“i don’t know what's scarier: the fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart, or that sometimes, i just wanna let ’em.”

hitoya’s the kind of drunk that does stupid shit when he hits his threshold, like feeling upstaged by jakurai playing piano so he plays drums with tableware lmao but he also has no recollection of getting that faded, like that one time he apparently woke up in a ditch and covered in mud after a night out but deadass didn’t remember how he got there so by all means, he and jakurai are the exact same drunk, it’s just that jakurai has a shit threshold so he gets drunk faster than hitoya but if hitoya were to ever get shitfaced first and jakurai somehow drank something shortly after hitoya hit that point i’m pretty sure whatever city they’re drinking will simply cease to exist due to their combined forces of—

in the beginning, God created heaven and earth. Then He said, let there be the most fuckbastardly silly scrunker to ever grace the earth, and they shall inherit my creation.

do you ever think about how aziraphale fell in love with crowley because of his love for the earth; and crowley falls in love with the earth because of his love for aziraphale?

i think about it often actually.

you know i must have been bone-tired when this part of the herb brides lore didn't come to my mind when i discussed how the Kin fundamentally differs from the cultures it is inspired by um There Is The Human Sacrifice part. like it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you are doing human, or anthropomorphic (if you want to see the Herb Brides as closer to spirits, which comes with its own set of problematics regarding how to approach their oppression) sacrifice. it's an important part of pathologic 2 that you kill a woman, as part of the journey and in direct resonance with you ritualistically killing cattle earlier, and she offers herself to you with cultural and religious significance.

human sacrifices have been done across the globe for millennia, but i cannot, for the life of me, find any source at all that mentions the Buryats (since that was the discussion point) partaking in human sacrifices by the turn of the 19th-early 20th century (or even anything past the 16th). every single source mentioning offerings and sacrifices i've read mentions animals, things such as milk and vodka, and often both at once. would love to read anything about these rituals if papers exist, but i'm personally drawing a blank.

the Kin has Obvious and very Visible influences but it also differs from specific (in this discussion's case, the Buryats) or wider (here, turkic/mongolic as a whole) cultures from the area by so many pieces, big and small, that i wouldn't have enough appendages on my whole body to count them all. and sister. i have plenty of appendages.

"And Tanith descended through the storm as a bright and shining star, and all around him the roiling clouds calmed and parted, and for the first time the light of the heavens shone upon the waves below.”

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  Genesis 1:1 (ESV)

(via Verse of the Day - Genesis 1:1)

[miwwk]

Isaiah 11:6, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."

Isaiah 11:7-9, "The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea"

Isaiah 65:25, "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."

In The Beginning

25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth and made the heavens with your hands.

26 They will perish, but you remain forever; they will wear out like old clothing. You will change them like a garment and discard them.

27 But you are always the same; you will live forever. — Psalm 102:25 | New Living Translation (NLT) Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

Gabriel and Aziraphale are currently my little guys and they are both so misunderstood. I was prepared for this with Gabriel but some Aziraphale girlies have never had a problematic fave before and it shows.

The Creation of the Earth

Religion started with belief initially but gradually became facts when Science started revealing its truth. Every religion has its own concept of the creation of the Universe. According to Quran Allah created the Heavens and the Earth and whatever is in it in 6 different periods (7:54, 2:29 etc. and many other verses). Only Allah knows the length of each period.

He created the Earth in the first two stages and the Quran further states that "In the next two periods He made the earth a resting place for you (78:6, 2:22 etc.) and as a container of living and dead (77:25-26) and set in it pathways for you so that you may find your way (43:9-13) and He blessed the Earth and determined therein the sustenance for its creatures, completing all in four days with no distinction. This is for the information to those who ask. [41:10]
