"All mythological ideas are essentially real, and far older than any philosophy. Like our knowledge of physical nature, they were originally perceptions and experiences. In so far as such ideas are universal, they are symptoms or characteristics or normal exponents of psychic life, which are naturally present and need no proof of their truth".

- Carl G. Jung.

although i haven't often been active in this fandom, I've been a prongsfoot shipper for six years now. a few years back when you would scroll through the tag on ao3 and tumblr alike, the content was sparse and there were only one or two authors who posted consistently. oh and the discourse of it all, people hated prongsfoot it was an incredibly stigmatized ship.

i'm thrilled, i mean just ecstatic to see that my otp has picked up in popularity! there are so many new blogs and fics i don't even know where to start. im excited to start contributing to this fandom again. i have so many headcanons, drabbles, and maybe even fic recs to share. speaking of fic recommendations please please please throw some my way i wanna know what the fandom is reading these days.

#prongsfoot #dead gay wizards #i don't actually write about ships that often my main is a naruto blog and most of it is headcanons and world building #i've done a lot of world building for Harry Potter too so i'll probably be posting about that as well #as a teen i was super into pre Christian western european religion mostly as a method of processing my exit from the church but it also #helped me write a bunch of mystical Harry Potter headcanons and i definitely want to share them #anyways i've written more for james and sirius then i have for almost any other ship so that'll be my main focus

A fine scholarly guide to the origins, growth and flourishing of the myriad forms of Christian ascetic life that dominated both Western and Eastern Christianity for a millennium and which still form a vital part of the Church’s religious experience.

i really love the 'it came to me in a dream' moments when writing.. i had just made the main human knight character for this story and named him but had no appearance in mind until i woke up this morning already 100% certain that he looks EXACTLY like george harrison

#he's the next in line for the throne but he is NOT the eldest son. the eldest son is a bastard #who is trying to be legitimised by killing a dragon that killed the king's brother #so our guy mr harrison is like aw fuck i cannot let my older brother be recognised as legitimate. i need to kill that dragon first #but holly was a witness to the king's brother's death and knows that no dragon killed him. kingbrother killed himself thus rendering him #unable to go to heaven by christian* doctrine and a sinner. meaning that avenging him shouldn't be rewarded at all #*sorry the concept of knights is completely inextricable from religion & the absence of xtianity in medieval european fantasy is a shame #anyway when bastard son kills the dragon and gets the evidence of kingbrother's body out of the cave this forces sir harrison #(a complete jerk btw)#to work towards making this tiny little pest kobold thing someone whose eyewitness testimony would be trusted in court. no easy ask.#dog knight story

Faith

Artist: Emma Gaggiotti Richards (Italian, 1825-1912)

Date: c. 1845-1850

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Royal Collection Trust, London, United Kingdom

Description

This is one of a set of four allegories depicting ‘Religion’ and the three theological virtues, commissioned by Prince Albert and modeled on Raphael’s four virtues in roundels on the vault of the Stanza della Segnatura. 'Faith' is shown as a woman is seated with a cherub beside her holding an olive branch, not an attribute especially associated with this virtue in traditional iconography.
