For @pitviperofdoom’s YUTS!! I love this fic with my whole heart and I FINALLY (seriously, it’s been ages) got around to drawing something for it!

"In a different timeline, they could have been you"

Dehumanizing bigots is bad, not because I want to be nice to them, but because they are human beings and they serve as a reminder that anyone is capable of evil ideation and action. Violent bigots are not fundamentally different beings from you. They are human beings, who have developed a reactionary and destructive belief system due to their circumstances combined with their biases. In a different timeline, that could've been you. Anyone can be radicalized. Nobody is immune to propaganda, not even the person reading this.

Let it be known that I, a pastoral ministry student, have a grudge against Gideon from the book of Judges. I will not elaborate

the man told his son to execute enemy generals when he was a teenager and then said son got murdered by his evil brother. who makes a child murder people what the heck Gideon, you gotta be kideon me I'm aware that Judges is a master class is flawed humans and how they mess up as they get further and further from God but holy heck you just told a child to kill people and then raised your other children so badly that one of them decided to make himself a king and then killed literally all of his brothers except for like. one I mean I just

TL;DR, Judges is one of the hardest books of the Bible for Christians to deal with, to the point that we almost never talk about it.

It's about the brokenness. It's not necessarily about "heroes," it's about how the people spiral away from God further and further until they're unrecognizable and twisted. They move away from the age of prophets advising the people to this mess. It's the bad part, but it points the way to a king in Israel to bring stability, which leads to David and his line, which leads to Jesus. It's the down swing, the painful reminder of how evil humanity can become. It's a snapshot of our sin. It's becoming a monster not just to God but to people. I'm screaming

I elaborated

Abolish the comic book industrial complex 🙂

600 words. Do it. Write 600 words. That's a page and a bit. The girl next to me did it in the third grade. I didn't do that in the third grade but writing's a skill. Develop it. ChatGPT will only kneecap your ability to communicate effectively in the future. Work on it. Don't compare your journey to anyone else's. Be patient and kind to yourself. Write write write. You'll get there.

This is 72 words

im still losing it over the "how did high schoolers write 600 word essays before chatgpt" post. 600 words. that is nothing. that is so few words what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 words. this post right here is 45 words.

On Anakin vs Barriss Offee: I love that it gets Anakin dual-wielding again. He should have done it all the time, it looks so cool with him

SO TRUE actually having a second lightsaber to match his padawan would fix him
