why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it)#The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?

thoughts, repeating.

#art #sketch #digital art #ocd #wish i could clear my brain cache sometimes!#but no instead everything that ever happens to me is a cognitohazard #anything can be my brain's favourite chew toy #there's nothing more to extract from that thought but sure let's run into it like a knife a million times #and it becomes habit that reinforces itself. i will wake up thinking thank god im not having the thought right now! oh! surprise!#i don't wish my memory was worse but i wish it knew how to let go #one beautiful day when im in a place more long term i will find a therapist that can help hopefully #also im doing fine mostly!!!!!!#ive been meaning to draw this for a while just havent had the time and im slowly smoothing it over

Because it is Mermay:

Originally did this art for one of @radiance1 prompts/story ideas, which also gives an idea of colors so.

#dcxdp #dpxdc #my art #prompts #if you wanna use this for inspiration do it #mermay #adult danny #THIS IS NOT SHIPPING #Vlad and Danny are simply fellow eldritch space creatures after leaving their destroyed dimension behind #I am blaming the GIW as they're so stupid that they were planning to nuke the Zone like that is Not a Good Idea #Yes Danny's lower face & throat splits open into a maw that is as dark as a black hole #I wonder if they change to merfolk forms over thousands of years & it results in outsider pov thinking they're evolving or something #but probably not #I like to think that sometimes they appear as unfathomable creatures #other times akin to beautiful animals of the very cosmos #and other times as something between humanoid and creature and something Other #humanoid forms may be smaller than their less humanoid forms but they're still like the size of a moon #If Ellie & Dan were also a thing in this au #I feel like Dan would be some sort of space sun shark- the inside of its maw like a supernova & flames trailing from its fins #and Ellie would be some sort of space-aurora eel (fin-frill like an aurora & body like a galaxy similar to Danny's)#I feel like they'd be at least the size of the Watchtower if they're any smaller than the other two #Very much ancient manifestations of space itself sort of vibes #Void Octopus Vlad #Space Whale Danny #he's not technically an octopus but closest thing he looks like lol #go wild

Next Dark Night in Ba Sing Se part! Is! Fully outlined!

...And so is the majority of series in lesser detail because oops my hand slipped.

#this is the Oops My Hand Slipped Series #so that's only appropriate #it's not the Cabbage Man and Toph part I was wrong that comes later #this is the Rookie With A Li Is Prince Zuko Conspiracy Board Gets Partnered With Li (Who Is Prince Zuko Oh God He's Going To Die) buddy fic #just some wholesome fear of death for everyone #going to let the outline percolate a little to make sure I didn't miss any plot threads #maybe writing later in the month? we'll see #going to go putz in my garden now the weather is beautiful and I need to kill the horrible creeping grass before I can plant #I have decided on ignoring the creeping charlie this year if it stays low and plays nice with the real plants than I can just #not stress about it for every after #I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU CREEPING CHARLIE #BEHAVE YOURSELF #the grass does NOT behave itself it gets tall and gives me PAPERCUTS and TICKS #DIE GRASS DIE

Ok but God having a lightbulb for head making it easy to break whenever someone's had enough of "his" bullshit but the back of his throne being full of new fresh lightbulbs, leaving it to the people/creatures, even the ones that broke him in the first place, to replace it if they find the mercy and humility in their hearts to do so has to be one of the hardest and most creative metaphors for hope Ive seen in a Groening show

#it was beautiful men #broke: god is careless and we are all just pieces in his board game #wired: god may be powerfull but hes made of our faith and hope which makes him easy to break but we can always find hope in ourselves i am #crying as I write this- in ourselves to believe in him again bc love is powerfull and well always look for hope #disenchantment #disenchantment spoilers #im atheist since I was in highscool but im not mad at faith itself i find it very endearing the way every person comes to terms with it #we all need hope 🥹

to me this line is like, where harry reaches the closest thing to self actualization within the text of the game. he doesn't desire to be a different kind of animal anymore. its such a kind thing to say to himself about a quality that in his line of work could very much be perceived as a flaw. idk i just like it

#im probably gonna put something close to this in my video but i just. yeah #disco elysium spoilers #ANNIE AND FEARGHUS DON'T READ #but like the way the phasmid goes on to say that it empathizes with harry/humanity itself due to its sensitivity #to have that experience which is so accepted and brushed off in day to day life be heard and sympathized with #something something the way disco elysium presents humanity's unique consciousness as something that is often overwhelmig and horrifying #and forgives harry for being overwhelmed by that sensitivity and consciousness and congratulating him for even reaching this point #IDFKKKKK #the noid line thats like consciousness is new to the universe we all have our ways to ease the shock #literally been thinking about it for WEEKS #the way we interface with the world is unique and beautiful but it can also be terrifying and devastating so its ok to be scared #even if it feels like everyone else is fine #getting personal in the tumblr tags ummm #disco elysium #disco elysium meta #harry du bois #insulindian phasmid

#utsukushii kare #my beautiful man #hira kazunari #kiyoi sou #hira x kiyoi #gifset #*#//#not the first not the second not even the third nor the fourth person to associate hirakiyo to this song #but god am I the most annoying about it #this was made on a whim but I spent the whole night working on the coloring so I hope it doesn't look awful #I also had Hira's spirit hovering over me as a manifestation of my fear of not making Kiyoi justice. wanted to quit gifmaking forever #but now that is done I think it actually looks above my skill level so I'm very happy with the result #also!! especially for this occasion I finally learned how to make gradient text 😃😃#I got confused a few times and it took me an embarrassing length of time but look!! I did it!!#(for the theme of the set itself there is not much I wanna comment except ^*!!:-@*£shxbs@^& what a beautiful man what the hell)

If I'm honest, the whole "love in every stitch" saying for fiber artists does not apply to me, like. I'm trying to get this fucking hook into stubborn yarn and I'll be stabbing it like it owed me money. Is that love because I hope not 😭💀

#art #crochet #honestly the closest thing i feel to love when crocheting is this feeling that this is bigger than me if that makes sense...#...i think it'sthe feeling of knowing how old the craft itself is and knowing that millions of people have done the same as you...#...millions of people have stabbed their crochet hook into the yarn because it's stubborn but so are you...#...millions of people in the past have sat and devoted their time and effort into all of this...#...millions of people have passed on this knowledge and kept this thing alive...#...and it's the feeling of knowing that humans across millenia aren't THAT different #to our core we are more or less similar - across the ages across the colours across everything. that really comforts and humbles me #have you looked up ancient textiles? because that also sparks these emotions in me #it makes me think about the tupes of people to make the textile but also about who wore it #and so many of them are still beautiful and colourful and it shows you SO MUCH about the people who made them #even the ones that are tattered and faded and stripped of colour still feel beautiful...#...because it has SURVIVED. it is evidence of a people who made it and a people who had technical skills #and THIS is why i HATE HATE HATE the idea that ancient people were just 'dumb' and 'uneducated'#that is so unfair to them and cruel and just. wrong. (and often it reeks of white supremacy)#i'm sorry i rant and rave about this so much but i canNOT be normal about this. i can't be normal about humanity #i am learning to love humanity and learn about us and learn everything and it'll never be enough - i will never know enough #i will never know everything about everybody and it will be the death of me #okay the only thing i liked about the greatest showman movie was Never Enough because that is me thinking about all this
