“My GF is the [Literal] Devil” launching soon! A little art today of my girls, as a treat, for me 😌

Set in a small New England town in the late 2000’s, Clara, pictured on the right, tries summoning a demon, which she thinks fails. The next day, however, a beautiful transfer student arrives at her school, and everything about this new girl seems too good and perfect to be true. Clara starts suspecting that something sinister might be lurking behind this New Girl Lucy’s perfect face. She might just be… the very demon that Clara tried summoning!!! Clara now has to contend with her growing feelings for Lucy, as well as being caught up in the battle between heaven vs hell…

Extremely niche comparison but the plot of The Locked Tomb is so similar to what a Mechanisms album about the bible would conceivably look like.

Reminder that the concept of hell is inherently problematic as it was literally invented so ppl (Christian ppl especially!) could abuse and control their congregations/ppl below them to do what they wanted and also so people like Dante could fantasize abt ppl they don’t like suffering for eternity ✌️It’s literally the most unserious piece of fiction ppl accepted as cosmic canon and the idea of being obsessed with hell, thinking it’s real, sounds incredibly miserable to me.

Real Hell enthusiasts create stories about fictional people suffering for eternity to explore hell’s themes and bring light to the human condition, not because they have a hate boner for those specific types of people, but bc concepts like morality, demons and the underworld are a fascinating avenue of storytelling.

People unironically obsessed with hell irl are fanatics and should not be treated seriously bc honestly grow up. It’s a book of parable and prose plus some guys uninspired hate-boner fan fiction where his literal Mary Sue wanders through hell feeling bad abt the eternal suffering of ppl he actually hates irl. It is not real and no matter how much you think someone is going to be tormented forever bc they’re gay or bc they don’t pray hard enough does Not mean it will happen. Loser behavior.

Also any story where you explore damnation is going to be inherently problematic if you’re using the seven deadly sins model so you just need to be aware and maybe even lean into the ridiculous unseriousness of it all. Use your version of hell as a social commentary on how these groups of people are mistreated or marginalized in life, or to highlight the struggles they go through. Or just make it a horrifying nightmare-scape, as a treat. It doesn’t hurt anybody to write fictional stories set in hell, as long as you don’t do so in a way where you’re openly condemning them and write them sympathetically it should be fine. Hazbin Hotel + Helluva Boss is a prime example of what NOT to do bc they do it hella poorly. It’s actually embarrassing.

TLDR: religious fanatics who obsess over people going to hell unironically are losers and if you try to write fiction abt hell without treating the issues in your story with tenacity and care, your writing will be just as bad as Vivziepop’s and honestly thats worse than hell :/

I really wish we knew more about Laufey in Norse myth

Because like

HOW DOES SHE FEEL ABOUT WHATS HAPPENING TO HER SON? WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

Like does she mourn him for what has been done? Scorn and pretend he doesnt exist because of what he will do?

WHAT DOES SHE FEEL?

The fact that Loki uses her name instead of Farbauti's interests the fuck out of me

you are pitting Jesus and Santa Claus against each other. I am acknowledging Santa as both a mythic symbol of Christ and a cultural legend based upon a real man whose faithfulness to Christ was used by God to grant common grace not just to the people of Myra but throughout the entire world. we are not the same.

20 for revelation! its design is soooo cool

20: Bonus question: share any additional thoughts, art, favourite scenes, anything you've been waiting for a chance to ramble about

This'll be an easy one because i got. Nothing. There hasn't been a single thought or piece of art about Revelation that i did not immediately post on this blog

random thought from right now: kinda wish i hadn't used biblical imagery for revelation because i dislike that shit truly* that being said the name is undeniably a slay

Romance was never my strong suit I fell like a fool down a flight of stairs And honey, my darling, my dear– There are plenty of flights of fancy For me to fall from this Tower of Babel There is no keen way for me to share this That upon the briefest of utterances Shared, again – and again Remarkable – How swiftly feelings of importance arise And how swiftly one falls Like the morning star – reluctant in hope of man I fall Like Icarus, scared of the coldness of the sea Fearful of the heat of the sun Disobedient to my mind, my man-made god To my fancy, I fall Not because I am above you But to humble myself Before you

the other thing about men 2022 dir garland is like the first rule is to never go to a remote village anywhere in England Wales or Scotland. this is lesson number one that any indigenous person of another country knows instantly upon setting food on that accursed isle. like WE KNOWWWW. I dont feel bad for you. you are the one who got a weird vibe on the outskirts of a village and kept pursuing it. YOU are the one who saw the freaky cauldron. like it is not my problem if someone cant feel theres some weird old powers in the forest. if you thought that man was a stalker that is on YOU!!! ma'am. EYE would have known that he is the green man because EYE would have gotten the vibe.

the thing that REALLY has me climbing the walls about ravenous is it’s use of the wendigo myth. like cannibalism is really explicitly about colonialism in this movie and the fact that the cannibal characters became cannibals in the first place because they heard the wendigo story from native characters. like ives and hart and boyd aren’t *literally* wendigos because even that concept is stolen property. they took the story and changed it to justify their own violent desires. you could say they cannibalized it, even.
