V, V, V — Day 23 : Gods

According to Miss Muriel Stacy, our basic character is defined by the time we are twenty years old.

That is not to say we don’t change after that — I have never met anyone who turns twenty and then remains the same for the rest of their life (that would be weird) — but Miss Stacy is right. For the most part the foundations of your life will be set by the time you leave your teenage years behind.

You will have a foundation of your political beliefs, your moral beliefs, what you think about your country, what you think about the world, your sexuality………..

And — of course — your religious views.

Now when Miss Stacy was making this statement, the religious views of those involved were almost all the same — they all believed the same thing.

However it is a hundred and twenty years later now, and the variety of religious views has increased a little. Maybe not amongst some communities, but in the UK, for example, the dominant religion is now apparently “none”. In the census two years ago, more people identified with having no religion than having any, and less than half identified as Christian (for the first time in a census).

So you are probably wondering why I’m telling you about all this.

Well partly it’s because I just finished watching “XO Kitty” and that had me entirely distracted so I haven’t entirely been concentrating on what I was writing, and I had to restart this three times (it was very well written and surprisingly entertaining).

But also because Miss Stacy, in my case, was right. I changed a lot when I was a kid, but for the most part most of my growing (mental, spiritual, political, moral etc) was done by the time I was seventeen/eighteen and it was almost all complete before I was twenty. Actually all of my physical growing was done by then as well, because that’s just how biology works, but that’s a different topic — one I am not going to go into.

I think the biggest change……. the second biggest change was the total and utter abandonment of the religious beliefs I was brought up in. There were any number of reasons for this — reasons I am not going to bore you with — but it was pretty much a huge change from how I was raised.

My political beliefs didn’t change much — I was raised in Thatcher’s Britain, so clearly I was always going to be on the left of politics. I’m not certain how anyone who was raised in a country run by that woman could ever be anything else.

But the change in my religious beliefs. It happened over time but eventually I just kind of packed it all in, and never really looked back.

Except for one thing — which is a perennial problem that I think quite a lot of people probably face.

“Oh dear god”, “oh god”, “god what is that” and so forth.

People use the word “god” a lot in exclamations, and the general implication is that it is the Judeo-Christian god of old (the one who smote the Egyptians and took down The Ten Commandments and so on and so forth). So the suggestion is that if you say “oh god what are you thinking?” or “good god that’s a lot of shake” then you might actually believe in the god whose name you are taking in vain (nth commandment aside).

So I have taken to adding an “s” to the word whenever I use it. Which, okay, could suggest that I don’t want to take his name in vain (because I do, in fact, believe in him) but for me means that I am exclaiming some level of frustration in the name of random unnamed gods.

Which gods? Well it all depends on what kind of day I am having and what is going through my head at that specific moment.

It could be the gods of the Greek pantheon (which I learned about from Xena), or from the Roman pantheon (which I learned about from Xena), or from the Centauri pantheon (which I learned about from Babylon 5……… I am starting to realise that I am SO a child of the digital era, because did I learn ANYTHING from books? No. Almost everything I learned I learned from TV. Which some people might think is truly appalling, but honestly — I would say if someone is learning then does it matter where they are learning it from? As long as they are learning actual facts and not total crap then what does it matter the source?)

It could be the Ancient Sumerian Gods (Ghostbusters) or Babylonian Gods (Ghostbusters again) or it could be some more…….. esoteric ones. It could be the gods of writing (JMS and Steven Moffat), the gods of musicals (ALW, Tim Rice, CHF), the gods of fiction (Arty, Hermione, Bev, Bella), the gods of the north (River, Willow, River, Aech) and so on. They might even be the council of The Good Place or the council of The Bad Place.

You get the general idea — almost anyone can be a god, providing they have god like powers of some type (and the powers can literally be anything). And — as you will have gathered — I am embracing the concept of using “god” as a generic collective noun. (I have contemplated switching to “goddess” but saying “oh dear goddess” tends to suggest it is single, and a specific goddess, and saying “oh dear goddesses” just sounds kind of odd. And although I am using “witch” to refer to wizards and witches, I haven’t yet moved to using “goddesses” to refer to gods and goddesses. Maybe next year).

The one thing you can be almost certain of is that “gods” does not include the Commandment giving, Egyptian smiting, Joseph punishing god of old.

Because I think I can do a little better than that.

overall toughts on the krakoa era so far now that's been almost two years since house/powers of x? honestly it was weird when i realized how long it had been since it feels like barely anything happened to me. also, what would be your ideal x-men status quo?

it drags sooo much ahdsfjnamksd. like xos was a waste of time and it was the first big event. there still feels like there’s no stakes....and i watch the xmen get murdered and cloned so often????? it’s almost annoying atp to just watch them die on every mission.

more name brand characters like scott, emma, kitty, and jean r still getting the shaft in terms of writing. like my god is it bad for them they’re being written horrendously. but i think dawn of x’s best moments are with its underutilized characters like synch and kwannon becoming breakout stars has been nice. i dont at this point look forward to reading my favorite characters, but i do look forward to seeing what kwannon is up to --and kwannon has quickly rose the ranks to become one of my faves. 

way of x, new mutants, and hellions are the most promising titles to me and the ones i enjoy most often i think. new mutants all bc vita ayala really revitalized the series and they do great work w the team. 

its also devoid of......a lot of what i associate with the xmen i think? it’s not a soap opera anymore. i miss that element. 

my fave xmen status quo is always gonna be scott and emma leading the school. it was a break away from xavier and scott and emma were so good at it. and i do like utopia but utopia was never built to last whereas something like the school is a constant for the xmen.

Hey guys!! I hope you’re doing well. I decided months after the concert, and years after my first, that it was time for me to make this post. When I was 8, I fell in love with the idea of falling in love. I became infatuated with the song, You Belong With Me, and I would sit with my younger brother for hours at his computer rewatching the music video. (The only reason I found the song in the first place was thanks to a talent show at my school where two girls sang it so hey thanks haha). Quickly, I think my parents could tell @taylorswift’s music brought a lot of joy into my life. Around that time was when my parents were starting to go through their divorce process. It was hard for my 3 siblings and I, as well as my mom. I didnt see my dad for months and I wasn’t sure if I ever would or wanted to again. But slowly, things got a little better piece by piece. For Christmas that year, I got (the infamous but not infamous) hello kitty boom box along with a fearless cd. From there was where my love truly sprouted. My mom would yell at me to turn down the boom box because it was always playing so loud. The year that the Fearless tour came around it was all I could talk about. But I knew, even from that young age, that we probably wouldn’t be able to afford to go, but I was wrong. One morning my mom told my brother and I we would be driving down to MA to see my aunt for her birthday. We drove past cars decorated in paint, but I had no idea why. See being only 9 I didn’t really have a good conception of what the date was or when the concert even was. We continued our drive, and drove past a car of teenage girls screaming about Justin Bieber holding a photo of them out their window (on the high way). My brother and I thought it was the funniest thing in the world but still had no idea. Pulling up to Gillette Stadium that day, I genuinely thought that we’d gotten lost. My mom started to get my brother and his wheelchair out of the car and I asked what we were doing. I believe I said something along the lines of-wait we aren’t going are we? And when she said we were I still couldn’t believe it and I screamed and cried. I kept asking and the entire night felt completely surreal. My mom was smart enough to have brought binoculars so we could see from our seats. It was truly amazing. My memories between fearless and speak now blur together. I think I remember starting to use TaylorSwift.com more to interact with other fans around this time. I also remember watching the Speak Now announcement livestream and being so excited. I got the album for my birthday in November, and I got concert tickets for Christmas. I remember they were in a shoe box and I was like oh cool shoes, but I opened it and the letter was inside and I sobbed. There’s probably a video somewhere but I don’t know where. I also made a poster for this tour back before there was a dimension limit. It was literally like a science poster board and it said “I want to be like you, you rock!” And I drew a 13 and arm lyrics on my arm. After the speak now era of things I had began middle school (it was around 5/6 grade). It was an especially hard time for me, I didn’t have a lot of friends anymore and since my class only had 33 kids it was hard to make new friends. Despite the cliqueyness of things, and my depression, I continued on. I remember the day that the RED album was announced so well. I had been waiting for weeks and couldn’t contain myself. At the time I had a mentor(kinda like a big sibling program) and I was to hang out with her. I had to explain to her how to get into YouTube and we almost missed the beginning but I was entranced by it. She kept urging me to get off the computer and that I could watch it later but I was so excited. The first song you played brought tears to my eyes. I remember the next year at school I got all folders colored red which was my moms idea and in hindsight made it super difficult to tell which had which stuff but it’s okay I got through it lol. The RED tour I also got tickets for during Christmas and again I was extremely excited. Wow this is getting super long but for the RED tour I spent hours making my poster (which you can see in the photo above). The security guard almost didn’t let me in but we promised not to hold it up and so she let it slide. We wore lights around our necks and I did around my hat and danced all night. At one point I saw Andrea on the jumbotron (did I mention this was my first time having floor seats ahhh). And my mom and I instantly had a game plan. When you came around the other side everyone would rush to be over there so we started walking the empty side and we ran into her. I yelled Hi Andrea! And the security tightened around her. She pushed through them and gave me the biggest hug. I handed her a letter and apologized for it being wet and she laughed and said it’s okay sweetie (wow I was so nervous and cute and 13 wow). I also took a photo with her and she was overall such a sweet person. (Thank you Andrea). For 1989 it was sort of the same shabang again. I watched the live stream in Cape Cod with my best friend and I cried. I couldn’t watch all of it because we had to leave to go somewhere but I was so excited. My first time watching the shake it off video I loved it but was also afraid of the shift in your music. Regardless I loved it and listened to it on repeat. I got tickets to the 1989 tour Christmas of my 8th grade year. This is where things really changed. I started using tumblr, and eventually came across @hellagoodfellas. She was surprised I actually live in VT and we clicked instantly. She introduced me to a new group chat of people who’d be seeing the 1989 concert at Gillette (hey I also met Scott this night he was so nice as well). We started with like 25 people and slowly it got smaller and smaller. We all have grown so incredibly close and I’m thankful to have those girls in my life to this day. We were actually able to meet at Gillette and we were awkward preteens but it’s okay it was still an amazing experience. The reputation era has brought so much empowerment into my life and without it I would be lost. I’ve been struggling a lot this year with my anxiety, I’ve always had it but being a senior in high school there’s just a lot of stress. When Rep came out the summer between my sophomore and junior years it was a god send. I danced and laughed and cried. I was finally started to be alive. Some of my best memories are just from this album and this era so thank you. I was lucky enough to go see 2 shows this year which is mind boggling. Both at Gillette (of course 😉) and I got to see my best friends both nights. Without being able to spend hours creating costumes and posters, or months spent listening to the music I don’t know who I’d be. No, you and your music doesn’t define who I am, but it has shaped me into the person I am today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me (and my mom she’s the real MVP for going to all of these concerts with me) a creative outlet and something to look forward to. For the beautiful works of art you’ve created, and to the future of many more memories to come. Much love, xo, @vermontswift
