[hacksawboy]

gotta say the design decisions for the dude between postal 3 and postal 4 are kind of funny. im postal 3 he was a hot 20 something with transmasc swag but the game ended up being so shit that they decided to do a complete 180 and make him an old man with gray hairs. honestly i was a hater at first but yeah. you go girl. you go old man postal dude.

Wait. considering that Micah is Jewish... does that mean Jesus exists in your Epithet Erased AU?

Wait... Are you Jewish?

NO? I'm not Jewish, I don't resignate with any religion??

I don't want to get into this. Y'know what sure, Epithet erased has an Epithet Jesus. I'm sure Christians and churches exist too, just like Australia does.

Lilith

This is the beginning of the side/supporting character list, and descriptions. Mind that I’ve added some characters since first creating the list a bit back. Anyway here’s Lilith.

Lilith is the mother of all demons. She is mother to the 4 young princes (Mammon, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, and Belphegor). Before that she was the first woman to be created.

Lucifer watched from the walls around Eden and admired her. He’d sneak in to speak with her. He fell in love with her. Adam didn’t seem to even care about her and blatantly disrespected her existence. So, Lucifer tried to take Lilith from Eden.

God didn’t like this. So he cast away Lucifer and Lilith. They made a home for themselves in hell where they laid.

 Lilith learned soon that she had importance to the world though. Her existence in this world was to give life. This isn’t about “being a mother” no. She stepped into hell and grass began to grow. And for the world above to do the same she’d need to be there. So, she made a deal with God and her new husband. She would travel and bring life, then come home to hell. 

This version of her is heavily inspired by persephone. She’s one of my favorite gods.

I loved, LOVED this book as a child

I'm not Jewish... as a child I didn't realize the people in the book were Jewish (I just saw them as grandfather and grandchild).

Recognizing now that it's a Jewish story fills me with joy, it's such a wonderful story! The Jewish community has some amazing storytellers.

(AND THE AAAARRRRTTTT OMG)

'Your children will be as abundant as the stars'

Stars, like seeds, are abundant.. But there is also the isolating distance between them as they've spread. It can be lonely but hope you feel safe and loved and there's beauty in the homes we've made all over.

I do think the ‘comedy’ of Dracula in this part of the story only adds to the horror. Like we can all go ‘haha lizard fashion’ because it is ridiculous, he’s crawling barefoot on that wall like 🦎

But also fucking imagine a whole ass man skittering down a wall like that, the fact that his cloak is billowing like wings means he must be going fast too bc otherwise it would just fall over his head. (Or idk maybe he is using magic powers to make his cloak look cooler who knows.)

And it’s in his pretending to have servants too, I know, my most popular post rn is calling him a loser for it which he is!! He’s probably really embarrassed about it too bc it’s demeaning for a boyar to do those chores!

But Jonathan doesn’t have the luxury of laughing at this stuff.

One thing that really caught my attention this time is the uncanny valley of it all. From the moment Jonathan meets the Count, he can tell something is off. No matter how thickly he puts on the charm, Dracula can’t hide the fact that he’s not human; he’s something else, a ‘creature in the semblance of a man’, there’s something innately off-putting about his presence. His eyes, his teeth, his hands, his smell: he has the aura of a predator and Jonathan, his prey, can feel it.

From Jonathan’s point of view, every hilarious weird thing the Count does is another sign of him being Not Human, as well as the fact that he’s in total control—as his ruse of normality is slowly falling apart, but there’s still nothing Jonathan can do. The mask is slipping, the Count is revealing his true nature—whether accidentally or on purpose—and Jonathan can only watch and keep pretending in the hope that it will prolong his life.

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.

grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.

you know. I think it's going to be worse this year because the first night chanukkah is on christmas day. but I'll say it until I physically cannot speak anymore that chanukkah is not jewish christmas and if you so much as insinuate it is (while knowing better) I'll incinerate your face.

oh so the writer who put extremely offensive jewish stereotypes in her book is also denying things that happened during the holocaust what a surprise 🙄
