the practicality of the kiki does show in the antenna and her religious foremother the spire (I was going to say buttress but she's more the sidekick type while the spire is a prima donna)

meanwhile the very modern Catholic one in my uni (Parish of the Holy Sacrifice, UP Diliman, QC) is where the practicality kinda shows when the church is more of a bouba

short, circular, like a wide inverted bowl with legs, open to the wind which is a need because of the hot humid climate 👍

why are Christian cathedrals so pointed and high like haven't you already tried stabbing God with a lance to his son on the cross

#those are only the gothic ones tho #and it's because that's the only way to build a stone structure so tall #thin and pointy #the idea is to connect with god #basically the first idea of an antenna #architecture #church

Thomas: Jesus is dead and he's decaying and he's not coming back 😭

[Thomas turns around only to find himself 1 ft before a familiar but visibly injured figure that looks like himself]

Jesus: come and touch me, Tom

Thomas: THE FUCK?!

hear me out

sore wrists and ankles (or misshapen hands and feet)

blood sweats

breathing difficulties

chronic headaches

sensitive skin

going by an idea about people's birthmarks giving a hunch of how they died in the past and then applying the logic as disabilities to a reincarnation of Jesus whose torture and execution would not stop haunting him

I was going to say something connecting Tron identity discs, Aziraphale's halo, and the chakram as a weapon (that is if halos can be weaponized as such) but such a connection is ineffable for me at the moment

people look at consent like it's a transcontinental train ride when in truth what if all you can do at the moment is just a ride between two points in a city?

and of course this movie that I actually liked because of the concept

Poster for the 2008 film The Eye. An extreme close up on a fearfully wide open brown eye gives way to four fingers of a hand clutching the lower tear and lash line, as if preparing to crawl out from underneath the eye socket.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

There's a cinematic equivalent of "this meeting could have been an email" where you get about two hours into a feature-length blockbuster and it occurs to you that this would have lost nothing meaningful if it had been a ten-minute short film on YouTube.
