I've been reading Exodus lately and I've just gotten to the portions where God gives the first commands to the people via Moses (twice), and then goes on to give detailed instructions about the tabernacle and how it should be built, and I'm just... we think art is unimportant?? we think things only mean as much as their functionality?? we so easily fall into the trap of believing that beauty means nothing, that it's cheap and only worth whatever mindless distraction it brings, that it's barely more than a cheap sensual thrill, that buildings should just be practical and plain and cheap, that everything should be functional but ultimately disposable, that paintings and dresses and mugs and curtains and carpets are just pretty but have no real value, that beauty is fleeting and vain and therefore shouldn't be thought about too much, if even looked for at all... we fall into these traps so easily, and we forget that there are chapters upon chapters of painstakingly detailed plans to build one portable worship tent, and those plans have been handed down through thousands of years of human history, because beauty and art and skill in craft is important
#I have to go get ready for work now but I will come back to this#and don't even get me started on the parts about God calling specific craftsmen *by name*#he called them!! by name!!! he said 'this man is good at his job. he creates beautiful work. he will build my temple and make it beautiful'#and even more--God inspired him!!!! it was a calling of GOD for him to create beautiful carvings and tapestries and candlesticks!!!#look even if you're not jewish or christian or religious at all you have GOT to see what it means that all these incredibly detailed plans#for building this tent-temple are extremely important#because even if you don't believe in God and don't think that this is all significant bc he personally gave the instructions#and then helped preserve this record of them so we could still read them today#you do have to see how important they were to the people of that time who first wrote them down#and the extreme care that was taken to record all of those detail#AND the fact that it's been preserved for so long and we can still read all the care that was put into creating this incredible piece#of artwork and worship they made#gurt says stuff#I just. gahhfhhfj. I'm feeling emotional about chapters of the Bible that I can't even fully force myself to pay attention to#bc there's so MUCH and I'm bad at visualizing this stuff and I tend to zone out while listening to it#but the fact that it IS that much!!! that there SO MUCH DETAIL and it goes on for SO LONG that I even struggle to pay attention!!!#that this was THAT IMPORTANT to the people who wrote it and to God!!! as an artist and someone who has always cared about art#this means so much to me ok#christianity#bible verse#bible thoughts#exodus#art#theology

I’ve started listening to my Zutara fics (shout out to those of you who gave me suggestions on how) while crocheting and I swear I haven’t known this level of peace since I was born

btw i do think jenny was fridged. makes me a little crazy sometimes when i see people going "her death was so sad, but it was still such a powerful moment and such good writing!" no it wasn't. it was not. i will give you "powerful moment" but the amount of retconning they had to pull in order to get jenny's death to have that resonance in the first place is something y'all should really be looking at more closely.

this is such a weird niche thing, but as I’ve made friends that write fic too, I’ve noticed how much we borrow from each other and it’s just the sweetest thing. like we see someone’s headcanon and adopt it, we see how someone describes a character and mirror it, we see someone’s idea and elaborate on it. and it’s just the best part about having yall.

Kate Crackernuts is a Scottish fairytale and it is WILD. Think gender swapped 12 Dancing Princesses, except plus stepsisters who actually like each other and a sheeps head curse 😂 this was so fun to illustrate!
