#sorry if youre not a man. or a christian man of G-d. and to all those who like love triangles

[grapecaseschoices]

A and N should have been a poly option instead of a love triangle. If a love triangle does not end in a poly I do not want it unless it is a romcom. /lh 😭😭

You're right and you should say it.

Be prepared to throw it away from you anon.

2a, really) Because it will end in a LT and it won't be a romcom. Sorry to disappoint. Sera didn't tell me. But I'm a pisces. I'm intuitive like that.

NSFW alphabet: Christian Cage

Okay so this is my take on the alphabet for Sir Turtleneck! Some of this is observed by comments from the podcast (nothing too raunchy tho) and others is just what sounds right for him.

I hope you guys like it! Also if you haven’t already, check out my most recent fic called “Punishment”. It’s one that I’m very proud of ☺️

Warning: +18 only, NSFW, so minors DNI please!

A (Aftercare):

An absolute sweetheart! He’s the type of guy that would do all the cleaning up after if it means he gets to cuddle up with you after it’s all done. Though I’d like to imagine he would tease you and try to make you laugh because that’s just the type of man he is

B (Body part, favourite of his and yours):

For him, he’s all about your thighs and ass. There’s nothing more he loves than to touch, squeeze, kiss, bite all over your lower half.

For you, it’s his chest and his biceps. Something about seeing his chest hair and his strong arms just gets you so riled up and ready

C (Cum. Do I even need to explain?):

This man is very safe when it comes to sex. If you really beg him, he’ll treat you by finishing inside you. But he regularly practises safe sex. Better safe than sorry!

D (Dirty secret):

It’s not something he would freely admit, but he absolutely loves when you dominate him. He’s a tease and a brat in the bedroom. As much as he loves being the one to control your pleasure, he loves it a little bit more when the roles are reversed

E (Experience):

He’s not been with an insane amount of people, but he is experienced enough to know exactly what he’s doing and how to attend to your every need and order

F (Favourite position):

There’s nothing better than good old missionary; being able to watch you writhe with pleasure under him, begging him for more is exhilarating for him. But if he’s feeling absolutely feral for you? Doggy style.

G (Goofy during sex or serious):

He’s typically very serious, more focused on the act but that doesn’t stop him from joking about if something a little embarrassing happens to lighten the mood

H (Hair, how well groomed?):

He’s not a fan of being bare down there. Or having a jungle going on. He keeps it at a perfect balance: there’s a fair amount of hair but it’s neatly trimmed. He’s quite the perfectionist

I (Intimacy, how romantic is he during):

VERY. His love language is a mix of good deeds, words of affirmation, and touch. And he will spend hours on making the atmosphere perfect if he has to. You’ll always get a nice treat before sex whether it’s a massage, nice dinner, or a speech about how beautiful you are

J (Jack off, does he masturbate often):

Only if he can’t get to you. If you’re around him, why would he use his hand when he can just go and find you to help him out? The same applies to you, you never need to lift a finger to please yourself if he’s around!

K (Kinks):

This. Man. Is. Kinky. He loves a bit of BDSM if he’s in the right mood, with things being done to both of you (usually you however. He’s got sensitive skin!)

He adores marking you with love bites, making sure everyone knows you belong to him.

Another plus is that he’s very experimental in the bedroom, he’ll always try anything once. Anything.

L (Location, favourite place to have sex):

Although he will try anything once, that sticks to the bedroom. The fear of being caught or heard is too much for him to want to try having sex anywhere else. Though he will let you get him off in bathrooms, showers, or anywhere that he can quickly hide himself

M (Motivation, turn ons):

As simple as it sounds, just touching his thigh is enough to get him interested. Especially when you let your hand travel up or towards his inner thigh.

Seeing you in minimal clothing (or anything for that matter. He’s so in love with you that he’s always ready) really gets him going

N (No’s in the bedroom):

As mentioned, he’ll try anything once. But he’s not one to share you with anyone, boy or girl. He gets jealous very easily and wants you all to himself. Spitting is a big no no. It will definitely make him nauseous.

O (Oral, giver/receiver):

He will never say no to receiving oral from you. Out of all the experiences he’s had, you do it best. But he does prefer to give it. Having your thighs squeeze his head as he goes down on you is almost enough to make him cum there and there. And he is very good at eating you out. His mouth isn’t just used for talking

P (Pace):

He could go either way. But slow and sensual is his strong point. He can really take his time with giving you what you want without rushing it. It feels better for you both that way too

Q (Quickies?):

Occasionally! But it’s very rare that he will go for one with you. Again, he’d rather take his time with you so he can fully appreciate you and the experience

R (Risk, down to experiment?):

Yes, he’ll do anything at least once to see if it’s something you’re both into. That’s how you found out he likes to be dominated after all!

S (Stamina):

He’s not able to go as much as he used to but he’ll still give you a few rounds every so often. Just as long as by round three you go on top dos he can catch his breath properly

T (Toys):

Oh yes, he has a small collection! It mostly consists of vibrators, cock rings, plugs. But there’s one or two dildos that you two have experimented with 👀

U (Unfair, how much of a tease is he?):

He loves to tease you. It’s the quickest way to get you to punish him for being a brat and getting what he really wants

V (Volume):

He’s louder than you’d expect actually! Though he still keeps it just quiet enough for only you to hear him

W (Wildcard, random headcanon):

You’ve caught him trying on some of your clothes: panties, dress, skirt, crop tops. You won’t admit it to him just yet, but you so badly want to have sex with him in your clothes

X (X-Ray, what’s under the clothes):

A comfortable 5 inches for sure. It’s not the biggest or the thickest but fuck, does he know how to use it

Y (Yearning, how high is his sex drive?):

Still just as high as it used to be! His age is just a number and won’t stop him from needing you day in and day out

Z (Zzz, how quick does he sleep after):

Not crazy quick, he’ll stay awake for a little bit, maybe an hour? He wants to spend that time relaxing with you, chatting, and cuddling

[tsuki-sennin]

After the surprise worldwide invasion of the Bognaarok, the Ohsama Sentai have gone and done it! Knocked them back real good! However... the strange jubilation of the Bognaarok is cut short by the appearance of a mysterious man...

...yes, I'm still narrating, I can't have Jeremy be the only one around here, can I?

Spoilers, I guess...

-You must be this infamous Spiders Jeremy I've heard so much about.

-"You old. Cringe. Fail. Ratio."

-The world is about to be flipped.

-"Yeah sorry, Gira vanished. ...don't ask where he is, Racles doesn't need to know."

-Kaguragi's nerves of steel.

-Makes sense, bees are absolutely vicious critters.

-"A proper state funeral."

-...I really like your new hairstyle, Himeno.

-Absolutely immaculate.

-Gira has long fantasized about his life as a revenant.

-Based Kuroda.

-Aw that's sweet, Yanma's having fun.

-What they believe in :)

-ROBO GIRA

-"Becoming a cyborg is every dude's dream!" ...you uh... have no idea how ironic that is.

-Oh well, this is cute :)

-What've you got for us, my Queen?

-A fairy tale~!

-JESUS GIRA

-Rita is unmoved by evil, cyborgs, or Christianity.

-MOFUN

-It's important to have nice stories in times of conflict.

-Rita almost got spoiled on their blorbo show.

-I'd ask "What kind of kids' cartoon has smugglers" but when I was a kid I was a fan of the PBS Kids program Wild Kratts, starring the very same Chris and Martin Kratt behind Zoboomafoo. Wild Kratts had a rotating cast of poachers, so I can understand the importance of showing criminal masterminds.

-Awwww, Kogane-neesan :)

-As long as there is one person who believes in you.

By love and trust and faith will we be saved. A single soul's enough, when 'gainst the world We stand. Apart. Alone. Believe in me, We plead. We pray. And answer they… I will…

-By the way, go play Live A Live, it's goated.

-Hello, Jimmy.

-Oh, a lady Bug!

-Nagabajim~!

-Our boy is dead :(

-"Shut the fuck up, Racules!"

-Oh

-Uh oh

-Ohhhhh, that's spider web.

-"Waaaaaaah~! Waaaaaaaaaaah~! Girraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Cry you fool!"

-"Oh, excuse me..."

-"I don't like your idea, Racules."

-FUCKER TOOK GIRA

-"Oops~!"

-Okay, that's just silly.

-What's your deal, spider boy?

-W

-Wh

-What

-D

-Did you shit on him????

-Oh my god, you did!

-Kind of a storyteller, okay

-I mean, you guys are trying to kill people.

-I don't doubt that the Bognaarok's disdain didn't come from nowhere, considering you live deep underground while humanity gets to enjoy everything else, but-

-It's bug time, I guess~!

-That was easy!

-Oh, never mind, here comes the family!

-"You didn't die for nothing, Nagabajim~!"

-That's a solid contingency plan, I'll give 'em that.

-They ate our friends!

-Ohhhhh

-"What?! Did Nagabajim really die for nothing!?"

-Ohhhhh, there he is! Jeremy!

-Literally OP, as far as I can see.

-Venomix Shooter!

-"Oh, what took you so long, IDIOT!?"

-G

-Guys Go?

-"Sweet dreams~? :)"

-Jeremy Brasieri.

-An ancient story teller.

-More Dock In!

-Holy shit!

-That motherfucker just iced our main villain!

-JEREMY

-THIS WAS ALL ABOUT YOU ALL ALONG

-BRUH

-HE GOT ME

-DUDE

-WHAT THE FUCK

-Okay!

-BRUH-DUDE

-WHAT

-HUH

-HOW

-WHAAAAAA

-NANDAYO!?

-EHHHHHHH!?

-Okay!

-Incredible first showing by King Jeremy, I guess!

[haleviyah]

may i ask what your religious beliefs are? sorry, tryna get my bearings. if you don’t want to answer it’s okay

Personally, I do not have any religious beliefs.

To provide some background, I was born and raised Roman Catholic (Latin American Branch), however I converted to Baptist Christianity (or Southern Baptist to some) in my tweens. So I am very familiar with communion, confirmation, baptism and the unnecessary feud between Protestants and Catholics. Yes, I know almost every Easter and Christmas film they feature each year on television. Yes, I can name the Saints and Angels off the bat. I know of the modern approaches of evangelism such as “Heaven is For Real”, The Kendrick Bros and Kirk “The Gabber” Cameron.

However, after learning of Jewish culture divorced from the church I just fell away and to say it was an ugly breakup would be an understatement.

I don’t view things as “if I do this then I’ll receive that” or “works make freedom” mentality. I don’t look to G-d for hand outs or moral brownie points, he’s more than that. If someone loves then they have a need to be loved, right? I simply honour the nature of Love (G-d’s personality) to express itself wether I like it or not. Heck, I’m not afraid to rebuke him if necessary.

I do also believe in Messiah (the unction of salvation) but I don’t see it as a cult of personality. To me it’s rather an essence of the Creator living in you, rather than a single man carrying a million people on his shoulders out of obligation/entitlement.

I will clarify I have not lost respect nor lost admiration for the Rebbe of Nazareth; we may butt heads on one thing or another, but there is nothing malicious in my heart towards him. So don’t assume that I or any Jew in existence hate him. Far from it! We all collectively agree to allow the man to rest his case and rest in peace knowing his faith in others to understand the Jewish mind and heart will come to pass.

Now, I’m not trying to advertise Judaism as something other than a culture. If you do plan on studying it you need to be willing to sacrifice your doctrines on the altar, be prepared for the tables to be flipped around in your face and everything being multiple-dimensions.

[greco-roman-jewess]

For 2 in her social contract video she talks about The Sexual Contract an old feminist book written by a transphobe and fails to realize that the transphobia is a consequence of the author’s philosophy not a contradiction of it. (Zarathustra’s serpent on YouTube has a great video about this called Breadtubes One eye Problem). I think she also has issues considering the context of the people whose work she talks about (unless it’s a pretty uncomplicated “he’s a white man so of course he thinks he’s the center of the universe” but that still flattens a lot of nuance) both when she’s relating things to herself and when she’s just talking about other people’s ideas she has a vague “life is harder if you’re not white” but doesn’t really interact with the more complicated “positive” for lack of a better word (like things from your cultural background not the external things from have your identity be marginalized) cultural influences that the writer might have. (Think for example how different Jewish perspectives on g-d, morality, and the basic purpose of religion are from Christians)

For 3 going through the whole video is like a novel length post by itself (Zarathustra’s Serpent also has a video on the Antisemitism video. I don’t agree with everything he says and he only focuses on the part where she lies to Israeli History for like ten straight minutes but I’d recommend that for the however long it takes me to make that big post)

As an overview

the part where she talks about Leftist antisemitism she basically goes “there are a few antisemitic Leftists like Karl Marx but there are also loads of Jewish Leftists… Like Karl Marx” and completely glosses over the fact that Marx basically wanted us to commit auto genocide well also not really addressing leftist antisemitism today or leftist antisemitism not from Marx

She can’t really seem to grasp the complexity of antisemitism and doesn’t consult very much Jewish philosophy on the subject

Her bit about Israel starts with “people need to criticize the Israeli government” and then without talking about the right way to do that moves onto “well we all agree Jewish people should have a safe place after the Holocaust but did you have to put it theeeere”

It’s simultaneously too broad and too specific it mostly focuses on the years 1920-1948 but doesn’t actually get that detailed about Nazi ideology or the cultural antisemitism of interwar Europe

Islamic antisemitism is not mentioned at all nor is Black Hebrew antisemitism or really Christian suppressionism

I have run out of time I’m Sorry Good Shabbos!

Someday I’ll write a deeply allegorical B-horror movie about a pernicious rot turning people into horrific monsters. And everyone one will laud it as great queer horror cinema completely ignoring my Judaism (and that the experiences portrayed work much better as representations of Jew-hatred) like they do with Kafka and X-men. Then when I make a clarification about my motivations they will call me an evil Zionist and Philosophy Tube will make feature length video on me death if the author and it will get 1k upvotes on the Breadtube subreddit and self righteous lefty assholes will host screenings of my movie “in support of Palestine” where they talk about “reclaiming it” and how I don’t get the point of my own movie.

And I will sit back and laugh at the irony of it all

[scrawnytreedemon]

Shit I’ve Been Winding Up For A Long Time Now But Am Very Aware Will Probably Hold No Relevance Should I Actually Go Into This More--

This is about Bhunivelze.

I.

You know, when I was chilling out, on my bed, that evening on that half term in early June, deciding to check up on ClementJ64′s FF retrospective because-- Hey! It’s been awhile, I wonder if he’s got around to doing the final bit of the FFXIII saga --You know, I was there, chilling, just for a laff. Just a laff.

The rest of that week was spent spiralling into a hyperfixation I absolutely did not anticipate in any way, shape, or form, because the way they introduced that character was “wwhdhfjjhHJDFJKHKJHW H A T??”

That retrospective and a good amount of wiki-scrounging is all I have as a basis for this. This is not a coherent character analysis-- Though I might tag it as that for ease of access. This is not, by any means, the thoughts of someone deeply familiar with FFXIII on the whole beyond plot synopses and overarching themes.

I don’t think I’m brave enough for that.

Reading the vast yet surface-deep lore on those wiki pages on my birthday while in a delirious state of mind was enough to make me somewhat nauseous.

Do you think I’m going to go through all of that in real time?

(Someday, someday.)

Ugh, I don’t know how to begin, but let us, I guess. I’d recommend you read this church-mime-demiurge’s FF Wiki page if you want the same level of base-knowledge I had, and maybe the aformentioned retrospective if you want the experience, because I don’t think I have the wherewithal to get into all of that from the bottom-up.

I am also, so, so fucking sorry for any remaining FFXIII fans in advance. There is like, a good chance I may be butchering the characterisation completely, so bear with me here.

With that... we begin?

Where do we even start with this guy?

How on earth to you begin to explain the absolute monolith you’ve constructed from crumbs of a Guy, some material no doubt spliced in from the Pale King, Sephiroth, y o u r  o w n  G o d  O C and other characters, and the mountains of religious trauma you carry around at all times that is probably the only reason you’ve been able to latch on as hard as you did?

I’m going to try.

What gets me, in summary, about Bhunivelze is how he’s a prime example of how love and concern can become deadly forces if in the wrong hands. His first acquainting with human emotion was by deceiving and possessing Hope, reverting his body to a teenage state, and planning to live among humanity through him. He sees human sorrow and suffering, and decides that, to End This(because it must be ended, you see) he’s going to destroy all the souls of the deceased that make up the Chaos that’s been eating this world for the past five-hundred years so they all forget and Are Happy. :).

Capital G God here hasn’t been present for the vast part of human history because he’s hidden himself away from Everything due to paranoia from killing his own mother and throwing her body into the Cosmic Basement, THEN creating the beings that would come to create humanity and OTHER beings because he didn’t have the keys to the cosmic basement. And also he believes death is a thing because she’d’ve somehow cursed all things to pass(including him) out of Spite.

Which explains why he’s so fucking averse to it and anything to do with it.

Bhunivelze, to put it lightly, is Shit at stepping into others’ shoes and Getting their experiences-- All the FalCie in FFXIII are, but him especially. It’s clear(again, in the f u c k i n g JP--) that he makes attempts to sympathise with them and does what he can to help, but it’s with such a loftiness and a complete inability to Understand why anyone would want grief, The Worst Fucking Experience In Existence, and even less why they’d be willing to Go Up Against Him And HisThe New Perfect World just for it-- And what would it matter, anyway, forgetting their loved ones. It’s not like you can grieve lost memories, right?

Right.

It reminds me of when at the end of the story of Job in the Bible, where, after putting this man through hell on earth, God rewards Job by giving him ten new children to make up for the ones that he lost. I. And that’s fucked! Nothing can replace the sheer uniqueness of each individual person you loved so dearly! But if you were a nigh-omnipotent deity high and mighty, with a cursory, almost mechanical knowledge on the functionings of the human psyche, that would seem adequete; enough.

Bhunivelze is doing that on a cosmic level.

I now want to get onto the romance: that being, his affections for Lightning. I don’t know how much I’m going to say, but it’ll probably be alot. It’s something that hits very close to home.

There is this... thing, within certain branches of Christianity, perhaps even in those of various Abrahamic faiths, where God’s love is posited to be the love-- The ultimate, most-fulfilling, all-encompassing love you could ever imagine --Because, well, he is love, so the story goes, and so often the best way to convey that is through the imagery of...

Marriage.

Giving up yourself so completely, to serve, to be the Bride; to be bound by him for all eternity; and for there to be no higher bliss than this.

This angle is pushed on young girls and women the most; from the mere parallels to the woman’s role in marriage, all the way down to downright-horrifying ultra-Evangelical purity pacts. With men, God is your dad, your best bud and confidant, your boss, your king, your this, your that, and the ‘marriage‘ as it were is relegated to a sort of half-thought; a metaphor.

For me, God was an attempt at all that, and my arranged groom.

(It was almost incestuous; was incestuous, that my own Divine Father would reach for my hand in marriage.)

Bhunivelze experiences Emotions™ for the first time through Hope, experiences Hope’s sheer overwhelming admiration for Lighting(whether there were any baby-crush feelings mixed in, I can’t say), and promptly falls into a nigh-romantic obsession with Lightning, deciding that she will be Etro(his all-but daughter)’s replacement, will be his Goddess of Death to-be-- He even calls her as such, before the final boss-battle--

...In the JP.

What happened in localisation, probably due to a number of factors, all the way back in early 2014, was that everything emotionally challenging about Bhunivelze was scraped off, like it was extra fat, and tossed aside, leaving us with the bland, clichéd shell of a foe-god we’ve seen time and time again. And I mean everything. I mean his very love for humanity; the fact his ploy was, in his eyes, to save them. Because if they’d left that all on, then it would raise the question of even if there was such a seemingly pure, all-knowing, loving being hell-bent on setting things “straight,“ would they truly be unquestionable? Would we have the right to fight for our humanity in the face of the Creator of the Universe?

To reject a love so personal?

That’s what gets me about FFXIII’s tackling of God, no matter how hackneyed and poorly-executed. It’s personal.

It’s from a feminine experience.

I know that terming is... vague, and problematic, but the way Christianity and much of the video game industry handle femininity itself is weird and problematic, so as it stands, I’ll have to simplify it. Apologies.

What sets FFXIII’s Let’s Kill God™ plot aside from most JRPG Let’s Kill God™ plots is that with our protagonist being a woman, and one who is very in touch with her femininity alongside her sheer strength; often, in these stories, God is reduced to Yet Another Foe, expected or unexpected, and you are tasked with taking him down unquestioningly for the Good of Mankind-- You will fight God, because you are right to, and you will go man-to-man-to-however-many-men you decide to bring along for the bloodbath.

And that just, doesn’t speak to me.

Even as an Extian.

Especially as an Extian. And an AFAB one with a deeply complicated experience with my gender, at that.

Leaving Christianity was painful. Questioning God was painful. Coming to terms with the fact that I had been mentally, emotionally, and spiritually traumatised under the guise of All-Encompassing Love was so, so fucking painful. I had been taught since I was five years old to devote myself to him, spent my life desperate to feel something, anything, to stay connected because I just, I never could Feel It on a deeper level, never could Give Up Myself, all I was, couldn’t Die A Spiritual Death And Be Reborn As His Eager Vessel, thus deeming myself to be worthless and a broken vessel for years and years on end... And for all that to have been... Nothing.

Lightning is hollowed out, the shards of her dead sister ripped from her in-stasis, leaving her emotionally numb for the majority of the game, Bhunivelze sweeps it under the rug, pretends he’ll perform a miracle and return Serah to life in exchange for her compliance, then sends her on her way to do his work, all the while knowing he’s going to pull said-rug from under her and elevate her such dizzying heights in the aftermath--

That he’ll deny her humanity.

Sand down all the rough edges that make her her, and polish her up afterwards, gild her as he is gilded, make her a Goddess.

And he’ll do it all because he loves her.

You can’t fight God like you can everything else. To fight It is the fight Existence Itself; FFXIII even conveys that by making Bhunivelze’s model part of the arena; it’s baked into the fabric of the game, no matter how minute.

While Lightning Returns is far from perfect in its execution of this concept, and that in itself makes me wince, not even taking into account the horribly botched excuse for a localisation Bhunivelze endured, it speaks to me more than anything else I’ve seen so far.

And it’s helped uncover some things within me. Helped me untangle them, just a little more.

So, yeah. I have alot of Thoughts on Bhunivelze, I want to share them, and I’m kinda really sad I have no one but my currently-absent friend Vee to share them with. I could get into alot more, like his very Fucked relationship with familial bonds, and how Lightning’s role as saviour so deeply parallels the overwhelming panic and never-ending guilt of Evangelical proselytisation, but I think I’ll leave those for another time.

In short, Bhunivelze is the epitome of Divine Love gone deeply wrong; on all fronts.

And if all of that isn’t enough to intrigue you, then, in Vee’s words, Lightning and Velze are literally canon endgame Sefikura lmaOOOOOOOOOOOOOO--

Fun fact, yes you can choose what is true and what isn't. That's how religious beliefs work. in orthodox Judaism women or people who are viewed as such can't be a Rabi, can't do an Aliyah in their bat mitzvahs, and they must seet in a different section in the synagogue. In reform they can be a Rabi, do an Aliyah and they synagogue doesn't have gender segregation. when I wanted to do an Aliyah I had to do it through a reform process, since I was an AFAB.

I'm sorry but I think the orthodox movement, and more specifically the way they interpret the scriptures, is also kinda not acurret. after all, the Torah never told man to wear kipot, or said there's need to be a gendered segregation at The place of prayer.

Judaism is a religion, but also a culture. Reform jews are not lesser than orthodox jews. culture change, customs change, and even mitzvot needs to change. I'm sure there were changes that orthodox did to the mitzvot that were no less bigger than the changes of the reformes

so yeah, it's kind of gatekeepy to say thet reform is lesser then orthodox. Is Protestant lesser than catholic because catholic is more "traditional"? No! they are different sections in the same religion who have slightly different practices. and thats ok. if protestant christians can have no pope or something and it won't make them lass Christian then the catholics, why the cant reform jews who don't do all of the mitzvot also be no less jewish then orthodox?

I personally feel that the orthodox movement, at least in Israel, is very restrictive and conservative musch more then the reform. if I would've want to get closer to Judaism I would probably do it through reform, not because it's easier but because for me, it will be safer. In the end, you choose your relationship to g-d, In whatever section of Judaism you want. it wouldn't make you less jewish.

How do you know orthodox is the truth(for you)? Reform is just easier for me and where I am but do you ever feel like shabbat observance with no electronics and tsnius was meant for the past and not modernity

This is a very complex question. I guess it's just because I believe that this is the right thing to do? @wenevergotusedtoegypt always says the difference between reform and orthodox is a question of whether mitzvos come from Hashem and are binding, vs them being optional and pick and choose (hope I got that right lol). Since I believe the former, of course it's a good fit. In addition, since I believe mitzvos are part of a legal agreement between us and Hashem, no I don't think they belong in the past. I get the whole "we don't do this in the modern age" thing, I really do, but there are some things that are still off limits in the modern age. We still don't go around murdering people, stealing is still bad, fraud is still bad, and so on. So really it's a question of, "I don't see the reason behind these specific mitzvos, so why keep them?" I guess if it's not part of a contract to you, then you won't keep them. But imagine your partner or friend asks you to open and close the window every night, if you wanted to show your care to this partner or friend you would do it, even if it seems ludicrous to you and you don't understand the reason. Added to that is that to me it's somewhat silly to demand to understand the mind of Hashem.

Hope that answers the question a bit!

(2/2) I’ve been an atheist for ages but I still fear Him. Do you think it would anger the heathen deities if I accidentally start talking to God when I’m in pain and apologise for being a female to him? I’m a trans man but i don’t think God believes that, does He want me to suffer for being a female? sorry for the rant, I don’t want to make the wrong decision and come crawling back to Him, like I always do

The answer to this is thus; The Christian god has exactly as much power over you as you give him.

Jewish people point out repeatedly that nowhere in their writings does it say that their G-D is the only god; it is simply that they were the people who agreed to live by his rules and teachings, which including holding no other god before him, which implies heavily that there are others. The view of God as the only is a newer thing.

And if that god is going to punish you like this for the simple act of not begging on your knees for forgiveness, if the only reason you seek to placate him is from fear...well, he does not deserve your attention. Not a bit of it. Fuck that.

Any other gods who take issue with me have to come through mine first, and that’s a tall task indeed.

Any god who wishes you to suffer is not worth a moment of your time. And you are not female; you are a man, born with bits that don’t match that. The Christian god, it seems, does make such mistakes, for all he’s claimed to be infallible.

Find gods who love and protect you. Find gods who know that you are not broken or wrong, but a person worthy of love and respect. Find gods who even shift gender presentation if they wish, and are male or female or neither at whim.

You deserve far better than what you have now.

G/t Drabble (Crash landed on a hostile planet trope but NOT via the a tiny vulnerable human in a planet of mean powerful alien bigs route)

tw: a bit of censored cursing. Uh. I’m not sure what else. Maybe broaching of sensitive tops such as sexuality and religion. But not really. Mostly it’s just rlly dumb word play/lame humor and a confused alien being confused (and kinda freaked/troubled due to the confusion? you’ll see if you read it i guess). there is some sad lorg boi times. idk. no romantic relationships. just a shaky friendship is forming between a crash-landed big-arse alien (a human! *gasp*  i woulda never guessed something as vile as that o: ) and one of the much smaller, very much not human locals. most want to kill the poor dude who got stuck on this planet of hostile lil guys who think he’s a monster and immediately decide they much off him asap. so like having this one ally is kinda important to him. But it’s hard. because. lots reasons rlly. culture differences. the language tech can only do so much. the size diff creates definite issues because trust is hard in general. and trusting a big being that could easily cause havoc on your planet mostly just cuz he /seems/ nice is not a very good foundation... there is much to learn between the two before they can be truly good frens. so uh good luck to them lol *raises glass* I mean. I don’t think I’ll ever write these two again. but I’m sure they’ll end up good friends. probably.

Anyway without further adieu, here have a disappointment (read: attempt to be creative but i’m kinda lazy tbh and still kinda bitter I can’t draw for more than like 10 minutes before I start spacing out :/ )

"We are called humans or the scientific name is homo sapiens" spoke the large alien, Lyle.

"Homo sapiens? That is rather long, is it not? Why is a "scientific name" even a thing? Why would that be necessary? Scientific name versus what kinda name? Emotional name? Why are these science names two words? Seems annoying. What is wrong with just calling yourselves simply homos? Or something else just as nice and concise. Straight to the point if you will. Probably. I... Uh.. I obviously don't know what exactly is the purpose of a scientific name as i already implied... Sooo..." The much shorter – and much scalier- native being (called Torrynts) awkwardly looked off the side to stare at the plain, blank, siding of their dilapidated, isolated house as if it were the most interesting thing in the entire vicinity. Which it wasn’t of course. There was a f***ing alien 15 times their size only a few them-sized lengths way…

 Lyle gave his new comrade – and only friend on this gawdforsaken planet that mostly wants him dead- th pondering, and possibly ironically, rather colourfully scaled Torrynt by the name of Kyvlar a bemused look, bordering on coy.

"Huh. 'Straight' to the point you say?" He paused with a small snort. "Well, my not-so-statuesque friend, do I got news for you~"

Kyvlar suddenly blanched, giving a Lyle a look that was like a knife to the heart while blurting out. "Wait, wait, wait! Hold up! We? There are more than one of you? Here? On this planet? Were you just a distraction the whole time. Oh... Oh no.... Have we really been victim a secret homo invasion this whole time! I-"

 Their panicked monologue was interrupted by a most horrendous noise. Like a slowly dying tornado with the hiccups or something.

"STOP. Stop I-I can't. I can't. This is too much much!" Spoke Lyle with his hand covering the bottom half of his  and his eyes scrunched shut.

 'Welp,' thought the Torrynt, 'This is the end. This is when I die. I should have known better than to immediately put my trust in such an enormous obviously dangerous specimen. Ho-'

 Kyvlar’s dramatic internal speech was interrupted when the alien surprised them by uncovering the his face, revealing a huge grin. ‘They weren't upset? Huh?’ The Torrynt blinked owlishly at the human in confusion.

 "Sh*t, bite-size (Kyvlar noticeably paled at the impromptu nickname not 100% the foreign joking tone, well it would have been noticeable to someone their size at least), I know you don't mean to, context-wise, but you reminded me of my great aunt Karen when my Uncle Todd and Uncle Copper decide to have their friends over along with relatives for a gatherin'."

Plastering on a faux distraught look and blatantly mocking tone, he  continue with exaggerated hand gestures. "Oh no, it's the...the...," he paused with snort, "... the homo invasion... No, no, no... Not here... not in this... this good, Christian neighborhood. Aren't just two of them enough? Oh woe is me!" The alien dropped the mocking tone and smirked towards the smaller being. "Heh. Good ol' great aunt Karen could never remember Uncle Todd was Jewish and so was the majority of that neighborhood.... It’s where my Uncle Todd was raised actually…"

 The said smaller being just stared blankly at the homo-no-human they supposed as just “homo” meant something else, they weren’t sure what else, beyond just something else.

 "Uhhm. Wh-what? U-Uhm, so what exactly is “homo” then? And what’s Christian? And Jewish too. What’s that? Are... Are those other types of -uh- intelligent, sentient creatures on your planet? Y-you know, b-beside hom-er-h-humans? Or are these subtypes of humans? What kinda are you? What is a great aunt? or Uncle? Does the great indicate a larger size? Oh gawd, a-aren't you humans b-big enough regularly? Oh... W-wait. O-or are you a great- uhm- great aunt, was it? E-er, g-great something? Ohhh. Zyntall (Torrynt swear). I'm sooo confused r-right now... " The timid tiny being, sighed in frustration before their eyes snapped open wide in a panic, and they did an immediate one-eighty with their behavior, and it was off all their previously trust, as wavering as it was, vanished in an instant, squeaking out a quick "sorry. oh, Z-zyntall... I'm so-so-sooo sorry. I-I hope I d-didn't offend y-you or anyth-thing... p-please, oh please, don't hurt me" while gazing everywhere except towards the much larger alien, hoping desperately the 'bite-size' nickname was just a bad joke...

 Clearly they not only didn't get what so hilarious about the whole thing but also thought he was a monster prone to violence – still. Lyle sighed, all the mirth that was previously in his expression draining out of him leaving him with an uncomfortable grimace on their face. How disappointing... They really wish there was another human here to share in the jesting. But alas, that was not meant to be. At least as far as they knew there was no "homo invasion" in the making. Lyle wasn’t naïve. He knew humans were easy to slip into a gray moral state, at best. The role of villains at worst. And many of his kind would likely take advantage of a planet full of tiny, vulnerable people. Lyle couldn’t help but inwardly cringe at the thought, getting nervous about something that wasn’t an issue. At least now. Currently, human-wise, it was just him on this distant planet. And as far as he knew, no one - well, no other human at least- had any clue where they were. It probably just seemed he simply disappeared. Never to be seen again most likely. Trapped on this random alien planet in scenario that is akin to some sort of a personal hell of sorts.

'Wow. Hello, major depressive episode that’s making me overly dramatic. I haven't seen you since I was - what - eighteen?' thought Lyle regretfully. Calling this planet a personal hell was probably a bit over the top. But still, he couldn’t even seem to keep the trust of his single native ally. It only adds to his feelings of lonely isolation. And he feared his lonely angst will only get worse and worse. But only time will tell.

Giving a small sigh, he mentally prepped himself to try and get back his small friend’s trust. At least he was able to laugh for a wee bit earlier. It had been so long since he had done such. It was nice. Hopefully next time it will not lead to a backtracking in his attempted friendly ships with an open local, or even worse, a hostile local. The little laser guns that native being had stung like a b*tch. It reminded him when he got bit a couple times by some fire ants during a vacation as a child.

-----------

So yeah these were rando improvised characters made on the spot.

But Lyle is a guy (he/him. He’d be chill with they/them too)

And Kyvlar is… a Torrynt. So like they/them I guess. Torrynts don’t have genders. Like at all. I guess they hermaphroditic (intersex if talking by human terms but not really as they are capable of reproduction and they aren’t human so… I dunno… Not even sure if hermaphrodite is a useful term. As idk if hermaphroditic animals, in nature, are capable of reproduction… I don’t think so? But I’m not sure tbh…). There is no variants like there are with human “sex”. And male/female concepts are 200+% foreign to these wee reptile-like aliens (albeit warm-blooded minded, so perhaps more draconian than reptilian idk. Also aliens being described as reptilian gives me hives due to a conspiracy theory that is like super bigoted actually n’ stuff. Very yikes. Don’t want to talk it about it rlly…). Their reaction would def be “wtf. That’s the weirdest sh*t ever” to such a thought as male n female binary dynamics & whatnot. No exceptions. They’d be like why a lot of you guys limiting yourself because of whether or not you are a potential offspring vessel or not. I don’t understand.

So Yeah. Uh. Anyways.

Their conversation about this prolly (or close to this):

Lyle: Hi. I’m Lyle. Just some random dude form Earth I guess.

Kyvlar: a random dude what?

Lyle: uh. I’m a dude. I guess I meant that I’m a boy though dudes don’t really have to be boys I think. But not to derail too much… Yeah. I’m a man/guy/boy/brosef, whatever you wanna call the male gender. Please not by brosef actually, heh. Anyway. Yep. A boy. That is what I am. Uh. How about you. I can just tell… you ….you have uhm two legs. Oh damn. Wait. That sounded so stupid. I wouldn’t assume your gender or anything. I just… You don’t look exactly human so..uh. UGH. Nevermind. I don’t even know where I was going with that... Heh. ANYWAY, so yeah what’s your gender is what I’m trying to say. Sorry I’m awkward as f***. I’m not used to socializing much. Been doing deep space sh** on my own for a few years now and.. uh.. yeahhhh….

Kyvlar: *stares blankly*

Lyle: Uh. Yeah. So. A Gender? Do you, uhm, have one? Or…????

Kyvlar: Uh. I think so? I mean I’m mostly a day-by-day I’ll figure it out then type but I, I really want be able to fix my home up. I want to learn to cook. Kinda suck at it now. Uhm. I guess… Uh. I should probably help you get on good terms with my people so they stop trying to kill you. You seem nice n’ stuff… so yeah. There’s that. I could use a little more purpose in my life. Not to-

Lyle: wait. Huh? What are you talking about? Are you talking about an agenda?

Kyvlar: Yes????

Lyle: *snorts* I didn’t say an agenda. I said a gender. As in A. Gen. Durr. Like are male or female or maybe something off the typical binary track??

Kyvlar: Uh. Er. Huh??? I, I’m so confused right now…

Lyle: Hooo boy. I’m so not prepared for this discussion at all.

-----------

One of these days I’m gonna have a character that’s silver-tongue and smooth af and not some bumbling awkward doofus (*cough* like I am *cough*).

This is awesome. I hope it is a help and an encouragement to you.

Do The Next Thing” by Elisabeth Elliot

When I went back to my jungle station after the death of my first husband, Jim Elliot, I was faced with many confusions and uncertainties. I had a good many new roles, besides that of being a single parent and a widow. I was alone on a jungle station that Jim and I had manned together. I had to learn to do all kinds of things, which I was not trained or prepared in any way to do. It was a great help to me simply to do the next thing.

Have you had the experience of feeling as if you’ve got far too many burdens to bear, far too many people to take care of, far too many things on your list to do? You just can’t possibly do it, and you get in a panic and you just want to sit down and collapse in a pile and feel sorry for yourself.

Well, I’ve felt that way a good many times in my life, and I go back over and over again to an old Saxon legend, which I’m told is carved in an old English parson somewhere by the sea. I don’t know where this is. But this is a poem which was written about that legend. The legend is “Do the next thing.” And it’s spelled in what I suppose is Saxon spelling. “D-O-E” for “do,” “the,” and then next, “N-E-X-T.” “Thing”-“T-H-Y-N-G-E.”

The poem says, “Do it immediately, do it with prayer, do it reliantly, casting all care. Do it with reverence, tracing His hand who placed it before thee with earnest command. Stayed on omnipotence, safe ‘neath His wing, leave all resultings, do the next thing.” That is a wonderfully saving truth. Just do the next thing.

So I went back to my station, took my ten-month-old baby, tried to take each duty quietly as the will of God for the moment. One of the very first duties that faced me was what in the world I was going to do about the church. We had 50 newly baptized believers, Christians, who a year before had not been Christians. Jim Elliot had been teaching them daily and preaching on Sundays. Jim Elliot was not there anymore. There was no other male missionary.

Now I happen to be a very firm believer in men taking the leadership in church. I believe that God has clearly defined the positions of authority in both the home and the church as belonging to men. So whether you agree with me on that or not, let me just say that I get my ideas from the Scriptures and that’s where I had to start when I got back to my little jungle station. I was not going to run that church. But I was literally the only person around who had the Scriptures. There was nobody else that could teach those believers. So what was I to do?

One of the last things that Jim had said to me when I said to him before he left, “What will I do if you don’t come back?” was “You must teach the believers.” So I took two of the young men that Jim had picked out as potential leaders in the church. I explained to them that it was not my job to be the head of the church. It was their job to take responsibility. I said, “I’m here to help you.”

So on Saturday afternoon, each week after that time, I would call one or the other of these men to my house. We would sit down together, translate a few simple verses from Spanish and Greek and English and whatever else I could draw on into Quichua. Then these men would get up and preach the sermon, which I had helped them make an outline for. I would draw out of them their own understanding of the Scriptures and try to get them to give me some illustrations from their jungle experience.

They would get up and preach-not a very good sermon. I could have done a better job. But I felt that it was not my job to take over the church simply because I was competent to do it. It was my job to encourage these men so that they would become competent.

Then there was the question of a diesel motor. What did I know about diesel generators? We had one for electricity, which we used sometimes in the evenings for a couple of hours. So I had to figure out how to run the diesel motor. I had to figure out how to keep the airstrip clean. I had to pay about 40 Indians swinging machetes to do that, which made me their foreman. I’d never been anybody’s foreman before.

I was teaching a women’s literacy class. We had a boy’s school taught by an Ecuadorian teacher that I had to sort of supervise and encourage and pay and do various things that I was not used to doing. I had the medical work. I had the translation of the Book of Luke, which Jim and I had finished only in rough draft when he was killed. I was going to carry on with that, because, as I said, there were no Scriptures in Quichua. If the church was to grow, they had to have spiritual food. So I went ahead with the translation of Luke.

The grass in the jungle grows unbelievably fast, so I always having to hire people to cut the grass, to clean out the pineapple bed, to cut the branches away from the trail between my house and the airstrip. And I tried to decide what to do about a hydroelectric system that Jim had just begun to put in. I didn’t know whether I should try to finish that or forget it.

You can imagine how tempted I was to just plunk myself down and say, “There is no way I can do this.” I wanted to sink into despair and helplessness. Then I remembered that old Saxon legend, “Do the next thing.”

I remembered a verse that God had given to me before I went to Ecuador in Isaiah 50:7: “The Lord God will help me; therefore, shall I not be confounded. Therefore, have I set my face like a flint and I know that I shall not be ashamed.”

What is the next thing for you to do? Small duties, perhaps? Jobs that nobody will notice as long as you do them? A dirty job that you would get out of if you could have your own preferences? Are you asked to take some great responsibility, which you really don’t feel qualified to do? You don’t have to do the whole thing right this minute, do you? I can tell you one thing that you do have to do right this minute. It’s the one thing that is required of all of us every minute of every day. Trust in the living God.

Now what is the next thing? Well, perhaps it’s to get yourself organized. Maybe you need to clean off your desk, if you have a desk job that needs to be done. Maybe you need to clean out your kitchen drawers, if you’re going to do your kitchen work more efficiently. Maybe you need to organize the children’s clothes.

I know what an enormous job that is for Valerie, my daughter. All of a sudden, the children are coming out saying, “I can’t wear this. This is too short or this is too long or this doesn’t fit me anymore.” What do you do with those things? If you’re going to save them for the next child, you’ve got to put them somewhere where you can find them. So you just do that one thing. Somehow or other, the peace of God descends upon us when we take things calmly, peacefully and humbly as the next thing that God has assigned us to do.

About three years ago, I think it was, my daughter and her husband were going away for a weekend and taking with them the nursing baby. The baby was just a few weeks or months old. Val and Walt decided to go off for a weekend. They asked me if I could stay with the other children. I was delighted. I live on the other side of the continent from my children and grandchildren, and I was delighted for the opportunity.

So I stayed with them. In the first day, I don’t remember ever being so busy in my life. I mean, it was “Granny this” and “Granny that” and “Granny, will you read us a story?” and “Granny, can we have some more juice?” and “Granny, would you pull my pants up?” “Granny, would you pull my pants down?” “Granny, can we have some juice?” “Granny, can we go outside?” “Granny, what time is supper?” Until I really thought I would go mad.

Well, my dear sweet daughter had the good sense to call me that evening. She said, “Well, Mama, how are you doing?” I said, “Wonderfully, Val.” And then I said, “But I’m not sure I can make it through the next three days.” Then I assured her that her children were wonderful children. They’re not disobedient. They’re not unruly. Everything was going along really very well, when you think of the way some households are run. But I said, “I keep thinking, ‘Valerie’s got a baby to nurse. That takes about six hours a day. How does she do it?’ So tell me, Val, how do you do it?”

She laughed and she said, “Well, Mama, I’ll tell you how. I do what you told me years ago to do. Do the next thing. Don’t sit down and think of all the things you have to do. That will kill you. It’s overwhelming. It’s daunting if you think of all the things that are involved in a task. Just pick up the next thing.”

I find this even in the Scriptures. Tucked in the back of the Book of Mark, following the story of the Crucifixion, we read this lovely little story. Mark 15:42: “By this time, evening had come. And as it was preparation day (that is, the day before the Sabbath), Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the Council, a man who looked forward to the kingdom of God, bravely went into Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate was surprised to hear that He was already dead, so he sent for the centurion and asked him whether it was long since He died. When he heard the centurion’s report, he gave Joseph leave to take the dead body. So Joseph bought a linen sheet, took Him down from the cross, wrapped Him in the sheet and laid Him in a tomb cut out of the rock and rolled a stone against the entrance.”

Can’t you imagine the disciples and Mary and Martha and the other bewildered women, sitting in absolute dejection and perplexity when their Lord and Master and King had just died? They couldn’t think of one single thing to do. Here came this godly man, who looked forward to the kingdom of God, who bravely went in and asked for the body of Jesus. He could think of one thing to do. He did the next thing. That must have been a tremendous cheer and encouragement to those discouraged people.”

did i mention that he’d be a fuck boi, i didn’t need to mention it because we all knew but just a fucking reminder 

lambos, maseratis, teslas just for driving around town and windows down, STIR FRY OR MOTOR SPORTS BY MIGOS BLASTING ON THE SPEAKERS 

his bitch ass is dripping in versace, heavy ass chains wth his half buttoned shirts, just all the jewlery honestly, d & g shit and fucking 

but also this bitch ass walking around shirtless with stupid ass soccer warm ups 

i can see him being into working out don´t ask me why but he would be and just picturing kind of built like lean mon, sweating coming in from a workout dying 

one thing that doesn’t change is the fact that he is the motherfucking life of the party so the party life is still alive and well

except he’s bumping bad bunny at roxanne 

now listen here because this is the soul insperation for this post HE IS SAFAERA BY BAD BUNNY if you haven’t listened to it go right now bbs 

he lives it, breaths it 

at the club whenever the song comes on he’s running to get a microphone because he is going to be screaming “MAMI QUE TU QUIERES, AQUI LLEGO TU TIBURON QUIERO PERREARTE Y FUMARME UN BLUNT” AND THEN CUE HIM DANCING WITH LIKE THREE GIRLS

YOU CANNOT TELL ME HE ISN’T THE KING OF GRINDING AND DANCING ON GIRLS BECAUSE HE IS

but also him with you up aganst a wall, ‘dancing’ but you might as well be fucking, him kissing your neck and being like “yo quiero que tu me lo esconda agarralo como una bonga” 

or even in casual conversation when he’s fucking flirting “ oh mami tu novio no te mame el culo. no mames, vamos pa la casa que mami yo te lambo todo” which brings me to my next point

ramon would eat ass, not sorry about it 

he is the kinkiest shit out of all of them with a major daddy kink because the power trip that it would take him on is better than any high he’s ever experienced 

but him just living for tasting you, also loves it when you sit on his face and pull his hair because reasons

him leaving marks that’s for goddamn sure leaving besitos all over your thighs because he’s down there already 

drug of choice: anything he can get his hands on, has a taste for ectasy though 

would be my reggaeton and latin trap king but also could lowkey see him being the person to go to every possible music festival you can’t tell me his ass wouldn’t be a cochella 

him and his jet setter lifestyle, fucking influencer ass shit you feel me

his gifts to you would be exotic get aways to wherever the fuck you want because yeah

benjamin

okay first let´s get one thing straight, benjamin is the best smelling member of the fucking arellano felix organization 

i assure you this man would smell sexy as hell i just want to hug him and burry my face in him 

secondly, designer suites i just benjamin in designer suites 

but his favorite is walking around without his jacket and rolling up the sleeves of his dress shirt holy shit 

also him having the nicest watches, finest leather shoes, he is just the epitome of fashion someone make me stop

why do i get sugar daddy vibes from modern day benjmain 

has a lowkey daddy kink; BUT SOFT CARING DADDY HE”S A TRUE MAN 

why am i out here imagining benjamin having a praise kink; god like just hearing you moan for him would be *chef kisses*. he wants to hear you, wants to hear how he’s making you fall apart  (needs reassurance that he’d never otherwise ask for)

my after care king he’d be so gentle im 

would be into having all the new tech stuff 

wouldn’t be into the reggaeton , he’d be stuck on his oldies he’s still out here playing luis miguel albums from the 90′s 

but also him teaching you to dance or just dancing with you; luis miguel is must and always talks about how this is real dancing not like the bullshit his brother does

probably the hipster butthole that has a record player don’t argue with me about it just accept it 

also gives me christian nodal vibes because he’s the romantic one

regardless of his distaste for it, his bad bunny song is otra noche en miami

that song is a mood for him but especially the opening part 

Me diferencio de la muchedumbre A mi estilo puede que no te acostumbre' No sé si irme en el Mercedes o en el Maserati Modelos extranjeras que me dicen "Papi"  that is just all HIM ???? SCREAMING ???

Me voy de viaje y a las dos hora' me extraña O mejor dicho, al dinero que me acompaña also fucking benjamin as fuck being introspective 

and because of this hed be really into finding a girl that’s not into him for the money despite how much of an impossible goal that is he’s still going to be out here doing it  so not quite the fuck boi that ramon is

drug of choice: still diet soda or something pls this bby isn’t getting high off anything 

also into traveling but traveling for a cultural experience; i don’t know i just have this vibe that he would want to explore all of mexico and see all the things it has to offer

weekend getaways; wine tours are just something that jump out at me like a benjamin thing sigh 

my dudes i could do so many more song like breakdowns for ramon be thankful i only subjected yall to one 

@itati​

DESTIEL AND COCKLES RANT

THIS IS A RANT ON ALL THINGS DESTIEL AND COCKLES

PS. I do not know how to make gifs and or use photos yet so feel free to add yours

I have said this before and I will say it again. I have been in this fandom for a month and I ship Destiel and Cockles anyone who has a problem with this then move along and/or if you are an anti and read this, keep your hateful comments to yourself.

That being said, I have read about almost all ships in the fandom but mostly Destiel, Cockles, Wincest, and J2. Through all the reading and discovery, I still have to say I ship Cockles and Destiel more than ever before. However, I have seen some things from the antis that did not sit well with me.

This is going to be a long post so brace yourself and it is mostly about the hate the antis (anti-cockles, anti-wives , and anti-Destiel Shippers spread). Also this is a rant so don’t mind me,

ON DESTIEL

The hate on Destiel is massive. Mostly this is from Bronlies who hate Cas like he is the anti-Christ, and the Wincest shippers.

Now I am not trying to rain on anyone’s parade but come on. Cas is Dean’s best friend. Whether you ship them romantically or not, it is canon that Cas Dean’s best friend. We have seen time and again how miserable Dean is every time Cas dies. Dea has also expressly stated that Cas is his best friend and even said they are better together; all three of them including Sam. He has called him his family. So why the hate? Chuck himself has said that he has rebuilt Cas more times than anyone.

Now, people who believe that it is better to ship Sam and Dean who are literally blood brother but it is not okay to ship Dean and Cas what is wrong with you? Is it okay for someone to fuck their brother and/or be in love with them? I mean come on.

Before I was even a shipper, I always looked forward to episodes that Cas was in. He brought a different dynamic to the show in a positive way. Yes, I love the brothers but Cas is just deifferent and all the sass he brings makes the show, at least to me 10 times better. Sue me.

People saying that JA would never be comfortable with Destine because he is a Christian. I mean, he can call Chuck a dick, call angels dicks, make deals with demons and all other unchristian things but kissing another man is where he draws the line? If he was such a Christian, why does he let another man straddle him on stage or want to kill God?

Someone once said that JA supports wincest. I saw the video and I get what he said is that whatever floats your boat or something like that. So why is it so hard for him when it comes to Destiel? I don’t understand this man. He is a paradox.

 ON COCKLES

I have seen antis, mostly those who ship J2 throw shade at MC saying that JA doesn’t like him, he just tolerates him and everything they do is for PR. I have not once seen anyone say that JP doesn’t like MC. You know why? I believe they view MC as a threat to their J2 ship.

So I stumbledupon this antis blog who had a whole analysis (much like am doing here) on why JA cannot be a couple. Here are some that I remember from the top of my head:

1.     That JA said that he thinks Matt Bomer is attractive.

2.     That JA moved to Austin to be live next to JP.

3.     That JA and MC have nothing in common being that JA plays golf and sings etc and that MC does woodwork, writes poetry and bicycle touring.

4.     That JA is with JP hence no. 2.

5.     That JA does not curse on stage but MC does.

6.     That MC does not take acting seriously but JA does.

Now now now. This beats logic. All the above things I beg to differ with not because I am cockles shipper but it is just common sense.

Being with someone or rather being in love with someone does not mean any of the above things have to be true. Hear me out.

1.     On finding Matt Bomer attractive. I have many celebrity crushes, there are also ordinary people that I find attractive. But then again, I have a boyfriend, who I am in love with; I have been with for six years. But he looks nothing like my celebrity crushes or the ordinary people I find attractive. Does that mean I am not in love with him? No. It means I have eyes and I can appreciate beauty and have a few fantasies but I chose to be with him because I love him. He also has other people he finds attractive that look nothing like me, does that mean he does not love me? I mean come on.

 Oh the most hilarious thing is that the anti said you cannot compare Matt to MC since Matt is way attractive. I mean come on; they may not look alike but they both have dark hair, blue eyes. Seriously people! And MC is so handsome and adorable at the same time. Sometimes I feel like he looks better than JA and JP. Sue me.

 2.     On JA moving to Austin. Lol. This means that he went to live next to his best friend. I mean come on. I have moved to live next to my best friend (bff) who is married. Does that mean I am in love with her? Hell no! But I feel safer knowing that she is there for me.

Also people need to understand, MC and JA could be involved romantically or not (pick your poison) but you don’t need to be next to your lover to love them or be in a relationship with them. Lond distance relationships anyone? They have families and kids and other priorities. Just because you are in a relationship with someone does not necessarily mean you live together or evn in the same area. Distance makes the heart grow fonder and also they are where they are now because of other priorities in their lives. So, living together or in the same town doesn’t make you more or less in love.

3.     On the issue of common interests. This made me laugh so hard. I mean comeon, People who are together do not need to share any interests. The diversity of their interests is probably what attracted them to each other. Also how can you say a poet and a singer have nothing in common? They are artists. MC can write poems that JA can sing. Oh also remember that video MC’s friend DM posted on Twitter where they did the whole bicycle touring in Germany? Uh huh? JA seemed to be interested in that a lot. So..

4.     I could say a lot about JA being with Jp. This J2 being married and their wives being beards is the weirdest thing I have ever seen. Seriously, J2 tinhats have gone ahead to hate of D’s posts and call her names. Telling her to stop pretending that she is JA. It is laughable and not in a nice way, really. Can they just stop? Before I became a cockles shipper I watched J2 videos where they interact be it cons, red carpet moments or even gag reels. It is just different. All I see are two bros; one that is really playful like a little puppy and the other one trying to be the big brother. As for JA and MC, it is different, there are things that JA is comfortable when Mc does that he is not comfortable when JP does them. Neck kisses for a start.

Also most of the J2 tinhats evidence about J2 being real is rarely backed up by visual evidence and if there is any, it is usually from years ago. I am not hating on antis, just stating facts.

5.     I mean, cursing on stage really? I curse all the time my bf doesn’t. Does that mean he doesn’t like me or love me? Hell to the Fucking No! Suck it!

6.     On Mc not taking acting seriously. Yeah I can guess why he doesn’t. It is not his only priority unlike JA who has chosen it as a career path. From what I have seen, MC’s priorities include making the world a better place through charities, politics, and oh, he is also a writer. Oh so forgive him if he is not obsessed with acting. Besides JA says that he likes how he acts as Cas because it is not like anything he has seen from other guest stars that have come on the show. I mean not being serious about something does not mean that you are not good at it. Would he have lasted 11 seasons if he was not good at what he does?

There was also hate that JA is only around MC for PR and he actually hates him. There were some photos and gifs so the apparent hate. So, if he cannot stand him, why is there so much evidence of JA going to MC to give some love, Neck kisses, intimate IG posts, face caresses, ass smacks, calling him his baby dadfy, heart eyes, even when they don’t know that they are being filmed?

Also why is it during the Vegascon 2020 all JA did was bring up MC unnecessarily even when no one, absolutely nobody asked him to. Come on! stop the bs and admit that Cockles is the realest ship in the history of ships!!

ON THE WIVES

I swear bitches be crazy. How can you just hat someone for literally nothing? This is mostly from J2 tinhats at other J2 stans who do not ship J2 together romantically. I mean…comeon. You do not need to be a stan for the wives just because they are married to J2 but please stop with the madness.

I recently saw someone comment on various JA posts on IG asking why he is lying to the fans that he is with D when he is with JP. So many rude things have been said about the wives especially D that it breaks my heart.

Seiously? People have gone ahead even to say that she is with JA’s friend SC and that the twins are not JA’s they are SC’s since D and SC are ‘always’ hanging out together. My question is, so D is not supposed to hang out with their friends? And for Chuck’s sake, everyone can see that the twins especially the boy (idk their names, sorry) looks like JA’s twin. I mean come on people.

I believe that they hate D because she says how much she loves MC and that Cas is her favorite character and that they are also bitter that JA chose her and not them. Just my opinion, but what do I know. On JP and G. I don’t know much about them mostly because I do not follow either of them of IG or elsewhere but I have seen hate on G as well.

The antis have gone ahead to say that when JA said that he was hanging out with SC writing songs, that he was lying and that nothing was happening he was just trying to dampen the rumours. I wonder how they felt when the album by JA and Sc came out last year. Jokes on you haters. Bitches be crazy fr.

Oh, the antis also say that the same way JA looks at his wife is the same way he looks at MC. With contempt. I mean talk about hanging yourself with your own rope. What they are saying is, JA feels about his wife the same way he feels abouts MC. Aww! That is true love bitches.

If JA actually cannot stand MC, shouldn’t he have gotten him fired from the show or at least make sure he gets less screen time and that they don’t have any panels together being that JA is the star of the show and all. I mean Mark left and he was a major character to the plot so...

Also why would JA give and buy MC clothes if he hates him? Give him a ring, a bracelet? Huh? Explain it to me.

Oh, some anti also said that before every Cockles panel at JIBCON JA cries and has to be forced on stage by Daniella and JP has to give him a hug and that’s why he drinks a lot of apple juice. LOL. WTF? What do you say to such people. I cannot even..My question is, are we talking about the same Cockles panels that I have seen? Then JA deserves all the Oscars and Tony Awards for his impeccable acting skills when he is around MC. Must really hate him. *wink*

MY TWO CENTS ON COCKLES

I know JA gives off mixed actions about MC. But I think it is to confuse people like us, shippers.  He does’t want to too out there so he tries so hard to be mean with his words. But his actions tell a different story. I mean, who gets a boner when their friend straddles them on stage and then goes ahead to post that chest to chest selfie on IG. That is the gayest thing I have ever seen.

Sharing clothes? I mean friends do share clothes but if it is like a daily thing. More than 20 articles of clothing exchanged between each other on various occasions even when they are apart does not make sense to me. And to make matters worse, JA does not deny it. One even had a tag on it. Lol. We are not children, we can see what is going on.

The 2014 DallasCon – Rob’s Birthday Party. WTF? Was all that between JA and MC? Why did he he swallow and react like that when he saw MC’s bare abdomen? Who does that? Also the looks when MC was leaving the stage. Come on.

Also what was up with the” I love you from the bottom of my heart” at the MTV top 10 in 2010.

The wife is my rock but I am glad to have some pebbles in my life.

Truth is, JA could post a video of him balls deep in MC and the antis could say that somehow MC manipulated JA to post it for PR.

People need to leave MC alone, he ie a human being who has made mistakes, JA and JP have too and I don’t see the antis hating on them. The double Standard s FOH.

I could write about this forever but the truth is JA loves MC, and D and V know that they love each other. All their friends know including JP and other castmates. I believe they know it is more than just friends and the antis can’t stand it because they also know it to be true.

JA LOVES MC. JP LOVES MC. J2M LOVE EACH OTHER. J2 LOVE THEIR WIVES. STOP THE HATE!!

I am not done but I am done for now. I could be here forever writing about this if I do not stop.

Dallin H. Oaks, Sat morning Oct 2020

Sigh lets get this over with...

Y'all know how much I dislike him

Time of anger and hatred

Peaceful protest -> destructive behavior

Unkind references in church meetings (my dude we havent had church meetings in months)

Political atmosphere is unruly

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, pray for them that use you and persecute you

Why does this sound kinda antisemitic?

Loving our enemies and adversaries is not easy, and requires self discipline greater than we are capable of.

Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find

How do we keep commandments when we are subject to laws of man

Live peacefully under civil authority

Don't contend with anger, for that is of the Devil

No one can make us angry, it is our choice

Anger is division and enmity

BIPOC members, sweetie I'm so sorry you have to hear this. This white man doesnt get to tell you to forgive and forget the people who have historically oppressed you

When we try to understand and relate to people of a different culture, we should try to get to know them

It is a time honored adage that love begetts love

World in which we live would benefit if men and women exercised pur love of christ. It has no plas for bigotry and hatred

"Keep the laws of our countries" "let no man break the laws of the land because they match the laws of G-d" (keep saying that when we're under increasingly fascist rule)

We don't agree with all that is done with law but we obey it and peacefully participate in elections

Dont violently resist the outcome

1st amendment guarantees right of people to peacefully assemble and protest against the government and injustices

Yes there has been racism

"Racism thrives on hatred, oppression, and silence"

We must so better as members to root out racism (the only thing I've agreed with you saying all day)

No right to undermine the government's police powers (sigh)

All of us should understand the limits of our rights and importance of our duties

No grievance fit object addressed by mob law

"Anarchy undermines rather than protects rights"

"This country should be better at eliminating racism"

This nations history of racism is not a happy one

Founding generations came from many nations and ethnicities

Need for many refinements (voting rights for women and abolition of slavery for example)

Constitutional patriotism

United by and through constitution regardless of ideological disagreements

We have no eternal allies or perpetual enemies

Follow eternal and perpetual interests

Teachings of Savior (inspired constitution of US and laws of many countries)

And that's on colonialism/imperialism baby. Not necessarily christianity being right.

It is possible through the help of our Lord Jesus Christ

We are loved and will be helped by the Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

He says some good things and then ruins it by being like "you have no right to be angry about injustices and the police are right in enforcing the law just dont fight it"

[internetremix]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to say that I really love DMP, but as a Christian it gets a little awkward calling Kristen murder god lol. Is it uncomfortable to ask if any of the IR crew is religious at all? I get it if you don't reply. Anyway, love all of you!

Kristen: I am sorry anon that my heathen ways have made things awkward for you, haha. I guess I would describe myself as questioning atm, leaning toward Unitarian.

Queen: I'm Roman Catholic

Jojo: I believe in Karma and good vibes uwu

Cami: confirmed Roman Catholic, but as I’ve grown up I find I’m more non-denominational. It’s not strange as long as it’s understood that in no way affects what you believe. It’s a character in a story

Carl: I'm a non-denominational Christian. I just believe in the Bible, keeping stuff in context, don't be a dillweed to your fellow man, loving your neighbor, don't judge lest you be judged in the same capacity, etc etc. When it concerns DMP, it's good to keep in mind that it's a fictional setting. It is a very dark setting that covers some very real topics mind you, but still just a collaborative story that all the cast has been writing together.

Kristen: Yeah shockingly the murder god and the black stars are not actually real, they're just characters in a story. It'd suck real bad if they were real

Carl: Big oof

Alex: non-demominational christian who believes god has better things to do than worry about the name of a fictional character

Carl: Same boat, more or less. I'd get into the semantics about what taking the Lord's name in vain actually is in the proper biblical context, but I'm on mobile- shot

Juno: it'd totally suck real bad if they were real. mg would get her soul quota really quickly if she were real.

Xander: Hardcore agnostic. But if the Vikings were right I need to make sure I die in battle so I can go to Valhalla.

Juno: The revolution will give plenty of chances for that. of course the ideal is winning the revolution.

Bro: Nondenominational Christian who was actually in the same boat for a while, so I get why you feel like you do, anon. DMP is always weird to talk about because both of my parents are pastors.

I always get along with it by remembering that the story as a whole isn't inherently blasphemous, and that the themes are in line with things that I do believe in. Ideas of self growth, redemption and the complex ways humans interact are not out of line with God to me, so it makes it a lot easier. My parents have also come to understand something along their own lines as well, though they do wish I showed the same fervor for going to church as I did showing up to DMP sessions on Sunday. It's about balance and having fun in a fictional world, and I've even explored some aspects of my faith through it, so there's always that.

Dont feel bad for enjoying it, but also dont feel bad for any conflicting feelings you have. It means you care, and I'm glad you're exploring them by asking others how they feel.

Big love and God Bless

Adric: I am a bundle of weird religious. Former LDS that still follows some of the teachings, but I am far more spiritual than religious now a days. I believe there is something out there, but I also believe inore magical and "other worldly" things being out there especially thanks to one of my alters.

I've never personally had a hard time calling her Murder God, but for every day things, I do have a problem saying "god" as an expletive, hence why if o keed that swear word you will notice I always say "Gods" instead. It's a minor thing but just how I am.

I can agree with the others though, it can be a hard thing to say based on your religious views to call her "murder god", but also remember, it is a fictional story and is 100% as such, no one is trying to claim she is real and am actual God, so at least to my former religious ways, that does not go against the teachings I grew up on.

Uprising: something to note is that in history/religious studies you refer to the god you believe in with a capital g and one you are writing about with a lowercase g bc ur writing about another religion. tho this one is is a work of a fictional character and with the title preceding of murder it stands to reason that she fits with a universe with gods of other things (which is teue- time and space n shit)

I myself am lowkey jewish in a similar way Alex is. sometimes i feel odd about not writing g-d and I have to pause and consider if I'm writing about specifically The G-d from the holy texts of the Torah, Qur'an, and Bible

when it comes down to it tho it's kinda like zeus god of thunder or stuff like that

Ann: Heavy Christian, Nazarene branch. DMP is pure fiction and everyone involved knows this. It's part of telling a story. No one involved believe that DMP is real, so no harm, no fowl.

Phill: Pastafarian, hardcore going 8+ years now

Jojo: That's the flying spaghetti monster right?

Phill: Hell yeah.

Split: twas raised pagan, hold myself a good few pagan beliefs and practices. not so much a religion per se but big shrug. mostly stuff like the world is a big ol pond of big ol fish and no one really knows the full extent of it, just do what you can to either befriend if your so inclined, or simply just not piss off the bigger fish and you'll be fine. so like, agnostic/polytheistic, dont worship any pantheon tho

Phill: So basically what you’re saying is… You’re a heretic.

Split: I would like the record to show i roasted phill privately to save yall from my heresy

Atwas: Darn

Phill: defeated groans D-deus vu-..lt
