#well he's an apostle

When Yuri speaks of his childhood, his eyes drop low and he scratches his neck, dances between his feet.
It is not something he's ashamed of, although he purposely makes it appear so. He does it because each time a friend or foe thinks themselves so smart and capable, picking up on his behaviour, and become all too embarrassed and promise they shan't speak of it no more, Yuri has to hold back his smile, or his thanks, for they took care of all the work for him.
Yuri wishes he didn't have to speak of his childhood, this bit had to be true. The reason as to, however, was not because of any sense of shame he could feel at having had to grovel on his knees between some old man's thighs, but rather than above all things, the nature of his childhood was the one he was to hide.
When Balthus gets too pressing about it, or Constance claims there's some dirty old secret about it, Yuri sighs with faux airs and raises his hands up like a white flag, claiming subtly to falsely give up. He tells them of a tale, old as time, of an old man who came to his village ages ago, sick and in need of nursing. He tells them he, the young and altruistic Yuri helped the man out of his misery, a blessing which was returned to him once the plague had seized their town and bled though their wounds. He tells them that, once he finally awoke, he rose as the bearer of a crest long forgotten, of Saint Aubin's long lost restored inheritance.
Yuri hides his name, not because he wanted to draw a harsh line between the past he suffered from living next to his prostitute mother, but because revealing his name would get him in far too restricting troubles with the archbishop.
Because he's certain that were she to understand Aubin still roamed the earth as the former adopted son of Count Rowe, she would put his liliac haired head on a spike for failing to bring the Goddess back to life centuries ago.
Because, all in all, Yuri is far more forgettable of a name than Aubin ever was. Because all the Apostles he once met have long since been buried under this earth, and he couldn't explain to Seiros how he, of all, survived until now.

The biggest indicator to me that dokja actually just has shit taste in novels is that he was genuinely supprised that han sooyoung(as the first apostle) was a woman

like most Christian movies risen is cheesy and biblically dubious at times and gets loads of cultural stuff wrong for the sake of being recognizable to a primarily American audience but I'll readily admit the poor roman tribune's absolute bafflement at these religious weirdos who keep talking about love and stuff has me cackling unhingedly
Like, is it sound biblical doctrine and is it historical believable? No? Is it hilarious and do I enjoy seeing this random shmuck lose his mind going through what's essentially a very disturbing psychological thriller from his pov while the disciples are overflowing with joy? You bet??
The guy is dealing with horrifyingly decomposed dead bodies trying to find the right cadaver and previously sane soldiers going crazy and dead men being spotted alive and strange supernatural phenomena and angry gods and unexplained madness and religious fanatism spreading like a contagion, and meanwhile the disciples (and Jesus) are all like HELLO BROTHER WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THE BEST NEWS EVER :D :D :D
#Help my man Clavius he didn't ask for none of this#I gotta admit this is the first time in a while I've enjoyed any part of a Christian movie#even if most of it has me rolling my eyes and going “THAT'S not how it happened”#THE DISCIPLES WOULDN'T PRONOUNCE THE NAME OF GOD AND THE HOLY SHROUD IS BOGUS (for starters)#And there was no stranger - much less a roman - when Jesus appeared to the apostles#But I AM having fun with the tonal dissonance#Poor clavius is dreaming of blood and storms and his sanity is crumbling to dust and it feels like the end of the world#while to everyone who knows what's going on it's the single greatest thing that has ever happened and ever will#Risen 2016#Resurrection#Bible movies#(Also in the list of things that get on my nerves no the spreading of the Gospel didn't hinge on one roman protecting the apostles)#(I hope they psychologically disturb that man some more he doesn't get to think he's that important)#(Centering a roman while getting some pretty basic stuff about Jewish culture wrong is also annoying)#(The beginning of the church are entirely and unambiguously JEWISH.)#(This character is like. 10 chapters too early.)#(Peter doesn't announce the Gospel to a roman until WELL after Jesus has ascended to heaven and even then it takes a direct order from God)#(And cornelius was already a follower of God and not pagan.)#(So Clavius just doesn't fit. And inserting a pagan guy as a witness to Jesus' most intimate moments with his disciples feels off)#The Gospel doesn't spill to the nations until God decrees it's time for it to happen. I don't like this romanisation#But again the first half of the movie had me laughing even though I could rant about its flaws for two hours

Rosy? Every time I look at your pics, you look so lovable and adorable that I imagine giving you a big hug. I would want you to feel really comfortable, safe, loved, and appreciated. I love your pics because they evoke those caring feelings in me and that makes me feel calm and relaxed. You never need to post any more pics, I don't want you to feel any pressure to do that. I know you have been dealing with a lot. I just want you to know you are loved and appreciated!

[A] great cabinet opposite—whose front, divided into twelve panels, bore, in grim design, the heads of the twelve apostles, each enclosed in its separate panel as in a frame; while above them at the top rose an ebon crucifix and a dying Christ. According as the shifting obscurity and flickering gleam hovered here or glanced there, it was now the bearded physician, Luke, that bent his brow; now St. John’s long hair that waved; and anon the devilish face of Judas, that grew out of the panel, and seemed gathering life and threatening a revelation of the arch-traitor—of Satan himself—in his subordinate’s form.
Congrats, Jane, you are one out of three on "people who would appear in a representation of the Twelve Apostles."

FUTURE CHANGES:
HSR VERSE: Zarina will now be absent from the Honkai story right after the destruction of Elysian Realm. Specifically, when ER has been destroyed, she runs past Kevin and Mei to bid farewell to her comrades only to be yanked from the dimension as it was able to reconnect her with Elysia the Aeon for a second. Because of that, she's been in the Honkai Universe for many more years but she is aware of Kevin's passing all the more.
HSR VERSE: Apostles of Origin meta will be written out as the followers of life, the Aeon who loves humanity and all life. There will be eight Apostles of Origin, all named after every phase of the Moon alongside having a specific flower associated with them. Elysia's flower is a pink tulip, Zarina's flower is a white lily, and the rest are unknown.
HSR VERSE: Sunday sent Zarina an invitation to Penacony as well as the elusive Apostle of Origin, inviting her to partake in the festivities with the Astral Express. This hints at the expansive capabilities of Penacony's leader to find her and figure out who/what she is as an Apostle.

So like, are Theresia and Jill ever gonna show up back in the story? Because we’ve had characters from the other previous arcs show up again, most in Falconia, such as Daiba, Silat, Rickert, and then Luca and her girls
I mean, I know not every major side character has to be there. As far as I can recall, Nina and her boyfriend are nowhere to be seen. But Theresia and Jill were pretty focused on characters in their respective arcs, and as far as I can tell, no one else from the Black Swordsman or Lost Children arcs have made any appearances (granted there’s not too many to choose from, at least of those that are still alive. In Black Swordsman’s case, I think Theresia’s the only one), and I mean, I feel like maybe at least one character from each arc should show up at some point
Not sure how they’d reappear though

“wanting to be shown mercy”

This can be a situation of 'what if' since the five beast were the first ones then what if they would be the first who began with this whole yandere chaos like- they are the ultimates obsessive over y/n cookie the fallen heroes have the first and high level O_O
-🧁 anon
Tumblr media
What If: The First.
Something has to start somewhere. Y/N Cookie is a figure beloved by all, sometimes even a little too much from certain, no wait, a large majority of the cookie population on Earthbread.
They’ve seen a lot from what levels of obsession could offer from simple clinginess to the alters and shrines many create amidst their sickly love.
Y/N Cookie was surprisingly no stranger to these gestures. After all, they’ve seen these similar types of obsessive love elsewhere.
Long ago, many years back….you were a Primordial Cookie alongside your long lasting companions, the Five Beast Cookies.
Tumblr media
You remembered all the times you’ve had with them.
The times you laughed. Shadow Milk Cookie would tell you many things about this world, but he also liked to sprinkle in some humor too. He’d even do a sort of jester act by using a puppet show, it never failed to make you chuckle at least once…
The times you chose to help others that made Mystic Flour Cookie warm with you. Your choices to make decisions that befitted your Virtue of Compassion was something of a spectacle for her. She adored that you did not question anything about showing compassion for others, some things don’t always have to come down to choice.
The times you felt safe. Red Spice and Silent Salt Cookie were your protectors. You were a cookie of compassion, but that shouldn’t mean that cookies should push you around. It made the two cookies unhappy and advise the perpetrator to back off. Red Spice was all show while Silent Salt was all quiet, but both make sure that you wouldn’t get harmed under their watch.
The times you loved. Eternal Sugar Cookie was always happy to see you. Compassion and Happiness always worked well together, so it only made sense that you were the closest to her. She’d let you join her on her cloud as you two talked the day away, Eternal Sugar being happy that she got to spend time with you in any form.
Oh, how things went south when power corrupts.
One by one, their will crumbled under the weight of their own strength. The Five became twisted apostles of evil and brought forth darkness and devastation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This corruption had also brought upon unfortunate side effects to their love for you, twisting and change until it’s nothing but sickly and dark.
Tumblr media
Shadow Milk Cookie embraced deceit into his heart, controlling and manipulating the cookies around you. His plan to make you belong to him would be to drive everyone you knew away from you whether it be by his twisted mind tricks or more lethal methods. You’d have no one left but him…
Tumblr media
Red Spice Cookie only brought nothing but destruction to whoever dared to challenge his sick obsession with you. No cookie could ever survive an encounter with him, only reduced to smoldering crumbs on the ground. No cookie has ever loved you like he has, because there’d be no one left that could…
Tumblr media
Silent Salt Cookie’s protectiveness reached insane levels you’d never expect from them. Cookies that so much as raise a hand in your presence are swiftly cut down by Silent Salt. Cookies can’t even look at you without Silent Salt putting an end to their existence. Their worry for you, and you overall, was worth the lives they stomped on.
Tumblr media
No other cookie mattered to Mystic Flour Cookie anymore that wasn’t you. She just didn’t see why you should care for any of these insignificant specks of grain as she casually waves her arm, reducing the whole landscape around her into nothing. No longer did choice matter to her, the decisions she once valued mean little to her if it didn’t help you or her out.
Tumblr media
What was once happiness has now turned into a deadly and sickly obsession with you. Eternal Sugar Cookie’s mind hazed with nothing but thoughts of you, unable to get you out of her mind. NEVER wanting to get you out of her mind. Only you could get her off her cloud, she’ll simply yawn and turn away anyone else. She believes her love for you triumphs above anyone else, gleefully obliterating anyone who thinks could challenge her…
Tumblr media
You can still hear their screams and shocked gasps when the Creators locked them away, their pained cries and shouts all becoming static in your head.
Tumblr media
The Ancient Heroes…
They’ve done well in resisting the temptation of power unlike your former comrades, their affection remaining moderate as a result.
Though, one of them have your doubts..
