fckin. i've watched Tin Can Bros' masterpiece Spies are Forever a bajillion times. I've listened to the soundtrack a bajllion times. when my phone malfunctioned and I lost all the music I downloaded from my dad's giant folder of pirated mp3s, the fuckin Spies Are Forever soundtrack was one of the 3 albums that remained bc it was one of the only ones I'd actually bought. which means i listened to it over and over and over until I was able to get student-discounted Spotify (and tbh i do still listen to it over and over, just on Spotify).
and I JUST NOW realized that Curt's beard from the 4 years after Owen's death is a double entendre.
the only other queer person he knew in his line of work just fucking died. of course he gets a beard.

The mythological symbol of a ladder extending from Earth to heaven appeared in a dream to Jacob, son of Isaac. The icon of a cosmic stairway on which angels move up and down between the earth below and Yahweh at the top is recorded in the Hebrew bible. Within the major world religions, the image of the sky ladder is little more than a vestige of a motif that played a far more prominent role in ancient cosmologies worldwide. You don't know your bible.
(Note: religion and theology talk ahead)
Ex… Excuse me??????? I wake up to THIS?? Anon what. WHAT.
“You don’t know your Bible” oh my god I have never felt so insulted. I don’t fall for anon bait usually but jfc you’ve found my weak spot. WHAT. Are you really trying to imply that my funny little Daylight/Late Night Talking fanart was in reference to JACOB’S LADDER?
(Screencapped like this to make it smaller)
What. Do you think I am unaware of the theological interpretations of Jacob’s Ladder? The ladder that Jacob saw in a dream/vision while fleeing from Esau? Are you trying to make me aware of the many interpretations of Jacob’s Ladder, anon, that perhaps it’s referring to the many exiles of the Jewish people (I lean toward that one), or that it signifies the bridge between Earth and heaven (as Jacob was likely on Mount Moriah at the time), or perhaps that it’s a representation of the personal struggle with sin over a lifetime, the way one ascends and falls? Is it a representation of the covenant between God and his people? Or even the Islamic interpretation, which I do not pretend to know nearly as much about, that the ladder represents the straight and narrow path? Or, as you refer to the Bible, I assume you are looking for the common Christian interpretation where this ladder is God bridging the gap to Man, unlike when Man tried to do the opposite with the Tower of Babel, now Jesus himself is the ladder, as he himself states in John 1:50-51?
Anon. ANON. You come to ME about religion? Would you perhaps like to see the photo I took MYSELF of the Jacob’s ladder that climbs the side of the cathedral in Bath? (Trick question you can’t because I’m at work and it’s on my home computer)
Well first of all I’ll have you know that the art I made was based off of this post “second mv now where he's coming from the sky...”. Like??? I was doing art based on the symbolism of Harry’s videos. Come on. If this was a ladder ascending to the heavens, Harry would be a HELL OF A LOT HIGHER UP. PLANES FLY HIGHER THAN THAT BOY. I assume that the vision is more of him creating a separation for himself, of coming down to interact with the world and ascending back to safety. Also, if anything, I would look at the art I made and deduce a sort of princess and the pea idea from it. A stranded princess sleeping atop an offered bed while people around watch to see if she really is the princess she says she is, waiting for her to fail at the tasks given her, an audience intent on hoping she will miss the pea under her heaven-high stack of mattresses, or hoping perhaps that she’ll just fall off the ladder.
Anon. NOTHING in this art was biblical allegory. And if it was? You would be able to tell! I am not subtle with my allegories!
Perhaps you would like to read my Christmas fic Unto You in which I wrote the story of the birth of Christ as an a/b/o fic set in Victorian England where Harry is Mother Mary. IS THAT SUBTLE ENOUGH FOR YOU?
Or, actually more subtle, my Big Bang fic Through a Mirror Dimly the title of which references 1 Corinthians 13:12 “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.” (ESV version), in which I use that verse in reference to the darkness that Louis in that fic is living in, as someone struggling with undiagnosed OCD and whose roommate is not able to see him for who he truly is until the truth is revealed.
“little more than a vestige of a motif that played a far more prominent role in ancient cosmologies worldwide” Your attempt at pretentiousness is lost when you are not fighting a real battle. Come to me when you want to have a real conversation about the apologetic implications of Phil 1:15-18 and using biblical types as trope in fic. Then we can talk.

Victorian Vampire Boyfriend | wip intro
A t4t mlm vampire romance between a 21st century art student and a 19th century vampire~
genre: Supernatural, historical, queer romance, "wattpad fiction"
progress: ~27k words | 20 chapters | web serial
summary: Orsino Ortiz is a quiet, struggling art student. He thought he'd already experienced the worst of the curveballs life has thrown at him, but one day he manages to travel back in time... to the late 19th century. Lost and alone, he ends up in the care of the refined, yet excitable Elliot Darling; a man freshly made a vampire and lacking in control. As both of them help each other through the life changes they grapple with, they grow closer than Orsino ever expected, uncovering dark secrets, and sweet romance in a world that would hunt them down given the chance.
tropes/vibes: vampire/human, vampires vs. vampire hunters, time travel, spellcasting, "is he into me or does he just want to take a chomp out of me?", becoming a guest in the vampire's home

have repeatedly seen historians described as being personally invested in people from the past & i don't understand this at all. i like history because i like thinking about how stuff is really complicated & everything is connected but also i'm not required to do math about it
i'm in it for lineages, connections, & the feeling when you're reading really good, grounded analysis & your whole brain lights up with insight

Celine oh celine
Hungry, hungry, Hungry absolutely starving , for some reason she was always starving, there was a whole so large inside of her, that she tried to fill with food? Sadness, training anything and everything,
No matter how much she ate, she was always unsatisfied, food seemed to evaporate in front of her
no matter how much she tried, she couldnt let a tear leave her eyes, she was always numb and feeling too much at the same time
no matter how much she trained, she never passed out, her limbs would ache and she would be awake through the burn of her appendages.
Sleep was a foreign concept to celine, she tried and tried, tossed and turned, but sleep never came, but when it did, she didnt notice,
a fraction of a second, then she was awake, and time had passed, its as if she blinked and missed the world moving one with out her.
Celine was a girl who never had enough, hands empty, scrambling for purchase on the face of the universe, searching for a single atom of it, that love her
