I'm allowed to make this joke, but I love that Jewish death rituals are like:

"Pfeh, for what should I spend $12,000 on a big fekakte box they see only for five minutes before they cover it with dirt?"

"Don't waste my good suit what might fit my nephew Lev if the bum should ever even try to get a real job!"

"Embalming? Don't mind me, I'll rot in the dark."

star trek fans specifically are crazy for that. you say "im not really comfortable watching tos because of the way captain kirk interacts with women" and 900000 people come crawling oit of the woodwork to say UM ACTUALLY kirk is a GENTLEMAN FEMINIST who is ALWAYS NICE and VERY BISEXUAL! and the only people who think he acts like that are the DUMB PIG CHAUVINIST MEN who think kirk is LIKE THEM! okay im actually referring to how he constantly grabs at women esp when they're unhappy and physically restrains them. or the weird sexually charged comments he makes. or his persistent assumption of all women as available and simple things to be acquired or controlled. and sometimes they lobby back with the "well Its Made In The Sixties so of course its Dated but its still PROGRESSIVE!" okay well its so dated that im not comfortable. i cant just say to myself "oh well it was another time" and immediately become blind to whats happening before my eyes.

I don’t even have the words to be coherent right now but that holiday comic was PERFECT! This is so important. This is so important to me. And Noel feeling like it isn’t genuine because of his time away from celebration in the Dreamlands??? I’m sobbing. I’m crying, actually. Genuinely, thank you. Losing my mind over here-

TEEHEE TYSM I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH IT <333 Noel makes me ILL and I love letting him have nice things sometimes, which includes revisiting old traditions with his loved ones <333

Was thinking how rare non-sexual intimacy must be in Gabriel's life. He watches Netflix wrapped in a blanket with Sam and it reminds him of the times he sat with Loki in front of a campfire. Lying in bed and talking to Sam makes him think of Kali. Being real and being vulnerable means living with ghosts from past lifetimes.

Hello kids, today I’d like to preach to you about the deep eroticism of The Fight, because warriormale literally lives in my mind and compels me to speak.

When Ram and Bheem wrestle outside the governor’s palace, they are releasing so much sexual energy, it’s actually insane. Hell, even before the wrestling, when they’re exchanging punches, there’s this sizzling tension that they’re both too heartbroken to actually think about, but it comes out subconsciously, in how their bodies react to each other. Bheem takes each punch standing up, then fuckin smacks the shit out of Ram, knocking him to the ground, showing his dominance. Ram whips his head to the side to LEER at Bheem before deciding his next attack.

And what is his next attack? TO CLIMB UP BHEEM’S THIGH and THROW HIM TO THE GROUND so he can MOUNT HIM. Bheem does not kick out of this hold or push Ram’s body away, he ROLLS OVER, TANGLING HIS LEGS with Ram’s, keeping him close. He refuses to go on the defensive, he must stay on the attack, to overpower Ram with the strength of his thighs. This need, this primal masculine aggression, is shared by both men as they continue rolling over each other. It is such an intricate ritual!

They are so deeply, intimately familiar with each other’s bodies. Think of how Bheem yanks open Ram’s legs so he can get right between his thighs. He knows where Ram bends and folds. He’s been here before. Think of how Bheem shoves his hand over Ram’s face to hold him down, covering his lips and nose, feeling his heat and insisting upon his submission. Think of how Bheem LIFTS RAM UP dirty-dancing-style to twirl him around, embraced by his thighs, testosterone spiking like adrenaline.

There’s a raw physicality that is shared between sex and combat that’s difficult to describe to those who don’t feel it. It is so primitive, so base, it defies logic. Ram and Bheem have absolutely no reason to be turned on during this fight. They’re both utterly heartbroken, to a point where they’re basically dying inside. And yet their bodies tingle with desire; the desire to touch, smack, yank, bite, grab, hug, roll, spread, fuck. They can’t help it! That’s why they fight so close and tight, because the magnetism pulling them together is stronger than the betrayal tearing them apart.

Absolutely nobody on this earth can convince me that I’m wrong!

Me, fighting tooth and nail against my irl friends who are sw*fties: yeah well, maybe I want my sad girl music to have a 3 minute guitar solo and distorted audio after the second verse of vaguely gay lyrics have you considered that ?!

if I were a statue in a temple I’d be fed so much better than a beggar who sits right outside the same walls. The statue isn’t ‘drinking’ the milk or the honey. It isn’t eating the fruits or the sesame seeds or the high-grade oil you offer. Not the sweets, not the homemade pooris. Not the other prasad. The tiny stone statue isn’t wearing or being warmed by the dhoti you donated. Neither is the man with the tattered clothes outside the temple walls. The pundit is pocketing that ₹500 you put in front of the statue. You ‘bathed’ a stone while reciting the tale of a god’s bath in Sanskrit. The milk, ghee and honey run into the drain.

Call me a fucking heretic but how is this right.

How to Pray

Decide who you want to pray to. (Examples: Artemis, Juno, SkaðI, Lugh, Cernunnos …)

Clear off a small shelf or surface if you don't have a ritual space.

Add a printout of The god's image or pull up an image on your phone.

Spend a few moments saying hello.

Pick a time to come back.

Give offerings, if you can — for example, pour a sip of your tea or coffee into a bowl before you leave in the mornings.

The way Luke and Dom + Phil are lashing out at one another because they've got different lifestyles and they've ended up in different places, and they each see the other as bragging or judgemental over it, and they ARE each being judgemental, and the truth being that they're all deeply unhappy where they've landed,,
