rating how much i think the members of The Guild would enjoy the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid
Francis Scott Fitzgerald — 2/10
the pyramid cumulatively cost around $300 million, if my memory serves me, so he’d probably appreciate it a little bit. other than that, he would literally never go because his darling Zelda wouldn’t enjoy it.
Louisa May Alcott — 2/10
get this sweet girl out of this strange ass pyramid Right Fucking Now. she’s said to be terrified of heights, so she’d hate the balcony and the elevator. she might enjoy some of the candy they sell there (and maybe the wax melts) but other than that, she’d just patiently wait to go home.
Herman Melville — 10/10
this is an old man whose life’s greatest passion is fishing. he’d fucking adore that place.
Edgar Allan Poe — 7.3/10
this might be controversial but listen guys. listen to me. this man owns a pet raccoon. he’s a professional sniper. he’s going to have a healthy amount of respect for the damn pyramid. plus, due to it being so damn large, there wouldn’t be many chittering crowds to annoy him. and i know it was said that he has a fear of heights, but considering that he spent that time off the Moby Dick scheming and releasing classified documents and the fact that he’s a sniper (requiring being positioned in high-up locations) i’m pretty sure his ass was lying. he still wouldn’t go up the elevator and onto the balcony though because those are crowded and loud places. also some guy claimed that the pyramid was a front for a cult (false) and that there was a crystal skull placed at the top at some point (true) and i think he’d really fuck with that kind of lore.
H.P. Lovecraft — 0/10
would be a 10/10 if the staff let him take a power nap at the bottom of the alligator enclosure. but alas
John Steinbeck — 10/10
this is a man of the country. get his ass in the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid this instant. besides i think he’d enjoy taking all his siblings there and letting them look around and have fun. family bonding
Lucy Maud Montgomery — 3/10
i really don’t think she’d enjoy it all that much tbh. though i do believe she walks outta there with a stuffed moose 100%
Mark Twain — 12/10
he is HOME. he’s looking at all the gun accessories and products available, Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn floating around him and giving their own commentary. also you cannot convince me that he didn’t work at his local Bass Pro Shop when he was a teenager. he was employee of the month always.
Margaret Mitchell — 7.8/10
if you’re from the south, you enjoy the pyramid. enough said.
Nathaniel Hawthorne — 4/10
tbh he’d probably be very indifferent. the only reason it’s not lower is because Margaret had a good time

IF JESUS HAD DIED IN 2000
Paul would be writing his various letters* in the 2020's *the letters that most scholars consider genuine; Galatians, 1 Thessalonians, 1-2 Corinthians, Romans, Philipians & Philemon - a generation later and having never known Jesus in person
Gospel of Mark won't be written until around the 2030's - with no claims of Jesus' virgin birth, ascension and divinity
Gospel of Matthew won't be written until around the 2040's - with the first record of virgin birth, Bethlehem origin, guards & angel at tomb
Gospel of Luke won't be written until around the 2050's - with the first record of a post-resurrection Jesus eating, appearing & disappearing and ascension to heaven
Gospel of John won't be written until around the 2060's - with the first record of the incarnation of Jesus (god-man), divinity claims of Jesus, the seven "I am" sayings of Jesus and Jesus' lengthy discourse with Pilate
This sure sounds like something that people just made up.

Fun fact please?
Today You Learned about Shion/Shony.
[Wikipedia’s article is under ‘Seonaidh’, but I read about it under the name ‘Shion’ in Mark Williams’s book.]
So, in the early 1700’s book A Description of the Western Islands of Scotland by Martin Martin (yes, that is his name) describes an annual nighttime ritual on the Isle of Lewis, in the Hebrides, in which the local church community would get together, pick someone to hold a cup of ale, and then wade into the water and dump it in while declaring it an offering to Shion or Shony to have a prosperous harvest. Now Marty-Mart thought that this was a holdover from an old pagan religion. It was popularly believed by scholars that ‘Shion’ must have been some old Celtic deity of the sea, whose cult was long forgotten, but that this one little island off the coast of Scotland remembered, if only for this one little holiday. Wikipedia even calls this ‘likely’, though it doesn’t have a citation for that sentence.
Welp. Probably not, according to Mark Williams.
In his book Ireland’s Immortals, Mark Williams talks about Marty-Mart’s records, and his own research. He also brings up that acclaimed scholar Ronald Hutton (famous debunker of New Age nonsense) independently came to the same conclusion, and that is this: this probably isn’t a pre-Christian ritual that survived. This is probably a pre-Reformation ritual that survived. After all, ‘Seonaidh’ is close to the Scottish Gaelic form of ‘Johnny’, in the same way that ‘Sean’ is the Irish take on ‘John’. Williams suggests that, given there are a ton of weird little festivals for saints all over the world, and the prominence of water, this is probably a ritual feast celebration to Saint John the Baptist, and it somehow survived the Reformation in this remote corner of Scotland.
A bit weird, but I hope it’s a good Fun Fact.

It has been a while since I last posted but I figured I’d post some stained glass windows that I have encountered. A portion of the glass here are from the Reading Public Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The vast majority are from Episcopal Churches which I’ll tag to save space.

KISS - Then, now, forever.
Members of KISS's legendary musical journey.
Some had brief roles but they still played a vital role in the historical rise of the band that claims to be and continues to be "the best".
No offense to many of the members and the millions of fans out there, (especially here on Tumblr) but I STILL feel the best lineup of KISS was the original 4 that started it all:
Ace Frehley (space ace)
Gene Simmons (the demon)
Paul Stanley (star child)
and
Peter Criss (the catman).
#KISS#ace frehley#space ace#gene simmons#the demon#paul stanley#star child#bruce kulick#eric singer#vinnie vincent cusano#mark saint john#tommy thayer#eric carr#the fox#you wanted the best you got the best#since 1973#band members#lineup changes#gone but not forgotten

François-Joseph Navez (Belgian, 1787-1869) The Incredulity of Saint Thomas, 1823 Thomas the Apostle—often referred to as “Doubting Thomas”—was one of the twelve main disciples of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of John, Thomas famously doubted Jesus’ resurrection, telling the other disciples, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe” (John 20:25). Jesus then appeared and offered to let him do just that. Upon seeing Jesus in the flesh with his own eyes (and possibly touching the wounds), Thomas proclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28). Jesus responded with one of the most powerful and prophetic statements about faith in all of Scripture: “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed” (John 20:29).

Okay I really want to hear your thoughts because I always thought the Naked Youth was John Mark Patron Saint of Cowards for no real reason other than 1) its only found in his gospel and 2) he's the patron saint of cowards lol
i get the appeal of judas x jesus, definitely but you guys are sleeping on john the apostle x jesus. like john? john the beloved? john, the disciple whom jesus loved? now there was leaning on jesus' bosom one of disciples whom jesus loved? the only one specifically mentioned to be present during his crucifixion? the apostle of love?
idk there is something so intimate about how throughout the gospel of john, this 'disciple whom jesus loved' keeps getting mentioned like "then peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom jesus loved following" or during jesus' crucifixion where "when jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved", but it's never explicitly mentioned that it's john. this phrase keeps getting mentioned again and again, in the end of the gospel of john, it's implied the beloved is like "it is this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true." the writer of the gospel of john, so the guy that's identifying himself as the beloved disciple is john the evangelist, who is believed to be john the apostle (not confirmed but most popular belief). like think of this, john is not even named in the gospel, he refers to himself anonymously as the disciple whom jesus loved. little hints all over like the closing sentiment with the testimony and stuff. AAA like damn.
also. scholars keep arguing over whether jesus and john the beloved's relationship could be seen as homoerotic. legitimate thing, christopher marlowe was on trial for blasphemy for claiming that "st john the evangelist was bedfellow to christ and leaned always on his bosom" like come on. think about them.
#no i am not over#patron saint of cowards#i'm not catholic#but i will make it happen#john the beloved#(the greatest disciple)#john mark

I missed my boys so I’m back at headcanons
Misc headcanons
Characters: Arthur Morgan, John Marston, Dutch Van Der Linde, Charles Smith, Javier Escuella, Sean MacGuire, Lenny Sunmers, Kieran Duffy, Micah Bell, Eagle Flies
Arthur Morgan
Super awkward about gift giving but he loves giving you little trinkets from his adventures. Like a small flower or a pretty Little Rock
He’s just like “here” drops it in your hand and then stands there awkwardly
Doesn’t hide his facial expressions as well as he thinks he does.
He loves to gossip. If you tell him something juicy he acts like he doesn’t care but he’ll drop something even crazier with a smirk
Reluctantly tells you about his adventures but he just doesn’t want to brag
John Marston
Every time he asks for you to bathe with him it ends up with him getting a scrub down instead of getting headed (he doesn’t know why he expects anything else anymore)
Thinks burps are peak comedy.
He likes when you ask his opinion about things even though he’ll bullshit his way through
Like a purple or blue shirt? Hmm it’s cold so wear the blue one because blue is for cold.
Accidentally shows his buttcrack a lot. His pants just never sit on his hips right and I just…I can feel it.
Dutch Van Der Linde
He likes dates where you two go out into Saint Denis and pretend to be someone else for the night.
Likes picking out your outfits for you. He finds it romantic.
Has a thing for helping you tie or buckle your shoes
Always thinks the smallest knees is the biggest news or the other way around
Tries to dance with you in the most random of moments. Like you’re a little pissed about something and he’ll come up to you and just start swaying
Charles Smith
Cannot stand when people share food by sucking on peoples fingers. Like when people dip their finger into the cake batter and share it.
Has the most obvious side eye ever. He simply cannot hide it.
Favorite cuddling position is where you lay on top of him
He doesn’t drink much but when he does he’s a completely different person.
Will bluntly ask you a weird question like “what alcohol do you think would be your horse’s favorite”
Javier Escuella
Likes lipstick marks. Thinks it’s one of the most attractive things ever. Has a shirt where you left a lipstick stain on the collar
Says the sassiest shit under his breath 5 minutes after it’s relevant and gets pissed
Rehearses a conversation in his head before he has it
Makes you learn Spanish for “code words” but reallt he just wants to teach you Spanish
Has a habit of repeating words just for himself outside of conversations
Sean MacGuire
He thinks he’s the suavest mother fucker around. He will randomly share how he pulled you to random people
Makes the worst inside jokes he’ll never drop
Loves to spin you around randomly. He doesn’t care if you hate it.
Keeps food in his pockets (sometimes wrapped in cloth) and doesn’t see a problem with it
Thinks cringy pet names are the best like “snugglemuffin”
Lenny Summers
One of his favorite dates are leisurely strolls
He liked when you help him get dressed. Like help him with his vest
Idk why I think he has like the same idea as romance as those really happy old people
Likes when you keep him company while he’s patrolling
Loves cheek kisses! One of his favorite things ever!
Kieran Duffy
He likes to join you if you have a self care routine.
Likes to share things with you. Like some food or his clothes.
Makes the most out there “what ifs” or “would you rather” questions
Just casually knows how to do decent hairstyles because he got bored while working with the horses.
Wakes up too easily. At the smallest thing. You could twitch and he’s stirring awake
Micah Bell
Thinks it’s funny to ghost you. He always says stuff like “distance makes the heart grow fonder”
Really good at catching flies and mosquitoes
Will prompt the weirdest shit as if it’s normal just to fuck with you
Will give you the meanest compliments like “I hate inbreds…not you though” because he thinks it’s charming AND funny
Randomly gives you a good shove every now and then
Eagle flies
He absolutely loves getting a rise out of you like sometimes he does something stupid just for you to scold him
Affectionally bites. At first it was a joke but now he just casually does it. He’ll grab your hand and pressed a light bite to your wrist
Gets comfortable in the weirdest positions. Even while cuddling.
Talks about your future with him way too soon.
He thinks it’s funny to randomly “propose” to you

Day 3: Engraved in the Flesh || Finn Shelby x Reader
Requested by a lovely anon 🖤
TW: Kinktober prompt- marked, canonical violence, violent sexual practice, spanking, marking kink, non-protected sex, allusion to anal
Words: 630.
Notes: This work is a part of the Peaky Kinktober Event you can find here. Comment on the event post if you want to be tagged in the future works for Kinktober. The length of each prompt is random, but it’s never less than 600 words.
The family never suspected something to be wrong with the youngest of the tribe. After all, he had been lucky enough not to know the ugly truth of war nor the physical and emotional torment of hunger or poverty. If anything, Finn had grown up under Polly’s loving wing. Even if he was accustomed with gangs violence, he never truly took part of it before his brothers deemed him old enough. Arthur, Tommy and John worked hard so that he would never had to take a bullet like they did. They wanted him to be a general, not a disposable and vulnerable soldier. When he started to hang out with the pastor’s daughter, his Aunt was delighted. All of Birmingham knew how kind and quiet Y/N was. Holy Saint among the sinners, the young woman often wandered in the gritty streets of Small Heath with a basket filled with food she usually distributed to the poorest souls. Y/N left a bright sunshine in her wake, all the darkness of the place caught in her long coal black hair. Rumors said that when she smiled, even the most wicked men couldn’t lay a finger on her, all blissed out by her beauty and her divine aura of peacefulness. The bruises on her delicate skin? She was just incredibly clumsy. That was what her father always told her! And when she wasn’t bumping or tripping, the heavy basket she carried marked the flesh of her forearms.
But when the night came and the devils danced under the pale moonlight, she disappeared through her window and ran away from home, swallowed by the dull forest nearby. Y/N hid in an old vargo that belonged to the Shelby family, guided by the weak string lights hanging at the door, and she impatiently waited for Finn Shelby to appear in the doorway with a bottle of whisky in one hand, and a red rose in the other. Then their sordid and obscene ritual started, always following the same order: He slipped the flower in her hair, its crimson and velvety petals enhancing her beauty and suiting the color of the lipstick she had stolen from her mother. Then, they made the temperature rise, hands roaming on flesh clothes flying across the vardo. Only when the bottle of whisky was empty and their arousal reaching its limits, he assaulted her tight cunt with violent and rapid thrusts. A glistening and fragile pussy that only knew his cock. No one else’s. The way her warmth and wetness wrapped him sent his soul to heaven, making his lashes flutter. He was supposed to be a nice boy. She was supposed to be a holy and virginal girl.
So why? Why were they fucking like animals each night in the woods, filling the air with moans, flesh snapping sound and sweat? Why did he bend her over and spank her with his suit’s belt — and why did she enjoy it, her love juice trailing down her thighs more and more at each new beating? Finn grunted in her mouth when he came, painting her walls white and keeping her full til the morning. That was how Y/N liked him: engraved in her flesh, and dripping from her sore holes.
“Tsss, be more careful Y/N. You’re black and blue.” Her father scolded her, eyes rolling with annoyance at his daughter’s carelessness that revealed itself through her purplish bruises on her legs, thighs and neck. Little he knew that all her skin had been painted blue, immaculate flesh turned into a masterpiece by the brush of a mad artist. Y/N was both the canva and the muse, letting Finn Shelby turned her into what their love had always been: nothing gentle but the embodiment of Sin.

I am die hard on the idea that Mark 16:9-20 shouldn't be in our Bibles. Not even for like purity reasons (as I said, I like John 8). It's for literary reasons. The original ending just makes more sense verses to me then the longer version.
My NKJV Bible commentary disagrees with me but what do they know lo *shrugs*. (Example: Same commentary believes in the rapture.)
"Oh Mark wouldn't end his gospel on a note of fear" Yes he would. He told me himself. He would.
Also Mark? John Mark? Notorious coward? The boy who abandoned Jesus - naked? Who abandoned Paul?? Who according to tradition got his information from Peter - whoc cowardly denied Jesus 3 times??
I think John Mark - Patron Saint of the Afraid - knows a thing or two about fear and the horror of God's presence.
Anyway, these are just my thoughts
Question: @/christian tumblr, what are yalls thoughts on John 8? Specifically the section that is apparently not there in the original manuscript that was added later (the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery)?
My personal conviction is that it doesn't matter if it was in the original or not because it perfectly makes sense for something like this to have happened even if it didn't; it's not a contradiction of anything so I have no reason to question it. In fact, it supports the narrative greatly.
That said, anyone else have any thoughts??
#cathblr#we should get john mark to be#patron saint of the afraid#of teenagers going to college#of people who go abroad#of immigrants and refugees#of people drafted into war#also notes:#i know that the young fugitive probably wasn't naked#he basically would be so#also i think mark abandoning paul was kinda valid#i love paul#but being constantly in danger of dying??#i'm good#something to meditate on
