#Human-Terrorizing God

[alchemisoul]

I don't recognize "God-fearing" as a virtue or a superlative quality in an individual. To be clear, it's not a point I make for the sake of being sacrilegious or disrespectful to believers.

Conversely it's a point I make out of the sympathy I have for the generational trauma endured by and required of believers of bygone ages to have convinced themselves and their descendants of the virtue there is to be extracted from the Fear of God.

The only idea that a "God-Fearing Man" evokes in me is the haunting implication it makes for the unspoken existence of a "Human-Terrorizing God" - of which there is ironically enough a large body of evidence for in the Old Testament.

I'd rather worship Water and Wind today and die in the eye of the storm tonight than spend a single second of a tomorrow where I live in fear of and thus consumed by Fire and Brimstone.

Jason: I actually have two little brothers.

Kyle: Oh, how old are they?

Jason: Uh..

Kyle: [starts cracking up]

Jason: Wait a min- hold up- I will check on that later.. but they are indeed-

Kyle: JASON

Jason: -younger than me..

Kyle: Jason.. I was gonna be like "Are you a good big borther?" But clearly NOT. If you don't even know their age.

Jason: [caught in 4K]

Kyle: What year were they born?

Jason: They- YEAR?! If I knew that..

Kyle: This kid is just.. [looks helplessly at Donna]

Donna: Don't get me into this. Do you think I have any idea how old Diana is?

Kyle: You too?! I can't believe this-

Donna: Oh, you can't? Tell me, Kyle, how old do you think Hal is?

Kyle:

Kyle: ......27?

#Jason: Kyle. Aren't you 30? How can Hal be younger than you?? #Donna: Hal does give off a younger vibe but unline Diana he's only human. So how can he look and feel so young? #Kyle: [whispering in terror] Oh my fucking god.

I return to the AVPxDC crossover. This Au. This one right here, because I have Thoughts. Specifically about the entire batfam.

Now the batfam is actually kind of large if you include those like Alfred and Kate. Which one should very much always include Alfred as family, that's Bruce's second dad.

But anyway, batfam. Most have been discussed already, including Kate pretty much pulling an Uno Reverse card on the yautja and having her own trophy room of all the hunters and their tech. Along with the robot dogs (canon in batman ayy) just even larger.

And it's been discussed about Jason becoming a big beefy crusher after his dip in the Lazarus Pit, and his version of Pit Rage pretty much him being overwhelmed by past memories from past xenos along his line when they're usually blurred.

It's even been discussed of Damian being a lil science-experiment child like canon just with a hint of bonus confusing instincts not helping his entire situation while in the League.

Not even touching the poetic mirroring between Bruce and Clark and their continued friendship.

But you know who I want to talk about? Terry and Matt Mcginnis, the boys from Batman Beyond. Those boys, the lil buddies usually forgotten about. They were talked about for like, two sentences and I am rotating this world's version of them. Honestly I kind of like the idea of them being like the only two eggs that Bruce had. Or at least the two that hatched, because who knows what is even able to work with how much alteration their biology has had, even compared to other xenos.

Psspsspss @phoenixcatch7 my mutual I summon thee

#DCxAVP #AVPxDC #xenomorph #batfamily #trans bruce #You absolutely know Clark is all of the batkids' godparent #Clark is ready to fight god under a red sun for this family #Also have thoughts about Gotham being the city that has these dangerous xreatures around all the time #And just the thoughts about like early batman and all that #Also have thoughts of how much they'd hate fighting Mr Freeze #and how Bruce and Ivy would probably be friends in this au when she's not doing eco terrorism #also thinking of the batfam having to build so much of their stuff to be acid resistant should they be injured in battle #Also very soft over when Diana first gains enough trust from B & Clark to meet the kids #idk it's late and i am just rotatin this au #alien human hybrids #alien vs predator #batman au

This TWST bleach AU is bringing me to my past omg

HBCSDJHBRDF THIS AU IS ALSO FOR NOSTALGIA AND PAST!!!! hehe

Coco promising that the Shinigamis are not going to be a problem.

...

THE SHINIGAMIS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY THE PROBLEM(?)

#The past is here. #(?) #TWST Bleach Au #Sam is a joking #smiling captain BUT WHEN HE IS FORCED TO FIGHT- #He gives his enemy a round trip tour of the Human World and Soul Society 5 times #DON'T MAKE HIM FIGHT #He throws all his titles at you to cause more terror- #It was always cool how Shinigami can be super strong. respected. literally gods of death. but incredibly funny and stupid #it was the best thing about bleach

It's just so disturbing how a great majority of my classmates started to forget about Palestine. I've seen people purchase Cokes on multiple occasions without a second thought, and wherever I go, McDonald's is always, without exception, crowded.

And I'm living in the middle east.

EGYPT. I'M IN FREAKING EGYPT, AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I'm shattered by the fact that I got to enjoy Eid, while my neighbors in Palestine starved.

The way I was so happy, momentarily forgetting the way they'd struggle just for a single loaf of bread.

How my country, the people I'm associated with, are putting up insane prices for nothing more than an individual to illegally pass the Rafah crossing. Leaving them to their own devices, no visa, no job, no home, and after making it past the crossing, no money. How they exploit weakness, and helplessness is something I truly scorn.

Never.

I repeat.

NEVER, do such a thing as interact with me if you believe any of this genocide, harm, ethnic cleansing, exploitation, propaganda, is justifiable.

I won't hesitate to give you a good enlightenment session; I won't mind turning it into a show for all to see if you dare so much as to give me your false, filthy accusations against the Palestinians.

No excuses will be taken into account.

Not after what I've been witnessing, and overhearing for the entirety of my childhood years before the 7th of October. My mother always read the news outloud to my sister with a brokenhearted expression, I always listened in, and cried a little (lot).

#saff-ron tag #palestine #palestinians #stop the genocide #stop terrorism #free gaza #free palestine #god please stop these degenerates #they are truly undeserving of anything #free free palestine #free from israel #stop israel #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #ceasfire now #egypt #Egypt needs to have a reform of their moral scale #and a little touch more of basic human decency #if there even is any #call me rude #i'm just stating based on what i've been seeing

one of the many things to love about george is that his yelling about a deadly situation voice and yelling at his roommates voice is the exact same voice

#terror is terror what can i say #being human uk #george sands #love when his voice gets all shrieky #but god i wish you weren't so fucking awkward bud #yeah i'm rewatching it now i do want to see where it goes

[dollsome-does-tumblr]

it's weird how watching fictional people socially interact is like my favorite thing but when i'm faced with social interaction, i'm like god, no, please, no, what did i do to deserve this

#maybe a slight exaggeration #but damn do i feel sooooooo nervous every time i know i'm gonna have to interact with another human being! #doesn't matter who it is! #my body goes into 'oh god why' terror mode #because i am very bad at human interaction #or at least i sure feel that way! #how do other people do it so effortlessly?? #dollsome's deep thoughts

[inkonfreshnewpaper]

made the mistake of watching the scene of Irving and Koveyook while grabbing some last minute screenshots for my terror camp presentation and now I'm sad

#the terror #it's about the human connection man #irving's so desperate #and he almost sputters out 'i'm john' and fuck dude i'm tearing up #and Koveyook gives him food #and they connect #john #koveyook #they laugh together #god i'm making myself cry #it's up there for scenes of all time for me

Jesus teaches us that he who commits sin is the slave of sin; that is to say, that an alien power has captured and is coercing the wrongdoer. That teaching does not destroy responsibility, but it kindles hope. A foreign foe, who has invaded the land, may be driven out of the land, and all his prisoners set free, if a stronger than he comes against him. Christianity is called gloomy and stern, because it preaches the corruption of man’s heart. [Rather,] is it not a gospel to draw a distinction between the evil that a man does, and the self that a man may be? Is it not better, more hopeful, more of a true evangel, to say to a man, ‘Sin dwelleth in you,’ than to say, ‘What is called sin is only the necessary action of human nature’? To believe that their present condition is not slavery makes men hopeless of ever gaining freedom, and the true gospel of the emancipation of humanity rests on the Christian doctrine of the bondage of sin.

Midnight Mass Netflix is so fucking good oh my god, the show runners went “hey you know what’s got weird fucking text and subtext about blood and flesh? The Bible” and RAN WITH IT and knew exactly where to go with it, this is probably one of the best pieces of vampire media I’ve seen

#I mean the religious imagery is already strong in vampire legends this show just took up the baton and RAN WITH IT #and I fucking love it #even without that stuff I love how it brings back the terror of vampires #like eps 1-3 I mean the horror vibes I was already loving it and bringing some horror back to vampires #don’t get me wrong I also like some of the non horror stuff but vampires flourish best in horror #and this show said damn right they do #anyway everyone go watch this #and kate siegel is AMAZING #god I just finished ep 5 and SO FUCKED UP. that was really fucked up. but it does track with rileys character #and kate siegels acting omgg #OH and bev keane the character of bev? having the classic ‘devoted to the vampire’ human and turning it into/because of religious fervor? #perf. it’s very very good fits in very well #Cassie rambles #midnight mass

#theres this feeling i get sometimes. i find it very hard to articulate. its part despair and part awe. dispair at how beautiful the world is #all those intricate little process coming together to organize the chaos. i dont kno y i feel it so deeply or y it hurts so much #because its just. no matters what horrible things r going on in the world. ur body is this miraculous collection of chemicals and reactions #mobile containers of water with a history that spirals back billions of years. and you can hear and see and experience and reflect #and when you die the world goes on spinning without you. if we as humans destroyed this planet past the part of our ability to inhabit it #it wouldnt even matter. there would be continued life past humanity. cosmically we r tiny and insignificant and we dont matter #but were beautiful and wonderful and infinity complex and knowing that leaves me in agony. because i want to kno everything right now but #mind is too small and i walk around with the disorientation of someone whos just been hit in thr face ans i cant focus enough to read #cant make the words make sense and i cant justify the time it would take to try. so i sit on my deck. in the sun. crying as i think about #how the light hit the grass in my front yard the last time i was home. how the cliffs in the backyard are ringed with red lines of iron #separated out as the water leached through the sandstone. how every avaliable surface is stained green as organisms reach upward toward #the sun. and its beautiful and i dont kno y im crying. maybe its bc i cant just throw everything aside and chase that feeling. im not #allowed to feel it. im not allowed to talk abt it in the way i want. bc im afraid no one cares as much as me in the same way. bc when i #talk abt what i study its obscure and academic and so far from what most ppl think abt that they get intimidated and dont try to understand #so i just try not to talk abt it. or maybe im just afraid. bc i have my 1st TA meeting tomorrow and i meet with my new advisor friday #and im worried and im afraid i wont b able to do this in a way that doesnt make me feel like im dying. bc i like to b busy and i like having #a strict schedule but if u throw me that knife im going to stab myself with it bc i dont kno how wield it as a tool without hurting myself #sure ill get the job done. but at what cost? whatever. ill try to b better this time. try to hold tight to the wonder. but that feels like #reaching out into forever. knowing ill never make contact. not knowing what im reaching for. #the closest approximation to the feeling i can find is that scene in the terror. where go0dsir is asking if god is there. any god. and it #doesnt matter bc he can see god in the landscape. in an environment that's so harsh and barren that its killing him slowly in the worst of #ways and its beautiful. its still beautiful to him. there is wonder here. and im wasting my time laying in a dark room crying bc i put #myself into a container so constrictive that the surface snaps and i come spilling out as an angry liquid. smearing away into nothing #unrelated

knight terrors is fucking killing it lately

#drops tmrw apparently! this is all going too fast for me agh #i hope the artists aren’t getting crunched bc these panels are incredible #creature barry creature barry creature barry #his whole fear abt losing his humanity to the speedforce… how his first thought is hal on the topic of humanity… #how he loses himself to it anyway for the ppl who ground him TO his humanity #the fact that his mom showed up… it’s all abt his family it’s always abt his family. iris and wally need him so ofc he loses himself #and the fact that it’s hal he thinks abt to ground him. this is the second time hal has helped barry in this nightmare #love is the opposite of a choice??? that’s also some insane coding #both gay and neurodivergent #i am not going to be ready for their crossover in the GL run #how are they going to talk after this?? #and it’s just so barry to overrationalize everything seeing as that was his way of coping with grief and trauma growing up #he doesn’t know what else to do #and barry arguing on behalf of someone TO that someone is such a classic barry argument style. god this is so satisfying to see altogether #this series is sm better than i could’ve ever imagined #it’s like we’re being reward for all that analysis we do #like we’re not making this shit up after all! what a dream come true #the irony lol #knight terrors #the flash #barry allen #halbarry #dc #panels #danbles

#smudgy.png #rottmnt #the dog's name is una & the cat's name is duma i made them when i was like #13 then revived them when rise came out #una was originally a radiocative oc. if anyone remembers that. god #una is a dogo argentino & she was a champion fighting dog that ended up getting mutated #she has a sister whos much smaller & weaker than her & wasn't treated well by their owners bc of that #she was also mutated #but they ended up going their separate ways bc una with her new powers was determined to get revenge on the humans #& her sister (momo's her name i think??) #just wanted to go & live her life #they both have similar powers of like always secreting this toxic goo just in different places #una from her mouth (the muzzle which was on her when she mutated & is fused to her face kind of keeps that in check) #& momo from her hands (so she wears gloves) #duma's a yokai hes also like 14 & is the sweetest boy in the world #but una is so nice to him so he follows her around & helps her terrorize the humans #basically shes his mom now & they love each other very much #fun fact i named her una bc i thought the doberman from beverly hills chihuahua was rly cool & thought it was #soo cool that his name meant The Devil (i was a depressed kid w christian parents) #so i was like well i wanna do that. so i gave her a name that meant One #why i didnt just name her smth else that meant devil i dont. know #i think i just liked how the word uno looked but wanted to make it a Girl Name so made it una instead #momo is just a nickname for mimzy basically #i named her after the movie rabbit but thought it sounded too weird so went w momo instead

I think this melatonin is inducing nightmares because why was I reminded of my dormant fear of realistic talking bipedal animals who are not supposed to be bipedal

#and they spoke in like biblical English #ya know #thou mustn’t betray me #and they claimed to be attached to old #gods #I don’t like it #and it was very scary #when I say walking humanoid animals think lamb a24 #I didn’t watch that #cuz the trailer struck a terror in my heart #this all stemmed from either a show or dream I watched as a kid #it was huge bipedal pig wearing clothes and doing human things #it even fell in love with a woman I think #scared me senseless

[stevethehairington]

finished the terror show! and i gotta say — probably not a surprise but — i liked the book better. tbh i don't think the show was long enough. like the book was SO long and despite the slow moving pace it had SO much packed into it, and i think because the show was only 10 episodes it ended up having to smush a bunch of things together and skip out of others and that totally took away from it. don't get me wrong, it's a decent show! but i think it had the potential to be even better if they'd gotten to like, take the time to faithfully adapt the book.

also there was not enough tuunbaq!!!

#the monster scenes were some of the best in the book!!! and they SEVERLY underused that big dude in the show!!! #like removing him completely from the carnivale scene? Bad Choice!! #also i was absolutely not a fan of what they did with lady silence in the show #i feel like the changes they made to her character and the plotlines surrounding her character were HUGE changes that like. #fundamentally changed a significant chunk of the rest of the plot — to the shows detriment imo #ALSO for the love of god!!!!! bring back practical effects!!!!!!! #the creature would have looked SO much cooler if it was mostly practical effects and maybe a little cgi to help #what it ended up looking like was a WEIRD (neg) uncanny valley those-animals-with-human-faces-from-barbie-movies thing that LOOKED so fake #it was laughable really #it looked like a giant polar bear with a human face and it did NOT work #they had the chance to make that thing look TERRIFYING and they didnt and that is SO disappointing and SO upsetting!!! #OH also i feel like they made hickey WAAAAAY more pathetic in the show lmfao #like he was pathetic in the book too! but oh my god he was like a thousand times more wet rat pathetic in the show #and i think they couldve done better with his power trip like they couldve done MORE with it #(i will say tho. they picked an EXCELLENT actor for that role fhsjdid adam nagaitis has a LOVELY face to look at gjdkdk) #((and so does tobias menzies. somethin about that man in that hat was just 👌👌🥴😩)) #N E WAYS #i liked the show but i could have liked it even more if it had been closer to the book #the terror #mack watches the terror

[mxtxfanatic]

Just like Wei Wuxian with the jeering crowd of mdzs, had Luo Binghe decided to just massacre everyone at Zhao Hua Monastery and leave it at that, I would not fault him.

“We’re completely justified in attacking innocent demons on sight because they might one day attack us, and this isn’t limited to killing an unborn fetus, but if these demons seek retribution, it’s proof they’re evil!” Yeah i wish lbh had removed their uvulas from their throats the long way

#svsss #human reads svsss #this is literally like the cultivators who were terrorizing mbj at FOUR and thought that was a display if righteousness l #attacking a toddler is apparently ok as long as you hate them #killing people is ok as long as you think they���ll eventually do evil #abuse justifies itself #god this is my least favorite part of the book
