#he would go to Pride

[ooc-miqojak]

I mean, Jesus was killed because he was an outspoken liberal who hung out with whores, and dirty commonfolk. Jesus was like... the chillest guy, and Christianity shouldn't be confused with what pseudo-Christians have been brain washed into believing. I'm not all that religious these days (the Bible says we can pray and God can hear us so... why listen to some racist/bigot calling himself a preacher?), but I grew up around it and was heavily immersed in it... and at the end of the day? Christianity says to accept all people (no exceptions!) - God loves all people (no exceptions!) - and not to be a dick. All you need are the commandments that amount to "don't be a piece of shit person" and the parables about Jesus that are like "he supports sex workers, children's rights, he feeds the homeless, and that time he saw people trying to make money off of religion he literally grabbed a whip and beat those people".

As far as I'm aware, anyone can become a church leader/pastor/preacher, so why wouldn't bigots and racists take over the churches and teach people the wrong thing? No one reads the Bible for themselves anymore, or they'd have a lot of questions about why they're being told to hate gay people (nothing about that in the Bible btw - God loves everyone) - or to hate anyone at all. And even if there were some arbitrary rule about being gay (there isn't), a real Christian would utilize compassion - not hate. There's some line from Jesus when he's confronted about hanging out with the 'dregs' of society, and he says that the sick people need the doctor - not the healthy ones. Which amounts to - if you think someone needs God's love or guidance... you'd show them compassion. Not revulsion.

Like most religions, Christianity is about being kind to others, and generally not being a shit person. But like many influential things created for good... bad people see it as a tool. And again, I have plenty of days where I have existential dread and lots of doubt... most days, really. But this isn't about my crisis of faith - it's just important to me that people be able to distinguish between what Christianity IS and what its being used FOR - not just in the modern era, but for a long time. God didn't support ye olden Crusades, and he sure as fuck doesn't sort the modern kind either. People love to use God for an excuse to do bad deeds, despite that same God very explicitly having rules that oppose what they're doing.

(Also feel free to troll those pseudo-Christians that maybe they have mis-read the Bible: God hates figs... you know, because Jesus once smote a fig tree while he was hangry.)

psa for the christian girls that interact with me:

your religion was manufactured by males out of a deep-seated envy over women's control of life. it insists women are less than men and that rape is a part of gods plan. i do not care about respecting religion. especially when a core tenet of that religion is that my sex makes me subhuman and subservient to males

Wuthering Waves has taken over all of my free time recently, so here's a sketch of Scar!Ren I originally shared in da 14DWY Discord!!

the most romantic thing about the solas romance is how much love there is for lavellan in the act of breaking up with her.

solas breaks up with lavellan because it is objectively what is best for her. not because it's what he wants. not because his mission is just more important than she is. because he loves her.

it is in lavellan's best interests that she know who she falls in love with and has agency in that decision. solas breaks up with her because he is not entirely truthful about who he is. she can't make an informed choice about being with him without the truth. and because solas isn't ready to tell her the truth, he backs off.

whether we like it or not, fen'harel is part of who solas is, even if solas is part of his genuine character, the face he shows us in DAI is not all of him.

what is so sexy about solas showing his love for her in this way is he sees the clear power imbalance between them (him with all his secrets), and he chooses her well being over his desires, he puts the power back in her hands - by breaking up with her. he says, "it isn't right of me to continue with this when you don't actually know me". only his reveal in trespasser opens the door for her to accept him, or deny him.

ultimately, it is up to lavellan to decide what is in her best interests. does she accept solas, now knowing the truth, or does she say "wow yeah i actually can't live with that" and walk away?

happy pride month. i did not make this up for th ememe

[specific-dreamer]

and when i write a fic where ponyboy and johnny don’t go to dally after killing bob

johnnys tryna pull pony’s unresponsive self away from bob but ponyboy is wet and cold and scared and probably .3 seconds away from crying and all he knows is darry

darry can make this all go away

darry might be mad again when he sees pony wet at 230am but once he explains maybe he won’t be as mad. if pony’s lucky (he usually isn’t) maybe darry won’t be too angry at him for running out the house

darry will know what to do with the blade. he’ll know if they ought to bury it somewhere or just clean it real good. and if he can’t, well darry had always been real smart he’ll know how to get them out of town

i just

idk man there’s something about a soaking wet ponyboy on the verge of tears (because jesus mary christmas somebody just tried to kill him how is he alive)

and he’s never actually seen a dead body before at least not one that he knows darry made sure him and soda never saw they’re parents mangled bodies, but bob is right there. blood leaking out of him staining the grass red like in that wonderland book he read a while ago.

bob is right there and if pony doesn’t focus, if he quits using his head, he can almost pretend bob is just sleeping, albeit in a weird position

and (for a split second) pony almost wishes it was him instead of bob. he almost wishes bob did succeed in killing him. because pony was unconscious and he was so close to seeing his mama and daddy again. he was so close and he accepted it, drowning wasn’t exactly how he wanted to go out but if he got to see his mama again then oh well. his eyes was closed one moment and the next he’s coughing up water and seeing johnny with a bloody knife

and ponyboy is soaking wet, somebody tried to kill him, he feels like he’s gonna throw up or pass out again, and all he knows is he wants to run to his big brother. he wants him to hold him and tell pony that it’s gonna be okay and that darry will take care of everything

Can we all say thank you to Granada Holmes for showing Holmes and Watson reacting this way to a blackmailer bringing up how he destroyed a gay man’s life?
