Someone please explain to me why I'm learning more about the christian mythos from the Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss fandoms than I ever did growing up in church. Did you guys know that Lucifer tried to fuck Adam? Did y'all know that? Because I sure as hell didn't! Shit, I thought it was made up but nope! It's real!

https://sacred-texts.com/bib/fbe/fbe087.htm

Right after Cain kills Abel Lucifer turns into a sexy woman, strolls up to Adam and tries to get in that poor mourning man's pants! Imagine that! Your oldest son just brutally murdered his younger brother then the devil slides up next to you and is like

"Heeeeeeeey, may I offer you some pussy in these trying times~?"

"...My kid just died..."

"All the more reason to take me up on this offer! You're young—plenty of stamina to make another! Come on, live a little~"

Why did they just decide to not teach this!? This feels like it would have made an excellent sermon on the dangers of temptation and how the devil tries to get you at your lowest moments. I know multiple Baptist preachers that could turn this into the sermon of a lifetime!

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.

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.

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

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. they cannibalized it, even.

I've got an impressive stack of books by my bed including (A) one about the sexualization of female characters in anime (B) one about virgin martyr saints, including commentary on how fucked up that is as a concept and, for a while, (C) one about the historical roots of yuri manga (god bless university libraries) and somehow the one I always feel compelled to hide from my roommate is my bible
