Bill Cipher evil medicine cat au?

I just thought of this and thought it would be really interesting

Sure!

Dumroll please......

WC Bill Cipher is the third (The first is technically Lightwalk and the second is technically Rainsoul, but I hadn't developed the idea enough) cat I will release in relation to the Pantheon! (A group of deities that exist in all the works here, used as influences/monsters if I need them).

The Pantheon is all represented by a different animal! Lightwalk, the crow. Rainsoul, the vulture. WC Bill Cipher, Goldengleam, the coyote. (And his brother is represented by a rabbit, but we won't be getting into that yet.)

Goldengleam takes on a multitude of names, but relies on this one as the name we all know and love (to hate). He, like most of the Pantheon, can shapeshift! He keeps the form of a cat, but does show off his coyote form from time to time.

I imagine Goldengleam is known as a very eccentric member of the Pantheon, being a tad sillier and more kit friendly than his brother (If you can figure it out I'll skip the queue and do his brother before any other requests I'm writing. I'll give you a hint, his brother is the WC version of who is basically him but without Disney to reel in the age rating.)

Since I don't really want to develop much of WC Gravity Falls plot beyond what I've revealed since we only have our main antagonist as of writing this, I'll do a bit about if he preferred medicine to talking to other cats, and then I'll leave you off with a story!

Goldengleam, if he acted as a medicine cat, or a healer for the society of Gravity, he would rely much more on poisons than talking other cats into doing his dirty work (Which I bet he relied on for much of Shooting Stars are just Meteors). Slipping a bit over here, oh no you're sick! How terrible!

And for the story.... (Inspired by parables in the bible)

Once upon a time, when the great beasts roamed the forest, an elk insulted a bear. The bear became angry, and challenged the elk to a fight, killing and eating the elk.

A coyote had something rude to say about this. "Well, that wasn't very polite. You've already eaten for leaf-bare, why take more?"

And the bear went, "Why, the elk was even ruder! He needed to be taught a lesson."

The coyote replied, "I'm quite sure the elk learned his lesson from your stomach." The bear found this offensive, and challenged the coyote to a duel. The coyote agreed to meet at sunhigh the next day, and both of them went to their dens.

The bear went to sleep immediately, but the coyote looked to the stars. "Hello? Stars? Please give me assistance. I am a coyote, I can not beat a bear, but I was right. Give me help, please."

And then the stars answered, with a cat, who said. "Hello, coyote. Go to the den of the bear, and begin piling sticks. If I do not deliver by dawn, you can call me whatever name you wish."

The coyote, not one to disobey an obvious answer from the stars, followed the commands of the cat, wondering why the stars did not send a spirit in the form of another coyote. Time passed, and it was nearly dawn, when the bear would wake up.

Once again, another spirit appeared behind him. It was another coyote, but a bright gold color instead of the light blue of the stars. It smiled, winked, and began to emit a terrifying force.

It was fire. The coyote watched in joy as the bear ran out from the den that was now on fire, only to be met with the coyote he had challenged to a duel.

The bear was furious. "You said we would meet at dawn!"

But the spirit replied first. "In your duel with the elk, you said that it would not be deadly. And then you ate his body. Now, I'm not one for rules, but it does seem that you threw away honor already. And besides, nobody said that the coyote couldn't set fire to your den!"

The bear was left speechless, and never bothered the coyote again.

That's all! If you desire more elaboration or another request, do not hesitate to contact me!

Byeee!

It fucks me up so much when I see the same dusty ass bullshit being rebranded like this. This person is using cutesy tumblr-lingo to try and paint themselves as fun and relatable.

Super cool Christianity, totally hip and down the the kids, totally not terrible at al-

Babe, that shit ain't flying on Tumblr. Maybe try Facebook @the-kirbe-anon

How do other queer Christians deal with anger and hate towards others? I could use some advice..

// LGBT discourse

I was watching a video and I was sent back to the days when people (and my mother) would argue that asexuals don't get enough hatred and therefore are not queer. "If asexuals are lgbtq where do they receive oppression??" Not that oppression makes you queer or not, because it doesn't, but asexuals receive hatred from the same place everyone else does: The Fundamentally Christian Church

Made this for school but felt like the Tumblr bitches would enjoy it too. Feast.

I've been thinking about modesty from a specifically trans lense lately. I was taught that modesty indicates shame, that modesty means you're simultaneously ashamed of being human and having a human body, but also that you are "purer" because you adhere to a hegemonic idea of modesty. Frankly, I just don't agree with this, and it was very much steeped in the idea of specifically christian ideas of modesty.

Before I transitioned, I felt very unprotective of my body because it never felt like mine to begin with. I didn't really care what happened to it, and while I was modest by other people's standards, I certainly didn't feel it. Once I actually started transitioning (and especially on testosterone), I've found that I'm so much more "modest" because I've become protective of my body. There's this stereotype that trans people start "showing themselves off" after transitioning, but I honestly feel the opposite. I'm possessive over my body and exactly how it acts and appears because I actually like my body, and it finally feels like mine. I'm honestly kind of selfish about it, and I think I've earned the right to be.

I made this post because I think this is an interesting topic, and I think it's interesting the ways in which we internalize the influences that be. It's also a reminder that no matter how you feel about things like modesty, you should adhere to what makes the most sense to you and what you are most comfortable with. There are pressures to be modest in this way or that way, but what truly matters is what you decide with your body and yourself.

Is Gabe canonically trans? The majority of fics have him tagged as such but I can't find anything in the game or wiki about it.

canonically, his identity isn't confirmed in any way afaik but francis xie has headcanoned him as such and i think a lot of ppl just like to as well :]

please pray for me as i truly begin this discernment process

my priest, unbeknownst to me, is apparently in charge of the ordination process for the whole diocese.

so deep into our conversation, when i had mentioned i had experienced a possible calling before- not thinking much of it- i could tell he was eager

he explained to me how our rural community needs more priests badly. and as the priest in charge of ordination, making that final decision, he said he had been praying hard, especially in the past 2 weeks. “and then we showed up at the church” he said.

no pressure, but he told me he believed i may want to pray on it and potentially follow this calling i have thought about since 2017, something i keep coming back to despite everything that’s happened.

he explained how much the ordination process has changed and how much easier it could be for me to be ordained. another issue that felt resolved for me.

in the meantime, he has offered me multiple ways to get involved in the church. he also has invited me to help work with him to build a local queer christian community that is desperately needed.

this priest, who eagerly wants to have lunch with us after thursday mass once a month, the priest in charge of ordination, may even become a sort of mentor figure

my whole world might have potentially changed in one afternoon. i am still trying to find out where God is leading me, but i trust Him. God will not lead me astray

so please, prayers as i find out where God wants me as i find my place in His church

Look not at our sins, O Lord, but at the faith of your queers.

I feel violated by the Paris Olympics opening ceremony

Look, I forgot the Olympics was even happening until I saw the news coverage about the mockery of the Last Supper. Given that I had no intention of watching the games, I was not too bothered. It sucks that once again Christianity can be mocked and hated but still 'Christophobia' is not a thing.

What does bother me is the sexual depravity of the whole thing. I was watching a news clip yesterday about it (as background noise during work) and without any trigger warning, the news showed a close-up of a guy's testicles!!! Oh my LORD! I felt so triggered.

I have mentioned already that I have been exposed to pornographic imagery by accident or through curiosity while reading fanfics. It's hard having that imagery in your head and I feel so unclean. It's a constant battle to fight lust. Now, I have that image of that pervy, nasty man's balls in my head. UGH!!! I hope the Paris Olympics crashes and burns. And I hope the radical LGBT community realizes that being sexually disgusting like this, especially when it comes to kids, is not building any bridges. At least with decent people. I am unfortunately associating the LGBT community with perversion more and more each day. I feel like vomiting at the thought that there was allegedly (I am not watching to confirm) a kid near the nasty guy whose balls were hanging out. Gross!

You know it's bad when you decide to go to church randomly for the first time in like 10 yrs.

[pickle-the-lad]

I started thinking about Muslim women, which made me start thinking about transness and religion...

Now I'm hyper fixating on religious justification for transitioning, but have no idea how to start researching this... so if anyone's interested, please info-dump on me about religion in an LGBT+ friendly way💖💕

I'm perfectly open to discussions about any part of the LGBT+/MOGAI community, but my main focus with this post is transness.

This is the one time I'm using a dni!

If you're NOT friendly and supportive and you reply, I will block you. If you're anti-religion, this is not the post for you.

Love how it took a TikTok to a Gigi Perez song for me to even realise that never, NOT EVEN ONCE, in my Christian Primary School, did I ever learn that gay people exist
