Hello, I'm Chris :]

I'm 27, gay and a trans man. I am boring and have little to no fun

Currently working on my BA in Religious Studies with a minor in South Asian Studies with plans for a MA and beyond. I also enjoy continental and post-colonial philosophy

I am extremely white and canadian and am always open to being checked by my south asian friends and followers. my goal is always to work on my scholarship in the most ethical way i can, but the spectre of Orientalism still looms large in the field

free palestine, justice for mmiwg

ask me for alt/indie music recs :)

Miquella, The Unalloyed Empyrean

One of my favorite pieces from last year, it was inspired by the Prayer room and that little altar you see behind the grace, is where that drawing takes place ♥

I would like to believe, it was here when he infused the sword with the prayer "O brother, lord brother...please die a true death."

What I love about this, though, is that the little nails will become an outline of where the water was. It will trace the shape, show someone later what was there once upon a time. It will be a testament to how much this guy wanted to capture the amazing things he saw and experienced, and though it will never truly keep it, it will hold a memory, something that in itself is beautiful and worthy of experience. We cannot describe the indescribable, but we can trace its outline, give some idea of what we experienced.

Last screamy burd!

I like Nightjars SO DANG MUCH! They look like they have an itty-bitty tiny beak (and whiskers), then suddenly GWAAH! HUGE MOUTH! All the better to vacuum insects with!
