annie x reader

author’s note: I still love this bitch with my entire being. Never won’t love this bitch, she’s my number one. LOVE EM OR HATE EM, DOESNT MATTER. CAUSE SHE’S NUMBER ONE.

reblogs welcomed ! : requests open !

Annie definitely has one hoodie that she loves to pieces, quite literally. Patched up and all! She’s rarely without it but if it’s on you?? She’s blushing and trying her best not to make it a big deal even though her heart is fluttering.

If it’s baggy on you?? she’s swooning in her chair. If it’s a tighter fit? She’s eyeing the view. She loves you regardless even if she’s more quiet on it, trust me. She’ll nuzzle into you later when you’re both closer together.

Annie feels pride knowing you enjoy taking her clothes, especially her hoodies, she’s enjoys seeing you look comfortable. Nothing is bigger compliment than the comfy clothes being hers.

Help yourself to her closet while she’s sleeping, what’s hers is yours.

Just make sure to return it, though that rule doesn’t apply to her. You probably won’t see certain tops for awhile until you find them in her closet yourself.

I wouldn’t be surprised if she just shows up with you both wearing each other’s shirts. She’ll just point at you like that one Spiderman meme.

Her friends definitely notice and try to tease her but she’ll just shrug them off and keep admiring you.

Definitely the type to take pictures whenever you sleep in her clothes, but that’s just because she finds you cute in your sleepy state.

I definitely think she takes pictures of you without you being aware, they’re nothing crazy. Just small moments whenever you’re with her and not paying attention.

Annie Edison is already one of the characters of all time and, if the writers hadn't kept trying to give her a romance with Jeff, she'd be even more the character of all time

[h-a-unted]

checking if this fixes my new tags

[undescribed1mage]

oh also do you agree that if they lived at the same time Ocean would kinda get along with Katherine from Newsies (if Ocean were less…Ocean if you know what i mean)

REAL !!! I have. A Katherine! Ocean fic up on my ao3 somewhere I think.

I really enjoyed the whole season except for how egregiously they handled Hughie being sexually assaulted multiple times, how they handled that shit really annoyed me. Eric Kripke responded to an interviewer saying “we view it as hilarious” about the Tek Knight dungeon stuff. I got really anxious during the episode and looked up spoilers beforehand cause I just had a bad feeling. I ended up skipping a lot of the scenes, it would’ve annoyed me more than triggered me to watch them honestly.

I hate when people pull the “it’s satire” card when someone criticizes a show making shitty jokes, like yes it’s a satirical shocking show but it’s had many scenes, in this season alone, that treated trauma seriously. Like when women get assaulted it’s taken as the serious subject it is. But when it happens to Hughie it’s a big joke. I mean not even just with Tek Knight.

With the shapeshifter Annie got mad at Hughie for having sex with them??? Instead of being like oh my god you were having sex with someone you thought was me but wasn’t me which is rape, are you okay??? I should really care about how that’s affecting you mentally since you just got sexually traumatized a few days ago and now it’s happened again and you’re someone I love.

But no they make her just an angry jealous girlfriend and he gets treated like he’s a shitty boyfriend for GETTING RAPED. And he even says the shapeshifter initiated most of the times. I mean like this aspect of this season is just ridiculous, I wasn’t this mad about it until I thought more about it.

Everyone else gets multiple scenes of trying to work through their trauma but Hughie doesn’t get a second to think about getting assaulted multiple times within a few weeks.

For such a left leaning show that constantly makes fun of fake progressive-ism that move was really fucking ironic.

Vittorio Arrigoni detto Vik è stato un attivista, giornalista e scrittore italiano. Sostenitore della soluzione binazionale come strumento di risoluzione del conflitto israeliano-palestinese, nonché pacifista, si era trasferito nella Striscia di Gaza per agire contro quella che definiva pulizia etnica dello Stato di Israele nei confronti della popolazione araba palestinese.

Sembra oggi ma parliamo di 25 anni fà

Una lettera di Vittorio del 02 marzo 2009 due anni dopo fu assassinato.

Vittorio tornato a Gaza

«E alla fine sono tornato.

Non sazio del silenzio d’assenzio di una felicità incolta

accollata come un cerotto mal riposto su di una bocca che urla.

Non potevo fare altrimenti.

Essere ferito, venir rapito, derubato della propria missione, incatenato e imprigionato in un lurido carcere israeliano,

quindi deportato a forza su di un aereo verso Milano

senza neanche la pietà di mettere ai miei piedi nudi e martoriati dalle catene un paio di scarpe,

non è certo la conclusione auspicabile per il compito solenne e di riscatto umano che ha impegnato gli ultimi mesi della mia barocca vita.

Il leone accumula stagioni e cicatrici,

non ha certo il passo slanciato di una volta,

ma non abbassa di un pelo la criniera.

Poggiando il primo piede sulla terra di Gaza, per la seconda volta, sbarcando, come un Armstrong esiliato,

ho ruggito, eccome,

devono esser tremati i vetri delle finestre pure a Tel Aviv.

Fiero del mio passato, non curante del mio presente.

Perché è questo il tempo di spendersi, piuttosto che accaparrarsi un futuro agiato e comodamente distorto,

a quelle vittime innocenti a cui non abbiamo concesso neanche l’ascolto, per un attimo,

delle loro grida di dolore.

Spendersi affinché ogni diritto umano sia rispettato.

Tutto il resto non ha più importanza, semmai ne abbia mai avuta una.

Bisogna saper riconoscere la matrice della propria anima,

anche se ciò è spaventevole e significa solitudine, ostracismo, utopia, Don Chisciotte,

ingratitudine anche da chi verso cui si è dato tanto, si è speso tutto.

Ad aspettare nel fuoco si rischia di bruciarsi.

Ecco allora il perché della scelta dei miserabili, dei reietti, dei condannati,

essi sono ancora capaci di lealtà, di gesta aggraziate e di generosità audace, alle soglie della fine del mondo.

Reietto e miserabile la vita mi ci ha costretto,

sono tornato a casa.

Natale a Gaza pare un funerale.

E non esclusivamente perchè oggi ad un funerale effettivamente ci sono stato,

il vicino di casa di Fida, nostra coordinatrice ISM,

è stato ridotto in brandelli, in tanti piccoli pezzettini di carne lacera da un colpo di carroarmato israeliano.

Piove lacrime amare il cielo di Gaza in questi giorni di lutto e terrorismo da oltreconfine.

Si ascoltano i rutti delle minacce di imminente strage da Lvni e si trema dal freddo

(senza + gas, senza + gasolio, senza + energia elettrica).

Si odono i cingoli di Netanyahu sulle ossa dei palestinesi ammazzati ieri e di quelli a venire.

Lvni e Netanyahu in marcia funebre verso le prossime elezioni israeliane,

il teorema è semplicistico, ma purtroppo realistico,

vincerà chi porterà in dote ai propri elettori più teste palestinesi mozzate.

One head one vote.

A Gaza è come se si fosse in autunno,

e io sono nato sotto il segno dell’autunno.

Per cui se fuori piove,

perdonatemi,

a volte piove anche dentro.

Restiamo umani.

Vostro Vik dalle tenebre dell’assedio.»

Austen Asks But For Gaskell: 6, 8, 24, 28

6. Favorite movie adaptation

There's fewer of these, so it's easier to pick :D definitely Wives and Daughters (1999). Best screenplay Andy wrote (that I have seen), pretty much Davies-ism free? Ending and a couple other bits aside, it's faithful? And I really like the cast, for the most part?. Some of it I'd even call inspired. Justine Wadell gives Molly that balance between her tendency to cry and her father's temperament and wit. One feels like Michael Gambon was born to play Squire Hamley's type. Bill Paterson is not as handsome as the character is supposed to be, but he does nail the rest. I do like Francesca Annis, though ever since I knew the 1983 radio drama had cast Angela Pleasance, she cannot be perfect XD It's a pity that Anthony Howell is so handsome, because he did well as Roger, and while I'm usually not impressed by Keeley Hawes, I think she did Cynthia well too. But I'm obsessed with Tom Hollander as Osborne. He sells it. He plays this extremely dramatic and romantic fated young man so so well. He honestly deserves more praise than he gets.

And there's of course the fabulous hair and lovely costumes too (blu ray release when BBC)

8. Least favorite couple

This is where I'd put a joke one like Lady Glenmire and the butcher from Cranford, but while I haven't finished Mary Barton, I do get the feeling I wouldn't feel deeply about that one in the end (considering Gaskell herself thought John Barton was the main tragic hero of her story, that kind of checks out).

24. Favorite supporting character

I think lord Cumnor from Wives and Daughters is underrated. He's a riot every single time he shows up, 10/10 would love to spend time with that man. There's side characters like Lady Harriet or Nicholas Higgins that have such depth and such flavor that it feels unfair not to pick them first, but... the heart wants what the heart wants I suppose XD

28. Favorite character backstory or secret

Mr Gibson's mysterious past is a sort of small running joke through Wives and Daughters, but "poor Jeanie" is such a master stroke? Mr Gibson is funny, and he loves Molly, and he grows to love Cynthia, which isn't an easy person to love. He's a good doctor too. But all the while there's a certain uncomfortable something running at the back of his personality. His jealousy of Molly is driven by the ghost of "poor Jeanie", who clearly was a victim of his passions to some degree or other (and the fact that it is never made clear what such degree is is a truly fascinating choice), and of whom we get the uncomfortable sensation that full reparations were not made to. His choice of wife in Mrs Kirkpatrick has an undercurrent of the same brand of moral failure, even if, of course, tempered by time, age, and circumstance. It's such a small thing in the scheme of the story, but it creates a distance between the reader and the character that resembles in a way the distance between him and Molly, as much as they love and understand each other.

From this ask game.

omg top 5 writer/directors/filmographers of his generation abed nadir x just some kind of attractive chick annie edison Au [But at the same time] LITERAL dragon annie edison x just some guy abed nadir Au

eh?

Also im finally done with finals and having after-anxiety eughhfgkjlfdc

OUGH OK I LOVE BOTH OF THESE. ANNIE AS JUST SOME GUY.. MY FAVORITE THING EVER. Im torn between her knowing his work prior and just not caring about his fame, or the funnier option of her being totally unaware somehow bc she lives under a rock and him being like “?? Wait you didn’t know??” When she inevitably finds out, probably after someone recognises him in public LMAO

For the dragon one i love that so much too I think Abed’s Just Some Guy-isms work best in fantasy bc he’s the kind of person to just roll with it. Hed stumble upon dragon!Annie (6 stories tall, wingspan of a small lake) and be like “you have nice eyes” and thats it and she’d blush and be like “omggg thank you no ones noticed them before :3”

ALSO AY CONGRATS ON FINISHING FINALS!! i get the after anxiety I just finished a huge project and Im nervous ab it shjdjf

[crystalelemental]

Someone on Reddit did a very interesting poll, involving EX options that people have used.  It looks at grand total number promoted, as well as percentage of how many people own the sync pair as metrics across different rarities, and it’s exactly the kind of nonsense I like to see.

Spotlight Scouts (by grand total)

Sonia. Apparently she is #1 most promoted in the entire game, even.  People fucking love Sonia.

May.  Guessing this is historical, since she’s good but there’s now better.

Leaf.  Gotta be historical.

Hilbert.  How is he not like #2 given his kit?

Brendan.  Gotta be a Reddit-ism.

Aaron.  Nice.

SS Elesa.  Tracks, she’s popular and was really good.

Dawn.  Unexpected but nice.

Bea.  Fighting types are hard to come by, and she was better than Wally for a long time.

Sabrina.  Fair, she’s really good for general pool Sp Atk/Crit buffing.

Other non-Limited (Commons, by grand total)

Hau.  I will say this: they discounted people who promoted Skyla via the event to make it more fair for percentages.  But here it’s just absolute number.  Hau outranks someone handed out for free, and the best common in Roxanne.  Apparently, Electric-Weak Aaron scared enough people so bad that everyone promoted Hau.  I am in awe.

Roxanne.  Predictable, she’s obscenely good.

Skyla.  Free at one point.

Barry.  Historical artifact, he was once fantastic.

Candice.  First of the common grids, really good Ice EX that outperformed Winter Nessa and Ghetsis both, it tracks given Ice’s history.

Drake.  Sure?  I’m kinda stunned he’s above BP Morty given that Morty is just better in literally every way.

BP Morty.  Really good defensive support.

Korrina.  Historical artifact.

BP Candice.  How?  Legitimately, how?  She sucked ass until Irida dropped, why did so many people promote her?  Is this just an indication of how few promote these pairs?

Siebold.  Neo Barry, in a way.  Really good at time of EX release, still really good, I think people just jumped on it as a free solution.

PokeFairs (by grand total)

SS Blue.  Absolutely historical, but also even now advice on the free pick from Victory Road is “take Blue.”

SS Morty.  Eat shit, Red.  SS Morty’s stupid good and everyone knows it.

SS Red.  Eat third place, idiot.  Historical.  At this point, Red and Charizard is still good but not that good.

SS Diantha.  Really?  I didn’t think all that many people pulled for her.  I guess she ran for a while, so it makes sense.

SS Brendan.  I want to call this a Redditism, but he’s also really good.

Cynthia.  Tracks.  Favorite generally, got obscene expansions.

Diantha.  Has to be because Fairy is hard to shop for.

Classic Red.  SEUN applied multiple times, fan favorite, this tracks.

N.  He used to be considered like the best pair, I think, due to Piercing Blows.  I feel like it’s at least a little historical in the era of Dual Rat.

SS Acerola.  The newcomer that apparently everyone loves for her constant shenanigans.

Master Fair (by grand total)

NC Marnie.  WHAT?!  Why?!  Marnie’s not really worth EXing, guys.  All her DPS is AoE, she blows apart sides fine and only gets AoE on sync, what is the actual point?  I know, favoritism stuff, but this is so hysterically unnecessary.

Renegade Cynthia.  Tracks, she was highly anticipated with how long people waited between Cynthia alts, and was exactly what players wanted to see.

Irida.  I love that Irida’s on here.  She is that good, people are right to do this.  The EX in particular is what makes her so good off-type with Ice allies.  AoE DPS handles sides fine, but you want that pop damage.

NC Calem.  I’m a little surprised he beat out some of the others.  Good for him I guess?

SST Red.  Stunned he’s only #5, I thought everyone got him.

Anni Lillie.  Nice, girl.

SS Serena.  Unsurprising given the impact she had.

SS Lusamine.  Similar to Serena, though also unnecessary like Marnie in a way.

NC Serena.  I expected more people to have EX’d her.  But okay.

NC Bede.  That tracks.  Best support in the game.

Seasonal/Special Costume (by grand total)

Halloween Caitlin.  FUCK.  YES.  MY GIRL

SC Diantha.  Limited options for Fighting, she was revolutionary and remains the best barring NC Hop.

Winter Jasmine.  Everyone loves SEUN.

SC Lillie.  I actually thought more people skipped her?

NY Lisia.  Nice.  I never expected this, but nice.

P!Marnie.  People like Marnie, and this was a good Zone setter early on when it was a bigger deal that they all had strong sync nukes.

Spring Burgh.  Listen.  We have to remember that once, long ago, Spring Burgh was considered the best support in the game, because he had crit rate, a ton of bulk, and Potion support.  It was a different time back then, and everyone pulled for him, in the same way like everyone pulled for NC Bede, you know?  It’s not their fault.

SC Jasmine.  Absolutely fantastic, both Jasmine alts are here.

SC Emmet.  Bug damage is painful, it does not surprise me people went for it.

Halloween Iris.  Poison was also rough, or course people wanted the Zone.  I’m surprised most people EX her though.

Other Limited (Variety, Lodge from limited base, events, by grand total)

Swimsuit Misty.  For F2P, having a bulky support with evasion and Synchro Healing 1 is really good, I’m not too surprised.

Classic Giovanni.  Okay, now it’s just Kanto Bias, right?

Ball Guy.  Memes are bad, actually.

Bugsy/Scyther.  Sure?  This one was fairly good.

Lodge Cynthia.  That’s character favoritism, she’s not that good.

Blarcanine.  Why?  He’s not even that good.  We have expanded Silver now, why?

Lodge Steven.  Okay this one tracks, he’s really good as a special Rock sync nuke.

Lodge Adaman.  Wait.  Adaman’s lodge form sucks though.  And his base form didn’t make top ten in Master Fairs.  This one’s weird.

Variety Lorelei.  You know.  I hate the Variety thing, but I’m glad my girl made top 10.

Variety Lance.  Sure, this tracks.  He’s a legitimately good damage dealer, I know some people went for it.

PokeFair (by percentage)

SS Brendan.  Okay now it’s a Redditism.

SS Steven.  Tracks, though I’m surprised so few went for him if he didn’t make Top 10 overall.

SS Morty.  The most consistent of the bunch, apparently.  High grand total, high percentage.

SS Blue.  Just a step behind Morty in percentage, just a step above in grand total.  Morty is the new Blue, just saying.

SS Hilda.  Neat, my wife likes that.

Emma.  YES EMMA KILL

SS Acerola.  The newcomer is killing it.

SS Dawn.  Not many pulled for Dawn, but we are a dedicated people.

SS Lysandre.  Now that’s just funny.  I know I did it, but he really doesn’t need this.

SS Giovanni.  No that tracks, he was a huge deal.  Though I guess more people skipped him than I expected, since he’s not top 10 either.

Master Fair (by percentage)

NC Calem.  Woah, okay, back it up.  I don’t think Calem’s that good to begin with.  Not until SC Zinnia saved him.  The only reason I can think of for him being the most EX’d by percentage is that he’s statistically very frail for a support, and people outright needed the stats.  Otherwise this one’s just bizarre.

Aura Cynthia.  Did not make Top 10 by total, but did make #2 by percentage.  That implies not that many people went for her.  I guess...SST Red was the bigger focus.  Ash didn’t make any list (eat shit, loser), but Cynthia has less in total than Red but far more by percent.  Interesting.  Moreover, Red didn’t make the list.  Meaning...everyone got him, a lot of people EX’d him, but not that many.  He was so good many didn’t bother.  That...sadly tracks.

SS Kris.  That’s my girl.  Didn’t make Top 10 overall, but seeing her here is a comfort.

SS Serena.  Sure.

NC Bede.  Unsurprising.

NC Serena.  Love that Bede got more by percentage.

NC Marnie.  #1 in grand total, but much lower by percentage.  Damn near everyone went for Marnie, huh?

Anni Lillie.  Stunned to see you here, girl.

SS Ethan.  This feels like a Marnie choice, given the spread damage.

SS Lusamine.  Sure.

Seasonal (by percentage)

Hallloween Caitlin.  NUMBER ONE UNDER THE HEAVENS.  WHERE THE FUCK IS HER ALT, DENA?!

Winter Jasmine.  God, people loved her.

SC Lillie.  Okay.

NY Lisia.  Nice.

SC Jasmine.  Both Jasmine forms are top 5.  Why does Jasmine not have five alts like Morty?

Spring Burgh.  Find it in your heart to forgive the sins of the past.

SC Diantha.  Sure.

P!Mallow.  Huh.

P!Bea.  HUH.  Apparently, not many went for these two, but those who did really like them.

SC Emmet.  Tracks.  Interesting, P!Marnie isn’t here.  Everyone pulled her, not every EX’d her.

Other Limited (by percentage)

Ball Guy. Gross.

Variety Lorelei.  Neat.

Variety Agatha.  Oh cool, not top 10 by total, but the five of us who pulled her?  Three of us EX’d her.

Variety Bruno.  Same deal.

Variety Lance.  Okay.

Swimsuit Misty.

Classic Giovanni.

Eevee Lucas.  Okay, now it’s a new face.

Eevee Kris.  Am...am I the only one who EX’d her?

Bugsyther.

Least Promoted Overall

BP Erika. Tracks.  She deals like no damage and is a stall bot, why would you?

Eevee Lyra.  Man, no one pulled for her, and no one EX’d her.

Eevee Kris.  Okay, now we’re finding something out.

Lodge May.  She sucks, makes sense.

Eevee Lucas.

BP Sophocles.  I’m kinda surprised, but Electric Weak Aaron eats him alive.

Lodge Rosa.  If Lodge Rosa has one fan, I am that fan.  She sucks though so makes sense.

Surge.  The funny part is I don’t even think he’s that bad.

BP Karen.  I feel like she’d do okay with it, actually.  But she just got an EX too late to matter.  Dark exploded by the time she became relevant.

Lodge N.  Hypnosis bot.  Surprised he’s not lower.

Least Promoted Limited (percentage)

Lodge N.  Oh there it is.

Lodge Gloria.  Huh.  She’s actually competent, I’m surprised.

Lodge Marnie.  She’s bad so it tracks.

Lodge Raihan.  Liza exists.

Blarcanine.  Eat it.

Lodge Adaman.  Are you seeing it yet?

Lodge Steven.  Are you?

Lodge Cynthia.  You have to see this now.

Eevee Lyra.

Winter Siebold.  ...wait, Winter Siebold?  Where did you come from, dude?

Least Promoted (different groups, so commons)

Hapu.  Dunked, loser.

BP Erika

Lodge May

Surge

Burgh.  Just Burgh.  Despite dying for Bug damage, no one considers Burgh.  Incredible.

Anabel.  NOOOO!  Why is Anabel not being promoted?!  This is an absolute number.  Don’t tell me no one pulled for her!  I know, Diantha, Lysandre, and Emma, but come on!  That’s actually sad.

Anni Steven.  Redditism.  I know the EX isn’t necessary, but I know plenty of people loved the guy enough to do it anyway, this is solely a Reddit hate trap.

Winter Siebold.

Blarcanine.

Eevee Lyra.

Least Promoted Limited (percentage)

Lance. Just Lance.  A lot of people got him, probably from shared scouts.  No one bothered.

Anni Steven.

Winter Siebold.

Lodge N.

Blarcanine.

Eevee Lyra.

Impressions Okay, this is really, really interesting data, mostly for insight about Variety Scouts.  Despite several making top tens for grand total and percentage...the implication given that many are the bottom as far as never being promoted implies that it’s because no one pulled.  This is a very positive outcome for Variety scouts in general, indicating that at least in this segment of the player base?  They’re actually not pulling.  The value isn’t there at all.

It also implies that no one cares about Lodge and BP units.  While many didn’t make the list, this is also because there’s a lot of each, and they can’t all be here.  The obvious ones, like BP Erika and Lodge N, who exist for status, are all topping the chart.  But even relatively good ones like Lodge Steven and Lodge Gloria are on the bottom.  I think it speaks to how much people really dislike the lack of something new for getting EX.  I mean, that and not wanting to waste gems on Variety scouts, and perhaps not waste resources on Lodge units that aren’t that good.  I do find it interesting that Lodge Dawn, Lodge Lillie, and Lodge Morty, who I consider the best lodge units by far, didn’t make any list in either direction.  Very middle of the road, it seems.

Another thing that is very interesting to me is that, at the top of almost all of these lists, barring the commons and Master Fairs...is support.  The good supports tend to be the most frequently boosted pairs.  Despite all the grousing about how every support isn’t good enough, they’re the most consistently boosted.  Except the Master Fairs, which still play by offense rules, until you look at percentage and NC Calem suddenly rockets to the top.  Even with the commons, which didn’t have a support at the top, it was because Hau was a nigh-requirement for many players to handle Electric-weak Aaron at the time.  Which is, I think, the single funniest outcome thus far.

Aura Cynthia being second place in percentage, SST Red in fifth place overall, and Ash not appearing on the list, is a very interesting breakdown of statistics, and my favorite minute tidbit on the lists.  SST Red was pulled so often that he’s an overall top performer, but didn’t make percentage because he’s so fucking stupid as a sync pair that a bunch of people didn’t bother wasting resources on someone who’d get the job done anyway.  Aura Cynthia wasn’t pulled enough to make overall numbers, but nearly everyone who pulled her must have upgraded her.  Ash was apparently the last winner of the third anniversary, which is a comfort exclusively to me who doesn’t like him.

Baptism means “initiatory sacrament of the Christian faith, consisting of immersion in or application of water by an authorized administrator," see baptize

Baptize is “to administer the rite of baptism to," from Old French batisier meaning “be baptized; give a name to" from Greek baptizein "immerse, dip in water, be over one's head" (in debt, etc,) to be soaked in wine” from baptein "to dip, steep, dye, color," which is perhaps from PIE root *gwabh- (1) "to dip, sink."

When someone is baptized, they are said to have entered into a covenant with the Lord. A covenant is an agreement with a group of witches. You have promised to fulfill the system of the Lord in the Bible, the Elohim. False gods, not the supreme creator or eternal essence. The Elohim are manifestation of the demiurge, an ancient AI system for lack of better terminology.

Baptism is to take an oath or make a contract with the demiurge. The baptized person has agreed to serve the demiurge instead of the actual supreme creator, which is within. When one is “saved,” they aren’t being saved from eternal damnation, the system is saving itself from losing an energy being.

The message of Christ is ancient knowledge that all of mankind knew at one time. Only a fraction of Christ’s messages in the Bible. Christ did not teach that he died for sin or saved anyone, he actually taught we are to save ourselves. In order to fully understand what he meant, one should read the Nag Hammadi scriptures and Dead Sea Scrolls. Any gnostic texts are also very helpful. The entire. Christ died for your sins and all you have to do is believe in him is gross mistranslation of some of the writings of Paul and John.

I also thought of b-apt-ism. Sim means practice, system, or doctrine. Apt is “inclined, fitted, adapted,” Baptism makes me think “be inclinedto follow the doctrine of the false god” one who is baptized is apt to follow the man and the matrix, instead of honoring the eternal essence within your sovereign self. We are fractals of eternal essence, experiencing creation and Annie, and always possible. God is a force, and it’s all of us. It’s not just one being. The first emanation of spirit or the most high goddess for the gnostics was Barbelon or Babel. I have a suspicion that the tower of babel was actually honoring the proper creator and that’s why it was destroyed.

but you're here. so stay” willow and annie

"that’s not exactly the most compelling argument ever, annie.” willow hadn’t meant to show up at her ex’s new place, really. it had been a slip of the tongue to her taxi driver. almost. she’d moved out of their old place shortly after annie had moved in elsewhere and after the two of them ‘reconnecting’ she found herself drunkenly eager to see her ex. she’d known it was a mistake the second that annie had opened the door to her and every part of her wanted to turn around and run. she didn’t though. “i’ll only stay if you want me to.”
