FROM CHILDREN TO FAMILY MEMBERS

British comedian and atheist Jimmy Carr asks a good question and, since you might be asking the same thing, I appreciate the opportunity to answer, . First of all, as a follower of Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is the Son of God), I believe God created every person who ever was, is and will be. So yes, we are His children. But there’s a difference between being His children and…

Thinking of what it must be like to be loved by a ship like the Perihelion. I think it must be a little like being loved by a god. A minor god and one with true personality, a god from a pantheon, with limited power and no claims to be all-knowing, all-powerful, all-loving, no claims of being the One True God. And yet, a god. Its mind so powerful it can be present with you and yet in a hundred other places simultaneously, it holds you safe inside of it - or not (as Mother Nature holds us safe on Earth - or not). It can rain destruction when angered or help you if it wishes. Inside of its realm (itself), within its dominion, it sees all, controls all (not other people, but the very ground you walk on, the air you breathe). Outside of it, it can help you if it sees what is happening, but is not in control of everything. If you are within its reach, it is there, present with you always, a voice in your head, a friend (because this god spaceship loves you).

#I don't believe in any gods #but in writing this #I may have come as close as I ever have #to understanding what christians feel when they talk about their personal relationship with god/jesus #i guess at least if you put it like this i can understand the charm #somewhat #anyways #I also have thoughts about what it might be like to be loved by a dragon #in any story where they too are powerful beings beyond mere men #i guess it comes down to that 'powerful beyond mere mortals' sort of quality #the murderbot diaries #martha wells #murderbot

as part of the getting-worse-before-it-gets-better portion of aziraphale and crowley's season 3 relationship arc we NEED a desperate "i love you" from aziraphale met with a hissed, spiteful, and quickly regretted "i forgive you" from crowley

#good omens #ineffable divorce #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #i really want things to get as bad as they can possibly get before their relationship #is saved and actualized if you couldn't tell.#like yes i want them to make up and have a big fabulous kiss together sheltered under a canopy in the rain #and then spend the rest of their eternity together on earth in blissful love #but i also want them to be really unstable for a bit #spiteful crowley. aziraphale blurting out a confession no buildup no apology #because he thinks that'll fix everything.#more miscommunication to give more weight to their final climactic episode where they actually work things out.#crowley has to give him a lift and they start arguing and he blasts queen in the bentley #and takes them careening down oxford street at 120 miles per hour #grinning and laughing manically while aziraphale screams and hangs onto the baby basket he's holding #containing the second coming of jesus for dear life.#crowley just terrifying him to spite him.#i want them to do and say fucked up things to each other! do you get it?

Jesus is my older brother, not my dad.

other christians don't seem to feel the same?

am i missing something where he insists on such a thing except perhaps with actual little children?

#christianity #tumblrstake #Quakers #i just want to know what y'all think #progressive christianity #some christians see themselves as his children #but again most chrsitians are sippin trinity juice so the Father is the Son? egro Jesus can be Dad #i guess i'm not a true monotheist bc if Jesus is a child of God and told his disciples to call him friend. he is my peer #Jesus is my peer - big brother - mentor - friend #God the creator is my Mother/Father/Parent(s) as well as Jesus'#Jesus and I are both children of God and Jesus is my teacher/my respected older brother/ my friend #i think the Holy Spirit is what generally moves around among humans and through humans. experiencing God through others.#also an internal prompting on what direction to take (which typically needs to undergo through discernment) but is sometimes an act rn thing #hence the gift of the Holy Spirit being gifted to us #but now i'm getting theological in the tags #did i mention that all of this is through my christian lense and a muslim could have a different perception and be just as valid #and thats on different ways people see the Divine and how the Divine presents Godself/selves to different people #i know this because Heavenly Mother was at my conversion experience. she offered an invitation - an embrace #and i took it immediately a wept #and i think that presentation was intentional bc i may not have/wouldn't have reacted the same way to Heavenly Father #our relationship is good now - Heavenly Father and I -currently on the rocks in my “ God #in my “God - why?” era. shit has been dark. and people are commiting atrocites in your name #i do pray for their smitting. but only in a way God with Hir cosmic justice sees fit #and for softened hearts more often but on one occassion it was “plz get these sinners in line” and pulling out psalm 94 #Godposting #religion

transfem loop + siffrin... you agree

i does agree.... i does in fact ... write a 7k word essay on the subject..... if you would like to perhaps click that link and read it if you were not already aware...... kisses u on the forehead......... sorry its that long but i had to cover all of my bases you know how it is with textual analysis when you're trying to draw a distinction between "headcanon" and "reading of the text" because those are different things.... to meeeeeeee.......

#a headcanon is when i say shit like loop has feetie pyjamas.#a reading of the text is when i go jesus christ dude im not sure someone that repressed has a particularly great grasp on their ideal Self #lucabytetalks #isat spoilers #back on the homestuck tangent sometimes i think about how ppl picked up on the trans coding of roxy but were so set in their ways that #they thought it mustve been in the past and not a potential future... and then got real mad about a character being like.#complexly transmasc with a nuianced relationship to gender and not Easily Brushed Off Before The Narrative Begins Binary Trans Woman #one of the few times i think ive seen it be That way around? but i think it comes down to that whole. visible transgenderism happening #during the plot vs Invisible transgenderism that shh its okay you dont have to actually think about you can just say for brownie points #BUT MAYHAPS THAT IS MEAN. mayhaps that is mean. but i know what i saw back in the day.#sighs homestuck tangent over anyway uhhh yeah hold on isat fans ill throw you a new bone instead of getting off topic uhhh #isabeau seems like such a pragmatic planner to me i think theyve got contingency plans for whatever family they want to have in future #logical nerd with his transition timeline planned out and it includes a flowchart with an 'IF partner has X then i need Y to have a kid'#shrodingers op isabeau . guy with a gender spreadsheet and punnet squares. i think it being that methodical is funny #it also speaks to his occasional hesitance but thats too dark of a read i think im not going to stake anything serious on that #i have thoughts on isa but they're more obviously aligned with what he literally says with his words in-game. not really much worth #elaborating on besides poking at how his insecurities and appeasement to others might inform his literal decisions #i have maybe a few bullet points in my head for him. not 7k words

So guess who finally watched JJK

#I went from watching Dungeon Meshi earlier this month to watching JJK and I haven’t watched a shounen in literal years so #I can found dead in a ditch after being beaten bloody and raw holy shit #I like knew it would but dark but like Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker I was not expecting that #I still need to read the manga but like damn I need a moment after that #so far I can say JJK is in fact worth the hype and has consumed my soul #Yuuji Itadori my absolute beloved I love you so much I would die for you with zero hesitation #he’s my favorite character and I only want good things for him so so badly and I also want to torture him #I have a deep love hate relationship with Sukuna that kinda haunts me #Megumi is so funky I like him a lot #an absolute madman pretending to be the straight man in bits and no I will not be taking criticism on this opinion #kugisaki my girl you deserve more screen time please let her shine #nanamin you will also haunt me #I didn’t want to like Gojo I was like I am above simping for him and then I’m putting on the clown make up and THEN #They put him in a box just as I went goddamn it I am down bad for Gojo Satoru like COME ON #Anyway Suguru and his eye bags and depression and deeply rooted issues compelled me #Satosugu brain rot is in fact and real and can hurt me #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #shibuya arc #itadori yuuji #megumi fushiguro #nobara kugisaki #gojo satoru #geto suguru #nanami kento #satosugu #ryomen sukuna

It's so wild to me how I will open up to certain types of xtian about something I'm struggling with and they'll immediately be like "the world seems so nonsensical doesn't it" or "life feels empty and meaningless right" and then they are always surprised when I say that actually lots of things about the world make more sense to me now and I do find meaning and joy in my life. I'm just not good at socializing or making money ❤️

#can jesus help me make bank?#you can literally be like 'religion was bad for My brain personally' and they're all 'it's not a religion it's a ~relationship'#okay! so let me explain a different way #the relationship was a toxic one #can we be so real if the average guy did any of the things i believed god was doing even the most conservative relative would have qualms #although maybe not! people do seem to be fine with guys doing just whatever

i rmr when all the initial meta around endgame was coming out people were talking about steve being depressed and whatnot and it's like well yeah but he's BEEN depressed, like he woke up alone in this century and he kept going, now i can understand it being worse this time after finding a family and getting bucky back and losing them all except of course that's not why endgame steve was on about so like......the people writing meta were trying to connect these things that of course weren't really there on screen because that simply wasn't our steve

but i think it really could've been SO interesting to see this is the thing that finally makes steve stay down like he's lost so much and he just CAN'T keep fighting like i get some people think that's what they were going for but considering the ending......it's really not. and so i'm just thinking about a version after iw, maybe he gets some of the thor treatment except not turning his depression into a dumb fatphobic joke lol and maybe nat and others are trying to get through to him and it just doesn't work and then we get some flashbacks (which you could have done for all the original avengers actually which would be particularly important for bruce and nat and clint who did not have their own trilogies) including his mom telling him "you always stand up" and THAT being the thing to finally get him moving like it would've been such a perfect way to finally show sarah rogers some respect and ACTUALLY show steve really struggling instead of whatever they tried to do with him in that movie

#steve rogers #mcu #anti endgame #why am i still rewriting this movie five years later #really though i think i rmr just trying to work through it all #and a lot of the meta i was reblogging initially still wasn't really accurate to endgame or the rest of the mcu #like they were still making steggy more important than it canonically was while trying to explain why it was a bad ending #and it's kind of like you can say steve would respect that peggy had a life and wouldn't interfere with it but that's about it like #going on about how he DID love her so much and just wouldn't be selfish enough to do those things #or that she was soooo important to his moral compass (hence why so many fic writers had her telling him to go back to bucky lol insanity)#are just not accurate lmao i do think much as she may be rightfully disliked #while canonically he did not LOVE her he did respect her even if we think that's annoying bc she's an asshole to him in catfa #but yeah no he had a moral compass before her i understand what people were going for with the compass being symbolic but like....#any time she said anything did he listen? except for maybe when she told him he was meant for more? it really doesn't seem like it #nor did he need it! jesus! the whole point of catfa is he was chosen for a REASON he was already a good man #he did not need peggy 'sure i'll let nazis into shield' carter to teach him shit #but yeah it was bc i followed one stucky blog at the time who was reblogging a lot of good shit but a lot of that nonsensical shit too #and i was just reblogging it all bc everything sounded better than endgame #and i really did start seeing more of the discussions around peggy where her culpability in catws hadn't even occurred to me #bc i was so in fic from the beginning of joining fandom that not only was their relationship made as impt as stucky #it was also made out like what happened to shield was hurting her legacy and it's like...but she had to have at least SOME responsibility #and yeah eventually it's like okay no it's not just that steve wouldn't Do That it's also that they would've been a terrible couple #and not only would he not be so selfish but he wouldn't give up everything for HER lmao but he would've for bucky as was shown over and ove

GOD, BONE CANCER AND BEAUTY

As you read the meme above, are you nodding your head in agreement? It wouldn’t surprise me in the least. We all know that this world is awash in beauty and pain, love and grief, anger and joy. The question that occurs to me is: why does British actor/writer/narrator/director/atheist Stephen Fry somehow conclude that this world’s enormous contrasts deny the existence of a creator? And does it…

Mirrored Heavens

conclusion to a high fantasy trilogy set in a world inspired by pre-colonial america

Serapio, the newly crowned Carrion King, rules Tova, and tries to keep his power as enemies try to destroy him

Xiala is back among her people on the island of Teek - tries to learn about her newfound powers, and survive the violent occupation of her people

Naranpa is on a journey to control her Sun God powers to save Tova, while Iktan searches for her

#mirrored heavens #between earth and sky #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #ok i cant entirely remember what happened last book but this is…….I mean it continued/ended the story!#I enjoyed reading it. such a rich world. I like a lot of the characters. I maybe didn’t feel blown away?#it feels mostly focused on developing more bits of worldbuilding; backstories; character relationships (Which it does well!)#the actual politic/gods/war/plot stuff felt anticlimactic in the end and a lot was unresolved #Definitely the most interesting part to me was Xiala finally having space to herself and finding out more about Teek #and her people. I would read a whole book about her hanging out with sea creatures #Nara and iktan are cute. I like them.#jesus what a death count #can i admit i don’t super care about serapio and xiala…..like it’s enjoyable surface level but that’s it #like I did enjoy it overall i would still recommend the series! I'm just not Obsessed yknow #i do kinda agree with some of the bad reviews tho. lol. like I’m not strongly invested enough to have definitive opinions but

I've seen enough poly stuff in my lifetime. Y'all can stop now.

#God #Jesus christ #Is it that hard to devote yourself to one person #Poly stuff is so gross to me #That's not a relationship #You just have fuck buddies #How is it any different than fuck buddies #If you admit that you're willing to be with someone else then you're not in a relationship at all lmao #If you can sleep with whoever you want then that's no different than not being in a relationship #Crucify me if you want but those are my thoughts #If it makes anyone feel any better though #This specific post is inspired by fictional characters rather than real people #I still feel the same regardless #But like lmao

i don't even really care about the possibility of never hearing from kevin again im mostly just mad about 250. like i never got the sense of loss from losing kevin i mainly got that from lauren. also the shock of that stupid ass abuse dialogue. but like. if we get an episode of kevin by himself without one of his partners (lauren / charles & donovan / cecil & carlos) then what's even the point.

#sorry i keep making people mad about 250 again dhhdjdjjdh but like. jesus #i. look.#if we still got the shitty abuse monologue BUT lauren stayed with kevin. it would've still been a better episode.#because there's more layers there ESPECIALLY about abuse even. bc lauren and kevins relationship? absolutely not healthy. absolutely abusiv #e.#but it could've been a better-made commentary on abuse if she had stayed.#the abuse of kevin by his father. the abuse of him and lauren by strexcorp. the abuse they give to each other BECAUSE of their pasts.#ESPECIALLY IF CHARLES AND DONOVAN WERE THERE OR AT LEAST MENTIONED.#like. we have the struggles of kevin trying to adapt to donovan while lauren is back and making things difficult by bringing up Kevin's #daddy issues. not to MENTION the manipulation lauren likely got from the smiling god.#i. god. i could go on for ages i need to write an essay on this or smthm.#sorry i took an Adderall and now i can talk forever lmao #i. should rewrite the kevin and lauren arc. maybe we can make a rewritober or something and all rewrite a scene from that arc #that. might be fun actually hdgdjdhdk #wtnv spoilers #lauren mallard #babygirl you could've been so good...#kevin wtnv
