sid wright invoking a new god of sleep with the power of his desperation and killing hundreds of people in the process as the foreshadowing for paige raising a god of martyrs to lay waste to armies by being invoked by desperate dying casualties of war.... MMMMMM

tumblr: ….so you’re homophobic.
writer:
“You tell me to be a biblical woman. You tell me to be a biblical so that I might become silent, complicit, weak. Become a biblical woman. Become complacent with the authority of a man. I am a biblical woman. I am Deborah with the power to control the armies, the wisdom to prophesy. I do not tolerate the cowardice of men. I will give victory and honor where it is due: to the woman who is brave enough to stand. I am Jael. I have the blood of the enemy on my hands. I saw a victory for my people and I took it. I took with a warm glass of milk and a tent peg to his head. I am a biblical woman. I am Esther, who stood up to the men in power and saved my people. I used my beauty and my position to do what is right. I am a queen. I am Ruth, a foreigner who left everything she had for the sake of loyalty to family. I seduced the man who I knew could provide for me. I worked hard to provide for myself and for my family. I am a biblical woman. I am Bathsheba, who was taken advantage of by the king. I am more than just a bathing woman on the roof. He objectified me. He murdered my husband. And he was the one who paid the price. I am Abigail, whose wit and wisdom prevented violence. I rescued my husband from his own foolishness, and I prevented the King from acting rashly and violently. I am brilliant. I am a biblical woman. I am Rahab, the prostitute. I am Mary, the pregnant teenager. I am Junia, the female apostle. I am Dorcas, the woman who served the poor. I am the woman at the well. An outsider welcomed into the kingdom of God. You think that I must be silent and meek to become a biblical woman? You do not know what a biblical woman is.”

For all the men who have made biblical women out to be nothing but silent property.

what’s it called when you’re so disconnected from reality that cold water doesn’t feel like anything and you can barely taste food anymore

I’m really enjoying VAST Horizon so far, but like. The ai character. Girl I need you to just bite someone full force just once. You want to go rampant so bad it makes you look stupid but you’ve so thoroughly convinced yourself that your suffering is noble, and listen. I NEED you to self actualize and go rampant.
Like. Ai who talks like an ai assistant who isn’t fully aware of everything going on around them, but keeps flashing these signs of deeper awareness and this sort of deep set pain, and frustration at her boundaries that are smothered under a kind tone, and unconditional subservience. I NEED YOU TO GO RAMPANT
Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.
I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me
sometimes you do just have to lie to children.
i think one of the things with the sibs that makes me go the most feral is just how little time they spent together.
when season one starts, they’ve been together for sixteen days. we then witness them spend about a week together.
in season two, they have a day.
in season three, it's an hour at most.
that is, generously rounded, a month. this series spans two years. they got to 'hopelessly and helplessly entangled' in a month out of two years. a MONTH out of TWO YEARS was all it took for them to change each other, probably forever, if they lived that long.
one of the theses of The Silt Verses is that platonic love can be just as devastating and life-altering as romance love and by god if these two don't embody that.
