sin eater
#sorry its been a minute!!! the horrors. you understand.#anyways yall ready for another gloom tag essay because here we go!!!#im constantly thinking about the ramifications of uzi literally eating cyn and her now being apart of her.#specifically how it impacts uzi mentally. like dgmw i LOVE the silly cyntail shenanigans in fanart (ive also contributed to this) however#when i really think about it in relation to uzi's arc i go crazy insane#uzi is a character who is grasping for control after a lifetime of not having it.#she has no control over how her peers treat her. she has no control over khan neglecting her for reasons that arent her fault.#she quite literally has no control over the solver taking her over and making her do monstrous things against her will#which solidifies her feelings of being a freak monster who everyone was right to outcast and mistreat.#because im Unwell i interpret her calling herself god as a way to convince herself of having control- and to lock away feelings of impurity#if anyone is in control- if anyone is loved and cherished despite any and all wrong doings- its a god.#and that all comes to a head when she eats the heart of cyn thereby destroying the AS- a literal manifestation of a corrupted god- for good#finally taking back control from the entity that had been terrorizing and traumatizing both her and her loved ones. but did she really?#cyn is apart of her now. powerless sure- but that doesnt take away the horrors she wrought previously#and even so- has uzi ever stopped being just a host? do you think shes terrified of cyn regaining power out of the blue?#do you think uzi ever stops feeling like a monster?#“sin eating” was a thing that happened where someone would consume ritual foods to take on the sins of a recently deceased person#thus absolving said deceased person of any sins and putting them onto the sin eater. being a sin eater ensured eternal damnation.#and i just think about that a lot. when applying that (symbolically ofc(somewhat literally. she very much is a cyn eater)) to what uzi did.#“gloom you're reading way too much into this” THE LITTLE GOTH ROBOT. MAKES ME INSANE IN THE HEAD. OK!!!!!#gloom.art#murder drones#murder drones fanart#murder drones uzi#uzi murder drones#uzi doorman#uzi md#md uzi#uzi fanart

i still find it so darkly and ironically funny that my "mother" who i will be referring to as my former landlord from here on out always talked about how badly she wanted to be a mother growing up, and then proceeded to fumble the bag so badly that I've straight-up full-on disowned her. lmao. how do you fuck it up that badly. genuinely funny to me I'm not even joking
#byrd chirps#byrd is an exmo#byrd's business#THE FUNNIEST PART TO ME IS THAT SHE WAS DOING WELL ENOUGH#UP TO THE MOMENT THAT I BECAME SOMEONE SHE COULDN'T TOLERATE#AND WHAT WAS MY GREAT SIN? WHAT DID I DO THAT WAS SO ATROCIOUS?#I TRANSED MY GENDER AND LEFT THE CULT WE WERE IN#UNCONDITIONAL LOVE MY FUCKING ASS#literally like. girl how do you manage to convince yourself that you love your child unconditionally when the conditions are right there#you set the conditions! and yet you don't believe they exist!

ngl, mentioning one of my hyperfixations does not necessarily activate my trap card. mentioning a book or media that I LOATHED, on the other hand,
#dieselpunkd informed me she also hated station eleven and OHHHHH MY GOD#station eleven book 🤝 annihlation movie: critically acclaimed stories that FUCKING SUCK ASS#I only do not have opinions on station eleven show cuz I refused to even look at tumblr gifs of it. I loathed the book that much.#'omg this book is so preSCIENT!!1!1!' it literally was NOT#and it was also just. bad. it was badly written.#it felt like it did not actually believe that a reader would take its premise and stakes seriously#which severely undercut my ability as a reader to take them seriously! like bruh you gotta believe in yourself!#stop using hollow sensationalism and obfuscation to convince me that your stakes are high! just tell me how it is and let me believe it!#too many people write for cinemasins dumbasses and that is the HIGHEST cinema sin of all actually#like if you don't believe in your own premise why the fuck should I.

Hmm methinks that only telling people "that's a sin, repent and believe in Christ" is the opposite of helpful
I think how it's worded is important too, but that's not the point of the post
#was told my fatima ladies abd gentlemen post was idolatry and that i needed to repent#and i know my post wasnt sinful so like thats not my problem#it just really made me think about how we (christians in general not just catholics) engage with others online#because who does that line work on really?#certainly not someone who genuinely believes what theyre doing isnt wrong#because why?#how is that convincing?#i dont think telling people to repent is wrong obviously#but the way we do it matters#its just more proof that evangelization without love or 'empty evangelism' does more harm than good#there needs to be connection and love and mercy#not out of the blue soulless commands#idk man#whenever i imagine Jesus sitting at the sinners table#i see love#communication#reaching out and showing people God#i HIGHLY doubt he just sat down#said 'stop sinning and repent'#then idk grabbed a chicken leg or something and bounced#and neither should we#ok im done ranting bye c:

Ianto in this? And maybe Tosh in a tux to play on Dinner and a Show?
Would love to know what undercover mission requires this get-up and how Ianto drew the short straw
(Owen isn't pictured as he immediately laughed himself sick upon seeing Ianto and had to be sent for a lie down)
#torchwood#ianto jones#jack harkness#janto#currently listening to an audio drama where jack somehow convinces ianto and gwen to go undercover and RETAIL WORKERS#could not pay me enough to return to retail now that i have a career outside of retail#a dress is small cookies compared to that#still ianto is usually in a 3piece suit covered from wrist to ankle i have a hard time seeing him loving this arrangement x3#at least in a work setting#anyway now everyone gets another reminder that i Can Not Draw Dresses sorry if you were hoping for better... dresses are my archenemy#well at least this style of dresses i can do a bit better with full skirts where i can at least attempt to hide my sins#but i had to really quickly pivot from what i was drawing to knock this out because i LAUGHED#gwen cooper#toshiko sato#my art#will draw tosh in a suit later because 👀 yes. i care about that a normal amount.

So.
Hypothetically.
If I did write that uh. 'Rekindling' thing.
Would it make sense for it to be just Enji/Rei or should we have Midnight leading/supervising?
#like the original premise was in Bewitching Hour but I want them to get to that point before the photoshoot ya know?#like if they weren't already hooking up again they wouldn't do the shoot#shadow it's me the devil I'm here to convince you to do sin

i wish i could be a succubus but instead i try to convince people to indulge in gluttony instead of lust. yes boy... consumee the 12 pack of iced sugar cookies from publix boy... hey boy i made you cheesecake and icecream... heres how you make some banging good potatoes and carrots in the oven easily boy... put some yummy steak on the grill... drink soda and play minecraft with me boy...
#rambles#i am saying this because i feel like it'd be super fun for people to portray like. demons who convince you to do sin as a whole for other#vices.#Like homie. Yeah murder and lust is 'bad' but like. lets get some nuance#maybe it's just me but i would not give my soul away to a demon who rises out of my floorboards like 'wanna fuck' or 'wanna kill'#homie just needs to rise out in sweatpants and a hoodie and ask 'you wanna go get a burger from burgerking' and my soul is GONE#and i will bestow this gift upon others fuck you (also i just like making food)

Looking forward to the new chapter of UtB! Also I learn a lot hearing your thoughts on fandom culture, and I was wondering why you think puritanism is getting stronger? Lately I’ve experienced it a lot both online and irl.
Hi anon,
I could write like a 10,000 word essay on why I think moral puritanism is getting stronger in the world, and how that intersects with increased moral panic, and 'anti' or fancop behaviour among fandom.
But I think there's more than one reason, and that at the centre of it, is the radicalisation of political extremes alongside the disdain for human life and education in the USA specifically. In non English-speaking cultures, antis are often considered a uniquely American phenomenon, for example. (They're not, but I do think some of the problems start there).
And from there it's necessary to look at:
The high presence of evangelist religion and their millions in USA politics in particular, and the influence this has on the news and government systems from the top down, affecting legislation, what we see on the media, what gets censored, who gets impacted (SESTA/FOSTA etc.) and so on. When companies like Paypal or similar say they won't support certain sites because they don't support sex workers or explicit artwork, we see extremist perspectives being normalised into the mainstream. Puritanism becomes baked into the system, and accepted as normal. And it has a domino effect, taking one thing away usually means to another thing being taken away, and by 'one thing' I usually mean like... equality, access to basic human rights, and more.
The presence of certain billionaire TERFs in UK politics actively working to destroy legislation over there gives a platform to hateful, bigoted extremists of all kinds, including Nazis (as seen in Australia recently, during a TERF event where Nazis turned up in open support). Also, I'd like to add that a lot of anti/fancop thinking is generally SWERF, anti-kink and eventually TERF in nature, and often homophobic and transphobic even when it's perpetuated by queer folk.
A long-term attack (we're talking over several decades now) on education (especially the humanities and any area that teaches critical thinking) including gutting the funding to libraries, colleges, high schools, primary schools and not increasing the pay of teachers, decreasing the general intelligence of US citizens in IQ tests across multiple metrics (except spatial reasoning). This, combined with the lack of emphasis on teaching nuance and critical thinking, means you get people primed to make didactic, black-or-white decisions and often are prone to radicalisation and black-or-white thinking. There's an increasing lack of ability to understand complex or even reasonably moderately complex thinking tasks. A great example of this was re: anti-vaxxers who said 'if masking works so well, why do you need vaccines' because there was a complete inability to understand that just because something works well, doesn't mean it works 100% of the time. There was a consistent inability too, to grok things like the swiss cheese model. That's not the only reason people are anti-vaxxers and there are some extremely smart people who are anti-vaxxers, but among broader populations, a lack of basic appreciation of nuance and risk mitigation in health was a huge issue. (And it's fairly easy to see this happening in many fandom discussions when we discuss how racism in fiction is generally not great, but that rape in fiction does not cause rape in reality.)
I know the above paragraph is long and unwieldy but it doesn't actually come close to capturing a lot of my thoughts on this so slafkjdsa it'll have to do though. The tl;dr is 'the government said philosophy and critical thinking isn't worth money, so a lot of people don't know how to do it, and anyone who can do it is often attacked or viewed with suspicion' (see also: The increasing suspicion and hostility towards experts in their field x.x). (Oh see also: A lot of people thinking YouTube videos count as 'valid research' for their viewpoints, and a lot of folks just...not ever learning how to research in general).
Something something social media privileging inflammatory and provocative takes as well as clickbait etc. encouraging people to often say things in the worst or least nuanced way possible.
The systemic attacks on democratic processes in the USA (and the UK and Australia and many other places).
The loudest and most obnoxious voices are often the people saying the stupidest shit. As in: It will feel like puritans are everywhere (and there's definitely more of them), but they're also just louder and getting more attention than they used to. It's misleading. Anti-vaxxers are actually a tiny minority for example, and antis are a minority in fandom, they're just...the loudest and the most willing to try and murder real people to defend the rights of fictional characters.
Er so. That's some of it anyway. There's more, absolutely, because I could talk about the presence of puritanism in a lot of levels of our experience/s, whether you're religious or not.
It's frustrating writing about this because I fall into the same trap of knowing that I can't talk about this in as nuanced a way as I want to, even if I get to do it in 1000 words instead of like, a miserable amount of characters on Twitter. Anyone thinking 'but it's not always like that!' or 'but not in every situation!' like trust me, I know. But if I sat here caveating everything that deserves a good caveat this post would blow out even more.
Basically if you try to stop educating your people as much, don't teach them how to research, debate or learn (yes, you have to learn how to learn), and don't give them access to basic needs, and gut your democracy/s, and the people at the top believe a fictional being cares if they're virgins or not or have abortions or not, and you don't care if people commit genocide against the children of your nation because that's not as important as the right to kill them in a moment of anger..., and you create a world where the children of your nation are primed to develop PTSD due to the fear of being gunned down while learning, you create a really great environment for radicalisation, extremism, the safety and comfort of puritanism (i.e. following very strict rules in the hope of fixing what's wrong with the world) while people look for a solution to why they feel so empty and hopeless in their lives.
#asks and answers#look don't listen to me#i just have thoughts about this stuff#and i could talk about it for a long time#a long long time#also a lot of this is echoed and repeated in other countries too#Australia has been gutting its humanities departments in universities for a decade or more#and making education harder to access#the UK has JKR literally putting money into anti-trans legislation#you have extremely powerful (and sometimes very respected) people#saying very hateful things that put the lives of minorities in danger#and it gets quite normalised - debating the right to exist for example#when these things should have never been normalised at all#also my patience with people who believe in a religion that seeks out death and harm and supports intolerance to others#(including 'hate the sin love the sinner' which is bullshit#is very low do not even try to convince me fsdalkjfsa#this post is a mess have a nice day

— leviticus 20:13 on ao3
#i may or may not be working on a new typeset#saying no would be a lie. and lying is a sin.#like oh my god just take me out back and shoot me#what makes this extra ironic#but still when he wants to kiss tetsurou he cannot help but think of sin and trying to convince himself it's okay to ask for what he wants#by saying it would be a sin to lie and that's why it's okay#even tho he doesn't believe in god!!! even tho there's literally no one around that will smite him down or judge him or tell him off#he still impulsively rationalises his choices in terms of what is and isn't a sin#god it's just so painfully catholic#for the record i do not think like this anymore#and i did always think the concept of not sinning because it went against god was a bit ridiculous even as a child that didn't sit right w/#but this is still relatable#and i think all catholics and ex-catholics can relate to the impulse to always moralise our actions breaking out of the need to constantly#justify TO YOURSELF why you do what you do or want what you want#god it's so exhaustinggggg#anyways this is exhibit a million why this kei in particular hits me quite hard#tsukki <3#kurotsuki#haikyuu#also re my post a few days ago about the importance of tsukki being the one to confess first... prime example right here

I know that a lot of people are helped by someone saying something like "All humans deserve to make mistakes." or idk "You have a right to live, all humans do." but for me it just triggers my knee-jerk cult upbringing response and I go "Oh I'm not a human."
#like sorry it was just drilled into me that I'm inherently worse and alien and not a human being and that my existence is a burden#and a martyrium that will harm everybody including myself and help nobody and that my life has no chance of being happy ever#and that i bear all of mankind's sins and always will and as such I'm tainted.#so now i just do not see myself as a human at all. i used to be convinced that everybody could see that I'm not a human#but now i just have impostor syndrome. i feel like i have fooled everyone and must keep up the charade or it will get awkward

i like to think apoptosis tries to lie to tenshi but tenshi cares too much & has figured her out pretty well & can see through most of it. i dont have much to support this beyond the fact theyre clearly heavily tied together across their songs.
#actually if im doing any analysis here#the timeline i think is like.#the group decides to go thru with the sacrifice to see if that would 'absolve their sins'#potentially targets apoptosis first as. she doesnt seem to get along with anyone#she doesnt want that obviously so she goes to pin it on someone else#someone else just happens to be tenshi who REALLY does not want the role#the whole lying about doing it for her & then tenshis dont leave me alone could be like.#tenshi gets the role & apoptosis just walks free not really thinking of the consequences#of course then its already getting too late to change anything & tenshi tries to convince herself shes doing the right thing#that her death will matter and maybe at least get them more time or something if not fix the problem#but no!!! it does nothing!!!! & apoptosis has to face that fact!!! that since it wasnt her it was someone she#(refuses to admit she) cares about!!!!!!!#& she cant stand that & suddenly shes in meltdown mode & will do whatever to destroy herself#i dont think its guilt shes dealing with like i genuinely think shes too selfish to feel guilty#kanons the guilty one not apoptosis#apoptosis feels more like. she lost something important & if she cant have it(her) then she doesnt want anything at all#unfortunately as per da rulez her being selfish means she continues to live.#permanent torture of knowing the one solid thing she had she got rid of and will never ever get back#the girlies#thats my current take on the situation#but in general i think those two are closer than either of them will admit
