  • I think instead of heaven or hell when they die everyone who has ever wanted to fuck Cicero from skyrim should all be put in a big room together and can only pass on to the next afterlife once they find out that 1 secret thing they have in common

  • Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the "lance of longinus" and responded, word for word, "Like from Evangelion?" One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as "Dominican" and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn't meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that's a weird way to say that and I'm pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.

    Additions that prove my point by mystifying me because what on earth would come out of a nail wound besides blood. Are you telling me it was something besides blood. What was jesus full of that wasn't blood. You guys are scaring me

    Apparently it was water?? I guess he was also stabbed on top of being crucified (which feels like overkill imo) and water came out, which was a huge deal in medieval symbolism and also to my medieval poetry professor, who was genuinely shocked and upset that I didn’t know. This man fully docked me points because I, a whole ass Jew, hadn’t somehow heard about the secret waterballoon Jesus lore that I guess everyone is supposed to like… intuit

    On the plus side, it does lead to some absolutely wild medieval Jesus art of angels tapping him like a fucking keg

    a friend of a friend went to go see passion of the christ for kicks without knowing anything about the story


    when jesus was hauled up on the cross he turned to my friend and said, in all evident sincerity, 'i know they're not going to kill the main character but how's jesus getting out of this one?'

  • the tendency to remove complexity from well written protagonists(/antagonists) because of a belief that they'd be more likable if they were simpler very frustratingly coexists with the tendency to give minor characters unnecessary complexity because of a belief that the writers were behaving maliciously against them for treating them like minor characters
