Hey, you know that movie "Gunpowder Milkshake" on Netflix? Tell me why it's was so kidnap-dads coded. Like:

- new parental figure killed/disposed of the child(ren)'s parental figure(s) (third kinslaying/ Sam kills Emily's dad)

- child(ren) goes through terrifying circumstances with new parental figure (hanging out with fëanorians, watching Sirion burn, etc.../ seeing her dad's corpse, helping kill people, being kidnapped)

- child(ren) dislikes new parental figure after a Situation, only to forgive the new parental figure later (E&E definitely hate M&M after Third Kinslaying/ Emily learns that Sam killed her dad and did not like that)

- end of generational trauma (M&M try to be good parents in a war zone [not saying Fëanor and Nerdanel were bad parents]/ Sam helps create a loving, safe environment for Emily so that she won't have to kill people)

- child(ren) is kidnapped no less than one time (self-explanatory)

So in my Spanish class, the teacher has assignments on the board that say something like, "Tiana es Alta y trabajadora."

But recently, she ran out of Disney princesses and random names, so she had us write names on index cards and turn them in.

She handed me a couple of index cards, and I immediately the knowledge of the House of Finwë spark in my brain like,

There was a song in church today that mentioned "three in one" and my silly little brain connected the dots.

So here's the thing: accepting Jesus as your lord and savior cleanses the soul, right?

The Trinity is "three in one".

By converting to Christianity and following Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit, you are essentially getting the best 3-in-1 soap you'll ever see because it CLEANSES (cleans? Whatever) your soul.

And, get this, most 3-in-1 soaps kinda suck; this one is the best one on the shelf.

And for good price too, ngl

You know, I think it's nice that the story of the Samaritan woman is in the Bible. Like, in those times, women were not often given very many freedoms, and not often mentioned in texts, so I enjoy it very much.

And also, I think it's very nice because Jesus is just hanging out at a well, vibing, as one does, and He offers this lady---whose people hate his people---the love of Christ. Like He is SUPPOSED to not like this lady because of her culture and her people; Jewish people in that time would literally WALK AROUND Samaria just so they didn't have to talk to the people there (That's also what the Disciples wanted to do)!

So Jesus coming to this woman out of the blue, forgiving her of any sins she had committed, and generally being kind to her in a time of sexism cultural dislike is AMAZING! Not only is He defying societal norms by going through Samaria and seeing the people there, He's also speaking with this woman because he wanted to! Because He cared!

Jesus doesn't care what your past is, where you come from, or if you've done wrong in your life. He loves YOU, regardless of what you've done in the past.

I like that.

The final project for my Spanish class was to make a piñata, and, seeing as the brain rot has fully consumed me, I made my piñata to be the flag of Gondor on the back and the Trees of Valinor, Laurelin and Telperion, on the front.

I am very happy with the results!
