"look into the trash and find a god" @ohmerricat 2024

instead of the cherry style at first i was gonna give them pink hair too but then I realized oh no. Loki would absolutely be the kind of person to pair RGB red hair with a pink crop top, which is in and of itself diabolical

Ynsemrianism

Ynsemrianism is a religion based on the belief in Ynsemrie, The Wandering God, who walks amongst humanity around each corner of the globe.

 Here are the core elements of this religion:

Beliefs:

1. Divine Wandering: Ynsemrianism teaches that Ynsemrie is a Deity who roams the world, assuming different roles and mantles throughout history. Ynsemrie has been revered as a God of War and Chaos during Revolutions, ALWAYS aligning with the poor and working class. In the Present Era, Ynsemrie is regarded as a God of Nature, Exploration, and New Discoveries.

2. Connection to Nature: Ynsemrianism emphasizes the Sacredness of Nature and its inherent connection to the Divine. Followers believe that Ynsemrie embodies the Spirit of the Natural World, and through Veneration and Communion with Nature, they can gain insight into the Divine Will.

3. Nomadic Symbolism: Ynsemrie is often represented through symbols of nomadic animals from different regions around the world. These animals embody the spirit of freedom, adaptability, and resilience. They serve as reminders of Ynsemrie's affinity for nomads and nomadic civilizations.

Practices:

1. Offerings: To venerate Ynsemrie, followers give thanks to the land and make offerings. Traditionally, these offerings included meats and blood from hunts, symbolizing the cycle of life and sustenance. However, in the modern age, Ynsemrie has developed a fondness for little cakes, pies, and Dr Pepper. These offerings are made as acts of gratitude and devotion.

2. Nature Reverence: Ynsemrianism encourages followers to spend time in nature, appreciating its beauty and contemplating its mysteries. Nature walks, meditation in natural surroundings, and participating in environmental conservation efforts are all seen as ways to connect with Ynsemrie's Divine Presence.

3. Exploration and Discovery: Ynsemrianism places great value on exploration and the pursuit of new discoveries. Followers are encouraged to seek knowledge, explore uncharted territories, and embrace change. Ynsemrie is seen as a guide in these endeavors, providing inspiration and protection to those who embark on new paths.

Sacred Days and Rituals:

1. Wanderer's Day: January 20th-21st This is a special day dedicated to Ynsemrie, celebrated with feasts, storytelling, and communal gatherings. It is a time to honor The Wandering God and express gratitude for the bounties of the land and the adventures of exploration.

2. Spring Equinox: March 19th-21st The arrival of spring marks a significant period in Ynsemrianism. It is a time to celebrate rebirth, growth, and the awakening of nature. Rituals are performed to honor the changing seasons and seek Ynsemrie's blessings for new beginnings.

3. Nature Preservation Day: April 22nd This day is dedicated to raising awareness about environmental conservation and promoting sustainable practices. Followers come together to engage in activities such as cleaning up natural habitats, planting trees, and advocating for the protection of endangered species. The day also serves as a reminder of the responsibility humans have to preserve and care for the natural world, in alignment with Ynsemrie's teachings as the god of nature.

4. Harvest Festival: August 1st This festival is celebrated during the autumn season, commemorating the bountiful harvest and the abundance of nature. It is a time to express gratitude for the earth's generosity and to Honor Ynsemrie's role as the god of nature. Festivities include feasting, music, dance, and offering ceremonies.

5. Festival of Exploration: June 20th -22nd This holiday celebrates the spirit of exploration and discovery. It is dedicated to honoring the courage and curiosity of explorers who have ventured into the unknown. Followers engage in outdoor activities, organize expeditions, and share tales of their own journeys and discoveries. The day is marked by communal celebrations and a renewed commitment to seeking knowledge and embracing new experiences.

6. Ancestral Remembrance: October 31st-Nov 1st This solemn occasion is dedicated to honoring and remembering one's ancestors. It is believed that the wisdom and experiences of past generations contribute to the collective knowledge and spiritual heritage. Followers pay homage to their ancestors through rituals, prayers, and the offering of food and drink. It serves as a time for reflection, connection with lineage, and the acknowledgment of the profound impact our ancestors have had on our lives.

7. Festival of Lights: Dec 20th-31st This joyous celebration takes place during the darkest time of the year, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness. Followers decorate their homes and public spaces with lights, candles, and lanterns to represent the illumination of knowledge, hope, and spiritual enlightenment. The festival includes storytelling, music, and feasting, fostering a sense of unity and optimism.

Symbols:

Here are expanded descriptions of the symbols associated with Ynsemrianism:

1. The Eternal Wanderer: Ynsemrie, the Wandering God, is often depicted as a figure in constant motion, symbolizing the divine spirit of exploration and curiosity. The Eternal Wanderer represents the perpetual quest for knowledge, the desire to explore new frontiers, and the ever-changing nature of life. Ynsemrie's depiction typically shows a figure adorned in nomadic attire, with a staff or walking stick in hand, embodying the journey through life and the pursuit of enlightenment.

2. Animal Spirits: Ynsemrie, being a god associated with nature, is often represented through symbols of nomadic animals from different regions around the world. These animals serve as sacred messengers, embodying the spirit of freedom, adaptability, and resilience. Some examples of these animal symbols could include:

- The Crow: Symbolizing strength, vision, and the ability to soar to great heights, the Crow represents the ability to see beyond the mundane and gain a broader perspective.

- The Wolf: Signifying loyalty, intuition, and survival instincts, the wolf embodies the pack mentality and the importance of community and cooperation.

- The Horse: Representing freedom, endurance, and the ability to traverse vast distances, the horse symbolizes the nomadic spirit and the desire for exploration.

- The Serpent: Associated with transformation, wisdom, and the cycles of life, the serpent represents the shedding of old beliefs and embracing new perspectives.

These animal symbols serve as reminders of Ynsemrie's affinity for nomads and the qualities valued by followers of Ynsemrianism.

3. The Divine Flame: As the god of nature and exploration, Ynsemrie is often depicted with a divine flame, which represents the eternal spark of inspiration and the divine energy that guides and illuminates the path of the faithful. The flame symbolizes enlightenment, passion, and the transformative power of knowledge and discovery.

4. Sacred Landscapes: Ynsemrianism holds a deep reverence for the natural world and the diverse landscapes it encompasses. Mountains, forests, deserts, and rivers are all seen as sacred manifestations of Ynsemrie's presence. These landscapes serve as reminders of the beauty, interconnectedness, and spiritual significance of the earth. They can be depicted in artwork, altar decorations, and sacred spaces to evoke a sense of awe and connection to the divine.

These symbols form the visual language of Ynsemrianism, representing the core beliefs and values of the religion.

Sun Wukong is such a cool character across the board since if you genderbent the character - very little would change other than the reactions of those around them.

LMK: Same character. Only difference is brief confusion from MK and Tang, who adjust their pronouns when speaking of Dawn accordingly. Relationship with Macaque unchanged.

Hero is Back: Short red hair, chewing on hay, tall af? Thats half the butch farmers in my county. Liuer has a brief moment of "The Great Sage is a woman?" before going straight back to fanboying about how cool Dasheng is. Zhu Bajie is likely shocked and appalled that he was defeated by a woman - tho still shoots his shot. Attract does not work on Dasheng. Story accidentally becomes a tale of a mother sacrificing her life to protect her son, and ends with the son sacrificing himself to protect his new mother.

Reborn: Still a chaotic hissing gremlin of a monkey. Brief moment of funny where the very feminine Taoist acolytes misgender Smokey as male since she still looks the same. Zhu Bajie hesistates to hit on Smokey (despite her very convincingly diguising herself as his wife during his recruitment), since she terrifies him. Smokey still arises from their false death cloaked in blue flame and lava. And still mourns the loss of Fruitie.

NewGods: Bigger plot twist of Ace's identity. No one has figured out her identity for so long (including Ao Guang) cus they all assumed SWK was a guy. Still a giggling, gambling lush. Yunxiang: "Hey whos this drunken, half-dressed old lady offerring to train me in exchange for a motorbike- oh sweet Buddha she's the Monkey King."

1999/2000 Cartoon: Sugar is already femme af. No change.

Netflix: Little character change, though Cherry's story would indirectly become a glass ceiling situation with the Immortals. Men can become immortal by killing lots of evil demons (source: Erlang & Hou Yi), but women gotta suffer (source: Guanyin). Bonus girl bonding with Lin.

Smash Legends: Starfruit leans into gender stereotypes for the views. Goes full tiktok e-girl with her asethetic. Would form punk girl band with Goldie.

And lets not forget how many live-action Sun Wukongs are played by women actors and/or stuntwomen.

Gender bending their Macaques also do not change much. Basically these monkeys could be any gender indentity and still be themselves

horizon gone godless

post-bhaal part one of three 800 words blood/gore cw

You die.

You wake.

You remember.

In a pool of blood (fathoms deep, an ancestral memory made flesh) you open your eyes, and for the first time in your ruinedruptured memory, you are—

—quiet.

At peace.

Empty.

Your first thought is

(absence)

Where?

(nightsinger is this your hand)

And then: how?

Blood surrounds you: soaks your hair your skin your hands. It seeps sticky into your mouth and clings to your armour, and as you sit up it cascades from you in glistening strings.

You are

(alone)

you are

(lost)

you are

alive.

You open your mouth, tasting gore, and you say

(Father)

help me

(forgive me)

someone tell me

what have I done

(what have I become)

and the voice that speaks before you can is familiar (all of it so familiar) and comforting and feels

(faithless, godless)

like

(Father)

something old something missing something lost in the rubble of your skull.

Your sister(sisterniece how many times removed how many times your own) lies on her back. The butler (vile, wretched, and it isn't your Father that makes you want to show teeth at the sight of the ruined corpse) lies opened beside her, a family portrait missing only one.

On your knees.

On your knees in the blood you wait, you listen (you pray):

(FatherFatherFather)

He talks, your newfather your notfather your notgod, and his words are kind but

all the powers of life and death

(blood in my veins notmine notHis not this)

you can't hear them over the emptiness in your head, the chasm between you. Nothing left but a tadpole nest and a silence that threatens to swallow you whole.

(Father I’m sorry)

Boots splash in the blood: hands touch your cheek, and come away stained. Your skin, metal and flesh, dyed crimson. The warmth doesn’t reach far enough down, down to where you

(pleasepleaseplease)

drown, the light above ever out of reach, but still those hands

(take it back take it back take it back)

hold you close, hold you still. Voices echo, in the cavern of stone and blood that is your chest (this temple, a sense memory, your body turned outwards), calling for you. Begging you to return.

Tiavyn—

(Father)

—can you hear me—

(can you hear me)

—please?

(please)

When you turn, mismatched eyes stare into yours. Scarred hands warm and wet and sticky on your cheeks, tipping your head like he can rattle you back to yourself. He's on his knees in the blood

(in your blood

in your Father's blood)

just like you, just like (all of you). Your tongue is heavy, corpse-swollen half-rotted in your mouth. Words squirm from your grasp, slick and bloodstained, your jaw locked-shut-muzzled. Your lips (split) (bleed) pull back, emptiness eating you from inside out, and for the first time in over a century—

—silence falls.

You slump, let him (himhimhim, Father forgive me I love him and it hurts) take your weight, brace himself (knees slipping in the blood) against you, your weight, your armour, the sin and sinew of you. His hands spread over your shoulders; tilt your head, lean into him, his skin, his warmth, his

name His name His name

breath hot against your cheek.

And still, your newgod (newFather neverFather) talks

(who hath challenged a god)

(I never wanted)

(and liveth to tell of it)

(I never wanted)

and still, the hands on you are gentle

(can you hear me, love)

and still, the emptiness inside consumes you.

Turn your heavy head and meet his eyes. See the way he looks at you, holds you tight like he lost you, like he loves you.

Try to remember his name, drag your filthy bloodstained claws through the ruin of your memory, through two deaths and countless almosts, and come up empty.

All you know is that his hands are warm on your skin, and you are so so cold. All you know is that he looks at you with pride and concern, and you warrant neither. All you know is—

“It was peaceful,”

your tongue fumbling the words, your hands shaking, and you look up at the God who stands over you and you saypleadpray:

“I just want to rest.”

And, merciless as any other, your new God looks down on you (your lover's hands tighten on you) and he says: “There is no true rest for those like thee,

faithless”

(faithless)

(searing through you

faithless godless nothing nothing nothing)

and his next words are almost lost, a hand reached down into the dark where you

drown.

“But when victory is won I swear I shall find thee a home,” and the hands on your neck are warm and careful and the emptiness in your skull eases, and out of the dark and the fog and the bloodbloodblood you close your hands on a name and a feeling.

*#rahab #antiimperialyahweh #newgod #theoriginal* As it’s well-known from the popular biblical stories, Yahweh, the God of the Bible, emerges on the world scene during the times of the slavery of the Israelites in Egypt. He makes quite a grand entrance as he subdues the imperial masters by bringing on ten different plagues upon them and liberates the Israelites from under the yoke of the Egyptian Empire. He even parts the Red Sea to make roads for the escape of the oppressed masses.
