why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it)#The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

But regarding the way Rio revealed herself to Lilia

She didn't choose just any old guise, she chose tarot imagery. She chose something specific to Lilia and Lilia's own language as a witch. She didn't appear as Death - Rio is always Death. She appeared as the Death card. Something so soul-deep for Lilia that the recognition would be instantaneous and unquestionable.

I don't think this is Rio's usual garb. I think she has a lot of control over how she chooses to present, and I think most of the time she probably looks like Aubrey Plaza. She's just Rio. She's a woman. She's the oldest, original green witch. That just also happens to mean that she's Death.

#i have SO MANY FEELINGS about the way the show is presenting Death #Death is a witch! Death is a woman! Death is walking with us unnoticed bc we're distracted by how turned on we are by her (in a scared way)#Death is beautiful and everybody wants her phone number #Death is a human! Death was maybe even born!#Death is a witch! Death is a witch! Death is a witch!#are you all seeing what I'm seeing??#rio vidal #lilia calderu #agatha all along #agatha all along spoilers #my meta

YELLOWJACKETS

#I've wanted to make this for a long time and it's nothing at all like what I set out to do #I was going to have Laura Lee's doomed flight and Jackie's death and praying to the gods of the dirt and the girls running w weapons raised #lottie screaming as they board the rescue plane #in short: a horror story #and instead I ended up with an SOS in red lipstick #the living holding hands around the dead they are all doomed to become #the team doing their best to feed themselves on their limited knowledge and looking out for each other #even the girl they don't really like #the group finding hope in lottie's faith passed to her by laura lee #and ofc the horrible spectacle they become in the media #I guess what I'm trying to say is I set out to paint Shauna as a liar but she's telling the truth #that IS the end of the story #it was beautiful and horrible #and it was a love story #yellowjackets #yellowjacketsedit #shauna shipman #lottie matthews #misty quigley #laura lee #taissa turner #akilah yellowjackets #flashing gif

But not green.

You know the song Mr. Jones? Yeah.

#Something something self perception #they love the image of the hero #But he doesn’t feel like a hero #With all the death he feels he’s caused #Can he be loved? Is he even worthy of it?#he feels trapped and disconnected and stuck and he doesn’t feel REAL #Amsjdjjsjsjsjsjjaajaj #Ferally running around my brain help #the line from the song #we all want something beautiful… man I wish I was beautiful #is another I wanted to add to the comic bc it also fits warriors.. maybe I’ll draw it sometime idk #Lu warriors #linked universe #Linked universe warriors #warriors linked universe #linkeduniverse #hryule warriors #Hyrule warriors link #bc this could be taken that way too #THANK MARGIN FOR THIS HER HYRULE WARRIORS LINK FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED MY PERCEPTION OF THIS GUY #my art #linked universe fanart #Comic #A rare sighting of MY HANDS XD #Bc I used them as a reference lol #Also I know I’ve been posting art every day for like the last 2 weeks or smth #I have no patience #when I finish something I want to show the world XDDD #Tw blood #cw blood

4 year old Ahmad Shabat - an israeli airstrike hit him, his parents & 4 siblings; he survived, they didn't - then they hit him & his father's relatives; he survived, they didn't - then they hit him & his uncle; he survived, his uncle didn't - both of Ahmed's legs have been amputated because of injuries. He survives.

i hope Ahmad gets to live. i hope he has a beautiful and fulfilling life. i hope he finds love and safety and comfort and success. i hope he finds happiness. i hope he heals. i hope he continues to survive. in spite of the violence, in spite of the trauma, in spite of the horror. in spite of the world.

#it feels like my heart is breaking over and over and over again #i hope this kid gets to live. i hope he has a beautiful and fulfilling life.#i hope he finds love and safety and comfort and success #i hope he finds happiness #i hope he heals #i hope he continues to survive in spite of everything #no child should have to go through even a fraction of this #never forget and never ever forgive #i remember seeing a video of him and his uncle. his uncle was speaking ab how they only have each other left. then they killed his uncle to #i am losing my mind every day #i spit on this world and everyone that has the power to stop this but wont #free palestine #palestine #gaza #long live palestine #death to israel #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #glory to the martyrs #long live the resistance

after death ; life again.

what a lovely bouquet! what's the occasion?

#submas #maybe it says something about our world when we adorn our dead with flowers.#human lives and flowers. both so fragile. both beautiful in their own rights.#an eternal cycle; to return to the earth and re-emerge as something wonderful #all this is a long winded way to say i think there is a quiet beauty even in sorrow and grief. you just have to look for it.#hmm. anywayss #i know i said i was gonna draw more horror stuff. but i kept trying and none of it was coming out how i envisioned it.#bleugh. oh well. i suppose it's just as fun to draw flowers as it is to draw blood. :×#submas emmet #submas ingo #<- kinda. i mean that is his coat.#emmet #ingo #my art #🐌 slow pieces #tw implied death #<- also just in case

#critical role #cr lb #ygifs #imogen #and now I'm like did imogen have her own reason for not even going near the raven queen did she pray to her for her mother #thinking her mother was dead was gone and the goddess of death had her and it was just a little girl praying at her bedside #take care of her mother. tell her how much she misses her. she misses her so much. and the raven queen never answered #and she could find no comfort not even in a deity who brought eternal rest there was no solace. and there was no correction #did she pick a god and pray? for her mother to come back. for her father not to hate her. for someone to look at her like shes not a monste #that all this time this certified atheist to have zero interest in the gods or helping them not because she genuinely didn't care #but because once upon a time the little girl she used to be cared so much. and prayed so hard. never seeing the red veil around her #damning her from the grace of the gods #and isn't that just what a monster deserves #not even a gracious god will find you special enough you feel like nothing to them because you are nothing to them #and it's like is that true or is such an evil force preventing their light and it's like I'm chewing but I'm choking #I had to stop looking at laura's face because it was making me too craaazzzyy she'd just be like (bafta) and I'd be like (SCREAMING)#hey matt if this is a birdcall to make imogen a paladin tweet tweet beautiful man

and then would come the murder you will never survive– your brother, sam

the profoundly rattled face dean makes right after cain tells him he'll kill sam. like someone just grotesquely ripped his arteries out. he looks shaken and filled with cowardice. his steadfast mask of unshakable fortitude shattered completely. It's almost as bad as a helpless child at the end of the world. absouletly terrifed. nothing brings him to his knees and breaks his soul quite like sam. It's like watching a proud king stripped of all his grandeur. It's so satisfying bc he does not make these expressions because of anyone else

#also great choice of words on cain #he's like you'll kill your friends castiel and then *life alternatingly separate category* would come the kill you will never survive #the emphasis that dean would survive becoming a murder machine and killing everyone they know #but when it comes to sam even as dean is utterly consumed by the mark he will Never survive it like there's just nothing after this #there's no continuation after this no possible comeback like even when he becomes a shell of himself with no trace of his former self #he'll still be absouletly rattled by sam's death even as a monster and he'll be paralyzed for life. its beautiful #dean winchester #samdean #mine
