what are your thoughts on your religion stealing every single one of its holidays from pagans? xo
That in order to relieve themselves of guilt and discomfort, white people create and believe narratives that deprive their European ancestors of any autonomy whatsoever. Casting their ancestors as victims of the church rather than active participants.
#three things to keep in mind:#1 a lot of christianization was peaceful in europe. my german and irish ancestors willingly converted.#european christianization was nothing like the colonization of the americas (as supported by the church)#2 most supposedly ''pagan'' traditions reach back maybe reach back to the middle ages. long after christianization happened#so most ''pagan'' traditions are really just folk beliefs created and maintained by christians#(there really wasn't a huge distinguishment between ''pagan'' and ''christian'' most of the time)#3 most of these narratives about the church stealing from paganism comes from puritans and victorians#who both uhhh literally loved to make up history

This is so fucking funny to me. I don't think this is what Khalid had in mind at all.
#bg3 meta#jaheira#khalid#the power of love transcends death and centuries and allows you to steal from churches without the gods noticing

thinking priest!geto thoughts again :(((
you’re both a little rotten . it’s a stench that sticks to your skin and you can smell it off each other. there’s a certain kind of bond that only blooms between people who know the each other’s smile is fake, you know? and there’s a kind of trauma that lingers and rots and sticks to your bones and you can hide it with layers of clothing or heavy robes but people who have felt it themselves will always spot the signs . do you see what i’m saying. there’s something special between you when he says he loves his god and you know that he’s lying. there’s something special when you say you couldn’t care less if god thinks you’re sinful and he knows that you’re lying . because you can both smell it off each other. the sickening rot .
#explodes into pieces#yeah i’ve been…. feeling really normal recently. as you can see#priest!geto’s reader is so fun#to me#they’re so unabashed and crude and classy and they call him out on his bullshit with a smile#and he just smiles back#you’re both so tired and cynical but you appreciate each other’s company#i like to think . that he moves in with you. far away#you steal a priest from his church and take him home with you#and he’s happy . he finds more faith in the windows of your bedroom than he ever did in the stained glass of his church#i don’t know if i’ll ever write everything out fully because i do think . this would have to be suggestive#something about scrubbing off the shame that comes with catholic guilt yk ??#you sleep with him and it’s not sinful.#you sleep with him and you wake up in his arms the morning after and that’s the first time you see him fully at peace#okay nevermind i’m gonna cry#THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO MEEE :((((#need priest!geto to heal sooo fucking badly hang in there king#ari noises ✩#geto x reader#priest!geto

"Ha ha . . . Unless?"
*sighs heavily* When the stray thoughts start to hit...
I'm not typically a multishipper . . . but sometimes. . . sometimes it *happens*
#rvb#red vs blue#grimmons#chex#Simmurch#apparently#fml#rvb grif#rvb simmons#rvb church#rvb tex#grimmons and chex are married obvi but now the nerds are dating ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#have a funny idea of like a picnic in which grif steals simmons egg roll and being too distracted trying to get it back from him#church steals his other one#but then tex is also stealing church's food so#maybe i should have forseen this happening#but I Did Not and now I#you'd think i'd be more of a Churboose fan but ... Its kinda cute and I GET it#but I've only really read one fic where it worked very well and sweet and I'd even forgotten it was a relationship tag on there?#Ugh I can't believe this posting beat out my 'Red Church' comic post#Very definition of being Possessed by the Fixation - the NEED to produce THAT CERTAIN IDEA RIGHT NOW

My favourite beaste is nosewyse. Something about the little carvings on his legs just really touches me. He's a taped together wreck who can barely walk but like. Someone loves him enough to still carve his name into him and paint all those little designs.... he's loved!! He's loved! Even if he's no good at being a mech and he's old and wobbly he's still cared for.... he's not perfect but he's loved.
there are people who value him a lot buuut 😅 his knight fucking hates him unfortunately
#nosewyse feels like an insulting step down from their True Destined Beast and they only begrudgingly tolerate him#for the sake of using him to steal fuel from the church for the smugglers that employ them

Honestly, Deanna and Prism going to Vasselheim together for research/theft purposes is inspired.

#I know this isn't what the scripture meant at all#The thought of biblical angels descending from heaven stealing lamps from churches that were doing wrong/being haterz just seems hilarious#Imagine walking in to see that#You can't do anything about it either aside from be better and maybe you'll get your lamps back (probably not)#chaoscore#biblically accurate angel#bible memes#revelations

I finally understand why atheists who were once catholics write about bones so much
I didn't realize that christian worship was built on cannibalism
maybe I should've expected that when the textbook tried to explain to me the 'eating the flesh of jesus' thing
#my thoughts#tw religion#tw cannibalism#honestly the eating of flesh part isn't talked about enough. catholics are in no position to distrust other religions. they are the most su#if I was in amongus and someone started talking abt eating flesh I mean come on#all religions seem to have some level of hierarchical practice but if we're not talking about the holy wars and shit#(which christianity definitely benefits from)#daily practice and pilgrimage-wise? very surprising curveball from catholicism just saying#sorry it's just so weird to study history and learn that people ate pieces of corpses bc they believed it was holy?#and catholic churches display human remains in plain sight? (is this why they dug up every other culture's bones?)#(bc stealing saintly corpses was fine if you had a good reason to do it so why not foreign tombs)#wow this explains so much about how museums display human remains?#like that's fucked up to me but I guess it's not to christian catholicism#the more you know#history

got reminded of the "saying Arabs conquered and colonized North Africa is Zionist because obviously no one saying that coulx possibly draw a distinction between North African Arabs and Palestinian Arabs, and even drawing a distinction between Arabs and Imazighen is colonizer shit" school of thought
#cipher talk#I have seem Zionists co-opt the language of MENA Indigenous groups but MF that doesn't mean we're WRONG#It means they're stealing our talking points to appeal to more left leaning people#How is it you can recognize that they've co-opted the language of social justice and that that doesn't mean social justice is bad#Until the people YOU dispossess are mentioned and suddenly you're doing step 8 of the 8 steps of white settler colonial denial#Just like the Israelis do!#And yeah like. Some people don't draw the distinction. That's a product of intergenerational trauma and how our communities#Get manipulated by the US and shit. I've also met Arabs not from North Africa that refuse to draw a distinction#And see a discussion of how Arabs have hurt Indigenous Africans as an attack on them when it doesn't make sense to do so#I've also met a lot of people who DO clearly draw a distinction because the material conditions of Palestinians are that of Indigenity#Are your material conditions as a postcolonial North African with an Arab name and a mosque and skin that isn't black that of Indigenity?#Do you not have people with your face in the government (regardless of how shifty it is)? Did someone take your land or your churches land?#Do you struggle with employment? Is your tongue not the most common one? Are your cultural clothes looked at with distaste?#Are your girls targeted for kidnapping and rape to force them to not be of your culture? Are your women called whores who WANT rape?#Are you harassed by cops? Does the government try to take your kids because they have bullshit adoption laws?#Do your kids get arrested at 12 or 13 and almost sent a thousand miles away from home before pressure stays the order?#Is your language called feudal? Do people tell you they hope it dies soon? Is your name a barrier in your life?#Did they drown your fucking village?#Because all of these are things Copts and Nubians can say yes to#Before I even start on the shit done in the Maghreb or the fuckery about how Egypt defines 'Amazigh territory' (which is very complicated)

i just noticed that for some reason i don't remember joonas' middle name and i was trying to recall it by going through the all of blind channel's full names in my head
i don't know what happened when i got to olli because my brain just autofilled it so i said in my head: "olli elias kau- wait he's surname isn't kaunisvesi- i mean olli elias mattson"
i'm way too deep in this ollixallu shit
actually im just sleep deprived and my brain isn't working properly but i'm making it abou ollixallu shit again
no but the way Olli Elias Mattson sounds so cute?? 😭😭😂😂😭😂😭😂😂
I hope they'll take Matsson as their shared surname when they get married 🥰
#how many times have i accidentally typed joonas hokka or joel porko or whatever 😂#i wonder if by now your brain has succesfully retreived joonas' middle name though (henrik)#btw if y'all had to change your surname to any of the BC boys surnames which one would you choose?#just purely based off how the surnames sound ya know#instead of ~who would you like to marry uwu#for me the -la and -nen ending surnames are a no-no (too boring so sorry olli and niko)#porko is too porko i don't trust it lol it's suspicious i mean what does it even mean#kaunisvesi is a little too unique#lalli sounds like i'm about to kill a church dude on a frozen lake and steal his stuff#or a biker mice from mars villain maybe#hokka on the other hand? damn cool and my surname now i sounds kind of similar (same two first letters) 😌#this has been another episode in random tag ramblings by theflyingfeeling#answered asks#mosvu#ollixallu

i am the only person on earth who understands repo! the genetic opera
#ollie considers#this is a joke or at least me being facetious#(one of my favourite words)#but also the reason the story doesn't make sense is that it's just a random assortment of operatic tropes#from genres which don't necessarily make sense together#even though it's Fun#i.e. 'and it's my job to steal and rob graves' is incoherent bc it's in the vein of Bad Translations that try to preserve original meaning#nathan keeps shilo locked up because he's rigoletto and she's gilda#rotti meets shilo in a church because -- again -- she's gilda and he's (kind of) the duke
