the fact that eric kripke isn't even christian really adds something to the way christianity is depicted on supernatural. because its really not about being christian at all, but about living in america, a country dominated by christianity, and having to decide for yourself how to handle that. faith is huge in supernatural, and the mythology of the show is very bible-centric, but notably, christ is never there. even sam, who starts out revering the angels, who once said he prays every night, doesn't actually call himself a christian or imply that he believes in jesus--the show is steeped in christianity and biblical lore and yet neither sam nor dean are christians. in fact, over and over again the church itself is depicted as a haunted house that sam and dean will only ever enter as strangers, as outsiders. priests, preachers, faith healers, chapels, crypts, etc. are all just iconography that create an intense sense of unease that sam and dean respond to instantly. as a jew, its very relatable. an essential part of living in america when you're not christian is that exact sense of unease, of knowing that the culture of your country has ensured that you'll get knocked over by christianity no matter where you go, that you'll see hundreds of people truly believing they're good people while doing awful things in the name of their god, and you have no choice but to confront that. kripke gets it
#i could actually write an essay about this#kripke is jewish and so is sera gamble#and when i rly think about it i think the show is very jewish#in that its a rejection of the christian interpretation of god and free will#its all about questioning what's put in front of you and i think that's a big part being jewish to me#anyway!#rambles#spn#supernatural#spn analysis#spn meta#faith#christianity#theology#kripke era#eric kripke#sam winchester#dean winchester#castiel#zachariah spn#uriel spn#anna milton#american gothic#fav#🔪#containment breach

cannot stop thinking about how, from jean’s pov, neil is a Creature. an insane little man. jean expresses physical attraction or at least physical appreciation towards many of the characters in this book, and despite the foxes’ insistence that neil is good looking, to jean neil is always just… a weird and slightly unsettling presence. a strange and arrogant creature with no leash on him. an uncanny force of nature.

I'm late but here's my 3 big wips:
Fractured Stars Falling: dark queer fairytale retellings
characters including- gladiator cinderella and peacemaker prince, people pleaser snow white and her protective best friend/QPR partner, former mermaid pirate captain and hopeless romantic pirate woman, genre aware lord's son and the sauve flirty froggy prince, shy blonde bookworm boi and the lost princess with fire powers, the overprotective bodyguard and his danger magnet princess, and the chaotic burntout gifted kid wizardess.
They're a family and they have to deal with a vengeful witch corrupted by dark magic and a very pissed off death god.
The City is Ours: a bunch of chaotic teenage superheroes that become siblings and a team and do the most chaotic shit ever. so many redemption and villain arcs and sibling relationships.
characters including: team leader with ice powers who puts way too much pressure on herself, the dad friend who is also very gay, the token straight white girl who is super supportive and she'll hit you with her heel if you hurt her friends, a quiet art kid that's secretly chaotic with speed and invisiblilty powers, the team healer who is very tired and will lecture his friends when they do dumb shit that gets them injured, the shapeshifter and chaos instigator who also falls in love (accidentally) with a villain, the token team jerk that no one likes with fire powers and a superiority complex, and the tired team hacker and gadget builder who can and will mix coffee and soda and not feel any of it.
Galaxy Destroyer (previously Before the Stars Burn Out): a bunch of morally gray space criminals are thrown together for a job, accidentally adopt a baby, and become a family of fugitives.
characters including: 1000% done cyborg bounty hunter, the middle aged very tired uncle and self proclaimed leader that no one listens to, the rejected android turned smuggler with a resting bitch face, the sauve theif who is an asshole with a heart of gold, the crazy mad scientist who is a biology nerd, the quiet pilot who is the only one allowed to hold the group braincell (but xey are dangerously close to losing it), the conman who seems like he can't fight but turns out he's a badass with a sword, and the baby with superpowers that they accidentally adopt.
That... ended up having a runon sentence each with a rundown of the characters but oh well.
Thanks for giving me a chance to ramble @jacquesfindswritingandadvice !

Anna Williams did not run through miles of forest nor face off with an infected with literally only a switchblade and sheer desperation all while fucking IN LABOR, then cut her daughter's umbilical cord with her own hands, clean her up, name her, love her, and hold her for hours even as she knew and felt that she was dying, prepared to stab herself with that same switchblade to save her baby, then beg her lifelong friend to take her girl somewhere safe where she could grow up happy and protected only for Marlene to fuckin sacrifice that girl, that baby she swore to her dying friend to take care of, for a shoddy at best chance to save an already irrevocably shattered world. Both the Williams ladies deserved better than that.
#the last of us#tlou#look ive said it before and ill keep saying it.#marlene is an incredibly written and performed character who is truly fascinating#and i hate her!#anna williams#ellie williams#marlene#does marlene have a last name? im bad at names :/#bea rambles#i just think that anna was up there cheering joel on the whole time

Y’all have no idea how important this is to me.
Rogue is a character who constantly has to hold on. She’s had to hold on to her control and hold herself back for pretty much her entire life. She can’t touch another person, which means she constantly has to hold back, to keep herself in check, to grasp tight to anything that makes her even a little bit “human” less she be deemed nothing but a monster. This episode is all about Rogue letting go. Letting go of her control, letting go of her morals, letting go — or failing to let go — of Remy… she finally cuts loose, and we see how powerful she is. We see how cut-throat she can be. We see how much she feels, how much she fears, how much she grieves. But this… this moment? When she finally feels the grief through the rage? We see her drop her final defenses, and when she lets go she falls. She completely falls into this embrace and she presses into it. Rogue has spent her entire life holding back from touch, so to sink so fully into a hug like this shows just how far gone she is. This isn’t a quick hug where she’s making sure to keep a layer of clothing between skin contact. This is a full-body embrace with no care for anything but contact and comfort, two things that have been denied Rogue for so long.
This episode tore Rogue down to the deepest parts of herself and forced her to let go, and when she did Kurt and the other X-Men were there to catch her.
also it just makes me really happy to actually see Kurt and Rogue’s relationship acknowledged on screen, they are one of my favorite pairs of siblings in media and seeing them like this is extremely important to me.

Look, Ian, Mickey, and Mandy go to a Sox game when she visits and the kiss cam shows Mandy and Ian and then?
anna hi! omg i love this heehee!
cue the battle of three completely different facial expressions!
ian: wide toothy smile, crinkly eyes, rosy cheeked! completely tickled by the concept of being on camera with his best friend! a silly guy! my god, what a memory for them, something to laugh at for years to come. "remember when we were on the kiss cam? how fun was that?!"
mandy: the most mischievous smirk you could ever imagine! the side eye of the century. oh ho boy, that girl is gloating. everyone around her is surprised she hasn't broken out into an evil laugh yet. that's all that's missing as her hand comes up to rest on ian's shoulder. time to mess with her shithead of a brother! time to shine!
mickey: if "OH. FUCK. NO." had a face, it would be this one. eyebrows absolutely fighting for their life. they shoot straight up, they come crashing down. gasps echo all around them as The Scowl comes out. pure and utter disgust on his face. a pause. hands flailing accompanied by an "AAAYYY!!!"
the jumbotron shows a girl, a goofy guy, and an arm. shooting out from the right and yanking the guy sideways. the cameraperson gets with it, pans to where the arm has claimed their guy. and there. fully engrossed in the hottest kiss that ballpark has ever seen, are ian and mickey. holding faces, backwards caps, smiling and proud.
#i'm giggling i'm twirling my hair i'm kicking my feet!#thank you for sending this anna!!!#j ramble drabbles#gallavich#ian x mickey#rereadanon#asks

(I don’t talk about this often but…) Listen. I was born and raised in a cult- albeit a nicer cult, but it’s still pretty shitty and will hurt you, especially if you don’t fit the demographic* it caters to.
*straight white men, pedophiles, bigots, and the like.
I won’t name the cult because I know there are people who support it that will come for me saying I’m a liar doing it for attention and that I serve the devil and all that bs, and I can’t deal with that right now. But I will say:
Everything that has been said above is 100% true.
In fact, the thinking that if you like fiction with something bad in it means you are a bad person as a result is EXACTLY HOW THEY BRAINWASH AND CONTROL ITS MEMBERS. That is exactly how they control our thinking- through the media we consume. And it’s not just TV or books, it’s music, magazines, games, podcasts, EVERYTHING.
In the cult, all the media you consumed had to be pure and good, or else “Satan has control over you and corrupt your mind and you’ll start sinning and-“ they teach you from the moment you can understand words that in a world “filled with sun and corruption, you have to consume only pure and good media so Satan and the adversary don’t have power over you.”
It’s not just cult like thinking. It’s an actual tactic that cult leaders use to control their members. Get out of that thought process.
I'm starting to find evidence on twitter of antis encouraging each other to shun friends and family for not being one of them and I am deeply concerned. This is some cult shit.
"should I shun my friend for being proship even though they're my only irl friend?"
"Should I shun my mother for being proship?"
The answer to both of these is GET HELP. You are being brainwashed into thinking that your friends and family are dangerous when you know that they wouldn't hurt anyone. See a therapist, take some time off the internet, reevaluate your situation. Fiction does not take precedence over your loved ones.
I'm tagging this with "antis please interact" because I think they need to see this too, and hopefully it helps someone. Your loved ones are not dangerous because of their taste in fiction.

*Slams fist on the table*
I want rogue and gambit to have a Big Damn Kiss™ with 360 degrees shot, explosions in the background, perfect animation and killer 90's music that is perfectly sync with lips movements
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
It has to be so emotionally charged that people's hearts will melt and so mindblowing that it will obliviate that dance scene from existence
ヘ(。□°)ヘ
#my brain is rotting#i am desperate for season 2 news and for gambit confirmation#we are hungry give us somethin#gambit#x men 97#remy lebeau#rogue#romy#anna marie lebeau#xmen 97#its 1 am i need the sleep#ramblings

Vox Machina rambling part 3.
(Yes because this series has taken over my life and I'm starting my own rambling posts that will last until season 4 is over (because we are totally getting, at least, 4 seasons of TloVM))
Can we talk about the fact the Matron is sooo fucking pissed right now?! 🤣
Like, here she was looking at Percy fighting for his life because that is what gives life meaning, to fight until you last breath but hoping to see your love ones again, making every death more meaningful.
Then Percy falls and she is ready to claim him like "Oh my poor broken child, you did your very best and your death was so beautiful, here, let me take you with your family now-"
The Orthax comes by and swoops Percy's soul, like, "Psyche, I'll be taking this, BYEEEE!"
And the Matron is just...
Like, she's so pissed that she went to see Vax after he finally scored with Kiki. Here is my interpretation of the Matron in that scene 🤣
Matron: listen here my champion, this little crow bitch demon had the audacity-stop screaming my champion-to take a soul from ME, the goddess of death, and now plans to steal many more souls with-seriously Vax, stop screaming-with that contraption your brother-in-law created. I have a new mission for you that involves this bitch crow but we'll talk later, I'll leave you to rest with your ashari girlfriend now...
Ripley's plan to feed souls to Orthax through her guns will create such spiritual disbalance that the Matron can't not get involved in some way.
I love how this gives such Princess Mononoke vibes, a ambicious and brillant woman that wants to bring progress into the world and give people independance but being completely blind/not caring about how this disbalance can negatively affect nature and spirits.
(and before anybody says anything, I'm NOT excusing Ripley, I can't wait to see her die and go to hell, I'm just saying that Ripley excuses herself of all her horrible actions by saying that is all for progress and self defence of the weaker)

thinking about how Kim Dokja and Anna Croft are nearly perfect narrative foils. The Prophet and the Reader, she who sees the events to come and he who knows of all that has happened, Humanity's Hero and the Demon King of Salvation, the Opponent of all the Stars and the Most Ancient Dream.
For as long as Yoo Jonghyuk had been a regressor, Anna Croft was the only person who had been by his side through everything because she was the only one who could remember. Although Kim Dokja would never admit it, she was to Yoo Jonghyuk what Kim Dokja wished to become, to take the place of and steer him towards a better path, one that Anna could never prophecise.
Anna found reprieve in forgetting Yoo Jonghyuk but it was Kim Dokja's worst nightmare.
Anna Croft would sacrifice anything and anyone she has ever loved if it meant that she could save the world because she's a gambler and she knows how to calculate the risks. She sees value in numbers and abundance.
Kim Dokja still saved the world, but if it came down to it, he would sacrifice the world to save his loved ones because, to him, they are his world.
also sorry kdj but yjh and anna were the og toxic doomed yuri

so, watched ep 1 of the atla live action and uhm, imagine not wanting one of your main characters to depict sexism because you believe it doesn’t read well in Current Times, so instead you double down on the character’s obsession towards leadership in order to give him that extra edge. but in order to make that work u have to make his sister quietly obedient instead of an outspoken leading presence that has the potential to overshadow him. because silencing a female character in order to write out a male character’s story arc of unlearning sexism is obviously a better and less sexist outcome.
#also the show made kyoshi say the opening of the show instead of katara cos apparently they’re obsessed with robbing katara of her voice#she’s literally just an entire different character and i cannot think of why except to make sokka look like a more prominent leader#which also goes entirely against sokka’s character trait of consistently feeling powerless#i don’t normally vent post about stuff like this but i’m just so baffled by this#atla#anna rambles#avatar the last airbender

hey guys
whatever you do, DON’T think about how norah’s character designs include her wearing buskins and having a lyre with several masks and leaves on it, which can be attributed to the melpomene, the muse of tragedy
DON’T think about it :’)
#leos ramble#dislyte#dislyte norah#im cry#this is what a couple of google searches does to a man#also anna and norah inspiring each other in their respective arts???#im double cry#i can only think about them and them only now#the roses can be connected to erato the muse of lyric and love/erotic poetry#in loving it (is crying)
