The more I learn about judaism the more I wonder where tf christianity got all its bad shit. Why is divorce a sin in christianity when judaism has recognized the right to divorce for nearly a millennia and has codified religious laws for it. Why does christianity consider sex to be dirty (to the point where puritans considered it a sin to enjoy having sex with your own spouse) when in judaism it's considered holy and it's a literal mitzvah to have sex with your spouse on the sabbath. Why does christianity consider it a sign that you're faithless if you question your religion when in judaism that's considered an essential part to developing your faith. I'm probably stating the obvious here but I still can't get over the fact that there's no historical basis to any of this shit before christianity started, it's like christians just said "hey guys what if we took the torah and built a new religion around it but this time it was actively hostile to human life"

#rambling #disclaimer this isnt about individual christians im speaking about the religious trauma i experienced in my own life etc etc #these are just a few examples that I've noticed but they're definitely something #the part about sex in particular shocked me bc sex is pretty much viewed as actively evil in a lot of christian denominations #like you should only do it to create children and if you take pleasure in it (even if its with your own spouse) youre a dirty sinner #there arent as many examples like this nowadays but if you read puritan laws about sex it's like #you're allowed to have sex with your wife basically 10 times a year but you have to be fully clothed with the lights off #and you cant have sex on a holiday or a sunday and you cant touch each other and you have to try as hard as possible to hate it #literally WHERE did that mindset come from?? like for real #in judaism having sex with your spouse is basically considered a celebration of everything holy #and if you have sex on the sabbath (the holiest day in the jewish calendar—above every holiday) #its considered TWICE as holy #make it make sense #this is one of the things people mean when they say that lumping judaism in with christianity as 'abrahamic' religions is meaningless #theyre literally nothing alike #the only similarity is the torah but thats only half of the christian bible and one third of the jewish one #AND christianity interprets most of it completely differently from how judaism does #im tired #greatest hits #hall of fame

Now I'm curious cause of your tag. What did Swedish media say about the eurovision thing?

Oof yeah, here's a post detailing it ... here another... Basically they've absolutely flipped over the fact that Finnish public didn't give Loreen points at all (which I find absolutely hilarious) and suddenly started wielding such rhetoric as "the former eastern part of our kingdom" referring to Finland, which is???? like??? do I even need to say how Not Okay that is?

It might seem to some that the Finnish people are reacting to Sweden's (unfair) win and them being sore winners (which, points to them, I didn't know was possible!) with too much drama, but it's all tied to our history together. Finland has traditionally seen itself, and has been seen by other countries (Sweden included) as the sort of "little brother" to the more advanced, better-faring, glorious Sweden. While Sweden to my knowledge doesn't much care about what Finland gets up to (perhaps overlooking/ignoring us and our merits), Finland is always comparing itself to Sweden and trying to live up to it. It's a very common rhetoric and sort of, the atmosphere over here. We know more about Sweden than Sweden knows about us; we're constantly conscious that Sweden exists. Sweden gets talked about in international news; Finland, if mentioned, is often tied to - you guessed it - being Sweden's neighboring country.

We used to be part of Sweden for 600 years. During that time, Swedish was implemented as the language of the culture and the "civilised" whereas the finns living in the eAstErn pArT oF tHe kiNgDoM were seen as "wild" and "uncivilised" and just, generally a lesser people to the Swedish speaking population. We haven't been under Sweden's rule for some 200 years and STILL we can't seem to shake their influence on us. Swedish is still a mandatory language to learn at school (and I have many opinions on that, but that'd be another post). Finnish as a language has been disregarded for its whole existence. Our leading national thinkers and poets in the 19th century, who were the first ones to really push for the Finnish identity instead of us seeing ourselves as part of Sweden or Russia, wrote in Swedish. The first novel in Finnish was published in 1870.

So this is monumental to us, to have the whole word watching Finland and not Sweden. Finland has a lot of merits, especially considering how small a people we are (just 5,5mil). To have a song in our language, in Finnish be this popular, is something we couldn't have imagined. We as a people are humble to the extreme, so much that we might easily scorn anyone who is too successful (not a good thing!), and this is the first time in my life that I'm seeing the whole country rally behind someone like this. When we say "Our Jere" we mean it with our whole hearts. We're so so proud of him, everyone is, and for once Finnish people seem to think in unison that someone deserves all the praise and the success.

SO, to have Sweden in this UNIQUE moment of Finland raising its head and being "we're so amazing", with the rest of Europe going "yes you're so amazing!!", spew rhetoric like this, is just, unbelievable to me. Like I can't just believe that in the 21st century there are people in Sweden who hold up 200 year old thought patterns of our country. It's been shocking 'cos though there's always been rivalry, it's felt more... tongue in cheek. We "love to hate" Sweden over here. It's been "I hate Sweden (affectionate)". But now we find this unbelievably condescending and belittling attitude towards us raising its head, and we wonder, we thought we two were okay?? But have they always held these beliefs???

So there's a sense of betrayal in the air as well. And just, full on disbelief. And maybe we're starting to see that it has been like this all along, but we've decided to turn a blind eye to it? True colours shining through? Perhaps not... but yeah.

Sweden not looking good here!

(here's one more post that says the same that i did but was better at making it SHORT oops)

#eurovision #finland #sweden #käärijä #loreen #look i have nothing against loreen or individual swedish people #i don't believe most swedes would think like this! #still to have something like this in a piece of media over there is... wild #and somewhat telling? #welp #bit of a long answer but there's more to this mess than just what's happening now #it's 800 years of shared history that we understand without it needing to be said #at least i think so! #if anyone has anything to add/discuss please go ahead! #anonymous #answered #the finnish people have a forever inferior complex when it comes to sweden and now the one time the world actually sees us sweden's like #'such dumb people :( we won look at our trophy. stop celebrating the circus act' #they're just jealous we have the crazy we have the party #:) <3 i wrote this cos i'm hiding from work heheh #esc23 #suomi

Critical Role is just such a warm and wonderful gift for wlw representation.

We have the two who saw each other from opposite ends of a bumpy broken road, who braved rain and thunderstorms and faced obstacles and hurdles but were always on track towards each other - even when they didn't know they were, even when they couldn't see they were - until the rain got lighter and they started walking with purpose. And then they finally reached each other in the middle, embraced and never let go.

And we have the two who started on a bumpy broken road together, who are braving red sand storms and go over obstacles and hurdles side by side and where at some point intertwining each others hands for support and comfort - so that they always know they're still walking together, even when they can't see and there's too much sand in their eyes - and then never letting go was just the right descision to make.

#this is a positivity post #please don't come here to argue about which ship is better #they're so different #and therefore offer different meanings #different ways to relate #and a different catharsis #to every individual who's watching #and that in itself is meaningful and amazing #we all enjoy different things #and cr has something to relate to #for so many different queer experiences at this point #we should celebrate that! #critical role #imodna #beauyasha #wlw #cr3 #cr2 #cr spoilers

Woah, the Guys are getting their Apocalypse Christmas after all!

Doing the tagging rq: @xpau-official / @kuuuuro

I had a great time drawing these guys on this card base, and it's great to see that xpau is continuing on the legacy of cpau! Glad I stumbled across the account!

Other notes that I'm holding under here:

These guys are Dust, Geno, and Reaper, but from my lil au called Ec-4o.verse! Their universe has been in an odd robotic apocalypse for decades, and they're some of the few monsters who actually *remember* what Christmas is besides the robots w/ history files. It's a plot-point that there's a 'snow' and they decide to show their younger members of their survival group what Christmas was ♡

Also, these sweaters were designed by @satsukidoodles404 my wonderful partner in crime for the Ec-4o.verse project! Last year they drew these three in Christmas outfits, and I never had the chance to doodle them! (And Dust's Dino pants were a suggestion from @/neonsix67, my roomie, cuz I felt like Dust would wear Christmas pj pants too.)

I was gonna add in Blue and Horror (the two who would be the most enamored by the idea of a holiday) but I didn't have the energy lmao-)

#xpau card #utmv #utmv art #utmv sans #my art #ec-4o.verse #the sillies #Dust #Geno #Reaper #(don't mind this ->) #dustedafterdeath #for additional context: #they're all boss monsters and have extended lifespans #they also were individually never really guys to celebrate the holidays #but when ur in the apocalypse??? some whimsy and presents are in order #OH #and I'm so glad I stumbled over xpau cuz like... amazing

what i love about the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi of it all is that...it's not just that he's famous and therefore widely recognizable wherever he goes. like yes that is very funny because he was an exorcist before he became a famous actor, which means he CHOSE, on purpose, a day job that would make it harder to hide his double life/secret identity from the hordes of his adoring public, but it's more than that. it's not just that he's famous, it's that he's famous specifically for being an ACTOR, aka a person whose job it is to dissimulate, to make believe, to inhabit roles and emotions other than his own. like he decided he was going to become as visible as possible (which again was literally not necessary! he could have gone into any other career for his day job!!) but in such a way that everyone would see him but no one would see him - they would just see his various made-up personas, including the Famous Actor Natori Shuuichi persona. i can't decide if he's a genius or if he just made so many absurd decisions that they canceled each other out and circled back around to working out. he's either playing 9-dimensional chess or he's eating the pieces. too soon to say.

#the other thing i love about it is that in a very real sense it's his actor day job that is his alter ego #being an exorcist is his normie job. he's just a famous celebrity on the side #which isn't that uncommon in secret identity setups but it's still very funny #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #natori shuuichi #natsuyuu meta #my posts #f #i think probably the actual answer is that acting was a very natural career choice because he already masks so extensively #both to hide that he can see things other people can't (and that youkai exist and that he exorcises them) #and to hide what he's really feeling so that no one can use it against him #so if it's already something he has to do & he's good at it...why not have someone tell him exactly how to do it & get paid for it? #and the other part of the answer is that most ppl don't go into acting assuming they'll get famous. the fame was a side effect #so each decision as it was being made probably made perfect sense. but put them all together #and you have this hilarious assortment of elements that seem to directly contradict each other #okay also i would be remiss if i didn't mention the other possible answer which is that the attention came first and was unavoidable #and the acting developed from the need to protect himself from the attention that he was going to be attracting no matter what he did #because he's so beautiful. and (in the exorcist world specifically) because he's the last of the natori #the more i talk about it the more i'm like no becoming a famous actor was the only path that made any sense for him lol #1) he's gonna be watched no matter what bc he's him -> gotta figure out how to hide his secrets -> learn to act as self-defense #or 2) he's got secrets -> he's gotten a lot of practice hiding them -> hey you could make a career out of this! #all roads lead to actor natori shuuichi. and since he's beautiful...all roads lead to FAMOUS actor natori shuuichi #i love it when i ramble so much in the tags that i end up contradicting my own post lol #he's neither thinking ten steps ahead nor is he irrational. he's simply making sensible individual decisions #that follow logically from what is available to him and what his priorities are

Me one month ago, with extreme self assurance: The number one most important thing Ted Lasso has done for me is canonise Pep for realsies. The implications about Jamie's time at City under Pep are fundamental to his entire arc and here's why. Also, cuddles. I bet we get a cameo at the Etihad match.

Me now, rolling around screaming in shock: 😮 They CANONISED PEP. 😮For REALSIES. 😮 The IMPLICATIONS. 😮 About Jamie's TIME at CITY. 😮 Also, CUDDLES. 😮 We got a CAMEO. 😮 At the ETIHAD match. 😮

#jamie tartt #pep guardiola #never getting over this #ever #jamie calling him boss! #jamie refusing to do a goal celebration! #jamie getting subbed off for an individual ovation from the city fans! #jamie tartt: he's one of our own #the tongue thing was so pep #i cannot believe #ted lasso

#guy who finally got round to watching the zelda orchestra concert uugghhhfghh #you don’t get it you don’t get it the fucking sheer what humanity??? joy???? love???? in being in a music ensemble like an orchestra #everyone is individuals but right now each person is music as one and we’re all music and the audience are crucial #because you too are the music and for at least one brief moment this is all we are. the sounds and the melody and the rhythms and the music #vvvbvhbbbbvbhbbbvv #cggghjbvvhjjbvb. AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #and the music has always been there abd the music will always be there as time continues to pass #there will always be music in any given moment #but the fact that we come together to specifically create and celebrate music is beautiful beyond understanding #and the truth is there’s music in everything ever because every living thing has some intrinsic level of rhythm and melody #the way you walk. the way the wind blows the sound of your voice the birds singing the sound the leaves make the rain on a shelter #it’s all music. it’s all song #anyway i’m gonna go explode or something gbjbvvghjffch music music i love you music #ezra likes music #<- nee fucking way

One might say that contributing massively to a climate catastrophe that directly results in unhousing and displacing millions of people ALSO jeopardizes their right to privacy

#love and light to my switfie mutuals #I think her songs bop #but you know what I actually think this kind of blatent disrespect for collective humanity inherently sacrafices an inherent part #of one's individual humanity too #no war but the class war and eat the rich until a celebrity says they're feelings are hurt #taylor swift #for your block list

I think everybody's weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.

quick update

Hola everyone!

Just writing a thing to say I SEE all the messages that've been sent to my inbox and I'll promise I'll get round to them soon! I've been doing National Novel-Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) this year (as well as some job-huntng lolol) and it's taken up a lot of my spare mental energy. Low-key it feels like all I can do to make sure that the queue doesn't run out of submissions xD

Next month I'll get to everyone's image requests - promise! - and also to those 10K celebrations I mentioned a little while ago! (I've been cooking some stuff up behind the scenes for that milestone, don't y'all worry)

And. Yeah that's about it from me. Stay tuned, thank you for your patience, love y'all, adios <3

#'Mr Reaction Images Guy why do you let the stuff in your inbox build up to begin with' well my dear strawman #I have autism and my executives have a nasty habit of dysfunctioning #and when I'm trying to knock out 50k words in 4 weeks I don't have the spare mental bandwidth to get them to behave #T_T #but anyways yeah I wanted to make a post just kinda acknowledging/appreciating the fact that people are asking me stuff #I've gotten a couple of very nice messages as well as the image requests and it's like: I see you and I love you #(and I'll get to you individually before the end of the year) #(ALSO maybe I got excited and wanted to tease the 10k celebration because dohohoh I have An Idea Or Two) #not a pic
