#the cross is real!!!!!!!!!!!

[itspileofgoodthings]

I only half believe this because I truly believe that doing the right thing can be synonymous with doing the hardest and most painful thing but also——

good solid and true moral wisdom doesn’t hurt you past the point of ever healing or being able to function. if someone is recommending a course of action to you and it‘s tearing you apart to contemplate it or to follow it there’s probably something wrong with that advice.

#or let me put it this way. God’s wounds are pure wounds. they’re clean #they take courage to embrace and to face and they absolutely do hurt!!!!!!!!!!! #but they don’t fester and they don’t torture and they don’t unsettle #so if you’re trying to follow moral advice that does any of those things …… it probably ain’t if fam #there’s a lot of nuance to be added here re: developing your own conscience and doing a certain amount of strength training and refining #in your own emotional life #but like. yeah. #it was really important to me for a while —that concept of doing the hard thing can break your heart #and it still is!!!! but actually there is a martyr-ish blindness that thinks the path of virtue is paved with thorns #that unrelentingly tear you to pieces and it’s like …………. #1) grow up #2) the path IS thorny and narrow #the cross is real!!!!!!!!!!! #the cross also brings peace. #not as the world gives sure! #but !! it !!!!!! is !!!!!!!!!! peace !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #it is not torture #if you are constantly tormented by trying to live a certain way that is your body/soul trying to tell you something is wrong #your comfort is not the ultimate test of whether or not something is the right moral course of action!!! #but it is PART of discerning it #you need to calm down!!!!!!!!! smell some roses!!!!!!!!!! and take the most common sense advice you can!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #if you're stuck in a toxically morally evil situation then yeah. it will take a knife to set you free #but it will not continue to needle you forever! there will be peace even in the sharpest wound of it #there's either emotional self-indulgence where the pain is something you're holding ONTO or the situation causing it is bad!!! #anyway i feel i still need to distinguish between the kinds of suffering but i'm talking about the panicky never-ending festering kind #we ARE actually pretty good at figuring out if we're at peace underneath a wound. or at least we can if we investigate #me: i can't explain! no time for nuance! also me: tries to add nuance in the tags #no idea where this came from but here you go

some lucky redditor got a bug where the drow twins scene wasn't blacked out, and turns out there's most perfect snuggle pile if you brought halsin 😭

#cult of the lamb #cotl kallamar #fio draws #fun fact for those who definitely won’t notice #this is based on the chess game that the Mayor plays in Homestuck on page 721 #which itself is based on a real chess game #i couldn’t just be normal about this i had to cross reference an actual chess game #just to make a reference that nobody will notice because the angle makes it impossible to tell #anyway. better view of kallamar and shaun’s scrubs in this one #i’m normal

"it's bury your gays" they're all gay one of them just died "well it's bury your gay elders" Fang is older than Izzy and he's still kicking, "it's bury your disabled gays" Lucius, Ed, and Spanish Jackie, still around. "What about the people who come out late in life???" Stede divorced his wife at the ripe old age of 48, he's living in a seaside cabin with his boyfriend. "It's saying that people who are repressed/struggle with internalized homophobia deserve to die" *Regina George* so you agree, he's homophobic, but also, once again, Stede's still breathing. "But-"

You know you can be upset about your favorite side character dying without making up reasons the show is secretly bad

#anyway i remain the chad calico jack stan (watched him take a cannon ball to the chest and laughed) #cross the virgin izzy stan (watched Izzy die and made up reasons why ofmd is irredeemable media) #anyway you dont have to make shit up #it has real problems

You ever think about Crocodile's pre midlife crisis disillusionment-with-piracy look? I think about it a lot.

I am completely normal about this.

hm. the final two being scott and cleo. at some point i need to like, properly write an analysis post about scott and cleo and the ways that they like... so the thing is that even since third life the two of them have always kind of fallen back and leaned on each other. widow's alliance to gaslight gatekeep girlboss to chosen soulmates to technically being on different teams from then on but were they really. to "we can't team up again we're too good" in secret life to "he's kind of like your bdubs" in that same series when cleo just sort of assumed they were on the same side anyway (by the way STILL an insane way to put that etho). to teaming up again this time to being the final two to laughing and having fun until the end until a zombie kills scott (like a zombie helped scott kill ren) until cleo doesn't have to be the one to make the final blow. to the "we always do this we always gravitate to each other".

the thing is that it's not so much that they're soulmates, exactly (it's kind of a defining thing about them that they aren't), or that they're one of those star-crossed pairs the life series keeps producing (they don't shape each other, not really). it's that they're both, in the end, always there. a stable pair, a lighthouse and a ship in a storm. the thing that makes them different from so many duos is that there isn't really conflict, not really; they know the shape of one another. their first alliance will often be someone else; their first alliance is also to each other, no matter what they say.

so of course they laughed as they fought in the end.

it was them. it was never really a fight in the first place.

#real life smp #real life spoilers #trafficblr #zombiecleo #scott smajor #am i making any sense. #they're like fascinating to me because they are NOT one of the star-crossed dramatic pairs of the life series #and tbh i do not see it as a ship in any way either #but they are. a pair. they're just... a stable bonded pair. it's not something that's going to change either of them. #but it's something that is always going to be there.
