It seems like a lot of you want the straight equivalent of Chuck Tingle, writing stories about drawing close to the engorged chest glands of your Argonian maid, taking in the slightly acidic scent of her unique reptilian microbiome as she pulls your head toward her bare, scaly chest. You feel the rough texture of the iguana skin nipple rising from the almost slimy, slick surface of her bosom. Then your mouth fills with bitter hist sap, the hallucinogen feeding your perverse lust as you feel her hot, acrid breath on your ear and hear her throat rumbling softly with hunger. IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!

The rotating minimap is an inherently female phenomenon. The world revolves around you—the typical experience of post-war western women—rather than the objectively superior method of fixing the map to north practiced by all explorers and militaries for all history. The default Apple maps experience reflects its user base: dominated by females and effeminate males dominated by females. If a game has a rotating minimap, it is a sign that female developers may have been involved. Exercise caution, or you could get longhoused, like the countless poor chaps turned gay by Dragon Age Inquisition, which is honestly a 1/10 game for the minimap alone.

This is giving me flashbacks to a rented house of some people I knew ~20 years ago. They named it "Kashyyyk." There is a kind of person who dreams of living like this. They WANT this. They spend all their time destroying "their communal property" (rented). And they get uglier along with the house. Fatter, sallow skin, worse shape, hacking all the time from the cannabis habit - but they are vegan now. Their clothes are full of holes. They play shitty music in the garage. They drink PBR all night and only stop to hit the bong or barf. Why did I know them? Well, the decay takes a long time. You meet as college freshman and they are normal. By graduation (if they graduate) they are insane from it all. Eventually, they are evicted, but it's just a bump in the road. They crash on a couch, put a curtain up in a living room, and never leave their friend's house. Keep on chugging that PBR. Smoke that stress. Scratch communist slogans into your stolen guitar.

An interesting thing is I've never heard Dracula discussed in any of my literature classes. Kind of like Tarzan, to the literati it might as well not exist. To that end, the modern post-protestant bugman wouldn't understand it since it is a traditionalist Christian story where the physical sacraments actually DO things. Vampirism is an inversion of the Eucharist. Christ's blood brings you life but drinking the vampire's blood takes it, just as he takes life. The male vampire lusts for the woman and kills and damns her, taking from her rather than a 'putting in" to her for the procreation of new life. The woman vampire lusts for the child as an inversion of all things female, and is especially an inversion of the Theotokos. She seeks to devour that which should be held to her breast. The vampire must sleep on holy ground, in a church. This is an inversion of the relics of saints, which rest under the altars of our churches. Their remains on this Earth perform miracles, the remains of the vampire steal salvation. The vampire as a whole is an inversion of the saints and of Christ their model, who lives in heaven and whose body is blessed on Earth; Dracula persists in a physical Sense on Earth but is cut off from the spiritual realm forever, and that with all his power he is ultimately powerless against the body of Christ. The characters wake up not only from a modern sensibility, but from there modern English Protestant worldview, wherein religion is an intellectual rather than physical exercise. The peasants of Transylvania give Jonathan symbols like the crucifix which have power over Dracula, and he remarks how he was taught that such things were blasphemous, but quickly learns their virtue. Most of the male protagonists begin the tale as skeptics, but their trials turn them into true believers. In essence, their struggle against Dracula is the means by which they come to God.
On May 3, over 100 years ago, young solicitor Jonathan Harker arrived in Transylvania, where a living shadow of the Old World would put his modern mentality to the deadliest of tests. An example of what I like to call: "modernity's innocence" Want to know more? Link below 👇

Some people are shitting on this trauma dump, but I can tell you first hand that this is a major problem at universities, and especially in the arts. So much of your academic career is built upon interpersonal relationships that if you a professor hates you or sabotages you that can mean you never get a fellowship, internship, can't graduate, can't get into grad school, can't get that first teaching position, can't get a grant... Everything is built on recommendations, committees (especially in the arts), inside baseball on journal publications, etc. Even in our litigious, sexual-harassment sensitive world a professor can have massive power over a student in a way an employer, for example, cannot. Unless you've been an academic you may not get this. It's easy to be manipulated at 18, and the real and perceived power can make one feel like she cannot say "no" without losing everything, including all social connections, which tend to be concentrated in the department for arts students. At the same time, your career depends on schmoozing other academics... Keeping your distance has costs. Seen MANY inappropriate things, including sexual misconduct. Never seen a professor suffer meaningfully for it. I don't know what the academic equivalent of the blue wall of silence is, but it's real, at least in the arts. I suspect as much from the sciences given our current research schizophrenia but I haven't witnessed it firsthand, and I doubt students are spending as much unrestricted time with instructors in STEM as they are in music.

Community note says it all. But I just thought I'd add that if you're protestant it's easy to miss obviously Christian events, such as Gandalf offering the sacrament of confession to Saruman and then defrocking him. There's also a general misunderstanding of what paganism is and what the pagan mindset was. This attempt to analyze the work attempts to link it with mythological ideas but paganism as a religious area was really about ritual. You find this very prominent in the old epics by Homer and Virgil. If it was really a pagan work it would be full of things like auspices, oracles, burnt sacrifices, etc. Calling upon Elbereth was for talking more alike evoking a saint (Mary), not a god, as the pagan focuses on transactive rites, not prayer, intercession, or holy names.
Lord of the Rings is a masterful and edifying work - but... It is certainly not a Christian. Rather, it fits much more comfortably in the mold of the old heroic Pagan epics. Little thread 🧵🧵🧵🧵🧵

People who say there is no good Christian Media are invariably comparing Christian™ lifestyle brand media to pop media in general. Christian™ media is corporate art whose consumption is marketed as a fulfillment of a carefully cultivated identity. It is not designed to be persuasive or even good because that doesn't matter much to the target demographic. The proper comparison is not Pure Flix movies but Mel Gibson films, or anything pre-boomer which is Christian by default.
