pretty perfect height wise! ⭐ -could be slighty too short in this version, though i've seen a bunch of other canes from this musical that look taller then this, but this really works!

end tip as wide as the cane 🤔 -not bad, but not that good, its just is, usually you would want a cane end tip to be a little wider then the cane itself for maximum stability

painful handle 🛑🛑 -you would want a handle that is wide and comfortable to hold, a round tip like this, while stylish, will not be comfortable for a long time, though as this cane is more for style it makes sense to be this nice, but this has to be ranked fellas!

design is pretty nice⭐⭐ -i like the whimsical aspact of this, the diffrent levels of it and the gems could be taken as little candies! and the top ball looks like a mystical ball of magic and i love that. but its important to remember that this is a stage cane, and as lovely as more detail would have been, its gonna be hard to look at it from afar in the audiance. still still, broadway costumes usually have a lot of detail just because they can, so i believe they really could have popped off more with the details on this!

actually walking with it: walks exactly right!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ -mirrors the other leg perfectly!! even as he uses it to point and extend his dramatic energy, he still uses it perfect when he does walk with it!!! mirrors the leg and in perfect angle!!!! im impressed Christian (the actor) good job

does it make sense character wise to have this spasific mobility aid: it does! ⭐ my knowlage of this version is limited, but from what i've seen of this scary and unerving motherfucker this dramatic and solid cane to be able to hit people on the head with with also having like, weee shiny stones! on makes perfect sense

STAR TOTAL ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

HMM TOTAL 🤔

FAIL TOTAL 🛑🛑

PERSONAL SCORE OF FUNCTIBILITY: 7/10

(at least he walks right with it! even if its not the best to use for the long run)

As the 2024 Election Gets Closer, This Book Summarizes the Needs of the People

“What We Want and Why We Want It” by Rev. Paul J. Bern “What We Want and Why We Want It” by Rev. Paul J. Bern: Written in a combination populist and progressive style, this faith-based nonfiction book chronicles the ongoing demise of the US middle class and what Rev.

Disturbing and Symbolic Things You Missed at The Coronation...

Listen, i dont mean to sound like a reddit atheist, but... You ever think about how evangelical Chriatians very literally believe that there will be a genocide in which billions of humans, mostly just innocent everyday people, are condemned to suffer in hell?

And, like, that's the end. That's the finale. Of everything they believe. That's their solution for the world. A final one, if you will.

And they don't rebel. They don't say "hey, wait, that's a bit much" and appeal to their God to maybe reconsider. They don't even seem to really mind.

Instead, they worship. They conjure up an image of a genocidal maniac, and they worship it. The word "praise" is bandied about a lot. Praise. For a leader whose endgoal, very transparently, is genocide.

Suddenly a lot of history makes a little more sense.

Being Serbian and not religious is complicated enough, but being queer on top of that is even more complicated and that's concerning.

You see, Serbs have a very unique history and bond with religion. Serbia was under Ottoman rule from the middle of the 15th century up until the begging of the 19th century which is a long long time. Being a part of Ottoman empire meant that they wanted to assimilate you and there were many awful things they did due but i won't go into that rn. What was weird about Ottoman empire compared to other oppressors was that they never banned different religions. Obviously your life would have been easier if you became muslim but it wasn't like they killed you for not doing that as Romans did. So Serbian people became very close to the church and it bound all of the folk customs and holidays to itself and saved them which is a great thing and I'm so thankful for that but nowadays it's impossible to separate them. Every aspect of culture is somehow made christian and Serbian people have accepted orthodox christianity as a part of their national identity. You can't imagine how many people I've met who were confused about how can someone be Serbian if they're not christian. And most of them don't even believe in God or what christianity preaches, it's a national identity for them. They can't imagine what Serbs actually are beyond the religion and it's sad.

Other important thing is that all of the holidays and customs are pagan. They have been pagan and then Serbs got christianised in a quick way which means that they just masked the paganism in chriatianity and called it a day. There's practiced whichcraft in Serbian orthodox christianity and people refuse to call it that because it's a normal christian thing for them. There's prayers, healing watter and oils, plants, various rituals for various days (not just Easter and Christmas but even those are completely different than how other christians celebrate them), there's days where you don't work or do certain things so that you don't get God angry, there's future predictions by looking in a cup or reading in the coal or hot iron and various other customs and beliefs. And no one accepts them as anything but chriatian.

So yeah separation of religion and nationality is crucial for Serbian people to move forward but it's also very hard to do and it's beneficial to the government so no one is doing anything about it. Nationalism is unfortunately on the rise among Serbian people and obviously christianity is also. There's people who are ready to fight for "holy places" and Serbian (read christian) values. There's diaspora that's trying to reconnect with their nationality and they just fall into christianty and nationalistic propaganda and it's awful. Most of these people are cowards so I have hope they won't do anything stupid as starting another war but it's still concerning. When your national identity is so strongly bound to christianty a threat to christian beliefs is a threat to your nationality and you already know who falls into that "threat" category.

Also, pagan slavic spaces got infected by fascists and white slavic supremacist? It's like what happened in nordic pagan spaces. I know I know it makes no sense for south slavs to be fascists when ww2 fascists targeted them but you have to understand that these people aren't smart enough to understand that and are egoistic enough to twist things to better suit their beliefs.

That's why queer Slavs and queer folk art and queer history of slavs is so important and even revolutionary in times and places like these. And of course this post is not against christians. One of my favorite things are loving non bigoted christians, especially if they are queer themselves.

hi i don't think i've mentioned how much i love your names, they are all so cool, i'm almost jealous

Thanks!!! All of my names have incredibly cringe back stories which is what makes them so cool imo. 2 of them Iifted off friends, 1 is a nickname I had in elementary school for eating several leaves daily (you are what you eat after all), 2 more are from a cringe book series my IRL friends and I made in middle school that is dog shit and I love it, and the final one is a variant spelling from a Judaic/Mesopotamian myth about Adam's first wife/the primordial she-devil, as a demonic & non-chriatian inversion of my "holy" biblical deadname.

#asks #I love my names #the trick is for it to be horrible and then connect with it and use it anyways #Lillith has a more personal connection of course but leaf and rabies are also high on the list

Seraphim

Who said that Seraphim were angels? Same with the Cherubim, or the Wheels

I argue that they are not angels, in the Traditional Sense of the Words. In order to understand, we need to understand a number of concepts, beginning with:

Animal Spirits

In the Journal of Discourses, Brother Brigham said that all life has Spirit. This quote (aside from being unashamedly animist) suggests that Plants & Animals have Spirits of their own, and can achieve some level of Glory. We also see this in D&C 77, where Joseph is told the 4 Beasts in Revelation are animals who have fulfilled their roles, and merited the greatest reward of being in the presence of God. And there are animals who merit that reward on Earth (22 the Wolf from Yellowstone is my favorite example. Also, Joseph Smith's Horse. Remember, God said that a Horse is getting into the Celestial Kingdom. You're his children)

Also, in the End of Revelation, John speaks of Trees in the Celestial Kingdom. Revelation is Symbolic, but since Animals have Spirits can can be Glorified (in their sphere), than why not plants

Evolution

"What does Evolution have to do with this," you may ask. Well, just be patient.

I unashamedly believe in Evolution. And this relates to the 4 Beasts. They are:

Lion-like

Eagle-like

Man-like

Ox-like

These are known in Judaism as the "Chaiyot," or the "Living Creatures." These are Cherubim in Chriatianity. This relates to another Brigham Quote. Many speakers in the JoD speak of life (plant and animal) being transplanted to this Earth. My theory is that these creatures are Glorified Beings who, like Adam, came to this Earth, and fathered their races. The reason for so much diversity is because life evolved. However, it wasn't in a vacuum, as life existed outside of these spheres. This is why we have fish, and dogs, and lizards (although, that means my cats are the descendants of Celestial Beings)

To make it short, Cherubim are from another planet, who are the ancestors of a variety of life on this Earth

Etymology

Let's look at the word Seraphim itself. Seraph means "Flaming." This is a fair description of Celestial Beings of all sorts, so we need to be more specific. It is also used to denote Serpent (snake). Despite our current negative associations, Snakes were seen as positive in the Ancient World, denoting Rebirth & Wisdom

In addition, the Book of Enoch specifically calls the Seraphim "Dragons," and there is no evidence that Seraphim were considered Angelic Beings until after the First Century

Bringing it together

In Isaiah's Vision, this all comes together. Isaiah sees God sitting on his Throne (Ophanim, or the Wheels in Wheels), surrounded by Seraphim singing praises. Seraphim are flaming serpents with 6 wings, covering their body with 4 of them. One of them purifies Isaiah with a Coal from the Alter of Incense. If the Seraphim are Dragons, then this action is Symbolic of the Spirit (Fire) cleansing Isaiah (Rebirth through the Atonement) and giving Wisdom

Ultimately, I think it's beautiful that (if this theory is true) God wanted his pets there with him, and he was able to find a way to use them. I wonder if, when I'm Exalted, if I'll be able to use my Cats to help me
