Islamic demons snapping their fingers, from a 17th-century Indian copy of MARVELS OF THINGS CREATED AND MIRACULOUS ASPECTS OF THINGS EXISTING, which was written by Arab physician/astronomer/geographer Abu Yahya Zakariya’ ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini (1203-1283).
WILDERNESS. The LORD OF THE RINGS triptych by Barbara Remington that graced the cover of the 1965 paperback edition. (I’ve included a slightly earlier version and cut it up in three parts, one for each part of the trilogy.)
- Killed a tree because he was angry that it didn’t give him fruit when it wasn’t fruit season
- Destroyed a bunch of tables and chased the owners with a whip
- Blew up and then acted like he didn’t know nobody (Mark 3:33)
- Yelled at his followers for interrupting his nap to let him know their boat was about to sink
- Healed a blind man by spitting on him
- Explicitly ordered his followers to steal a donkey for him
And that’s just the highlights from Mark.
“Why is Jesus feral”
*me, having read the bible* um the boi he wild
its not canon but let me introduce you to the infancy gospel of thomas, a documentation of jesus’s early life in which he was 100% a feral as fuck trickster, featuring the following terrifying acts:
straight out the womb at age 1 he curses a child who withers up and dies (i think the literal translation is he turns the child into a withered corpse)
child accidentally bumps into jesus (or maybe punches him depending on translation) and yeah jesus straight up murdered him
joseph and mary’s neighbors whose son was just murdered complain, so jesus blinds them
then he brings the boys back to life and unblinds the parents but like, not cause he wants to
they get jesus a teacher cause like, he’s clearly feral and honestly becoming a bit evil, jesus starts teaching the teacher shit, the teacher is like wtf youre clearly not human you shouldnt know this shit, and jesus is like “u right fam, i’ll calm down” but then does he calm down? no. he reverses his miracles, the boys are dead and the parents are blind because he’s bitter
brought a dried fish back to life (imagine ur about to have a nice dried fish dinner and mary’s weird kid is like bitch you thought and suddenly its flopping around)
makes some pigeons out of clay and then decides to bring them to life because, why not
kills a man for scolding him and his friends, mary and joseph have to tell him to bring him back to life
and in my favorite miracle he literally befriends lions and brings them up to the gates of the city, scaring the absolute shit out of everyone
they say jesus was born tender and mild, but the truth is he was an absolute savage who would murder you without a second thought and you were entirely dependent on mary and joseph scolding him to bring you back to life. beating the absolute shit out of people in the temple with a whip was chilled out jesus
fully surprised he didnt just let the lions eat the whole town for fun and then bring them back to avoid a spanking
“I think, ultimately, the problem that Reddit has is the same as Twitter and Discord. By focusing on growth and growth only and ignoring the problems, they amassed a large set of cultural norms on their platforms. Their cultural norms are different for every community, but they tend to stem from harassment or abuse or bad behavior, and they have worked themselves into a position where they’re completely defensive and they can just never catch up on the problem. I really don’t believe it’s possible for either of them to catch up on the problem. I think the best that they can do is figure out how to hide this behavior from an average user. I don’t see any way that it’s going to improve. I have no hope for either of those platforms.”
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
Law
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
