"second coming of christ" + it's saint young men jesus

[do-you-ship-it-polls]

Do you ship it?

reason: they have extremely good chemistry, like unironically, and there's quite a lot of romantic potential between them. They live together and hang out and are quite close!

learned something fun and a little disturbing on the wikipedia app while i was scouring the asian grocery for ramen ingredience and had to make a comic out of it...

the judas' ear mushroom grows on the kind of tree where judas is said to have hanged himself, and technically it's not the same species (only same genus) as the kikurage you see in ramen buuuut it's hard to make small talk around jesus' weird friend who got out of hell on good behavior so imo you can forgive buddha for blurting out the first thing that comes to mind

[hellany]

I made some saint young men memes!

(Lmao i cant stop laughing at buddha and rahula's father son dynamic)

Jesus: *sneaks in through the window of the apartment*

Mary, turning in a chair flicking on the light: Wanna tell me why you're coming back so late?

Jesus: I was with Buddha...?

Buddha, also turning in a chair: Try again.

let's talk about the fish/water/christ symbolism in the game of kings. with spoilers

fish (as ιχθυς) is an acronym for christ, and it's the first food jesus eats after being resurrected, right? it symbolizes rebirth, life, and christ himself. i personally think fish are slippery and cold-blooded too, but that's neither here nor there.

now look at how the game of kings starts: "lymond is back". we immediately know this book is about returning, it's about rebirth. in fact, the first thing we see is the man himself submerged in a body of water and coming out on the other side, after a baptism of sorts, as the character he will play for most of the book: lymond the outlaw, lymond the traitor.

the first words out of his mouth are "i am a narwhal": he identifies himself as a fish right away, and not just any fish but the unicorn fish; the unicorn of course being scotland's national animal. in perspective, he tells us everything we need to know about him: his status as a christ figure, his destiny to be reborn, his complicated relationship with his country.

the next time he's in a body of water, it's the second chapter and he's dying from a head injury in a bog. he's washed clean, this time, too: from his own identity. he's free to inhabit another character from the lymond constellation. it's also pretty funny that he's found by sym while he's going fishing ("you’ve hooked a twenty-pounder this time, my lad"), and he's nursed back to health by someone named Christian. not subtle.

lymond seems to be pretty into this whole fish and rebirth thing, does he not? he wouldn't lie to us. he wouldn't pretend to embrace life while actively seeking death, right? anyway, no relation at all, when the baby queen mary tries feeding him a fish he pretends to eat it and secretly throws it away. the fish is described as struggling and barely alive, which again i am sure is a coincidence.

then some stuff happens, and the next time lymond is offered fish he doesn't have it in him to keep pretending. he doesn't want the damn fish. newsflash, asshole (richard): he really, really wants to die. this is my favorite scene for many reasons, and one of them is the perfect juxtaposition of its literal and symbolic meanings: richard says he wants to see lymond hanged, but what he does is to drag him away from the tomb-like dovecote and towards running water, makes him eat the damn fish again and again until the miracle is complete. he's holding on to his brother with both hands and teeth before he even realizes he's doing it.

when it comes to an end the fish is off the hook, christ is off the cross and for once he's not sacrificed for the sins of others, and we close on him in his mother's arms in a beautiful literary pietà.

there's so much stuff i purposefully didn't mention and probably didn't notice, this is just a tiny example of the gorgeous figurative and thematic cohesion in this novel. i love it. thank you dorothy dunnett.

Bro, I've been thinking

What if SYM fans make something (Drawings, fanfics, etc) about how it would be if Jesus and Buddha travel to their countries?
