Warrior Nun truly is the most fucked up fucking show in the whole fucking world isn't it
Thecla (Ancient Greek: Θέκλα, Thékla; Greek: Θέκλα; Turkish: Tekla) was a saint of the early Christian Church, and a reported follower of Paul the Apostle. The earliest record of her life comes from the ancient apocryphal Acts of Paul and Thecla.
In one scene, female beasts, particularly lionesses, protected her against her male aggressors.
It is also said that Thecla spent the rest of her life in Maaloula, a village in Syria. There, she became a healer and performed many miracles...
...but remained constantly persecuted.
In one instance, as her persecutors were about to get to her, she called out to God, a new passage was opened in the cave she was in, and the stones closed behind her.
Around AD 280, Thecla features as one of the characters in Methodius of Olympus' Symposium, in which she displays considerable knowledge of profane philosophy, various branches of literature, and eloquent yet modest discourse. Methodius states that she received her instruction in divine and evangelical knowledge from Paul, and was eminent for her skill in sacred science ("Logos 8").
According to some scholars, Thecla's story inspired many later stories of women saints who dressed as men
All of these women were empowered by Thecla, a woman who did things that not many women would ever dare to do
In Spanish-speaking countries, she is also facetiously counted as the patron saint of computers and Internet, from the homophony with the Spanish and Catalan word tecla ("key").[citation needed]

POV: you’re the last surviving member of your family and you’re suddenly surrounded by naked people
Binged some A24 horror for a class and did some color studies, thought the endings had some funny similarities (these movies are traumatizing but so so good)

(please do not ask for the context of this i added the background after i finished the piece and i have no clue what he'd be doing that would cause stuff to rain from the sky)
