#judas preaches

[judasonhisknees]

butches telling you how hard they are for you is so mind melting. the moment a butch palms at the crotch of their jeans, telling me how desperate they are to have my mouth on them, their cock between my tits- between my thick thighs- in my cunt. i lose all coherent thought in my brain and all i know what i need to do is just to make my sweet sweet butch feel so good

[many-sparrows]

See the thing about God being everywhere is that he's constantly waiting for you. And the thing about grace is that it doesn't just wash away the things you've done wrong, it washes away the shame, if you'll let go of it. So don't feel like you have to wait until you've figured out what to do about church, or until you've "made it right" again, or become a better person. He ate with tax collectors before asking them to change their ways. He washed Judas's feet, knowing betrayal was coming. He can work with the small things. Faith the size of a mustard seed, you know?

[dolokhoded]

judas is the most obvious queer allegory in the entirety of human history it genuinely shocks me sometimes how transparent the whole BETRAYING A SON OF MAN WITH A KISS thing is when you think about it for over like 0.03 seconds.

[unforgivingchorus]

Can’t find it. Drunk. But that poem about not being able to believe Judas and Jesus wasn’t a love story as a child is about more than just queerness it’s about how the modern Catholic Church preaches hate against those they deem unworthy but Jesus at his core was a preacher with stories about love. Jesus is a love story at its core from the most ‘unforgivable betrayal’ of Judas to the lazuras and that one guy who was a tax payer story. Zachraudius or smthing. I said that story at my communion or 1st confession. Idk. It’s so easy as a kid to see the love in the text beyond the father. It’s hard as an adult to see beyond the preacher into the love

can someone please upload a video of the Gemstone kids singing in church while Eric Andre and his wife get shot down in Alaska please? I am in desperate need

@ Matthew anon. I am now thinking about St. Matthew/Marchand going around preaching The Good Word about Our Lord And Saviour Patrice Bergeron and you're so right actually.

[nosferatufaggot]

They called Jesus a cunt cuz they were afraid of his truth.

[matthew-alexander]

"There is always room in our hearts for spirituality..." Matthew returned. "It just takes time for many to realise that," he added with a smile even when he -- they -- both knew how hypocritical he was being. Judas did not seem to mind though.

"Then I welcome your obligation. The church's arms are open to you at all times..." There were two meanings in Matthew's words. The more spiritual one as was expected of a preacher like him, and a more flirtatious one that was reserved for Judas alone.

"I'm not much of a spiritual, godly person. I think that much is obvious. I'm sure I can find something else for you to talk about, or an excuse to be in your company." Even though Matthew kept his secrets close to his chest, he always felt like someone they could trust and be comfortable around. He might judge himself, but he didn't seem to judge them, their life or their family.

"Besides, I'm sure you get lonely in that church all by yourself. I feel an obligation to check in on you every once and a while."

Still, there is this terrible desire to be loved. Still, there is this horror at being left behind.

ENTITY: What's your name, friend? ARTHUR: Jesus, it's- it's Arthur. ENTITY: Arthur?

Being a person didn't come naturally to me the way it seemed to for others. People who were sure of themselves awed me. I studied them and tried to mimic their ease.

ARTHUR: Now, you're going to play nice and tell me what we see, or so help me, I will send you back to that empty void you came from. Understood? ENTITY (beaten down): Yes. ARTHUR: Good boy. Now, tell me what's in this room.

if only i were a bird, dark winged, in flight.

YELLOW: What made you... friendly? With him? (A light-hearted piano piece starts.) ARTHUR: What do you mean? YELLOW: What made you... like his companionship.

Do you love me? Do you need me? Do you want me? Do you love me? YELLOW: What do you want from me?!

"You can be better than this," my shame whispers in my ear. "You need to try harder. You need to hide the scary things you carry around. You need to act like you've arrived, even though you're so inadequate and broken that you never will."

You'll never know me None of you will ever see my face No matter how much we long to face the unknown And that's okay

WHY DOES TRAGEDY EXIST? BECAUSE YOU ARE FULL OF RAGE. WHY ARE YOU FULL OF RAGE? BECAUSE YOU ARE FULL OF GRIEF.

YELLOW (loathing): Friends! What a waste.

To preach long, loud, and Damnation, is the way to be cried up. We love a man that damns us, and we run after him again to save us.

ARTHUR: That I... That I... (Quieter.) Failed you.

JESUS: I'm right here. JUDAS: I would have never believed that you could have left me. JESUS: I never left you. JUDAS: That you didn't love me. JESUS: I do love you. JUDAS: Why ... didn't you make me good enough ... so that you could've loved me?

YELLOW: I... I... (Quieter.) Why you, John? What did you have to offer? Why does he care about... you?

okay i need to actually read a script before i’m coherent but i saw a singular production and my interpretation of the jesus and Judas scenes were that judas’ hell is jesus just trying to be nice and he can’t accept that?? and just

hell is other people but not because they’re bad but because WE’RE bad and we know it and we can’t be around other people and and and and—

“You can go to church

Read the Bible

Sing the worship songs

Have your feet washed

Operate in the spiritual gifts

Preach the house down

Respond to the altar call

Tell Him you're loyal

Kiss His cheek

And still not give Him your heart.

Judas heard all His sermons

Judas saw all the miracles

Judas prayed and saw people healed through his very own hands ~ But hadn't given Jesus his heart.”

Jesus Sends Out His Apostles

1 Jesus called his twelve followers together and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and sickness. 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who turned against Jesus.

5 Jesus sent out these twelve men with the following order: “Don’t go to the non-Jewish people or to any town where the Samaritans live. 6 But go to the people of Israel, who are like lost sheep. 7 When you go, preach this: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead to life again, heal those who have skin diseases, and force demons out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help other people freely. 9 Don’t carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper. 10 Don’t carry a bag or extra clothes or sandals or a walking stick. Workers should be given what they need.

11 “When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in that home until you leave. 12 When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’ 13 If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don’t welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them. 14 And if a home or town refuses to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake its dust off your feet. 15 I tell you the truth, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah than for the people of that town.

Jesus Warns His Apostles

16 “Listen, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as clever as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be careful of people, because they will arrest you and take you to court and whip you in their synagogues. 18 Because of me you will be taken to stand before governors and kings, and you will tell them and the non-Jewish people about me. 19 When you are arrested, don’t worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given the things to say. 20 It will not really be you speaking but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 “Brothers will give their own brothers to be killed, and fathers will give their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and have them put to death. 22 All people will hate you because you follow me, but those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved. 23 When you are treated badly in one city, run to another city. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A student is not better than his teacher, and a servant is not better than his master. 25 A student should be satisfied to become like his teacher; a servant should be satisfied to become like his master. If the head of the family is called Beelzebul, then the other members of the family will be called worse names!

Fear God, Not People

26 “So don’t be afraid of those people, because everything that is hidden will be shown. Everything that is secret will be made known. 27 I tell you these things in the dark, but I want you to tell them in the light. What you hear whispered in your ear you should shout from the housetops. 28 Don’t be afraid of people, who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is the one who can destroy the soul and the body in hell. 29 Two sparrows cost only a penny, but not even one of them can die without your Father’s knowing it. 30 God even knows how many hairs are on your head. 31 So don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.

Tell People About Your Faith

32 “All those who stand before others and say they believe in me, I will say before my Father in heaven that they belong to me. 33 But all who stand before others and say they do not believe in me, I will say before my Father in heaven that they do not belong to me.

34 “Don’t think that I came to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 I have come so that

‘a son will be against his father, a daughter will be against her mother, a daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law.

36 A person’s enemies will be members of his own family.’ (Micah 7:6)

37 “Those who love their father or mother more than they love me are not worthy to be my followers. Those who love their son or daughter more than they love me are not worthy to be my followers. 38 Whoever is not willing to carry the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who try to hold on to their lives will give up true life. Those who give up their lives for me will hold on to true life. 40 Whoever accepts you also accepts me, and whoever accepts me also accepts the One who sent me. 41 Whoever meets a prophet and accepts him will receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever accepts a good person because that person is good will receive the reward of a good person. 42 Those who give one of these little ones a cup of cold water because they are my followers will truly get their reward.” — Matthew 10 | New Century Version (NCV) The Holy Bible, New Century Version®.

Commentary on Matthew 10 by Matthew Henry

How to Write Devastating Betrayals (Pt. 1)

Here are some elements + tips on satisfying betrayals that will destroy both your characters AND your readers!

1. Relationship Between Trust and Betrayal 

The #1 Betrayal Rule:

MORE TRUST = WORSE BETRAYAL

This is because TRUST implies 2 main things:

The traitor has probably PROVEN their trustworthiness, and now has a shared history + bond with the character they’re betraying 

The traitor probably has access to a LOT OF INFORMATION about the character, whether it’s career-wise or personal. Probably at least some information the character considers STRICTLY confidential 

An act of betrayal undermines Point 1 by manipulating Point 2 to their advantage.

So, if you want your betrayal to DESTROY, have the traitor be CLOSE with the character they’re about to betray. Lets compare examples: 

you are a gang boss. You hire a new recruit who doesn’t really know anything except one insignificant operation, like “today we buy groceries at 2PM”

your recruit tells the rival gang about the grocery trip   

→ betrayal doesn’t really matter that much

you probably didn’t place much trust in a new recruit 

the implications of information leak are insignificant 

→ not much plot weight 

On the other hand:

you find out that the entire time, your RIGHT HAND MAN (also your childhood friend!) has been feeding information to the rival gang and sabotaging your operations 

→ HURTS a lot more emotionally

might ruin everything you’ve built, career-wise, for good 

→ LOTS of plot weight

From a completely SECULAR PLOT STANDPOINT (please don’t come for me, theologians), Judas’ betrayal of Jesus is a good example because:

Judas was one of Jesus’ disciples, a.k.a. the people considered closest to him, and who followed Jesus throughout all of his preaching years

Judas’ information about Jesus’ identity and whereabouts led to Jesus’ crucifixion → LOTS of plot weight (the entire Bible from a Christian standpoint foreshadows this moment, and every point after is spreading word of this moment. Talk about plot implications!)  

ONCE AGAIN, I know all the “Jesus knew and allowed it to happen” “it was the will of God” stuff but this is purely used as a good plot example!!!!

2. Reason for Betrayal

“’Cause it’s super edgy/evil/cool” is DEFINITELY not a valid option. 

All the plot points in a book build towards achieving a goal, and all the characters do things they think will get them closer to what they want. Likewise, the traitor must want a specific thing that ONLY betrayal can get them, or that betrayal can get them more efficiently. 

People generally portray typical traitors as: 

completely selfish with no personality trait aside from infinite ambition and ruthless pragmatism

a hero whose had enough

someone who sees the person they betrayed as a “worthless disposable” or something 

Traitors don’t have to be morally bankrupt, even though betrayal is typically seen as something inherently bad, or just a bad means to a good end at best. 

They can be conflicted about the betrayal (like Macbeth delaying his murder of King Duncan), remorseful about it (like Discord from MLP feeling super guilty after he hands the main protagonists over to the villain), or even do it for the “greater good.”

e.g. Brutus thought Caesar was becoming too power hungry, and would destroy the republic by becoming a dictator, so Brutus betrayed him to preserve the republic 

→ example of a betrayal that was NOT self-serving

However, building on the MLP Discord example, a traitor can also have been manipulated into it themselves. 

(For context, the villain basically promised Discord lots of power if he handed over the protagonists, but then the villain also sucked away Discord’s powers afterwards—won’t bother explaining MLP magic mechanics LOL) 

3. Foreshadow It 

A satisfying betrayal is usually a subtle, looming shadow that creeps over your plot before it makes its grand entrance during the scene when the character realizes the traitor sold them out. 

A good example is in Shakespeare’s dramatization of Brutus’ betrayal: 

Brutus’ loyalty to the REPUBLIC is made super clear throughout. When Caesar starts deviating, seeming more dictatorial, Brutus remains firm.

Their values are CLEARLY conflicting, so SOMETHING has to be done. Either:

they reconcile by both agreeing on either dictatorship or democracy

they turn on each other...and that’s what happens

Basically, planting the possibility in your reader’s mind is a great way to foreshadow a betrayal. 

Other ideas could be: 

traitor begins suddenly acting a lot warmer to the unsuspecting character, or even colder right BEFORE the betrayal

traitor is always TOO obedient and/or sycophantic 

traitor acts suspicious, e.g. caught in lies, using inconsistent body language (ex. pretending to cry when talking about something really bad), caught talking to people they shouldn’t be talking to (e.g. rival gang)

i love katnep! its rlly sweet and karkat & nepetas dynamic is just cute bcuz shes like the only troll who outwardly appreciates him and takes him seriously, atleast when she was alive.. but i wanted to talk about how katnep could have been so great :( theres so much symbolism in their relationship and they could have been so much more if hussie didnt need to make a point by killing nepeta off.

to start, i wanted to give a brief explanation on nepetas classpect because then her own role in the pair makes more sense. shes a rogue, a passive class. but the rogue's passive behavior is stealing parts of their aspect and giving it to others, like a robin hood. so a fully realized rogue of heart would be able to steal things like positive emotions or feelings from an enemy and give it to their team! it makes sense why nepeta is obsessed with pairing, but in more of a selfless sense. shes outwardly indulging in pairing her friends, but when it comes to pairing herself with karkat shes at a loss to things like confessing or being more presenting about it. if a rogue only steals their aspect for others, how could they steal it for themselves?? nepetas only able to give the heart aspect/outward personal confessions for/to others and not herself.

karkat is a knight of blood. one whos meant to weaponize blood and attack/defend others with it. even if karkat has a spiky personality, hes very compassionate and willing to listen to others because he naturally wants to strengthen/defend his relationships. he just doesn't know how to give these relationships worth while tied to him, or how to express them outwardly!

basically, karkat would help nepeta be more open about her own feelings, and nepeta would help karkat be more open about his, both in their own ways. they'd help eachother be more expressive while also being very caring themselves, and its a shame the pairings one-sided in the comic!

speaking of the one-sided part, that links to their ancestors! the signless was a seer of blood, envisioning all that had to do with blood, bonds, and troll society itself. the disciple knew all there was to the heart and feelings, being very connected to them. both of these aspects were very personal and both dancestors had passive classes.

the disciple was more of a personal companion, the signless' closest, and the signless preached to the masses, even in secret, through his visions of troll blood unification. the comic states their relationship transcended the quadrants themselves, and when the signless was brutally executed, the disciple lived in caves for years/decades on end, recording all the words the signless spoke from her own memory. ive seen people compare their relationship to a sort of jesus/judas dynamic, which is pretty fitting, and makes sense in terms of all the religious symbolism in homestuck already.

i feel like the disciple's love was so strong it passed onto her descendant, nepeta, who fell for karkat. but because the beta trolls' story is supposed to act out as sort of an opposite to the dancestors', that means katnep is the unrequited version of disciples/signless' requited love.

even if katnep didnt work, its own concept is beautiful and i think theyre really awesome!! ^_^
