Savage Takedown of Markan Priority!

COMMENTARY:

The original euangelion was Pilate's intelligence report to Tiberius cited by Tertullian in Book V. Apology, which included the designation"Christian" the Roman soldiers gave to the Jesus Followers generally described enmasse in Mark 3:7 -8, who called themselves followers of Jesus of Nazareth, the Messiah (Christ).  

Euangelion is a Roman signals priority for "Special Delivery" to the Emperor regarding Tidings of Joy, in thsi case the vision of the Talking Cross in the Gospel of Peter.

Pilate's lost euangelion is a fusion of the Roman testimonhy of Mark 15:1 - 16:8 and the Gospel of Peter.  Cornelius assissted Pilate in the composition of this original euangelion to Tiberious and he, Cornelius, conveyed it to Peter when they exchanege notes about Jesus in Acts 10.

At this meeting in Acts 10, Peter conveyed his confession in Acts 10:34 - 43, which becomes the narrative arc of the Gospel of Mark.

Thereafter, both the oral tradition of the euangelion and the written tradition were composed of both the Roman testimony of the Resurrection vision of the 16 sodkers and centurion at the Tomb and Peter's confesson in Acts 10. This is the euangelion Peter employs to vet Paul in Acts 15:7. Thereafter, Paul uses the term, euangelion, 19 times  throughout his epistles to anchor his own testimony.  

A more compelling interpolation of Mark 1:1 :"The Beginning ot the euangelion of Jesus the Christ..." is "Everything we now know about Jesus before He was remanded to Pilate and crucified..."  Cornelius was the curator of Quelle, which was the intelligence portfolion of the 10th Legion that was collected regarding the populist movement of John the Batptist before Jesus took command at His baptism. Josephus drawa upon this archive for his portrait of John the Baptist for the Jewish Wars.

Bart Ehrma, James Tabor and John Dominick Crossan employ dialectical Marxism of the Post Modern Historical Deconstruction to render their polemic that posits Mark as being derivative of Pauline Theology,

The Jesus Seminar presents an existentially unanchored analysis of all scripture and is an example of why the Gospels can be depended upon to shed a great deal of light on the commentaries.

Mori and Yosano's Relationship ft. Elise - Analysis

Analysis

Characters: Mori Ougai; Yosano Akiko; Elise

Warnings: Pedophilia (?); Dark themes; BSD Manga Spoilers (mainly chapters 65 & 66)

Notes: @jessbeinme15 Thanks for sending a request! I apologize for the long wait. You have made an interesting point and I never knew how interesting and dark the thing between Mori and Yosano is. So I was actually really excited to do this, and yes Elise does seem somewhat older during The Great War than what she is presently but more on that later in the analysis. Alright, let's do this!

______________________________________________

So we learn in Chapter 65 - 66 that Mori and Yosano had a past, and might I say a very dark, traumatizing one (for Yosano). The chapter starts off with Yosano flinging a chair towards Mori's direction in a fit of rage at Mori's 'plan' as he says that The Agency will split up and live out the rest of their days in hiding. Yosano believes he has no intention of saving them and thus says that his plan of "transferring someone from The Detective Agency" is practically a load of crap.

I partially think that Mori's only aim was to get Yosano back and work for him in the mafia, considering it'd be a real game changer (I'll explain how later on).

Mori's (unusual) Possessiveness Over Yosano and Similarities of This With Elise

14 Years ago prior to present events, it was near the end of The Great War. We meet 11-year-old Yosano and 26-year-old Mori, Yosano being a Military Hospital Scholarship Student and Mori an Assisstant Military Physician - First Class. It's clear already that Yosano is a feisty one and Mori...well he's Mori. There is panel straight after they are introduced where everyone (soldiers) cheer for her after she has healed them with her ability, 'Thou shalt not die'. And then there's this:

So it seems quite obvious that he is possessive of Yosano, calling her "My Yosano-kun" with a dark, threatening aura, which she disapproves of and argues she isn't something of his and threatens to bite his ear off. After Yosano's "brattyness" he becomes silent for a moment before:

In this panel some of us may see parallels between the way he treats and reacts to Elise now and 11-year-old Yosano then. He seems to find their behavior rather cute and endearing exclaiming that "This fortitude...it's amazing..." which of course Yosano finds weird. Mori seems to have been more successful in treating present Elise in such a way because Yosano, although having the same feisty nature, is a little different.

Yosano then sees a soldier (Tachihara's older brother) and a little conversation flows back and forth between them, Yosano saying that he should be back on the frontlines after being healed instead of "reading a novel". He expresses his gratitude by summoning a golden butterfly from the book of poetry he was reading and its placed as a hair clip on Yosano.

The soldier keeps on showing her his gratitude, calling her "Miss Angel" and he seemingly smiles a lot at her and at which we can see Mori disapproves of, a lot:

As I said, he is possessive of her, just as he is with Elise presently. Elise is Mori's ability, but if anyone ever dared to try anything with her I'm sure there would be dire consequences. Now we get to the part where Yosano (her ability rather) would be a real game changer in war and Mori's intentions.

How Mori Plans to Use Yosano as Game-changer to Fight Wars

I'm not sure whether it is canon or not if Mori is a pedophile but he does seem like one (he even says "he's weak to little girl's wishes"). This may be true but he also has a hidden agenda for Yosano.

Mori wrote an essay to the emperor on "An Immortal Regiment", in which it states that Yosano has an ability which can change the world (the world of war and game theory/strategies) , the European powers have realized that using ability users to fight wars is a game-changer, and that it's urgent that they prove the worth of that strategy to the top brass of their military to avoid falling behind.

Obviously, at this point of time in this chapter Yosano knows nothing about this and when Tachihara's older brother explains this she questions it and exclaims she's only come there to save lives, to which Mori holds her back.

And that's where we see Elise after Mori asks her to take them to the patients Yosano needs to heal, but the whole thing about Elise will be discussed under the next heading.

In short he plans to use Yosano or rather her ability to change how war works and later on we find out, to overthrow the previous Mafia Boss as well. As long as she was there, the soldiers would never be able to leave the battlefield no matter the mental trauma. It was their psychical self that mattered to Mori so that they can keep on fighting the war without any delays or retreat.

Fortunately enough, Fukuzawa saves her from this and Ranpo gives her a new hope.

Elise's Age During The Great War and Presently

I understand what you mean when you say she looks older during this war:

...compared to now. Perhaps Mori wanted her a bit younger, he can control her after all, however I am not certain if he can change her age. All I can say about this is that, yes she looks older and might I say much more mature during the great war but! I have something else to point out. Her eyes. They look...as if she is hypnotized, it seems to me that she is not acting out of her own will but rather Mori's complete control. And she even calls him "Master".

Conclusion

Overall the relationship Mori and Yosano have is pretty messed up. I feel Yosano holds resentment and a lot of held-back anger for Mori (she has every right to). While Mori only sees her as a mere pawn to use in a cold-hearted game of chess. First he wanted to use her as a pawn in his game-changing war strategies and such and then he wanted to use her as a pawn to overthrow the "King" or otherwise known as the Previous Mafia Boss.

And since he wants to get her back and work under him in the Mafia, he can fulfill what he previously wanted to do and it is the optimal solution to him. That's all I have and thank you for reading, I hope that this was clear and made sense. If there's anything I missed out feel free to tell me and I'll see what I can do.

ooo feel free to save this for the morning/when ur feeling up for it but!! can u talk about ur protag for each of ur stories, and then ur favorite character if theyre not the protag?? :3cc reading abt ur ocs is super fun robin, we can always tell how much love u put in them!! 💞

of course, thank you so much for asking! ^-^ 

the protagonist of my main project, “paradise’s end”, is leonardo valdez - better known as “leo pendragon”. he’s an adventurer determined to unravel the mysteries surrounding the world, specifically about the whereabouts of “paradise” - a sacred realm wherein the gods themselves rule. this is because of a vow he made with his closest friend (and future love interest), matthew - who is also the deuteragonist and prince of the kingdom of elysium, the novel’s primary setting. to essentially prevent the apocalypse by unearthing the location of the “world tree” - recounted in myth as the gateway to the heavens... 

but let’s focus back on leo himself instead of delving further into the plot... aside from his self-proclaimed “profession” as a renowned adventurer, he’s also the head of the guild “golden eclipse”. his father, lucas valdez, was the original founder of the guild; however, with his untimely demise the responsibility was thereby placed into leo’s hands. although the guild’s primary focus is exploration, they’re also acclaimed for the variety of good deeds they’ve committed throughout the years. because of the government’s negligence of the people - especially those within the lower classes - the guild feels inclined to lend their assisstance. therefore, they’re revered as “heroes” by the general public - leo himself receiving a good reputation and fame, not only for his deeds but for the discoveries he’s made as well.

here’s my golden boy in the flesh! words can’t describe how much i adore him... besides matthew, he’s definitely my favorite character to write for. he’s compassionate, brave, and would never turn a blind eye to someone in need. after all, his father has stated that “kindness is the ultimate remedy for a cruel world”. 

.... moreover, matthew has adapted an entirely different mindset due to the trauma he’s undergone. you see, he’s my overall favorite character purely because of all the effort i’ve put into developing his story as a whole. matthew was blighted by visions depicing that of the imminent apocalypse, only mentioned in prophecies by the ancient sages that once served beneath the gods, and thus became aware of his destiny as a messenger for the destruction. however, it’s eventually revealed that his father - the emperor - sought to use matthew and his younger sister, edith, as tools to control the very heavens and reshape the universe in his image. with the assistance of a cult known as the “wise men” - matthew’s attempts at thwarting the emperor’s scheme resulted with him trapping matthew inside the earth... specifically, the underworld. after all, simply killing matthew wouldn’t be enough - and he’ll still require his power to destroy the heavens when the time is right. 

matthew is left stranded in the underworld for around five years, before he eventually makes a contract with the devil itself out of desperation to escape. he’s still burdened with the task to save the world, from both the angels that seek the annihilation of the human race - and from his own father’s greed. now that his body is possessed by the most heinous demon in existence...  it’s only a matter of time before matthew is consumed entirely. 

leo’s goth boyfriend who hasn’t slept in 50 days and is also possessed by the devil. #letmatthewrest2k19 

this is getting lengthy but i’ll talk about the protagonist of my other wip briefly! so i’ve only recently begun working on this story in particular, but the protagonist herself has been in development for quite a while. originally she was just a random oc i made for fun but she’s come a long way since then! her name is seraphina rune, a gifted young mage under the guidance of whom is considered to be the world’s strongest magic user - oresia trismegistus. she’s a very cheerful and optimistic person, much like leo - albeit a bit ditzy and airheaded as well. 

it’s revealed that seraphina is actually a demigod, being the daughter of gaea - the goddess of life. however, gaea was ultimately captured by an empire known as “solaria” - seemingly good-natured on the outside, yet have ensured peace by using the goddess’s power to their advantage. gaea is gradually evolving into what could be dubbed the world’s greatest monstrosity, as the earth itself decays without the nurturing of its mother. as such, seraphina was kept hidden from the public’s eyes for the entirety of her life - oresia being entrusted by her late father with her safety if anything were to happen to him.... let’s just say the emprie wasn’t pleased with his refusal to hand over his daughter :’)

seraphina must embark on a quest to revive the earth with her very hands, and snuff out the evil that lies within. accompanied by a prince who may or may have a cursed book in his possession, and an eccentic zombie with a conscience. 

baby girl, baby.

It's been a minute since I've posted anything tarot-related, so I wanted to share a few shots from the arrangement I helped set up on my roommate's altar~ ▪ I knew I wanted to use my Little Monster's deck to create a "spread" to represent, more or less, where we currently stand & supplement them with crystals to represent our intentions for the New Year. ▪ For myself, I selected the Knight of Wands with the addition of Rutilated Quartz, Mahogany Obsidian, a unique Blue/Golden Tiger's Eye, Pyrite, and a variation of Jade who's name escapes me right now. Personally, the R. Quartz Tiger's Eye, and Pyrite all represent some aspect of that internal flame that keeps one passionate about one's goals. Mahogany Obsidian is a token of strength, not for conquering others, but for reclaiming a life from fear. Finally, this particular form of Jade always makes me think of matcha, both invigorating & soothing. ▪ For my roommate & partner, I assigned the Queen of Wands, in light of the warmth she provided me & the hope that she may be about to nurture her own passions & interests this year as she had so graciously assissted me in doing. As she is hoping to begin HRT this year, I mostly selected stones to help manifest that goal & birth personal wisdom & self-love: Rose Calcite, Turquoise, Vera Cruz Amethyst, Moonstone, Rhodochrosite, and the Labradorite I used for emotional support during the beginning of my own medical transition. ▪ I chose a blue candle to match the themes that came up for my January collective reading (available on Patreon starting at $1/month) & paired it with my Quartz point with sandy inclusions. ▪ In the back is a sequence of The Empress, Ten of Pentacles, and the Emperor; this represents our transition from spending our third to our fourth year together! (Technically we moved in together in Spring, but it's close enough to count celebrating now, I think~) True to form, I think this last year has been an amazing one for us in terms of finally having a bit of space to let ourselves bloom! Conditions haven't been ideal, but I'm learning that abundance is more about how you make use of what you have rather than how much wealth you amass.
