I think one of my “favorite” things is when people misinterpret what it means to be aroace. Watching people so clearly not understand the complexity behind the spectrum of aromatic and asexuality and then proceed to say they “stand with” aroace as an ally is so hilarious to me. Especially when they use this to start bashing on a perfectly fine ship, especially because said ship gets in the way of theirs.
Aroace does not mean no attraction. The plastered poster face for it is people who don’t feel ANY types of attraction, but that does not mean everyone. Aromantic people can date and fall in love. Asexual people can fuck. Aroace people can do both.
Yes, aroace rep IS needed. But we still have it via Luffy—just because Luffy kisses someone (hypothetically) doesn’t mean we just yeeted the aroace label off of him. He is STILL aroace. You know who else is aroace? Bon Clay, for one. Zoro as well. Yet I don’t see people screaming that shipping Zoro with someone completely erases the aroace label, now do I?
Ugh, I’d totally make a whole ass essay about this, but it’s half till midnight. It’s just. Been on my mind for a few hours and I need to say a little shit
#iykyk#zolu#I got so worked up reading that one post lol#as someone who used to not ship zolu because Luffy felt aroace to me I found it hilarious#while also quite insulting#says someone started bashing on a ship that’s done literally nothing wrong#plus they also started bashing on zonami and said it’s because Zoro’s canonically gay#like ??? no??? he isn’t???#“never explicitly said but heavily implied” is ridiculous really#Zoro is Zoro. he is a fictional character who is up to interpretation until the original creator states otherwise#also the “straightwashing Sanji” comment had me dead I’m sorry#like did we WATCH the same anime/live action?#sanji’s been straight from the start. if anything opla made him less straight with all those soft looks he was giving Luffy#like dudes bi at most#but truly Zoro is so aroace to me#that dude has nothing on his mind but being the best swordsman#booze#and making sure his captain doesn’t die like#seriously. people need to understand that aroace is much more complex than they think it is#oh and yes#we definitely need more non-dating aroace rep

I can respect the hater mentality
#kirby#kots#kirby of the stars#hoshi no kirby#kirby meme#it's honestly hilarious that half the cast of star allies are just people that tried to kill us and most of them aren't even sorry#Taranza at the time was the only redeemed villain in the cast#like yeah magolor went through redemption but we didn't know that he just built a theme park and hoped everything was fine#marx is just not hungry and his text just hints at him still being up to no good#susie is still racist and im not even sure she learn something from her experience#apart from trauma#daroach is here to steal stuff#im still not sure what dark meta knight wanted but nothing good I'm sure#i may be giving Taranza too much credit because he's my favorite he did have ulterior motives#but at most he just wanted to pray for Sectonia's revival he wasn't gonna do anything bad#he is going through stuff of course he's vulnerable to be converted by a cult#he's even like 'probably won't work and it working would honestly be a bad thing but im going to try anyway'#do you think Taranza gets lonely up there#Galacta dying the second we receive the first bit of solid lore about them was straight up evil#and then kumazaki confirmed they killed them because it was funny i was enraged /pos#i know people were tired of Galacta Knight at that point#i mean i wasn't bur i kind of understand why some people may have been#even they were tired they kiled themselves before having to fight us again#do you ever think about how none of the Galacta Knight encounters are canon to the kirby cast but are canon to Galacta#and then their death isn't canon so oops here they come in Kirby clash#retire that is old guy#but actually don't i like them and i want them to appear until they drop dead (again)#the post was meant to be about Galacta never forgiving the ancients but honestly they're probably angry just in general

Karma (song) is a perfect balance of bitterness and weightlessness
#something in it she hadn’t accepted about herself until midnights/eras era#she said#ASK ME WHY SO MANY FADE AND I’M STILL HERE BITCH#(I’m sorry for swearing)#karma is somehow Taylor owning the fact that she makes soooooo many people mad#and she really DOES and when I am not emotionally weighed down and anxious about it all I think it’s hilarious and kind of iconic#actually not kind of. straight up#just chattering over here don’t mind me

Tuvok almost immediately falling for that telepathic alien beaming his wife and home into his brain despite knowing it can’t be true is iconic of him. He’s like a hundred years old and from a race of logic-only telepaths yet he goes down before Janeway, Harry Kim or Tom Paris. Tell me you’re desperately in love and horrifically lonely without telling me you’re desperately in love and horrifically lonely.
#st voyager#Tuvok#I know he did fight it - but you'd expect it to be like 'oh no now even the VULCAN has succumbed to this alien...we KNOW it's powerful now'#but he gets taken out like (from my memory) FIRST????? HEHEHE and LISTEN...it's hilarious. and also??? It's tragic. Where's his WIFE!!!#His first words are like 'I don't understand how this is possible' <- guy who's already firmly ensnared despite his protestations#Tuvok's dearest most firmly held wish being established TWICE as: Seeing T'Pel again.......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA#also it's so funny to hear Harry say 'my girlfriend Libby' - BOY....your WHAT~?? HEHEHE your WHO??#Libby is the funniest character she's mentioned like TWICE...Harry straight up forgets about her..BOY...WH O'S LIBBY?~?? HEHEHE Idk KNOW her#Harry who're you fooling?? You know Libby isn't on that damn screen HEHEHEH#I love him...sorry Harry had to razz ya

Why did God harden the Pharaoh’s? I’m in a Bible as Lit class and someone brought up “wouldn’t that be against free will,” and why did God let the Israelites stay it in slavery for so long. Why is God different in the Old Testament to the New Testament? I hope this doesn’t bother you, with all these questions
Okay, so there are several different questions here and I'm going to try to address them all. I'm sure I'll miss something somewhere, so other more knowledgeable friends feel free to add on. Follow-ups are also very much welcome.
First off, Bible as literature class! Yikes. I took a Bible as lit class for my English minor years ago and my experience was pretty much wall-to-wall frustration. It was mostly an exercise in coming up with the most transgressive reads on Scripture possible and that really upset me.
I hope that your experience is better than mine. However, assuming that the class is at a secular university, I'd still encourage you to be intentional about talking the things you cover in class over with knowledgeable Christians in your life. I certainly benefitted a lot from doing so, both in the sense that I got to vent a whole bunch and in that I got help contextualizing the secular perspectives within Christian scholarship.
That out of the way: The God of the Bible is the same in both the Old and New Testaments.
I do understand where you’re coming from. It’s not uncommon for people to find God kind of inscrutable in the OT when they're more used to reading the NT. I actually think that's a failure on the part of the contemporary church in the West; large swaths of the OT tend to be understudied among lay-Christians.
Systematic theology can help a lot here. I'm just going to hit a few really broad highlights, but I really can't recommend Wayne Grudem highly enough if you're interested in more in-depth reading. Lots of people start with Bible Doctrine, but my family happened to have a copy of his enormous Systematic Theology tome in the basement when I was in high school and I got a lot out of just poking through that a little at a time too. A few quick bullets though:
Across all the Biblical texts, God is love. He glories in kindness to his people, whether it's in the covenant with Abraham, the Exodus, the faithful ministry of the prophets, Christ's ministry/death/resurrection, or the promised coming of his kingdom.
God is holy; he gives the Law to the Israelites so that they can approach his holiness without fearing for their lives and he sent Jesus so that we can do the same. Both Isaiah and Peter react with fear and awe in the face of God's holiness.
God is just. By virtue of his holiness, he cannot allow sin to go unpunished. As modern westerners, we often chafe against this but has any of us experienced justice that was actually pure? Justice is a form of faithfulness, and the same God who sent his people into exile poured out his wrath on his own son in our place. He has promised that one day, every evil will face his perfect justice.
God is faithful. He keeps his Covenant with Abraham even unto the cross. In the OT he is faithful husband to an adulterous people. In the NT he tells us that when we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.
Lots of other characteristics but this answer is going to be long enough as it is. The only way to get a real sense for the continuity within the Bible is to read the whole Bible with an eye towards the continuity.
The reason that God is more approachable in the NT than the Old is that he became human. In the Incarnation, all of that holiness and justice and faithfulness and love that was God came to earth in our perfect likeness so that he could live beside us and die for us. God is certainly easier to approach in light of Christ's work, but he is utterly the same as he ever was. Read the Transfiguration and tell me that isn’t the God of Mount Sinai. Read John 1 and tell me it doesn’t remind you of the end of Job. Read the Gospels, Hebrews, and Revelation and play spot-the-OT-parallel. It's beautiful.
Why did God leave his people in slavery for so long? You could ask the same question about the Babylonian captivity and even about why Jesus waits to return and finally defeat Death. Why does he wait? Why let his people suffer?
Well. God is sovereign and he only permits evil to the extent that it ultimately accomplishes the very opposite of what it intends. Because the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, the Exodus was able to occur. The Exodus glorified God in extraordinary fashion, both among his own people and to the peoples of the ancient world. It was also a necessary type and precursor to Jesus's work on the cross. I don't think it's an overstatement to say that redemptive history rests on God's work in the Exodus, which is itself contingent on a period of slavery in Egypt.
“How long, O Lord” and “Come Lord Jesus” are the same sentiment in different words. We are still in exile, even now. We are chronologically exiled from the place where we belong, the New Jerusalem, and we mourn because we live in a fallen world in which sin and death can still hurt us. We can ask, just as the Prophets once asked, why God waits to vanquish the Enemy, extract suffering from the world, and restore our years that the locusts have eaten. And in each case (the slaves in Egypt, the Babylonian captivity, and the period of waiting for Jesus to return), the answer is that God does not fix it yet because He is doing something bigger!
Regarding Pharaoh's heart: this is basically a question of human nature. The easiest way that I can articulate it off the top of my head is using Augustine's fourfold state of man:
Prior to the fall, man was able either to sin or not to sin (posse peccare, posse non peccare)
The natural state of man after the fall is one in which he is unable not to sin (non posse non peccare). This was Pharaoh's state.
Following the work of Christ, regenerate man is able not to sin (posse non peccare)
In eternity, glorified man will be unable to sin (non posse peccare)
When we talk about man's will, we must acknowledge that our wills are subject to our nature. In other words, Pharaoh was a natural, fallen man. His nature was inherently sinful and his heart inherently hard.
What we've got here is sort of a "Jacob I have loved but Esau I have hated" situation. Pharaoh, in his natural state, had a hard heart and a natural enmity with God. God did not intervene to give him a heart of flesh. My people I have loved, but Pharaoh I have hated.
Not a perfect parallel, but I think it serves its purpose. The point is that God's sovereignty isn't in conflict with man's will, since our wills are a function of our natures. Man behaves however his nature inclines him to behave at any given time. We call this free will; however, God is entirely sovereign over all of it.
This is definitely a long, messy answer, but like I said, feel free to continue the conversation. I've got some biochem to work on, but I'm always happy to talk theology :)
#Secular Bible as lit classes really are a quagmire#mine was basically where I decided that I straight up do not care what non-Christians have to say about the Bible#(in the scholarship sense I mean)#if you don't have skin in the game then i couldn't care less what you think on authorship/characterization in genesis/weird subversive take#on ruth/Job being internally inconsistent/God's gender/the purpose of the parables/whatever other nonsense#sigh#and like. i had a good theological grounding to be able to push back on the BS nine times out of ten#my prof actually called me the most engaged student she'd ever taught which was pretty hilarious#but i was FURIOUS on behalf of the other Christians in the class who by and large had relatively shallow foundations as far as i could tell#like one girl was seriously doubting whether God was good when we did the prophets because of the way it was presented#i went to the prof's office hours one time to pick a fight (long story) and she told me that she's had numerous students over the years#that renounced their faith after taking her class#i spent the whole semester praying for all the names on the class roster#ugh i could rant about that class forever#meanwhile! no discussion of the ACTUAL literary merits of the Bible which are awesome!#the poetry the reoccurring motifs the deft use of metaphor the beautiful elevation of theology to art#i wanted to talk about that!#and that wasn't what the class was about#this was years ago and i'm still mad. sorry#maybe that'll be a separate post one of these days#ask me hard questions#only thou art holy

when i was younger (i’m wanting to say 11 or 12) i was really into miraculous ladybug so much so that my favorite songs were classic by mkto because of a chat noir cosplay lip sync video and will you marry me by jason derulo because of a ladynoir/adrienette comic video and when i say they were my favorite songs i mean i listened to them religiously and my brother (who was sharing a room with me at the time) got sick of them, i wrote the lyrics in a notebook so i could memorize them, and i remember once at a skating rink i asked them to play classic and it came on right before we were going to leave and my mom let me stay longer so i went back on the skate floor dancing to it while skating
similarly when i was 4 my favorite songs were paradise city by guns and roses and my mom has a voice clip somewhere on her laptop of my little baby voice singing it and pumped up kicks by foster the people and because i was 4 i had no idea what the song was about and didn’t for longer than it should’ve but little baby me would constantly ask for my mom to play those songs anytime we got in the car and i find that hilarious
#miraculous ladybug#music#i remember being so shocked when i found out what pumped up kicks what about#i have no idea what i thought it was about beforehand#also baby sid singing about pretty girls was hilarious#also very gay#i have no idea why my grandparents still think i’m straight#also sorry to my brother for constantly listening to music without headphones on#but also he never told me to stop so i have no idea it was an issue#so it’s actually his fault

also i promise i'll hopefully. sometime this week [maybe this month. this week is busy. maybe by the end of the month is a more feasible goal. anyway] actually manage to translate whatever the fuck is going on between alucren and tyr [one-sided as hell, btw] out of my dms and into like. a tumblr post but i just. i just need you all to know he's a delight and he's an idiot and he's my hamster running endlessly on a wheel and also he's a bag of m&m's that's stuck in the vending machine and i'm shaking him around. anyway.
you can, however, have this in the meantime.
and my single incoherent, possibly, without context giggle about them tonight is both of them are so fucking imperial sometimes in. usually slightly different flavors of it but also somewhat similar but also. shakes them. [laminated paper wobble noises] y'know?
anyway alucren's a fucking loser and i love him.
#dot talk#i'm having a blast okay the time of my life#and its HILARIOUS and its great bc i'm having EMOTIONS bc JOEL AND I FOUND THE SECRET SAUCE#but at least for now my brain refuses to like. repeat what its already said even if its just copy + paste so like. i'm so sorry#the lore exists and i want to share it but the sharing department in my brain is like on a lunch break or smth#actually apparently what it wants to do is leave lore in the tags like a treasure hunt so.#the short version is i think i've caught alucren in one hell of a case of imposter syndrome#and what this has manifested as - instead of dealing with any of his issues bc he's. so imperial. nobility about it god anyway#instead of working through that he's decided he's going to put that into homoerotic jealousy of tyr and my god. man does not realize#how not straight of him that is. alucren. babe. its a) all in your head and#b) thinking 'if i kiss him bet that'd shut him up' is neither as straight as you think it is#nor a suitable method for dealing with your boss but kinda not boss but definitely still coworker in sith intel okay#so like. this is what i've been dealing with. i wanna dome him over the head with a paper towel tube.#tyr meanwhile in the other corner of the office just minding his sweet business. willfully or just blatantly unknowing of alucren's deal#its just. its hilarious one day i'd love to be able to share all of it

following principally japanese artists and refusing to interreact with the english fanbase also means that sometimes something big is going to happen and the only thing you can do is scroll through countless of tweets armed with nothing but your shitty google translation and trying to pieces together what is the insane thing that happened, made even more insane by the flawed translation, but somehow figuring out what it is will be even more insane regardless. I’m feeling so normal right now.
#so like my favorite ship in a saga that's technically a shounen just apparently had a jokey M//P//R//EG chapter#where one of the guy is making up a story about giving birth to the child of the other guy#totally normal and straight behavior#please trying to pieces it together from vague tweets in japanese was a nightmare#'there's no way i legit just read that'#and instead. instead.#i hate m//pr///eg plots in general but i have to wonder why the fuck!!! why the fuck!!!!! what!!!!!!#like it's touching a ship who's the guy joking about it#also joked about being the guy's past life lover and soulmate more than once#and talked about how his heart yearns for him and his feelings are unresolved in his dreams and 'perhaps i'm lying'#so like the straight assumption was always already hilarious in that genre#bUT 'I WOULD CARRY YOUR CHILDREN'???? WHO DOES THAT.#sorry i'm crying and losing my mind what the fuck what the fuck what the f-#also take what i say with a grain of salt i'm only having google translated tweets to help me#and all of them are from shippers who also completely ran with it to start with#it's the greatest fanservice con of the world why are they doing this to me. to us.#what's the 'deniably straight' interpretation to all of it is!!! what is going on!!!!#ichatalks#also while 'not interracting with the english fanbase' isn't helping me and all i dont think anyone reacted to it yet#until the person who gives manga summaries make this summary we're all in the dark#in my world it's just me and the 10 artists i follow losing our mind i guess#keeping up with the 'oh those manly men have beef let's see where it goes' manga#only to have to read one of them dreams to birth his bestie's baby#im feeling high am i fucking high is it a dream

would ny'all call me insane if i said that i think that carlotta would have a more interesting dynamic with either christine or the phantom than those two have between themselves??? bc yea i can see why this is an insane statement but i'd Love to see a "rivals to lovers/friends" between carlotta and christine and an "enemies to co-workers" between carlotta and the phantom
#txt#also im SORRY BUT PHANTOM & CARLOTTA INTERSECTIONS ARE THE FUNNIEST EVER TO ME#like she keeps dropping things on carlotta. but not straight up hurting her. theyre both two mean girls i love them so much#carlotta is a bully but the phantom is an even bigger bully#theyd be hilarious together bc i 100% believe carlotta is smart and sly enough to try and do business with the phantom#shexd try to get on her good side i KNOW it#and obviously the phantom sees right through carlottam's schemes but shes impressed by the woman's determination to be better than everyone#😭 please god theyre so funny#also idk the way the phantom actually gave carlotta a singing part in don juan? kinda makes me think she doesnt hate her that much#and she doesnt think shes that Bad of a singer she just needs to stick to roles that actually suit her style#carlotta would definitely try to compete with christine even harder after finding out that christine's teacher is the phantom 😭#she thinks she could do it better (be a better student for the phantom)#obviously wouldnt work but still . what a delightfully mean woman#INTERACTIONS* not intersections
