So in the Bible, the first ever murder of a human was committed against a family member out of hatred and envy, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it and asked, "Am I [the victim]'s keeper?" And in Hazbin Hotel, the first ever murder of an angel was committed to protect family members out of love, and afterward the killer denied responsibility for it to keep the family they were defending safe, calling themselves their "keeper". Hmm.

there are literally incalculable meta posts i could make about the silt verses (it’s one of those stories where i have thoughts about Every Damn Line) but tonight i’m thinking about how..... DELICIOUSLY it sets up and then subverts your worldbuilding expectations.
if you haven’t listened yet. consider this mini essay my pitch. (or rather one of many pitches.)
because you start with this narrative episode about two members of an outlawed religion seeking other members of their faith, and they’re both compelling and sympathetic and layered narrators, but also. one is describing a childhood built on drowning and torturing people to death and the other is delighted by sacrificial corpses and horrific apparitions of eldritch nonsense and you’re like, “okay, yeah, this is a horror podcast. i can pretty damn well see why your religion is outlawed jesus FUCK you guys how is there THIS MUCH MURDER involved in your religious rites-”
and one of the narrators tells you that society is hypocritical because the legal religions Also cause harm. and if you’re anything like me, you go okay, girl, whatever you need to tell yourself to justify your current crusade. your god is a special kind of fucked up but it’s all good
then of course there are hints of social worldbuilding that challenge this assumption, but it’s not until paige’s introduction ep that you’re smacked Full In The Face with like. All Of It. 
because paige is a law-abiding citizen high up on the corporate food chain, and she works a mundane job at a branding company. 
and the company’s margins are bad. 
and the company’s industry is shrinking. 
and the company needs to cut costs and reinvigorate its own brand. 
and of course this is a difficult time for everyone but flexibility is necessary to stay competitive in a cutthroat world.
and now the company is torturing its low-performing employees to death in front of everyone as a corporate ritual. viscerally described. 
and paige, who JUST watched her closest work friend die in the most horrific way imaginable, is playing her part as someone high up on the corporate food chain.
she is being upbeat and being cheerful and encouraging her surviving coworkers to “look lively” and pretending that nothing happened. 
and not a single person protests. and no one shrieks in horror and everyone shifts back into their worksona and the day passes without any particular note because this is a social norm and layoff-sacrifices are too commonplace to report and it is legal and it is accepted and it is a good way to boost the flagging numbers for the giant capitalist machine.
and you have this realization that. 
this Really Is how the world is. 
there really ISN’T anything separating the outlaw narrators’ rituals from those of the corporate and city-based gods.
and then the follow-up question becomes, “wait, then why is THEIR god banned?? if it’s not the murder and the horror then why is their god banned???? what’s the fucking difference????”
and the answer is that their outlawed god draws people away from the cities and the factories and the oil rigs and the pollution and the mineshafts. and their outlawed god does not contribute anything to the state. 
and it’s not about what people worship or what the gods want or what the rituals require or what the hallowed bodies look like.
it’s just about how The State (TM) and Capitalism (TM) are both systems that have weaponized the law to kill every god that doesn’t contribute to their money and power and exploitation and culture and control.
and then it’s.... it’s not about the horror anymore.
it’s not a story of two deeply flawed protagonists from a sick and twisted cult who are reasonably forced into the shadows of a largely normal world because They Are In A Horror Story, And Are Doing What Horror Protagonists Do (Being Fucking Crazy).
it’s a story about our world. the one we live in. we the listener. here in our modern-ass non-supernatural late-stage-capitalism world. it’s about all the structures we’ve built and burned and all the destruction at the center of that goddamn world.
the eldritch gods and terrors are just set dressing.

‼️//tw, cw: blood, vile descriptions(??)‼️
...
...
yep, Willow is silly and cute, buuut..
once in Skull Cavern, when all food were running low, he had to resort to devouring the raw meat of the first monster he saw
Tumblr media
imagine - you're walking through the deserted dark corridors of the cavern, and you come upon a lean and deathly pale torso shaking over the carcass of a huge serpent, and seeing the light, he turns around, and you see Willow, who is like a ravenous mad animal, tearing out bloody chunks of flesh, swallowing it hungrily and painfully. his pupil trembles and reflexively narrows from the sharp beam of the flashlight, and he stares at you fearfully, holding a torn piece of meat with blood still dripping down it..

Bailey loaning you to Remy cause he thinks it'll help him get over his feelings but then demanding you beck and discovering that Remy has branded you.
Bailey and Remy should fight until one of them dies. That's just my personal opinion
AMAB Bailey | AMAB Remy | GN PC
Bailey doesn't know how he got into this situation and he thinks that Remy is equally as surprised but it doesn't stop him from punching Remy again this time splattering the barn fence in his blood. Bailey shakes out his fist a bit his face twisted in a snarl
"It's been two days! You couldn't control yourself for Two fucking days?!" Bailey shouts as he stands over Remy.
Remy swipes his sleeve over his broken nose attempting to stop the bleeding. "You said it was mine! I figured that meant I could keep it!"
"So you branded them?! You touched my ward with a hot iron?!" Bailey was gearing up to punch Remy again but he backed up moving out of Bailey's range.
"You gave me a defective product. It's how we deal with the animals." Remy explains. "Plus you've never wanted one back before. Why does this one matter?"
Bailey seethes with anger as he looks at Remy but he can't let this asshole know why he cares. He can't hope to explain that for days Bailey hadn't been able to eat, sleep, work, or jerk off without you around. He's been so consistent with his reputation. He has to think of a lie. Something good.
"I sold them to Briar."
Bad lie. Remy would be able to figure that out. It's not like they never talked.
"Tell that asshole I got to them first!" Remy shouts "And if this is just a matter of money you don't have to punch me- Jesus Bailey."
Bailey growls a bit before he shoves Remy aside grabbing you by the new cowbell around your neck and dragging you from the pen.
Remy looks pissed but doesn't make a move to stop Bailey as he drags you over to the car and shoves you into the passenger side.
"I'm gonna take this shit up with Briar! You can't let him poach my stuff anymore Bailey!" Remy shouts before he wipes up the remaining blood from his face and turns back to the barn.
Bailey ignores him getting back into his car his knuckles turn white as he grips the wheel. He's made a mess that he'll have to clean up later. But at least you're back k where you belong.
The brand on your thigh will have to be treated And covered up. But Bailey decides the cowbell can stay…

"please dont go.." staring at sebastian as he straps his suitcase onto his motorcycle, you knew that he wanted out of pelican town, to finally go to the city, but you couldn't go with. you had your life here and you couldn't uproot it just for him and deep down he knew it too. "so it's goodbye than?" he said already knowing the answer he would get, "yeah, i think it is...see you around seb." and walking back home having to hear his motorcycle drive off with your broken heart was the hardest part.

random tangent here but god i wish there was more stuff of the npcs in general. in both the fandom and in game
they are in fact my Favorite part of the game ever i love them so much more than the main cast of the game. EVEN if they are interesting and whatnot, and have cool lore, i love the npcs so much.
one of my favorites ive stated before was helob. and there isnt enough fan content for him. i love that walking talking red flag of a spider, he's great. like i know he just sort of exists to sell you followers and thats it but STILL. look at him. he's so,, unnerving in his dialogue and mannerisms and i love that. spooky man-eating spider y'know.
and theres even less for the others too. like look at rakshasa, HE'S RAINBOW. i love his sort of no-nonsense expression he has. we got forneus!! cat mom! of course she gets a little more attention because of her sons but still. not enough to satisfy. i also wish there was more of monch, i think monch is cool. i like moths. theres barely anything about monch. big sad. and plimbo is a really goofy character, i like his mother-in-law jokes.
i love their designs and the small snippets of dialogue we have for them, they are so funky and colorful and weird.
I KNOW It. Drives me bonkers. But the problem is that. With canon touching on them so barely, fandom has little to go off of. Especially in the case of someone like Monch, who I ALSO really like, because Monch has exactly TWO lines of dialogue !! and he's such a random chance encounter I didn't even know he existed until I was well through the game!!
and IT SUCKS!!!! BECAUSE I ALSO REALLY LIKE THE NPCS!!!!! There's so much character in what little we DO get, and it just leaves me longing for more interactions that the devs are denying me. And that subsequently fandom is also denying me, because (and reasonably enough) fandom is too focused on the Lamb and the Bishops.
I realize I am saying this immediately after Kallamar posting but LOOK, I can appreciate both the Main Guys and the NPCs sdhgKSDJGH
But honestly even in cases like Sozo, an NPC who gets a lot more content than the others, fandom do be neglecting him too. Not nearly to the extent of ones like Monch or Rakshasa of course, but I am sTARVING OVER HERE.
If devs aren't giving us the npc content we crave why don't We start doing that more. C'mon guys. Pleas.
Anyway I think Rakshasa and Helob should interact they're literally in the same room across from each other for the entire game and say nothing about each other. I want them to have a standoff because they've just had to stare at each other from across the way for ages and say nothing while Helob's gaze is Incredibly Unsettling and Rakshasa's just like. 👁_👁 try me bitch
ALSO I WAS JUST LOOKING IN THE WIKI TO CHEKC SOMETHIN GI DIDN'T KNOW RAKSHASA FUCKING ATTACKS YOU IF YOU HIT HIS WIFE?!?!? HELP??????? he's like I don't give a fuck if you're a cult leader you come after my wife you're DONE FOR!!!!!

a wild flavor of tumblr user is a certain kind of white American self id’d leftist or commie who reblogs and posts things about I just think all liberals and centrists should DIE (*guillotine* meme) and then posts things needing to be nicer to demographics that vote 80% Republican and are very systemically involved in the structural and practical oppression of people of color and the whole US hegemony like brooo I get having a seriously messy relationship with your own cultural background but who are you talking about? Guillotining everyone at mawmaw’s thanksgiving?

Poor Baby America
Honestly the more I learn about America the less bad I feel for the colonists. When I was younger I was like aye, this is bullshit about the revolution. But now as a history major I’m like yeah screw Britain but like can we talk about how freedom is right except if you’re a non white or not a male or don’t own property. And your taxes were less than the British?

[image ID: a torn sign with plain typed text taped to the side of a bridge. Only the parts under the tape remain. The top portion says "Have you seen violence." Under a second piece of tape various single words remain, including bullying, screaming, knives, agression, gangs, and murder. The middle of the sign is missing. /end ID]

Blatantly Partisan Party Review XII (NSW 2023): Shooters, Fishers and Farmers
Prior reviews: federal 2013, VIC 2014, federal 2016, VIC 2018, NSW 2019, federal 2019, federal 2022, VIC 2022
What I said before: “This party would dismantle every policy that confines gun ownership to its legitimate grounds ... It’s not even funny to scroll through their ranting.” (federal 2022)
What I think this year: Yeah, that’s pretty much it. Amazing how they manage to be wrong on everything: the lead articles on their website are anti-environment rants and shilling in favour of problem gambling. But of course worst of all is their approach to firearms. I reiterate what I’ve said before: I’m from a rural family, I know the value of a rifle on a farm, and I know this party is full of shit.
Australia has had extraordinary success with its gun laws, but it produced the Christchurch terrorist and it has not adequately faced up to this legacy of armed violence. Do most voters even realise that the last NSW election happened in the shadow of an NSW-raised terrorist murdering 51 people in Christchurch, or that the fourth anniversary was earlier this month? The fact the answer to this is obviously “no” reflects very, very, very poorly on Australia.
When I voted in the 2019 NSW election, I made a point of putting the SFF last. A fortnight out, it possibly seemed like a tough choice, with the likes of Mark Latham and David Leyonhjelm also on the ballot, but I have always possessed a special derision for gun nuts and the tragedy in Christchurch confirmed my choice to place the lead SFF candidate last. This party has not been properly asked to face up to the consequences of their pro-gun ideology and this is frankly poor form by the NSW political media.
As it happens, the SFF has experienced quite significant ruptures in the past year. Helen Dalton, member for Murray, quit the party in 2022. SFF’s leader, Rob Borsak, remarked in parliament that Dalton should be “clocked”, and when he failed to apologise or retract his remarks, two other MPs quit the party. This meant SFF lost all three of its lower house members, leaving Borsak and Mark Basaniak in the upper house.
What a surprise the leader of a party called the Shooters would be unapologetic about violent language. You should be unapologetic about giving SFF a tremendously bad preference.
Recommendation: Give the Fans of Gun Violence Party a weak or no preference.

Robin fic snippet
The upright politeness faded away completely, leaving a drained Tim standing in front her with twitching, empty hands.  “He- he died and came back.”   In the sunlight, in this terribly too-lit room, Tim’s eyes were blue. Those famous, pretty Wayne boys- all synonymously gorgeous. Not hazel, not even a touch of tinting green. Blue eyed orphans, all three of the first Robins.   “You’re not riding the Pit.”   “Are you?”   Elle rolled her eyes. “When is the last time you slept?”   Tim shrugged. Shoved his hands in his pockets. “I- Did you feel it, when Jason died?”   Felt it and felt it and felt it and- it occurred to Elle, belated and sickening, that as far his siblings were concerned, Jason had probably only died once.   “Okay,” Elle said, rocking back on her heels. “Okay. Show me your kitchen. If we’re talking about this, I’m going to do something with all those apples and you”-   “You can ask me questions too,” Tim offered, arms already overflowing with the apple bags. “I don’t care.”   He cared so much it was practically bleeding off him, but if all you heard was Tim Drake’s voice, the lie was nearly intact.   The kitchen might as well have been another universe. Cavern of a living room made into rich people performance art- but the kitchen was a living cave. Gold, soft light and enormous windows, dark warm everything in blue and copper pots, hanging merry. It was a cutout of lovely design principles- it was so perfect Eleanor wanted to live in it, seemingly untouched but for a half full coffee pot, sitting below an ajar cabinet full of mugs.   Tim was watching her, accessing, one side of his mouth just barely curved into a nascent smile.   “B had it redone,” he said, stepping right around her and laying down the overflowing bags on a dark marble counter, “When it became clear to everyone he was going to keep adopting. Need a real kitchen for kids.”   Elle didn’t answer. Busy mechanically making piles of apple varieties- twelve brayburns but a single, bruised honey crisp, god- while trying to think about how, exactly, she could explain to a witch’s house that was confused by the concept of electricity that she wanted black countertops and a double oven.   “Jason,” Tim continued, eyeing her, “Used to break in to bake.”   Elle found she couldn’t look up because- fuck. Fuck. Jason, in the whole asininely attractive vigilante outfit, guns and knives and thighs, breaking in to pop a pie in the oven. Of course.   She was a horrible fucking soulmate.

Boycott Israeli Dates this Ramadan, from Call 2 Action Now, 28/Feb/2024: (caption under images)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This Ramadan, don’t break your fast with an Israeli date. Stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Israel’s genocidal assault on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip has now killed tens of thousands. Palestinians, facing down Israel’s catastrophic violence, call on us to boycott Israeli products in solidarity with their struggle for freedom.
Follow this quick guide to boycotting Israeli dates:
• Always check the label when buying dates. Don’t buy dates that are produced or packaged in Israel or its West Bank settlements. If no country of origin can be found on the box, check the retailer’s website.
• One of Israel’s largest exporters is called Hadiklaim. It sells dates in supermarkets under these names: King Solomon, Jordan River and Jordan River Bio-Top, as well as under the labels of supermarket chains. Check the box carefully, if the dates were “exported by Hadiklaim” – don’t buy them.
• Avoid these companies: Mehadrin, MTex, Edom, Carmel Agrexco, and Arava
#checkthelabel is not enough. Israel has been caught labelling their dates as ‘produce of Palestine’. Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S, Morrison, Aldi, Lidl and Asda package Israeli dates under their own labels!
Buy dates from Zaytoun, Alard, Yaffa, and Holy Land Date all support Palestinian Farmers. If you cannot get hold of these brands then buy dates from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, UAE and Algeria.
