[niccagereligioussociety]

Introductory post/pinned post!

What is the Nic Cage Religious Society? Why should you join? (all the questions, answered and answered)

First off, what is this blog about?? This blog is pretty much about anything related to the worship/admiration of Nic Cage! Here I mostly plan on posting random nonsensical photoshops of him - please don't take anything that's posted here seriously - it isn't meant to be!

What's religious about it? Almost nothing! I like referring to Nic Cage as my "lord and savior", and this blog is just an extension of that! I'm not religious and don't take any problem with people that are - this isn't meant to mock religion or people who are religious/practice it. I just like Nic Cage, it isn't that deep.

How can I join the society/are there any practices or rituals? You don't need anything to join/become a follower - just a love for Nic Cage (ironic or unironic!) It doesn't matter if you're already religious - no religion, bad religion, we'll sell you a new one for free! As for practice, nothing is required! I gently encourage people to make funny photoshops and eat shortbread if they desire.

Who runs this blog/who made the society? (and why??) I'm the sole runner of this blog and creator of the society - just a student with way too much free time! You can call me Cagious Nicothy if you want, I have no idea lol. I made this group/blog because I could! I enjoy Nic Cage both ironically and unironically - I find the man thoroughly hilarious.

DNI if: - You dislike vague religious/political imagery (even if it is used as part of a joke) - You dislike Nic Cage - You are homophobic/transphobic (this is an LGBTQIA+ safe space!)

Other important info: - I call Nicolas Cage "Nic" because I can, it's just a funny short nickname, I don't intend to somehow disrespect him by calling him this. - Again, this blog/whole idea is not meant to throw shade on any religion/beliefs (or Nic Cage)! None of this is meant to be taken seriously, it's just a weird hobby for me at this point. - Please use the ask box to ask any questions related to Nic Cage, share images/stories, or just talk about random stuff! - I am not an expert on Nic Cage! I like him and have watched interviews and movies, but I am far from knowing everything about him - please feel free to correct me if I ever state a fact about him that is incorrect! - This is not a Christian blog! I know Nic Cage is Christian/was raised that way, but this isn't a blog about his personal beliefs - it's just a funny stupid blog about Nic Cage in general.

That's pretty much it! All the images I'm going to post here are made by me - except for the blog banner, which I found on wallpapercave.com and was uploaded by firexhor! I hope that anyone who comes across this blog enjoys weird Nic Cage themed art as much as I do!

cotl angst / my take on an alternate path

-- what if the lamb chose to murder narinder? --

The world went silent.

The entire realm of liminal cloud they stood upon was empty of sound - void of anything but quiet gasps from the caged followers hung above.

The lamb's soft steps seemed deafening.

Narinder's ears pricked up. He stared to his hands, no longer large and pointed, no longer terrifying wherever he beckoned them; now two meek paws.

A sword scraped the underside of his chin, forcing him upwards.

Lamb.

His Lamb.

Narinder's eyes hardened. How odd, it was, to be knelt at half the height of him, when he used to be 10 times higher.

The lamb's cold, black eyes, once glazed with innocence, stared at him with sheer, unbridled victory. A poison, victory was. Something that coursed through your veins long enough to curdle adrenaline into addiction.

Narinder saw that in the lamb.

He'd always assumed the crown would be his long before that guess would be correct.

Humiliated, he felt the eyes of twenty followers watching his every breath as the lamb exhaled, frowning.

"Do you yield?"

In all of the time Narinder had used him and his followers for faith and power, Narinder had never heard more than a bleat from the lamb.

His voice was cold. One that had the potential to be soft or kind, maybe even fun and loving - but was instead cold.

Narinder swallowed thickly. His heart, a blackened, broken thing, was twisting in an unfamiliar emotion.

"Do you think I have a choice." He hissed at the lamb, voice hoarse.

The lamb's expression did not move, but his head titled slightly to the side. "You don't. I figure I would ask anyway." he began, nodding up to the followers. "I believe in options."

"You are a disgrace upon the red crown-"

"And you are a disgrace upon my gaze."

Followers bustled in quiet admiration from above them, still sealed in Narinder's own cages.

"You dare-"

The lamb pressed the tip of the blade into Narinder's neck.

"I do." he whispered. "The tides have changed. 'One Who Waits' will be a fitting name for you."

Narinder narrowed his eyes.

"Especially," the lamb breathed, raising the sword, "When I curse you to a limbo between whatever hells your bishops are rotting in."

Holding the blade above Narinder, the lamb breathed heavily.

"Do. You. Yield."

Narinder lowered his head. Not even a God can escape that of which he embodies.

The sword slashed through flesh.

The clouds bled.

I think my funniest earth c/godstuck eridan hc is that, as a way to atone for the mistakes of his youth, he appoints himself as the god in charge of punishing those who use their faith/beliefs as an excuse to harm others. And he takes it VERY seriously, effectively making him a zealot for anti-zealotry. You might think this version of eridan would seem somewhat noble or dignified, but no. He’s priestblaster311

Ok, I'm assuming The Ritual movie is horror but seeing those two pictures of the actors made me think it was a comedy!

it's not a comedy? well, it should be!

re: glitch in irminsul

thanks so much for reading!! i hope you like it so far! 😊🩵

in all fairness, the cult AU is a sub-AU of the larger SAGAU! it has definitely grown in popularity, but it's definitely possible to still find stuff about the general SAGAU as well!

there's a reason why the cult/angst aspect of the AU is so popular, though, and it's a very valid and enjoyable AU if that's your thing! and if it's not there's probably plenty of other fluffy AUs you can check out instead, in case the SAGAU tag is too much of a minefield for you. there's all kinds of content for everybody out there 🤗

While I entirely understand Indians who have been traumatized by Hinduism and would never deny them those feelings, asserting that it is a uniquely oppressive faith just isn't true. All religions, like any social technology, have the capacity to empower or oppress based on an infinite number of factors. I'm white, so my positionality here is far different from that of a Desi person and I'll therefor never know what it's like to be a queer Indian or someone of a lower caste, there has certainly been a lot of harm done to those groups in the name of faith, but the same is true the world over.

I don't practice, but I study Hinduism at a university level and have seen its flaws and the ways it can be surprisingly empowering (Arjuna when he's in exile in Virata and Shikandi -both a part of the Mahabharata- are two of my favourite examples of stories that you can read as queer and more specifically trans).

Likewise, my academic sister and someone who has more or less adopted me is a middle aged Indian woman who is an extremely devout follower of Krishna. She has nevertheless welcomed me into her home as a trans man and spoken about how she loves the acceptance of Canadian society, she also talks about how she abhors the caste system and the harm is causes.

Like I said at the top, I will never argue against people who have been hurt by the faith, but the generalizations of hatred hurt my heart.

(P.S. i'm too scared to go off anon here, but if you wanna talk about Hinduism Velvet just say so and i'll DM you lmao)

and btw an Indian woman having trauma doesn't make her racist for not liking her own culture's dominant religion but it is

absolutely

racist that a lot of White people are cheering on her epic dunk on a religion of more than a billion people because they would recognize that please-get-therapy response would be bugfuck if she directed that hostility towards a trans Christian but it being something outside of their own cultural context means everyone is totally thrilled to go along with "it inspired the Nazis! you can't be Hindu without being transphobic!"

like literally that is the entirety of her complaint

I pointed out the OP was not about her and she IMMEDIATELY pivoted away from that issue to me being "obsessed" with her because I briefly discussed her book one month ago and apply the term she uses for her ideology to others who share it with the framing that I'm doing an Operation Freakout because she's apparently gone on rants about Hinduism before

so regardless of her meltdown being triggered by something she now is undeniably aware was not about her she still gets her W from the cheering crowds because she ripped the mask off her bubbling trauma making her lose her shit at anyone who practices or is working towards practicing Hinduism which everyone loves because to them it's just some backwards foreign cult akin to a browner version of Scientology

God, can you imagine how they feel about Jews if they're this angry about Hindu atrocities? No fucking wonder they can't go five seconds without accusing anyone they dislike of being a Zionist the second they find out they're Jewish. It's unimaginably racist. Not of Talia, she just needs time off the internet, but of every White person who will uncritically share it in spite of the fact that no they truly would not say some dumb shit like this about the major religions that fit into their cultural context. This is exactly how TERFs are with Muslims, but it's not praxis right now for TRFs to hate Muslims unless China is the one putting them in concentration camps.

"transfeminized people are at the bottom of the caste system" ohhhhh my God and Christians have murdered queer people FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS but to act like a trans person being Hindu is a unique act of betrayal or short-sightedness you have to conveniently ignore that because it would be so obviously wrong to say that queer people can't be Christian

so postcanon, hua cheng ascends as god of true love. xie lian is delighted. hua cheng is like mehh been there done that except danxia is so genuinely happy for him that he ought to do this right. how hard can it be, the cult can't be all that big. cue hua cheng opens his new palace door and immediately is buried beneath prayer scrolls. it's a lot but hua cheng is no pushover. unfortunately, most of the the gods don't share xie lian's enthusiasm and do their best to stonewall him. sure, xie lian, mu qing and fengxin (the latter two with lots of schadenfreude) would help but hua cheng will die again before he admits, he needs help especially not from mu qing or feng xin. he could make he xuan help but just imagining that asshole's smug, judging face gives hua cheng hives. so it's prayers in heaven, prayers in ghost city, prayers at home. whereever hua cheng he is answering at least six prayers at the same time.

until one day, hua cheng is toiling away at his prayers at the xie lian's temple, while xie lian's gone out and shi qingxuan arrives. moments later, one of ling wen's gormless middle officials shows up to heave more prayers onto hua cheng. the poor sod dumps them all over the temple, it's total chaos. hua cheng is ready to tear their head off. shi qingxuan steps between them, refers by the middle official by name, assures hua cheng that they didn't mean it and they'll sort the prayers for him. the middle official tries to abscond but shi qingxuan baits them with a conversation. after they're done and the middle official has left. hua cheng tells shi qingxuan that the official is going to tell everyone who wants to hear about the miserable life of the formerly, mighty wind master. shi qingxuan is like maybe so but all of this is sorted now. then he gives hua cheng three names of middle officials and what they can be bribed with and explains ling wen's filing system. hua cheng thinks to himself that shi qingxuan really knows what they're talking about. answering prayers is much easier. he's still thinking about it when he xuan visits and he is struggling again. so apropos of nothing, he asks he xuan whether he got any plans for the former wind master and he xuan says something like i don't care what they do with their life. hua cheng kind of asks, so if some god asked him to become their official you wouldn't care? he xuan thinking that no god will do that, says no idgaf. hua cheng is like ok.

and then he asks/coerces (begs) shi qingxuan to become his middle official because shi qingxuan is really good at that.

he xuan lied, btw, he doesn't have zero feelings about that.

Holy heck PLEASE tell me if Subaru’s insecurities are blinding him at LEAST a little bit

There’s NO WAY the others are messing up this BADLY, tell me a lie if you have to there’s no way they’re messing this up so much

How bad are they messing up? 😭😭 Surely not that bad right??? Right???

(This is about BTZ btw)

I DID tag that fic as “Unreliable Narrator” for a reason lol. The misunderstandings that the story hinges on are very much due in part to everyone else just — constantly rolling critical fails, but they’re also due to a whole spell of bad luck that means everything just has the worst possible timing, and also due to Subaru being both incredibly insecure and completely unwilling to let on to the fact that he’s actually feeling very hurt right now.

But — for some examples about how badly this disconnect is going…

Julius: Julius is fully under the impression that he and Subaru are buds. He did try to apologize at first, and pull back a bit, and when Wilhelm roped him into training as a way to try and scare Subaru away from the idea of being a swordsman he immediately protested out of concern for Subaru’s mental well-being — but then Subaru insisted on fighting him and that he totally wasn’t emotionally affected and also Julius is ugly and stupid and he’s totally gonna win this time. Julius genuinely came away from this interaction thinking that 1) Subaru just wants to move on already and trying to be apologetic about it would just be insulting, and 2) Subaru is not just unafraid, but is actively looking to roughhouse with him — an impression that completely falls in line with his memory of old-timeline!Subaru having been a massive masochist.

From here on, Julius feels that he’s constantly being encouraged to be rougher and rougher with Subaru due to Subaru not just never backing down, but also actively escalating situations in an effort to prove just how not-scared he is. He’s genuinely just following Subaru’s lead. But because Subaru is lying about his true feelings and what he actually wants, this arrangement is actively making Subaru’s mental health worse.

Things Julius does in service of this massive miscommunication:

Teases him almost constantly. It’s a lot meaner than he would be with anyone else, but this is SUBARU. He remembers damn well how disappointed and sulky Subaru would get in the old timeline if he didn’t bait him a little now and then. And this current Subaru gets riled up in much the same way, so it must be the same scenario.

Spars with him regularly. He’s terrible at losing on purpose, and also he’s a total show-off who likes taking Subaru by surprise — ie. bring out his spirits for a flashy new move in an eager desire to see Subaru’s reaction to something he has legitimately never witnessed before in his life. He thinks this is all in good fun and that Subaru is having just as good a time as he is (or even that Subaru is having even MORE fun than Julius, because a large part of why Julius likes this is specifically because he believes he is showing Subaru a good time).

Sneaks up behind him after a long shift patrolling in the cold and announces his presence by pressing his freezing hand against the back of his neck to make him scream.

Tries to instruct Subaru about good etiquette in the midst of “lighthearted banter.” He doesn’t realize that Subaru thinks he’s threatening him.

Sits on him at one point. See the Sparring Practice ficlet.

(The BTZ III reveal that Subaru was legitimately terrified of him this entire time HURTS, because it recontextualizes everything that the knight believed had been his way of showing Subaru affection and camaraderie. Julius never, ever wanted to make him feel this bad.)

Wilhelm: Subaru is now Wilhelm’s grandson. Wilhelm forgot to tell Subaru about this. —Well, it’s more accurate to say that he’s trying to prove his worth as a potential grandfather first by eliminating the Witch Cult, but because of this Subaru has no fucking clue that Wilhelm sees him as anything more than an unwelcome pest. This means that a lot of Wilhelm’s attempts to bond with him outside of dueling practice are interpreted…differently.

Wilhelm and Subaru go out for tea at a high-end establishment. Wilhelm spends so much time getting Subaru dressed properly in a suit and tries to use the opportunity as a way to teach him how to conduct himself in formal settings in an environment that is low-stakes and ultimately very much just for fun. Subaru does not understand what is happening and is so caught up in his impression of “Wilhelm hates me” that he interprets all of this in the most hostile light imaginable.

(Did not help that Wilhelm initially suggested that Subaru wear a dress. Wilhelm was just trying to coax out that interest in crossdressing that he already knows is a genuine part of Subaru’s identity. Subaru thought it was an insult about how badly he was failing as a prospective knight.)

He’s not the only one in charge of this, but Wilhelm spends a lot of time teaching Subaru how to read. He tries to be more lax and friendly here than he is during those swordsmanship lessons he wishes Subaru would stop insisting on. Subaru either does not notice or is so on-edge that he thinks Wilhelm is just being subtler, now that he doesn’t have a ready-made excuse to whack him over the head.

Wilhelm initially asked Julius to spar with Subaru in his stead in yet another attempt to scare Subaru off from the sport, but this quickly turned into him ALLOWING them to spar together because he thought Subaru genuinely liked sparring with Julius and caved at the idea of Subaru being able to actually play with a trusted knight in a controlled environment. Subaru interprets his motivations VERY differently here.

Wilhelm is gonna learn that Subaru thinks he despises him and die a little inside. He put off adopting him because he thought he had to prove himself first, but in doing so he may have just destroyed their relationship entirely. He wants to go back and kick himself.

Crusch: I haven’t spoken about Crusch a lot, but her role is fairly important here, even if she might not show up a WHOLE lot. Crusch’s relationship with Subaru is somewhat distant when compared to characters like Wilhelm, Ferris, Julius, and Reinhard — who interact with him almost constantly — but she’s technically the one “in charge” of him at the moment, and she’s prepared to take on that role up until the point Wilhelm finally formally adopts him into his household. This outcome is one that everyone BUT Subaru has accepted as an inevitability.

Crusch believes that her job is to make sure that Subaru has a stable, structured environment that can not just keep him safe, but also serve to instruct him on how to behave himself properly in this new world, because he was INFAMOUS for not being able to conduct himself in what would have been considered an appropriate manner in the old timeline. The only reason he got away with it was because of his many spectacular feats, and everyone knows that they absolutely cannot allow him to put himself in a position where he can accomplish feats like that again — but that also means he’s not going to have an excuse if he screws up and paints himself as a weirdo who should be avoided at best or a jerk who needs the shit kicked out of him at worst. Crusch is very much using a carrot-and-stick approach to try and train him up as a model citizen who won’t get himself in trouble quite so much — but she ends up using the carrot pretty rarely, and when she does he’s often not in a place where he can recognize that that’s what she’s doing.

Also, she’s straight up Not Around a lot of the time because she’s busy as both a Royal Candidate and one of the top leaders of the new Witch Cult Elimination Force. Otherwise…maybe her Divine Protection would clue her into what’s going on a little sooner than it does.

Reinhard: Subaru is now Reinhard’s little brother. Reinhard genuinely completely forgot to tell Subaru this.

Reinhard is now so insanely overprotective of Subaru because he just saw Subaru die…a LOT. And he was almost never there. He will NEVER not be there again, not if he has anything to say about it. And — and he’s going to be a good role model who can teach Subaru not to charge into dangerous situations, and to avoid assassins and mabeasts and archbishops, and to not do stupid stuff like leaping out of dragon carriages while they’re in motion —

Subaru thinks that Reinhard now sees him as a prisoner, or a future crook, or just some untrustworthy fuck who needs constant supervision. Every time Reinhard tries to do fun things like go out for lunch or visit the local gardens or play games in the courtyard, his overprotectiveness makes everything blow up in their faces and paints him as some sort of correctional officer — and Reinhard doesn’t have the emotional intelligence necessary to realize that he’s failing that hard in the first place.
