#then you're washed away

[hersurvival]

It is easy to forget,

Easier to lie and tell myself,

That water is good.

Ignoring the fact that water

Can be far more destructive than fire -

Like torrential rains cannot bring a castle to ruin,

A rogue wave won't wash away the entire shore,

Rivers will not eventually slice the land

And turn glass to sand.

Even when expected,

Floods will continue to devastate

And all it takes is a small puddle to drown in.

Fire is rapid, it's hot, it is apparent.

But water will always gradually win,

There's hardly appropriate precaution.

Especially when it comes from within.

I'm not explaining why re-imagining characters as POC is not the same as white-washing, here of all places should fucking understand.

Part of me looks at resist Durge and thinks "healing and happiness".

The other part of me looks at them and thinks "massive, bloody relapse". Maybe join a new horrible cult to fill the void left by Father.

I mean it's probably more of a journey wobbling between the two over the years and hopefully settling into "healing and happiness", but still.

i'm like n1 lecfosa but i have to say some of the anons i've seen in other people's inboxes because they think that charles could've driven better today or that carlos deserved the win....have not been it. if you have an opinion to say, please just post it on your own blog and put your own name to it rather than going to terrorise and spit on someone who doesn't agree with you while retaining the luxury of hiding behind an anonymous icon. or even better, if you're upset, stick to the blogs that you know share your opinions.

My favorite thing to do in an open world game that gives you quest pins is to do anything except the quests

'Swing Kids fails at showing how cruel the nazis truly were'

This is a movie about german children who weren't inherently in danger by virtue of being 'the right race' whose only 'wrong-doings' were listening to the wrong kind of music and still they were constantly threatened and beat up, were forced to join the HJ to not endanger their families, one of them had his hand hurt so badly by a nazi he couldn't use two of his fingers anymore and had to teach himself to play guitar three-fingered, they were used to gather information for the Gestapo to the point the mc distrusted his best friend, they witnessed beatings and deportations and the shooting of a man on the run, the movie quite literally ends with the teenage main character being sent to what's most likely a concentration camp for dancing to the wrong music

Hate having adhd went to go work on my fallout modpack, got distracted while going to disable the steam overlay, ended up in the points shop, went to go edit my profile, decided to change my pfp, found a buried folder I forgot existed, found some old Veneer art I forgot existed, spent 45 minutes looking at all the old photos, STILL HAVE NOT TOGGLED ONE SIMPLE OPTION THAT SHOULD'VE TAKEN 30 SECONDS AT MOST

ok well we know that jesus can emit pure light as he did when he was in his tomb + i assume the light is holiness or joy or purity (considering his spirit was in heaven but his body had died in sin) (considering his body was holy but his spirit was drowning in unquenchable fire).. thinking about the version of jesus i made up in my head who's way cooler and more transgender and i think he would emit sparks and a glowing electric light if you fucked him and i think it would inspire an unfathomably intense lust

Little floral piece on A5 paper - I traced and puzzled together these designs from various watercolour sketches by my partner (the illustrious and increasingly elusive @ghostbees), who was inspired by needlework in the Quaker School Girl Samplers book.

I saw a video of a painting of Mary being restored, recently. I'm not, nor have I ever been a religious person, but it got me thinking- Why have I never seen Mother Mary grieve like a mother after the Crucifixion?

I've seen plenty of art of Mary holding Jesus after he'd been taken off the cross. But in those, The Virgin Mary feels so, idk, detached. She looks sad, but she's also accepted it. She is serene in her grief, heavenly and beautiful.

To me, Mother Mary is that. She's a Mother.

She held her baby. Raised him with a husband that loved them. Kissed his wounds and wrapped him in hugs when Christ- he was human, so he had to be a child- had a fall. She taught him about his Father, and the future God had prepared for him.

Did she know? She knew she would be pregnant with God's child, the angel told her she would bear the savior to humanity, but did she know how he would die? Did she know that he would be flogged viciously, his beard pulled out, made to wear a crown of thorns, then forced to carry his execution method over nearly a half a mile? Did her heart not break, hearing her son cry out his dying words, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

And even if she did know, would that have made it hurt any less?

IDK, I'm no religious scholar, I'm not even christian/catholic/whatever. I'm thinking of the Jesus documented in history, and the people in his life. but even if I was religious, I'd feel sad, maybe even a little angry for Mary. That she's not allowed grief, that in art she's not allowed to be anything other than the beautiful, serene, loving Virgin Mary.

(zoom for better quality, tumblr is a dumpster fire. I'm pretty happy with this, i tried using digital acrylics in Rebelle instead of watercolors like I usually do. added with the canvas texture, it makes for a cool look)

Hearing this, Jiang Luo looked at the scenery around him. He clearly remembered that he really liked the vigorous and good scenery, and his mood would also rise in joy. But he didn't feel anything right now, so he said indifferently: "It's okay." As soon as these two words were spoken, Jiang Luo realized that there was something wrong. Is there something wrong with his mood? It's too calm. Jiang Luo tried to think about what the Qi family and Chi family had done, but the cruelty that he could not wait to destroy these two families before has been wiped out at this moment, and there is even a kind of indifference to stay out of the matter. He went to think of Lu Yi, Ye Xun, and Feng Li, but his emotions did not fluctuate because of these people. In the end, Jiang Luo's emotions suddenly moved and ripples appeared when he thought of Chi You. His reason told him clearly that he was not right. It seemed that what was washed away was not the filth left by the evil spirits on him, but his malice and desires.

Jiang Luo (horrified): they're sucking the evil out of me!!

SPYAIR - 「Sakura Mitsutsuki」

春の夜 一人だった モノクロの空 ためいきが 消えてく 足早な 人の波 ただ見つめてさ ずっと待っていたんだ

Alone one spring night as my sighs evaporated into the monochrome sky I sat there, waiting and waiting watching the waves of people rushing by

サクラ ひらいても まだ寒い夜には 思い出すんだ 君の顔を 平気なの? 大丈夫さ。 ふざけて手を振る僕 あの日、君と 交わした約束

Even though the Sakura have already bloomed, a chill still lingers in the air On nights like this, your face floats into my mind "You okay? Yeah, I'm fine." I remember we joked around, and I waved to you I remember the promise we made with eachother that day

僕らは 僕らは あの欠けた月の 半分を探して 孤独を 分け合う 事ができたなら もう一��� 誓うよ

The two of us, the two of us are still searching for that missing half of the moon If we could share in our loneliness I'd make that vow with you once again

四角いベンチ座り ぼんやり眺める空 思い出すんだ 昨日のように ささやかな笑顔も 些細な言い合いも どれだけ僕を 強くさせただろう?

Sitting on this bench, staring at the sky I remember like it was yesterday I remember your half-there smiles, our meaningless fights I wonder, how much stronger did they make me?

あれから あれから あの欠けた月の 半分を探して いつかは いつかは サクラの花咲く 満月の元へと

Ever since then, ever since then We've been searching for that missing half of the moon And someday, someday we'll find our way back to where we saw the Sakura blooming underneath the full moon

移り変わる街並 僕ら急かすよう 君は今どこで 何をしてるの? それなりの暮らし それなりの幸せ それでも まだ追いかけてる

It feels like the everchanging townscape is urging is on Where are you now? What're you doing? We've both found our own sort of happiness, forged our own paths through life And still, we chase after-

僕らは 僕らは あの欠けた月の 半分を探して 孤独を 分け合う 事ができたなら もう一度… あれから あれから あの欠けた月の 半分を探して いつかは いつかは サクラの花咲く 満月の元へと

The two of us, the two of us Are still searching for that missing half of the moon If we could share in our loneliness then once more, I'd…. Ever since then, ever since then we've been searching for that missing half of the moon And someday, someday we'll find our way back to where we saw the Sakura blooming underneath the full moon
