#and is has being so wild

[ueko]

find out that "gender is a construct" and that "you can be named whatever and change it at will" is on the first three chapters of the bible is wild and so awesome!

so Adam is a gender neutral word (?) meaning human and related to ground maybe is something like Adam means -of the ground (?) if that is really it , that is kind of cool.

ok. so... the purpose of ishah was to be a helper. then god straight up duplicated adam (like god did some steam cell cloning or something but he took a chunk of adam to make the helper) and adam started calling themselves ish and ishah ishah to differentiate each other (?) they are only different in name. there is zero mention of how adam , ish and ishah features both physical or otherwise only that ishah is ish's helper whatever that means - ish doesn't have to work or anything like that at this point of the story, so i guess ishah is an asnwer to this "The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” so ishah's help is with ish's potential loneliness but this is god's perception and at no point does adam mentions adam's loneliness or is it ever implied dude is at this point of the story surrounded by animals.

ish changes ishah's name to Eve when as punishment ishah can give painful births, is the implication ishah couldn't before and now that ishah can ish gave a name to reflect that (?) bro lmaaaoaoo change your name whenever fam the biblical god clearly does not care lmaaoo. Ishah is a be a biblical transperson (?) A unwilling one but one never the less. Biblical god is really something. Ish and Ishah were a homesexual married couple according to the bible (?) considering ishah was a dublicate of ish and only "changed" after god punished ishah the transformation was big enough that ish changed ishah's name. ok.

is that it? is that the difference? one can painfully give birth (as a punishment) and the other can't? giving birth is optional and not everyone can do it anyways so beyond ability to give birth. So so far in the bible it seems that gender is a construct that god didn't intend for nor does it seem god engages with -at least so far-, cloning is a thing , marring your clone also a thing biblical god was chill about that and physical alternations by god is also a thing that happened and was super casual about? hahahahaha idk why this is so funny to me all i keep thinking is about the omegaverse.

also the punishments ishah get are all optional and unlike ish's punishments that extent to ishah and do not seem as optional at all. ishah's punishments do not extent to ish , are all options.

1. giving painful birth is optional.

2. desiring ish while not optional acting on is optional.

3. ish ruling over ishah can only happen if ish does it and if ishah engages with it. why would ish want to rule over ishah and in act this punishment? if ish doesn't try to rule over ishah the punishment doesn't come to be. is this a hardship at all? lmaaaoo

ish punishments AND ishah's punishments as well.

hunger ; apparently a punishment. lmao. is the implication there was no hunger before.

thorns and wild weeds that will make working the field harder ; like that is how nature be again not optional.

must work and sweat in order to eat food to manage the hunger ; ok. again i don't see how this can be optional.

finally death "for dust you are and to dust you will return." ; not optional at least not yet.

i guess husband and wife (not gendered) or man and woman (not gendered) makes sense as a label - and for that matter any label what so ever because ishah changes to Eve like just because - when you want to convey that two humans have decided to be each other's "helper" (?) otherwise it seems unnecessary to have separate names at least the way it is convey in the bible. if you don't have a "helper" (hahaha like that's how is its written on the bible, lmaaao) then you are just an adam aka. a human and can also name yourself whatever and whenever. that's kind of neat. there is no (as far as i have read) rules for naming.

is also kind of cute how apparently biblical god does not like shame. hahahahahah like it seems god real displease with ish and ishah being ashamed of their naked form.

biblical god says "unlearn shame" :D oh and also "blind obedience please" that too D:

is so funny to me god didn't trust that they would not try to eat from the tree of eternal life as well so he send scary ass cherubim (cherubim is the plural of cherub btw i didn't know) AND spinning (?) swords on fire to guard it hahahahaahaha

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

A guy who just wake up from a coma -> what did i miss?

Pomefiore was the last plot i follow before real life made me forget about our silly boys. How bad has the plot become now for our gang? Also who is that Gojo looking guy?

anon, I am so sorry and I mean this in the best way, but I do think episode 5 is the absolute funniest place to have stopped following Twst because shit starts escalating SO fast after that. episode 6 literally starts with a secret government shadow agency breaking down our doors and kidnapping students. zero to a million instantly.

and like...that's not even the zaniest thing so far? Ortho's hacked into the collective human unconscious. there's time travel (sort of). "Crowley might be Malleus' long-lost father" is a serious theory. if you'd told me any of this back pre-episode 6, I would have asked for the link to this unbelievable but highly intriguing fanfic.

also, episode 7 gave us (and then immediately took away 😔) the best character in the whole story:

[plesiosaurys]

getting emotional over footage of an amateur scuba diver interacting with a coelacanth. they are hunted by large deepwater predators, and here comes a large creature bearing the brightest lights it's ever seen, making strange noises, but it does not shy away. it hovers, calmly, as the diver reaches out and trails a hand down its back. im strongly against the anthropomorphizing of real life animals but the stupid emotional part of me loudly insists this is because it recognizes us, the alternating movements of its four paired limbs matching the diver's four paired limbs, & it is thinking, "hello, cousins, we missed you these 66 million years, it's so good to see you again. welcome back, welcome home."

etho said actually you _don't_ understand the intricacies of how tango is my boyfriend and bdubs is my ex

(and how tango and bdubs kiss too)

Scar: We went on that little adventure, you know! Etho: Yeah, yeah, we had our adventure, that's true, that's true. Scar: You disparaged your teammates. That's it, all right, no more spoilers. Etho: (laughs) Our team has -- our team has some weird dynamics this -- this season. Cleo: (overlapping) Really, Etho? Is there trouble in paradise? (pause) Who's third-wheeling with you, again? I can't remember. Etho: (laughs) Uhh. The -- Cleo: Genuinely can't remember. I know it's you and Bdubs. And...Tango? Tango. Tango. Etho: (loudly) Why -- Why is Tango the third wheel? Why -- why isn't Bdubs the third wheel? Cleo: Because it's you and Bdubs. I'm sorry. I understand how that relationship goes. Etho: (dissatisfied) Hmm.

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

there is zero basis for this, but I can't get this thought of my head

I don't know why I decided to draw it this way

massive fan of 'watch and learn' Wild. hes eaten a whole bird (feathers and all) because he saw a fox do it. he catches fish like a grizzly bear. he fights like the monsters. he can read most animal body language and almost perfectly mimic wolf howls fox barks deer yips etc. he probably goes uphill on all fours. the first part of his journey was when he had the most to learn and he only had the wilds to learn it from and hylia it means so much to me

Happy 1 year anniversary to A Dark Among the Lights by LuckyLectio on AO3!!!

I wanted to try drawing one of those book covers that would also be printed as posters, like the kind that you'd find at a bookstore. More under the cut ^-^

I know that pretty much everyone who has looked at my art here over the last year has noticed how much I adore this fic. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't read it and is interested should give it a try. Dark is a wonderfully written protagonist (all the characters are delightful, really) and I've loved following him as he experienced the longest most chaotic day of his life :b

I made a little rendering of this fic as a hypothetical paperback, with all the wear and tear associated with how much attention I've given it. Something about how to be loved is to be changed...

...thank you, @luckylectio for all your hard work, for writing and sharing this amazing story <333

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
