As much as I joke about blasphemy, at the end of the day I think Jedas's presence in this poll is neither pro- nor anti-christian. Just like how shipping spirk (despite protests from the writer) isn't necessarily pro or anti Star Trek.
At the end of the day, no matter how influential the Bible is, it's still a piece of media, with storyline and characters and potentials for interpretation. I like that about all the interpretations of Jesus and Judas, and the way people talk about shipping them not just in a haha funny way but in a genuine way. Because it's treating the bible as media, not scripture, and treating the characters many of us has grown up with as characters, not untouchable deity.
Through transformative work and our interpretive lens, we demystify canon. And that's the core of shipping.
And I like the fact that people do it with fondness and love. There's no sweeter innocence than this gentle sin.

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.
#elizabeth woodville#nobody was doing it like her#I wanted to add more things (eg: propaganda casting her as a transgressive figure and a threat to established orders; the way we'll never#truly Know her as she's been constantly rewritten across history) but ofc neither are unique to her or any other historical woman#my post#wars of the roses#don't reblog these tags but - the thing about Elizabeth is that she kept winning and losing at the same time#She rose higher and fell harder (in 1483-85) than anyone else in the late 15th century#From 1461 she was never ever at lasting peace - her widowhood and the crisis of 1469-71 and the actual terrible nightmare of 1483-85 and#Simnel's rebellion against her family and the fact that her birth family kept dying with her#and then she herself died right around the time yet another Pretender was stirring and threatening her children. That's...A Lot.#Imho Elizabeth was THE adaptor of the Wars of the Roses - she repeatedly found herself in highly anomalous and#unprecedented situations and just had to survive and adjust every single time#But that's just...never talked about when it comes to her#There are so many aspects of her life that are potentially fascinating yet completely unexplored in scholarship or media:#Her official appointment in royal councils; her position as the first Englishwoman post the Norman Conquest to be crowned queen#and what that actually MEANT for her; an actual examination of the propaganda against her; how she both foreshadowed and set a precedent#for Henry VIII's english queens; etc#There hasn't even been a proper reassessment of her role in 1483-85 TILL DATE despite it being one of the most wildly contested#periods in medieval England#lol I guess that's what drew me to Elizabeth in the first place - there's a fundamental lack of interest or acknowledgement in what was#actually happening with her and how it may have affected her. There's SO MUCH we can talk about but historians have repeatedly#stuck to the basics - and even then not well#I guess I have more things to write about on this blog then ((assuming I ever ever find the energy)#also to be clear while the Yorkists did 'eat themselves alive' they also Won - the crisis of 1483-85 was an internal conflict within#the dynasty that was not related to the events that ended in 1471 (which resulted in Edward IV's victory)#Henry Tudor was a figurehead for Edwardian Yorkists who specifically raised him as a claimant and were the ones who supported him#specifically as the husband of Elizabeth of York (swearing him as king only after he publicly swore to marry her)#Richard's defeat at Bosworth had *nothing* to do with 'York VS Lancaster' - it was the victory of one Yorkist faction against another#But yes the traditional line of succession was broken by Richard's betrayal and the male dynastic line was ultimately extinguished.

underrated insane line of all time is when dean says
"I used to be able to just shake this stuff off, whatever it was. Might take me some time, but I always could. What cas did... I just cant I dont know why"
like girl WHAT
Why is this different. Why does he not UNDERSTAND why its different. I mean he's been betrayed. He's watched friends die. If its just that he's upset at the betrayal and subsequent death of a friend, why would he struggle to understand that? I mean surely if its that simple it'd be pretty fuckin obvious. So I ask again, why. Is. This. Different.

Danse has to get homesick In Sanctuary. Like despite being uncertain of how much his past is real including times with the Brotherhood, those memories were home. The Brotherhood was home especially the Prydwen.
No matter all the comfort and the luxuries SoSu could put to make him feel more relaxed or like it’s his space it’s still not home. It’s so unique to him cause everyone else has a home in a sense. A thing or place they can come and go to as they please while Danse doesn’t. He can never go back to the people he considered family and they can never go to him without serious consequences. It doesn’t help that (due to his own faults and beliefs) a good majority of the new people in his life do not exactly like him.
It’s so isolating for him as the wasteland is also a different culture in general. Theres so much he’s not used to vs what he is. But all in all I think that’s a good thing. I feel as if Danse had a better arc in game it would 100% have him learning or developing a sense of home before a sense of self. I think it gets overlooked that Danse is a person that likes or feels like he needs to belong to something. A cause, a philosophy, a mission. He needs a goal. He must learn to live for himself and his purpose but it’s clear he wants to find that through something which is why he latches onto the Sole Survivor after rather than just wander the wastes. He needs something, anything to base a sense of self on at this point in time and who better than the person that opened their home to him in the first place.
He’s a dude that needs a foundation or home to ground himself on or else he doesn’t know what to do with himself or even start.
#my persona take it that’s why despite Danse being an ass to the other companions at time SoSu gets it cause they remember when they just#woke up from the vault#like the world was so different and the things they thought were outdated wrong or nonexistent by now#Danse has a long way to go but they know how hard and detrimental it can be to do it by yourself and they know Danse would get better if he#actually learned and lived under not the bigots of steel#cause I put him in sanctuary after and he always stays far from everyone like strong and patrols the edge like he’s avoiding everyone or he#is not comfortable there so I imagine he’s like getting used to and actually letting it settle he’s a synth#his life if he wants to call it that is a lie and th wonky place he felt like he had a purpose now wants him dead#and finds him a disgrace and he certainly does to cause of bos propaganda#like he’s racist but the story clearly shows you it’s like this is what been enstilled in him cause he can get better that blind betrayal#and before I get someone being like but he only gets better cause he experiences the oppression and like yeah#he got yanked out of a pseudo religious organization with highly conservative views for the setting and was put at thr opposing end despite#all hes done and rhe brotherhoods supposed loyalty to each other doimg nothing tk belp#him and now hes realizing thag if he was a synth and didnt know ans lived a life fully beliving he was human#than maybe the brotherhood was wrong abouy things or at least synths#like hes not gonna change over night and bethany esda certainly does not know how to right charactwr arcs well in this game#fallout#fallout 4#fo4#paladin danse#danse fallout 4#talking about him like i ever side with the brotherhood

Honestly, besides just that there are other elements worth appreciating in the show, people need to look past Rayfrog as “I want them to get married” and try looking at the two in the larger scope of the world
mainly, the parallels they have with Alex and Dolph, not as a ship, but as individual characters
mainly that Rayman/Ramon is most like Dolph , but Bullfrog also has some (small) similarities with Alex surprisingly. Though you can definitely make connections between the more obvious characters of Bullfrog/Dolph and Rayman/Alex too

The Monolith
I take a gulp to wash the day down, So very far down and away from the Hollow faces and even emptier words That permeate the malls, halls and roads, Monuments to this silent kind of slavery Unknowingly embraces, we endure.
I take a gulp to sink even further unto Revolution, evolution, and nausea As I witness the promise, the knife, And lie once more into the back, Our collective back, apathetic, asymptomatic, Unnoticed, uncaring, and almost wished for.
I take a gulp, another a gulp, GULP! I finish it off.
I grab another, I finish that one off too; And another and another and another So that I may succumb to a stupor, Our different sort of sickness, surrender. Yet, It’s when the the cool air ushers dawn’s glow, That my red glare, no pun intended, Can finally coerce and suddenly see –
America’s an illusion And my noose is only slightly looser than yours. Until the drink may begin again.
- Hathaway Hayes (2013)

DID JUDAS AND JESUS SEND THEIR WHOLE UNIIVERSE INTO A WAR WITH THEIR BETRAYAL? I DONT THINK SO
Getos face made gojo, the strongest person to ever exist, freeze and get locked up because it reminded him of all the time they spent together, what did judas' betrayal do to jesus??
Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Round 2
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Round 2 Directory
Context:
Judas/Jesus
Summary by Clock
Judas sold Jesus to the Romans for 13 pieces of silver. He signaled the Romans and marked out Jesus amongst the disciples with a kiss. (He could have just pointed and said "that's Jesus" but he decided to kiss Jesus one last time.) He later hung himself, the 13 pieces of silver laid unspent by his feet.
Geto/Gojo
Summary by @gosephjoseph
Together, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto were “The Strongest” in both power and bond, each other could seemingly endure anything as long as they had each other. Geto was Gojo’s moral compass who taught him compassion towards the weak and inspired Gojo to protect others in spite of himself and was able to unlock his true potential. Geto, ultimately, burnt out from his consumption of curses and disdain for humanity ended up denouncing his ways in a violent matter. When confronted by Gojo, Geto made it clear that this was his path to fight for whereas Gojo could simply do what Geto was set out to do without effort. The two were no longer the strongest together, Gojo had become the strongest alone and was not aware until after Geto left. Once aware of this change, Gojo states that it isn’t enough for him to be “the strongest” if he couldn’t save those (Geto) who didn’t allow himself to be saved.
Despite the death penalty on Geto’s head, Gojo refuses to kill him right away, and even after he manages to 10 years later does not allow his body to be cremated which enables the cursed deity Kenjaku to inhabit his body. Kenjaku exploits Gojo’s weakness for Geto in Shibuya, basing his entire plan on the notion that the unstoppable all-powerful Gojo Satoru would only stop at the sight of the late Geto Suguru, and he was correct. Gojo is able to see through the farce and rejects his Six Eyes telling him that it’s the same Geto Suguru as his SOUL knows that it isn’t him.
Throughout their story, despite the betrayal the two hold each other in their hearts; Geto fondly remembering Gojo while Gojo still holds trust for him even after Geto proves to be an active threat. His last words to Geto, while unreleased to the audience, are able to make Geto smile fondly and asked to be cursed instead.

I literally need Dusknoir from Explorers of Sky to get in so bad. He betrays the audience + almost the entire cast, ending with the being he used to work for in his villainy. Betrayal Georg.
