and makes shouto fight dabi #you cant do it so i the 16yr old you also abused will fight my brother the kid you drove to accidental suicide for you #and when he finally gets over himself (after shouto is nearly killed dont forget that) and decides hes finally strong enough to fight him #were supposed to cheer that moment?#yay hes finally going to look at touya! were the fuck was he an hour ago cause he aint done shit against afo #the family needs to share blame and support him so he can face the blame and support himself fuck off #go beyond plus ultra #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #endeavour #dabi #todoroki shouto

just watched challengers at the cinema w my little sister. it was so intense wtf

#i was like grabbing onto my scalp just yanking my hair in the last 5 mins and at the end i yelled (quietly) LOVE WINS!#bc there were only 4 other ppl in the cinema lol #its so fucking stupid on the surface like ok complicated polyamory and also insane obsession with a sport bc that is what makes these people #who they are; as in the sport IS their identity as individuals that's what fills the void that lies underneath skin and bone etc.#blah blah basic shit about messy relationships with the self and romantically with others #but it's also so profound because despite the many obstacles and personality differences. they all love one another and the sport so much.#it's so weird it's twisted in a sense because it's like they only have one another and then obviously tennis (bc tennis is the bridge)#it's very.. codependent #i can't believe my little sister understood like not in a condescending way i cant believe she got it but in a “oh i didnt know you watched #stuff with this much emotion and that you cared enough to critique media“ since she doesn't usually tell me about what shes watching #and when she does she tells me about sitcoms ..#so yeah it was nice that we watched it together but also kind of weird bc #well surface level: the make out scenes were just us giggling awkwardly #and on a deeper level when i was watching it. i couldn't help but think about how #patrick at some point turned into an observer; he stopped being a part of the art tashi patrick trio (and tennis!) and turned #into a spectator #despite very much still being a fellow player #and then tashi became a spectator of the sport despite very much being absorbed in it all and in love with art (?)#i dont know what else to call it but her need to control him came from a place of some kind of care ... albeit manipulative and self serving #so Patrick and tashi are almost parallel lines if that makes sense #theyre kicked out of “the club” whatever the club may be (for Patrick he's no longer in the trio) and for Tashi once the trio is long gone #she's no longer a competitor bc of her injury #and then art is just in the middle of it all #and he'd always followed Patrick's lead in the past and then he started thinking for himself until he became so taken by Tashi #and then he just became her little follower #he just wants to be loved and told what to do because he doesn't know how else to live. im projecting? im projecting. anyway!#the ending. god. the ending sums up their whole past dynamic:#patrick is petty. art is irritated. tashi doesn't get their little dynamic. patrick loves art. art is forgiving. tashi loves the sport #(and maybe she loves them both in her own fucked up control freak way)#z.post

tumblr users love not tagging flashing lights its their favorite thing to do

#god may forgive you but i won't. fucking tag your shit.#don't know if its worse when people are just thoughtless and dont tag it #or if people DO tag it but their system is so fucking bullshit that it doesn't filter through #like sorry but your // tw flashing // doesn't fucking help anyone i shouldn't have to know your unique system to not see something that can #cause me to die or have severe pain or distress lmao.#like you obviously know it can be a trigger why you purposely using a unique tagging system #‘its for my followers!!!’ okay but posts get recommended? your followers may not know how you tag shit? theres no excuse!!!#its vastily inconsiderate to the people youre trying to protect!!#i have over 100 tags filtered and still am forced to risk getting intense migraines or having a seizure because you wanna be quirky #okay. ransom angry hour over. i got a migraine and my hands are twitchy and am going to bed now lmao.#ransom note

Sometimes I forget that not everybody shares my sense of humor.

Just bought three issues of my yearbook and an old classmate (she’s an old soul. A very odd girl, but a truly kind one nontheless) asked me, softly as a joke,

“Oh Coen, those are quite a lot of yearbooks! I hope your parents aren’t breaking up? 😅”

And I flatout monotonous replied “Sadly they are not”

She was quite worried after that.

#growing up with an abbusive mom #and oh god my dad is the most kind man #i love him to death #i can honestly without shame say that he is my best friend #but i will never forgive him for loving that lunatic #even worse: she has a midlife crisis now #i mean she has always been in crisis but it’s worse now #the woman turned ‘spiritual’#and spiritual people are not a problem to me #i might be an atheist but you do you boo #my boyfriend is spiritual and I love his outlook on life #but my mother buys box after box of tarot cards and crystals and all that shit #and wanna know what makes it so horrible?#she doesn’t have a job #so she buys this shit which she uses as a front to avoid responsibility from my dad’s hard earned money #so you see why I hate her now?#she is now in therapy but honestly I feel like that barely helps #oh and the cherry on top? she is now writing a book.#on m e n t a l h e a l t h #you can’t make this shit up #welcome to my life dear followers #me #personal #narc mom #coping #humor #relatable memes
