Come, let me consume your emptiness!

Do I still embarrass you, creator?

Let me feast on your fear, as I show you a true death.

This is my oc, Valentinus! I’ll put more info about him below. This drawing would be as if he was a partner character in the game!

Valentinus is originally a Percy Jackson OC! A Roman from the Second Punic War, now being thrown into the present and having to deal with a bunch of demigod stuff!

In this au, he isn’t a demigod however.

During a fight against Carthage, Valens was pushed off a warship headed to modern-day Spain and ended up in New Wirral. He struggles with the new language and technology, but is still a proficient warrior (even in cassette battles!). Studying under Gladiola, he seems to have a story that is full of death and fear…

Not sure if I've told this story here before, but once upon a time, I didn't really get the point of most protests happening my area because I viewed them as "preaching to your own echo chamber" in a lot of cases. Ex: I saw people do a climate march through a very liberal university campus within a very liberal city, and I was just like "Okay, everyone here agrees with you. This place has crazy aggressive sustainability goals. What is the point of this?"

Then when Roe fell, there were a lot of protests outside the courthouses in cities near me, and though those city courthouses do serve the surrounding rural areas as well, the cities themselves are all rather progressive and left-leaning, so once again I was like "Okay, what is the point of this?" but I went anyway just for the experience. We stood on a street corner with our signs. Most people driving by honked in agreement with us. A few people yelled "abortion is murder" at us out their car windows, and we yelled back "abortion is healthcare!" Cool, okay, still didn't get the point because it's not like we were changing any minds or there in large numbers (we were no threat to any power structures), and the city already largely agreed with us.

But then we got another SUV that pulled up and yelled "abortion is murder!" at us (both husband and wife this time). Looked in the back seat, and they were traveling with their daughter who was maybe 13ish. She locked eyes with me, gave me the most serious look I've ever received, and gave us a thumbs up just above the window ledge so that her family couldn't see.

And that's the day I learned that protests are not always about threatening entrenched power structures but letting people in isolated ideological bubbles know that there are other perspectives and that if they share them, they're not alone.

what do you mean elon musk did a nazi salute on live tv at the united states presidential inauguration twice and is now erasing the evidence off the internet by replacing the footage with the crowd cheering instead?

would be a shame if people reblogged this, wouldn’t it?

It’s Black History Month, that means the next time you come across a funny internet lingo take a moment and ask yourself “where did this come from?” 8/10 it’ll be an AAVE original

I genuinely think there was no greater insight into the modern Christian mindset than when the Pope said he very much hoped Hell was empty and he was absolutely hounded by both Catholics and Protestants outraged at the idea of a man who wanted a place of infinite suffering to have nobody in it.

[Image Description: Two digital drawings made in the same style, with geometric line art and block colors. The drawings have the same background, which is a gradient of dark grey, to red, to off-white, to green. The drawing on the left depicts a man with tan skin who is wearing a black and white keffiyeh and a light tan thobe with the sleeves rolled up. He is raising his right arm into the air with an angry expression, holding a Palestinian flag. The text around him says ‘FREE PALESTINE’ in all caps. The drawing on the right depicts a woman with tan skin who is wearing an al-amira head scarf and a black thobe with red accent panels, each panel patterned with a different design seen on the keffiyeh. She is looking to the left with an angry expression, cupping a bleeding Palestinian sunbird in her hands. A single tear is rolling down her cheek. The text behind her reads ‘PALESTINA LIBRE’ in all caps, which translates to ‘free Palestine’ in english. Below the text is an elongated Palestinian flag. End ID.]
