#in all honesty Bible killed it

[confusedraven1]

i absolutely love that jim is the one to keep the heart of stede’s crew alive while ed did everything he could to destroy it.

one of the first comments ed makes to stede’s crew in season 1 is “everyone’s covered in rope!” so what does jim do? literally covers themself in rope, to remind ed that, as long as they’re alive, that hope and love isn’t going anywhere.

not only that, but, in the bible, rope is a symbolism for trust and security. jim became a secure place for the crew to tie themselves to while just trying to stay alive.

of course, i then had to look into why they have a fishing net around their shoulders as well, and found The Fishing Net Parable from the Book of Matthew (13:47-52):

"Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away.”

“This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

jim amputates izzy’s leg, despite having never done it before. they quite literally separate him from the rotten bits to save his life.

jim says, “he was your friend.” they separate ed from who he was before from who he’s allowed himself to become, not to punish him, but to remind him of the consequences of his actions.

jim tells izzy point blank, “you’re in an unhealthy relationship with blackbeard.” they aren’t trying to break them up; they’re just bringing to light whats true so things can (hopefully) get better.

jim shows archie that, just because pirating is normally done a certain way, doesn’t mean it has to—they separate archie from the toxic belief that “that’s just how things are, it’s just life,” and “why save him if he’s a dick?”

jim tries to separate the idea from the crew that ed is fine, because they immediately recognize that things are about to get much worse: “so, do we think he’s better?” “FUCK no!”

jim immediately says, “wasn’t the wedding thing a bit over the line?” they know they’re all pirates and have questionable morals anyway, but knows it was fucked up of them to massacre a wedding, an event that’s supposed to be joyful and full of life and beginnings, not death and destruction. they’re, again, dividing up the way things are vs. how they could (and should) be.

ed tries to pin them all dying on jim cause they wouldn’t kill archie, but they bite back with, “you would’ve done it anyway!” they know exactly where the lies are, and separates them from the truth, and ed can’t deny it.

jim separates themself (and olu) from the bounds of monogamy through their honesty. olu is still their best friend and lover and family even though they found and did things with someone else.

jim holds out their hand for olu to take when they’re escaping the red flag. olu’s interest in zheng yi sao isn’t bad and jim’s not trying to separate them, but is trying to keep together the things that are good: their family.

(later addition, edit) jim is also the one that “kills” ed. they’re the one to make that final choice, to say, “it’s you or us.” jim’s actions and choices entire first two episodes led them to that moment, like it was the “final judgment” of blackbeard.

jim is the rope and net of the crew. they’re trust and security and honesty, everything that stede was trying to get the crew to understand from day 1, everything stede is always trying to embody (and i dare say is starting to succeed at).

Can you please tell me how you think Darius came to meet and fall in love with Daniel 🥺🥺 (or when he started trying to court the poor dilf)

Hold on here, you have opened a floodgate!

A lot of the text below will be a mix of the Bible itself and my headcanons! I will sometimes clarify what is canon or not… Maybe….

So everything starts when Daniel is still serving his second king, Belshazzar, as his saris (eunuch/dream interpreter). Then the day comes, God crashes one of Belshazzar's "scandalous" parties and graffitis the wall. Daniel is ordered to translate the message, and he delivers the news that King Belshazzar will soon die by the Persians. This prediction comes true. That night, Persian assassins arrive and assassinate the king, and the next morning Darius and his army take over Babylon and the city.

When Darius arrives at the palace, he sees Daniel standing beside the throne, dressed in purple clothing and wearing a beautiful golden necklace. Darius is impressed. Daniel is dressed this way because before Belshazzar was killed, he ordered Daniel to be dressed in royal clothing and crowned him as king of Babylon. According to the Bible, Belshazzar did this out of gratitude for Daniel's honesty about telling him his fate. However, I interpret this more as Belshazzar trying to get the Persians to believe that Daniel was the king of Babylon instead of him. It kind of makes more sense in a way. But either way, this plan doesn't work.

Darius immediately notices that Daniel isn't a random nobleman but instead the previous king's eunuch, and that this eunuch was the one who predicted King Belshazzar's death. So Darius makes Daniel his own immediately. Yes, Daniel predicted a king's demise, but he also, in a way, predicted Darius's victory, so of course, Darius spares Daniel's life and makes him his own servant.

(I swear, Daniel literally gets passed around all the time by different kings.)

I think Darius finds Daniel attractive, and that attraction turns into a type of admiration. Darius, used to flattery and superficial courtly interactions, finds himself drawn to Daniel's rough but genuine authenticity. Gradually, Darius's way to court the poor fellow would be giving him tasks or positions that expect him to spend time with the king. Darius's way of flirting is very on the nose, and Daniel is very aware of it. He just isn't used to this kind of affection from his superior, nor does he have the experience to handle this. King Nebuchadnezzar was just an abusive wreck, and the reason why Daniel became a slave to the royal court, and King Belshazzar, well, I would say that he wasn't really abusive but more indifferent towards Daniel. So having Darius as his new king to serve makes the eunuch a little bit confused but appreciative.

The moment when Daniel and Darius become "true" friends is the moment when Darius finds out Daniel's real name. You see, when King Nebuchadnezzar took Daniel as his dream interpreter, he also changed Daniel's name to Belteshazzar (which is yes, really similar to King Belshazzar, another proof that King Belshazzar thought he could make the Persians mistake Daniel as him). Darius in the Bible calls Daniel by his real name and not his given Babylonian name.

For me, it's a small but important moment. I think there isn't really "the" moment Darius fell in love with Daniel, but more like a gradual awakening, and it's more on Daniel's side to realize that he has become an integral part of Darius' heart.

Day (Lost Count) - He didn’t catch me

I’ve had some atheists direct message or repost some of my content with rebuttals and cynicism. I had tried to respond to them but they weren’t accepting responses. So I guess, this post would make them glad. God did not catch me.

God might as well be a million miles away, I felt the devil and man’s evil more tangibly than I have felt Him. I guess this is just a longer way of saying Job’s famous “darkness is my friend” line 🤭. But I’m ok with all of that. He’s God and I am not.

What I’m not ok with is how my Father watched me get beaten and broken and then left me there and now someone’s thumb is in my wound pressing yet somehow I can minister, and even though I shouldn’t be able to pour from an empty cup, somehow, I still have something to give those who are needy and hurting. I am receiving grace somewhere that I can give to others. So there’s only one conclusion: God’s presence and Holy Spirit is undeniably with me.

I think this time, God has really killed me

So where does that leave me? I’m still doing essential work for the Lord but it appears His graces are for everyone else and not me.

This is where the Book of Job shines. You see, right now, I am focused on my performance when what God wants is relationship. In a long tradition of biblical figures like the older brother (in the story of the Prodigal Son) and Martha, the sister of Lazarus, I’ve been so focused on “doing the work of God” that I have not taken the time to be honest with Him like Job was and this has allowed the enemy to plant seeds of resentment.

Life is lived forward but only understood backwards

I absolutely love my Father but I cannot fathom His treatment of me and yet duty has compelled me to promote a brand of “feel good Christianity” (because I thought that I had to protect the feelings of those I minister to, completely forgetting that my role is only to evangelize and the “nurturing of the faith” work belongs to the Holy Spirit), completely ignoring the fact that in real relationships, fights happen. Parents and children argue and have disagreements. The enemy is the one attempting to nurture a garden of unhealthy “sugar daddy” expectations.

Look at Jonah, a lot can be said about Jonah but here’s a crucial verse that everyone misses in the Bible: Jonah was asleep in the storm (Jonah 1:1-6) just like Jesus was asleep in the storm (Mark 4:35-41). Jonah had faith in God’s goodness that he knew that if Nineveh repented, they would be spared but Jonah didn’t want that, he was disobedient to God’s plan for him however, Jonah offers himself to be a sacrifice to the sea knowing that it will calm the storm. The circumstances and context between Jesus and Jonah’s storm experiences may be very different but the outcome is similar, the storm calms. You can have faith and still struggle and chafe at the will of God or you can have faith and utter obedience.

This is where spiritual warfare begins to get terrifying: the closer you are to God, the more your own unworthiness is felt, making the battle a complex discernment process to separate your own thoughts from what the enemy is planting. Should you give up on God because you don’t recognize that He is walking with you along your own Emmaus Road? Or do you invite Him for dinner and then during the breaking of the bread, you realise that God was walking alongside you the whole time?

The disciples walking the Emmaus Road shared one very important thing with Job, they were brutally honest with God about their disappointments. Which brings me to another point: like any war, peace is hard fought. The difference is, this is a battle that Jesus fights, you only need to bring your sorrow, heart ache, disappointment and honesty to Him and in doing so, honour Him like you would your earthly fathers.

Really tell God how you feel and then like the Psalmist says in Psalm 143:8 “let dawn bring news of your faithful love”

AUGHHHHHH the unyielding urge to redesign Lucifer and Adam from HH cause what.

I've heard Adam's design is 'good' and it's supposed to be simple because he was the first man and is supposed to look like the average guy.

But I will ignore that if/when I redesign him because that is stupid.

It also goes in the topic about how HH romanticized Christianity in the show (a problem most shows have when they depict Christianity but I digress)

The reason it especially annoys me when hazbin is in question is because HH and HB want to focus a bit more on the characters and lore of the bible. And instead of trying to depict it correctly they just choose to romanticize it.

You hear this argument a lot with Greek myth as well. The Greek gods were assholes, so don't romanticize their actions PLEASE. (Ex: Disney's Hercules)

But the difference between Hercules and HH is that Hercules was always supposed to be a family friendly movie. While HH is of course ment for mature audiences.

Which means there's no reason to romanticize it like they did. And when I mean 'romanticize' I mean generally how they depicted heaven with all the pastels and how the cherubs are depicted in HB which all dials down to the art direction.

Also what they did to Saint Peter. Unforgivable.

If it's meant for mature audiences I'd also like to see a more mature representation of the Religion you're depicting.

Also the plot doesn't really make sense when you think about it? Like purgatory is right there?? Please acknowledge your source material lol????

It honestly shocks me cause all this time the purgatory hasn't been mentioned ONCE in the show. So does it even exist??

And if it doesn't... Well, that's just stinky writing-

And for the 'romanticizing' of Christianity (in the art direction more specifically), they could've done that. However in that case they shouldn't have focused so much on religion??

If heaven was only going to be mentioned here and there then sure you could do that. But if you're going to focus SO MUCH on it and going to make it so important to the lore then please treat it with respect?

And with Lucifer- I mean, that just shows how little the writers actually care about depicting the source material semi-accurately.

You give me the literal personification of evil and make him an uwu short king with depression.

I mean that just leads me to think Lucifer is really pathetic as a character when you know a thing or two about him in the bible.

When Lucifer TRICKED Eve into taking the fruit, he wasn't doing it to give her knowledge or something. He was doing it because he wasn't supposed to, because he wants to screw Adam and Eve over. Because he's bad.

I get that's whole thing about HH's Lucifer but still. Lucifer is not HH's character. He's much more than just a character at that.

And that type of approach is also in all honesty pretty disrespectful. You took the being that ruined humanity, that screwed it over, and turn him into... Whatever you call HH's Lucifer.

Like- I mean- Look at these two people and tell me they're supposed to be the same character

The Lucifer on the right looks intimidating and hateful while also being beautiful. Lucifer was the most beautiful angel so that makes sense. Not to mention the Lucifer on the right looks like someone who could kill you in a second.

Whilst the Lucifer on the left is a short, skinny, blond uwu-ass boy. I could take him a fight smh.

And yeah, short people aren't that intimidating I said it. I mean, I wouldn't be scared of my foe if they're the size of an eight year old-

Also, no, I'm sorry but this isn't intimidating at all

It's such an easy fix too. Just make him a bad but helpful character. Make him rude, let him do terrible things and be sadistic, that's the whole point of Lucifer. However, make situations where he has to help Charlie, not because he cares, but because he's too prideful to be made a fool of by heaven.

BOOM! A good way to make Lucifer an actually decent anti-hero of sorts.

Not to mention Lilith isn't an actual character in Christianity. She's only a character in Jewish Religion. Which is like- Yikes-

Please do not mix religions when interpreting them in a media, because that is really easy to do wrong and it's just generally something you shouldn't do.

Now keep in mind:

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND MY CONCERNS ON HAZBIN HOTEL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH A WORD I SAY.

If you like Hazbin that's genuinely awesome! I'm glad you found something you enjoy, continue doing that!! And honestly everything I say is just the art of adaptation.

These are just my personal takes that I can't keep to myself since I'm the type of person that can't keep shit in her head and has to voice everything-

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

s1 episode 15 thoughts

oh boy this was a juicy one! after the previous mulder's ex reveal in 01x12, we get scully's ex reveal now! surely this indicates something...

so it starts with a bank robbery where jack and the robber get shot, the robber shot by scully herself. she means business! do not stand in her way!

then we see the jack in the hospital and they give up on trying to revive him, but she says that if they don't try, she'll do it herself. another example of dana scully NOT messing around. many such cases!

and it seems to work! miraculously! as the other fellow dies at the same time and a tattoo is seen leaving his skin!!! you know what that means: it's possession o'clock!

our now dead guy gets his fingers ripped off as possessed jack wants his wedding ring back, which lead me to writing in my notes, "scully you can't serve looks in a morgue" but by golly. she sure did. decorum be damned, she was serving.

when mulder makes a pit stop with scully to the classroom of a biologist at a maryland university, a question formed in my head: how many random faculty members of colleges and universities does mulder have easy contact with? because i feel like this happens A Lot. he must keep a list somewhere.

"the plot thickens," says mulder, upon learning that jack is scully's ex! they dated for a year, and he was her instructor at the academy! now surely that cannot be a thing that is encouraged. the FBI HR department must have been in a tizzy.

(in all honesty though. gross vibes from this man before and after possession. dating students, current or former, is generally frowned upon)

to try and prove that jack is possessed, mulder gets him to sign scully a birthday card, but that leads to a scene where he gives it to her and she pauses for a few seconds before telling him he's two months early.

now, i would have LOVED to be in her head for those few seconds. the "initial confusion -> at least he thought of me? -> hurt he didn't know my birthday -> ohhh this is one of those fox mulder schemes" train of thought must have been a roller coaster.

she thinks it's possible that he genuinely forgot her birthday- she says she even forgot her birthday once (which is Feb 23rd, by the way! a pisces!) because she was studying for her medical exams!

(i expect them to celebrate bountifully in her honor two months after the events of this episode to make up for that lost time!)

this jack fellow is very much possessed and he is VERY demanding to scully. she seems surprised by this, so i don't think he was like that pre-possession, but still, not great vibes off this guy with the whole instructor-student thing.

and then he switches up and kidnaps her. and i'm not sure which was worse: the fact that scully was handcuffed to a radiator, or that she had to sit through the guy who put her there explaining to a woman that he is actually her dead ex in a new body. another moment of great scully suffering.

when the kidnappers let mulder speak to scully, he calls her "dana" again, twice. his concern was showing!!!! i am a sucker for the "only calling someone by their last name to maintain formality until Something Bad Happens and their first name slips out" trope so this was adjacent to christmas for me! (and i eagerly await the first distressed yelling of "fox!")

AND THEN! he says to the kidnapper "listen to me, you lay one hand on Scully and so help me God..." OKAY! so since scully said something along those lines in episode 12, now BOTH of them have threatened to kill whoever hurts the other! <3

(and scully did it first! despite mulder being more outwardly protective! let's psychoanalyze THAT!)

we also witness the FBI agents being mean to mulder when he leaves the room :( spooky mulder the alien guy :( they don't see his vision :( workplace cliques are still a thing in the FBI :(

but he tells everyone that this mission is really important to him so they have to do their best which was. another emotional moment for me!

using a bible salesman as an undercover agent to confirm the kidnapper's identity was so funny. now every single time a missionary comes to my door i'm gonna think of that.

scully tried to get possessed jack to remember their times together in order to snap him out of the possession and he remembers their journey to his parent's cabin :( but he slowly dies due to a lack of insulin and then shoots his former accomplice which puts scully in a very difficult place emotionally. where do you even begin unpacking that?

mulder gives her the watch she had given jack as a birthday present and she notices that it stopped at the exact moment he was being revived, which mulder had earlier suggested was a sign of possession. she asks what it means.

mulder, in his infinite wisdom, waits and says, "it means whatever you want it to mean"

(which, i think, is the right thing to say. how do you tell your coworker that you think her ex was possessed upon the revival she insisted upon? how do you tell scully, who has a strict worldview shaped by science and facts, that someone she loved was lost beyond recognition? that the pain jack inflicted upon her wasn't even done by jack himself? how do you tell her that the man she once loved and spent the winter in a cabin with was gone long before he put a gun to her head, and that their last moments together weren't even genuine?

you don't. you set aside how desperately you want her to see the world as you do, as a place inhabited by unexplained phenomena just waiting to be studied. you tell her, gently, to make of it what she will, let her endlessly spinning mind search for a logical conclusion of her own to find her peace in. just once, you don't tell her you think it was otherworldly, no matter how long you've tried to get her to believe so in the past. you have some compassion, you sense her grief is heavy, and you tell her goodnight instead.)

[clownkiwi]

genuinely hate the way heaven and hell is set up in hazbin like. in all honesty. whats the point of using the dantes inferno layers of hell if you are only allowed to use the pride layer. for every sinner. why the fuck would that make sense. like. a serial killer would be in the like. idfk wrath or lust (bloodlust) layer. dantes inferno isnt even fucking canonical to the bible.

the angel designs are flat, their movements feel stilted to me, all the humans in heaven just have a color swapped monster design just like the sinners.

and no fucking shit people think alastar is fucking white, you only find out that he mixed race from somewhere else. i only found out through my friend that the guy is half black because he saw a video or something of her drawing alaster in his human form (this sounds aggressive, but i am not doing that towards you this is in total agreement wirh you)

also i think adam as an angel is stupid as shit from like the standpoint of someone who is interested in the bible in the way greek myth isnt "canonical"/is separate from greek gods

the designs look like theyre still a fucking pain to animate, and i do genuinely like a lot of the designs, i think angel dust is iconic and uh. the bat cat guy looks pretty cool, i think theyre more for like. comic books.

story feels flat and rushed, and very much like i'm watching a childrens show for adults, and i fucking hate adult shows that think putting sex, seears, blood and gore in their product is soooooo fucking mature and cool of them and its just boring and samey and it fucking sucks. if hazbin was nade by someone else i'm sufe the peoduct wouldve been handled so much better and treated the audience like adults

LITERALLY THIS THIS THIS!!!!

for the first part, of the lore. the lore gets so much more fucking confusing and lamer if you watch the spinoff helluva boss. they go into more detail & spend more time in the other layers for each episode, but theyre all so lame and predictable. the lust layer is pink and full of clubs & bars because. romance??? the greed layer is green and pretty much chicago, especially with the demon mobs (demon mobs Should sound more fun). the wrath ring is red/orange and like The Middle Western Desert that literally takes place during the Wild West from USAmerica. LIKE they made dantes inferno LAME!!! wheres the imagination??? was the best you could come up with for greed "chicago" and wrath "the wild west"???? come on

and the way heaven and hell are addressed is so much more confusing. like. the angels have a Moral code Not To Kill, even if theyre demons (in the episode the angel opposite of IMP are focused on, they lose their jobs when they indirectly kill a guy they weren't supposed to kill), which comes into direct conflict with what the angels Were ALREADY DOING IN HAZBIN???

itd be one thing if they were taking place apart from each other in the timeline, and we don't really know that ATM, but they're supposed to take place in the same universe, so they never really seem to make up their minds on what they wanna do with that???

AND LIKE the core concept of hazbin hotel is broken from the very worldbuilding the show is built on. no demon would ever wanna work on redeeming themselves by just going to a hotel, and even in cases when they do, its really just to sabotage each other, before they solve their problems like. my fucking little pony. i cant believe this was a show made for the same target group as bojack horseman or moral orel, it makes me sick

and this idea isnt broken either!!! it can work!!! the good place worked and improved on this idea In Strides and did it with much more maturity and respect for its audience than vivziepop could even do for two of her shows

like hazbin hotel & helluva boss could be improved upon, they just need Better Writers and a Stronger Vision for where the story could go. im not even being a hater Just Because (altho i am), i'm just really upset that this was the direction the show is seemingly going to with no stop. ive seen people that have looked up to vivziepop as inspiration and felt deeply betrayed when the story was shit, when the writing was horrible, its really disappointing to see. i think the only people left watching this are people who think what vivziepop is doing is good, even if she spends more than half her time online looking up her shows to try to fight back against any and all criticism

Fandomless & Fandom Shenanigans

a little about me:

21

Lit/semi lit. I'm very versatile when it comes to reply lenght, from throwing out bibles to quicker and shorter replies, as long as we agree on something, i'm okay with it.

A variety of ideas. I have tons of ideas for plots and stuff must of them are not all fleshed out but it's something... Right?...

Pretty active, I try to always reply at least once a day, I might have some stutters since I study but if I haven't replied to our rp in a while i'll make it my priority to reply to you

Comunicative, I would like to know if my partner is having problems or if they don't understand something, if you share your ideas without fear no matter how dumb they might sound is even better! And like most people, I value honesty and if you don't wanna keep up with the rp just say so

Willing to double up

What i'm looking for:

18+

Someone creative

At least one reply a day

And now some plots and the fandoms I want to do:

Fandomless:

Set in a dark fantasy world, a veteran mercenary is paid to hunt down a very powerful corrupted wizard who is on a journey to destroy the world, they start out as enemies but with each fight they come to understand eachother a little better. One day the mercenary had chased the wizard to the edge of a cliff, with Nowhere else to escape it seemed like this would be the end of their rivalry when the ground beneath the wizard suddenly gives away and falls, the mercenary acts without thinking and jumps in to save the wizard only for both to fall into the river, after getting out of the river they realize they maybe are more than just deadly rivals, and their battles have actually brought them closer...

After a long and cruel war, the Holy Kingdom of Montclaire is utterly defeated and almost destroyed by the opossing Kingdom of Midland, with their King dead and fully ocupated by their enemies, the surviving Prince of Montclaire has no other choise but surrender if he wants his people to survive. After some years of reconstruction, the Prince, now the King of Montclaire, accepts to marry one of the daughters of the King of Midland to show his loyalty to the King (and also as a way for the King of Midland to keep an eye on the King of Montclaire), at first they had some hard days getting used to eachother but ended up falling in love with eachother even if by all means they should be enemies, now after years of peace the Kingdom of Midland sparks a war with the Kirk Empire and plans to send the soldiers of Montclaire and it's King to spear-head his war, unable to do anything against the orders of his father, the queen would have to watch how her husband is sent to a war that it's not his and get twisted by the cruelty of battle

in a future where the humans have expanded way beyond the stars strict rules are put on place for every civilization and planet, those not willing to follow the rules take the sea of stars in their own hands and live outside society on their own these "outlaws" are hunted down and killed for they are of no use for humanity. A young outlaw wandered space aimlessly, looking for what he called "true freedom" for years he wandered until one day he found a tiny icy moon, he landed his ship thinking it was safe to make some repairs but he ends up finding a woman en closed in a crystal, he frees her from her cold Cage and takes her into his ship where after she wakes up, he finds out she has had her memories wiped, with no clue to where to go they set out to find out who the woman really is.

Fandoms and ships:

Hazbin/Helluva: would really love to do Striker x Stella, also would like Adam x Lute, zestial x Carmilla

Adventure time: looking for someone to play Fionna for a Fiolee rp or against Hunter

Wakfu: I'm really okay with playing any characters or any ships (tho, i've only watched the first three seasons right now)

Bee & puppycat: would really like to do Bee x Deckard, Cass x Toast

That's all for now, thanks for reading! If you are interested like this post and i'll reach out to you.

MONSTER RATING: Jean Jacket (Nope)

Nope (2022) is the third movie from writer and director Jordan Peele, and the inaugural review of this blog because I cannot stop thinking about this movie. It’s a horror movie. It’s a western. It’s about the cruel, dehumanization of spectacle. It’s about the erasure of black voices in Hollywood. It’s about what it means to really see something for what it is. There’s so much to even think about, it’s so dense and laden with ideas that you could probably write a thesis paper about it.

The plot boils down to this: OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) runs a horse ranch and rental service for film sets out in the Californian desert, with help from his sister Emerald “Em” Haywood (Keke Palmer). After the unusual death of their father (Keith David) by way of a coin falling from the sky and piercing his brain, the ranch is beset by money troubles and OJ is forced to sell many of his horses to the theme park next door, run by former child star Ricky “Jupe” Park (Steven Yeun), who is currently commercializing the tragic massacre of “Gordy’s Home,” in which a frenzied chimpanzee killed two of the cast members and disfigured one of them, for fame and profit.

Things start getting weird when an unidentified flying object - which the Haywoods later name Jean Jacket after Em’s horse - begins appearing around the ranch, abducting their horses and causing all electronic equipment to fail around it. We later discover this UFO is actually a giant, living organism that had been lured into the area by Jupe in hopes of taming it and turning it into an attraction for his theme park. This inevitably gets him, his entire family, and most of the park staff and guests eaten and digested by Jean Jacket.

The Haywoods, along with the eccentric electronic store employee Angel Torres (Brandon Perea) and the film director Antlers Holst (Michael Wincott), begin planning a way to get photographic evidence of this creature so that the nightmare will end and their ranch will be saved from money troubles.

That plot synopsis covers the jist of what occurs but, in all honesty, feels like it only scratches the surface of what is really occurring. Take the Gordy’s Home incident for example, what I would consider one of the thematic throughlines of the entire film. So thematically central, in fact, that the movie starts on the scene of a bloodied chimpanzee among the corpses of its co-stars. Actually, the movie starts with a Bible quote, Nahum 3:6 - “I will cast abominable filth upon you, make you vile, and make you a spectacle,” which I feel sums up one of its major themes and ties back again to the massacre; the inherent dehumanization of spectacle.

Jupe, at that point a child actor, is the only actor that manages to survive unscathed from the incident. When we first get introduced to Jupe, we see his room filled with memorabilia from the show, as well as numerous references to the massacre which he plays off with jokes. He’s clearly traumatized from the incident, and yet he charges people to come into this room and gawk at what happened. For fame, money, or just to suppress his trauma, he allows himself to become spectacle and lets himself be dehumanized by the people who laugh at his trauma.

And it is this desire for spectacle that gets him killed by Jean Jacket. Jean Jacket is the ultimate unknown, a bewildering, fantastical creature that Jupe knows will wow his audience. However, Jean Jacket refuses to be a spectacle. As OJ learns, the thing that most enrages the flying saucer is direct eye contact. If you look into it, you will die. It’s ironic, Jean Jacket is the most spectacular creature in this movie, central to so many horrific but extraordinary sights, but no, you cannot look at them. You will not dehumanize this creature. The only time it gets its photo taken, the only time the public finally sees it, is when it dies. It will cast an abominable spectacle upon you, but the moment eyes are set on it, it will die. The same way Gordy was turned into spectacle, both on the show and when it went on a rampage, before being killed by the police. You cannot look directly at it.

I have to go on to rate this monster but you can see what I mean when I say I can’t stop thinking about this movie right? Jean Jacket as a monster represents so many things and if I went into each and every thing the review would be ten pages long. I insist, watch this movie, you won’t regret it.

- MONSTER RATING - JEAN JACKET -

CREEPINESS: 9/10 - Genuinely, it is rare for a movie to get me this fucking tense while watching it. So many things about Jean Jacket just elicit pure fight-or-flight instinct from me as it depicts some of the most horrifyingly ingenious ways to create a terrifying monster.

Where to begin? The fact that we constantly hear it screaming, and that we later find out that the screaming is not actually coming from it but from the people trapped inside begging to be released? The fact that it’s the size of several school buses, a kaiju in its own right, but travels completely silently, hiding itself behind clouds? The way its disruptive electromagnetic field shuts down all electronic equipment, plunging the area into an extremely tense silence, only to be broken by its echoing clicks and moans?

Jean Jacket makes you feel unsafe. The movie effectively conveys how this creature is a predator, silently stalking behind clouds so that it can pounce on you the moment you’re disarmed. The vore scene, which I will discuss later, drills into your head the mortifying fate which is set out for you the moment you are captured - you will be eaten, and digested alive. Jean Jacket reduces you to prey; insignificant prey, like a mouse completely unaware of the eagle that has already set its sights on it a mile in the sky. You were already dead the moment you stepped into its territory.

I’ve never felt more terrified for the fate of the characters, I nearly screamed when Angel was almost consumed by Jean Jacket. Jordan and the animation team behind Jean Jacket deserve phenomenal praise, this is by far one of the more horrifying movie monsters ever thought up. I’ve seen posts discuss how, after seeing the movie, they’re suddenly afraid to stand underneath the sky. Do you understand how terrifying something has to be in order to make someone scared of the fucking sky? What a wonderful monster, I love it to bits.

WETNESS: 8/10 - We need to talk about the vore scene. The brief thirty second moment in which we see all the park attendees travel through Jean Jacket’s digestive system. The claustrophobic space in which we see the innocent park goers - men, women, and children all - become trapped inside its intestines as its guts pulsate, sending them further and further inside. Wailing, crying, retching and vomiting echo throughout as Jupe’s wife bumps up against the viscous, partially digested remains of a horse, and screams. None of these people make it out alive, they die in one of the cruelest ways imaginable.

I need you to understand something: I’ve always said that being digested would be the most horrifying way to die. Trapped inside this dark, fleshy pocket with absolutely no means of escape, no way to survive. To be slowly eaten away painfully by digestive enzymes as you scream in futility, knowing that you will die this way. This scene warped my face into sheer abject terror and it is absolutely fucking killer. The phenomenal sound design comes out in full force again as you hear every squelch and throbbing of Jean Jacket’s intestines, and the horrified screams of all the park attendees. You can practically feel yourself getting drenched in foul smelling intestinal fluid and stomach acid; the stench of vomit and rotting partially-digested flesh violating your nostrils.

Let’s not forget the scene in which Jean Jacket torments the Haywood ranch by vomiting the hundreds of gallons of park goer blood all over the house. You can see it traveling down the window panes, this viscous, almost congealed red goop of viscera and intestinal bile. These scenes are one of many that made the movie, and this goes without saying: extremely wet! We’re just a little ways away from perfect wetness as I do not believe the exterior of Jean Jacket is all that wet, in fact I would think it would be not too dissimilar from shark’s skin - coarse and rough, perhaps a bit rubbery. But make no mistake - when Jean Jacket eats you, you will know wetness.

DATEABILITY: 2/10 - Listen, I could talk about the insane head Jean Jacket could give you, I am painfully aware of the powerful suction force behind that mouth. I am also aware of how gorgeous its final form is, its dress could make anyone at the Met Gala jealous. Good for a one night stand but I’m here to talk about its compatibility as a romantic partner, and I doubt the relationship could go far with most people.

Let’s talk about the biggest deal breaker: the lack of eye contact. Sure, this is not an insurmountable hurdle, I’m sure the charismatic among you could woo a monster without making eye contact. However, responding to eye contact with horrific consumption and digestion feels like taking things a little too far. Jean Jacket has a lot of boundaries that need to be respected, and you should be ready for the consequences should you break them even once. To some, that’s already way too much baggage to deal with, but let’s say you do successfully manage to get with this flying cephalopod, what then?

I hope you like sitting and waiting, because this creature is an ambush predator, and spends most of its free time hiding inside a cloud digesting its food. Hobbies, interests? Throw them out the window, the only thing Jean Jacket needs in its life is a horse to eat. You might feel a lot of distance between you and the UFO, not only does it communicate very infrequently, but you might feel left behind when it travels into the upper atmosphere to hunt an exploitative theme park owner. Let’s just say that a relationship with this monster would not be a very rewarding one, and as beautiful as this beast is, I would suggest finding someone that doesn’t put so much distance between you two.

FINAL RATING: TOO PRETTY FOR PICTURE / 10

[just-a-whumping-racoon-with-wifi]

So i’ve unofficially called the last 12 months/year “the year i watched supernatural” because honesty it’s just a better way to face the last 12 months. Anyway here’s my unrequested thoughts on supernatural. 

It helped heal my religious trauma lol. (also spoilers)

Things i LOVED

The sibling trope/dynamic from the first couple seasons. Whenever they put cosmic importance on siblings i ate that shit up. That’s so fun. 

The vessel sagas. See above but Michael possessing Dean to kill Lucifer who’s possessing Sam??? Fucking love it. That’s so great. Also trying to force (aka torture) sam to accept Lucifer? Fantastic. 

The canonical answer that ‘god likes Sam and Dean so he gives them stupid hero luck”. I love that. That they didn’t get flat tires or sick or whatever while he liked them because he was watching out for their lactose intolerant asses. 

The SCOOBY DOO EPISODE. ENOUGH SAID AMAZING I LOVE 

The yellowed eye man plot. I know it’s like the first one but GOD i love everything about that arc. Sam’s visions?? The episode where the demon transports a bunch of them to test them?? Hell yeah

All the possessions. They were so fun. 

ALL THE EXPERIMENTAL WEIRD EPISODES. Like when they’re just office coworkers?? When they go to our world? That’s so fucking fun. 

That one scene when Crowley tortures that one pizza delivery angel? Fuck those are the best whumperflies in visusal format for me. Hell yeah. 

Things i liked 

Cass teleporting so randomly. 

The idea that humans made ‘gods�� like the old gods because wanted something to worship. Nice i like that take. 

“Squirrel and Moose” as nicknames. 

Demon traps and the little tattoos that keep them from being possessed. Very visual symbols. Also the black eye blink. Iconic.

Bobby 

The bunker (not the men of letters… just the bunker) 

How they used the same motel set and just changed the wallpaper and the room divider. I missed the hotel rooms. 

Garth 

Sam’s health conscious streak 

Nick as lucifer was so fun to watch. I was genuinely a bit sad when lucifer was possessing someone else/died. 

The gate to heaven is in a children’s playground. That’s funny, it feels irreverent, love it. 

Prophets. I like the prophets. 

GHOSTFACERS 

Don’t kill me i think i liked the last episode 

Things i hated/didn’t like 

The steins. Oh my god i had to stop watching. God we understand. We got it. Please don’t spell it out like that it hurt to watch 

The men of letters as legacy. They should have just found the bunker and been like “this is mine now”. The men of letters as a thing? Meh okay fine. 

Rowena never fully grew on me. Her accent sounded so fake the entire time i was half expecting her to drop it one day and be like “oh it was for fun” 

Oz. God, just stick to the bible. 

The needless double casting. Specifically chuck being god. I like chuck as a prophet, i love that they fought god, but chuck being god? Stupid. Annoying. Damaged the plot of the show. Should have just cast another dude to play god. 

The parallel universes. Meh leave it 

The episode in the girls highschool where they made a supernatural play. I had to skip that episode too cringy 

Sam’s beard 

The Campbell family was DUMB. Dumb and made no sense. 

Cass in “the empty”.... Just… what. If felt rushed and wrong and maybe it didn’t even stick?? IDK just weird and bad. 

The mark of cain was tiring. Okay concept but tiring and non too interesting.  

Mary coming back. That was weird. 

The british men of letters 

Sam in old man wig

Overall more things i enjoyed than hated but that is because im a positive little son of a bitch. Anyway rating is like 8/10 if you know what you’re getting into.

Anyway time to start watching season one again.

[papirouge]

men are also stoned to death for adultery, there's a case of it in iran.. idk why they portray it like it only happens to women. Ironically, this practice has roots with ancient Jews (idk if you've read that story about Jesus allegedly saying "he who has not sinned cast the first stone"). The bible does call for adulterers to be put to death, and if u ask orthodox jews if they support this, most would say yes.

1) "there's a case of it in Iran" I love how your own choice betrays how bs your "but what about men??" narrative is. If you can pinpoint one case of something, that's precisely how exceptional it is compared to the plenty other cases where stoning is targeting women. It wouldn't occur to you to say "oh there's this one case being stoned in Iran " because stoning women is actual normal in those cultures.

2) just because male violence occasionally targets other doesn't dismiss the fact that male violence is mainly targeting women. Ask yourself who made those Islamic laws. Your ask is weird bc it flip flops between islamic culture (stoning), the Jewish Law, and Christianity, which, despite some similarities, have vastly different application of justice and punishment. For example, out of all religion, Christianity is the only one to forbid violence or death as a punishment.

And yes, the Israelites had to stone to death adulterers, but also married women who lied about being virgin, people who broke the Sabbath... But Christians don't abide to these law anymore. That's why you're correct when you say "the Bible calls for adulterers to be put to death" BUT just because it's in the Bible= prescription for Christians. I think that's one of the biggest misconception people have against Christians : they fail to understand the difference between Jewish and Christian prerogatives. Jews can kill because they're still under the Law - Christians cannot.

That's why I compell everyone to be EXTREMELY sceptical of Christians making hoop to argue argue it's aKtcHualLy ok for Christians to kill (quoting the "sell your cloak and buy a sword" verse while NEVER having the honesty of telling the rest of the story where Jesus rebukes Peter who precisely used his sword to harm a man) because they do the mistake of feeling entitled to Christian privileges (Grace) BUT ALSO Jewish Law prerogatives (killing). And the oddest thing is that while they claim Jewish law prerogatives, they are somehow much less prone to abide by Jewish law OBLIGATIONS (circumcision, sabbath you know the one where you're forbidden to leave your house beyond than a certain distance, work, and have to light your house with but a handful of candles 🙃, go out of their way to stone adulterers & those who don't keep the Sabbath, etc.) which cannot go without the other. That's how you know how wack their theology is lol

Sam & Jack + SPN parenting moments

I've been thinking about Jack & Sam and their parenting dynamic. Are there some great moments you like? Here are some of mine! These are some notes for me to come back to:

(below cut)

///

Molding Jack

It's like a seesaw. Throughout Sam's parenting arc, he will struggle between allowing too much independence and guiding/molding. Sometimes, he pulls away when he shouldn't. Sometimes, he cloaks his control in a mission or training. Sam professes to Donatello to want to mold Jack the right way (13x02). Donatello seems a little dubious of the phrasing:

SAM: He seems to have a real attachment to his mom, but only kinda a fuzzy idea about his dad. And his mom, Kelly, was a really good person, so that makes me think Jack can be molded the right way. DONATELLO: Mm, molded. I hope you’re right.

Jack as lion + the unfortunate reality of his super strength (angels are LION-coded)

Jack as lion in terms of cosmic hierarchy. The significance of the lion in the Bible - tremendous significance - has to do with its stature as the king of beasts. Here, these are, symbolically, angels. God, Cas, and Jack are all grouped as lions here (13x02):

DONATELLO: Oh. Speaking not as a prophet but as a scientist, I don’t think teaching him is in the cards. It’s like asking a lion not to be a lion. SAM: (angrily) But this is not a lion! This is a human! DONATELLO: With a strong dose of God juice. DEAN: Okay, that’s it. I’m done, all right? ‘Cause he’s not God, he’s not Cas, he’s not Simba. He’s the friggin’ Devil! [When Dean turns to address JACK, he’s gone.]

Jack & Sam + training

A first, Sam does not outright reveal to Jack why they're working so hard at training.

The pencil could be viewed as metaphor for John's necessary training; it's also a motif of Sam as keeper of the books/Man of Letters.

In true Sam fashion, he is overanalyzing the situation , reading The Drama of the Gifted Child.

Even thought Dean is terrifying to Jack, murderously bearing down on him and threatening to kill him, Jack immediately responds well to his honesty. Because he can sense Sam's half-truths.

In fact, Sam doesn't reveal his actual motivation for training Jack until Dean accidentally reveals it during an argument.

Sam vs Lucifer: the custody showdown

The power struggle between Sam and Lucifer in Apocalypse!World is great

It's very frustrating when Lucifer communicates with and gets through to Jack easier than Sam can with regards to fighting Michael

Sam loves him more unconditionally, and Jack is tragically unaware of this at first

Yet, there's something dishonest in Sam solving the problem by leaving Lucifer behind in Apocalypse World and not telling Jack why; In the script, it shows Sam feeling unsettled by Jack's lost and sad expression

Sam is completely at sea when Jack goes off the deep end and misuses his powers. HOWEVER, Cas and Dean aren't caught as off-guard by this...

When Jack is choking and nearly straight up murdering a gas station worker and Sam just standing there like o_o while Cas and Dean actively try to subdue him

Cas immediately moves to discipline him

Dean immediately moves to discipline him

Both Dean & Cas have instincts to discipline and create firm boundaries (this includes how they mutually handle Claire)

Which makes them *feel* different as parents

Sam vs Lucifer: the custody showdown, part 2

According to Nick, Jack breaks Lucifer's heart by choosing humans

There's implication that Lucifer liked killing Maggie, but there's also some terminal implications that hunters also like hunting; implications for cosmic hierarchy & moral relativism are high, even revisited with Dumah

Lucifer concludes that Jack is closer to HIS position in the cosmic hierarchy, and in some ways, he is right about that

THEN we get this great showdown where Sam protects Jack from Lucifer and urges Jack to kill him instead; themes of altruism; martyrdom

It's a great Sam moment!

Sam & Jack + loss of Jack's powers

Sam accidentally ignores Jack a little bit after he loses his powers and Dean goes missing

He's also a workaholic (Cas, too), but Cas actively apologizes once he realizes

This probably feels like whiplash to Jack, who was heavily relied-upon by Sam when Mary was missing in AU Earth

Sam does not trust himself to wield Hell power as boy-king; "there will be no new king of Hell!"

BUT he later yields and accepts that power in a morally dubious Queen (Rowena). Interesting!

He also trusts raw, godly power and the fate of the universe to Jack himself; to the heir of Lucifer, better molded

Sam again ignores Jack ("dumps him on Cas") and turning into a workaholic when the AU hunters are killed, even though Jack had burned off his soul and suffered a grave injury, Sam is too wrapped up in his own grief to notice!

Cas & Dean are forced to work in tandem, juggling Sam and Jack's plight between the two of them, and ignoring Dean's own Michael trauma

Again, Sam wants to "check out" by disappearing into Charming Acres; references to margaritas

Terminal seasons Sam & Jack

Clearly, no one warned Mary about Jack's soul issue. It may not have mattered, because she fought a war with Jack and trusts him; as she says DO IT in game night with a steely devil-may-care attitude; it's called out in the script that "even if she knew, she'd still have chosen the mission"

Jack is lion-(angel)-coded again when he's proud at the way he killed Nick

And yet Mary is not wrong...overkill is a psychological sign to look out for in battle conditions / soldier families

Tragically, Jack blames Mary for her own death

Sam dissociates and is paralyzed by these tragedies, and just spends a lot of time standing around and watching things unfold until it reaches a fever-pitch level of bad

When Jack ascends to Heaven and takes on missions with Dumah, Jack remarks that being and angel is nice because "purifying is kinda like hunting" on a higher level

This again affirms Jack's natural place in the cosmic hierarchy; the tensions and implications for for humans-are-to-angels as monsters-are-to-humans

They're ALL willing to put Jack in a kind of box, as delaying tactic or devastating defeat; Sam being willing to put Jack in the Ma'lak box (as was Dean), and as was Cas wants to study the cage in the back half of Moriah

Sam dissociates from Mary's death

The weird "I killed Mary, too, by being born" echo

Jack deciding to readily accept death as payment for his crimes

Sam dissociating from Belphagor

Sam killing Rowena, being unwilling to process and "can't even breathe" about it all

Sam + distracting himself from Jack's death and trials

Arguably, Dean is having a much bigger outward reaction to Jack's death and Cas's leaving

Because Sam distracts himself

In Golden Time; Sam starts throwing himself into the Eileen stuff, again references to margaritas and hazy goldenness; not "checking out" exactly because he and Eileen certainly have a moment where it crashes into something more real and difficult; but it STARTS that way

It starts as another of Sam's "checking out of life" tendencies

In the Trap, the horror at seeing Eileen so easily puppeted

Despite misgivings, Sam is still going along with Death's plan and getting behind Jack's apparent cannibalism

- Sam: "You're the only one who can (save the world)" sometime in season 15

- Jack alternatingly referring to Winchesters as fathers but post-soul bomb as friends, showing he's distancing from them

- Sam: "Sacrificing yourself is brave but I don't like it." This is Sam being faced with grayness; that being a parent can't be all about independence! It's also an echo of Sam throwing himself into Hell, the Hell trials, and how strangely acquiescent everyone was about Dean's Amara soul bomb

- Sam starting to cotton on to "we don't have a choice" issues in the narrative as bad things

- Sam giving up hope in The Trap; Sam giving up hope again in Inherit the Earth (and Dean and Jack try to keep him going)

- Sam ultimately choosing sacrificing Jack to Destiny, Power, and Duty in 15x19 (sons get sacrificed to war, for glory in besting the enemy, and they don't come home)

---

Bonus! Sam's struggles with Claire in terms of allowing independence but needing boundaries to keep her safe

Bonus! Magda's shame and purifying herself through pain and punishment

[thebookofnehemiah]

"The Thermometer." From the Book of Nehemiah, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Lions that Lay," 9: 9-12.

The Confession of the Jewish People to the Nsh continues. We cannot continue to accede to the Mashiach while man is wallowing in sin like a bunch of domestic hogs. Stark honesty regarding the behavior of our politicians and humanity's role in their relentless acts of corruption is needed and not tomorrow or the day after.

God does not need to see anything, we do. The reason Moses splits the Sea in fact, is to make it clear God will not tolerate confederation, only federation, and this means all corruption must be fought and ended.

This is not clear in the telling of the Torah, nor was it completely clear to the Israelites, which is why God led them by a pillar of cloud during the day, which means God is a High Priest, He can give us the Torah, but ultimately, the Pillar of Fire a devil, the fruits of our actions, is the real mechanism of truth in life:

9 “You saw the suffering of our ancestors in Egypt; you heard their cry at the Red Sea.[b]

10 You sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his officials and all the people of his land, for you knew how arrogantly the Egyptians treated them. You made a name for yourself, which remains to this day. 

11 You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters. 

12 By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 9: You heard their cry at the Red Sea.

The Red Sea is 185, אחה‎ ‎"join together." The Red Sea parts, but it is the moment of the Mashiach when all mankind joins together to kill its enemies. The Number is 5497, הדט‎‎ז‎, hadetz, "the heat."

The word thero is used for Jewish heat. It is used for love and also for hate. It is long since time the enemies of the Jewish people felt the heat. The Nsh must not allow the enemies of the Synagogue to live.

The etymology in fact mentions a hormone infused youth with a "downy beard" who is called by God to challenge the enemies of the Jewish people.

"The verb θερω (thero) means to heat or make warm and is, for obvious reasons, associated both with fire (πυρ, pur) and love (αγαπη, agape), which in Biblical symbolic jargon in turn are associated with light (φαω, phao) and thus wisdom (σοφια, sophia). Also note the striking and noteworthy similarity with the word θηριον (therion), animal.

Our verb θερω (thero) is not used in the Bible, but from it stem the following words:

The familiar adjective θερμος (thermos), meaning hot, from which come English words such as thermometer and thermostat. This adjective does not occur independently in the New Testament, but is part of the following compound derivatives:

The verb θερμαινω (thermaino), meaning to warm oneself, particularly by a fire. This verb is used 6 times; see full concordance. The noun θερμη (therme), meaning warmth or heat, particularly from a fire (Acts 28:3 only).

The noun θερος (theros), literally the "warmth", is the common word for summer (Matthew 24:32, Mark 13:28 and Luke 21:30 only). In the classics this noun also serves to describe the products of the "warmth", which most often are harvested summer fruits but on flowery occasions also the downy beards of hormone-driven youths.

Note that the familiar Latin word calor, meaning warmth (hence our English word "calorie"), comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "kele-", which also yields the Sanskrit word carad, meaning harvest. From this noun in turn come:

The verb θεριζω (therizo), literally means to "do the warmth thing" and specifically to "summer", or to pass the summer in whatever pleasant way, and even more specifically, to do summer-work such as mowing and harvesting, which places our verb often in juxtaposition with the verb σπειρω (speiro), to sow. Note how the connection between wisdom and harvest is effortlessly clear in Greek. Our verb occurs 21 times in the New Testament, see full concordance, and from it in turn derive:

The noun θερισμος (therismos), literally "the warmth thing" and the common word for harvest. This noun occurs 13 times; see full concordance.

The noun θεριστης (theristes), literally "the doer of the warmth thing" and the common word for harvester or reaper (Matthew 13:30 and 13:39 only)."

v. 10: Make a name for yourself. The Emperor Basil of Byzantium grew weary of being attacked by the Bulgars. He rounded them all up, and put out the eyes of every last one of them, but for one, whom he allowed to retain one eye so he could lead the rest home. This is my strategy for the Mormons, the Jehovah's Worthlesses, anyone who who speaks one word of bullshit about Jews ever again.

The Number is 11596, יאה‎‎טו‎, "sign your signature."

v. 11: Hurl our pursuers into the deep. The Number is 11596, יאהו‎ ‎, "do what is proper and befitting."

Now I sent the UN and International Criminal Court a letter this summer stating the attacks on October 7, 2023 were premeditated by a bunch of cocksuckers located here in Washington DC. They discussed an armed assault on Israel in my presence, claiming it belongs to them. These circumstances were fully observed by the Secret Service, the FBI and other intelligence agencies. I had conversations with them about the danger to mankind posed by the Church and Donald Trump and nothing, not a single thing was done in spite of the fact they were informed and present during the moments the plans to attack Israel were in progress.

Then the attack took place, then I discovered the perpetrators were verily Americans not Arabs, and provided proof. Then the mastermind, Donald Trump was elected president.

I expect heads to roll over this.

v. 12: Light the way. The Number is 9576, ץהעו‎, "they were angry."

I'm not angry, I just want to watch my enemies suffer and die as painfully and as promptly as possible.

For the record, here is my letter regarding hard evidence the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and our current President Elect are responsible for the attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. I will not allow them to succeed by blaming the few legitimate Palestinians that are left nor the Muslim faith.

Information and Evidence Unit Office of the Prosecutor Post Office Box 19519 2500 CM The Hague The Netherlands otp.informationdesk@icc-cpi.int

Dear Sirs,

I uncovered evidence of a significant terrorism operation located, funded, and protected by the Government of the United States of America, known as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, headquartered in Salt Lake City Utah.

Persons affiliated with both the US Gov and the LDS tunneled underneath the sovereign soil of Israel and other nations nearby and then perpetrated a horrific terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.

The pattern of the tunnels is consistent with a mythical pilgrimage called the Lehi Nephi Trail which is believed to be authentic by the Mormons. They colluded with Donald Trump and the Republican Party during his 2016-2020 term to excavate the tunnel version of the Trail and then exploited their hidden advantage on October 7.

The patterns are identical.

Gaza Tunnel Network:

Lehi-Nephi Trail: 

I am officially identifying myself as a plaintiff on behalf of the people of Israel and all victims of this terrorism plot, and request appropriate legal actions be taken against the existing White House and those responsible for the attack.

Donald Trump must be remanded to prison at once, and his party affiliation shuttered indefinitely. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints must likewise be shuttered forever, its leadership, administrators, and members tried as war criminals without the rights afforded to ordinary criminals as the law allows.

In addition, restitution which is required after terrorist attacks must be disbursed to the Israeli people as recognition of the remorse by the American people for the horror inflicted upon them.

...

Every member of the LDS and the Administration in America that aided in the effort to sculpt those tunnels and kill those Jewish settlers must die. I will settle for nothing less.

So the Confession needed by the Jewish people must include the fact they have not done all they can to repel and dispose of the threat coming ashore from America and drown it in the sea as it very much deserves.

GOD OF TRUTH!

GOD OF TRUTH

John 17:17

 

God is truly true! The saying, “the truth will set you free” has almost disappeared from society, but it’s not just the truth setting you free; it’s also the truth you know, acknowledge, and accept that sets you free. The God of truth, one of God’s names, expresses His faithfulness, honesty, and truthfulness, based on His trustworthiness.

Romans 3:4 says only God is true.

God sanctifying us by His truth means making us holy or pure, consecrating or separating us from earthly and ungodly issues to devoted or dedicated service to Him.

What is truth? Pontius Pilate asked Jesus but didn’t wait for an answer. Society teaches that there is no absolute truth, that what you say is not the truth, and that what others say is not the truth. What is the truth then? The absolute truth is based only on the word of God.

Truth is not something; truth is someone, and when you find Him, the one described in John 1:1-2, you find the truth. Jesus called Himself the truth in John 14:6. Revelation 3:14 goes on to call Him faithful and true, while Jesus called the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth.

The truth is not how you perceive it or how other people see things; there are no shades to the truth. Truth is absolute.

The Bible is the invaluable and inherent word of God. It’s not just a book but a library of God’s laws to His citizens, love letters to His lovers, instructions to His labourers, counsel to His children, and direction for His adventurous sojourners. “Thy word is truth” makes God’s word in the Bible greater than every other published book.

If God says the word is spirit and life in John 6:63, it means that every word of God is breathing and incapable of lying. Truth equates to freedom, which gives life, while lies kill and destroy according to John 8:32 and John 10:10.

The word of God is not debatable; it does not work with human reasoning, and it’s not according to your idea of right or wrong, because only God is truth, and His word abides forever according to Matthew 24:35. You either believe the God of truth or you don’t; you don’t get to choose the portions of the Bible you believe in.

God promises His unconditional love and the gift of salvation to all who believe in Him. John 3:16 is a well-known verse that encapsulates this promise: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Has God ever lied to you? Do you have evidence of lies in the word or character of God? Has God changed His mind about you and the words written concerning you? Numbers 23:19 and Proverbs 30:5.

There is recorded evidence of God’s truth in the Bible. Human stories testify to the God of truth, physical records prove God’s truth, and your spirit witnesses to God’s truth. You do not need anyone or anything to show you the God of truth; He is all around you and within the journals of the Bible.

The word of the God of truth has creative power and can bring things from nothing into something, according to Hebrews 11:3. Through faith, we understand that material things of the world can have no reference to God’s truth. The promises of the God of truth are guaranteed to not fail until they are accomplished, as seen in Isaiah 55:11.

God does not lie; He has never and will never fail. Trust His word; He keeps it. He’s the God of truth.

PRAYER: Lord, help me guard my ears against every deceptive lie of the enemy and be attentive to your truth always. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Shalom,

WOMEN OF LIGHT INT’L PRAYER MIN

[saraloveliness-blog]

Part of me thought that Jesus was a hypocrite, but I knew that wasn't possible. Part of me thought the Bible was untrue and inconsistent, but I knew that wasn't possible.

Jesus said to love your enemies. It says in the back of Novum Testamentum Graece that this means to "cherish, show or prove one's love; long for, desire, place first in one's affections." It says in Thayer's that it means prompt obedience when the object of the love is God. I have procrastinated this blog post big time. When the object is another human being, according to Thayer's it means to have a preference for and to care about their welfare.

As far as I could tell Jesus did not love His enemies. Did He cherish them, desire them, and place them first in His affections? He angrily criticized their pride, exploitation, and hypocrisy to their faces and behind their backs. It didn't seem respectful or loving.

Jesusvoice said the Bible bifurcates love and respect and that they were not the same thing. Erich From said that respect was part of love and means to look at, to see, to regard, and to view accurately. He got that from the etymology of the word. I looked up respect in The Dictionary of Etymology, and it agreed with Fromm.

Jesusvoice said to look up respect in the back of the Greek New Testament. I used Google to find the verse about wives respecting their husbands. I then looked up the word in the back of the Greek New Testament. It means to be scared, "to be afraid to do something, to fear, worship, or reverence God" and in Ephesians 5:22, it means to respect

I don't know if any of this that follows is accurate, comes from Satan or is a schizophrenic talking to voices in her head and nothing more.

Jesusvoice said the tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners were His enemies. He loved them. He treated them with affection. He cherished them. They were His enemies.

Jesusvoice said the Pharisees were not His friends or His enemies. They were religious leaders hom He respected. He respected them by viewing them accurately, regarding their lives and their hypocrisy, and by treating them with shrewdness because they had the power to get Him killed. He said He did not respect them by esteeming them highly but by fearing them and also by regarding their lives and their teaching with ruthless candor. He said they played for the same team. He said that both He and they believed in loving God and following the Mosaic law but had widely differing views on how to do so. He said they moved from the respect category to the enemies category when He was being tortured and crucified, and He loved them by not fighting back and begging His Father to forgive them.

So according to Jesusvoice...

-Tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners were enemies. He loved and cherished them.

-Disciples were His friends. He lived and died for them.

-Pharisees were in the respect category. He respected them by taking their leadership, learning and sin seriously and holding them accountable for all of the above. They then moved into the enemy category, and He loved them.

Jesusvoice said that Wheaton College professors and mental health professionals fell into the respect category. He said I should be scared because they have the power to put me away for good. He said I should consider them with brutal honesty. He also said I should read their scholarship. I am a slacker. I probably shan't. He said family also falls into the respect category.

Jesusvoice said that mark is not a Christian category but that fool is and that is how most Satanists view their marks.

Jesusvoice also said, and this makes no sense, that I am all of the above. I am His friend. I am His enemy. Like the Pharisees, I am a religious leader He respects; and I am a fool.

I know I am His friend. I know I am His enemy. I know I am a fool. The evidence that I am a religious leader is scant and scarce. I type Daddy's sermon notes. Sometimes I add comments that I call rubrics. I used to be the most appalling church organist on the planet. I write about my take on myself, God, and the Bible all the time. Nobody responds. The only evidence I have that people read my writing without responding directly with honest, candid debate is that weird stuff sometimes happens on my computer. A PowerPoint presentation turned green when I thought it should, but I didn't change the color or the template myself. I am pretty sure a Satanist was seancing with me and changed the color in response to my thoughts. I was typing up Joyce Meyer's definition of fool, and the words appeared before I typed them. I was thinking about yahoo.co.uk. It had been a long time since I had gone to that website. It appeared on the address bar drop down without me typing it. I imagined Silas McNeill deleting my von Balthasar paper. The jacked up rough drafts were still in my OneDrive. The polished drafts were gone. IN MY IMAGINATION, Satanists seance with me and once in a blue moon give me a hint on my computer.

When Jesusvoice told me I was supposed to be in the respect category, it was exasperating. I don't want to work hard, and I don't want to be held accountable for my jacked up thoughts and actions.

Jesusvoice said that regardless of which category the people fell into, I needed to curse them by asking Him to make their weaknesses better and their strengths stranger, more ludicrous, and weirder. He said that was how people used to Papa Smith me.

idk maybe it’s growing up with mostly queer friends but I don’t get why Pete is mad at Clark for keeping his alien stuff a secret? I had so many friends growing up keep parts of themselves secret from me or other people outside our group. It was a matter of survival a lot of them were afraid but that didn’t mean they didn’t trust me. They were simply too scared, I understood their choices because I had to make similar ones. It’s not just Pete it’s everyone, they are all so angry with him for not being “honest”. But honesty about these things gets people killed, I saw some horrible things happen to my peers when their Christian parents (live in Bible Belt surrounded by cults) found out. I know several who were sent to conversion camps (they may be illegal but they still exist in large numbers). Maybe being queer and being an alien aren’t good one to one comparisons but I can’t help view it through that lense as that’s the environment I grew up in.

Fandomless & Fandom Shenanigans

a little about me ✌️:

21

Lit, semi lit. I'm very versatile when it comes to reply lenght, from throwing out bibles to quicker and shorter replies, as long as we agree on something, i'm okay with it.

A variety of ideas. I have tons of ideas for plots and stuff must of them are not all fleshed out but it's something... Right?...

Pretty active, I try to always reply at least once a day, I might have some stutters since I study but if I haven't replied to our rp in a while i'll make it my priority to reply to you

Comunicative, I would like to know if my partner is having problems or if they don't understand something, if you share your ideas without fear no matter how dumb they might sound is even better! And like most people, I value honesty and if you don't wanna keep up with the rp just say so

Willing to double up

What i'm looking for:

18+

Someone creative

At least one reply a day

And now some plots and the fandoms I want to do:

Fandomless:

Set in a dark fantasy world, a veteran mercenary is paid to hunt down a very powerful corrupted wizard who is on a journey to destroy the world, they start out as enemies but with each fight they come to understand eachother a little better. One day the mercenary had chased the wizard to the edge of a cliff, with Nowhere else to escape it seemed like this would be the end of their rivalry when the ground beneath the wizard suddenly gives away and falls, the mercenary acts without thinking and jumps in to save the wizard only for both to fall into the river, after getting out of the river they realize they maybe are more than just deadly rivals, and their battles have actually brought them closer...

After a long and cruel war, the Holy Kingdom of Montclaire is utterly defeated and almost destroyed by the opossing Kingdom of Midland, with their King dead and fully ocupated by their enemies, the surviving Prince of Montclaire has no other choise but surrender if he wants his people to survive. After some years of reconstruction, the Prince, now the King of Montclaire, accepts to marry one of the daughters of the King of Midland to show his loyalty to the King (and also as a way for the King of Midland to keep an eye on the King of Montclaire), at first they had some hard days getting used to eachother but ended up falling in love with eachother even if by all means they should be enemies, now after years of peace the Kingdom of Midland sparks a war with the Kirk Empire and plans to send the soldiers of Montclaire and it's King to spear-head his war, unable to do anything against the orders of his father, the queen would have to watch how her husband is sent to a war that it's not his and get twisted by the cruelty of battle

in a future where the humans have expanded way beyond the stars strict rules are put on place for every civilization and planet, those not willing to follow the rules take the sea of stars in their own hands and live outside society on their own these "outlaws" are hunted down and killed for they are of no use for humanity. A young outlaw wandered space aimlessly, looking for what he called "true freedom" for years he wandered until one day he found a tiny icy moon, he landed his ship thinking it was safe to make some repairs but he ends up finding a woman en closed in a crystal, he frees her from her cold Cage and takes her into his ship where after she wakes up, he finds out she has had her memories wiped, with no clue to where to go they set out to find out who the woman really is.

Fandoms and ships:

Hazbin/Helluva: would really love to do Striker x Stella (a plot maybe about Stella having to run away with Striker and learning to live as an outlaw), also would like Adam x Lute (looking for something like a "slice of life" about these two living their lifes in Heaven and having to hide their relationship), zestial x Carmilla

Adventure time: looking for someone to play Fionna for a Fiolee rp (something really angsty and romantic about these two), or against Hunter (just finished the Fionna and Cake series and just love how Fionna and Hunter look, would love to write something about them and their magical counter parts)

Wakfu: I'm really okay with playing any characters or any ships (tho, i've only watched the first three seasons right now)

Bee & puppycat: would really like to do Bee x Deckard, Cass x Toast, Bee x Space Outlaw

That's all for now, thanks for reading! If you are interested like this post and i'll reach out to you!
