a theomachist in the face of a cruel god, or more reassuringly, something worse entirely

#pathologic #daniil dankovsky #мор утопия #bachelor dankovsky #my art #el bibi.... #a wink if you can guess which saint i. tried. to draw. #all beetles from plates by Georgiy Jacobson in his “Жуки России и Западной Европы” 1905-1915 I know he would have it. I know this to be tru #the text (“this feeling of brilliant vermin watch it ebb and flow / be merciful to them like you wish [...] was to you”) is about him #knowing he was gay from a young age (~12) & not dealing with it Ideally in his (christian orthodox + #strict-masculinity-enforcing) household 🤧👍 #<- To Me......... #bit embarrassing that I had this exact concept as a digital wip for 5 months now but it's seeing a cool beetle on my walk yesterday that #kicked me into making it become real..... the unthought benefits of touching grass: it makes wip be made. #everytime i have to color balance in the disgusting indoor light at night. well. gets on my nerves to put it lightly

#saint anthony #seriously if you grew up in or in close proximity to a christian esp catholic household st anthony would do ALL the heavy lifting #my man hasn't let me down yet #christianity #might be an alienating meme for my followers... #could go either way #is this blasphemy? #blasphememes

At War of the Wings this year, the theme was Hallowstide (which is liturgically incorrect, but I loved the theme too much to say anything), and so the two sides for the weekend were Sinners vs. Saints. I told our Household that we should be on the Saint's side because I know too many of them that you didn't want to mess with.

One bottle of soju later and I am giving a whole dissertation on badass Saints around the fire, in which I was told, "Marie - I'm pretty sure Moses didn't say 'bet'" and "I don't think Olga would have said, 'all y'all bitches.'" I love my Household, but I don't need that sort of negativity in my life.

The Heir of Redclyffe is teaching me that what Little Women really needed was for the March sisters to have a clever, witty, sharp-tongued, disabled brother who was BFFs with Laurie.

#charles edmonstone my beloved #he's so much fun #and his friendship with guy is one of the best parts of the book #i'm shocked to see a victorian book where the disabled person is neither a monster nor a saint #the disability affects his life and the household but it's far from the only thing about him #he's a great character in his own right #he even has a plot-relevant illness #but the plot relevance isn't 'oh no he's near death let's have drama' #but 'he's having a flareup and can't write letters so someone loses a vital correspondant at an unfortunate moment' #(charles does later lampshade the lost opportunity for a dramatic deathbed reconciliation scene) #but anyway despite my continued comparisons of this book and little women #they are different books #aside from the laurie thing and the general family atmosphere and the moralizing mother figure there's quite a lot different #for one thing the male characters are much more interesting than most of the female ones #the girls are fine but certainly not the main draw of the story #i do like the religious aspect of this one more though #at first it was giving me anxiety cuz they agonize over teeny little sins #but once we moved from childish concerns to more adult ones the faith aspect became much deeper #still clunky and eye-rolling at times but also surprisingly natural in some places #and i'm still holding my breath for whatever made jo cry over this book #66% through the book; it's gotta be coming relatively soon #books #the heir of redclyffe #little women #charlotte mary yonge #louisa may alcott

marty hart's cyclical return to praising family as THE thing that keeps a man grounded, stable, and happy (specifically in pointing out that rust DOESN'T have a family) even as flashbacks show him spiraling into jealous macho violence as he lies to, mistreats, and destroys his family over the course of multiple affairs (by which he deliberately steps outside of and away from his family despite his wife's best efforts to get him to reconnect and step up to be the family man he sees himself as)

vs

rust cohle's repeated excoriations of the idea of individuality and personhood and the stupid self-centeredness and entitlement that comes with saying "I, a human being, matter to the universe, and the things I do matter", an ideology he carries for years and waxes poetic on for his interviewers as late as 2012, even as he obsessively works himself to the bone to get justice and resolution for the victims he's assigned and ultimately to protect children from the powerful and dangerous people who want to brutalize them

#true detective #so what if it all goes back to Melville and Milch. every great character spins against the way he drives #I know this is the point of their characters I know other people have said it before and better #but I go through it every time and this time Marty is hitting me extra hard. bc with Rust it's basically screaming in your face #Rust says humanity (without exception) is stupid selfish and vain and we're fools to convince ourself our actions matter #he then proceeds to take a job where everything he does matters SO MUCH. and to CARE about that job deeply and obsessively #but Marty... I've really noticed this time how Maggie calls him a coward multiple times in her efforts to pull him back to his family #and she's right because he's too much of a coward to face that gaining the sainted ''family'' hasn't fixed him! #it hasn't made him stop wanting to fuck other women #it hasn't made him the household hero the perfect father and husband the savior of the women in his life #he thought it would and when it doesn't live up to the fantasy he checks out completely #and even in 2012 when his marriage has fallen apart! he still lauds marriage and family as the thing that makes a man good! #despite all the evidence in front of him that he became WORSE after becoming a husband and father. he can't let the ideal go #he has good intentions at his core but he's obsessed with the idea of being a good ol boy and a family man #he shits on Rust for being isolated because he's scared to face the idea that he-- Marty-- would have done less damage on his own #sorry for the tag novel they make me want to bite. and knock their stupid empty heads together really hard #btw this show would be 75% less effective if they had not filmed on location. big brain move thank God for the TD S1 location scouts

...no, I still disagree with you.

i've seen the argument. i've seen you and others restate that argument. multiple times. and it's still no more solid than the opposition. 🤷‍♀️

a factual point is that B has destroyed so much more than W ever has, or ever could.

otherwise. you have no right to label people as bigots for not adhering to your headcanon.

#the role that you're describing... is pretty clearly meant to be filled by... J himself. in canon. #W is an afterthought. at best. #and you can make him whatever he needs to be for your story. #but. you really are just setting yourself up for disappointment to beatify this guy who exists as scraps of scraps. #which i am fully aware is rich to say in JT fandom. #but if J is untapped potential that was meant for more before being derailed and repurposed and revisited #then the posthumous supporting cast of his backstory are less than the shadow of shapeless smoke. #BG's bio parents have more characterization than W! and they hardly exist most of the time! #the saint that you need W to be for your lovely story #isn't what others must see. #and shut the fuuuuuuuuck up for just the slightest implication people wouldn't love their abusers #abusers are some of the most beloved people on the planet #many tend to collect vulnerable lonely people desperate to love something. #we are biologically wired to love our parents. that love can overcome ridiculous amounts of absolute BS. #abused kids aren't freaks or outliers or non-entities for loving their abusers. they're normal and more common than many want to accept. #and people in poverty statistically struggle to leave shitty male-dominated households. that's fact not just stereotype. #My cowardly vague post is cowardly. #If you manage to find this post and be upset by it then congrats.

Kate O'Mara once again encounters Simon Templar, and once again has a case of the doubles; here playing 'Annabel 2', either a private secretary working for a shipping magnate, or an imposter working for an imposter... in The Saint: The Double Take (6.6, ITC, 1968)

#fave spotting #kate o'mara #the rani #classic doctor who #the saint #doctor who #classic tv #the double take #1968 #itc #character actors #having been italian and french in her previous Saint eps‚ Kate gets to be english here #and whilst she was twins last time‚ now she's just a sort of lazy double of Denise Buckley (i mean they're not dissimilar i suppose.. but #nobody could easily mistake one for the other). it's all a bit of arch plotting around a fancy pants businessman who has an apparent #doppelganger that Simon must track down before he does... villainous business? #funnily enough Kate is named first in the credits despite being Annabel 2; Annabel 1 follows her #the character names presumably related to their onscreen order of appearance and their credit position related to their relative fame #kate may not yet have been a household name but she was certainly better known than Buckley‚ who had a solid career in #genre guest spots but never quite found a breakout role nor film success like Kate did

#I’ll go first: #I was raised in a Catholic household #identified as atheist from age 16 to 25 #converted to Hellenic Paganism at 26 #(I’m 30 now lol) #I have a hypothesis that there’s more ex Catholic pagans than there are ex Protestant pagans #because there’s clear similarities between saint-worship and polytheism #but we’ll see what results we get eh?

Oh my gosh Eobard's birthday is only 6 days away from mine, I can't believe he's a Pisces lmao he gives off such Scorpio energy (maybe he's a Scorpio Moon or Rising or something? Idk)

Still an Aquarius actually :) February 18th is indeed almost Pisces and imo it would have fit since there's the whole duality of him, but I guess he's another dramatic, insane Aquarius instead lmao. Aquariuses can also be creatively cruel as fuck so why the hell not!

(Fun fact, his birthday is the same as my wife lol)

I agree that he would have fit as a Scorpio anyway. His whole deal is being a poisonous bitch to the people person he loves LMAO

And btw, happy birthday dude!

Just found out one of my housemates was not raised interfaith Jewish but is just a whole ass Catholic.

#personal #THE BETRAYAL #tbh i never asked so that's on me #here i thought this would be a Jewish household but naaahh #she out here burning saint candles #i literally don't care tho #i do ancestor practices so eh #but I'm still shook

[thebirdandhersong]

highly highly recommend meeting with your friends on a regular basis because it means you get to PLAN the stuff you want to do in advance but also you KNOW you're going to see them soon!!! and have that feeling of happy anticipation over and over again!!!

#seeing my diana this friday...........lads the level of excitement is unparalleled #i want to hear about how HER bible study is going! about how her job search has been this week! about what she thinks about #all the nonsense i've been hearing about gentle parenting (not COMPASSIONATE parenting #i mean the kind of parenting that is basically spoiling your child and absolutely getting rid of any sense of authority in the household) #about what she thought of all saints' day (because she came to mass for the first time!) #so so excited :') #slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in year 21
