I (bravely) challenged myself and translated Pétrus Borel's Obelisk of Luxor manifesto.

disclaimer: this text is above my grasp of the social context Borel is critiquing, so I'm sure there are things that went over my head and therefore not accurately translated. (the parts I didn't get are marked so, reader beware) Also, although the core of the first part of the manifesto is anti imperial and anti colonialist, that doesn't mean Borel doesn't indulge in some orientalist tropes. There is also some classism thrown in into the mix. Nevertheless, I think it's definitely worth reading, for that first part, and as an angry plea to value the then neglected Gothic architecture, so here it goes:

french original text here

THE LUXOR OBELISK, 1836, Pétrus Borel.

Was it not enough to destroy or allow the destruction in Paris as in all of France, of the monuments bequeathed by our ancestors? Was it not enough to permit the demolition of Saint-Côme and Saint-Damien church and the chapel of the collége de Cluny? Was it not enough to permit the establishment of a bad place(*1) at Saint-Benoît, to have promised to the hammer the collége de Moutaigu, to have sighed after the demolition of the Vincennes Sainte-Chapelle, to have made little gardens (jardinets) and canals of the majestic composition of Le Nôtre, and have the Tuilleries patched up? Was it not then enough, having shamefully let loose Bagatelle, and to make of the château de Saint-Germain, in the name of reigning Liberty, a dungeon? Was it not enough to tear down Saint-Leu-Taverny manor, and have its blood stained stones sold to anybody who wanted them?

Wasn’t it enough with all these assaults? Was it still necesary for the devastation to spread its ravages up to the shores of the Nile?

Humanity’s duty is to oppose with all the resources of its genius, to the anihilation of its works; to counterbalance, delay, suspend the operations of nature, who doesn’t know to create new beings but at the expense of those that preceeded them. The law of men is conservation; the law of time is destruction. Man and time must then be locked in a constant struggle. Unfortunately, the first one often sacrifices its mision to help the other with his, and like him, he is armed with a scyhthe and a sword. Once set in this road, Man becomes more dreadful than Time; because the latter’s deteriorations are slow, nothing presses him, he has eternity before him.

Let not the Vandals and ignorance be accused of destruction: Vandals did not make war on monuments, ignorance is respectful. It is in the name of Science and Progress that most of these crimes are commited. It’s science, and not ever ignorance who says: “- This is gothic, therefore it’s barbaric, crush it down!” --It’s science who travels the universe, pickaxe or axe in hand; who goes spoiling Thebes of its imposing ruins which after so many centuries were admired by voyagers, making their souls soar and enlarging spirits by meditation. It’s science who goes ravaging the Thebes necropolis, demolishing the hypogei, making sepulchres collapse, blowing out the dust on the tombs; it is science who would not stop its profanations until she has leveled the desert’s sands to the cradle of primordial civilizations.

It is science who has pillaged Athens as it pillages it each day of its magnificent débris; who tears away its bas-reliefs and its metopes; who strips its statues; who packs up and dispatches its columns and its portals en route to the land of business, for England, where they will be devoured by the extravagant groves of some newly wealthy refiner.

It is science who will not delay to strip India of its monuments of Mughal glory, who won’t hesistate to rip off the Taj-Mahal mausoleum, Akbar Palace, the Mouti-Mutjid, the pearl of mosques; it is science who lets the mausoleums in Akbar and Ulla-Madoula waste away, to hastily authorize their demolition and ship them to Europe.

My God! What an obsession with taking and shipping off! Couldn’t you instead let each latitude, each area have it’s glory and ornaments? Couldn’t you contemplate anything on a distant shore, without coveting and wanting to substract it?

I would not be surprised if someone told me one day that the English had taken down the Moon and stored it in the Tower of London Museum.

You think you have given much radiance to your nation, to have so intensely embellished it, when you have actually buried under the Thames sludge, or the muck of the Seine, the work of two or three thousand years, the masterpieces of fifteen or twenty civilizations; when you have piled up in your crossroads and your shops, Romans over Etruscans, Egyptians over Hindus, Italians on top of Arabs, Greeks over Mexicans?

Each thing has no value other than in its own land, on its natal soil, under its sky. There is a correlation, an intimate harmony between monuments and the countries that erected them, there is no way to intervene with impunity.

The Pyramid needs blue skyes, a smooth floor, the monotonous horizontality of the desert; it needs the caravan passing at its feet; the cries of a nomad ethiopian population, or loneliness and the howling of chackals.

The granite Sphynx needs the lenghty avenues of the Pharaos Temples; she demands them, or the strange hordes killing each other at their shadow. Or the silent ruins of the Karnac.

Obelisks need the temple pillars, the solar cult, the idolatry of the multitudes, or the desert.

These monuments that pour such great amounts of sublime poetry on the arid sands of the Sahara, that proclaim the grandeur, the might, the genius of races past, are dragged to the bosom of our cities and become as drab, mute, and stupid as them.

How great would a Sphynx look in a gap between a cobbler shop and a tavern! Such a wonderful effect the profile of an obelisk would give to an hôtel garni, between a guardhouse and a tea shop!

Alas! All these arguments non withstanding and many more, France leans in the monument trafficking business, and does it without quarter. Recently and in a notorious, scandalous fashion, she has imported a monolith, uprooted from the ruins of Luxor. Poor France!... how happy she is now that she posseses an obelisk! What glory! May you rejoice long time, my fatherland! A child who shakes its rattle forgets its troubles: may this granite rattle numb your pain and pour balm in your sores!

But if, like a child, you have a need for toys, often too like him, you don’t know what to do with what you desire, once you posses it.

In order to find a use for it, during three years, no wait, what am I saying? During four full years, rhetoricians and reasoners have striven: even men from our senate, who have raised this high question on their petite chambre.

And during these for years, by roads and paths, by mounts and valleys, we haven’t seen nothing but obelisk hunters, wandering, torch in hand, to find not a man but to find or perch themselves on this coquetish emblem of the solar rays. This one here wants it to be placed on the Louvre courtyard; that one over there, right in the middle of the Invalides esplanade; this one there, at Montmatre, between two moulins; him over there, on the Pont-Neuf terrace, in stead of that insipid Henri IV. In fact, what does a Herni IV even mean? Nothing is more spiritual than an obelisk! The majority inclines in favour of the place of the so called Concorde; without doubt, because there, the obelisk will provide the advantage of cutting up the four façades into eight(*2).

In order to satisfy everyone, to manage the goat and the cabbage(*3), The State, who wants to rob nobody of its hope, consequently orders to have them erected everywhere; and with that purpose, it is said the state has emitted lettres de marque to a company of sapeurs charged with capturing and embargoing all the obelisks they can get their hands on. We must conclude that this enterprise is founded on a wealth excedent in order to have reserves and prevent any lacking of this provision so necessary to the People, and that a market is opened for the sale of those in excedent, to stock up the provinces. --Every fortnight their taxes will be displayed along those of the bread.

I seek to joke; but my jest truns into a grimace, my laugh is hollow; my heart is too heavy with moral pain; and whose wouldn’t be, when imagining the stupid misemployment of money destined to the protection of the Arts; of the mess made at this very moment in the château de Versailles; imagining the considerable sums spent on the coupling and uncoupling of stones; imagining that the Louvre is still unfinished, that we deny him a mason while during more than three months, we make more than eight hundred arabs occupied with just digging up trenches in a soft slope, made from the pedestal of this Egyptian men-hir up to the pier; when imagining this false and disordered love some men have for antique rubble, and of the disdain professed solemnly about our own antique junk, which should be so glorious for us, which we should be so protective of!

Wretches! While you squander the treasury on your conquests of green or pink Sphynxes, while you reattach becquets or empeignes to mutilated bacchuses and hermeses, our cathedrals fall to ruin, our Castles are dismantled, Royaumont abbey, the most admirable edifice erected by the generosity of Louis IX, who erected so many admirable ones, lies there, semi destroyed and devastated by a laundry.

All your boisterous display of affection for Art and Antiquity is nothing but an impudent parade. If you really had a sensitivity for the good and the beautiful, wouldn’t you put away the Raphaellos, the Rembrandts or the Andrea del Sartes you offer in your galleries? Would you allow these collected masterpieces to be dispersed and preyed upon by foreigners? Your feelings are feigned and false. Your heart has never beaten under the vaults of a temple; you never quivered at the sight of a Murillo or a Corregio; you have never understood Puget; you ignore who Jean Bullant, Jean Joconde or Philibert Delorme are; you are nothing but pedants at the shore of the Seine, and you pretend to be poets on the coasts of the Nile. Shame on you!...

Those who do not understand Saint-Vandrille, Blois, Chambord, Gaillon, Royaumont, Brou; cannot understand Thebes. Just like the One who traded, when there were yet nothing more than clovers in his crown (???), Jean Goujon’s Diane of Poitiers in exchange for an Ajax by Dupaty, how can He ever understand an obelisk?

You do not profess the religion of the Ancients; you don’t even practice that of Art or Country, all you want is to simulate what you can’t feel; you want the appereance of a protector, play-act Maecenas, affecting solicitude, and to showcase your imposted solicitude you become extravagant; you seek to astound vulgarity with your eccentricities. Little it matters to you that your underlings demolish by hits of paper bundles the most magnificent vitraux, you do not concern yourselves with such petty matters, where you would remain obscure: you need sensational acts. You must attract the eyes of the masses, and squeeze out their admiration. You know full well it is not wisdom and beauty what stuns and amazes, and you need to stun, and to achieve that you need wonders.

No one will turn their heads to look at a superb arab stallion, the most beautiful creature of God, the most beautiful being; but when we present a giraffe, that ridiculous animal, the multitude will briskly rise and run en masse to see it pass, its entrance would be a triumph! What do we care about a work by Michelangelo? Who will stop and take a detour to look at it? But with an obelisk the multitude will stampede around it. An obelisk is a stone giraffe: your obelisk will be a success!

About a hundred fools will go “Oh!!!” when percieving it for the first time. A hundred or so grocers from the suburbs will come after selling their groceries, they’ll stop with their mouth gaping, and ask what is this machine ornamented with ducks and zig-zags: and we could answer in french: it’s a stone spike; emphatically we will say in greek: this is an obelisk monolith (what a wonderful thing Greek to pump up platitudes, to obscure what was clear!) "Zounds!" these brave people answered, "before that I thought it was a fire pump stack!"

But all jokes aside, what is it that you find beautiful in an obelisk? As art, as an accomplishment, as an invention, as a silhouette, as an effect, it’s an ugly and empty monument. Do you want to give a fabourable impression on the egyptians and their genius? Why then did you pick from among their works, a milestone? Because, you know as well as I do, or better than I since you are wise, that an obelisk was not a monument, but a milestone placed in front of temples or palaces to there inscribe the names and surnames of the founders, the enlargers, the restorators of these palaces or temples.

Do you want to prove to what point the Egyptians were skilled in their transportation and mounting of such enormous blocks? Good God! The skills of the Egyptian are not up to debate, we know perfectly well they were very adroit.

Or do you want to prove to us that you are stronger than them, and that you can, like they did, build without effort heavy masses. Good God! Who is discussing your skill! We already know perfectly well you are as skilled as the Egyptians. We know your steam machine would make the obelisk dance if it didn’t have teeth(*4).

The Romans, who didn’t know better than to pillage and imitate, transported to Italy about twenty obelisks: we are like we have seen, in our way to ship an innumerable amount. It’s al very well to imitate August and Constance; that gives us a less trivial appereance. Sixtus-Quintus(*5) had Caligula’s obelisk streightened; but how can you streighten an obelisk when you don’t have any? The task is simple: we search for them. Méhémed-Ali is very friendly, he gives to anyone who asks. Furthermore, you have only one so far, and Rome at this very moment, posseses almost half a quarter pound(*6) of them, you’re way behind.

Are you obstinately willing to complete the half quarterpound? Are you seriously that fond of obelisks (on my part, I cannot hide it from you, I am unlucky enough to prefer the infinitely long Strasbourg needle to the two hundred aunes of monolith)? Follow my advice, have your own oblesik made yourselves. Who is stopping you? One would have to have a very insulting opinion on our artisans to think them incapable of such a task. Go to Provence, in the Fréjus diocesis, where the poryphyre abounds; go at the Esterel and in Roquebrune. In the way from Roquebrune to Muy, you will find a mountain containing masses more than sixty feet tall, with a considerable width. You could there chisel, like the Romans used to do, columns similar to those brought from High-Egypt; you could make there a profusion of obelisks; and certainly, obelisks made of French porphyre, crafted by french artists, which would worth as much as those granite obelisks form Egypt.

“Whoa! Whoa there you ass!/hold your horses!” will the savants cry at this evil proposition; “Imbecile!” They will call me, “Obelisks have no intrinsec value!; their worth is the memories stored in their bosom, the memories they overflow with.” Dream then you idiot, that the Luxor obelisk remembers Ramses or Rhamases III (monsieur Marle has not yet fixed the orthography of this name; for now there is only an orthography for improper nouns) Rhamases III, fifteenth king of the eighteenth dynasty! What? You were not expecting a memory of Ramses or Rhamases, the same selon les uns, tout autre selon les autres, que Sésostris, que le grand Sésostris ! ---Cruel, unfeeling, how are you not disolving into tears to the memory of Ramses III, fifteenth king of the eighteenth dynasty! How does your heart not beat furiously at its mere name, here, written on the stomach of these eight kynocephalus monkeys(*7)!...

Alas! Messieurs, I beg pardon; but I cannot sympathize with you in this point. My heart is not that wide yet, or as elastic as to extend so far its loves and affections. Your Ramses or Rhamases III, fifteenth king of the eighteenth dynasty, was doubtles a really great man (we must never speak ill of those who are gone); but on my side, sincerely, he and his great milestone are no big deal.

Don’t think that France is anymore crazy over your Pharao than me messieurs, or that she has ever thought to erect him an altar; and you can be certain that it will not be the remembrance of your Rhamases III, fifteenth king of the eighteenth dynasty, who will come and attack them when they lay eyes on the milestone, located on a spot still fuming with the blood of Louis XVI.

[Its prolly time I make a pinned for this account, no?]

Welcome, ladies, gentlemen and the technicolor rainbow in between, to the hellfire of cacophonous nonsensical words said by characters from another man that is not I! For I don't know how to be original!! Wahoo!!!!

I'll take submissions using any of the characters made/used by Chonny Jash! That includes the 4 from Vol 1, anyone from Gothic Whore & maybe some for the Power Hours! I myself will post ones involving Heart Mind Soul & Whole, since I understand them better. But! Submissions of the others are greatly appreciated & encouraged :}

[Not that it rlly matters but me pronouns be He/It/Soul & you can call me KJ or Atlas]

I take submissions! All I ask is you follow these rules :}

———————

1. Obviously nothing offensive. Nothin racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist etc. etc. Just be a decent normal human being lol

2. Adding onto that, nothing thats especially ableist about or towards Heart. Nothing that's insulting or making fun of him being blind or anything related to that.

3. No NSFW!!! These characters may be adults and I may be an adult however there's a lot of younger peeps here! Plus, CJ is uncomfy with that & I am as well. [Nothing thats suggestive either]

4. No quotes that involve shipping between Heart Mind & Soul [or Jash looking/based characters]. Also likely no family ones either. Just so its neutral enough that anyone with any type of headcanons can read them and it not be weird. Platonic ones are perfectly fine though.

5. Please don't baby or infantilize Heart. You can make him goofy & lighthearted, but theres a point in which you make him seem overly childish or dumb. He may be the emotional side but hes still an adult.

6. Please refrain from adding too many color changes in quotes! Stick with just the names at the start and not every use of the name in speech or pronoun. Just so everythings easier to read :}

6. You can submit text or pictures! You can even specify if you want something put into a texting chat, discord messages or a twitter post. I have apps that I can imput those into.

[squirrelwrangler]

Now I noticed how NOBODY ELSE benefits from the Silmarils's retrival, the rest of the Noldor, the Edain, all the other elves (Eldar and Avari), nobody gets anything, the Silmarils are for Feanor and his sons only. Which...is far, its their jewel, not anyone else. Buuuuut, its so double standards, cuz they also feel entitled to other people's stuff?

Yet the Feanorians feels like...entitled to aid? What their Edain vassals even would care for the Silmaril? Why would the elf servants? The soldiers that fought and died? The normal ass people? Their families? All Noldor mind you

Most fics show the post-Lotr Noldor begin happy and united in Valinor, but honestly? I think they would all lowkey hate each other

The Silmarils are garbage. They are a garbage McGuffin and only exist to give Lúthian and Beren a quest item and Eärendil a halo. They suck. I've gone on record that either direction would have been better -mystery of the Sampo- or having them be a truly living conscious being trapped in the form of a glowing stone (Aide from the SF series Belisarius is my shining example). The Swanships have more value than the Silmarils in both practicality, beauty, community imput, community cultural history, cultural value, and the loss that their destruction caused. The only time the Silmarils are seen positively as a good object to be around is when Elwing had in the the refugee camp at the Mouth of Sirion.

The Noldor in general are characterized by their fractious individualistic competitiveness. Vanyar have unity. The Teleri are divided (in the case of the Falmari and the rest of the Sindar, deeply so) but show a willingness to come together and reconcile with ease -Denethor and the Nandor, that Avari are welcomed in, Círdan's staunch ally-vassalage, Elwing's plea, the integration of Sindar and Silvan. With them, their branching out into a variety of lifestyles and settlement patterns (shore versus forest, nomadic versus settled, housing location, etc...) suggests that an ad-hoc flexibility strengthens rather than hurts their greater group identity. But the Noldor are the ones with dynastic jockeying occurring on the page. Often violently so. And the nastiest offenders of that are the Fëanorians. Remember, Morgoth himself laughs and acknowledges that their presence and their Oath was always beneficial to him, not detrimental.

Fëanor's actions after the Darkening is some of the foulest shit. His xenophobic political riot speech is skin-crawling. Then he rushes to Alqualondë because he knows that he doesn't have the popular majority support, and his goal, stated right on the page, is to make Valinor worse, to trash it further so that he retains his tenuous political grip. Then tries to incite a coup against Olwë and commit some of the biggest acts of hypocrisy to date in demanding, stealing the Swanships, murder, and then destruction. Melkor only kills one elf when stealing the Silmarils and then stops Ungoliant from destroying them. It's a bad sign when Melkor has the comparative moral high ground.

The shittiness of the Fëanorians and why would the Silmarils matter is a thread that runs through my Bór fics, at least the ones involving Great Lady Borte and her great-granddaughter Kreka. It's rather telling that they were the first Silm fanfics I wrote and shared.

When I write post-war Valinor, it's mostly as the peaceful aftermath of the various OCs that I tortured in Tol-in-Gaurhoth and Angband. Beren's Band of the Red Hand dudes. So I'm not focusing on internal strife because this is the promised comfort of H/C. But I do see a delicate dance from Fingolfin (and Turgon and Finrod) to ensure his followers don't destabilize Finarfin's highly competent rule. (There's a minuscule echo of this in Imin's rebirth). As for the Fëanorians? Bah, they can all stay in Mandos. Maybe one of the twins can come out, but I don't see any problem with storing all of them and the most implacably morally bankrupt of their followers in there until Arda is ReMade.

Fun facts:

Y/n won’t admit it, but they recognize that Inuoka is actually their closest friend (besides Yachi)

Inuoka saw y/n on the very first day and was like: “that one. That one shall be my friend.” And ever since that day he hasn’t left them alone.

Yachi and y/n are texting✨

Yachi is the only contact in y/ns phone that is just a given name.

Y/n and friends is actually a pretty popular group on campus because everyone’s amazed at how they all managed to become such good friends with all the different/clashing personalities.

➪ Leaving home for college and losing contact with everyone I met in high school didn’t bother me all that much. There was only one person I really missed, and all I could hope for was to see her when we’re home for the summer.

A/N: it’s been all long month already and we’re only two weeks in. Send help😀🔫 oh also I got dragged into a DnD campaign and can’t pick a name for my character. Wanna help?

Jotunar and their sex-life

As the title might suggest, this post is totally NSFW. So, read below the cut and youngsters move on!

So after my little drabble celebration I encountered some questions regarding the Jotunar and the way they have sex. I wanted to make a drabble where the reader was a Jotun just like Loki but I got stuck because I had to think how Jotunar would have sex with each other. One thing led to another, so here I am with a head-canon on how Frost Giants have sex and because it is a long head-canon (of course, I would ever be able to write something short) I just decided to give them headings.

Animalistic

First of all I think Jotunar are very animalistic in their ways. This would mean that their intercourse contains a lot of biting and scratching, even to a point where they draw blood - if one likes that specific trait would depend on the individual I think, but overall not many of them will be deterred by it. This means stuff can get a little messy/gory.

BDSM, Toys and pain

And that brought me to the second brainwave; BDSM and toys. I don’t think they are even familiar with the concept, mostly because they don’t have whips (the leather and furs way to precious and scarce to mar it to make it in such an object) and since there is no electricity and thus no batteries, things as vibrators and other toys are ruled out as well. It had me thinking though that they are able to create ice with their hands which they can shape in any way they like and might be shaped into something that can be inserted.

Inflicting pain however, or the dom-sub relationship is probably something they are familiar with, the latter mostly because they have strict hierarchy and therefore once dominance is also something that resonances in the bedroom (or cave). The wish to inflict pain on another is also a trait of this dominance, as is rebelling to the cause. The wish of receiving pain is probably a bare minimum and highly depended on the individual because their way of life will always be survival of the fittest, and submitting oneself to another could (and probably would) be seen as a sign of weakness.

Honor

This striving and alpha-behavior brings me to the next part: honor. I think it is considered a high honor to have sex with the reigning king or queen, and the lower you are in this society, the higher the honor if someone above them in ranking would pick them to have intercourse with - whether they want it or not. This means that hunters or exceptional good fighters will sooner have the honor to bed the King or Queen, and that for those who are lower in hierarchy it is an honor to bed afore mentioned hunter or fighter.

Lust and reproducing

But I think there is a slight difference between bedding one for lust and for reproducing, whereas for lust those stronger hunters and fighters just take what they want but to reproduce they would likely find a strong (fe)male to make sure their offspring is strong as well. Because weak Giants don’t survive Jotunheim.

Slaves

Slaves for sex may sound a little weird to their strict hierarchical world, and maybe it doesn’t fit all the way, but it can be more perceived as punishment for a crime (if they aren’t killed straight away) or as a gift to a high-ranking member of society. This might give one a status symbol; more slaves/pets means a higher respect. I don’t think the slaves aren’t looked after very well and it is a constant survival of the fittest where even among slaves there is a strict hierarchy and they would just try to fuck their way to the top. (just like most societies on this regard)

Sex between same sexes

Sex between the same sexes isn’t frowned upon or seen as an issue of any sorts and therefore they are unfamiliar with terms such as ‘gay’, ‘bi’ or every other label humans love to use. They just take what they want (more explicit whoever they want) and this also is connected with the honor and/or slave part.

Primal lust

Or as I like to call it: the heat. I once read a fic where Loki had the heat and where the reader was brought to him while in is glassy cell in the Avengers and he just had his way with her, his lust unquenchable. I really like this idea because in my mind the Jotunar are primal beings and it makes very much sense when it come to reproducing. When one of the females would be fertile she could get the heat, but in that same regard the males might pick up on this and experience the same heat to reproduce. Their lust unquenchable and just taking what they want until the heat deprives which can be a matter of days or even weeks. (For the life of me I can’t find the fic nor the writer, so if you are reading this, please let me know so I can give you the proper mention in this post! Found the other thanks to my dear followers. @fanficshiddles, this was your canon and thank you for adding to this inspiration!)

Markings on their skin

Yeah, this one where in a lot of fics the writer writes that the ridged markings on Loki’s skin are extra sensitive and add to the pleasure during sex. I think that could be true, and that scratching and biting of them during intercourse gets even more interesting. The other option is that the ridges are some part of exoskeleton and the feeling on those markings is even less than the rest of their skin. I don’t have any solid reasons why either of these options should be true, but I wanted to mention it and I’m just going to leave this in the middle. What I do think however, is that those markings are all over their body, and then I mean all over their body. Talking about pleasure!

Interspecies sex

With all the above said and done, how would this all compare to when a Jotunar has sex with another race, like a human. I think a human would be in dire trouble, especially when they have the heat, because their way can be too rough, let alone that they are taller and bigger creatures in every way. The same would go for a light-elf or other humanoid creatures that are shorter or weaker build than the Frost Giants. In regard to the Aesir, well, when we talk about the Gods I think they would be able to hold up fine, even enjoy it, if we’re talking about ‘lower’ Aesir they are in trouble.

To sum it up...

I think that Jotunar are very primal beings (compared to some other races) with a strict hierarchy and that resonates in their sex-life. They make a distinct difference between lust and reproducing and the latter can be even impute due to their primal lust. 

How this all compares to Loki... Well, you can fill in those blanks yourself but I think most of it is the same way except that he has more control in his Aesir form.

To anyone out there with other/more ideas, feel free to add and share.

[host-of-chthon]

Let me rant for a second, thank you. 

If you ask me whether I like this video overall, no, I do not. Do I even like the song? Absolutely not, I can safely say that listening to it insulted my ears. This is literally the first time in my life I post something only because 2 particular scenes are included in it. 

The first one was the one where Danila Kovalev pushes the singer away after she starts touching him suggestively and tries to kiss (him? Them? Them it is) and she ends up getting hit by a truck and dying on the spot. Why I liked this scene? First, because it shows how awful it is to assume one’s gender and orientation and try to touch them without permission. Second, because the whole concept behind the video is so awful that it calls for that finale. Especially the depictions of androgyny when it comes to females is so poor and stereotypic that the very embodiment of female androgyny who the singer was supposed to embody (the devil? TEMPTATION? Whereas Danila is “Jesus”? COME ON.) was so terrible that it deserved to be ended just like that. Female androgyns are not the “dominatrix” type, nor they are so goddamn fake to think that if they put a white shirt and a tie they are considered “androgynous”, while they still walk and behave in a disgustingly stereotypical female way. The same doesn’t go to the depiction of male androgyny, thankfully. I did not find any faults there, but then again... Kovalev is a NATURAL at it. Think about it. Non binary. Previously a hermaphrodite. How could they NOT nail the whole thing. They weren’t even acting, they were just being themselves.

The second scene which I liked was the final scene. Now, you might think it was a poor attempt at copying Leonardo Da Vinci’s “Last supper”, and you are most certainly right. But when I see this scene from an artistic perspective, I only see the future of gender, and it fills me with hope. Such an envigorating concept to consider, someone not being able to tell the difference between males and females. What a world of beauty, grace and equality would that be. 

Also, let me reveal a pet peeve of mine.

Why do you hold wine glasses like that, you savages. It just defeats the purpose of the wine glass’ long stem, which is supposed to keep your hand away from the bowl containing the wine, to keep it cold, because wine is supposed to be drunk cold! And oh my devil, EVERYONE IS HOLDING THEIR WINE GLASSES THE WRONG WAY!

By te way, notice something? The karaf is supposed to contain water, though it pours out as wine. This is supposed to be the last supper, you people! One may argue that it is white wine turned into blood. THEN WHERE THE HECK IS THAT SCENE WITH PIECES OF FLESH LITTERING THE TABLE? If they had included a scene like that, Kovalev sitiing in the middle of that table surrounded by glasses filled with blood and pieces of raw meat it would be a 10/10 vibe, just for that. It would be the most Mysterio thing ever. And what do they do? They place a piece of orange in front of Danila instead. Cowardice.

@thenekromantik  @just-a-kj-blog and @supreme-burrito your imput would be most welcome. Especially yours, love, because you are clearly the wine expert.

Little Monsters

It’s a strange thing to say that something is deceptively good.

No film is trying to trick you that it is anything but accomplished, but the term still gets bandied about. What it actually imputes is that the style of the art doesn’t suggest the bona fides of the form nor notable level of skill with which it is evinced. By this metric, Little Monsters is deceptively brilliant.

Dave (Alexander England), living on his sister’s couch, on taking his nephew to school immediately falls for his kindergarten teacher Miss Caroline (Lupita Nyong’o). Looking to endear himself by accompanying his ukulele-bearing crush and the little ones on a field trip, there is of course a mass zombie breakout from the nearby US Military base.

What is such a conspicuous US base doing in this very populated area of Australia? We’re not sure, and neither is anyone in this movie.

It’s at this register that Little Monsters operates and for a monster flick, given a light-heartedly exaggerated one, it has the rare dramatic integrity to not depart, even in the most action-orientated sequences, from the level of believability and internal logic it quickly establishes. Too tempering itself with a lightly ironic tone, but for one very blatant comment about the zombies not looking real the very distinct, detached wavelength on which this is operating never overwhelms proceedings with any overly obvious winks. Permitting several excellent throwaway lines (one soldier asking whether this batch are slow or fast-moving zombies being a highlight), the gags are welcomely novel with the filmmakers thankfully nay feeling the need to grind proceedings to a halt to make sure we get the bit.

In this regard, there’s also a blink and you’ll miss it connection between the two central leads revealed casually in a late night conversation; a piece of superb, rewarding subtly rarely seen in like fare.

Uncommonly tight in it’s storytelling, a great deal happens in very short expanses of time. There are coy setups that do well to pay off later and, in what might seem like an eyeroll-worthy attempt to cash in on recently resurgent Star Wars mania, the film actually finds novel ways to deploy the symbolism and all that we’ve come to know from a galaxy far, far away; including one exceptionally staged and shot sequence as a masked figure makes a run for it.

On this character, recent cinema has courted some controversy for reportedly irresponsible on-screen treatment of serious allergic reactions, a matter rarely imparted adequately in film to boot. Little Monsters, choosing to depict such a reaction, respectfully does so faithfully and with bare embellishment. Shying away from comedy and opportunities for gratuitous laughs at this instance, it too renders the moment memorably dramatic absent using it exploitatively as a basis for greatly extraneous action. For this author, who had to a carry around an epinephrine at a young age in anticipation of such a circumstance (save the zombies, naturally), it’s a rare relief to see the subject depicted sensitively on screen and more so amidst such entertaining carnage.

Nyong’o emerges first and foremost among the cast, pivoting exceptionally and with evident joy between the action and the film’s finest delivery of several stand-out one-liners. Nearly matched by Josh Gad as world-famous and predictably cynical children’s entertainer Teddy McGiggle, he is likewise here living his best life. England, no match for the screen presence of his co-stars, still manages to sell the good-natured if ill-equipped Dave.

Too featuring a special treat for Taylor Swift fans, the best monster movie that Lupita Nyong’o was in this year and one of the finest recent offerings of Australian cinema shouldn’t fly under the radar for long.

"I Can't do This Anymore" Project Get Better.

Hey dear readers! Hope all is well?! Welcome to Project Get Better!

"Project Get Better" is my journey into getting better from my recently diagnosed anxiety and depression. You will follow me into my ups and downs of getting better. This is going to be like a journal. If you would like to have a positive imput for example any self help ideas please get in contact with me! Would love to hear from u! Im also going to use this opportunity to give people hope. Hope that u can get better from a mental illness and the fact you are not on your own! So who am I and whats my story? Well Im Holly from the UK. Im a 29 yr old lesbo and have been struggling on and off since I was a teenager. So y now do I decide to do something about it? You see I hit a wall where I couldn't live like this anymore. I was having panic attacks over what seemed like nothing, I was crying for hours for which again seemed like nothing. It was hurting me and those around me. 2 weeks ago the finally penny dropped. Id had enough. I had a mini breakdown after some people I thought I got on quite well with were being quite nasty about me on social media and me being the sensitive petal I am, broke down. I felt worthless, like everyone hates me, I wanted to die. I found myself sobbing with a knife in my hands pressing down on my arms not hard enough where it bled for England but hard enough to leave a mark. I cried for 2 hours solid over people who didn’t deserve my tears. The next day I went to the doctors.

The doctor I saw was amazing! I filled out a couple of quizzes and answered the doctors questions. She reassured that I was going to be ok. I was officially diagnosed with anxiety and depression. She refered me to a psychological wellbeing practioner and put me on citalopram. So that’s where I am now taking tablets and waiting to see the wellbeing practioner in July. I’m still struggling to find ways to deal with bad days, but the good day are slowly beginning.

So what is depression? And what are the signs and symptoms you may ask? Well here’s what it says on the mental health charity Mind website… “Depression is a low mood that lasts for a long time and affects your everyday life” Each of us that have depression are affected differently. Sometimes it stems from nothing, sometimes it comes from trauma, sometimes it comes from the happiest moments of life such as having a baby, sometimes like mine its genetic. My Nan had it, my uncle and cousin have it, and I have it. Symptoms include: ○ Down or tearful, ○ Restless, irritable ○ Guilt, worthlessness, being down on yourself ○ finding no pleasure in life, ○ Isolation, finding it hard to relate to others, ○ A sense of unreality. Some people experience paranoia and hallucinations.

If you feel suicidal please ring 999 or 112! Get an ambulance! Or ring the samaritans on 116 123. Please get help!!

So what are my symptoms? Well I have all the above symptoms. I often wake up wandering why the hell Im here. I struggle to leave my flat, I think everyone hates my guts. Im in the grey area of suicide, I don’t want to die, but I want the pain to go away so I feel the only way to get rid of this pain is to die. The world is better off without me in it, I have no purpose. I believe I fuck everything up. Don’t worry if I was going to commit suicide I wouldn’t have gone to the doctors to try to get better before I got to the point of carrying out the act.

So whats my next steps? Well I’ve got to wait until July until i see the Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner, I’ve got a doctors appointment on Tuesday for a check up. I continue to take my tablets. I’ve got to work out ways of dealing with my depression myself too, this is where I’m stuck… I have a journal to expel the crap in my head, sometimes this doesn’t work. This is where Project Get Better, comes in! Join me on exploring how to get rid of this depression and raise awareness! Get rid of the stigma of mental health. Its ok to fall!

Faith VS Works

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrDiC9DkZaQ

Welcome back, my friends! If you're here again, I hope it's because you've found value in God's Word and you're eager to learn and grow with me in Spirit. For as God reveals these truths to me, so do I reveal them to you. Before I dig into the meat of this topic, I want to remind everyone to study Revelation in comparison to the things happening in the world. This pandemic and the changes it is causing in our societies and governments is unprecedented. The world is being prepared for a monumental change, and we must all be aware of that fact! 

That said, let's dig in, shall we?

There has long been debate over the truth of Salvation, both how it is obtained, and whether it may be lost along the way. We will cover both topics today, that you may see the Truth as revealed by the Holy Spirit and the Scriptures. If you are a new believer, a young believer (young in your faith, not age), or a non-believer; you must first understand the debate on which this message hinges. On one side of the debate, there are those who believe that all salvation requires is a belief in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and his finished work on the cross. Now, friends, I pray you will hear The Heavenly Father's declaration. Your faith and belief in Christ Jesus is ALL that is required to grant you eternal life. That is the new Covenant in Christ Jesus. 

On the other side of the salvation debate, are those who believe that one must first be saved by Jesus' blood, but then maintain that salvation through good works. Their entire argument rests in the following passage, James 2:20, “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?” This statement, all by itself suggests that, without works one's faith is dead, which they interpret to mean that it does not exist. However, God wants to point out that when He refers to something being so thoroughly destroyed that it will be as though it never existed, this is not the phraseology He uses. He says that they will be plucked up, even by their very roots. Something that has lived and died has at some point lived, leaving proof of its existence, by the shell that is left behind. Meaning, that dead faith, can and does, in fact, exist.

So, what is meant then, by the notion that faith without works is dead? Well, I think it's important that we first find some context for this statement concerning dead faith. The rest of this passage in Scripture, goes like this, "17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God."

Now, I hope you're beginning to get the picture here. Faith, without works is dead, but not because it doesn't exist. Nay, it is dead because it does not bear fruit. Think of your faith as a tree. If a tree is not nurtured and cared for, it will die, and cannot bear fruit. If it does not bear fruit, it can do no good in the world and its purpose goes unfulfilled. Now, put that in the context of your faith. If your faith does not bear fruit - or good works - then it cannot fulfill its purpose in the world. The purpose of your faith is to not only show God that you love Him, but to show the world that He loves them too! Your faith is meant to drive you to share God's Love and Forgiveness with the world. To bring others to Christ that they too may be saved from the ultimate death. I ask you, why would you ever want to keep God's Love to yourself? Or His Forgiveness and Salvation for that matter? God's Love and His gift of Salvation are so awe-inspiring that they should cause you to sing His praises from the rooftops, that all may hear and come closer, seeking to learn what has placed such monumental joy in your heart.

Now, God has commanded that I take a moment to illustrate a few things for you, before we close this out. First, many works salvationists use the term "easy believism" to describe the idea that all one needs for Salvation is faith in Christ. But, let me ask you something, folks. How easy is it to believe in something. Not to simply say you believe in something, but to truly believe it in the very core of your being. I mean, sure, some people might say, "Oh, yeah. I believe in Bigfoot." But, do they? Well, that'seasy enough to figure out. If someone truly believes in Bigfoot, you will find evidence of that belief all throughout their life. They might have posters on their walls, a subscription to a Bigfoot hunting magazine, and even go on active hunts for Bigfoot themselves. AND - here's the important part - they will talk about Bigfoot any time they get the chance. To put it another way; if you suddenly find yourself believing that Apple is the future of computing, what do you think would happen to your life? It would change, right? You'd start filling your house with Apple products and shedding everything else. All your Dell or HP laptops would disappear and you'd trade your Android phone for the latest iPhone. And, every time you saw someone with a non-Apple product, you would evangelize to them about the glory and splendor that is Apple. We see people like this all over the place. Though we may call them Apple fanboys or fangirls, the truth is, they are followers of Apple. They are disciples of Apple. Why? Because they believe in Apple's message and what it can do for your life.

This is why so many of Christ's disciples share the Gospel every chance we get. Not because we must, but because we WANT to, just based on our own experiences with our Lord Jesus and our Heavenly Father. This is also why we are called to turn away from our sins and walk in righteousness. Think of it this way; if someone walked up to you, Android phone in hand and started telling you all about the latest iPhone, you'd probably immediately ask them why they have an Android if Apple is so good.

So, if we go out and speak on the goodness of God and His gift of Salvation, we need to be prepared. The Bible warns us that before we try to remove the log from our brother's eye, we must first remove the splinter from our own. In other words, we need to be prepared for those we approach to point out our own shortcomings. Even though we as humans may consider our own shortcomings to be less than those of unbelievers, we must remember that God considers all sin equal. Even unbelievers and atheists know that, and they will use it against you, trying to cause you to stumble and give up. Perhaps even to convert you as you would convert them!

Three key things to remember here. Again, these perceived differences in the severity of sin and shortcomings are something man has conjured up all on his own. All sin is equal in God's eyes. It is ONLY man who deals in the scaling of the severity of sins. Second, we must remember that NO ONE, save Jesus Himself, has ever been, or will ever be perfect and without sin. Lastly, we MUST address this issue when we evangelize. We must bring people to the understanding that Salvation and faith in Christ DO NOT equal perfection. All will fall short of the glory of God. ALL. The fundamental difference between a believer and a non-believer is in their acceptance and understanding of their own failure and sinful nature. The difference is that believers understand that Salvation and Forgiveness are necessary. Unbelievers do not know understand, or embrace this. Thus, they find no value in Salvation. 

The freedom from sin granted us by Forgiveness and Salvation does NOT mean that we will never sin again. But, it DOES mean that we have the knowledge and spiritual wherewithal to see the sin in our lives, to see the destruction that it causes, and to see that there is always a way out. There is a way to better ourselves, our lives, and the lives of those around us. Freedom from sin means that you are no longer blinded and bound by sin, but are free to see it and to turn away from it before it can wreak havoc in your life.

Despite God's message of dark times and great tribulations on the horizon, these dark clouds have a brightly lit, and inadmissible silver lining, which He has also provided. There is good news amidst the coming destruction, friends. And that good news is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Find Him. Seek Him. And accept the Love He holds for you. A pure, righteous, just, undying, and UNCONDITIONAL Love. God bless you all.
