Get your Son-glasses on.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: Star Trek. Look it up. Alright, alright, so in the Bible, Jesus takes a few of His disciples to the top of a mountain and transfigures in front of them. His face shines like the sun and some other stuff happens. In this comic, Peter comments that Jesus's face is glowing like the sun, making Him the "Sun of God" as opposed to the "Son of God". "Sun" and "son" are pronounced the same in English, so... yeah... I guess that's it. One more ridiculously simple pun for the ol' Tomics records. Historians will look back upon the majesty of my work and groan.

THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT JAMES THE GREATER (Santiago Mayor) Feast Day: July 25

James, the brother of John the Evangelist, is called the 'Great', or the 'Elder,' to distinguish him from the other apostle of the same name who was younger.

In the Holy Gospels, the two brothers were fishing with their father, Zebedee, when Jesus invited them to follow him. Jesus gave them the name Boanerges, meaning 'sons of thunder', because of their impetuous temper. For example, when a Samaritan town refused to entertain Christ, they suggested that he should call down fire from heaven to consume it. Before Pentecost, their vocation was still imperfect, as it appeared when their mother asked Jesus to let them sit in his kingdom on his left and right hand.

James, with Peter and John, had the privilege to witness the transfiguration on Mount Tabor, and he was the first among the apostles to die as a martyr. In the Acts of the Apostles, James was captured and condemned to death at the hands of King Herod Agrippa. His accuser was so impressed by his courage that he was converted to Christianity and was beheaded with him.

Tradition says that James preached the Gospel as far as Spain, which was considered the end of the earth. His body was later transferred from Jerusalem to Santiago de Compostela Cathedral in Spain, which since the Middle Ages, has become one of the greatest centers of pilgrimages.

Reg sneaking into his dorm at 2am, uniform a little dishevelled

Barty, turning the light on and stroking a cat like a bond villain: why hello, you're out awfully late

Reg: ...uhm-

Evan, appearing in the shadows next to Barty: it's dreadfully strange how the light affects the colours of ties

Reg:

Reg: merde

Lalla Ward makes a brief appearance as Lady Augusta, intended bride to an ill-fated aristocrat, in A Ghost Story for Christmas: The Ash Tree (BBC, 1975)

#fave spotting #lalla ward #doctor who #a ghost story for christmas #the ash tree #1975 #romana #romana ii #spoilers for the ash tree ig????#i mean it's pretty obvious from the outset that Ed Petherbridge's aristo is not in for a good time #i mean he's a Jamesian protagonist for one thing....#lalla had been acting since the beginning of the decade‚ with a fair number of one off appearances on tv and the odd film to her name #(most notably Hammer's Vampire Circus). she was still a few years off DW and genre immortality at this point #it isn't the most rewarding role; James (who i don't think many would argue that he wasn't a bit of a chauvinist) rarely featured #significant women characters in his work (a large number of them being academical in setting didn't help). actually the ash tree #is something of an outlier in that regard‚ as it does feature a significant female character in Mrs. Mothersole‚ but we can hardly consider #her a positive feminine presence... actually one of Lawrence Gordon Clark's regrets about this particular entry in the Ghost Story for #Christmas canon is the failure of him and writer David Rudkin to make a true villain of Mothersile; Clark felt that their shared sympathies #for the historical victims of witchhunting prevented them from capturing the 'evil' of the character (tho it's debatable how much James #himself intended her to be truly evil; this is just Clark's opinion after all‚ and fwiw i think Rudkin's greater complexity of the #character is more interesting‚ more believable and more appropriate)#i rambled. anyway yes‚ not a meaty role perhaps‚ but Lalla sinks her teeth in all the same and in just a few brief scenes successfully #creates a vivid and fully realised character‚ a charming and flirtatious fiancée with something of a rebellious streak #no ash tree post bc i made one the last time i watched it a couple of years ago

obsessed with how heavily James is associated with Hell and Grace with Heaven in the Midnight Heir. it makes both their characters so... untouchable. there's something too grand about them, too beautiful and too unknowable to be real. and it forces them to be separated from everyone else, for what can equal Heaven and Hell itself?? even they themselves are total opposites. CC should have let their fucked up romance have more of a moment it would have been so so good. just get rid of that damn bracelet we don't need it.

#this doesn't make any sense but you get the idea <3 #also hear me out. then Cordelia would be earth.#like she is neither glorious or all encompassing like they are. and it's her greatest strength #she has not become something greater than she is. she is simply human <3 #yes this is inspired by vic rereading tmh how could you tell??#bella talks #the midnight heir #james herondale #grace blackthorn #cordelia carstairs #the last hours #tsc #tlh #the shadowhunter chronicles

"Regulus looks up, furrowing his brow. James is humming, cross legged and bent over the trophy in his lap. His dark brown curls, wild as ever, brush over his eyes gently. He’s focused intently on his task. Regulus' chest feels tense, as if something is rapidly outgrowing his ribcage. His breath catches in his throat, fingers tightening on the book resting against his knees. He tries to shove it down, but then James traps his tongue between his teeth, scrubbing at a particular spot on the shining silver. His lips are pink and slightly wet, white teeth digging in just a little. Regulus can’t take his eyes off his mouth. What would James do? What would he think? If Regulus put down his book, walked over, knelt in front of him, grabbed his chin and-

James looks up, eye’s instantly meeting his. “What?”

Regulus takes a sharp breath. “Nothing.” He looks back at the page. “You missed a spot.”

He feels more than sees James’s grin. "

Man this slow burn is taking me out just kiss and get on with it already I'm begging you its killing me to write this slowly

I wonder how it would have changed things if they had gone with what the admiralty wanted and put James at the helm. Would he have listened to croziers warnings? What would have motivated him in this expedition? He was only there to add another coat of gold to his great gilded story. He wanted to prove himself. When things began to turn bad, would he have buckled? Would he have confided in someone his fears and anxieties of leadership? If we go in order of who the admiralty wanted to lead, then crozier would be his second and Franklin his third. He had no experience out in the arctic, he'd have to rely on the counsel of his officers and commanders. Very interesting...

#this would change a lot #the terror #would james make a greater attempt to bridge the animosity between himself and crozier?#probably not at first #maybe during the first winter frozen in but i dont know #im going to be chewing on this for a bit

Wait, in what way did James acknowledge you?

thank you for asking because i love telling this story to everyone i meet 🤗🤗

basically, i’d been crying like three songs before the set was over and i was still crying when they were saying their goodbyes. i was up on my boyfriend's shoulders (still crying) and as james was walking past he winked at me and waved and then as he was walking off he said “thank you baby” and i was still fucking crying. i did not stop crying until i got home. i still cry about it now.

#alana's thoughts #metallica #james hetfield #so yeah #i tell it in much greater detail when i'm talking #but that's the basics #i'll never forget it #i was talking to one of my friends on here after and she convinced me he spoke ab me afterwards #and i've convinced myself he remembers me #please they need to come back to the uk asap i need to see them again

The Last Supper, but Judas makes it weird.

Weirder than betraying God, that is.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: Jesus originally just says that one of His apostles will betray him. In this cartoon, He specifies that the one who's invading His personal space is the betrayer. John and James (to Jesus's right and left) both recoil at the thought and start arguing with the others about who could betray Jesus. Meanwhile, Judas coyly says it couldn't be him. Thomas presses "X" to doubt that.
