#man cannot be perfect

[sharks-sharks-sharks]

A lot of Christians I've met are hateful¹ but that is not following your scripture, or what Jesus would want.

Wasn't Jesus' entire thing was to be accepting of everyone²? he died for your sins, can't you accept his ways and show compassion to everyone despite what other things the bible may say?

I feel, it's important to mention that the bible isn't even directly God's word, it was written by man, and man cannot be perfect. The bible has a good amount of contradictions³, it is not a book of rules, more a guideline, we should follow the main ideas it teaches.

The bible condemns a lot of things⁴ which followers seem to ignore, so why not ignoring the condemning of homosexuality? There is no good excuse for bigotry, nobody should be using their beliefs to be hateful to others.

¹In my personal experience, a lot of Christians I have encountered have held a lot of hate in their heart, one side of my family is Christian (white side) they hold biases against some groups of people for no apparent reason outside of racism, I know that there are nice Christians, I know some nice Christians, but it's just drowned out by all the bad.

²Matthew 9:10-17, Mark 2:15-22, and Luke 5:29-39: The Pharisee rebuke Jesus for eating with sinners, to which Jesus responds, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick." Jesus shows mercy as opposed to self-righteous judgment.

Luke 6:35 Jesus said, “Love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil”

³Example: Genesis chapter 1 says the first man and woman were made at the same time, and after the animals. But Genesis chapter 2 gives a different order of creation: man, then the animals, and then woman.

⁴Examples:

- no eating pig, rabbit, camel, shellfish, lobster, clams, oysters, urchins, fat, blood, certain birds, ect. (Leviticus 11:4, 11:10, 3:17, 11:13-20)

- no mixed fabrics (Leviticus 19:19)

- no short hair (Leviticus 19:27)

- no grudges (Leviticus 19:18)

- if you cheat you go to hell (Leviticus 20:10)

All of this to say, don't use Christianity to be an asshole or I'll find you xx

I find it soo endearing how awkward Faifa gets in this scene when Wine casually lays on his lap! But the thing is, this is not a one off. It happens whenever Wine has been the first to initiate contact.

He is shocked every time. He takes a moment to regroup before he hugs Wine back. He almost seems flustered. Like he's not used to being hugged. Like he's not used to receiving this kind of affection at all (or probably doesn't expect it directed to him).

Which is so weird when you think about it, because Wine is not the first to do anything very easily, especially show his admiration (and towards a guy! my sweet, previously closeted, gay baby 🥲). Fa is the one who eased him into this kind of comfort from day 1!

He casually pats his hair, touches him, hugs him, kisses him and just showers him with love. He's the one who broke Wine's barriers. He made Wine comfortable with accepting physical touch (at least from Faifa).

So, of course Wine thinks it's okay to do it back! And yet, when it's reciprocated...

Faifa is surprised

Every. Single. Time.

"I have many fears, most of them about Lucrezia." — Cesare Borgia (The Borgias, 2011-2013) + hints of insecurity

that she adores someone that much / if she will reject his dark nature and act of love and violence as Ursula did / if he truly is not part of her desires / that she easily forgets him

I just think he's neat

ATEEZ 2025 SEASON’S GREETINGS Yunho

[sidewalk-cracks]

literally please give Battison a Dick Grayson in the Batman Part II.

The first movie was about Bruce's journey from not wanting to be Bruce Wayne, to realizing that he does in fact need to be Bruce Wayne, and that Bruce Wayne can be a force used for good just like Batman. Logically then, the second movie should explore the next immediate question on the table: okay, he needs to be Bruce Wayne. So who is Bruce Wayne? What kind of man is Bruce Wayne going to be? Bruce still feels defined by his trauma of his parent's death. Bruce Wayne still feels defined by his parents' shadows, by his father's legacy. He still feels defined by his grief. How does he make Bruce Wayne be something different?

Dick Grayson would serve as the PERFECT device for Bruce to discover who he can be. Because Dick Grayson is literally just a young Bruce, and Bruce sees that instantly (it's why he takes him in in the first place). So throughout the movie, as Bruce tries to help Dick process his grief, he's inadvertently processing his OWN grief. Dick Grayson unknowingly helps Bruce process his own trauma, and through their developing relationship shows him that Bruce Wayne can be more than a recluse, a failure, a man drowning in his own head- he can be a protector, a friend, a parent.

When Dick points a gun at Tony Zucco's head, Bruce talks him down, and all the words that he gives him are words he had wanted when he was a kid and his grief was fresh. Even though they're gone, you're not alone. I understand.

BATTISON NEEDS DICK GRAYSON TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE NEXT STEP OF HIS CHARACTER GROWTH.

The ultimate dogboy in Dunmeshi to me isn’t Laios, Lycion or even Kuro. It’s Mickbell.

Little dog man’s never had enough. Little dog man has someone in his hands already but it’s not all that he’s wanted and craved. He’s hungered for so long and now he doesn’t know what can quench it. When you’ve been hungry, once you have something it’s hard to not binge eat it because you never know when you’ll lose it. He wants more from them, more of them, more to chew, more safely locked within his teeth, more to taste on his tongue. Hungry greedy unkempt misbehaved. I think he loves like a dog I think he slobbers and digs his teeth in because he doesn’t want to let his bone go and he’s hungry and starved.

And he’s not like Laios he’s not like Kuro he’s not like Lycion, calling him a dog in any way would be the greatest offense to him but also it’s true. Sorry. Dogboy against your consent. You better be ready to unpack a lot of stuff you don’t like hearing about yourself!!!! The unwilling dogboy analogies are the most interesting ones get out Laios and Lycion. Mick doesn’t want to be a dog, it’s dehumanizing, demeaning, but he is, he loves like a dog.

Feeling dehumanized and demeaned by loving so much, by being walked on a leash by your feelings until your body acts on instinct like it’s primal and animalistic, for feelings you cannot control, and you’re drooling you’re drooling you’re clawing teeth snapping but you’re on hands and knees begging for scraps and treats. Just a dog picking up crumbs of a fine meal from where it’s dropped on the floor, affection from coerced hands, peanuts of self-esteem from judging others, anything to soothe while surviving.

It will come back by Hozier save me. "I love like a dog" and everyone is unhappy about this, it’s too much for everyone involved, 10/10. Dunmeshi animalistic metaphors you never miss. Stray dog mick. If I don’t use a dog motif in my mick fics it’s not me someone is impersonating me

This was my train of thought for the mickbell & kuro web weaving i made a while ago I guess. Dog imagery mickbell you will always get to me…

Little dog man wants a white picket fence family and house, somewhere someone to belong to :( Okay that’s more Kuro actually, happy to just have his little kennel day after day just following his owner, shackling yourself for the love. Ough.

Mickbell, my ultimate dogboy... He plays the part so well (derogatory)

Coughing blood

Omg I loved your herald viktor epic line idea I’ve been thinking about it nonstop. If u have time and energy id love to read it sooo much ❤️❤️

Since the Ithica Saga dropped last night my brain has not known a single moment of peace. "Would You Fall in Love with Me Again" is just so insanely perfect for a Machine Herald Viktor x Reader AU it makes me physically ill. Like, seriously:

I am not the man you fell in love with

I am not the man you once adored

//

Would you fall in love with me again

If you knew all I've done?

The things I cannot change

Would you love me all the same?

//

Would you fall in love with me again

If you knew all I've done?

The things I can't undo

I'm not the man you knew

Viktor is so Odysseus coded it is PAINFUL. The pain of sacrificing so much of himself to survive. The regret of everyone he's had to leave behind, to betray. The ghosts of his legacy haunting his mind. All for his goal, the one thing he knows he's meant to do with every fiber of his being. Nothing, neither magic nor gods, will stop him from fulfilling that dream. He will not be the same once all has passed, and he will never regain all that he's lost. Can the person who loved him the most as he was before still love this version of him?

And the reader's answer...

I will fall in love with you

Over and over again

I don't care how, where, or when

No matter how long it's been

You're mine

Because what you loved about him is deeper than any of the ways he's changed. It's something at his core, in his soul, in the light of his eyes, no matter how tired they may seem now. It's your first kiss, it's the sound of his voice in your ear, it's the curve of his lips when he smirks, it's the way he looks at you like he falls in love all over again every day you're with him. Time may pass, and the world may change, but not this. Never this.

He is yours just as you are his, and that is the one thing that will never change.

If we get a scene of Stone riding his motorcycle and STILL have to deal with the fact that Rob leaves him later on….it’s on sight.
