Proverbs 30:5-6

question 2 my followers: what’s the most obscure piece of media you’ve ever developed a fixation with? not obscure as in “at one point had a reasonably thriving fandom that eventually faded” but something you feel you were almost entirely alone in your appreciation for

the word “sabotage” is p much short for “fucking shit up with a wooden shoe”

what

oh my god

well wooden shoe look at that

I’M FUCKING CRYING AT THAT PUN BE MY FRIEND PLEASE 

thinking about that one wordless calvin and hobbes sunday strip thats just calvins dad ditching his work to go play in the snow... its going to make me cry

”#I LOVE that the comic keeps the lens on Calvin’s dad to the degree of not even showing Calvin’s excited face when his dad surprises him, #You can see the joy and excitement of the moment in his pose and reflected in his dad’s expression, #it’s a great little artistic decision, #I realized what gets me about it it’s the hat covering his dad’s head and hair so the dad just looks like Calvin. #you don’t HAVE to show Calvin! You already see him in the dad becoming a kid for a moment you only have to draw that once”

I honestly think the original ah lads not again post is the funniest

You can want people reformed while also acknowledging that some form of punishment is necessary. Some people do in fact need to be punished. Some people cannot be rehabilitated. That doesn't mean removing their human dignity. You can urge them to center their souls to Christ in hope for eternal salvation while also realizing that they should never again be allowed free access to society at large. "Love the sinner" does not mean "there are no earthly consequences". Nor does it mean to not give justice to those who have been wronged. In fact, we should seek out justice. To not do so in the name of always thinking we can "rehabilitate" everyone is at best foolish and at worst wicked.

I think what really gets me is that for most of those really horrific crimes they aren't first time offenders. They usually did something similar and got let off with a slap on the wrist. Then they inflict some hell on some other innocent person before finally being taken seriously. That isn't Christian. It's evil frankly. To allow that is wholly evil. You can argue about why people commit crimes until you are blue in the face but with the really bad stuff I simply do not care anymore. Most people don't rape women so badly they are paralized or murder kids in cold blood. It doesn't matter if you were raised in poverty or you had a hard life or whatever. Don't care. You should never be allowed to go free again, no matter what. Anyone can be redeemed to eternal life with Christ and we should try and help them with that journey but while they are here on earth they have to accept those consequences. Justice is a Christian virtue alongside mercy. And there is nothing merciful about letting someone dangerous go free.

as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine

writing a canon divergent fix-it fic while also shaking my head to show that i actually really like the canon's tragic narrative and am not trying to say i think it would be better if canon was like this

I can't count how many times I've researched a word because I don't know exactly what it means, only vibes

"you can't pick and choose what you like from canon" common misconception! yes you can

thank you for this addition seriously

Nor do you get to dictate to others what parts of canon they must discard.

YES!!!

If you had a roomba and it was possessed by a ghost, how long do you think it'd take you to notice?

This is in contrast to ink printers, which are possessed as a matter of course

I can't quite explain it, but Clue (1985), The Princess Bride (1987), Galaxy Quest (1999), and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (2023) are all the same genre

They aren't a spoof (roast) or a love letter (tribute), but a best man's speech; an expression of love with a gentle ribbing on ocassion.

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.
