EMILY PRENTISS’ GOODREADS:

THE HOLY BIBLE

multiple authors

★☆☆☆☆ 0.1

Overly-preachy narrative, too many plot holes. Profiled God as a malignant narcissist with an inferiority complex. Can’t blame Satan for lashing out at has dad like that, rebellion is typical of scapegoated children in a toxic family dynamic.

THE CATCHER IN THE RYE

J.D. Salinger

★★★★★ 5.0

Didn’t read it, five stars anyway because its reputation precedes it.

HOW TO FIND AT-RISK KIDS WHO GREW UP IN A 360-DEGREE ENVIRONMENT OF FAMILY VIOLENCE

David Rossi, Jason Gideon

★★☆☆☆ 2.0

Literally ruining my life. But two stars because I was high when I read it and it made my brain feel fuzzy in a good way.

THE LORD OF THE FLIES

William Golding

★★★☆☆ 0.3

Strong concept, disappointing lack of women.

SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE

Kurt Vonnegut

★★★★★ 5.0

It’s so freaky-deaky, I love it.

Do schools not teach online safety well enough anymore or are kids just fucking dumb nowadays. Genuine question.

Pretty funny that the new Alien is so empty and hollow people would rather talk about the one from 12 years ago

UNCHAINED: A GABRIEL MAY INSPIRED PLAYLIST

"I wanted you to see what you made me. A monster."

- The Devil Within (Digital Daggers) ("I'm underneath your skin, the devil within") - Unstoppable (Disturbed) ("Vengeance is coming, believe it now, you won't survive") - Choke (I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME) ("If I could burn this town, I wouldn't hesitate to smile while you suffocate and die.") - Haunted (Diamante) ("I've got a hold, you think by now you'd know that you'll never be alone") - I'm Your Nightmare (The Brains) ("I'm the creature that hides inside your brain, and I will always haunt you, you'll never sleep again") & more! Image Sources: x/x/x/screenshots from the film -------------- One of the big cosplay projects I'll be working on in 2024 is Gabriel May from Malignant so here's the (still growing) playlist I made to listen to while I work on it! I don't know if anyone still talks about this film but it's one of my all time favourites (I could talk about it for hours, I even have a tattoo of Gabriel's trophy knife). Needless to say I'm super keen to get started on this project!

I like to think that what partially motivated Lucifer to finally snap and Rebell against hell was him actually meeting and talking to Adam and Eve and realizing "Holy fuck I dont want them nor their future gens to be tortured forever" and seeing them grow, change and learn as well as having a choice in who they wish to be (smth angels cant really do) and maybe just maybe the hypothetical that if everyone in heaven, both angels and humans are immortal they'll all eventually land in hell to be tortured forever (considering eternity is a long time and a long time to accidentally Slip up)

i definitely think the human issue is primarily what drove his dissent, and i think the idea is supported well enough by the testament alluding to lucifer's fall. initially, of course, he was thrilled by god's new design - "we will make man in our image" is a pretty intriguing pitch, but lucifer's questions quickly began to rise to the surface as that idea took shape. a creature made in god's image, taken to mean that human beings will be boundlessly inventive and have the capacity to create endlessly, something the angels don't have, means they will have a world just BURSTING with new ideas and more to love. however, humans will be restricted, beings of flesh that have a much smaller scope of awareness and limited senses, but that isn't necessarily a terrible thing - they will live in their own world of peace, a beautiful garden made for all their generations to grow in. something goes wrong though, something feels off to him when he begins to understand how curious they will be, how they will learn and how they will be self-governing - they will truly possess themselves as god does and in ways he did not impart to his angels. yet humans were to be tested, and if they were fail then their lives become ruinous, they bring pain, disease, violence, and untold burdens into the world as their punishment, until death takes them in the short lives they have. they will be subject to all evil, a design cruel enough in itself, but hell put the nail in the coffin for him.

because he is left with the how. how can beings so small, born without any knowledge or inclination and living for just a few short years, in a world filled with evil, confusion, and anxiety, be expected to hold god's laws in perfection? it planted a growing seed of misgiving in him, of doubt in god's goodness - a place of eternal torment for what would be, in most people, a small life of mistakes. it shook lucifer's love....because his love burns for all of god's creation now too. he couldn't bear to see these humans tortured beyond all time and it's true too that it made him fear for all of them. could hell house them all? could heaven be emptied? could god, in all his power and all his growing need to be obeyed and adored beyond what his creations even seem capable of giving, cast them all out and simply make new children that he thinks could satisfy his demands? because humanity feels an awful lot like god wants something else from what he has, beings of pure free will that will love him endlessly because his angels just aren't enough. nothing is enough. and i think that thought sparks his unease to the point of rebellion. nothing is enough for god. he looks upon heaven, he sees the seraphim like himself that are wholly devoted to singing praises all day and all night in god's presence, he sees the archangels made to hold up and exalt his throne, he sees an expansive kingdom full of worship by all who inhabit it...and god wants more. will he keep creating to this end, over and over, beings made out of nothing and then soon enough cast off into the pit? cycles of endless torture, for all time. it was a heavy, harrowing thought, so ghoulish it seemed unthinkable, yet hell was there, and humans would be condemned to it if they "failed".

if he did meet adam and eve in any way, that if would be erased and hell's usage would become a certainty. not because he finds evil in them, but because they are curious, they want to learn and they like to share with one another. they have god's essential spark in them, yet he denies them the fundamental knowledge of good and evil knowing full well their divine nature and the intelligence he gave them. what's worse is that it seems likely in this scenario that the serpent in the garden is likely from god as well - while traditional christian belief holds that the devil tempted them, the serpent, canonically, has no identity (satan is HIGHLY unlikely given genesis's age besides) and so...adam and eve obeyed, yet god decided to push them again. he gave his orders, they listened, but it wasn't enough. i like the idea that maybe lucifer finally broke when god sent that serpent, when he saw that no matter how humans obeyed, they would be tested until he found a way to make them fail. because they hadn't touched that fruit. they took god's word and did good, despite all their contrary nature. it just furthers the fear that they are all destined for a fate of damnation, that god will push and push and push until his creations fail him, that whatever goodness he has is being devoured by something within him that lucifer is sure he cannot fathom.

yet i think, even until the end, lucifer believed he could sway god's mind. he is the satan, the adversary, part of his role meant to question and now, to accuse. so maybe he was meant to call this cruelty for what it is, maybe he was meant to condemn hell as an institution...at least, maybe he can change this before it goes too far. yet even if he had any anxiety about what punishment this might incur, his stand had to be taken for humanity and for the host of heaven, lest they be subject to the same tests and wrath. unfortunately, lucifer would find out god's brutality is unending when one dares threaten to remove an ounce of their adoration for him.

BAM

[whirld-of-color]

decision: try to open it again

You jiggle the mouse around and click on the icon a few more times. Even if you don’t really…like the idea of playing Minecraft anymore, playing it with a friend could be a lot of fun!

Maybe you could message him?

…

After another minute of buffering, your resolve starts to falter. Maybe this isn’t worth it…there are definitely better things to be doing with your time.

Then, a few seconds later, the game opens.

…

You wait patiently for the game to load.

…

The windows go dark. A sharp, acrid smell of petrol hits you, and a high-pitched whirring coupled with a low, deep hum fills the room.

There is a video. It’s playing on the computer.

You’re in it.

But…that isn’t you, that- that can’t- be you. Because… you don’t remember this at all, it- you would remember this. It- this isn’t- it isn’t you. It can’t be.

The video jutters and jumps- you can hear this, other person’s panicked breathing, running from it, and the high-pitched noise of the static. The sound of glitched darkness eating the world, the-

(content warning for an extremely loud noise!)

It shuts off.

What is on your screen now are three words.

Dad isn’t home.

I am my own god, I see through people. I see their lies I know the strange truth behind their fake decisions and lies. I know exactly what they want from me, they should worship me and pray for my forgiveness once they have wronged me. I am so sick of their hypocrisy and ignorance. I want them to get the pain they have put me through. I am haunted by this strange phenomenon and false reality they have put me in.

I named her Cleopatra. I'm not even sure she's a stray. I've seen her for a few years walking the rooftops across the back alley. The guy I argued yesterday about the trash cans his wife feeds the outside cats too, I've noticed. And my other neighbor said they feed her too. They call her mama. This girl gets around but she's been increasingly staying in my garden or inside my garage, which I'm more than fine with. I have an affinity for stray cats. When I was little my grandmother told me to save her all my peach seeds for her. She didn't say why. As a kid I simply followed orders. After some time I found out she's grinding up the peach pits for the Cyanide and adding it to tuna fish and set out to poison the neighborhood stray cats. I was fucking livid. Even as a little guy this pissed me off. I never really forgave her for that, she did loads of things to all of us but especially me. I was pops boy. She hated me as an extension of hating him. I was fine with that. Old wicked manipulator. She ruined 3 generations of kids in my opinion. I fought her on many fronts. In the end the brother who had been grandmas boy was nowhere to be found so I'm the one who cared for her as she passed. Same with them all. I did it all. My mom and my grandfather too. I took care of them all even though they had all treated me so bad. That was ok. I had my duty to care for them. I loved them all. Abusive bastards. I still wonder how my brother sleeps at night. But anyway I'm not even sure Cleopatra is a female. I just get feminine energy from her. She hasn't let me touch her yet and I'm not pushing. She don't mind coming to the door howling for food now. Turn in your grave, grandma. I invite all strays to the manor. In your fucking honor. Another reason your ghost is uneasy. You were wrong in life and you are wrong in death. I love you though. That's called trauma isn't it?.

Stockholm grandma.
