So i apparently have a few cavities and am now banned from sugary drinks. I live off of sugary drinks. I think i’m in hell
The tale of Lilith
There are a lot of accounts about the ‘demon-ness Lilith’, and her origin story leads a lot to be desired. Apparently, she was the first wife of Adam in Sumerian folklore, and because she did not want to be under Adam’s control any longer, and became, depending on which account you read, a vampire, a demon-ess, or a harlot, or all three, for not wanting to be apart of ‘God’s plan.’ The Sumerian accounts, taken from the 3rd millennium, were the first accounts of what happened to her before the biblical Hebrews surmised of her.
She is described as a ‘beautiful maiden’ but was believed to be a harlot, who once took a lover, offered no satisfaction to him, nor would she ever let him go. According to the Sumerian epic, dating from around 2000 B.C, ‘Gilgamesh and the Huluppu Tree’ and was ‘‘believed to appear to have human eyes. She is slender, well-shaped, beautiful, and nude, with wings, and owl feet. She stands erect on two reclining lions which are turned away from each other and are flanked by owls. On her head, she wears a cap embellished by several pairs of horns. In her hand, she holds a ring-and-rod combination. Evidently, this is no longer a lowly she-demon, but a goddess who tames wild beasts, and as shown by the owls on the reliefs, rules by night.’’
Apparently, the earliest mention of the ‘she-demon, whose name is similar to that of Lilith is found in the Sumerian king list which dates from around 2400 B.C. ‘‘It states, that the father of the great Gilgamesh was a Lilu-demon. The Lilu was one of four demons belonging to an incubi-succubae class. The other three were Lilitu (Lilith), a she-demon; Ardat Lili, or her handmaiden, who visited men in the night and bore them ghostly children. There is also the tale of the Irdu Lili, who was her male counterpart and would visit women and beget children by them. Originally these were storm demons, but because of a mistaken etymology, they came to be regarded as night demons. On one brief reference to Lilith in the Bible, Isaiah 34:14, in describing Yahweh’s (God) day of vengeance, says: The wild cat shall meet with the jackals, And the satyr shall cry to to his fellow, Yea, Lilith shall repose there, And find her a place of rest.’’
SO today I went into the bathroom at school and there was writing scrawled all over the wall there. It read Croatoan. Lucifer is coming...again.
Supernatural fandom is already getting ready for the best scenario.

Something I think a lot of xians don’t get is that while Judaism and Tanakh are absolutely essential to xianity and it making any kind of sense, Judaism in no way needs anything xianity has to offer, nor is modern rabbinic Judaism dependent on the existence of xianity. We exist entirely outside of and independent of xianity and Judaism (both as it was before the fall of the Second Temple as well as modern rabbinic Judaism) would have continued just fine without xianity. If xianity somehow disappears from the earth entirely, Judaism will still be here and will still make sense.
On the other hand, if Judaism and all of its texts were to disappear, xianity is no longer intelligible. And that is what I mean when I say that xianity is parasitic on Judaism. This is not a mutual or symbiotic relationship, no matter how hard xians seem to want to think it is.
GCSE exam time...to ask how I feel, have this image
Did the whole Xbox Hard Drive thing from scratch
To put it simply, it was hell and I don't want to do it again
Anyway here's me copying Blinx to my drive... again.
Similar to most judicial systems! You need to prove Actus Reus and Mens Rea (Guilty Action AND Guilty Mind) to be able to convict someone of a crime! The courts need to prove that there was intention and knowledge of wrong doing. Which would explain why despite being ‘tangled up’ in her family’s web of crime, Molly ended up in heaven.
I think I figured out what makes a soul go to either Heaven or Hell!!
In the latest episode Welcome to Heaven, we see a moment during the trial where Charlie asks Adam what he thinks it takes to get into Heaven. And he doesn’t actually seem to know. He makes a list of what he thinks got him there, but when provided evidence of a demon doing the same thing, defaults you “then why isn’t he here?”.
We realize that NONE of Heaven actually knows what gets someone to Heaven, and the characters acknowledge that angels are free to be as sinful as they want, but they still get to stay.
Which got me thinking, yeah, how did Adam get into Heaven? He’s awful. Then it hit me: he’s there because he thinks he deserves to be. Think of the demons we know. Alastor, Angel, Husker, Cherri, Valentino. These are all people who have done wrong and they know it. If you were to ask them, I think they’d tell you they deserve to be in Hell.
Isn’t it strange? That we’ve never met a demon who thinks there’s been some mistake? That they deserve to be in Heaven and they shouldn’t be in Hell? Hell should be chock full of people like that, but it isn’t.
I think it’s because if you think you deserve to be in Heaven, that’s where you go. And if you think you deserve to go to Hell? That’s where you stay. It explains why Adam is an angel-despite being a horrible person, he’s completely self righteous, even saying “I’ve never made a mistake in my fucking life.” Of course he’d think he deserves to go to Heaven! It’s how Molly went to Heaven and Angel went to hell, despite them leading similar lives-she thought she should go there.
If this is the case, then all the good deeds in the world won’t redeem a sinner. The only thing that will is repairing them and their mental state enough that they truly feel they deserve better. And I’d be fascinated to see how that goes!
its time to finally get a new brush and start working with that. a few drawings will be awkward until i get the settings and stuff right, but then i will finally be on my way to 1000 hmmm.
WOWZA i am going to be struggling for a long time to improve my art i realize. literally every artist i look up to and try to learn from has super thin lineart and lots of detail but i keep falling into thick lineart. i have to fix that but its so hard. maybe i need to get my eyes checked out.
Lachrymorose
Seconds away from crying
This Hoover Dam of an eyelid is doing a good job
But it’s seconds away from breaking
All these tears dammed up inside could make Lake Lachrymose,
Leeches, Aunt Josephine and all
That was until she took the fall...
Tears on a cliff
Stacked up on a penny
About to spill over the thin edge
My hot tears
Have the potential
To set this place on fire
I know that
If I were to let them tumble down
They would burn my flesh with streams of lava
Droplets from the sun
Rain from Venus
This salt water is boiling within
Like tears from Rappaccini’s daughter
I am on my own
For I am poison
But I refuse to let them fall
Like pieces of hell
Raining from the ceiling
Fire
Burning, tired anger
What am I doing with this stranger?
The world on fire, is a danger
Let it burn My existence is a shout into the void
I came out irritated and annoyed
Talking and joking just to avoid,
The fact that the world is on fire Live and burn
It’s always my turn
Why can’t I learn?
It’s because I’m trying not to catch a fire Teachers make me fail
Dietitians make me eat lousy kale
I’ll never stop listening to the storm with the hail
In order to mute the crackle of the flame I don’t need saving
But the charred roads need a new paving
But for Sara I’ll try to keep braving
I’m not brave; I’m just immune to the burn I can’t send mail
I think I’m made out of puppy dog tails
Not sugar and spices that you can buy in pails
Red, orange, yellow, blue Where are you mystery one?
The world is now the sun
Living in hell with no where to run
What moment did the world catch fire?
Hell is a Living Creature
“Hell is a living creature
The damned are the billion billion bacteria in its stomach
~
Hell resides in the waters Heaven rained down
that the light of God doesn’t reach
~
It will grow for as long as time permits
Never outgrowing it’s enclosure
~
At the end of time
God will fish Hell from the depths & eat him
Then all will be one again”
________
Thinking of concepts like ‘No More Room in Hell’, I thought that if Hell were real, it’d have to be a living creature, ever-growing the more & more it consumes & maintaining the heat.
________
Hell is a Goldfish that will never outgrow its bowl.
Sweet sweet choo choo hell ❤️
I had to get this out of my system.
;; el coliseo romano
Fueron enviados, conscientes, siendo seres inolvidables. Seres detestables e impropios de la tierra en la que habitaban, hasta que los eliminaron.
Los asesinaron uno por uno, de las peores formas, uno frente al otro. Se reían mientras clavaban sus cuchillas en los pechos de aquellos seres y de frente.
Siempre era de frente.
Ellos tenían que ver cómo eran atacados, asesinados y por quiénes.
Cada sombra que ingresaba en su alma, cada lágrima derramada, cada latido, cada respiración, cada suspiro, cada último aliento, cada parpadeo, cada sueño eterno sin retorno.
Todos y cada uno de ellos siendo asesinados por demonios, demonios que llevaban sus caras. Demonios que eran ellos mismos, se asesinaban y sufrían...solo sufrían. Y morían sin más, libres.
Libres al saber que había acabado.
...que había acabado su estancia en el infierno y comenzaba al fin la supuesta paz del reino prometido, de sus esperanzas y sueños perdidos, rotos por el tiempo y el espacio.
Un universo maldito por crueldades que no conoce el amor ni el bien, reinado por las peores criaturas, las más malvadas, por esos seres...
I had a half awake dream today, that Judas, now rotting and fresh out of hell came to collect my soul and the only thing I was worried about was that I didn't get to have Kaveh in GI and I think that sums up my personality completely

Boo Hiss: Jingles
It would appear that the commercial jingle is back and back with the vengeance of a Spider-Man, a Conan the Barbarian, or a guy from any movie/show/legend in which he becomes a Gladiator.
Looking back on my childhood, the jingle that stands out most is Meow Mix. That little cat is now singing inside of your head. With one onomatopoetic word, they created something that stuck with people, across generations, for years and years. Smart.
The only other two stand out examples are products of Chicago-land's greatest carpeting and flooring rivalry: Empire vs. Luna. Here are the lyrics to these two jingles:
800-588-2300 Empiiiiire
vs.
773-202-*sound of four phone keys being pushed* Lunaaaaa
Creative. Anyone who grew up within a three hour radius of Chicago can start one of these jingles, and by the end at least two other people will have joined in. What they lack in creativity, they make up for in brevity and being memorable. Smart.
Now, all this is to say that the jingle has always seemed to me like a thing of the past to me, like something out of I Love Lucy. They're effective only to a certain point (e.g. I don't buy cat food, and I've not yet had a need for floor covering), and, most importantly, they can backfire. The recent outcropping of jingles has, I fear, done just that.
Take this piece of crap for instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UH3CshbUHZY&feature=related
This is what my brain does during that commercial:
"This song is relevant to pizza, but what's all this scrawling across the screen? It's too small then TOO BIG! And his red pants and his murdery red room and he sounds a little pitchy, dawg and the doodling's not helping. Those rocker hands look like cacti. Who is that big-nosed guy in the back? Is that Inspector Clouseau? That's a pretty big rip-off, and he doesn't have anything to do with pizza! Oh, it's over...What was he saying"
Not smart.
This commercial jingle from Post-Its though makes the Pizza Hut song sound like sweet baby cherubim: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q3DMW4e0OE
I am filled with bilious rage on hearing this song. This isn't even a jingle anymore, this is a 90s lady-singer-songwriter jam about plastic tabs. It reminds me of that episode of Friends where Phoebe's old music partner comes back, and she writes shitty jingles for stew and sells out "Smelly Cat" (fun fact: that actress also voiced Tommy Pickles!).
Look, Post-It has a brand and they are sticking to it. Their products truly make my life easier, but there are no ground breaking situations in which I'd use a "durable tab" they've presented to me there.
Where would I use "a durable tab"? Pretty much anywhere I have a plain old, REGULAR POST-IT like my planners, cookbooks, files, paper work, but for Pete's sake, if your binder dividers for a home assembled take-out book didn't come with built-in tabs, then that's your fault for being an idiot and not thinking about that at Office Depot when buying them.
NOT SMART.
I do not think these jingles are effective. I do not think they have a place on my TV or in my brain. The problem that they demonstrate is that we're moving away from the purpose of a jingle in the first place. It was quick, catchy, memorable. This latest crop are long, over-wrought, over-produced songs. They have nothing original to say, they're just statements with a tune.
It's tough to admit given their abundance, but the only people doing it right are the Free Credit Score guys. They are clever and present their information in a unique way. I'm not super pumped when one gets stuck in my head, but when it inevitably does, I don't want to kill all the things in the world (lookin' at you, Post-its).
In the end, if you're not using music as a means to disguise an otherwise boring ad, you can stick around. But if you are...then BOO HISS.
