[emelinstriker]

the result of the top 3 of the previous poll regarding which one of your champions is the most eye candy (minus wu and mac since i took them out for that one)

sadly no extra effect added on this batch cuz i forgor

[tealdoodles]

Continuing my "got sick and decided to endulge in 'what if a Reader was in @emelinstriker. ESAU' as a series.

First day I have more energy and I decide to start this… then passed out. This was supposed to just be the three champions worrying Reader drawing will interrupt the “get some rest” time. (But by golly did I need that nap. Waking up at 2 am and just wide awake till finally your body decides to rest, even if I woke up and felt like i nearly needed a chiropractor.)

After that much needed snooze I ended up putting way more details into this than I needed.

This Reader doesn’t mind the Champions cuddling her/lying next to her/some form of touch (it comforts her)

MK doodling some stuff (mention of another au if u squint)

Nezha and Red Son focusing on tea for that extra boost. Still gotta drink fluids and take those vitamins. Nibble on crackers…

The Faith of Many

1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

4 By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.

5 By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: ‘He could not be found, because God had taken him away.’ For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

7 By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that is in keeping with faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.

13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country – a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, ‘It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.’ 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau in regard to their future.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, and worshipped as he leaned on the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when his end was near, spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions concerning the burial of his bones.

23 By faith Moses’ parents hid him for three months after he was born, because they saw he was no ordinary child, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict.

24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25 He chose to be ill-treated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger; he persevered because he saw him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and the application of blood, so that the destroyer of the firstborn would not touch the firstborn of Israel.

29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched round them for seven days.

31 By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient.

32 And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning; they were sawn in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and ill-treated – 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.

39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. — Hebrews 11 | New International Version - UK (NIVUK) Holy Bible, New International Version® Anglicized, NIV® Copyright © 1979, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.® All rights reserved worldwide.

omg yes fghfnghfnghfg

he'd be so flustered too

@emelinstriker recent ESAU making me think of Reader (who celebrates Christmas) in the kitchen with Red Son making cookies and one moment Red turns to see how the Reader is doing only for them to be silly and poke his nose. When he blinks he sees frosting added to the tip of said nose.

[dragynkeep]

Would you like to talk about how you see Adam as a Jewish allegory?

considering how much violently antisemitic hate this concept got recently, hell yeah i would lmao!

there's a few minor / character related things for adam that i think relate to him as totally unintentional jewish allegory, & then some larger scheme aspects in regards to the faunus as a whole & some other jewish concepts that apply. again, this is all totally unintentional in the eyes of the writers as they themselves are also incredibly antisemitic, but i'm jewish so those goy can suck my dick.

red hair!

red hair, while incorrectly associated with irish people — we have phenotypically dark hair & light eyes — was also a marker for jewish people, especially ashkenazi jews. the stereotype seems to stem from all the way back in the talmud: where david & esau were referred to as "admoni", basically meaning redhead. by time it came to medieval europe & the spanish inquisition: red hair was a mark of jewish "otherness" & dishonesty / treachery. adam himself having red hair ties into these tropes, he's othered by society due to his faunus nature & is seen as the "traitor" in the narrative of others.

his name!

a lot of "western" / "christian" names are hebrew in nature, due to the violent colonization & oppression of jewish people. these names were anglecized / westernised to strip them of their roots, but they are hebrew all the same. adam itself not only refers to his red hair / the red earth, but to adam in the bible.

his faunus type!

aside from the faunus in particular just being really applicable to jewish oppression & survival in the midst of goyishe oppression: adam's specific faunus type can also allude to the golden calf. the sin of the calf, aka the worship of the golden calf idol when moses went up mount sinai, is an important part of the book of exodus.

the golden calf itself wasn't just a sign of insolence from the israelites following moses, but their fear & anxiety that he wouldn't return & they would once again be in danger. adam being tied to this bull & the narrative of the whole tale could very well tie into his own fear of ever being placed back into the horrors of slavery in the sdc & the violent oppression there: becoming his own calf idol in order to lead the white fang in a way that he sees fit to keep himself safe.

his colours!

adam himself is associated with the colours : red, black & blue. red obviously brings forth the very biblical concept of blood & wrath & rage: but i also like to really tie it to the lamb's blood put over the doorways of jewish homes when g-d's justice for us against the egyptian oppressors came at the loss of their first born sons. that blood, that sacrifice in the moment meant that we were kept safe while our oppressors suffered for their decisions, which tbh can be very applicable to adam.

blue is an interesting one in judaism because it's a holy colour for us, it's usually the colour on our tallit alongside black & white. it's also tied with jewish reclamation & hanukkah: a holiday centred around violence being used as liberation from a violent oppressor. the fact this colour is in adam's eyes could very well show that he sees the way that will need to be taken against the violent human oppressors in remnant.

his brand!

the way jews were borderline branded with the number tattoos in camps such as auschwitz is basic knowledge of the horrors surrounding the holocaust: adam being branded by the oppressive sdc company that exploits faunus labour while simultaneously dehumanizing them, brutalizing them & often being complicit in deaths under that exploitation — see: ilia's parents — very much parallels this in my eyes, though obviously not to the same horrific extent.

the fact that the schnees are a very german coded family & corporation does little to dissuade this comparison btw.

the faunus as a whole!

this one's a lot more generalizing to the entire faunus population which we completely acknowledge had taken primarily from black struggles & oppression in the mid 20th century america. however there are a lot of parallels to jewish oppression also, such as them being ethnically segregated into an ethnostate, the various attacks on faunus being seen as pogroms, a lot of the featured animal types of faunus in the show featuring in the torah & other things.

the faunus has overall just become a blob of "insert oppressed minority here", in a far less tactful way than other groups like them in media such as the x men but hey ho.

so yeah! this is why i see adam, personally, as jewish allegory & why people reducing him to just a "sociopathic abusers", ableism aside, ends up being incredibly reductive because this character is the one who faces the most racialized violence in his life, he was literally a former child slave, he is canonically pushed to actions he didn't want to take & in the end of it, adam's death is treated as the cure to faunus racism because it's never brought up again post this event.

overall it's just really disappointing to see this incredibly marginalized character who, not unintentionally, is constantly compared to an actual jewish character based on combating jewish oppression without respectability politics in magneto, essentially just used as a very blunt tool by very dumb, very ignorant non oppressed writers.

[promptuarium]

ISAAC, son of Abraham and Sarah, was born 14 years after Ishmael. He was offered up as a sacrifice when he was 13, or as others would have it 25, which was the 2073rd year of the world and the 1889th year before Christ was born.

When he was 40 he took as a wife Rebecca, daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, from Mesopotamia, sister of Laban, as his father Abraham had decided. When he was 60 twins were born to him and Rebecca. The first was Esau, red and hairy all over, and the other was Jacob, who came out immediately after, holding his brother's foot in his hand. When Isaac was 180 he died, and was returned to his people. See Genesis ch. 25 and 35, also Josephus, Antiquities book 1, ch. 26 and 28.

[emelinstriker]

I need to know, though i think i might already guess the answer...

18th August >> Mass Readings (USA)

Friday, Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time.

(Liturgical Colour: Green: A (1))

First Reading Joshua 24:1-13 I brought your father Abraham from the region beyond the River; I led you out of Egypt, I brought you to your land.

Joshua gathered together all the tribes of Israel at Shechem, summoning their elders, their leaders, their judges and their officers. When they stood in ranks before God, Joshua addressed all the people: “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: In times past your fathers, down to Terah, father of Abraham and Nahor, dwelt beyond the River and served other gods. But I brought your father Abraham from the region beyond the River and led him through the entire land of Canaan. I made his descendants numerous, and gave him Isaac. To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I assigned the mountain region of Seir in which to settle, while Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

“Then I sent Moses and Aaron, and smote Egypt with the prodigies which I wrought in her midst. Afterward I led you out of Egypt, and when you reached the sea, the Egyptians pursued your fathers to the Red Sea with chariots and horsemen. Because they cried out to the LORD, he put darkness between your people and the Egyptians, upon whom he brought the sea so that it engulfed them. After you witnessed what I did to Egypt, and dwelt a long time in the desert, I brought you into the land of the Amorites who lived east of the Jordan. They fought against you, but I delivered them into your power. You took possession of their land, and I destroyed them, the two kings of the Amorites, before you. Then Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab, prepared to war against Israel. He summoned Balaam, son of Beor, to curse you; but I would not listen to Balaam. On the contrary, he had to bless you, and I saved you from him. Once you crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho, the men of Jericho fought against you, but I delivered them also into your power. And I sent the hornets ahead of you that drove them (the Amorites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hittites, Girgashites, Hivites and Jebusites) out of your way; it was not your sword or your bow.

“I gave you a land that you had not tilled and cities that you had not built, to dwell in; you have eaten of vineyards and olive groves which you did not plant.”

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 136:1-3, 16-18, 21-22 and 24

R/ His mercy endures forever.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures forever; Give thanks to the God of gods, for his mercy endures forever; Give thanks to the LORD of lords, for his mercy endures forever.

R/ His mercy endures forever.

Who led his people through the wilderness, for his mercy endures forever; Who smote great kings, for his mercy endures forever; And slew powerful kings, for his mercy endures forever.

R/ His mercy endures forever.

And made their land a heritage, for his mercy endures forever; The heritage of Israel his servant, for his mercy endures forever; And freed us from our foes, for his mercy endures forever.

R/ His mercy endures forever.

Gospel Acclamation cf. 1 Thessalonians 2:13

Alleluia, alleluia. Receive the word of God, not as the word of men, but, as it truly is, the word of God. Alleluia, alleluia.

Gospel Matthew 19:3-12 Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

Some Pharisees approached Jesus, and tested him, saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause whatever?” He said in reply, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator made them male and female and said, For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, man must not separate.” They said to him, “Then why did Moses command that the man give the woman a bill of divorce and dismiss her?” He said to them, “Because of the hardness of your hearts Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. I say to you, whoever divorces his wife (unless the marriage is unlawful) and marries another commits adultery.” His disciples said to him, “If that is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” He answered, “Not all can accept this word, but only those to whom that is granted. Some are incapable of marriage because they were born so; some, because they were made so by others; some, because they have renounced marriage for the sake of the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever can accept this ought to accept it.”

The Gospel of the Lord

R/ Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Delivery--published in Bluestem Magazine

The line turned blue. I was ecstatic.

Charles' brow furrowed.

Our girls are still babies, he said.

So, they'll be close in age, I said.

I'm not sure I'm ready for a third, he said.

I had always wanted three children. Truth was, our two-child family reminded me of my isolated childhood, just me and my brother, our parents out of control and absent. Our basement housed a Primal Scream box; vials of lithium littered our parents' dressers. A third baby, I was sure, would serve as a stop sign to the barrage of lonely memories. Raising two kids would be too quiet. Three kids equaled a party. Charles's uncertainty paled in the face of my desperation.

The pregnancy was eventful.

Six weeks: 104-degree fever.

Patience and Tylenol, said the OB.

Nine weeks: heavy bleeding caused by prenatal diagnostic test. Frozen in bed, thighs clenched, I figured I'd blown it, would never get another chance at having a third. The next morning, a bloody pad bunched between my legs. The ultrasound wand, unbelievably, found a heartbeat. My tears of happiness thudded softly on the exam table paper.

Twenty-eight weeks: motionless baby sent a panicked me to the ER.

The heartbeat's loud and strong, the OB said, her voice calm and measured.

I went limp with relief.

Thirty-six weeks: low amniotic fluid per ultrasound.

I waddled down the hall to the high risk OB. He smeared the dome of my abdomen with goo.

Well?

Baby's fine, but we need to watch carefully.

Thirty-eight weeks.

Time to schedule the delivery, said the OB.

But it's two weeks before my due date.

Tomorrow, she said.

Charles narrowed his eyes upon hearing this news. His physician friends had told him stories about deliveries gone wrong, and he had been anxious at our girls' births.

It'll be fine, I said. Charles sighed and reached for my hand.

Push, said the OB.

You can do it, said Charles.

The nurse must have said – It's a boy! I must have smiled. The baby cried. The nurse took him aside to be cleaned up.

Mary, page the surgical team, said the OB in a clipped tone.

The doctor pushed one hand up deep, while the other smashed down on my belly from the outside.

Where are they, Mary? asked the doctor, her usually congenial voice sharp.

The OB removed her hand, walked to the wall and pressed the red button on a chrome panel before returning to the valley between my stirrups. Elbow-deep inside me she moved her hand along my innards, as if searching for a ring in a dark room.

What's wrong? I asked, scared.

She continued without answering. Charles sucked in his upper lip. I imagined I had become a character in one of those stories about life-threatening post-delivery placental problems. The normally unflappable OB barked orders to the nurse in a voice I did not recognize.

My son lay, red like Esau, jerking tiny feet and fists, in a clear Plexiglas bassinet. It became clear to me, there on the delivery table, that now that I had successfully – and selfishly – brought our third child into the world, I might die. I might never see my son flash a toothless grin, never know if he preferred chocolate or vanilla. And my girls: still watching Barney, still in patent leather Mary Janes, would they grow to be math/science nerds or humanities lovers? Love spicy curry or be white food kids? Adamant that three children would spare me from the lonely memories of my untethered upbringing, I had doomed them to growing up without a mother. And Charles. None of us would get the life I worked so hard to create.

Paper ripped. The nurse swabbed cold between my legs. My nostrils tingled from an antiseptic smell.

Cancel the page, said the OB.

She must have said something like I'm not worried anymore. Or I see what happened now. Or false alarm.

All I remember is that from the space between my knees I saw her face soften, and the creases on her forehead smooth.

Thank you, God, I whispered through tears.

The baby wailed.

Charles squeezed my hand.
