The pope taking y/n for a ride in the popemobile? I love this blog

Thank you, child of Christ. I'm sorry it took a while to respond.

----

You have been asking Francis about the popemobile for some time now. Each time, he becomes cagey and distant, like when you ask him about the Dirty War.

One day he asks, "Why would you want such a thing?"

The question takes you by surprise. It had never occurred to you that he might not enjoy riding in the popemobile, that tending God's flock might be frightening rather than invigorating. "I could help," you say.

Francis looks troubled, and says no more.

----

One Tuesday after Mass, Francis summons you to St. Peter's Basilica.

It is before visiting hours, before the masses of gathered faithful come to pay their respects, before the disorganized scene you've always seen. This is quiet, more peaceful, holy. You try to express as much to Francis, who says, "It is always holy, my child."

"I know. But..."

"One can forget how."

The two of you continue on, silent, thoughtful. He pauses occasionally to speak to a custodian or security guard in his melodic Italian, asking after their children, wives, personal lives. When you're quite sure none are listening, you ask, "Is this about the Popemobile?"

He smiles slightly, in the knowing way that lets you know you have guessed correctly. "Do you know its history?"

You shake your head. Briefly he tells you about the palanquins that used to carry popes, their replacement with standard cars, standard cars' replacement with bulletproof ones. Standing before the tomb of Pope John Paul II, you consider the full weight of what he's saying.

"The Romans, pagan though they were, had some wisdoms," he goes on. "The memento mori, among them. We kept some remnants from them, being as we are in Rome. The popemobile is one such remnant, a reminder that I will die, not that I am alive."

With that he leaves you in the silence of the Basilica, to ponder the echoes of his departing footsteps as he returns to his chambers to get ready for the day.

----

The next time Francis is scheduled to go in the popemobile, you beat him there by five minutes, managing to look calm and composed by the time he arrives.

He says nothing, though you can feel his smile gracing the top of your skull. With deep casualness, he informs the driver that there will be another riding with him today.

As you pass through street after crowded street, the bulletproof prism of glass concentrating liquid sunshine in the very air the two of you breathe, you get the deep sense that it might not be so horrible to remember death, if all of life is like this.

whoa they can make like, the type of music you can only find six only moves down the rec engine from the least bad anime opening you've heard this year in english

#this is also why i like houston calls despite not actually being that big on pop punk #(in the pop punk period i was instead a NDH aggrotech goth which was *such* a thing back then but it got memory holed) #(probably because it wasn't that great and at the time i understood it as mostly a repression thing lmao) #(important context to keep in mind as the pendulum swings back from 'hey what if we didn't assign people entire personalities at birth' to #'what if we killed you for even suggesting that') #(which was why NDH and tradcore and so on were things) #(we all knew that's how it'd go) #Bandcamp

Mutual on my tl romanticizing the farmer tradcore wife life

[ned7-what-now]

Mom, I told you I don't have a gf because I don't have a pressure cooker or an air fryer. I'm not based and homecooking-pilled enough to attract an autistic and racist gf. I need to get more tradcore before I can do that.

[unitydruid]

Romanticizing the midcentury aesthetic but not for any of the tradcore bullshit, just cuz everyone was constantly smoking inside and it looks cool as fuck

can i request an imagine of pope francis taking the reader to pride? <3<3<3

You decide you want to bring your friend Francis to Pride someday over Lent. Though it might just be a fish deprivation flight of fancy, you start making plans. By May, you have worked up the courage to ask, and say, “Jorge, would you want to go to Pride with me?” In response he makes the emoticum subductisupercilicarptorium face (🤨) and says, “That’s not til next month.” In the end he agrees. You two settle on going to a street fair pride as to be accommodating of Francis’s sensory issues (he is neurodivergent (autistic and adhd)). While there you buy him an ace pride pin and he puts it on his cassock. You think you might be in love, maybe for the first time. But you say nothing. One day it will be the time, but why spoil a day like this...? Maybe it is better to live yearning than to ever know regret. You see now why he is so much closer to God. Maybe one day. In the distance you see the Down With Cis bus handing out free ice cream and t shirts. You suggest to Francis to go get some, and he agrees. You two meander down, but as soon as the driver sees you two, he is overcome by an insatiable bloodlust. He accelerates, killing both of you (and some innocent passersby) instantly.

One day is today.

I mean, it IS the same message that white tradcores want spread. Its like, christians scolding the fringe just doesnt seem to work well enough because nonbinary people keep existing and they cant burn us at the stake lately so what if it was someone we're committed to listening to saying it?

It seems to me that the people most invested in upholding whiteness find the binary being contested to be existentially threatening. What if theyre right? So why seek to dismantle that process?

Preroman burials dont actually contradict "white people made the binary". Theres been a lot of history since. During that time europeans were codifying gender legally across empires into a binary.

I still dont agree with xans take that black separatists are nazis

Turns out, if you absolutely despise a begleri set, make sure it’s strung the right way and at the right length, first.

I used to hate my AO2 tradcores and aluminum Mini Hydras, and it turns out they were just strung about a centimeter short each, they are now slinging *quite* nicely
