#PASTOR DANA

[hee-blee-art]

sad and scary danas :( click here for some happy danas [link to another post]

[link to more bedevil comic art]

[image ID: six digital drawings mainly featuring pastor dana, a slim man in his 30s with light skin, long dark curly hair greying at the temples, a beard, and round glasses.

the first is a three panel page, where someone says "dana, your nose," and dana realizes his nose is bleeding. he replies, "oh! haha, must be dry in here. I'm ok. could you grab-?" and is cut off by a bloody cough as someone yells his name. the third panel shows him laying in a hospital bed, hair more grey now and red veins appearing on his skin, as his fiancé ben, a thin person with light skin and a shaved head, cradles his hand and cries. he says "I'm gonna be fine, ri," to which ben replies, "I know, you big dummy," and sniffles.

the second shows dana standing, dressed ina pink hospital gown, looking much worse. the red veins are much more prominent, and his hair is now all white. his eyes are all red. there are indistinct speech bubbles around him.

the third shows him pinning father eli - a thin possessed exorcist with light skin, short light hair, all white eyes, and slashes in his cheeks - against a wall. dana is saying, "you are one, exorcist, and the apocalypse is unfathomable many. their blood will be on you. you cannot save them, elias leon, not like this. heaven- and hell-fire will burn them all the same if this world catches."

the fourth shows eli pinning possessed dana hard against a different cracked wall and pulling a red veiny parasite demon out of dana's mouth.

the fifth is a bust of dana, now with shorter white hair and scuff instead of a beard, looking hollow. there is a text label with an arrow that reads, "post-possession haircut."

the sixth shows him talking with ben, who says, "you cut your hair - and your beard." dana solemnly replies, "yeah. felt like time for a change." ben says, "well it looks nice," with a curved brow. dana doesn't respond. end ID]

[beachlifelez]

When Dana confided in pastor's wife Rachel Jenkins certain "feelings" she'd been experiencing for other females, Rachel confidently took the lead in ensuring Dana was allowed to work through these feelings privately. With her.

"Are you sure this is OK, Miss Rachel?"

"You tell me, Dana. How are you feeling right now?"

"I'm on fire. I've never felt anything like this, I swear. What are we going to do now?"

"Well, if you'll agree to follow my lead, we are going to make each other feel really, really good. All afternoon. What do you think about that?"

"I think I'm ready to do anything you tell me, Miss Rachel."

"Then let's proceed, shall we?"

in the server i was given the opportunity to explain what we know about the history of the joycon so far, and bulk and sarah asked me to post it. unfortunately it was an audio file so here's my best shot at a cleaned up transcript

---

basically all you need to know about the joycon is this: in it devours pastor munn says that at some point in the past kevin had found an old oak door, had gone to the dow, had discovered the centipede (which they personify as being the smiling god [there may also be some personification with the light that exists in the dow that torments carlos while he's there, and is the reason the masked warriors wear masks]), and while kevin was in the desert otherworld he wrote a bunch of scripture about the centipede and his perceptions of its behavior. it's unclear what kevin knew about the about the worship of the smiling god before going to the dow for the first time. pastor munn says that after kevin was in the dow, he came back to desert bluffs and started proselytizing his findings over dbcr. but kevin said that strexcorp first showed him the smiling god. however, strexcorp was still taking over desert bluffs at the beginning of wtnv. in episode 19B kevin talks about how strexcorp is still buying up pieces of desert bluffs, so i don't know what the timeline looks like in terms of the potentiality of strexcorp encountering kevin, taking over dbcr, teaching him about the smiling god, sending him to the dow, bringing him back to desert bluffs, having him proselytize, and then taking over the town. it seems like a very tight, but possible, timeline, which gets into a lot of my theorizing about kevin, that I'm not gonna get into because it's outside the scope of this.

in addition, when dana goes to the dow, she tells cecil that there is an abandoned settlement of what we can assume were former smiling god worshipers (based on the orange triangle imagery in the abandoned settlement). so at the very least, kevin went to the dow, possibly with an expedition or team of missionaries or something, and they had some kind of settlement there for however long they were there studying the smiling god dana implies that something happened to the party (possibly something similar to what happened in it devours: the centipede, came up and ate everyone or destroyed the settlement beyond the point of them being able to recover it). so then kevin survives, comes back to desert bluffs, and starts proselytizing. it seems like the ability to get back to the dow was lost, because in the e38, the strexcorp representatives are looking for the orange that has the key to the old oak door. so i read that as strexcorp (which is either controlling the joycon or is controlled by the joycon) trying to get back into the dow but not having free and easy access to it. in it devours nilanjana and darryl were talking and darryl is telling her about what heaven looks like in their religion, which leads nilanjana to theorize that the joycon's heaven was the dow. based on this is seems like the joycon higher ups conceptualize the dow to be heaven and the centipede as being god (or the centipede being god manifest in the flesh because they also worship the light of the desert otherworld). so the joycon kind of factions off into what is like kevin’s controlled and led joycon in the dow (which has, i would assume lost communication with the night vale division) and the night vale division which seems to have kind of like a generational schism, where the younger folks (darryl and his friends) don't understand that their religion is not metaphorical. while the older generation (pastor munn and gordon), who were likely taught under kevin (pastor munn references to the fact that it's a very young religion and that the texts she has were passed down, i assume passed down from kevin or from one of his administrators [because it's even known from e135 that kevin has administrators within the church and is likely not directly leading the congregation]). the joycon is kind of multi-fractured between the folks who are directly following kevin in the dow, getting sermons and prophecies from him, and then the folks in night vale’s dimension (i'm assuming there are joycon worshipers in the other towns) whereas the older generations would have been ex-desert bluffs citizens (or I believe early in s1 maybe sometime in s2, cecil alludes to there being joycon worshipers in night vale, so i think it's like kind of a pervasive, minority faith within the universe). there would have been people, whether they're ex-desert bluffs citizens or not, who were getting pretty direct teachings from what would have been kevin-centered faith. a more pure, i guess, kind. and then the younger generations who grew up in the joycon and didn't get that same tutelage due to not having that direct link to kevin and hearing his story of actually having gone to the dow and knowing about his very real connection to the light in heaven and to the centipede. and they’re therefore taking everything as metaphor. even in it devours pastor munn kind of scoffs at darryl like “there's a centipede on the door. what are you talking about? how to do not understand this?��� so something is not being communicated effectively.

It's time for a Teller Wedding!

Part 5 of DODGERS VS PHILLIES BABY!!!

Pairing: Miles Teller x Fem!Reader

Chapter Summary: A couple months after the proposal, you guys decide to have the wedding in the Phillies stadium but have a little Dodger twist to it.

Warnings: FLUFF

Word Count: 1067

A/N: BEFORE Y'ALL COME AT ME, I respect Miles and Keleigh's relationship and marriage. THEY ARE RELATIONSHIP GOALS!!!! I wanted to write this because I love Miles and baseball. If you feel this isn't for you, please don't read it. 

Ever since Miles proposed to you at Dodgers stadium 8 months ago, you guys have been planning. Today is the day you get married!

The theme of the wedding had to be baseball but it was at Phillies Stadium. You were opposed to it at first, but after a little convincing from Miles, you decided to have it at Phillies Stadium. That place was a special place for you guys since that was where you guys had your first date.

Right now you were getting really in the visitors locker room at Phillies stadium. It was all decked out in Dodger decorations since it was the visitor's locker room.

"Are you ready Y/N?" You hear your mother call you from the door. Currently you are finishing your makeup and about to put on your wedding dress. " On my."

You see your Mom about to burst into tears, "Oh mom, don't start crying. I'm not in my dress yet." You give your mom a tissue so she can gently wipe the tears that were leaking out.

" I know, you look so pretty already. I'm just happy you're getting married" You smiled at her and gave her a hug.

As you were giving her a big hug, your brother came into the room. " Eww you look ugly." Your mother gently smacks Calvin for his comment. "I'm kidding. You look alright." 

"Thanks Calvin. Now I'm going to put on my dress. Get out or else you're going to see me naked." Calvin runs out of the room and you guys laugh. " Let's put on my dress. Can you help me mom?"

Your wedding dress was simple, the top had white lace and the bottom had a fluffy train of fabric. It may be simple but you loved it. You knew that Miles would love it too.

Once you're in your dress, your soon to be in-laws ask to come in. You agree for them to come in and they're in shock.

"Omg! Y/N you look so beautiful in your dress." Miles's sister, Dana compliments you. You thank her as you look in the mirror for the millionth time.

" Is Miles ready?" You ask your soon to be mother in law.

" Yes, he's ready. Are you ready soon to be Mrs. Teller?" 

"I'm so ready." 

Wedding Ceremony

Miles was at the altar waiting for you to come. He was so excited to get married to you, he wanted to get it over with so he can call you his wife. 

All of a sudden he hears wedding music play and sees you walking down the aisle with your father. You look absolutely perfect in your wedding dress.

Once you get to the altar he smiles at you, " You look perfect Sugar."

" You look very handsome Hot Stuff." You smile at him. " Let's get married."

Pastor: Welcome everyone to the wedding of Y/N and Miles. Thank you for being here in celebration of love. The couple has decided to give their wedding vows. Miles, you may go first.

"Okay here it goes." Everyone, including you, starts laughing. "Y/N. The moment I met you I knew you were the one. I may have been drunk at the wedding that we met but you gave me your number." They laugh once again.

"I texted you the next day and asked you out on a date. Thank God it was Phillies vs Dodgers because if it wasn't I would've lost you. Overall, I'm so happy that we got together and are now getting married. I can't believe I get to do life with you. I'm so excited to get to live together, have children, and grow old together. I love you Sugar."

The Pastor tells you it's your turn. You wipe your tears and start talking. " Miles, my love. When we first met we were at the same table. You were drunk and dancing to Single Ladies on the dance floor while I was watching Dodgers vs Angels at the table. You came to the table to get another drink but it turned into us talking. You asked for my number but I was nervous that you would forget me. I took a leap of Faith and gave you my number. The next day I was surprised that you texted me so we started talking. You then asked me if I wanted to go to a Phillies game with you and I asked if the Dodgers were playing. If they weren't I would've not come." The whole crowd plus Miles was laughing with you.

"I'm so glad you invited me to that game. I knew you were the one that day when you were holding my hand as we got out of the car. I love you so much that I can put on a Phillies jersey for you." You laugh as tears come from your eyes. Miles helps you and wipes your tears. 

"I love you Miles. I can't wait to do life with you. To move in together, to have mini Y/N and Miles, and to grow old together. I love you Hot Stuff."

Pastor: By the power vested in me and by the state of Pennsylvania, I announce you as Mr. and Mrs. Teller, husband and wife!

The crowd of people who were invited cheers as you and Miles kiss. You look into each other and smile. This has to be the happiest day of your life.

Wedding After Party

The After party was amazing, all your friends and family were there including some baseball players that you and Miles knew. You guys had a good time dancing and getting drunk, Miles was so drunk that he put on a Dodgers jersey and told you how much he loves you. You had to take a photo of that so you can post it on Instagram.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Teller!

After several years of ministry, former youth pastor Brett Bymaster, 47, was arrested on multiple counts of sexual assault of a minor.

Bymyaster served as a youth pastor at The River Church Community in San Jose, California. While on staff, he led students, engaged in events, and volunteered at an after school program. According to local news station, KRON4, Bymaster’s attorneys, Dana Fite and Renee Hessling, said that he “ministered on Christian ideas of sex health.”..

the marriage

Fox Mulder and Dana Scully stood before the altar, ready to exchange their vows and say "I do." It had been a long and challenging journey for both of them, filled with unexplained phenomena, government conspiracies, and close encounters of the extraterrestrial kind.

As they gazed into each other's eyes, their words faltered, caught in a moment of profound emotion. Mulder broke the silence, his voice barely above a whisper. "Scully, you've been my rock, my skeptic in a world of mysteries. I promise to always believe in you, even when the truth seems impossible."

Scully smiled, her blue eyes shining with affection. "Mulder, you've shown me a world beyond science, where the unbelievable becomes real. I promise to stand by your side, to investigate the unknown together, come what may."

The pastor smiled warmly, urging them to complete their vows. "Do you, Fox Mulder, take Dana Scully as your lawfully wedded wife, to love and cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Mulder nodded, his smile both tender and mischievous. "I do." The pastor turned to Scully, waiting for her response. "And do you, Dana Scully, take Fox Mulder as your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?"

Scully's voice quivered slightly, filled with both determination and affection. "I do."

The pastor pronounced them husband and wife, and the small congregation erupted in joyous applause. Mulder and Scully sealed their vows with a sweet, lingering kiss, surrounded by the love and support of their friends and colleagues.

Just as they had faced the unknown together countless times before, they now embarked on a new chapter of their lives, united in love, trust, and the belief that the truth was out there. And so, Fox Mulder and Dana Scully began their journey as husband and wife, ready to face whatever mysteries and challenges lay ahead, their love stronger than ever.

8 Quotes About Love For Our 8 Year Anniversary And Valentine’s Day

Eight years ago two stupid people chose to elope and move their honeymoon forward to a cheaper time. So then we just needed to have a super scaled-back elopement in town the weekend before. The weekend before was February 14th. So we called up the church to book the time and were shocked when the Pastor got very excited.

“How great of you to get married on Valentine's Day!”

We covered the receiver with our hands and looked at each other in shock.

“Holy f**k!”

You see the slight problem is that we hate Valentine’s Day. We have always hated Valentine's Day. We aren’t very romantic people and that kind of lovey-dovey BS just makes us sick. The only great thing about the holiday for us is that on the 15th chocolate hearts are 50% off. That’s why when we were now faced with eloping on our least favorite holiday we needed to come up with some quotes that reflected us and our journey.  So here are 8 of our favorite love quotes two of which were featured in our wedding. Have fun deciding which ones they are. 

“A good relationship should be boring” –Dana

“Love is the worst thing to happen to two or more people.” –Dana 

“Getting married for love is stupid.” –Dana

Love is suspicious, love is needy, love is fearful, love is greedy. My friends, there is no great love without great jealousy." — Bender, Futurama 

"Love isn't a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle. To love someone is to strive to accept that person exactly the way he or she is, right here and now." –Mr. Rogers

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.” – Unknown

“I think we love each other. As much as two people such as ourselves are capable of that emotion.” –Xanatos, Gargoyles

“Marriage is a choice. It’s a choice that you make every day. Because you don’t do it because it’s easy you do it because you believe in it.” –Michelle Obama

Our wedding was great but it was the biggest failed elopement ever with Ricky’s family hopping into a van and driving to New Jersey. We remember it somewhat fondly but what we remember more is that we chose to be with each other because we knew that we couldn’t think of a future without the other person in it. We hope that everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day and remembers the “reason for the season” which is half-priced chocolate hearts.

Pastor Anthony Burns (May 31, 1834 - July 17, 1862) was born enslaved in Virginia. His family was owned by John Suttle.

After Suttle died, financial problems prompted his widow to sell five of his siblings. She hired out the remaining siblings, including him. He performed a variety of jobs, including personal servant, sawmill worker, and tavern employee. He was given the responsibility of managing four other enslaved owned by Mrs. Suttle; he was allowed this freedom as long as he paid his master a fee from his earnings.

In March 1854, he escaped Virginia and boarded a ship to Boston. He found employment with a clothing store operated by Lewis Hayden, an abolitionist.

On May 24, 1854, he was arrested under the Fugitive Slave Act. African American and white Boston abolitionists who opposed the Fugitive Slave Act seized upon his arrest as a way to demonstrate their disapproval of the federal statute.

He went to trial where he was represented by Richard Henry Dana, Jr., a prominent white Boston attorney who stepped forward to defend him without charge, and African American attorney, Robert Morris. Despite their spirited defense, Judge Edward G. Loring ruled in favor of Suttle, citing the Fugitive Slave Act.

Boston Baptist preacher Leonard A. Grimes led supporters in raising money to purchase his freedom. On February 22, 1855, their efforts succeeded, and he returned to Massachusetts a free man.

He attended Oberlin College and then spent time as a pastor of an African American Baptist church in Indianapolis. He moved to Canada where he became the pastor of St. Catharine’s Ontario Baptist Church. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

I haven't done a reading log update in a while, but that's mostly because I have been struggling to finish books for the last few months (finish much of anything tbh. College and volunteering keeping me busy)

Some books I've finished mostly-recently:

Kindred by Butler: I found this a lot more meaningful a read than Parable. The characters and their relationships carry the entire story, which is... a lot different than Parable lol. And it opens SO STRONGLY. It's harrowing, and painful, and masterfully paced, and I love the main character Dana so, so much. I don't feel like I can speak much on this book considering the subject matter, but I do think it is one of the most thoughtfully written novels about trauma bonding (in a VERY specific context of Black people living under white supremacy and colonialism , and slavery in specific) I have read.

Jamaica Inn by du Maurier: I finished this like, yesterday, and I have mixed thoughts. When I first started reading it I was super engaged and speeding through it- it has all the baggage you'd expect from a white upper-class writer from 1930s Britain, but I liked the flow of the prose, and I really liked Mary as a protagonist, her drive toward action and her response to trauma, to the trauma her aunt is going through (though I also have thoughts there about the number of times her aunt is compared to a child.) I did think it was interesting that the novel is basically about the misogyny women must live through from men, even while it's bogged down by the author's own misogyny unquestioningly regurgitated as basic truths throughout the text.

But the last bit was just kind of ehhhh. There's a lot of very uncomfortable ideas around "evilness" being an immutable quality you are born with, something genetic (the Merlyns... even though Mary rides off with Jem Merlyn in the end, the fact he's "tainted" by his bloodline is never really contested, she just decides she'd rather risk the unpredictability of life with a criminal man that go back to the comfort and safety of her birth village), and (visible) disability being a sign of "evilness" and depravity (what the FUCK was up with the plot twist with the albino pastor being a secret evil pagan lmao lmao I thought it was interesting he was being framed as sexually predatory given he was the religious leader of a village and well-respected, albeit also impossible to trust due to the albinism being "sinister" and "abnormal" and "inhuman," but then sike, he's just an evil pagan wannabe. I guess to a contemporary reader the albinism alone would have been a sign he's not a truly moral upstanding Christian like he tries to appear as? idk)

Also there's a lot of racist elements to how Mary's uncle is described on top of the "he's evil because his father was evil because his father was evil etc" shit. (He's a white Brit but the language used....) and there are like several really erotically charged scenes where he shows mary how easy it'd be for him to sexually violate her, which is, well, something.

i don't regret reading it, I think it did illuminate a lot of why some trends in M/F romantic fiction exist. but jeez. a lot of thoughts.

i always writ ethe most about books i didn't like!!!

I've also been reading a lot of books about... whaling lol specifically in the context of 19th century US history.

The one book I finished was:

Black Hands, White Sails: The Story of African-American Whalers by Patricia McKissack and Frederick McKissack: TBH I only finished this because it's very short. I didn't realize it was "juvenile nonfiction" when I checked it out (not surprising actually, Patricia McKissack was a famous children's book author and wrote some of MY favorite childhood Royal Diaries books), so the writing is very simple, brief, doesn't go into too much detail about anything, and does try to present history almost like a storybook "narrative" to keep a child reader's attention. It's not badly written but it was not what I was hoping for or really want to read as an adult lol

I do think this was a good introduction to a history I have never once read about though- that is, the history of African-American men and women in the US whaling industry, how the whaling industry was inextricably linked to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade and also to abolition efforts, and the little-acknowledged-in-the-modern-day racial, ethnic and cultural diversity of whaling crews. It was one of the few occupations willing to hire free Black Americans, and also one of the few that people who escaped slavery had a chance of being hired onto with little questions asked (heavily due to the fact the early whaling industry formed in Nantucket which was a Quaker stronghold. And also heavily due to the fact they basically had to put up with insane amounts of economic exploitation if they didn't want to end up back in slavery.)

I think this is also a good intro to whaling as an industry in general. And it has a very good bibliography.

Besides this, I checked out a bunch of ancient tomes from the 1920s or earlier about whaling history from the public library, and some primary sources from my college's library (the journal of Mary Chapman Lawrence, a "whaling wife," and the journal of Nelson Cole Haley, a harpooner.) But I have... not made much progress on them cus I'm bogged down on other things. oops.
