Mina to Jonathan:

You are nearest and dearest and all the world to me; our souls are knit into one, for all life and all time. 

1Sam.18 KJV:

[1] And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

PostIronic Martyrdom

by Sajah Francesca

I am the evil incarnate.

I am the six tripled.

I am a fallen warrior

turned villainous in his final battle.

Pity the fool that is me.

Pity the bearer of arms-

I cannot control where my daggers stab

but I must

pierce something

to survive.

My arms are tied

to the devil’s trident

like a marionette

to its wooden manipulator.

I AM HUMAN GIVE ME GRACE

TO MAKE MISTAKES!!

I expect perfection.

I control the direction

of the path

to my own death,

dont i?

i demand perfection.

this is not a deflection

for my actions which I took

with one eye closed, with

tremoring hand on a pistol with

the safety clicked off.

I have shot the innocent,

I have watched them bleed,

but I feel remorse!

Does remorse count for nothing?

In the name of love,

I strike like a viper.

In the name of love,

I plant a poisonous flower

in a garden of Eden.

In the name of foolish

love for life,

I kill the victim and

drain their blood,

tenderly, methodically, and

string them up by a vine

so their feet

are one with the branches

of a tree; their life force

rains down on the roots

from their decapitated form.

Violence begetting growth.

In the name of youth,

can you forgive me?

In the name of naivety,

might I beg you for forgiveness?

I AM HUMAN GIVE ME GRACE

TO MAKE MISTAKES!!

Will I change?

Is that required?

Will I grow?

Is that required?

Will I learn?

Does it matter?

I expect perfection.

I control the direction

of the path to

my own death,

dont i?

I walk alone

carrying my cross on my back,

bleeding.

What is one more strike

from a glass-thorn whip?

Strike me again.

Strike me again.

I am begging for you to

strike me again.

Make me feel pain.

I deserve to feel pain

so i can

offer pain

in return.

An eye for an eye,

a tooth for a tooth,

a lock of my hair,

the nail off my toes,

the blood from my veins,

my soul or my brain,

take whatever you want from me

for I have already preyed

on yours,

and I am

truly

sorry.

Too much to put on you…

to replace my “i”s with “you”s,

my “me”s with “we”s

so,

I am the evil incarnate.

Pity the fool that is me.

hard to say what i gained from being raised in a christian household, but goddamn can i spot a biblical allusion when i see one

[nums-bird]

Original sin??Forgiveness of sin???Gurl,Focalor and Neuvillete are literally just Jesus.Here me out:

Focalor died for the sins committed by her predecessors and for the sins of the people of Fontaine thus counteracting a prophecy

Jesus died for the sins committed by the people of Israel and to complete the will of God and His ancestors

Neuvillete forgave the people of Fontaine of their original sin

Jesus forgave the people of Israel of their sins

"Adam" (12-29-24) [supposed to be about the Adam & Eve Genesis narrative if that's not painfully obvious lmao] <made with this>

"I remember wind in my nose The garden  The tree The tiger, bird, and butterfly We were happy, special, new, and  His She whispered to eat And we ate together Dad was like a storm Go He roared from the sky Leave I cried The sky is different here  I have a birthday And a baby and a child My name is dad If family eats from the tree  like candy With a gentle hand I will do something helpful & good Never answer with His wild roar And understand And understand.”

Gethsemane

⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩

Type: Allegorical Poem

Potential Trigger Warnings: religious themes, mortality, guilt, implied suicide (specifically hanging), mention of blades and knives

⋆｡°✩⋆｡°✩

I am but a humble lamb, 

Who grazes and bleats-

Suffering in poverty all his life

Until he was taken underneath 

The shepherd’s arm, into his care,

Sheltered under the shadow of his cane. 

He led us, one night, to the garden, Gethsemane, 

Where abundant bunches of olives hang. 

I am but a lamb who wanted to live, 

Weak in nature so I bore a blade-

But with a shepherd so selfless, though utterly forlorn, 

I slept soundly under the olive tree’s shade. 

I am but a desirous lamb, 

Who craves the nourishment he had been deprived. 

I’ve tried to remain loyal in the short life I’ve lived, 

But the pains of my stomach cannot lie.  

It howled my name, rang through my ears-

The very thing I yearned just out of my grasp,

For what I had was not enough. 

I was blinded by the fantasy that I’d be free from this hunger-

That I’d eat my fill at last. 

I only realized what I had done when he was ripped from Gethsemane,

Condemned to carry the wood of the trees He adored. 

Was this worth the grain and fulfillment I received?

IS THIS REALLY WHAT I GET FOR WANTING MORE?..

I was only but a humble lamb, never to be placed above him, 

But my bleats of revelation cost his life.

By those simple words, I’ve gone from the sacrifice on the altar

To the slaughterer holding the knife. 

On that fateful night, in dear Gethsemane, 

No longer innocent from the blood that rained-

Bursting at the seams with remorse, I hung with the olives

On the tree’s branches, under the shade.

illusions with an “i”

Oh Lord, do blot out my rebellion!

Validity of life itself aside,

Ever teaching me wisdom deep within.

Reckless schemes of flight will all soon subside.

Spirit of the Tiger snarls within me.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright in dark times.

Indeed, the one who made the Lamb did make me;

Mortal hands can’t frame my loveliest crimes.

Unless, when life is o’er, away I’ll fly

Letting lie the chains that chafe me today.

A place on God’s celestial shore I’ll spy.

Then, I just might fully for my sins pay.

Embodiment of knowledge is a farce.

Didn’t you hear the sum is just the parts?

Guys. The amount of biblical reference and allegory in GO is astounding. It’s especially prevalent in S2 though. Literal the entirety of our intro to Jimbriel is biblical allegory. He was naked and Aziraphale clothiers him. He was without shelter and Aziraphale housed him. He was hungry and Aziraphale fed him. This is the whole “for you may entertain angels unawares” thing. And also the whole “how you treat refugees is how you treat me” thing. It’s all one giant biblical reference.

Why didn't anyone tell me this is a play on a bible quote? First time I regret being raised by atheists.

Can't believe some gay ass show got me reading the bible.

are u even transgender if there isn’t some holy text or myth that you cling most desperately to
