@crystallinemythos
Welcome to my bible brainrot blog! Feel free to call me Elias or some variation of my username.
I post about Jesus Christ Superstar, the Rebelka Judas comic, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, Corpus Christi by Terence McNally, and a bunch of other media that focuses on Jesus and Judas. I also sometimes post my own Jesus and apostles designs. You can find my art under the tag #mythos' art tag. I also post fic on AO3 sometimes, and advertise it under the tag #mythos' fic tag.
Big J portrait I made for a contest. Ain't he neat?
Arrest of Christ in the garden of Gethsemane (The kiss of Judas). 118x133, oil on canvas
This is my diploma painting for my college, I got A for this :)
made a comic about jesus and st. peter, my fav apostle
they reason they both look like they just survived a hurricane is because in the bible, peter saw jesus on the shore while he was fishing and he was so excited he jumped into the water and swam to greet him and jesus made him and the other disciples a fire and food lol
Uh so hi there
This was this year's Holy Thursday thing but I posted it on tiktok and tg only since I completely forgot about this blog's existence

It was cloying to those it favored: it offered the richest of the rich more opportunities to amass wealth and comfort. To those it loathed, it was tar poured down their throat: suffocating and, if they were lucky, leading to a quick death.

Summary:
Judas startled, gasping a little to himself. He whipped around only to see a bright green parrot sitting in the center of the room atop the desk, an aberration in the gray-toned, dusty study. He stared at it, eyes wide and heart racing, convinced that what he just heard could not have come from this strange bird that was not there a moment prior. The noise is coming from me.
Judas—unsure of what happened before he was led to this mysterious, empty home—has an encounter with God in a form he does not expect.
Oh my god, I'm realizing I wrote this before I had actually read Jonah and it fits much better than I thought from my brief summary skim

a character who truly, legitimately goes “but why does that matter?” about their feelings when someone who cares about them asks. and the sudden falling of everyone around them’s faces as they realize that this person doesn’t recognize themself as someone who needs or should be taken care of. i want Everyone to hurt. surprise at the idea, worry for them, horror at not having noticed. do you see this person who doesn’t think of themselves as a person?
Judas from Andreev's story
Saint John the Baptist Pointing to Christ in a Landscape by Carlo Maratti
1656, Oil on Canvas
Carlo Maratti was one of the most prominent and prolific painters working in the classical tradition in seventeenth-century Rome. Here, he illustrates the scene from the Gospel of John in which John the Baptist identifies the new prophet. The subject offered artists the opportunity to depict the verdant, idealized landscape that is the customary setting for this biblical event. Landscapes appealed to collectors, and a relatively small picture, such as this one, could be executed without a patron and exhibited by the artist for sale. This painting remains in its original frame. Its symmetry, simplicity, and classical lines made this an especially popular type in Rome from about 1680 to 1750. The artist used it so frequently that it was later called a “Maratti frame.”
Love the "you see this shit?????" vibe St. John the Baptist has in this one lmao

Christ and St. Peter at the Sea of Galilee by Scarsellino
1585-1590, Oil on Canvas
Scarsellino was born and worked in Ferrara but was strongly influenced by painting in Venice, where he likely trained during the 1570s. Formerly attributed to Jacopo Tintoretto, this work bears many of the hallmarks of sixteenth-century Venetian painting: a rustic outdoor setting, dramatic contrasts of light and dark, rich color, and a loose, gestural style of depicting drapery with “lightning bolt” strokes that index the rapid movements of the brush. Although the Sea of Galilee gleams placidly in the distance, a gust of wind blows in the foreground, lifting Peter’s cape. According to the book of Matthew, the disciple saw Christ walking on water and tried to swim toward him; frightened by strong winds, he began to drown, until Christ saved him. Three other disciples visibly react to the scene from their fishing boat. As dawn breaks on the horizon, light surrounds Christ’s head like an aureole. The expressive gestures and luminous seascape lend the scene an urgent, ecstatic quality.
