ok my thoughts are in order and i think i have smth to contribute to this gore discussion.

the original anon might have had a strong reaction to gore for a reason, just not the reason they thought it was. blood is naturally kinda scary and unnerving bc it's supposed to be inside of you - or another creature. when your own blood or bones are outside of us, we get a reaction bc that usually means we're hurt or dead (undesirable). if we see someone else's bones or blood, we might feel empathy for them, which leads to the same reaction as above.

we can learn to deal with this reaction, as we can all reactions and impulses, by not letting it control us and giving it the space to run its course. that's how we can meaningfully help people who are injured, or humanely slaughter farm animals for food, etc.

i could talk about like, as a Christian, we don't believe we were meant to die, not in Eden. but in this world now, we do die, and we have to live with the consequences of that (blood n bones and gore etc).

yea that's my 2 cents ty :)

100% agree. gosh that's a good point; blood and gore giving us such visceral reactions so that we can tend to injured people or want to cause as little suffering as possible to animals.

I think that blood/gore has gotten so. I don't know the word... stereotyped as being Evil itself, even that doesn't make much sense to me. I don't think organs or blood are corrupted; they're ridiculously complex inner workings God designed. it also has spiritual value as well; the Bible mentions blood and such many times when dealing with spiritual matters.

I have a lot of nuance when it comes to violent and gory media; I enjoy a lot of gory films, and I think body horror is interesting (doesn't help it's a special interest). I do believe there's stuff that simply shouldn't be considered (things that glorify hurting other people). I don't know. I just find it strange when I see Christians go as far as considering anatomy as disgusting in a sinful way.

Hii i found this guy on my bedroom floor last night do you know what he is or how soon I'd die if he bit me??

He didn't bite me and i escorted him outside safely but like. Just wondering

he’s a common stink bug! they’re absolutely harmless. the only thing is, if startled, they release a bitter tasting and awful smelling scent. they’re friendly, I wouldn’t worry about a thing.

any chance you could make prints of some kind of that last dragon poster? where your art resonates with people who disagree with you and vice versa? idk which merch site is least predatory anymore but i'd love to have that poster hanging on my wall irl tysm

Added it as some print options on Society6 ! ( still struggling to get things uploaded on Redbubble with their editor :'D )

harvest - what fictional character do you most identify with? Why?

fireside - if you had your dream wardrobe, what would it look like?

cider - a food that you disliked as a child but now enjoy?

harvest - hard to say, honestly. though overall, I think I'm closest to Indiana Jones. the 'researching' aspect goes hard especially in my current time at uni, but i too often find myself metaphorically kicking and complaining while being taken into Adventures that the Lord has set out. plus, having a habit of dressing as him doesn't hurt. at the same time, i'm still doubting that answer and thinking there's something closer, so i'll probably get back to that at a latter time.

fireside - some insane crossover and several subsections between ‘Fantasy Space Pirate captain’, ‘Indy Academia’ (as in, Indy Jones), ‘Green Academia’ and ‘Children’s Show Host Chic’.

The best way to describe it all is just ‘story whimsy’.

For actual items, I’d imagine large swooshy coats and dresses, MANY a hat rack of fun hats, Several Overalls and Jumpsuits, and others I can’t quite recall at the moment, but I know what it looks like so I’m sure I’ll get there.

cider - Oof, hard to say! I think my best answer would be either black olives or tomatoes? I wouldn't willingly eat either both on their own, but I do love eating them when mixed in bigger foods. Tomatoes in salads and burgers are fine, and black olives are BANGER on pizza.

hiiiiiiiiii

!!!!!

Wow thank you!!!

[nebulardrip]

hii i rb'd your asks meme so i might as well asks! ty

4. Do you place any value in gender roles?

5. Do you have to be related to be family?

6. Are your platonic relationships just as valuable as romantic or family ones?

oh ha ha i’m not OP, but I appreciate the asks!

4. Do you place any value in gender roles?

It depends on what it is. There’s a lot of things that I think both men and women can perform just fine with different strengths. Then there’s others where I think one sex is usually more capable of performing than the other. I believe God made us to complement each other’s weaknesses, so it’s dumb to look down on either sex for what they do.

5. Do you have to be related to be family?

Absolutely not! Step-parents/siblings, adoptive families, foster families, even your friends can be your family.

6. Are your platonic relationships just as valuable as romantic or family ones?

Yep! Absolutely. I think I’d feel a lot more alone if I didn’t think platonic relationships were as important as romantic (considering I only have heart eyes for fictional men lol) or familial relationships.

i'm guessing (true or false) that you order NEW stuff and not the same old same old when you go out to restaurants

Somewhat false?

This one is tricky because I LOVE trying new foods, but money is definitely an object and if I find a favorite I tend to order it because I don’t get to go out to eat a lot (abuelo’s triple try platter my beloved I will come back for you one day). It’s never things like pizza or nuggets which tend to be universals, but usually restaurant-exclusive recipe dishes like buttermilk chicken, fresh fish and rice pilaf, OG mac and cheese, seaweed salad, yakatori chicken, tortilla soup etc. If it’s a new restaurant, I’ll try to pick something strange (unfortunately they were out of alligator meat that one day). That being said, if you get me to an all-you can eat buffet, I’m trying everything and a cup of the gooiest mac and cheese.

what's your favorite era of technology? I mean computers started life as glorified electric looms with the punch cards and have gone thru 1000000 different shapes and forms so there's gotta be one that stands out to you! like aesthetically or how you interact with the buttons, etc

I’m always gonna be a sucker for more physical media so tech from the 70’s, 80’s (such as VCRs, cassettes and so forth) and the retrofuturism stemming from it is something I wish I could drink as a potion to indulge myself in those worlds. Cassette futurism ftw.

That also being said, I was a child in the 2000’s and my little iPod nano, even after dying once after being in a pants pocket that got washed in a washing machine, LIVES AND WORKS. TOUCH-SCREENS WHOM.

Also again being said, I too have a soft spot for early-era touch-screen stuff and underengineered apple-type devices too. Take me back also to when the PCs had dial-up internet and flash games dominated the Wild West of the internet. Miss me those CDs and CD players, DVD players and rushing to stop Disney Fastplay. Love me some cyberfunky Y2K futurism.

I’m actually doing one for once lmao thank you to everyone who has ever tagged me

1. Last song: A Dustland Fairytale by The Killers. “And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere. God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know.”

2. Currently watching: last thing I watched was getting caught up on spy x family S2, I need to catch up on The Chosen S4. I’m currently reading Gentle And Lowly by Dane Ortlund and I just got The Unseen Realm by Dr. Michael S Heiser which I’m really looking forward to reading.

3. Currently obsessed with: Blurry Creatures podcast. If you have any interest in the paranormal, the supernatural, the weirder parts of scripture, ancient history, or the relationship between them all then it’s a must-listen.
