Top 5 worst family reunions in video game history

Yes, you’ve read the title. This post will cover five of the worst family reunions in video game history which happens to be important plot points of their respective stories so expect spoilers (duh!). Without further ado, let’s get this mess started.

#1 The end of FFPS

Say, you are an undead nightguard seeking for redemption and ways to eliminate your murderous, rabbit fursuiting and most importantly undead nutcase of a father for good. However on your final destination there’s another contestant in the equation it’s your younger sister whose mind was twisted beyond insanity by her dear old daddy and is currently following his footsteps to become an insane, undead child killing psycho just like him. However fear not before this twisted reunion can continue any longer your current boss, who happened to be the ex-husband ex-best friend of your father set the entire place on fire. (pictured below)

Thus burning everything to the ground which put your soul and most of the souls of those tortured victims of your father to rest.

But the worst part is that, Your murderous, rabbit fur-suiting nutcase of a father is still active and is forming a cult with murderous rabbit fur-suiting cultists while taking the form of how he perceives himself while wearing his suit.(pictured below)

#2 Kamui (Siter-skain)

You are a twelve year old girl whose brain is integrated into the processing system of a powerful lightning spewing aircraft and you’ve just destroyed an entire army and a skynet rip-off so what’s next? Well on the last moment of the super computer’s destruction it sent an order to awaken your nutcase of a father who has integrated himself into a space station and is bent on destroying the world over his beloved daughter being integrated in the aforementioned fighter in the first place. And now it’s your job to put him out of his misery and save the planet from complete destruction.

#3 Resident evil Village

Due to several unforseen circumstances Ethan Winters was forcibly separated from his daughter Rose, and by the time Ethan has seen Rose again she had been KIng Solomon’d by Mother Miranda and the pieces of Rose was kept by the 4 lords until Mother Miranda is done preparing her ritual. After offing the 4 lords and collecting the Rose pieces Ethan was struck down by Mother Miranda, leaving her to perform her ritual unimpeded, but due to Ethan’s intervention and the mega-mycete rejecting her plans never came to pass and it was Rose instead of Eva who has been resurrected. After Miranda’s defeat Ethan has successfully reunited with Rose, but only for a while as his body is starting to break down and calcify. (pictured below)

In the end Rose was given to Chris as Ethan detonates the bomb on the Mega-mycete terminating himself and Miranda in the explosion.

#4 Devil May cry3

This is another entry from Capcom. Ever since they were Eight half demon twins Dante and Vergil were separated from each other on the day of their Mother’s death, Dante followed the humanity while Vergil followed demons in the pursuit of gaining power. And the pair of twins have finally met each other again not as brothers but as enemies as Vergil intended to open the gates to the demon world and demons to overrun the human world. And as a demon slayer devil hunter Dante do not approve of this decided to fight his crazy older twin brother, and they fought against each other three times in this game, with the first time ending with Dante being impaled by his own sword and being left to die, the second time ended with both brothers dealing significant damage to each other and then getting their asses kicked by a human who is interested in getting demonic power and the third time ended with Vergil falling off a cliff and into the abyss. But then again their story will still continue on an island somewhere,,,

#5 mother 3

This story follows another pair of twins, Meet Claus and Lucas, one of the unluckiest pair of twins in video game history.(pictured below)

Their story starts with them living happily with their parents in Tazmily village of the nowhere islands. But every thing changed... ... when the Pig-mask army attacked. On the first few days of the army’s invasion Hinawa (who is the twin’s mother by the way) was tragically killed by a chimera, sacrificing her life so her kids can escape. A few days after Hinawa’s death Claus left the village to hunt down the chimera that killed his mom, however Claus strength is no match to the chimera as he is just a mere insect compared to the strong chimera. Claus was defeated and his body was taken by the aforementioned Pig-mask army to be remade as a cyborg that serve the marvelous king of swine. Three years Later, Lucas embarked on his own adventure to disable the thunder tower and (massive spoilers) pull the needles out to awaken the Dark Dragon from its slumber. And as if it’s Made in Heaven Lucas final opponent was his brother who is brainwashed so much that perceives Lucas as an enemy to eliminate.

Lucas is unable to bring himself to fight the masked man (Claus) and if not for Hinawa’s ghost intervening the “fight” Lucas could’ve been destroyed. And when Claus finally regained control over his body the first action he took is to fire an intense bolt of lightning at Lucas’s badge which reflected back at Claus severely damaging his circuitry and systems in the process and killing him afterwards.

In the end, filled with grief and determination Lucas pulled the final needle terminating the world.

230 Years of Fear Mongering: there’s nothing new under the sun

So I was planning to post this blog with pictures and no words, but us usual, I couldn’t restrain my words from spilling out. These pictures come from a recent lesson I taught on Climate Change. The articles speak for themselves. Here we see that the NAVY (so we have to believe them) predicted we would be “ice free” by 2016....

But wait!!! Back in 1978 ( I was still in college and gullible enough to believe everything I read in the newspaper) we were warned that the present cooling trend had “no end in sight!” Hmm...

Ah, I remember those cool days... 25 foot snow drifts on Evan’s curve... slapping on the boards in November for my first ski of the season... We thought those days would never end. In fact we feared that one day we would have no summer at all!

Fast forward a decade...now it’s the seas...they are a rising...oh what to do?

Alas, our children may never know what snow is!!!!

Oh my, in 2014 we were led to believe we had 500 days to avoid “climate chaos.”

Oh remember this one from back in the days of Earth Day celebrations? Making posters, “SAVE THE TREES!” We had no idea what was fact and what was fiction...we just obediently followed our teacher’s instructions. Was this when the Malthusian idea of over population re-rooted itself into the American (and world) psyche? In 1967, we feared that overpopulation would cause us all to be exterminated in a “cloud of blue steam” by 1987!!! Not surprisingly, we passed Roe v. Wade 6 years later and now some 60 million lives have been systematically eliminated, and all their offspring and intellectual potential flushed down the toilet. But who knows, proponents say it may have saved us from world extinction as a species! I don’t know about you, but being a history teacher, it sort of reminds me of the Mayans and the followers of Mollech, sacrificing the weakest or their populations, for societal favor with the gods...or the Spartans, leaving their unwanted babies on the hillside to starve, so as not to “weaken” the general populace.

This man has made millions from the global crisis agenda, and stands to make millions more, from the company he’s highly invested in, the company that makes those smart meters...the ones our power companies have been requiring us to use...the meters that will allow outside forces to “meter” your use of power...tell you how warm or cool you can keep your house and maybe even WHEN you will be allowed to have power in the future. Hmm...who’s going to make those decisions?

Oh, and if a member of the British Royal family says it, it must be true.

Oh, I forgot, while we were worrying about rising sea levels, overpopulation, ice disappearing or earth getting too cold, and pollution destroying the sea, we had to add another worry: THERE’S A HOLE IN OUR OZONE!!! Wait, what? This sounds bad, REALLY bad!

So glad this one didn’t come true, since my daughter lives there! And if this had happened, I could say goodbye to my dream of seeing “Hamilton” at a NYC theater some day.

And who knew it was “already too late to avoid a long period of famine” back in 1967. I’m pretty sure the obesity epidemic in our country today is making Paul Erlich feel pretty dumb.

Um...no words.

Don’t get me started on government agencies, and how me MUST trust their take on everything, because they would NEVER lie to us,...right? (Gulf of Tonkin, JFK, Martin Luther King, 9-11, Anthrax attacks)

People have been fear mongering on the basis of overpopulation, since the 1700′s when Thomas Malthus first voiced this fear in his doomsday theory that alluded to the idea that overpopulation would always result in famine and death. He surmised that the world had a limited capacity and that as populations rose; poverty, famine and death would increase to correct for overpopulation. In the natural world, this theory works pretty well. The polar bear population will only grow in relation to the supply of seals, if there are too many bears per seals, bears will starve and die. It works pretty well in most natural settings. The problem is, human beings are not animals. We hare beings created in the image of God with intellect and imagination and a natural curiosity to figure out how the world works. What Malthus never anticipated was the application of science (human intellect figuring out how stuff works) to industry: technology. He never saw the industrial revolution coming. The minds of mankind, set free to explore and experiment, have been able to solve the problems of poverty and famine in unique and various ways. If it weren’t for our bigger problem, sin and corruption, there would not be any hunger left in our world. But sadly, governments are still involved in Malthusian like attempts to contain the populace and control it. In the name of that Malthusian thinking, 3-4 million Irish were left to starve to death during the Irish Potato Famine, with the rationale being that the Irish had over-populated and the famine was just a natural consequence of that over population. This, of course, was ridiculous and very sad. Of course, that could never happen in our modern world, right? Well don’t be so sure. Look over the fear mongering that has been taking place in our country for the last 60 years... What has been the result? We turned a blind eye when Roe vs. Wade legalized the slaughter of innocent babies (you know in the back of most minds was the idea that at least we wouldn’t be overpopulating our world with a lot of unwanted babies) ...and now we are actually debating whether or not a mother can kill her baby after it is born, if she decides she doesn’t want it. And on the other end, we have totally bought in to the right to die movement. Just wait until we’ve gotten used to that, we’ll be debating if we still have the right to live if the government doesn’t think our life is viable, or useful.... Planned Parenthood has been selling fetal tissue, organs and whole baby’s bodies like they are fetal pigs being used for a high school lab experiment and no one cares. Is it no surprise we have politicians calling for climate “denial” to be a crime, comparing these people to the “flat earthers” of the Middle Ages. They have even worse fates for anti-vaxers, they propose that they should be denied healthcare, education, and even the right to raise their own children as they see fit. This is the mentality of the left leaning, Fabian socialist progressives, who would sell out our country in the name of saving the earth from a climate change disaster!!!.

Little things can become so much bigger than you could possibly anticipate. What’s wrong with a Climate Accord limiting the amount of fossil fuel we use...its for the earth!!! Here’s whats wrong with it and here’s why it is one of the most dangerous movements in our world today. As soon as we sign our national sovereignty over to an un-elected board of bureaucrats, giving them the right to decide for us how much energy we should produce and use, we’ve signed on to something that fundamentally changes our world. Nations become second to a world organization, controlled not by duly elected individuals committed to rule of law and justice for all, but to leaders who will have no accountability to the people whatsoever. If you think our politicians are corrupt and ignoring the rule of law now, under a system that was designed to check their power...just wait till that system is thrown out the window and we hand our sovereignty over to the likes of a Paris Climate Accord. Trump is right to withdraw. I’m sure Europe had no idea they were signing over their “nationhood” and national sovereignty when they made the seemingly sensible economic decision to join the European Union. It all seemed so logical, until they began to reap the effects of an un-elected band of globalist elites manipulating currency and making decisions that improved the bottomline of the Euro, while absolutely decimating countries like Italy and Germany, not to mention the UK who has been trying to BREXIT for nearly 4 years now!! Be careful who you bed down with...as my grandmother used to say, you may get up with fleas... or worse yet, you may never get up at all. Western Europe’s borders are practically non-existent, and their cities are overrun with migrants, homeless, criminals, and worse. Europe, as we know it, has been fundamentally changed and may not recover. Unless you want that kind of fundamental change here, you better think twice about buying in to any “accords” that propose to control our economy or anything else. America is the greatest experiment in liberty that history has ever known, and it will never fail from without, just as Lincoln said. It will fail because its people made little compromises with their freedom in exchange for safety or out of fear.

The Wheeler twins p2

note : so my newfound friend @ashlynstyles1 inspired me to actually write another one of those . She's really cool go follow her fam. So yea ? Here goes nothing !

part 1, part 3

-------------------

- And so the saga continues

- So you know how in season two of stranger things we had Karen take polaroids of Mike and he was like not amused™? Well guess what ? Richie 100% took all of those polaroids from his mother and hung them up on a wall with very inappropriate writings all over them . So yes the first thing Mike Wheeler saw when he woke up on the 1st of January was his face with dicks drawn all over it .

- If this was set in modern times we all know that Richie would be the meme king™ but like Mike as a fucking cosplayer ? ????Like you feel me ?

- They did parents trap for one of the halloweens .

- Like they both dressed up as Lindsey Lohan.

- Top notch content right there boys .

- When both turn 16 only Mike ( unsurprisingly ) passes his drivers test but hey they're twins so you gotta exploit it right ?

- Wrong Richie

- But nonetheless Richie has driven the car with his brother's licence like a gazzilion times

- And made out with Eddie in the back seat the same amount

- Eleven and Richie actually LOVE collaging . Like is their thing . They both get together and sit quiet ( I KNOW , NOBODY KNOWS HOW EL GOT RICHIE TO SHUT UP BUT IT WORKED THANK THE LORD )

- So Richie and El make little cute collages together and their boys just stand there admiring from afar

- Both are like crying in the club tbh

- Back to the twins

- So you think only sisters steal each other's clothes ? Well YoU'Re WrOnG !

- Richie and Mike always fight over clothing . So it's like " Whete the hell is my sweater Rich ? " " Oh I wore it to our date with Eds " " and where is it ?" " With eds "

- Cue screaming and Nancy telling them to stfu like 24/7

- In return Mike always takes Richie's glasses and hides them in the house and the thing is Richie can't just go and find them . Cause he's fucking blind . But he's too stubborn so the boy just runs into lamp posts for like 3 days until Nancy points them out to be on Richie's bedside table and he's shook .

- Holly and the boys have tea parities . Both deny it but they fucking love those parties . Sometimes they get so into it , Holly is like alright gotta go and they just spend like another hour having a royal wedding between two stuffed bears .

- Bill and Mike are actually really good friends and so are Richie and Will . Bill and Mike are both some sort of leaders of their respective groups plus they both love the same comics and Star Wars .

- Richie and Will might seem like a weird combination to you at first and ye they're not really alike but they both care so deeply for their friends and are willing to do anything . Plus they're both in drama club .

- Oh yeeess the drama club .

- Richie is the star as I've said before but like now he's actually getting popular ???? Mike is like bitch how ? He just tells everybody he's the smarter twin .

- " you know I got the brains , the looks , he needs some kind of validation "

- He's really proud of his bro tho

- Same goes for Richie

- When the party won some kind of science fair , Richie would go like " See that genius ? We came out of the same v-"

- Richie polishes Mike's trophies for him when he feels down

- Eddie and Mike love going out for ice cream . They always get the weirdest flavours and it's great but neither El or Richie gets them . Like ew why would you wanna try " bacon flavoured ice cream ?"

- Snow ball comes around and Richie is sad af cause he wands to dance with Eddie but homephobic pigs will come at them

- Mike is like not having any of that shit

- So he makes sure his bro looks like a queen

- He calls Bev and she gets reddie( sorry I couldn't resist ) with Eddie .

- When the slow song comes on . They're hesitant but then Mike gives Richie the encouraging look and Richie is like fuck it .

- They do get frowns but El quietly whispers a " I'm gonna kill em all of they say anything " and Mike just smiles cause he would do the same

- A match made in heaven

- Same thing is when El is called weird and she gets upset the " El protection squad " consisting of Richie and Eddie as head members steps in and makes you regret you were born .

- At Christmas both the party and the losers all come together and are like a huge family it's adorable

- When they go their separate ways Richie and Mike call each other everyday . But they don't want the other to know that they miss them so they would say shit like " hey dipshit , I think you got my socks instead of yours"

- And the other knows the truth and feels warm cause they're loved

- Fast forward when Eddie and Richie adopt a kid, uncle Mike is the one who introduced them to all kinds of cool nerd stuff

- When Mike and El have a kid , Richie is like banned from interaction

- Cause every time Richie babysat , their 5 year old would come running to their dad screaming " hey fuckerssss"

- El laughed , mike was appalled

- It's cool cause Richie is the cool uncle

- And Eddie is the wine aunt

- Life is great , it didn't come back . Demogorgons stayed in the upside down . All was well .

#reddie #mileven #stanger things #stanger things season 2 #richie tozier #the losers club #eddie kaspbrak #will byers #bev marsh #beverly marsh #eleven #jane hopper #bill denbrough #it movie 2017 #it the movie #nancy wheeler #not my gif

sun and neptune will fight adam taurus together and kill him with possibly yangs help

sun wukong is themed/inspired by sun wukong from journey of the west and an antagonist in story who sun wukong fought is the bull demon king while neptunes inspiration/theme is the roman god of the seas but he will also reference/represent zhu bajie

on neptune vasilas His last name “Vasilias” is a derivative for king in Greek, giving him an obvious connection to the God of the Seas. However, it also gives him a connection to a Journey to the West character, too. King Neptune was a famous World War 2 US Navy mascot, a pig that managed to raise millions for the war effort and was buried with full military honours when it died. The Monkey King’s pig-themed companion, Zhu Bajie, shared Neptune’s habit of hitting on every woman he met. He was also formerly Tiānpéng Yuánshuài, the Heavenly Naval commander( commander-in-chief of 80,000 Heavenly Navy Soldiers.) who was cursed to become Zhu Bajie for his inappropriate feelings for a moon goddess.

Bull Demon King (牛魔王) is a demon king based in Sky Scraping Cave (摩雲洞) on Accumulated Thunder Mountain (積雷山). In the early chapters of the novel, he becomes sworn brothers with Sun Wukong and five other demon kings. He is ranked the most senior of the seven, and styles himself “Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven” (平天大聖). He marries Princess Iron Fan and has a son, Red Boy, with her. He appears again in a later chapter when the protagonists arrive at the Flaming Mountains along their journey. Sun Wukong disguises himself as Bull Demon King to deceive Princess Iron Fan and takes away her Banana Leaf Fan. The real Bull Demon King visits Princess Iron Fan, who then realises she has been tricked. Bull Demon King disguises himself as Zhu Bajie to trick Sun Wukong and retrieves the fan. In the ensuing fight against Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, Bull Demon King reveals his true form, a giant white bull, and attempts to charge towards his opponents. Nezha shows up, captures Bull Demon King, and brings him to Heaven to let the Jade Emperor decide his fate.”

(maybe yang will help in the defeat of adam since nezzha was known for going on aa fit of anger before a certain event and yang has shown that she had a temper and nezha “His mother then secretly built a temple for Nezha and this temple later flourished. This temple became very well known and grew vastly because Nezha granted miracle cures to the sick and the crippled. However, Li Jing soon found out about this temple and burnt it down because he was still angry at Nezha and felt that he had already caused too much trouble for their family.Li Jing burning the temple caused Nezha to desire his father’s death. Thus, enmity between father and son grew. Nezha was later brought back to life by his teacher, Taiyi Zhenren, who used lotus roots to construct a human body for his soul and gave him two new weapons: the Wind Fire Wheels (風火輪) and the Fire-tipped Spear (火尖槍). With the reincarnation of Nezha by his master, Li Jing and Nezha fought many battles. However, Li Jing soon realized that his mortal body was no match for Nezha and so he ran for his life. On the run, he met his second son, Muzha, who fought and was defeated by Nezha. At this, Li Jing tried to commit suicide but was saved by Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun, who also contained Nezha. In the end, Nezha was forced to submit to his father by another deity, Randeng Daoren.Nezha is often depicted as a youth, instead of an adult. He is often shown flying in the sky riding on the Wind Fire Wheels (風火輪), has the Universe Ring (乾坤圈) around his body (sometimes in his left hand), the Red Armillary Sash (浑天绫) around his shoulders and a Fire-tipped Spear (火尖槍) in his right hand. Sometimes, he is shown in his “three heads and six arms” form (三頭六臂). “

Nezha’s colors are green, yellow/gold highlights, and pink/purple

and yang has purple eyes and her color motif is yellow

and nezha ended up going on a fit of rage against his father so he hd been known for his anger and yang had a temper where she caused a good amount of property damage and is associated with fire and nezha took bull demon king to face judgement at jade emperors (gods) hands by capturing him so either ren could take adam to prison to face judgement or yang would assist in the fight as a 3 v 1 . or yang wouldnt appear in the fight but adam will still die at sun or neptunes hands to cause him to face gods judgement

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Journey_to_the_West_characters#Bull_Demon_King.2C_Princess_Iron_Fan_and_associates

I think this fight between sun wukong and zhu bajie will be referenced with sun and neptune vs. adam taurus (who is a bull faunus his last name taurus means bull and when he activates his power his masks visors glow red ( nad it would fit for adams semblence to represent the bull demon kings true form since when the bull demon king activates his true form he glows)and adam has some of the aspects in common with what we would imagine a demon king to be like a powerful, dangerous, maniacal, cruel, coldhearted, manipulative, individual with a plethora of individuals on his command so it would fit for him to be placed in the role of bull demon king (antagonist) and would fight sun and neptune and after their fight adam will be defeated and captured or defeated and killed by them in the fight where after adam after his aura is broken trys to make an attack on someone lets say someone who is unconscious and they act resulting in his death

and it would be fitting since adam had hurt blake (suns love interest , the girl he likes plus sun already had a a distaste for the white fang and adam is a high ranking member of the white fang who also hurt blake

suns thoughts on the whites fang : “Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!“

so adam will be taken down by a faunus who hates the white fang and his human best friend ( we could see neptunes semblance and if he hasnt activated his semblance yet he will before or during the fight coming into contact with sea water

https://rwby-fan-theories.tumblr.com/post/151482055779/neptuines-semblance-is-activated-when-he-comes#notes

neptunes inspiration is the roman god of the sea so it would be fitting for his powers to activate when he comes into contact and ttouches or submerged in sea water like how nora whose inspiration is thor gains power through electricity. and its possible neptune never been near the ocean/sea and was afraid of touching it due to the aquatic grimm annd will end up falling into sea water which he activates his semblance which is versatile

edit: (

https://rwby-fan-theories.tumblr.com/post/151984046729/more-on-neptunes-semblance-being-activated-when-he#notes

while neptunes inspiration is roman god neptune he also references zhu bajie son wukongs companion

zhu bajie once commanded the heavenly rivers and in the journey of the west son wukong couldnt fight in the water while zhu bajie could for he was at ease at deep waters

Sun Wukong’s abilities . Though he is by far the stronger than, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing arehe is still more effective water combatants than he is

so this could be referenced with neptunes semblance activating when he falls in sea water when its the form of a big body of it) (and he could possibly be inspired for it after seeing blake being worried about adam taking out everyone she loves and could decide to go after adam in order to quench her fears

and given how it was revealed that blakes dad was the leader of the white fang and cheiftain of menagerie blakes technically a princess

https://rwby-fan-theories.tumblr.com/post/154337758428/upcoming-sun-vs-adam-fight

“ Bull Demon King”. Like Adam, BDK is an extremely powerful opponent who often defeats those in his way with one big blow, is obviously based off a bull; and is often depicted as having a black, red, and white color scheme. If Adam was solely based of “The Beast” from fairy tales, it would make more sense for him to be depicted as a boar or lion-faunus as those are the types of animals “The Beast” was traditionally depicted as resembling, not a bull. Maybe it and Adam’s color scheme are a hint that Journey to the West played an influence on him?

some people might say that yang has to help in order to get closure by beating adam but what if she doesnt get involved in th e fight and say adam dies without yang ever being able to face him again anda get closure through their so she will have to get closure through a different method and deal with it without ( not saying it will happen just something I thought of)

Pontius Pilate...........Words of profound truth

When we think of Pontius Pilate, we think of the Governor of Jerusalem. The man who condemned Jesus to be crucified. The man who infamously washed his hands, to make a public show he was not guilty of condemning Jesus to death. But to me, Pontius…. you know, I am NOT spelling that word throughout this! I’ll keep spelling it wrong! So I’m going to call him PP, ok?

As I was saying, to me, PP said one of the most profound truths I have ever heard. In fact the ONLY truth we must answer. And based on that answer will depend whether we choose heaven or hell. If you want to know why I use the word ‘choose’ heaven or hell, please read my blog post ‘On the subject of hell’ BEFORE you judge me! Oops, it ain’t live yet! It’s posted in about three weeks time! You is going to have to wait.......sorry.....😂

I first began to realise this when a friend scoffed at those words. Declaring PP an arrogant bastard. And it got me thinking. Was he? No. I don’t think he was. PP was a man of the world. A world of sycophants and lies. A sycophant is just somebody who licks arse, basically, to get on the right side of the person they are doing it too. To get what THEY want out of it. He was known for his brutality. In fact, he was so brutal, it eventually caused embarrassment to Rome, and he was ordered to have a ‘pink bath’ In those days, you were given the honour of killing your self, or were killed anyway! A pink bath was the way many chose. They went into their bath and slit their wrists and died. Thus making the water, ‘pink.’ PP did this, sadly.

Though I have often wondered and hope, actually, that he will be in heaven. Because I think, deep down PP KNEW, Jesus was he son of God. Although he did not understand this. Jesus had a profound effect on PP. so much so, he tried his hardest to prevent Him from being killed. It was actually the Jewish authorities, who blackmailed him, by threatening he was guilty of treason to Caesar, if he refused to crucify Him. So he gave in.

So what did he say that is SO important? That could be perceived as arrogance, but actually wasn’t? Before I say what it was, we MUST understand how lies, betrayal and brutality was part of everyday Rome. It was everyman for himself. If Caesar said, you were a literally, blue donkey, then that was what you were. If he declared every cloud was actually a pig, that is what you had to believe! If he then changed his mind, and you were not quick enough to catch up, you were in deep trouble. Pink bath time, or worse. The arena. So Rome was corrupt to the core. Truth was elusive and apparently could be changed, by the words of one man. Who was crazy. Caesar. So truth was not only a dirty word, it was a word that would mean punishment and death, and was used, twisted and perverted for the gaining of money, ambition and power.

PP asked Jesus who He was. And that He had been told, Jesus was accused, of falsely testifying He was a king. Jesus said ‘For this reason I was born into the world, to show the truth.’

And this is IT:

PP replied ‘WHAT IS TRUTH?’ (John 18 v 35-38)

WHAT an AMAZING question!

How deep does that go? Every single person on this planet that ever is or will be will have to decide that answer. And depending on their belief and choice, will depend where they spend eternity. I cannot stress how important that question was! Did PP realise, at the moment of his death what the answer was? Did he die in bitterness and hate, or in TRUTH? You see, he KNEW that even his wife had been given a dream, warning him not to have anything to do with Jesus. She tried to tell him. But he did not, or could not, listen and take heed. ( Matthew 27 v 19) she actually stated, that she had been troubled ‘GREATLY’ but more, her words were, ‘Do not have anything to do with that INNOCENT man!’

Was God trying to help PP make a better choice? What would have happened if PP had REFUSED to condemn Jesus? What if he had chosen to BELIEVE in Him? We will never know. But history would have been re written. And PP would have been infamous in a totally different way.

Even more! PP went back to question Jesus, a second time, he asked Him, ‘Where did you come from?’ Jesus didn’t answer. So PP moved it up a notch to force the issue. ‘Don’t you know I have the power to set you free or have you crucified.’ Jesus said, ‘You would not have power over me, if God had not given it to you, so the man who handed me over to you, is guilty of a worse sin’ (John 19v 10)

Was Jesus actually telling PP that he was not all to blame? To give him a chance to say sorry? Why say such a thing? I think Jesus knew the weight of sin PP had. And how he would give in, to condemn Jesus to save his own skin. So that PP would one day be able to make a choice. And by not being made to feel so guilty would help him make that choice. In a world where guilt meant death. What choice? WHAT IS TRUTH? The words bring hairs up on the back of my neck.

The Pharisees did not know truth. They thought they did. They studied the laws everyday. Everyday. They knew them inside out. Yet although they knew the law, they did not know truth! Why? Because as I have said before, I think in my post ‘Bartemaus,’ they looked only at the surface of the law and no deeper. They only understood the letter of the law. What is that? It’s legalism. On the sabbath, the law said you should not do anything. But because Moses law said a boy must be circumcised at 13 days old, they would do this on a Sabbath, if that was the 13th day. But they hated and condemned Jesus for HEALING a man ON the sabbath. Which is more important? Life or law? Jewish people knew life is everything. Even the foreigner was to be protected, if they observed certain things. Like not worshipping other gods, (Leviticus 19 v34, Exodus 22 v21, Deuteronomy 7 v 3-4, 1 Kings 11 v 2)

But more! They were hypocrites! Because they justified law to themselves, but would not allow anyone else! So when Jesus made a man walk, and another see, on a Sabbath, they were incensed! They would not see He was God, because they thought He had broken the law. Jesus tried to tell them what was more important, but they would not listen. He did miracles after miracles, but they only saw He broke the law by the day He did some on! They only studied outwardly. They wanted to look good. But their hearts were full of deceit and judgment. They condemned a person to suffer, just because it was the wrong day of the week!

The scriptures, (Hosea 6v6, Micah 6v8) clearly showed them, the heart of the law is MERCY. Isaiah 1 v 11-14, warned them that the Lord did NOT want their burnt offerings. He had had enough of them! Hosea told the people of Israel, what the Lord told him, ‘I don’t want your sacrifices, I want you to be merciful and to Know God. That is more important than sacrifice.’

Why? Because sacrifice means nothing, without love! And the Jews did the sacrifice, but forgot or ignored what was more important! They would use a law to deprive somebody else of something! (Matthew 15v5) they stated that money that should have been used to look after and bless their parents, had been ‘devoted to God!’ How convenient! Considering the Old Testament states to honour your father and mother! So they twisted TRUTH to suit themselves! They were no better than the Romans, but they didn’t even see it! Jesus tried to tell them what was important to God! ‘Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, mind and soul. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE IT, love your neighbour as yourself!’ They did not love their neighbour. They only loved themselves.

God made it clear, the heart of the law is MERCY. That He desired a contrite heart. He told the Pharisees what God wanted! (Matthew 25 v 7) ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ But they did not want to listen. Because it did not fit their TRUTH. They wanted to be admired and looked up too, not serve! But BE served! And that was the problem. Their heart was wrong. And it made them blind to the truth.

They obeyed what suited them and neglected the rest! (Matthew 23 v 23) they neglected justice, mercy and faithfulness. The more important things, to God. Because they did not want to do that bit. So people went hungry and they paid no heed. Beggars suffered. They walked by and showed no generosity. They gave to those who paid. The widows mite shows this. She was of no significance to them. Her penny was worthless to them. But they gave pomp when they brought chests of gold! They used trumpets to announce it! And yet God saw both hearts! They gave so people would gasp at their generosity and were puffed out with their own pride. She was a BEGGAR. But she gave all she had. (Luke 21 v 1-4) they gave KNOWING they had so much more! She gave having nothing more, but TRUSTING God would look after her! They looked after themselves! So they did not trust God but money. They neglected truth for rules.

The Torah pointed the way to Jesus. But the words, to them, were dusty and dead. Just written on parchment. God had made it clear, He wanted the law to be written on a persons HEART, because then it is ALIVE and ACTIVE. (Jeremiah 31 v 33) they read this. They knew God promised it! But they didn’t even recognise Jesus, when He came to do it! The woman who committed adultery, they wanted to stone. Jesus said ‘Let the one who has committed no sin, throw the first stone!’ He was trying to show them, yes, the sin was wrong, but the heart of the law is MERCY. But they preferred the stones.

He tried to show them, that they too, had sin, in their hearts. They done things wrong themselves. And you know what? They condemned themselves. Why? Because they WALKED AWAY, and acknowledged they could not throw a stone, as they too were guilty of sin! ( John 8 v 1-11) Notice the old went first! The young are more susceptible to doing a thing, because they are more fiery and in the moment. The older KNEW more, because they had lived longer! They knew the weight of their own guilt.

They judged by external standards, not true standards. A boy could be circumcised on the Sabbath, but a blind man could not be healed! How sick and deprived! And they read, every day, Hosea 6v6! And Micah 6 v 8! How could they not see this TRUTH! That it’s about relationship! God is on the side of the weak! The side of the poor, the side of the broken. The heart of the law is Mercy! Rome was on the side of the strong. PP knew this and blindly accepted it. The truth he knew was wobbly and shifting. But he met face to face with THE truth, and it made him question what truth was! PP wrote on the cross of Christ, ‘King of the Jews’ the Jewish authorities tried to get him to change it to ‘He claimed he was king of the Jews,’ small k…But PP refused. Why did he do that? Why did he, a sinful, cruel, barbaric man, write the TRUTH, and refuse to put anything else? Maybe, because looking into Jesus eyes, he saw that TRUTH was a real possibility, for the first time in his life. And maybe, just maybe, that answered his question, ‘What is truth?’ Maybe, he finally saw the TRUTH was God and Man, as Divinity, not rules and regulations.

That is where we all must get too. Jesus is the WORD! And His WORD IS TRUTH! LIVING, BREATHING WORD, (John 14v6) not words on a page! But the word of God, AS HE IS HIMSELF! And THAT is TRUTH. The laws written are laws. They are subject to CHANGE. God told us, He IS CONSTANT and He NEVER changes! (Malachi 3v6) the truth IS our God! God had tried to tell the Jews for centuries He wanted not sacrifice, but RELATIONSHIP! (Hosea 6v6, Matt 11 v 28-30, John 1 v 12,Isaiah 7v10-16, Leviticus 26 v 12) yes, we need the bible, as the WRITTEN Word of God, but to interpret it we need the WORD Himself!

Because HE makes it living and breathing, as He IS the WHOLE WORD of God, Himself! It is not WHAT is truth, but WHO! And that is what the Pharisees got so wrong! They were so used to the word, and had so MISUSED it, that when they saw THE word, they did not know who HE was! (Matthew 23 v 2-7, John 7 v 47-49, John 1 v 10-11) Jesus said, ‘The truth will set you free.’ The Pharisees were slaves to law. PP was a slave to the fear and might of Rome. But it seems to me that Pontius Pilate was nearer to the truth, than the Pharisees could ever be.

Happy 70th Birthday Stephen King: The 10 Best Horror Adaptations

New Post has been published on https://nofspodcast.com/happy-70th-stephen-king-heres-10-best/

Happy 70th Birthday Stephen King: The 10 Best Horror Adaptations

Today our father who art in horror Stephen King turns 70! And I for one thank Maturin, that great big turtle in the sky, every single day that Stephen was born. Just ask yourself “Where would we be without him?” In fact, what would horror be without him?

Stephen King was born in 1947 in Portland Maine. He sold his first professional short story “The Glass Floor” In 1967 while working in an industrial laundry. In 1971, King started teaching high school English, while at nights he continued to write short stories and work on his novels. In 1974 Doubleday published Carrie. The resulting income allowed him to leave his teaching job to write full-time. Over the next 40 plus years King went on to shape the horror landscape by releasing many genre defining novels including The Shining, Cujo, IT, Salem’s Lot and many more. King has amassed sales of over 350 million books to date, and thankfully isn’t showing any signs of slowing down.

Stephen King is also responsible for some of the most horrifying and nightmare inducing movies ever made. Many of his novels have been adapted into some truly iconic and recognisable horror movies in modern cinema; The Shining, It, Carrie, Christine, and countless others. To celebrate his birthday, a sacred day on my horror calendar, lets countdown my our 10 Stephen King horror movie adaptations.

Selection Criteria

a) Only Horror Movies: – I will only be selecting Stephen’s scary sh*t, so there will be no Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption or Stand By Me. We’re a horror site.

b) The rankings are mine, and are based on how much I liked the film- Not the scope of the cinematography or the maturity of the score blah blah bah. My list. My criteria.

c) I have only ranked movies I have seen. For all I know, Children of the Corn V: Fields of Terror could be the greatest movie ever based within the King-verse, but I haven’t seen it so it’s not on the list!

And without further ado, The List!

10 – Carrie (1976)

Hi Carrie, rough night?

Carrie White is a shy and sheltered girl, who after a particularly cruel prank unleashes her deadly telekinetic powers to get vengeance at her high school prom.

Let’s face it. This film is bleak. Sissy Spacek plays awkward so well that you grimace at her every interaction. Add to this the fact that she has clearly been systematically domineered and abused by her religious mother whom I’m pretty sure is the most evil character since Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. In fact the most uplifting moment in Carrie is when Mrs. White gets graphically and ironically killed; impaled on her own symbolism.

Anyway, Carrie kills everyone and lives happily ever after or something.

For me this film boils down to three scenes ranked by how much they terrified me as an 8-year-old boy.

3. The prom scene = mildly freaking out.

2. The hand out of the grave scene = big jump scare made me close my little eyes.

1. The pig murder scene = didn’t sleep for a week. Every time I closed my eyes i heard that poor piggy crying.

9 – Secret Window (2004)

Wait, what?

Uh oh, early controversy! This probably won’t be a popular choice, but I loved this movie, and remember: My criteria.

Secret window is a psychological thriller about an author named Mort. Recently divorced, he moves to his upstate New York cabin to work on his writing. While there he meets John Shooter, who accuses him of plagiarism and proceeds to torment him seeking justice.

Johnny Depp and John Turturro are easily two of my favourite actors named John. I will eat anything these two dish up and probably ask for more. Their chemistry really carries this film and Turturro’s accent is just plain fun. The mystery aspect of this movie however is the weak point and by the time the twist is revealed, you’ve probably already guessed it. But the way it’s handled is so entertaining that I didn’t begrudge it at all.

8 – The Dead Zone (1983)

Whoa Chris, Your sex is on fire!

5 years after a car accident leaves him in a coma, Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken) discovers he has the ability to see people’s secrets through any physical contact. With some deeply unsettling visualizations of his premonitions, we follow Johnny as he attempts to navigate his “Dead Zone” and prevent the untimely deaths of those around him.

If you need more incentive? (ahem, CHRISTOPHER WALKEN) it is also directed by David ‘freaking’ Cronenberg! Don’t even bother with the rest of this list, if you haven’t seen The Dead Zone. Cancel your plans for the evening and watch it now.

7 – 1408 (2007)

Should’ve got the suite upgrade.

*This movie has two endings and while both versions are good, I only have eyes for the darker ending.

Mike Enslin (John Cusack), a paranormal debunker decides to stay in the Dolphin Hotel’s infamous room 1408. Not long after checking in Mike learns that the stories surrounding room 1408 may not be as embellished as he first believed.

SPOILER ALERT! this hotel room is really f**king haunted! After he ignores the hotel manager’s (Samuel L Jackson) extremely convincing and rational speech, it doesn’t take Mike very long to realize his monumental error. This movie is tense and unnerving from start to finish.

6 – Christine (1983)

Dope ride bro!

A nerdy teenager (Arnie) buys a vintage car (Christine) that has supernatural abilities and a sinister, violent nature. As Arnie’s obsession with Christine develops, his friends notice that the car’s not so pleasant nature is starting to influence its owner.

John Carpenter directs a movie about a kick ass red car, that actually seems possessed by a demon, but don’t let this seemingly campy premise put you off. This movie is awesome as Christine is evil. The badass Red Plymouth Fury owns every scene it’s in with its larger than life presence, deep rumbling voice and inherent menace.

5 – Pet Sematary (1989)

I’m never making waffles again.

Behind a family home, in Maine, there is an old cemetery that holds the secret to life and death. When Tragedy strikes the Creed family, the lure of this power becomes too tempting to ignore.

Pet Sematary (spelt wrong on purpose) is a movie about a family who move into a new house that’s on a surprising busy road. Soon after they lose their small child in a tragic accident. Louis (Dale Mikiff) learns of the old pet cemetery and it’s apparent ability to bring the dead back to life (yay!) but they also seem to come back a little evil (boo!). This movie is full of fantastic nightmare fuel. I still cringe every time I think of sweet little, creepy AF child, slicing open poor old Jud’s Achilles tendon.

4 – IT (2017)

So much happiness in one place…

The newest film on the list, and it was only through sheer force of will it wasn’t number 1. For those of you who live under a rock, IT is about a group of kids called ‘The Losers Club’ who are taunted by a monster in the form of an extremely disturbing turn-of-the-century era clown.

This movie is so much fun. Sure, its full of terror. Sure, I haven’t slept in a week. But, it captures the innocence and humour of being a kid so perfectly, it almost made me wish I grew up in Derry….except, of course- for the evil clown trying to eat everyone.

3 – The Mist (2007)

Oh God, no!

You guessed it- This one is about a strange Mist that descends on a small town (probably in, Oh I don’t know- Maine). Along with the unexplained weather pattern come terrible monsters that pick off the town folk one-by-one. No one knows where it came from or how to get rid of it.

We spend the majority of this film in a grocery store, where the monsters outside are not necessarily the biggest threat. A great creature feature, The Mist is fun, action packed and dramatic (especially that ending!). Actually, maybe you should just press stop once they drive into the mist near the end, because the last 5 minutes is so dark, it will definitely break your heart.

2 – Creepshow 2 (1987)

UNCONFIRMED photo of Miley Cyrus at the kids choice awards.

I’m sure this one needs no description, but Creepshow 2 is a horror anthology of tales based on Stephen King stories. The first segment follows a cigar-store Native American statue coming to life to avenge the death of the shop owner and his wife. The Raft features a group of sexy teens travel to a secluded lake to swim and have fun. Problem is there is an evil organism living in the lake that is hungry for some nubile flesh. The final installment follows a woman who hits a hitchhiker with her car and decides to flee the scene, but the victim isn’t inclined to remain dead.

This was my favourite movie growing up! A brilliant collection of twisted, and timeless vignettes. The wrap around animation is a lot of fun too, telling the story of little Billy and his bullies.

1 – The Shining (1980)

You could’ve just knocked, Jack.

There is no other number one.

In The Shining, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as winter caretaker at the isolated Overlook Hotel in Colorado, hoping to cure his writer’s block. Psychic premonitions plague his son Danny. As Jack’s writing goes nowhere, young Danny’s visions become more intense. Jack discovers the hotel has dark secrets and he begins to unravel, terrorizing his family as he spirals downward into madness.

The pamphlet for the Overlook Hotel should just read: Overlook Hotel, where a bunch of jerk ghosts live. Poor Danny, his “Shining” ability along with a childish love of exploration, open him up to some serious spectral harassment. This movie builds tension to perfection. In fact one of my favourite characters in the film is Dick Halloran. When Dick is on-screen there is usually a slight respite from the heavy tension.

This movie is a classic that every horror fan needs to see at least once.. no, twice.
