thinking sooo hard about fabian’s presents to everyone in freshman year…..he acts like he doesn’t care but he’s BEEN paying attention enough to get people super personalized gifts and like the way everybody responded with like ‘this is too good to be true’ ‘how could somebody have gotten us our hearts desires’ i’m sorry he’s the guy of all time

You know I make fun of Paul for telling the same three anecdotes all of the time but to be completely honest, as soon as he explains how he wrote Let It Be at the concert I’m going to, I’ll feel like Mary Magdalene discovering the Risen Christ

If you are scrupulous, the gulf between what you were taught about religion and what you think you were taught about religion could be huge. It is, of course, fully possible that you were given bad doctrine by clueless individuals, but if you still have access to the people who schooled you in your faith—family members, family friends, mentors with whom you remain in touch—it might be worth asking them what they meant by some of the things they said. The scrupulous mind tends to draw very extreme conclusions. You might be shocked by some of the clarification that you get.

Something something Cain and Abel and their tale. How Cain being the eldest and a farmer, while Abel was a shepherd and the youngest. How god favorited Abel’s sacrifice.. How Cain killed his brother because of anger and jealousy and how he was looked down by god. Cain was exiled and the he started a new life. But he couldn’t be a farmer anymore.

Something something Abraham was told to sacrifice his son Isaac. But in some version Abraham sacrifices a ram or lamb instead. Isn’t it weird how animal sacrifice use lamb a lot in stories? How lamb are seen as pure and gentle and trusting. How did Cain and Abraham feel? How did Abe and Isaac feel? Imagine if you were Isaac, going on a hike with your father, building a fire and alter. His father tired to kill him. The only reason you’re alive is because either god said no, or because you’re dad was to scared. Would Isaac still love his father after that? Does he forget it and move on? Does he ever fear his father? Or his father’s love?

Did Abe feel betrayed when his brother killed him? Or did he know? Did Abe’s blood actually curse the soil? Would Abe forever hunt his brother? Did Abe ever wonder what if the roles were reversed?

Hey (with the intention of becoming so obsessed with you, I make my entire life revolve around you and even going as far to make you my religion)

That's me in the corner, that’s me in the spotlight, losing my religion

I’m a bit surprised that the whole “Fyodor has a god complex” thing is so widespread. Asides from the fact that him seeing himself as a follower of god’s will is, well, canon, and in turn makes his use and control of others and eagerness to speak to Dazai, an “equal mind”, a neat juxtaposition, it also makes the whole Fyodor-Mykola dynamic so much more interesting.

If Fyodor sees himself as god, then his fascination with Mykola becomes the fascination one might have with a trapped, fluttering bug; Mykola’s fondness for Fyodor becomes devotion. But that’s not the dynamic they have at all.

Fyodor is an actor of god’s will. He does what is necessary, in his view, to create the order and perfection he thinks is inherent to God. “In opposition to God, you are fighting to lose sight of yourself” - is what he says to Mykola. “Splendid.” It is still said with the expectation he will fail, I believe. But it’s not said from some high vantage, just a certain interest at the futility of it all, but also an appreciation for, ironically enough, the clarity with which Mykola sees things. That freedom runs in opposition to Fyodor’s quest for perfection, but both goals lie in the capacity they share to see what lies beneath the surface of society like few else. And so Fyodor… just lets Mykola do what he wants, mostly. Mykola is a wild card; he helps the decay just as much as he acts independently. Fyodor is very direct with his control most of the time, but Mykola is not ensnared in Fyodor’s web, but in the web of God himself. Fyodor finds him intriguing. He indulges his quest for freedom. He indulges his silliness too.

And Mykola, who would commit acts of evil, acts he acknowledges as evil, just to break free of earthly bonds; to become someone un-beholden to society or morality or human attachment; he feels seen. He calls Fyodor his friend. He engages him, on friendly terms, in a way no one else does; with games, and no fear of contact. He feels understood, for once (look how quickly he throws his act up again when Atsushi cannot understand his fascination with birds) - and therein lies the problem. He is fighting to lose himself. Instead, Fyodor saw through him. ‘Found’ him, in a sense. And now Mykola has exactly what he was trying so hard to break free from - attachment to another; not the attachment of worship to a deity but the bond that comes from seeing and being seen. As screwed up as they both are, it’s just a friendship, plain and simple. But Mykola cannot lose sight of himself for as long as he is seen. So he has to die. Fyodor has to die because Mykola must do cruel, evil things if he is ever to be free of bonds, and expectation, and love, and the reflection that comes with someone knowing the depths of whatever remains of your soul.

And all the while, no matter how Fyodor wields his righteous hand and intellect and Mykola cuts and hacks at the strands of his still-beating heart in an attempt to grow wings, they both play by, in Fyodor’s eyes, the rules of God’s intent. Ultimately, they walk the same ground as the other.

If my shitty bit of art offends you…. Oh also if you’re antisemetic….

And think about your morals and ethics for a bit. You’re not welcome here, Zionist.

my boyfriend asks me a reasonable question of a personal nature. I sigh deeply and tell him I cannot possibly explain how I think and feel on the matter unless I give him a very condensed theology lecture first. he listens, and then asks if that is really how I look at the world. I assure him that yes, it really is. I wait for him to think it’s stupid or inhuman or overdramatic. I ask some probing questions. he actually thinks it’s comforting, or romantic. I wait for him to ask derisively why I have to make everything about God. instead he exclaims how amazing it is that my relationship with him is allowed to be a part of my love for God.

Week 10: todays origin is Copper Gollum, I was originaly gonna do the normal orange colour but he looked a bit too much like a certain orange president(twat) from America and so I decided to change it, before he started to have ideas about stopping woman’s rights to health care, anyways I gave him “Greek style clothes” probably not accurate because all I could find where like them shitty Halloween outfits but I worked with it, this is the first oc I’ve drawn without there book and quilt, I always give them one because I love writing stories and I like to reflect that in my oc’s, but cause this one is a robot sorta character I was like, why not make him angsty little robot man with no feelings? :)
