MY TIME HAS COME
ok so andrew's name actually is already biblical, it being andrew joseph minyard; andrew was an apostle of jesus, and joseph was the son of jacob. there are actually some notable events in bible andrew's and aftg andrew's lives.
bible andrew was known as Prōtoklētos or first-called in the gospel of john. this is because he was the first to meet jesus and also the first of his twelve apostles! he was a fisherman and was fishing with his brother when jesus approached and asked him to become a "fisher of men". andrew, upon recognizing jesus as the messiah (the savior), recruited his brother simon peter to follow jesus as well.
and what happens to aftg andrew pre-tfc? he is recruited by wymack and sees an opportunity for his family (aaron because he needed the scholarship, and nicky because he deserved something good). essentially, he did "fish men" and recruited people into the foxes because he believed that it would benefit them, hence why he might view wymack as their "savior". not only that, neil speculates that part of kevin's reasons for transfer is andrew.
moving on to joseph (genesis) because i might yap too much if i focus on both, but things happened that eventually led to his brothers being jealous and selling him (he's innocent). long story short, he became an important person in the pharaoh's court (😏) because he could interpret dreams and gave the pharaoh advice in order for egypt to prosper.
how does this relate to aftg andrew joseph? this might be a bit of a stretch but it does share parallelisms to how tilda left him, forcing him to move around in the foster system before eventually becoming a fox. his talents at exy, like joseph's skill at dream interpretation, becomes his key to a better life (pro team! neil!) and i think that's wonderful...
going back to names though, andrew means "man" in greek while joseph can mean "god shall add" coming from the greek word that means "to add, increase"
his name literally can literally mean the man who will add.
you know what else his name can mean, though? the man who will give.
he gives neil a phone. a key to his house. kisses. a reason to live.
anyway i think nora just did eeny-meeny-miny-mo for their names lol
this has probably been said before but you know what kills me about aftg
you have renee right. her whole backstory revolves around being a "reborn", and her two names (besides their religious roots) literally mean "dedicated to the festivity of birth" and "reborn", plus the sheer fact that she goes by the middle one shows how she chooses her "second life" over who she was etc etc
and then you have just. "andrew"
#tldr i like andrews name#he is JustAMan™#this was just an excuse to yap tbh#andrew minyard#all for the game#aftg#the foxhole court#the raven king#the kings men#tfc#trc#tkm#bible analogies??#andreil#neil josten#aaron minyard#kevin day#nicky hemmick

two incident in mclaren's motorhome god is sending signs amen
Like how many more signs do you NEED that this team is the embodiment of evil on the Formula 1 grid.
#something about ferrari and it's analogies to the catholic church and its Great Enemy being mclaren who is ontologically evil#thinking ab mclaren almost winning the war (2007 f1 championship) with specs stolen from the heart of heaven (maranello) itself...#if sports narratives bad why do they sometimes accidentally reinvent the bible#anti mclaren#hungarian gp 2024

Mixed Messages
You demand respect
Yet respect no one
You want deep connections
But never open up
You say, "Your feelings are valid"
Then dismiss them
You command the truth
Yet speak lies yourself
You act differently "irl"
Than on Social media
You create "boundaries" for yourself
But then, break mine.
You desire forgiveness
Without extending it
You expect our attendance
While disregarding your own
You require responses to your messages
Then, ignore ours in return
You need approval
Yet disapprove of everyone
You set high standards for all
Save yourself
You want unconditional love
While placing conditions on yours
You seek adoration
But send out humiliation
You preach "the Golden rule"
Then ignore it.
You say you want peace
But always start war.

something something there are two wolves inside of you except one wolf is rabid scratching at the walls insane over son of aphrodite camp halfblood steve harrington BUT the second wolf is like that specific steddie fic where eddie keeps calling steve his "apollo"
#steve harrington#steddie#eddie munson#OKAY listen#like yeah you who i venerate as the god apollo#not only as a divine figure but also the physical embodiment of the sun and light and daytime (all stereotypically moral and Good things)#you who has received my praise and words of worship and my presence kneeling at ur feet#and i desecrate you and make you less than#make you Mortal#a true fallen angel moment like#SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP#like oh to blaspheme that which is holy#but in a decidedly already impure way#like this isn't innocence#which is why it's an analogy to greek mythos rather than the actual bible which reeks more of repression#but also like steve harrington favored child of aphrodite boy with charmspeak YEAH....#YEAH....

melancholic grace chasity moodboard with sapphic and christian themes requested by anon
#moodboard#grace chasity#npmd#grace npmd#sapphic grace chasity#HI I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THIS ONE#FIRST OFF: HOPE YOU LIKE THIS ANON#i wanted to include like 'my God my God why have you forsaken me' (bc grace thinks liking girls is analogous to Jesus on the cross'#or even like an annotation of psalm 139:14 with 'why like this'#but i COULDN'T. very unfortunate. so i hope you like what i've done instead!!#couldn't include a Bible verse. SAD. bc i there is lament in the Bible but all the aesthetic stuff focuses on the final part (praise)#instead of lament in its entirety. crying out to God and THEN coming back to Him#i don't have the girls kissing in most of them bc i wanted to get across the yearning and the angst.#but there was one with girls kissing in the church so i had to and fortunately i think it still fits the vibe#anyway thank you anon this was fun i hope you like it#sapphic#christian aesthetic#melancholic#melancholy moodboard

He said to his disciples, “The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.”

I have so many song parallels to rvb characters in my brain
Also recruits but I'm waiting until S2 before setting anything in stone so far because I really only get Network and Analog so far
#theyre also the main arcs so far and even then Analog isnt even really an arc and all we see of Network's is pushing everyone away#but still#theres poetry in that actually 🙏#i firmly believe Church would be some sort of Ghost song if not Jesus Dont Like That Im Gay But Satan Is Cool With It#mostly because of his name and also because hes so parallel with Adam in the Bible and The Director is God and its torturous and cruel and#they drive me crazy i love this actually#the Meta and Church/Alpha and the Director are all parallels ill explain later if someone asks 🙏🙂↕️

A long time ago DMC's twins were biblically compared to Cain and Abel. I don't hear and see that as much now.
I don't agree why they compare the twins to Cain and Abel. I don't think they're twins and their story is that of murder done by a jealous hand. Neither the twins were jealous of the other. Their story is simply how they view their father's gifts upon them and what they do with it.
If we're going to use this tale as analogy to reboot DmC twins' story it's weak sauce. Vergil's Downfall may reveal Vergil's internal struggles of feeling lesser, but it strongly stems from his own limited perception. Perhaps he now wants to kill Dante because he perceived him to be their mom's favorite? Of course, the audience gets the idea that is likely untrue. He could also have motives against Dante simply because their difference in perspectives of the world clashes with one another so much.
In a way, then, the Cain and Abel analogy may loosely fit DmC, although Cain and Abel's story is about penalizing a crime. And how even the most mundane situations can still lead to someone's demise, if the wrong circumstances happen.
There is another notable biblical sibling story, Esau and Jacob. This time however their story is about birthright and the best candidate to even attain such a thing, as well as the legacy passed down.

mood for the afternoon: my father’s budgies chirping along to pirate music while I sniffle pathetically on my parents’ couch
#all of those analogies in the Bible of chicks sheltering under a hen’s wings#and the ones about fatherly love and comfort#and motherly love and protection#they have never been a mystery to me thank God#but also I hate being sick and pathetic at home with only Maggie for comfort

Jesus died so that he would reborn again
Which is what trans people do too, right?
(Also like. There was like. A literal transfiguration of jesus. That also happened)
happy trans day of visibility everyone, i can now legally be perceived for the next 24 hours
#what im saying is that just like people interpret the bible to affirm their queerphobia we could do the reverse if we really wanted to#the bible is full of metaphors and analogies which are said to not be all explained in clear anyway

It would have been as if Joseph's brothers had come down to Egypt to buy grain but found no one home.

THIS REMINDS ME! why does it feel like a good 80% of current indie horror series are extremely christian? the amount of times "turns out: its actually demons/angels/god/satan!" has happened in the series ive heard about is wild... and its honestly getting boring lmao
yeah it makes sense in the "this is a commentary on a specific part of culture or a specific view point in society" kind of way. but theres still so much, im getting annoyed whenever it happens. i want to look at the application and what it means for the story and setting and creators, but im too busy rolling my eyes at another book of revelation reference.
#can we go back to unexplainable horrors?#horrors of unknowable origins?#even some humans are the real monsters shit?#this is not a serious critique and im not talking about the actual quality of the works#but WOW#at this point i would even be happy with a flipped morals or value neutral approach#like some 'the angels were the bad guys all along!' shit#but i would prefer something more like angels and demons as forces of nature that dont give a fuck about us and we can only try to predict#like i just found out about a really interesting one about chainmail and old creepypasta and BAM! angels and the devil and shit#i thought id get cognitohazard shit and ended up with even more bible stuff#i dont even mind the religious aspects just give me something new please omg#anyway all this bc i was reminded of analog horror oops
