Lil Nas X is doing to christianity what christians have done to other religions for literal centuries: using their religion as an art form and inspiration while not giving a shit about what they think.

polnareff trying to ask avdol how ramadan works and he's confused by the whole "fasting during daylight hours" thing and he's like "ok but what if you were at the north pole where it's daytime for 24 hours" or "what if you were on a space station with no proper night and day" and other theoretical questions that complicate the definition of "during daytime"
Tumblr media
“While yes we fast when the sun is up only, it does vary, if its daytime 24 hours then you will follow the time on the clock that you have set, or follow the closest country/timezone that DOES have a sunrise and sunset, these things aren’t too strict as long as you still follow the rules of fasting in general, if it has to be bent in this way it’s not a bad thing and it’s fine! If you are in space, follow the time of which you had left earth from, the time of launch, etc. Fasting isn’t as strict as you think, it’s more symbolic than anything, so you don’t have to follow the rules of ‘sunset or sunrise’ like its gonna bite you! Just follow the clock with what feels right but make sure it still follows the same set of rules you understand what i mean? I hope this clears it up!”

Elvis and Sammy Davis Jr.'s friendship
“I have a respect for Elvis and my friendship. The only thing I want to know is, 'Was he my friend?', 'Did I enjoy him as a performer?', 'Did he give the world of entertainment something?' - and the answer is YES on all accounts. The other jazz just don't matter” - Sammy Davis Jr.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Of all those guys out there, and certainly of the entertainers who claimed to be one of Elvis’s close buddies, only Sammy Davis, Jr., was really a friend. He never wanted anything except to have a good time” - Marty Lacker
“Sammy Davis Jr. was a wonderful audience for Elvis, always jumping up and down in his chair, applauding wildly and shouting encouragement. They were great friends. During a 1970 show in Las Vegas, Elvis took off the fifty-two-carat black star sapphire he wore on his middle finger and slipped it onto Sammy’s finger” - Joe Esposito

Do you have a favorite passage of the Quran?
i dont have favorite passages as much as i have favorite ayat (verses)
so, surely with hardship comes ease.
Surely with ˹that˺ hardship comes ˹more˺ ease
these two verses from 94:5-6 has helped me calm down more than you can imagine. i cant explain the calming effect that remembering these two has on me.
do not let their words grieve you.
as someone who got bullied, 10:65 helped a lot.
Allah is the Guardian of the believers—He brings them out of darkness and into light.
this is 2:257 and also rlly comforted me
then this one is kinda different:
and We have put a barrier before them and a barrier behind them, and have covered them up, so they are unable to see.
(side note: the "we" here is the royal we, just in case thats confusing lol)
this is a verse that protected muhammad pbuh from being killed when he was fleeing mecca, and it has protected me from my parents. whenever i notice my parents starting to get angry and i get scared, i just whisper this verse (but in arabic – this is the pronunciation if anyone at all wants it) and they always, always get distracted. either my brothers start fighting and my mom has to attend to them, or my dad gets a phone call from work, i swear it works (for me at least). its become my mantra atp <3
oh and theres one more; the entire surah (chapter) of ad-duha (the morning hours). this ones a long story
abt a year ago (back when i was at the lowest point of my life, sh'ing, having regular panic attacks at school) i dreamt of being in a cave, and there was an old man with a long white beard wearing a thobe next to me, but he was focused on something and mumbling to himself. i focused and i saw he was compiling the quran into a book, and i looked in front of me and i saw scattered pages of the quran. i started compiling it with him, but it kinda compiled itself and then flipped open to a random page, which was open to ad-duha
for reference, ad-duha is short, so this is what it looked like:
Tumblr media
its that big block in the middle, it fits comfortably on a single page with room for other chapters above and below.
so i told this dream to my moms friend whos good at interpreting dreams, and she told me to read the surah. so i did.
this surah came down on the prophet pbuh in a low point in his life when he thought he was abandoned by god bc he hadnt received any messages from the angel gabriel in over six months. in this short 11-verse chapter, here are a few of the verses:
Your Lord has not abandoned you, nor has He become hateful ˹of you˺. (verse 3)
And the next life is certainly far better for you than this one. (verse 4)
And ˹surely˺ your Lord will give so much to you that you will be pleased. (verse 5)
Did He not find you unguided then guided you? (verse 7)
i cannot explain the feeling i got when i read these verses. i cannot properly formulate into words the effect that reading this had on me.
keep in mind, this surah is taught to us as children bc its short. ages 8 and below. i had memorized this long ago but i never really focused on the words? cause its classical arabic, which is largely different from my dialect of arabic, so mostly i know the words but not their meanings iykwim. like i know the word "qala" but i dont know what it means.
so i dont think it was my mind grasping for things of comfort in order to make me feel better; i didnt know that this surah was meant to be reassuring until after the dream.
to this day, i read it whenever i feel kinda low<3

We can watch so many people just slip into these bottomless pits of… of awful and we can stand it. We can tolerate it because we can say things like, “God works in mysterious ways.” Like there’s a plan? Like something good’s gonna come out of it. Nothing good came out of my drinking. Nothing good came out of me killing that poor girl. Nothing good came out of Joe Collie’s drinking. Not a single good thing comes out of Leeza never being able to walk again. Nothing good came out of a metric ton of crude oil filling up the bay. And the only thing, the only fucking thing that lets people stand by, watching all this suffering, doing nothing, doing fucking nothing, is the idea that suffering can be a gift from God. What a monstrous idea, Father.
Tumblr media
FATHER PAUL
Yeah. Look, there’s nothing in the scripture, or in the world for that matter, that suggests God negates personal accountability. There’s certainly nothing in the program to suggest that. Not at all, in fact. I believe God can take our work, even our awful works, and turn them into something else. I know He can find the good in them, and find the love in them, whether we see it or not. That I know… Riley Flynn. That I know.

You know, ’cause every time someone survives, like, a mass shooting or some terrible fucking earthquake, they always say, you know, “I survived for a reason. God saved me for a reason. I have a purpose.” And then I think to myself, like, okay, well, what you’re saying is that your life is more important than that six-year-old who died that day, or the newborn who died that day, or anybody fucking else who died that day. Your life has a purpose, right? Well, why does your life have a purpose, and my dad’s doesn’t? Because I could argue that my dad’s purpose was to raise me and my sister. To be there for my mom. That was his purpose, I think. But, you know. He’s dead. Ali, if you’re, if you’re about to tell me that he died for a reason, or you know, whatever, I will literally walk the fuck out.
He didn’t die to teach us a lesson. Okay? He didn’t die to, you know, have us all come together, or whatever the fuck people tell people when they don’t have anything to say. He died because he died. That’s it. Same stupid reason I came out of the womb with a couple wires crossed. Right? Just fucking luck. You said it. That’s it.

Listen, um... I don't know all the answers. And I'm not gonna pretend to. But I do know that at any given point that we're unable to see and comprehend the overall arc of human life. No person can see it. The whole chain reaction of how things come to be from beginning to end. It's a mystery, and will always remain a mystery. How, um, six-year- old Malcolm Little's daddy was killed in a streetcar accident. Rumor was it that the Black Legion did it. The KKK. How that little boy grew up believing that this.white world had no place for a Black man like him, so fuck it. He moves to Harlem, becomes a pimp. Becomes an addict. Starts robbing and stealing, till he gets locked up. Who discovers Islam. Who starts a movement.
Who scares the living shit out of white America so bad that white America was so afraid that they embraced another Negro, one who had a dream, not to cut the head off the snake, even if that's what they deserved, but to live in harmony. Next thing you know, Civil Rights Act. The first legislative steps granting you and I the right to sit in this motherfuckin' diner to have a conversation about whether or not you wanna stay clean from drugs. Drugs that were given to your ancestors to keep them inebriated, inoculated, enslaved. Drugs that stripped them of their ability to not just be free, but to imagine a.world in which they were free. So,.why is one person's purpose greater than another's? Why are some people struck down while others live? Why are you, Rue Bennett, sitting here when other 17-year-olds, 17-year-olds who are better, who are kinder, who are more respectful than you, aren't sitting here, I don't know. That's the mystery. But here we are. So what now?

soooo i was thinking about avdol again and i feel like he has spent a lot of his life being needed for something. his entire role in stardust crusaders is functional: he provides the others with knowledge about tarot, stand powers and egypt, and the only reason he’s involved in the trip (and the narrative) is because he’s helping joseph (and i think to an extent his entire relationship with joseph is anchored in avdol's role as almost a mentor archetype)
so throwing in a bit of speculation here, and the fact that avdol is clearly driven by a strong sense of morality and duty to help those in need, i imagine that part of his self-worth is based on how useful he can be to people. it’s also visible in the way he presents himself - his entire ‘image’ as a responsible and wise individual could link to his desire to perform to the high standards he’s set himself, so that other people can trust him and rely on him. 
but then polnareff comes along. unlike everyone else in avdol's life, he makes it clear from the very beginning that he doesn’t need avdol - quite the contrary. he rejects any advice or help that avdol offers (because he’s very self-reliant - or at least believes he is - and misinterprets avdol’s concern as being overbearing)
for avdol, who has spent most of his life in the role of mentor and basing his relationships around his usefulness to others, this is going to be not only frustrating but also presumably something of an existential crisis. initially it's going to be difficult to navigate a friendship (or. ummm you know. gay love !) with polnareff. because who is he if he’s not someone to be needed? how is he going to show polnareff that he cares about him if polnareff doesn’t want to rely on anyone?
the thing is - polnareff doesn’t need to need avdol. he wants him to be around simply because he enjoys his presence, and likes him as a person - not because he wants him to do something for him.
over the course of stardust crusaders, i think avdol begins to understand this. eventually he can let his guard down around polnareff, as he no longer has his image of functionality and usefulness to maintain. he's wanted rather than needed for once. because polnareff isn’t expecting anything of him: the only thing that polnareff wants from him is himself

You ever see online leftists saying absolutely insane shit and just have an out of body experience because wow, apparently we have similar political views?
Today's forced brain recalibration is brought to you by people saying that Abdullah II of Jordan is the "least Arab man in the Arab world" and "not actually Muslim" and "basically just a British man". Reminder to anyone in the crowd who doesn't know; Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein is quite literally a direct descendant of Muhammad.
