honestly i feel for daniel in episode five because he had to stare at louis sucking on armand's neck for ten minutes straight. but i also feel for eric, the actor, the man who once said the biting is the hottest thing about vampires, who had to stare at jacob sucking on assad's neck for ten minutes straight,

Okay, Christians of Tumblr, it's prayer chain time. If you reblog, pray for the person you reblog this from. Feel free to add a specific prayer request in the tags if you like.

Goodbye Akira Toriyama

I have heard the news of the tragic passing.

He was a great Mangaka, some say the best.

His works touched so many that went to create Manga, and other fiction.

I can not even properly explain how much his work touched me.

Thank you, Toriyama.

Prayer request: I've developed an infection. Please add me to your prayers in you loving kindness. God bless.

[last Sunday of September] Update: GP determined not deep tissue, just passing topical colony. Have antibiotics on standby if necessary. Health resources will give me disabilities coverage and one month retro if approved (pls pray!). This will also open other resources my local GP can access and request on my behalf if it all passes. It also may give me small stipend for out of pocket medical needs not covered by heath insurance .

If you would also pray that I can obtain medical grade sheep skin quickly, esp before our trip to integrated healthcare specialist.

You are all so wonderful praying for our needs. Please know i give thanks for your prayer support. I love you all; may God bless and keep you always.

OH MY GOD Heretic (2024) has me by the throat. I feel like this one is definitely worth rewatching, because it TELLS you so much, it advertises SO MUCH right away, and it's sinister how it plays out!

Does Sister Barnes have faith? Does Sister Paxton actually believe she's seen evidence of god from, hilariously, some amateur porn? You're given the idea Sister Paxton believes more but she has no converts and no baptisms. Sister Barnes is questioning, but she's more successful. Why is that? (Is it the big sad eyes?) When they spot the teenagers in the street and Sister Paxton earnestly says "I love them," they immediately betray her. She loves the world. Its cruel. She wants to save this man. He's cruel. Faith and cruelty. Iterations. The butterfly image. The dead moths coating the window. Belief and disbelief and god damn it's tasty. Quick aside, did anyone else think he drugged those drinks or not? I worried initially, but I think it was genuinely just another one of his tests for later. Also it's insidious how Reed tells them "truths." He tells them the walls and ceiling have metal but they don't know that would block cell phones. He tells them the front door locks by a mechanism timer that doesn't come undone until daylight, (but he can switch it off). He tells them the house is wired weird. He tells them he put the aromatic pie there, he tests them, and it's so. Good! So when he tells them about religion, his motivations, his study of theology, and the challenge from Sister Barnes (the faithless? Who choses Belief and stands up to him? Who has her throat slit as the sacrificial lamb? Beautiful, tragic) is the other side of that. The flipside of the coin. Hugh Grant is AMAZING in this, because he's Hugh Granting it up but instead of a comedy, it's a horror. Unsettling to the max. Why? Because it's just the power of humanity and faith. It's JUST. The power. Of humanity. And Faith. It's nothing supernatural. It's using knowledge, history, the arts, humanity and psychology. As a weapon. Longlegs fell short for me because it was eventually supernatural and I thought it clunky and mishandled in the second half. This one? It's just humans. It's just an evil man. And it's visceral. More grounded, which makes it Terrifying. Even when faced with a miracle, we learn it's false. It's a magic trick. Even when we could pray, we're told BY THE PERSON. WHO IS FAITHFUL, that it means nothing, but sometimes it's beautiful to still pray for someone. Which brings me to the point where Sister Paxton was stabbed and praying in level...three? of his twisted Dante's inferno house? Actually, quick aside to that, I love the back and forth of quoting Spider-Man or Voltaire. Quoting Virgil or the Swamp Thing. It's again putting them on opposite sides, another mirror. But also showing the house itself as a labyrinth, yes, but specifically I think that was Dante's Inferno poster in his office, making Paxton Virgil, travelling the levels of Hell to the frozen pit/horrifying chamber of cages where he keeps other pious women, going Through to get Out. "Sister P" Is praying even though she Just said it does nothing. Reed crawling towards her, his own throat slit. But there's this moment where he's draped over her, sobbing or choking, looking for the warmth of her prayer, I think trying to feel her belief because he's been searching for it for so long and he's left empty. Before he can find peace (or kill her, did he have his knife to her throat to kill her? I think he would, but I still think he had this moment where he wished he could believe to find peace with someone, especially after seeing that interview where Grant stated backstory of Reed that he was a lonely man who lost someone dearly to him and he searched through religions to find comfort and couldn't) he's killed. He's smashed in the head with the McGuffin from earlier. Victory. Did Barnes come back? I think she was saving her strength and had one final moment to help her friend. And then that fucking ending. Is she dead? Is she alive? Was the butterfly real? Did she believe? Is it only her belief, her butterfly, or is a final hallucination before she passes? Did she make it out of Hell? Anyways, I'm going to have to see this again soon. Delicious. Horrifying. Loved it.

Hopes and prayers.

A good friend collapsed at Christmas and has been found to have an had an aneurysm.

Only family have been in to see her, and while she showed signs of improvement, asking football scores! She has since spent most of the past fortnight lapsing in and out of a coma. Her family have asked a priest to see her today to administer the last rites, the doctors were going to switch off all support for her, but a scam today has shown a slight improvement.

Please use whatever God you believe in, if any, to pray for her, or send healing thoughts to her.

Her name is Terry Rooney and she is in Edinburgh Royal infirmary. 🙏

Ok so im just copying what i said to a friend when discussing wktd

Thinking about the steam achievements for the individual endings. “No prince for the princesses” is easy to understand, jupiter is the butch of the trio so it an easy leap.

“Lukewarm i spit you out” This passage of the bible is mainly used to against indecisiveness, this carries interesting implications for Neptune, her meanness is hidden with kindness, and her kindness is hidden with meanness, leaving her, lukewarmwhen it comes to interactions.

“Help me god im in love” this took me a bit to parse out. But think, for that brief moment, where Venus was the truest her she could, she saw everything, ranging from how this would end, to why this happens, but more importantly, how she felt about the other two, and knowing that they’ll always now be this separation between her and the other two
