#the chosen sons of thunder

[nobrain-onlysteven]

It’s been awhile since I’ve made a Thunder Thursday post

[nobrain-onlysteven]

There’s not a thought between those men

When I say “my last four braincells” this is what I mean

[getting-used-to-different]

Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't believe scripture ever tells us which Son of Zebedee was older. somehow we all looked at John and we decided yea that man is giving youngest child energy

[fairidvst]

Heyyyy can I request like a teen!reader x the disciples, just some platonic headcanons y’know? Thanxx <3

sorry this took so long, i knew what i wanted the hcs to be but i didnt really know how to actually write it so 😭 i kinda made this like a found family type of trope ( not really but ) if u want smth different lmk :) ( implied reader doesnt have parents / good relationship with them but very brief cos i didnt really know how to start this off oops )

the disciples + teen reader head cannons ·˚ ༘₊·꒰➳: ̗̀➛

you were listening to one of jesus' preachings when he called you to follow him

of course you went with no hesitation

he was so warm and welcoming and you hadnt felt that in a while

when you first started following the group , it took a while for you to remember their names

names just weren't your thing

but especially the brothers

you called andrew simon and simon andrew

once, you got john's name wrong for the third time in a day

"james do you know if- james? are you listening to me?"

he straight up ignored you

he thinks you are doing it on purpose

and after you actually do learn their names, you keep doing it to him because it's funny

john ranting to literally anybody who is within earshot "do you hear her?! she is doing it on purpose! my name is john! J-O-H-N. john! i know she knows it too. it's only my name she messes up!"

z intrigues you the most

you hear him early in the morning because he gets up to train

for what you have no idea but little james says it's just a habit

he teaches you how to throw a few punches when he catches you watching him

when you guys go back to capernaum you stay with simon and eden for a few days

and if you think eden is like a mom

wait until you meet salome

she adores you

john is lowkey so offended by this

but in an older brother way yk

anyways

after meeting you she somehow convinces simon to let you stay with them

she teachers you how to cook and everything

you're her new child whether u like it or not

then we have nathaniel who becomes your partner in crime

you two are so chaotic together it actually becomes a problem

"philip, watch them"

"we don't need a babysitter!"

philip stays with you anyways

it's a good thing too because somehow you both managed to start a fire and didnt know how to put it out ???

[rambleonwithrosie]

Definitely put it in the tags and comments who your other picks would have been if Tumblr polls allowed multiple selections

[nobrain-onlysteven]

Bring tears to my eyes to see how much this completely canon holiday has grown :,)

y’all know what day it is today 😁

the sons of thunder featuring Papa Thunder and Nathanael

the sons of Thunder featuring the Son of God Himself 🥰

[stuff-the-chosen-didnt-say]

Mary: Can you keep a secret?

Big James: Sure we can.

Mary: "We"?

Big James: Yeah, me and John. No one else will know.

Mary: No, I want you to know, but not John.

Big James: If you don't want John to know why are you telling me?

[imnotkosmic]

My favorite scenes in "The Chosen"

Season one, episode four: the miracle of the fish. I love this scene, it's the first time we see the fishermen and Jesus together, there's just something nostalgic about it for some reason lol

Season one, episode five: the wedding! I love the scenes where the disciples are just getting to know each other better.

Season two, episode one: Sons of Thunder. That is all.

Season two, episode two: When Jesus called Nathaniel to follow Him. It kinda felt like Nathaniel was getting a second chance. (at what? Life I suppose lol)

Season three, episode two: *That* scene with Little James. As someone with MANY health problems, this really hit me hard. I can relate with James, "why not me? why all the others?" is a question I've always asked, but watching this made me feel seen, like He actually cares.. So uh yeah- aNyWaY! Moving on..

Season three, episode five; the pool party! I love seeing the disciples and Jesus have fun.

Spoilers for season four ahead!

Season four, episode two: Si- I MEAN PETER- forgiving Matthew. They even hugged. We've been waiting three seasons for this lol

Season four, episode four: That ending with Gaius! So wholesome! Also can we talk about when he said "shalom" and he was explaining to his kids what it meant, and he told them his FRIENDS say it. That means he counts the disciples and Jesus as friends.

[ghostsmp3]

s4 james and john are truly unhinged. they see their buddy get promoted and given a cool little new name and go well that's just because he answered the question first. we totally knew that too. it was a test actually

[multifandomsofficial]

[John gets mad and starts yelling]

Big James: I didn’t know so much rage could fit in such a small creature.

[nobrain-onlysteven]

Hello Thunder Thursday enjoyers! It’s been awhile

[steve-needs-a-hug]

and now for a new entry in the 'weirdly abstract masculine candles' hall of fame, a theme a certain pair of disciples would appreciate

[nobrain-onlysteven]

It’s the sillies. It’s their day

Oldest vs youngest

Hiya! Can you please make a headcanon about how Thaddeus, Philip, Big James, Andrew, Simon Z, and John would react to you being pregnant and then going into labor, and everything that goes with that?

Okay listen….. 👀 I did research for this. Men being present during childbirth back then wasn’t really a thing, they’d be removed from the room(not that they really had a problem with that) and absolutely not allowed to touch anything. If they did they’d be considered ritually unclean according to Jewish law.

(Joseph(the ultimate stepdad) was a real one when Mary went into labor because it was just the two of them and it was an emergency. The article I found with all of this information disagrees, but they literally stayed with the animals and laid the baby in a manger……so you believe what you want I guess.)

So normally, midwife would do the delivery, all the women folk were present if they could be to help out. We’re talking birthing chairs, as many clean cloths as possible, warm water, clean olive oil. I’ll post the link to where I got the info if someone wants it.

Also, new life is always a happy thing, so every one of these men would be happy and excited. However, I’m going to focus on the other accompanying emotions. So don’t get it twisted, they’re all happy, even if I don’t mention it.😉

I also ask you to graciously ignore inconsistencies that I have for sure made. It was such a different time back then, I don’t know which terms they had and which they didn’t.

That being said, 😤 let’s do this.

Andrew:

Anxiety city. He would literally fret over every little thing.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Do you need me to go get water? I’ll do it.”

“Are you sure you’re feeling okay?”

“You shouldn’t be on your feet so much.”

And that’s just the entirety of your pregnancy, you going into labor??? Dial that up x1000

Dude would be silently panicking, but asking you every single question he can think of.

Shaking hands, jittery and nervous and worried for you.

He’d get you to the midwife as quick as possible.

Most men are just content to stay out of the birthing part,,,, Andrew would have a heart attack.

He’d pace the entire time. Simon Peter would try to get his mind off of it(seeing as Eden would absolutely be involved with you, he’d be around anyways.)

As soon as the door opens, he’s by your side.

Holding baby would wreck him. He’d cry. He’d just be sobbing and kissing the crown of the head.

You both would cry. Him crying would cause you to cry and you’d both be a mess(obviously you’d also be exhausted, so that has a hand in it as well.) Hormones man, they do a number on ya.

Simon Peter would have to pull him away physically in order for them to do anything. He would never want to leave baby even weeks after.

Thaddeus:

He is so sweet all the time. That’s just the general vibe he gives off.

Foot rub? Fo sho. More water? You got it.

The last few days of your pregnancy, he would be right there with you. You’d both be able to tell when it was close. And he’d be stuck to your side.

When you do actually go into labor, he’d be ecstatic. So excited.

Very supportive, getting you safely to the midwives, getting you who or whatever is needed.

Then of course he’d be pushed from the room, while the women worked.

He would seem content on the outside, but he’d be a bit worried on the inside. Not pacing, but he’d for sure be bobbing his leg.

They tell him that he can see you and the baby and Nathaniel kicks him to knock him out of whatever trance he’s in.

So gentle when holding baby, he’d freeze. He’d be afraid of moving.

As soon as he could, he’d hand baby back. Not because he doesn’t want to hold baby, he’s just afraid of making a mistake.

Definitely doesn’t want to hurt baby.

You help him though, teaching him how to support the head and how not to be so stiff.

Over all, he’d be so cautious and loving.

Big James:

Hot take: James is a teddy bear. Super softy, but incredibly protective.

I feel like he’d talk to your belly when it’s just the two of you. Softy to the max.

I feel like he’d find out you were in labor from someone else tho and then like sprint to be there as soon as he could.

He wouldn’t pace, but you know that stance he takes when “protecting” Jesus? Arms crossed, feet wide, chin tilted. He’d stand like that right outside the door. He wouldn’t move, regardless of how long labor takes.

After everything is ready for the father to come see baby:

He’s so tall that when he holds baby for the first time, it’s almost funny how small baby is compared to him.

Idk how his singing voice is, but I feel like he’d try to sing baby to sleep. You’d help too. Whisper singing baby to sleep.

He’d tell baby stories. 100% he just would. He’d talk to them as much as possible.

Simon Z:

Calm and collected. A silent protector.

While training to be a zealot, he didn’t have plans to be married. Let alone raise a child.

He’d be so afraid that this wonderful thing, that is you and the family you two are starting, could be taken away at any time.

His prayer life would be healthy, I’ll tell you that much.

Beyond that: caring for you during your pregnancy and when it gets close to the end; it would be effortless for him.

You wouldn’t have to ask for anything. He’d always be watching you when he was able, so in tune to anything you might need.

He’d know when you were sore.

When you were thirsty.

(You know in cloudy with a chance of meat balls: Earl with his chest hair that tells him when stuff is happening?) yeah. I’m not saying it’s his chest hair, but yknow. 🤷🏻‍♀️

He’d know right when you go into labor without even being in the room.

Because of how he was trained, whenever labor starts, he’d be quick to get you to the midwife and then he’d keep watch.

I’m not talking about standing at the door. Way more than that.

He’d case the building. On the roof. He’d change sides.

He would know the face of every person in there with you AND who passes by.

After you’ve been cleaned and can stay awake long enough, they come to get Simon.

He is basically a sponge while the midwives are talking to him about how to hold baby and what to do while he’s holding baby.

He’s listening, but is always looking at baby.

You thought the way he protected Jesus and you were overkill,,,, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

it’s so much worse.

“Who’s holding baby?”

“They’ve had enough time holding baby.”

“Please sit down while you’re holding baby.”

“Do not touch baby until your hands are clean.”

“Baby is sleeping, be quiet.”

Any of the guys makes so much as a rustle, they are forcibly removed from the room by either the ear or the upper arm, whichever one is the easier grab at that moment.

Philip:

That episode in season 3 when they’re going 2 by 2 and he’s sitting with the kiddos. 🙃🙂🫠 y’all I melted.

He wants kids. Dude wants kids.

Ecstatic at the idea of you being pregnant and getting to raise little ones with you.

He’d do his own form of research, he’d talk to people he trusts who have kids and ask about it.

He’d ask for advice, but would weigh every bit of advice he gets.

Ultimately trusting Adonai for everything beyond his control.

Very calm when you go into labor, knows exactly what to do and where to bring you for the midwife. Will step out begrudgingly.

He doesn’t want to make you uncomfortable, or angry. Also the law….

The first time he holds that baby, he doesn’t want to let go.

Obviously he has to at some point, but his heart changes when he holds your little one.

He loved kids before, but it’s so much more than that now.

He would do anything for that little one and you can tell that the baby already has him wrapped around that tiny finger.

John:

Is so attentive. Would def talk Salome’s ear off about how to be there for you and she would absolutely drill that into him.

Be there. Be present until you can’t be and then be present afterwards.

He gets this excited puppy expression when you tell him you think you’re in labor. You know the one. Pure unbridled glee.

Anxious excited, not so much anxious worried.

Of course he’s concerned. Especially when the midwife kicks him out.

But more excited.

Pacing, bobbing on the balls of his feet while he waits outside.

Listen, Christ is first in all of their lives, but the second he holds that baby for the first time, his world stops.

He’s so infatuated with that little bundle of cloth and softness that he literally can’t hear anyone for a good thirty seconds.

There’s ample teasing from Big James when he meets the little one and sees that John is holding the baby instead of you.

He also won’t let anyone else hold the baby for a good chunk of time.

Slight overkill, but he’s a first time father can you blame him?

One more because I just have to:

Being a part of the ministry while being pregnant and going into labor. This one is more story based and less generic.

Everyone would be at your house because of course they would be when they’re in town, you’d love being a home-base for them.

You loved listening to Jesus talk. He could ramble about agriculture in the background and you’d find comfort in it.

This particular day when the group showed up, Jesus gave you a softer greeting compared to the others who buzzed their way in and made themselves at home.

It took you off guard for a half second before you returned it.

“How are you feeling, y/n?” He would ask. “Ready to be an eema?”

“I feel heavy. And if it means I won’t be pregnant anymore, absolutely.” You would chuckle.

“Oh yes, it’s close isn’t it?” Mary M. smiled warmly at you. “Is there anything I can do for you?” You returned the smile.

“Oh I don’t think so, everything is ready, my own eema is here to help as well. Thank you though, you’re very kind.”

Everyone would sit down and you’d make sure everyone has food and drink. When you finally sit down, someone asks for something and you go to stand up, but Mary M. Tells you to stay where you are and she gets it instead.

In the midst of Jesus talking, you have a particularly uncomfortable cramp. No, that’s an understatement, it hurts, a lot.

You grunt and everyone turns their heads to you.

“Everything all right?” Jesus asks, but when you look up he’s grinning.

“Y/n, I think your water just broke.” Mary says setting down whatever she was doing.

You look down and sure enough, it looks like you’ve wet yourself.

“Well, that’s embarrassing.” You give a half laugh before another contraction makes you double over. Then it’s go time.

Everyone is moving at once to make sure you get to where you need to be.

Mary and Ramah go with you and your eema and just before they get you out the door, a warm hand plants gently on the crown of your head. What you didn’t see was your husband hurriedly speaking to his Rabbi as chaos had begun.

He had asked for a blessing.

Labor was long and by the end, you were completely exhausted.

You slept the rest of the day.

But the next day, once you got to go home with baby, everyone was waiting. It was truly a sight to see.

The whole group is so excited to have another member of the ministry.

The most interesting part about it is the fact that when Jesus holds baby, baby instantly calms.

No matter what was wrong, as soon as he’s cradling the little one, their cries cease. Baby just lays there staring up at the messiah.

(Oh to be a tiny child looking up at your lord and savior)(I cry)

@multifandomsofficial I know this ask was you, lol I hope you enjoyed it.

forgive me for going AWOL for a long time but I’m back in time for Thunder Thursday 😇💅🏾

so, here’s a screenshot I got for The Chosen screenshot game 🤭. Thunder is also my favourite episode, especially the one that majorly focuses on the sons of Thunder
