#this is absolutely a huge fear

[audreyrose7]

Atheists are nicer people than Christians.

That's just like a fact, granted I know there must be some Christians out there who are kind people, I just haven't really found any.

Besides that point the entire baseline of Christianity is a fear tactic to get people to behave, do this or you'll go to hell don't do that or you'll go to hell, etc, etc, there are a thousand and one rules that Christians have to follow to try to get into heaven and if they're not worrying about that they're worrying about what the rest of us are doing! Like I was a Christian! I understand the weight of feeling like you're responsible for everyone's souls.

Like I get it.

My point is if a thousand and one rules and fear of hell is what's making you be a good person are you really a good person?

My argument is if somebody that DOESN'T believe in any eternal reward or eternal punishment is kind anyway, they are a much more genuinely worthwhile person. They aren't doing it to gain anything they simply want to put as much kindness into the world as they can.

So I believe in extraterrestrial life but I'm not sure if there is life that's comparable to humans (not that we're special, we as animals just happen to be more complex than prokaryotic/""simple"" life). With the assumption that there is life out there like us, I wonder if g-d entered a covenant with them? I wonder what that would look like?

What do you all think? I feel like there's no reason not to think He'd enter into an agreement with those people if they're out there, personally, but what would that look like for them?

At this moment of reminiscense, Dorian and Elizabeth's eyes met, and their smiles mirrored one another as Elizabeth commented off-handedly:

"I think I'm beginning to understand that feeling."

Walking behind the two younger couples, unable to resist cooing over her sleeping granddaughter just as her mother was, June caught little snatches of the conversation, with certain remarks just happening to make her ears prick up a little more, though she never let her face show what she was thinking and feeling, to say nothing of refusing to give voice to these thoughts. As she had told Lon earlier in the month, she had her theories, but at the end of the day, whatever was on Dorian and Elizabeth Gracey's mind was theirs to announce, and she certainly wasn't going to impede upon that.

At the very least, when the party had made it back to the attic, and Randall and Emily quietly took the twins to their room for a nap, she took Elizabeth aside for a moment, venturing to say, choosing her words carefully, "Well, if you do ever feel sick again, if any nausea or soreness pops up again...please, don't hesitate to come to me. I'd like to help in any way I can."

Elizabeth studied June's face for a moment, remaining calm upon this suggestion being put to her-the matriarch's face was just as calm as her own, and there was a gentle sincerity in the way she smiled at her, to say nothing of something of a mischievous twinkle to her eye, a sort of subtle, knowing look that reminded Elizabeth of her own mother, and the looks she would give her one and only daughter when she knew something was afoot.

But even with that look, the mistress of Gracey Manor knew Mrs. June Pace was a woman she could trust, and so she flashed her an appreciative smile, saying, "If anything comes up, I'll be sure to look to you first. Thank you, June."

"Think nothing of it, Elizabeth."

as a general rule, on average, if americans consistently complain about a food being conceptually weird, gross, and scary, then it probably tastes amazing. or at least inoffensive.

this is because in my experience americans for the most part (give or take a few exceptions by region) think eating literally anything other than beef, chicken, bread, eggs, peanut butter jelly sandwitches, ketchup, and disgusting cloyingly artificial brown sludge soda is insurmountably weird, gross, and scary.

all the lyrics across Taylor’s past 5 albums about how she hopes she doesn’t lose him (hopes he doesn’t leave, hopes it never ends) only to arrive at her saying “you’re losing me.”

fra! happy wednesday, i hope your week has been going well so far <33 humbly requesting 💚 for the unpopular opinions ask!

mil!! hello!!! <333 i lost all concept of time so i didn't realise it was wednesday until this ask!

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

lets go for james for this one!! so often he's being portrayed as someone who's had 24601 dates and realtionships and is like. popular with all the girls (and guys) but man like. he had one look at lily and was like yup, i'm hers, and then never looked back again. doodling her initials in hearts on his exam papers, like come on... the only other person he'd look at twice while having a very persistent and long lasting crush is sirius, because it's sirius. james is so very grey romantic coded like he has like 2 crushes in his whole life and thats it. sure he falls in love a lot, but he falls in love with the concept of people, not actually with the people themselves. (also on that note. i refuse to say james is bi or pan or whatever else. he is such an unbothered unlabelled guy. like why should he bother thinking about it when he's had the same crush for a decade. he likes this single person and that's it)

unpoluar opinion asks!!

“‘let’s try that again, lula.’ the name tasted like tears on her lips, but it also felt like light; the way she felt about lula was a physical presence in her body, like the force.”

A while ago I made the mistake of watching some of Pyrrhic Victoria's Lore Olympus review on youtube and holy shit the amount that they completely lambasted the comic--not just bigger thematic issues and structural flaws (of which LO has plenty imho, I'm not a fan of it myself) but little art inconsistencies and awkward dialogues and tiny tiny nitpicky flaws. They go through panel by panel sometimes and just completely shit on it.

This is over 30 hours of content. No fucking wonder Rachel Smythe and Webtoon copyright struck their videos--wouldn't you try and strike a series of hours-long videos that exists solely to drive people away from your work and tear apart every little detail for the purpose of making it look bad? I sure fucking would.

Okay, thank God for whoever does the CR transcripts and puts them up on the wiki, they have saved my bacon. The Yussa stuff happens AFTER the Lavish Chateau, not before, it's an evening thing, not a day thing.

Okay. We can work with them. Got this planned. I can skim over things, this'll work...okay.

I can still be thrown into the sea though because I'm sure this is garbage and also it's stupid to be stressing out about this stuff.
