#BORN OF SIN

[magicaldogtoto]

Every time Rouki shows up in Gaoranger, I think of that one Amon Amarth song (to date the only Amon Amarth song I’ve ever heard).

Imagine if Machete was Muslim instead of Catholic. His name would be something like Saif سيف, and Vasco would probably be something like Dhahabi ذَهَبِيّ

.

#I don't know Arabic so I can't weigh in that much but if you say so! #it seems like these mean “sword” and “golden” respectively that's neat #Machete wouldn't be able to cling to his Catholic guilt in that case #I don't think Islam has the same concept of original sin that Christianity does #I'm simplifying but it's a belief that humans are born with an innate tendency for evil sinning is part of our nature #and staying on the positive and in God's good graces requires a lot of repentance which can lead to excess guilt and shame #I could be wrong but I'm under the impression that this idea of a manufacturing error is a very Christian thing #sorry I know you didn't sign up to hear me try to talk about big theology things and I don't want to make it weird #but I find this stuff really interesting I unironically like to read and think about how religions work #and how they shape things they come in contact with #in Machete's case in particular his troubled relationship with God and his career choice are big parts of his character #and why he turned the way he did and thinks the way he does you know #answered #kachavashka #Dhahabi is such a regal sounding name #I'd steal that in a heartbeat if I didn't already have one extremely gold-coded character

HUGE fan of morgott the omen king as a character. disabled son of god was thrown into the sewers to be left for dead with his twin brother, climbs out of the sewers, wants to still work hard and become god’s favorite and uphold the law, becomes king under the disguise that he’s abled, and then still upholds god’s law that all disabled undesirables just like him are thrown into the sewers. crazy

#txt #i do think closest real-world allegory to the omens is disability re: #they are born from ‘normal’ parents always. plus the horns #grow so large as to weigh them down/even poke out some eyes #+ historical equivocations of physical disability and blasphemy/sin #hes also literally upholding the nomads’ genocide too theres like at least two genocides there. horrific #but FASCINATING guy

thinking about crowley and "my lover's got humor, she's the giggle at a funeral" and "knows everybody's disapproval, i should have worshipped her sooner" and "if the heavens ever did speak then she's the last true mouth piece" and "the only heaven i'll be sent to is when i'm alone with you" and "my lover's the sunlight" and "i was born sick but i love it" and "there is no sweeter innocence then our gentle sin"

#he was born sick #shoveling dirt into my mouth are you kidding #holy fucking shit crowley looking at aziraphale and thinking if the heaven's ever did speak then she's the last true mouth piece #hozier said this song is about “reclaiming your humanity through the act of love” he literally said “it's essentially about sex” and how th #church teaches people to feel shame about sex and love #jesus fucking christ crowley finds absolution through his love and desire for aziraphale not through god or heaven but through this sin #i will not survive i am weak i am mmmmmmm #good omens #aziracrow #inneffable husbands are being inneffable again #crowley tag

[pansyfemme]

my therapist is very old so i know this diagnosis isnt usually called that anymore but ‘delusions of sin’ is the coolest possible shit to have on my medical records thats like a metal band or something

#they’re called delusions of guilt now #basically its just when you become extremly paranoid about doing bad things and committing sins you never did or didnt do to a level worth #that kind of obsession. i was convinced that i was born to be evil and couldnt fix it for a long time #and yes its pretty similar to ocd

[rabbits-of-negative-euphoria]

if people were fundamentally good, we would not need Christ

#- HK #if people were fundamentally good it would be possible for someone to die without ever having sinned #and that person would have been born outside of original sin #and that person could have gone to heaven without being covered by the blood of Christ #'no all people will sin before they die' then what is the point of saying we're fundamentally good? what does it even mean? #if each of us is inevitably guilty of cosmic treason against God then none of us is fundamentally good #if you can look at YOURSELF and conclude 'I am fundamentally good' you are gravely delulu #I'm serious. you are not using God's measuring stick you are using one you fashioned yourself in your sin #remember that the root of 'good' is 'God'. you claim that you are fundamentally godly. holy. I wonder what God thinks of that. #when He says even your righteous deeds are as filthy menstrual (ritually unclean) rags #Christianity #x

Decade long morality debates aside, the simple fact is that Joel Miller shooting up an entire hospital to save his adoptive daughter's life will always warm my goddamn heart

#sorry not sorry #the last of us hbo #joe miller #nothing you can say will change that #tell me it's a sin - sins born of love move me i don't care #what is worth sinning for if not love?

[arabnico]

nico i would rather let the earth consume me than succumb to my shameful desires / lost my life and everything i could have had about freedom and happiness when i discovered homosexuality / i perpetuate a guilt bigger than me by only existing / everyone sees right through me but no one knows how truly rotten i am but also i cannot see through myself / i'll bite my tongue swallow the blood i'd trade all the love i could ever experience for the unconditionally of yours and yourself to come back di angelo

#don't believe anything they say in tsats #what do american fags know about the death sentences that are born with you but that you inevitably fall in love with #we were starting to lose recipes i need you all to remember gay shame and the concept of sin are the most beautiful things in art kinda eve

THE CROWD'S RESPONSE

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

There is something so comforting about characters who choose not to be evil.

Like, Luke Skywalker stands on the precipice of not coming back, almost let’s his rage and fear overtake him, and you can see him realize that. You can see the moment where he makes the conscious decision to take the hard way out of this. You can see him choose to stop, choose to control his own impulses, and choose to show mercy on a being that has not showed or been shown mercy in a very long time.

Or Cissie King-Jones in the Young Justice run. Her school was attacked, the woman who got Cissie out of her horrible living situation was murdered, and Cissie was inadvertently shown the tape that the murderer made of killing her, where he made her beg to live but shot her anyway. Cissie is rightfully pissed. Cissie hunts down the shooter. Cissie makes him beg for his life, makes him fear that she’s going to kill him. And, Superboy comes in to remind her that she doesn’t want to be a killer, but it’s Cissie herself who stops. It’s Cissie herself who realizes that she doesn’t want to be in this position, that she’s scared and feels alone and vulnerable and she doesn’t know what to do. Cissie pulls herself out of the situation, she decides that she can’t kill someone who isn’t worth going to prison for. She makes that choice, even though it’s the most difficult choice she’s made.

Peter Parker’s violent thoughts are often portrayed as a joke, especially early on, but Peter is always holding himself back. He is constantly making the choice not to hurt people. He is always conscious of his super strength and how easily he could hurt someone or kill someone with it. He is always aware of his own potential to cause pain. But he chooses not to. He chooses to keep his touch light, even when he could make the excuse he was distracted. He is always making that choice, he always makes the choice to be a better person, he always tries so damn hard to be a halfway decent person, even on days he wishes he could be awful and selfish and cruel.

There’s just something about characters who have walked that line. Characters who stopped themselves and thought “I don’t want to do this.” Characters who are scared and who worry that their capacity for evil alone makes them less good. Characters who decide that it doesn’t matter, because they’re going to try to be a better person whether the universe allows it or not.

I don’t know. I just love those characters who had to go through Hell to be what they eventually become. Characters who are broken down and build themselves back up even stronger. Characters who put the reins on their impulses and decide that they’re in control, not their instincts and not anybody who might desire to control them.

There’s something immensely comforting that some of the most powerful characters in media are not made any less powerful or any less heroic because of things they cannot control, like their thoughts. They can only control how they respond to those thoughts. That’s what separates them from villains, that’s what makes them so powerful, they don’t choose the easy way out of things. Their willpower is stronger than steel. And it’s nice.

#luke skywalker #cissie king jones #peter parker #star wars #dc #young justice #marvel #spiderman #imperfect characters #luke looking at the past and choosing to extend a hand in mercy #cissie realizing that murdering the guy will just be giving him an easy out while making her own life more difficult #peter having impulsive thoughts about murdering people who are cruel to him #character analysis #these characters are near and dear to my heart #because they prove that choosing to be good #is what makes you good #you aren’t born good or bad #your goodness is determined by your actions #and your thoughts are not sinful #you can’t help your mind going to some dark places sometimes #and that doesn’t make you bad #you don’t have to be perfect to be good #you choose to be good #the inane ramblings of a madman

Do You Believe in the Son of Man?

They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins [from head to foot], and you [presume to] teach us?” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue]. Jesus heard that they had put him out [of the synagogue], and finding him, He asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” — John 9:34-35 | Amplified Bible (AMP) The Amplified Bible Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation.

"Yeh Yung-chih (葉永鋕) [...] attended Gaoshu Junior High School in Pingtung County, Taiwan, and was often bullied by his classmates due to his gender non-conformity. In April 2000, Yeh Yung-chih was found lying in a pool of blood with serious injuries and died after being taken to the hospital. The incident led to extensive discussions about gender equality education in Taiwan."

谁把谁的灵魂 装进谁的身体

Who put which souls into which bodies

谁把谁的身体 变成囹圄囚禁自己

Who turned their bodies into prisons for the self

乱世总是最 不缺耳语

Troubled times are never short of whisperings

哪种美丽会 换来妒忌

What kind of beauty is rewarded with jealousy?

你并没有罪 有罪的是这世界

You did nothing wrong, the wrongs are with this world

生而为人无罪 你不需要抱歉

Nobody is born with sin, you have nothing to apologise for

One day I will be you, baby boy and you gon'be me

喧哗如果不停 让我陪你安静

If the noise won't stop, let me accompany you in silence

I wish I could hug you, till you're really really being free

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽

Your best revenge is beauty

最美的 盛开是 反击

Your greatest blooms are your retaliation

别让谁去 改变了你

Don't let anyone change who you are

你是你 或是妳 都行

You can be man or woman, it doesn't matter

会有人 全心的 爱你

There will be people who will truly love you

试着想像 you switched to his body

Try to imagine, you switched to his body

Sexuality 当心什么会伤你

Sexuality, be careful of what will hurt you

多少次的重伤 多少次的冷语

How many severe wounds, how many cold words

Drowning 谁会拉你

Who will pull you up when you're drowning?

Dreaming 谁会陪你

Who will be with you when you're dreaming?

Same shit happens every day

你离开后 世界可改变

Has the world changed after you are gone?

多少无知罪愆 事过不境迁

How many ignorant faults are forgotten as the world moves on?

永志不忘纪念 往事不如烟

Never forget Yung-chih, don't let the past fade away

生而为人无罪 你不需要抱歉

Nobody is born with sin, you have nothing to apologise for

One day I will be you, baby boy and you gon'be me

喧哗如果不停 让我陪你安静

If the noise won't stop, let me accompany you in silence

I wish I could hug you, till you're really really being free

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽

玫瑰少年 在我心里

The rose youth lives on in my heart

绽放著 鲜艳的 传奇

Blooming into a beautiful legends

我们都 从来没 忘记

That we have never forgotten

你的控诉 没有声音

Your accusations are silent

却倾诉 更多的 真理

Yet they convey greater truths

却唤醒 无数的 真心

Yet they have awoken countless hearts

哪朵玫瑰没有荆棘

What rose is not accompanied by thorns?

最好的 报复是 美丽
