My mom and dad turned Christian after going to a church on the peak of a mountain (our family is not religious irl) and began to sing a new Crane Wives song made of Bible verses. I hated the idea, but the song was so powerful I cried my eyes out during the chorus.

It actually makes perfect sense that Ozzie is into consent. He‘s a demon, after all.

Let me explain.

If you think about it, there aren‘t actually many stories of either demons or fairies or any other kind of trickster ever forcing humans into anything.

They are going to fuck you over, sure, but they usually let YOU make a mistake first.

They bargain, goad you on, trick you.

The devil builds a bridge, he doesn‘t just abduct your firstborn. The fairies put food in front of you, they don‘t force you to eat. Succubi feed off your sexual energy, they don‘t magically make you horny.

Sin/transgression/damnation has to be a choice to mean anything.

See also: Nearly every horror movie ever. If that kid hadn‘t gone into the creepy attic (literal transgression), he wouldn‘t be possessed. If the camp counsellors hadn‘t been either fucking or pranking people, they wouldn‘t be getting axed.

The snake couldn‘t just shove the apple into Eve‘s mouth while she was sleeping, either.

Of course a demon would be interested in having consent on all sides. That‘s more people sinning, after all.

(And for the few weirdos who use Raphael from bg3 as an example of how evil a real demon should be… What is his big thing again…? Starts with c, ends with ontracts…?)

#and we‘ll not even talk about how marriage only really became a sacrament around 1500 bc for the church every kind of sex was sin #and the fact we had to have sex to make more humans was one of the greatest calamities of human existence #even enjoying having sex with your spouse absolutely used to be a sin #seriously you guys should read some of the church fathers they‘re a riot #helluva boss #helluva boss asmodeus #helluva boss ozzie

Mother's Day can be a painful reminder, so here's a salute to all the kids and adult children who grew up with absent mothers, angry mothers, negligent mothers, abusive mothers, overly-critical mothers, codependent mothers, overwhelmed and struggling mothers, mothers who ignored your cries for help, mothers who sacrificed your happiness to placate others, mothers who tried to do better but failed, and mothers who didn't try quite hard enough.

And to every child and adult who has a complicated relationship with their mother or caretaker--it's okay to feel conflicted. It's okay to feel hurt and love and resentment and pain and sympathy and longing and guilt bundled up into one big tangled ball. It's okay to struggle to reconcile the bad memories with the good ones that simultaneously exist. It's okay to be angry about the ways your parent failed you, and also aware of their personal struggles, and the way their parents in turn failed them. It's okay to recognize that you were loved but also that you were treated unfairly, unkindly. Contradictions are the natural state of the world. Multiple truths coexist. It's okay to be conflicted.

Parents are humans. Human relationships are complicated, and cannot be summarized by a greeting card. Wherever you are coming from, I hope your future holds healing and love, love, love.

#not a shitpost #serious post #abuse mention #neglect mention #mother's day #If you think im singling out moms just wait until father's day #you think martin luther had shit to say when he nailed 95 theses to a church door? bitch I'll double that

Also "you shouldn't protest outside religious institutions it looks bad" I have some bad news for you about where one of the main places fascists and reactionaries like to use to speak and spread their toxic tar pit ideas

#if people can't protest outside synagogues they also can't protest outside First Racist Baptist Church when Father Klansman comes to speak #you can't have it both ways dumbass

THE BROTHERS SFORZA

augh. there sure is a lot going on between them. tfw you know your older brother is wary of you so you have to navigate that fine line of proving you're useful, but not dangerously so. tfw your younger brother has the potential to be a knife in your back, but he's your brother. don't think too hard about what happened with the galeazzo. unfortunately, you're both visconti as well as sforza, and the visconti were prone to conspiracy. fucking RIP.

this definitely won't be upsetting years down the line when ascanio is near death and ludovico will be desperate to figure out how to bring his brother's body back to milan so ascanio can be interred in the same place as ludovico's recently deceased wife, beatrice d'este, and where ludovico himself has been haunting in a perpetual state of grief.

& the background of the first panel are public domain scans of two cards out of the visconti-sforza tarot deck.

#ABSOLUTELY BANANAS PHRASING abt one of these paragraphs btw #'metafora della sottomissione del figlio al padre' okay!! like going into that dynamic with your older brother is so. sooooooooooooo #like it makes sense. this is a dynast family. the father is dead. the eldest son was assassinated. #so now your older brother who was not the eldest brother WOULD assume the father-head of household role #and in the case of an emergency. you would fall into place as his right hand #which was. which was formerly occupied by your mother. and your older sister to the assassinated brother. so. WELL #that IS how you would prove you were useful to the state-household. it's just that. #NOBILITY IS SO FUCKING INSULAR ALL THE TIME. christ #the claustrophobia of being suspicious of your brother but having to rely on him #better to follow the plan your parents and eldest brother had in mind and marry him off to the church #italian renaissance tag #ascanio sforza #ludovico sforza #komiks tag #drawing tag #anyway eventually i'll figure out an art style i like for the renaissance cast. i think im getting close #but AUGH im still missing that feeling of 'yes. good.' im leaning towards the dead lineweight tho. that feels Right.
