being individuals together is so intimate. let’s read different books but curled up next to each other, let’s visit a coffee shop so you can study & i can write, let’s just be near each other
“and you cannot stop me.”
- Nikita Gill
as much as the concept of Jesus being a fairly normal lad has its charms, im personally very intrigued by the idea of him being just… extremely weird. not even in a mystical sense, just…….staggeringly BIZZARRE.
you go to the well to get some water, and here’s Miriam’s boy, staring at the sky, completely still. his expression is unreadable. you hazard a hello and ask how he’s doing, and he slowly, unblinkingly, lowers his gaze on you (he’s 8 and is missing his frontal teeth, not that this is making you any less uncomfortable) and says “I cannot speak of the state of my being, Nathan son of Saul, my brother, but rejoice for the water you shall take today will be as pure as the soul of the children of Heaven”
…you start sweating
normal person in 1st century Nazareth: making my way downtown, walking fast
*sees J boy, 8 yo, staring at you from across the street*
normal person: walking faster
even funnier, the only person 100% on board with his Prophetic Kid Talk is his mother Miriam, an otherwise placid, absolutely normal woman around 25 or so
kid JC, coming home at twilight, a single white dove following him and chirping with weirdly human-like precision:

Miriam: ! that’s my little boy :) now let’s go get ready for dinner :)
her husband Yosef, a carpenter who only marginally got signed up for this:
This post is so Christian, but it’s the spicy kind of Christian that gets you murdered by other Christians for heresy, so I’m torn.
literally biggest form of compliment i’ve ever gotten
that means the angels are babysitters then

You guys really need to read Christopher Moore’s Lamb, if you haven’t.
Always reblog Cryptid Jesus

Schikaneder das Musical; Vienna, 2016/2017 - Eleonore Schikaneder’s costumes
A modern map laid over a 1700 map of Europe
aka why “borders” are totally fake. Fun things to notice:
- Switzerland is pretty much unchanged. Good for them.
- Spain and Portugal (and that part of the Kingdom of France and Navarre) have sorted themselves out, but only because they’d shifted to South and Central American colonial feuds and the Pope had to step in and tell them to chill
- What will be modern Italy is not unified (the big southern part is the Kingdom of Naples, so go Naples)
- The Ottoman Empire is still a thing (and hasn’t committed the Armenian Genocide yet, so we can like them)
- I’d point out modern Germany, but it really looks more like a Jackson Pollock painting than an area (this is why the (Protestant) Reformation mentions all those pesky German Princes who can’t agree on anything except not liking the Pope)
- That huge thing that takes up most of Poland and Belarus? The Kingdom of Poland!
- That conglomerate of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, and friends? The Hapsburg Empire (yes, THOSE Hapsburgs who had been involved in the Holy Roman Empire - actually German - and were a little too into inbreeding so that they cursed themselves with jaw deformities)
- Poor Finland is owned by Sweden, will eventually be owned by Imperial Russia, and is not granted independence until after the (socialist) October Revolution of 1917 only to have a bloody (but brief) civil war….which is why you don’t mess with the Finns who have centuries of repressed colonial rage underneath their nice language
this theatre magazine from 1993 really gets it
i love watching recipe videos on youtube but i HATE how popular “oil free” shit seems to be lately. you cant “sauté” your vegetables in water you are STEAMING them
“we’re using peanut butter/tahini/avocado/whatever as a substitute for oil 😌” madame WHAT do you think is in your Oil Substitute
everytime i see a european... present the argument of "but your country has so much racism going on" to an american....... thats so bold..... racism really just simply doesnt exist in europe anymore......we did it....we started it but apparently......we also ended it..... no more
true romance
