* * * * *
Pity the nation that wears a cloth it does not weave and eats a bread it does not harvest.
Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero, and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.
Pity a nation that despises a passion in its dream, yet submits in its awakening.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice save when it walks in a funeral, boasts not except among its ruins, and will rebel not save when its neck is laid between the sword and the block.
Pity the nation whose statesman is a fox, whose philosopher is a juggler, and whose art is the art of patching and mimicking
Pity the nation that welcomes its new ruler with trumpeting, and farewells him with hooting, only to welcome another with trumpeting again.
Pity the nation whose sages are dumb with years and whose strongmen are yet in the cradle.
Pity the nation divided into fragments, each fragment deeming itself a nation.
~Kahlil Gibran (Book: The Garden of The Prophet)

silly little Malevolent theory
(just fyi I'm only up to part 33 so no spoilers beyond that thnx)
I was just thinking about the question of whether or not it's cheesy for a character in a piece of media to say the title of that piece of media (hypothetical example: Steve Harrington saying "come on guys, we've been through stranger things"). I'm hyperfixating on Malevolent atm so naturally that's where my brain went, and while it's innocuous enough of a title and the characters saying it would make perfect sense, I realised that only two characters (thus far) have actually said the word "malevolent".
One of them was Frank (or at least a voice claiming to be Frank, more on that in a minute) in Part 18.
He showed up in Arthur's right ear and started contradicting everything John said, yet was never wrong, as John was evidently still struggling with being truthful after spending so long as the eldritch embodiment of lying. But we never really had confirmation that that voice was or was not Frank. Who was the only other character to use the word "malevolent"?
Kayne. In Coda.
Kayne whose voice is closer to Harlan's natural voice than any other character. Kayne who doesn't believe in a fourth wall. Kayne who's clearly supposed to represent the fans. Kayne who literally sat on the sidelines loudly chewing popcorn while John sobbed and tried to save Arthur's life.
So all that to say...what if the voice in Part 18 wasn't Frank at all, but Kayne trying to drive even more of a wedge between John and Arthur because he thought it would be funny? Bearing in mind that Arthur and John don't meet Kayne until Part 20, meaning they'd have no reason to suspect him here.
#garden of eden#god between the post the tags and the alt text I've had to type the word malevolent 11 TIMES#I'll tell ya what it gets harder to spell every time and now it doesn't look like a real word#anyway just a silly goofy theory that will either remain silly and goofy or prove to be horrifyingly prophetic <3#malevolent#malevolent podcast#arthur lester#john doe malevolent#kayne malevolent

The witness is very true!
A Revelation from the Revealer of secrets
Repent the kingdom of the heavens have drawn near.
Prophecy = 42 months, 1,260 days, that is 3 in a half times
----------------‐‐-------------------------------------------
Deuteronomy 13: 1-4
In case a prophet or one who foretells by dreams arises in your midst and gives you a sign or a portent, and the sign or the portent about which he spoke to you comes true while he is saying, ‘Let us walk after other gods,’ gods that you have not known, ‘and let us serve them,’ you must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer, for Jehovah your God is testing you to know whether you love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul. After Jehovah your God you should walk, him you should fear, his commandments you should keep, to his voice you should listen; he is the one you should serve, and to him you should hold fast.
Daniel 8: 23-25
And in the final part of their kingdom, as the transgressors act to a completion, a fierce-looking king who understands ambiguous sayings will stand up. His power will become great, but not through his own power. He will bring ruin in an extraordinary way, and he will be successful and act effectively. He will bring mighty ones to ruin, also the people made up of the holy ones. And by his cunning he will use deception to succeed; and in his heart he will exalt himself; and during a time of security he will bring many to ruin. He will even stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without human hand
Daniel 11:45
And he will plant his royal tents between the grand sea and the holy mountain of Decoration; and he will come all the way to his end, and there will be no helper for him.
Revelation 17:17
For God put it into their hearts to carry out his thought, yes, to carry out their one thought by giving their kingdom to the wild beast, until the words of God will have been accomplished
*********************************************
1 Peter 1:10
Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the undeserved kindness meant for you made a diligent inquiry and a careful search.
Matthew 15: 10,11
With that he called the crowd near and said to them: “Listen and get the sense of it: It is not what enters into a man’s mouth that defiles him, but it is what comes out of his mouth that defiles him.”
Revelation 13:5-7
It was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and it was given authority to act for 42 months. And it opened its mouth in blasphemies against God to blaspheme his name and his dwelling place, even those residing in heaven. It was permitted to wage war with the holy ones and conquer them, and it was given authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation.
The wild beast has opened its mouth and spoken. How do we know because God Word shines light on it.
James 1:19
Know this, my beloved brothers: Everyone must be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger
*********************************************
2 Peter 1:21
For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit.
Isaiah 14: 13,14
You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to the heavens. Above the stars of God I will lift up my throne, And I will sit down on the mountain of meeting, In the remotest parts of the north. I will go up above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself resemble the Most High.’
God said, "Let it be luminaries in the expanse of the heavens." These luminaries will serve as signs for days and years. (Genesis 1:14)
Biblically, they used a lunar calendar, which is based on the cycles of the moon. 🌙 According to the biblical calendar, a year consists of 360 days. 📅
Going off the lunar calendar, 1,260 days is equivalent to 42 months. That's exactly 3 in a half times
Why is this number of months/days important because this is how long the holy city is being trampled on underfoot, 42 months. (Revelation 11:2)
Which is also the same amount of months the wild beast opened his mouth and spoke for. (Revelation 13:5,6). Giving breath/life to the image (Revelation 13:15)
The moon is being mentioned as being beneath the feet of the woman in Rev 12:1.
Therefore, since the nations trampled the holycity underfoot for 42 months. (Revelation 11:2) This refers to the moon. Since the moon is beneath her feet. (Revelation 12:1)
Ironically, walking on the moon was a big milestone, and all the earth followed with admiration (Revelation 13:3). The moon is "underfoot."
Neil Armstrong, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."
When did this image of the moon start to speak?
Opening of the mouth = the launch of the Apollo 11 mission, which aimed to be the first humans on the moon.
Closing of the mouth = the last moon mission Apollo 17. It was the final mission of the Apollo program, and it marked the last time humans been to the moon to this day
July 16, 1969 December 19, 1972
Keep in mind the Lunar Calendar 📅 360 days a year.
A common year has 365 days. So, for most years, if your birthday was on a Friday, the following year, it will walk forward to be on a Saturday. Because of this walk back a day each year
1972 - 1969 = 3 years
December 19 walk back a day each yr = December 16
(Do not count the leap year 02/29/1972)
July 16, 1969 to December 16, 1972
If counted by the days = 1,260 days
If counted by the month = 42 months
If counted by the year = 3 in a half
Green dot = Apollo 11 (first humans on the moon)
Blue dot = Apollo 17 (last time humans been to the moon)
Red dot = leap year (do not count this day since it adds an extra day)
-----------------------------------
Revelation 12:1
...and the moon was beneath her feet...
* 1,260 days
Revelation 12:6
...prepared by God and where they would feed her for 1,260 days
Revelation 11: 3,4
I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days dressed in sackcloth.” These are symbolized by the two olive trees and the two lampstands and are standing before the Lord of the earth

I don’t have the words to describe the last seven years of my life. Looking back all I see is love. I know I’ve met you before, and I’m so happy to meet you again. You’re every poem I have ever read, and have yet to write. Thank you for being the North Star of my life, and for loving me and letting me love you. Here is to seven years, and seven infinite more. @puppysdog
#photos from us as 19 year olds and now#prophet speaks#hey iiii love you so much and you just left for work and I’ve been looking for these photos all day#and I can see through all of them#how fucking much you love me#how beautifully we have grown together#so thanks for making this garden with me#and thanks for always being my favorite flower#I miss you#come home soon#.png

<< ❝ You’re him, aren’t you? ❞ >> handsigned from Link @gloryseized, to Astor in the court au?
@gloryseized
"Him?" Astor's voice echoes as softly as the satin of his robes. His golden eyes catch the torches firelight as he looks over his shoulder, eyeing the blond haired boy up and down. "You would need to be more specific, solider. Whom do you seek, hm?"
#charm of a bastard (astor)#legends never die (roleplay)#A Snake in The Garden (Royal Prophet AU)#((I love the idea that Link approaches Astor first because before that Astor would have no reason to pluck him from the crowd))#((Once he has his name though he'll look into his future and find out everything he needs to know >=) buwahaha))

How's the Cult's attitude towards Dave, since he's a forest demon?
Dave may be under the radar in terms of people knowing he's a monster (aka. no one knows aside from Evelin pretty much) but. the cult does.
They do visit MandelaTECH every once in a while to talk to Dave, but he always kicks them out. Due to him being a forest spirit, they talk about him like he's kinda a god (but. not nearly as much as Mark.) due to his relation to the Willow and the forest itself. Just. the "Guardian" of the wildlife in a way.
#asks are neat#tmc monster au#monster dave#they act this way to every forest spirit. including Six and Gardener#They see them as “prophets”.#Mark and the Willow are the ones they actually “worship” but they hold the others in high regard.

so super wish that i let myself think about not rodneyposting because that shit would be PERFECT for a 'guess which one of these things doesn't happen' poll. oh well!
#like. we've got 300 years of fabricated history to work from#weve got shit such as ''goddess of death goes in time out because she sucks at her job'' to ''the only qualified surgeon in a state is this#genderfluid bastard who works using exclusively a pair of garden shears''#to ''one of the main character unrealizingly did shrooms and thus didn't realize that he had prophetic visions of the world ending''#sad! oh well
