#for their fucking proselytizing

[therulerofallpotatos]

I watched Donnie Darko when I was 7years old with my parents. I liked it alright, but I only ever really remembered the last scene.

I meant to rewatch it as a teenager and never got around to it. I'm now 24 and fuck I should have watched this again when I was 15 like I wanted to.

there's aus where u try to recreate the "effect" of a character's personality and behavior through an alternative "cause", and then there's this shit where i Just think umm well personally wolfwood being down to kill for vash is hot and it's a bummer vash doesn't think so too, but what if an au where he does ?

it's not a true "villain" vash au, basically it goes that vash decided to stick it out with knives in the hopes he could mitigate the damage knives planned to do to mankind, and it's worked for the most part-- at the expense of vash taking on much of knives' ire himself. this vash is even more isolated than in canon, unable to meet the standard knives enforces for what a god is supposed to look like, and constantly concerned with appeasing knives: dressing and styling his hair in a way that doesn't annoy him, talking very little, always offering compromises that put himself at a disadvantage

it's a wholly bad deal, up until the eye (yeah i'm blending stuff from other triguns in even tho it's a 98 au lol) offer vash their latest up-and-coming disciple to protect and serve him directly, though the "protecting" thing ends up being extremely mutual. wolfwood is the first bright spot in vash's life in a hundred years, and he's not going to allow anybody to take that away

really quick thing but i had to get it out immediately once i thought about it

Edit 05/26/2023: thank you to @princess-of-purple-prose for assistance writing the following image ID!

[Image ID: Digital fanart of Vash from Trigun Maximum. Vash is depicted in profile. He is kneeling with his face pressed to the ground, his hands braced on either side of his head in a pose reminiscent of prayer or prostration. He is sobbing. The background is white with a gray cross. Excerpts of text float through the background, with the last three lines surrounding Vash. They read:

If you are Gilgamesh and did those things, why Are you so emaciated and your face half-crazed?

I have grieved! Is it so impossible To believe? he pleaded. My friend who went through everything with me Is dead!

No one grieves that much, she said. Your friend is gone. Forget him. No one remembers him. He is dead.

Enkidu. Enkidu. Gilgamesh called out: Help me. They do not know you As I know you. End Image ID.]

why do you hindutvas call christians “rice bags”? don’t try to deny it lol i’m active on twitter and i’ve seen my christian moots get called that atleast once a day by you lindutva losers. not to mention actually threatening churches and christian communities irl too. and you claim YOU are oppressed? and yall do realize that someone converting for a rice bag says more about the value of hinduism/hindu culture right? so hinduism = price of a rice bag? which is like, what Rs 100 at best? LOL

Me after I go to Christian houses to call them rice bags:

I have never called anyone this in my life pls 😭

"I'm active on twitter" Well that explains this. As if calling us “lindutva” yourself is not Hinduphobic?

Also, the fact that Christian missionaries are actively going around to poverty-stricken people and offering them rice in exchange for conversion is so fucking insidious. Holding food over someone's head to make them convert has to be one of the worst fucking things I've seen. Desperation will make people do anything. And don't even get me started on the proselytising that starts when kids are in SCHOOL. My own sister witnessed it.

And let me flip your question and ask YOU this. Making someone convert to get a rice bag says more about the values of Christianity, right? Why the fuck do you need to blackmail people into converting????

Random evangelical ringing my doorbell: hello could I interest you in a Bible course :)

Me: no thanks, I'm pagan.

The absolute funniest way for Christmas to exist in Ninjago is if it gets introduced by another realm after the Merge. Some Christian-equivalent people just insist on sharing their culture with these other realms and while Christianity itself doesn't really stick, these people make it quite clear that other people are welcome to participate in Christian stuff (much like in real life) and everyone just goes "Oh. Okay sure. Why not. Sounds fun."

[punkbooyahbomber2227]

this group of kids out in splatsville had the coddamn audacity to call me a cop for covering up graffiti and telling them to stop tagging the stuff they plaster up in public spaces with their fucking phone numbers. that is just an absolutely vile insult to dole out at someone who's actually looking out for your safety and wellbeing

[heyftinally]

quick question: what part of my blog says "I'm welcoming to spammy biblical bullshit blogs"? I need to know so I can fix that.

[nobusinessonhotelproperty]

if you project your religious/spiritual beliefs onto me or ask me to engage in using them to judge other people or make decisions, you don't get to complain if I tell you I think those beliefs are garbage. if people with a particular set of beliefs do this to me regularly, I get to be a little salty, as a treat.

European Jews genuinely claiming modern indigeneity to Palestine and also acting crazy about converts are 2 things that make me want to start throwing shit at people. Like why do you think you are white dumbass. Think about it for 5 seconds
