People ask me how I can be queer and Christian at the same time and the answer is that I’m just that cool and epic
Seriously though I just do it. Jesus never said it’s illegal for me to be this cool. Religious queer people in general often get asked by faith communities and the queer community how or why they do that and the answer is: What are you, a cop?
Oh Laika, patron saint of one way trips, I hope our sun is a warm yellow ball to forever play with.
We compare Loki to fire because watching a flame, you witness how truly free it is. Fire is unpredictable, it’s constantly in motion. You never know what it’ll do, where it’s going to go, or where it’s going to stop. You can never know if it’ll grow tall enough to make a building collapse, or if it’ll die down by itself when you press the trigger of a lighter. And still, fire is dancing: it’s bouncy and bright, it feels so alive and joyous. Fire is an enemy, a pest and a troublemaker, but it’s also a friend, especially when you’re freezing to your bones in the cold.
We picked you because we saw greatness,
We picked you because you were the best.
We picked you and you loved us,
And we loved you too.
We called you a name,
We made you home.
Between our game,
Between the unknown.
When we made you a new house,
We loved you.
When we knew it was a coffin,
We loved you.
When we kissed you nose goodbye,
We loved you.
When we sent you to the sky,
We loved you.
You were confused, most likely,
Scared, certainly.
And we loved you.
As the engine died,
As you were left alone in the dark,
No one you could recognize around,
In a space too small yet too vast.
Did you know that we loved you ?
Did it matter ?
You died like a star,
And we never saw you again,
We were the reason, I'm afraid.
At never again, my friend.
The novel ones are all real situations in my novels by the way, the screenwriting one are complied from friends and my own experiences.
Funnily enough, I actually prefer writing screenplays because of the limits. My novels are fantastical magical other worlds with dragons and sorcerers, but my screenplays are mostly realist family comedy-dramas.
(Except the Baby’s First Steampunk Horror and The Mystery Series Set in an Asylum For Were-People, but they’re exceptions)
thinking about how the bible is all affect. about how it is an oral thing, a leak between bodies, a murmur between lovers or a yell at a wound or a song in a nursery. the bible is a language that falls over itself. it is a word left untranslated. i am thinking of סֶֽלָה (selah), a transliterated word that means nothing except for when it means everything—it is a word that is really a sigh. or, i am thinking of יהוה (yhwh), the name of god that is no name at all but instead the panting of breath. affective, rhythmic, pulsing, the bible and its language can't catch up to itself. it was never meant to. cantillation and intonation can do no good with a text in excess. nor anything the masoretes did, nor new lexicons either (הַֽלְלוּ/hallelujah can't attach itself to meaning, no matter how hard you try)
Someone: “People would never do anything without monetary gain”
Dungeon masters, Minecraft players, fanfic writers:
Most of the time, if you do something odd you're not allowed to do, getting you out of there is all that people are really concerned with. If you haven't stolen anything, caused any material damage, and clearly have no intention to put up a fight over being removed from the situation, you're not worth the trouble of getting you into trouble. Somebody who's unloading boxes from a company van to a storage and comes back to the truck to find that some weirdo has climbed inside the van through the open back doors doesn't get paid enough to forcibly physically detain you until the police arrive.
Most likely they just go "dude. could you like fuck off? you're not supposed to be there." And as soon as you shrug like "yeah lmao I know, sorry, impulse overtook me" and clearly proceed to comply with the request to fuck off, you're free to go, they're just relieved that you're gone. Most people aren't hell-bent on vengeance and punishment, they just want you to stop being their problem.
