#I'm not actually a christian

My instacart shopper noticed I added Easter cupcakes to my order, so she texted me "Happy Easter!" in the app and I was like "Happy Easter, Passover, Ramadan, and/or Saturday, depending on what you celebrate!"
so after she dropped it off and was going to her car, she called HAPPY EASTER! and then HAPPY PASSOVER! RAMADAN! and I'm yelling HAPPY EVERYTHING! and she's like HAPPY LIFE!!!
and wow, it really is a happy life sometimes, isn't it? when everyone's kind to each other. 💜
#just me#I'll be real with you I just thought the cupcakes were cute and I like carrot cake#I'm not actually a christian#she also tried to take my groceries inside because I'm disabled but I was like NO NO IT'S FINE#ma'am my house is messy af I'm still unpacking don't worry about it#easter#passover#ramadan#happy easter#happy passover#happy ramadan#happy everything#happy life

Do you ever think about how without Judas there is no Christ story? The man whose name becomes a byword as a symbol for betrayal was playing his role in the Divine Epic.
"Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, which say it must happen in this way?" -Matthew 26:53-54 (NRSV)
Idk man, it sucks to be the villain in a story where without you playing your role humanity cannot be saved.

i know it will never happen but i so desperately desire an origins-type playable backstory thing in all games but especially veilguard. i feel like it added so much depth to origins and made you feel instantly connected to your character in a way that gets lost in games like inquisition where you fill in the blanks as you go except for the bare basics. like, i do enjoy the freedom to willy nilly decide where a character was before the events of the story from a creative perspective, but the playable origins were just so good! especially when you go back to where your warden is from and can engage differently with the arcs there
#i'm so sorry to anyone who hates da that follows me lmao i will keep stuff tagged#i'm probably going to be so annoying about this new game even if i hate it aofijeoijw which is probably likely#maybe i'll actually get around to replaying the other games now. we'll see#i had started origins but just wasn't feeling it bc tbqh it's just a bit clunky and none of the romance options really speak to me anymore#morrigan is great but i feel like she doesn't fit the character i wanted to play afoweijaoi and leliana scares me in dao lmao#i get such ick from overly religious characters faowiejfao#like i like her and cass in theory but in reality i want to run away screaming#it's different if the fake religion isn't overwhelmingly christianity-based but the da one is#and it makes me feel like there are bees under my flesh#dragon age#*dykeposting

Silco was born in the dark. Home to him is the greasy green of oil-lamps and the buzz of the electrics, powered with bunched cables that trailed overhead and fanned out at the tunnel junctions. It's the smell of coal and tallow, stone dust and diesel backwash. It's the crunch of grit between his teeth. It's thirst. The fissure folk were always wary of miners, said they could see in the dark. It's true. Silco can. --- Silco endures wounds upon wounds, and still he doesn't die—but he's not the only one. Don't all monsters come from the dark? Tell me about Zaun again, Vander.

Pairing: Silco/Warwick, Silco/Vander Rating: Explicit Chapters: 1/3

This is a gift for the amazing @wishfulsketching and their bomb ass Silco-meets-Warwick fanart. I was sooososo inspired by the image of Silco screaming the fuck back into Warwick's face! That's a love language babey! I think Silco deserves a werewolf boyfriend who eats people!
(Thank you to @withercrown and @spicedrobot for the beta and edits! Mwah mwah!)
#zaundads#vanco#silco#vander#warwick#silco x vander#silco x warwick#arcane#the thing is. i love them#i care so much about zaun and early revolution days actually#i care that it was their vision. i care about how much they suffered#and what they endured to try and make zaun real#i care that they were the people to carry that torch and make that vision real#and what that really meant for them#and what it says about them#and what it cost them#i just fucking love vander and silco SO MUCH you guys#dare i say it... s2 critical#let me make it make sense#'outta my way straight boy' but i'm speaking directly to christian linke and elbowing him in the nuts

How do you sleep at night? No one to hide behind Betrayed every alibi you had You had every chance to make amends instead you got drunk on bitterness And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad

if you claim to be Christian and trigger tag things about God and religion, i am blocking. your identity is not in Christ if you think your faith is something that you can separate out to make yourself more palatable to the world. i pray you do not hear those words, "depart from me, i never knew you"
#*#I'm sure most people who do things like that think they're being kind but they are not#i never want to see a tag like 'cw: christ' on one of my posts ever again lol#it doesn't offend me from non Christians obviously#but to see supposed Christians doing it is actually upsetting

i kind of think the idea of "monotheist privilege" at least in the north american context has about the same valence as "monosexual privilege" in that it does on some level exist, but lumping christians and jews together as oppressors is incoherent in the same way that lumping together trans lesbians with cishet men is
#like yeah i'm sure lateral harm can occur but the analysis as a whole...#and esp when these criticisms aren't coming from for example indian americans#but rather from - at least in large part - culturally christian neopagan#s#not speaking about that specific person as i don't want to speculate about individuals' backgrounds#but rather the aggregate#in that many many conversations on this website have revealed that culturally christian pagans can be *very* hostile in their belief that#jews are oppressing them just as much if not more than christians are#and react REALLY badly to any implication that actually they're in at least somewhat of an oppressor position#look like at the granular level hegemonies are bad and things should be inclusive - like of course#but the vitriol directed at me over that poll isn't warranted#and the extremely ironic thing is that the poll *is* christianormative BECAUSE i as a marginalized person was capitulating to the majority#and creating something legible to christians and cultural christian's#*christians#i was stepping OUT of my own cultural frameworks and acceding to someone else's for greater.... ease of *their* understanding#so to then be accused - by multiple people - of having a tiny narrow worldview is. it's something#but i guess that's the price of capitulation isn't it?#in any situation#loon.txt

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes reviews I've seen fixate on the story's discussion of whether humans are inherently good or inherently evil as if one side or the other is the correct answer. Meanwhile the story itself is showing that individual choice in every action--choosing to act out of either love or self-interest--is what truly matters in shaping society. A free and stable society requires that people be taught to make selfless choices rather than act out of fear. Instead of oppressing people into fearful order, citizens need to have the freedom to choose the good, and be educated with the values that teach them what good is.
#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#the hunger games#i'm still mentally fighting with that christian review of the movie#'the movie discusses whether humans are inherently good or evil but the truth is we're depraved and need a savior'#and meanwhile i'm like#'well first off i don't think calvinist doctrine is going to help you here'#and i'm also like#you think the story*isn't* wrestling with the fallen nature of humanity?#you think it doesn't recognize that there's no merely human answer that can solve the problem of evil?#that we have to be fools by the world's standards to create a world worth living in?#can you actually understand what this very didactic story is telling you or do i have to do everything here?

"contentment in singleness" doesn't require you to stop desiring marriage & family. it doesn't require you to stop pursuing marriage & family.
Christians are called to be content in any situation--that doesn't mean we abandon all our good desires and concrete goals.
contentment is to trust/rest in God's promises to love you, provide for you, and make you holy.
you can do all of those things, and earnestly want and seek a husband.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord. Proverbs 18:22
"Favor from the Lord" meaning, of course, blessing as the result of a life molded by wisdom.
Now, how can one find a good wife without seeking? Seek without wanting? And how can wisdom and contentment be mutually exclusive?
#this post brought to you by the drive home from church yesterday#when I realized that I'm very comfortable (and have been for awhile) where I am#unmarried and unattached but planning to be otherwise#and if I'm always planning for something that never happens? well that's just fine too#I'll have spent my youth becoming the woman I always wanted to be--not for a husband and children but for my parents & the church#and I think it took realizing that I didn't have to give up a good desire before I could *actually* be content#we are called to desire Christ's return always. that doesn't equal discontentment with our lives right now.#Christianity#x#for me it's now as simple as the Created Order fact that MOST people need to marry and procreate to keep civilization from collapsing#and on another level (mapped OVER that fact) it's as simple as God's ordinary means of kingdom-building being families#but goodness knows Christian young people have been inundated with so much overthought on this subject (myself included)#that it's necessary to parse it all out sometimes

Y'all I'm done trying to argue with y'all anons and rebloggers bc if you're not gonna agree with me, I'm not going to make you agree with me.
I don't hate LGBT people, I just disagree with LGBT lifestyles.
I think everyone has inherent human rights, including LGBT people.
Saying your beliefs are wrong is not discrimination. You're allowed to disagree with me. It's not my job to change your mind.
Anyway I got work so if anyone gotta say anything (useful for building up, hate anons get deleted) inbox is open.
Jesus loves you.
Praying for y'all
#christian kirbo hours#poyo#y'all I got work#if you wanna have an actual conversation with me that's ok but I'm not entertaining rudeness.

"...Will you go home?" — "Well, it's not like I have much of a home to go back to. I've never really...belonged anywhere."
Pocahontas (1995)
