#ism schism

[hotsinglesmusic]

i'm sorry is it actually fucking called

schismatism

that is the funniest word I have ever heard

With the way American tradcaths are currently speedrunning schismatism, I'm about 80% convinced we'll see a non-trivially supported American antipope within my lifetime, and not gonna lie, I'd be fascinated to see how that would go down.

Some of you bloggers out there have no idea how cruel and evil your religious leaders have been to some of us. Or maybe you do know, in which case, fuck you.

[riversebb]

"prove"? to who and why? i dont care what you believe, as long as those beliefs help you move through the world joyfully.

[darkveracity]

An idea a lot of longer PMMM fanfiction plays with is the concept of a post-series organized religion for the worship of Madokami. In a lot of ways it makes sense! Existing religious traditions either have nothing useful to say about magical girls or consider them heretics but magical girls lead the kind of dangerous life that encourages faith just to have someone to pray to when you're not sure if you'll make it back home alive. With an actual goddess going around granting fallen magical girls salvation and providing occasional divine intervention it makes perfect sense that eventually a religious tradition would spring up around her (I imagine artistic depictions of the goddess of magical girls vary substantially but a few key details are always constant: pink hair tied up in ribbons, a white dress, gold eyes)

What no story I've read has grappled with however is the fact that there are two very different and incompatible ways to interpret Madoka's wish within the text and which one you gravitate towards depends on your pre-existing religious background. This means that as Madokami-ism gets spread around different magical girl communities it's getting syncretized with local religions like crazy and producing two distinct sects

In eastern regions Madokami-ism becomes a buddhism-derived faith with Madokami interpreted as the boddhisattva Kannon who transcended samsara and then returned to guide her fellow magical girls to enlightenment

In western regions on the other hand you get a gnostic christian style faith with Madokami interpreted as a Christ-like figure who sacrificed herself to forge a new covenant of salvation with the demiurge Kyubey

This religious schism is fun to think about! What does it mean for magical girl culture to have this kind of complicated religious movement going on? What's it like for a girl from one sect to meet a girl from the other and discover that they have completely incompatible beliefs about their shared goddess figure? Is all of this very upsetting for Madoka who never wanted to be worshipped in the first place? (yes) You could easily write a whole story just about magical girl religion!

Mr. Nisile and I watching Bridgerton: the season 3, part 2 edition

@konartiste

Episode 5:

Mr. Nisile: Kate looks so much like my former classmate, it's uncanny. Me: Yeah, and Anthony looks like my weird friend from med school. Mr. Nisile: and they both had a propensity to share really awkward things with us. Like, didn't (the weird friend from med school) once text you "just had sex"? Me: I don't know. If he did, I probably repressed that.

Mr. Nisile on Anthony, Benedict and Colin talking: Ok, this whole scene is just collars talking to collars.

Daphne the cat is on Mr. Nisile's knee during the mirror scene: Daphne, we must look away for scenes like this. (And then, Daphne actually does look away :P)

Mr. Nisile: You know, this might have been said before, but Penelope probably actually fit the beauty standards of the time far better than most of the people cast in this show. Me: Yes, indeed. There is fatshaming of Penelope even in the book, but in fact, it's quite anachronistic. It was not until the late 19th century that thinness became chic because... *goes off on a tirade that is far too long to document here*

Mr. Nisile: It would've been funnier if Lord Greer had announced his conditions backwards: if he had led with the 4-5 children and Cressida was like, "ok, ok, this I can do," but then only one ball per month, and Cressida is like "shiiiiiiiit" and then the coup de grace is the grey and brown dresses.

Episode 6:

When John Stirling announces his and Francesca's engagement, a few of the chords in the music that follows sound suspiciously like the Fellowship theme from LOTR. Mr. Nisile upon hearing this: NO, NO, NO! YOU CAN'T DO THAT! Me: wha, did I just hear what I think I heard?! Mr. Nisile: You can't SHIRE THE TON! YOU CAN'T FELLOWSHIP THE BRIDGERTONS! Me: what are you talking about, that was excellent! Mr. Nisile: THAT JUST RANKLED ME IN THE RELIGION! Me: Ok, that is one for the Mr. Nisile-isms post, once my nails dry. Mr. Nisile: Ok, fine. But I'll be right back. I need to use the bathroom -- when you get rankled in the religion, it tends to loosen up the bladder.

Mr. Nisile on Cressida Cowper's red dress: That dress looks like a red spinnaker. Me: what's a spinnaker? Mr. Nisile: (looks is up and shows me -- it is a type of sail) Oh. Yeah. Ok.

Me when Cressida Cowper shows up at a ball after she reveals herself as Lady Whistledown: And all the while, Ms. Malhotra is in the background going :D, and that is my favorite thing in this episode so far.

Episode 7:

All of the below are from Mr. Nisile:

You know, Cressida needs some better editing. I could write better than her. I could be Lady Whistledown, that could be my new drag name.

The schism of the ton!

Well, at least this Lady Whistledown is better composed than a crummy tweet.

That outfit is like a Rorschach test for flamingoes.

You know, with how autistic-coded Stirling is, I'm glad the Bridgerton brothers didn't try harder to convince him to "declare himself" by throwing rocks at a window. He might have gone and actually done it.

You know, carriage drivers probably have the best gossip. I wonder why no one thought that Lady Whistledown was a carriage driver.

Ok, you want to talk about anachronisms? Colin's black light vest. It looks like it came from a laser tag studio. (This is in response to me having eagle eyes for any part of a period piece drama that is anachronistic).

Episode 8:

Mr. Nisile on Colin's home decor: Those houses have co-lors.

Mr. Nisile on Colin and Eliose talking: I would be more comfortable wearing what she's wearing than what he's wearing. I mean, he's got like two cravats and three collars, and a woolen coat. I would be sweating like a pig in July.

Mr. Nisile on the introduction of Michaela Stirling: wait, are they (Eliose and Francesca) just in awe of her overwhelming femininity or something? Me: (sitting on my hands and aggressively not saying anything because I have read the books and he has not, and I know what the deal is with Michaela Stirling)

Eventually, I did tell him about Michaela Stirling, and then he felt vindicated because he thought he saw an intimate moment between Francesca and Penelope in the first part of the season, and thought they were trying to code Francesca as queer all along.

No need to answer 'til I take further evidence

I seem to need a reference to get residence

A reference to your preference to say

I'm a good neighbour, I trudge

So judge me for my labour

Lobotomy ensures my good behaviour

The constant struggle ensures my insanity

Passing the ignorance ensures the struggle for my family

We're hungry, beware of our appetite

Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight (oh)

The kill which I share with my passengers

We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill

Mr. Quaye lay in the crevice, and watches from the precipice

Imperial passage (yeah)

Heat from the sun, some days slowly passes

understanding happens between entities. it is not acquired, accumulated or otherwise constructed or enforced. it is arrived at. met. assumptions are an attempt to enforce understanding. they are convenient constructs. nothing inherently bad about convenient constructs, but why build a house without windows or doors? that's just a cell, in the context of living on earth.

[midniteguacamole]

Current mood as I sit in my car before the start of my shift:

A groovy feel, with a somber appeal.

Capital-ISM making this schism between here and there.

I'd rather be home, alone watching the drops fall upon the glass in my personal fenestrated wall.

isms and schisms is my favorite jamaican phrase

Existentialism vs Chasms

Ism: a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.

I have been living with the type of limbo relationship that is making a new way of culture. That has been teaching me how see the world, as I have beautiful eyes in judgment. Existentialism is a philosophical understanding of consciousness that needs to be addressed in contemporary and futuristic context.

It is not hard to understand, but it is something that keeps on going because it is a “practice” of realization. There are no wrong answers in your approach, however there is one factor that makes it meaningful: people consider it in their reasoning. Though life naturally preaches the denial of such grilling and outspoken conversation, the world still relies on its simplicity to make sense. 

It’s a dry spell, especially coming from someone with energy higher than it. You’re noticing something that is not significant. Those that do not exert energy to realize something are in the benefit of society because they do not waste their propaganda on misidentified energy.

Syntax is my form of denying the sickness of being existential. It’s a form of OCD. It prevents normal thinking.

It’s my form of maturity and independence. It’s the conversation I have with myself when noticing I am not a kid any longer, but a full grown adult with the spirit of a child. It’s the overwhelming benefit of being alive.

There is no need to notice mediocre things while studying existentialism. The significance is finding something that relates to one’s self and being comfortable in the relationship. Finding a meaningful story to expose the long winded character is the goal of doing such an event to prevent one from becoming stuck on being futile and simple minded.

The real form of existentialism that is not presented and is well stacked in wealth is connecting with individuals. That shows the nexus for dramatic profiling and identification. This is an expectation that is a given in society and has no rule book or directions to succeed.

As a kid, you want games to define your existentialism. However as I grow up I am seeing work, responsibilities, and accolades define your existentialism. As an adult it should be about protection and systemic research.

Where you make community is where the plague of existentialism is void. How one makes community is the question of progressional success. It must be maximized in proficiency to avoid the issue of existentialism.

People praise you for giving updating the topic. It is a dead topic, in the fact that it repeats death. This is why you need to contribute.
