i hope we're all understanding that manousos is the last christian on earth and definitely believes this is some mass demonic possession event, right?

that's why he washes himself in holy water, sleeps in a church, refuses any conversation with the hive and is being ascetic to his own detriment: this is his version of the great tribulation and even dying of an infection on the middle of the forest is better than accepting a ride from the hive

whenever i see movies about end of the world scenarios i always wonder what happens to the religious people in those worlds. every time i've watched infinity war, when people start disappear out of thin air my mind always thinks "probably 20% of the earth is going into religious psychosis right now, it's literally the rapture"

Christian is not the same thing as Catholic. There are many different kinds of Christians. Manousos is CATHOLIC, and it is extremely unusual for a Catholic to believe in demonic possession—that’s far more typical of Evangelicals and similar groups. Manousos makes it very clear that he knows the Hivemind are fucking aliens. He’s not stupid, he’s not a religious fanatic, and he’s not someone whose brain has turned to mush. He’s an adult, intelligent man who understands perfectly well what is going on.

Honestly, the way some of you exoticise certain cultures and load them with mysticism, or can’t even tell the difference between a generic Christian and a Catholic (the Virgin is absolutely key to that distinction, by the way), really shows the stereotyped mindset and the prejudices some people are operating with.

Manousos has a Virgin in his car because, in Catholic culture, carrying the Virgin protects you from fucking accidents. And on top of that, it’s the local Virgin, because what’s customary is to carry your Virgin, not just any random one. And he sleeps in a church not to protect himself from demonic beliefs, but because in the Catholic tradition churches are open spaces that offer refuge to those in need—they are public places for anyone who requires shelter.

Manousos doesn’t want to take anything that isn’t his, nor does he want to interact with the Hivemind at all. So since he’s not going to break into an empty house—because it is NOT HIS PROPERTY—and he’s not going to go to a motel—because he DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO OR ASK ANYONE FOR ANYTHING—he goes where anyone from a Catholic tradition would go to spend the night: a church.

Seriously, stop projecting your Protestant mindset onto cultural contexts you don’t understand. It’s incredibly annoying and deeply disrespectful.

im literally a latino from a catholic family lmao im not pulling this out of my ass. didnt manousos literally call his plurbed "mom" a "demon" at that one point?

all your interpretations make sense with the text of the show but it's so weird that you're trying to scold me over "not understanding the cultural context" for having a completely plausible reading on his character journey this episode (that is so clearly mirroring a pilgrimage)

it's not fanaticism for your beliefs to affect how you interpret certain events, Manousos doesn't carry the Virgin as protection just because it's "cultural", it's because he believes the Virgin Mary is literally in heaven and will be literally watching over him. in the same way, it wouldn't be "stupid" to see people flailing and having their personality supernaturally overriden in service to a purpose you perceive as nefarious and subsequently assume it's related to the devil that you do believe is real due to being catholic

maybe I just get overly emotional about ancient art in general but I can’t stop thinking about this shot from pluribus

like that’s IT. that’s the show.

Thinking about the intersection of personal and the political and slow progress today.

I was recently followed and harassed by a man while walking home from the grocery store. He started walking slightly behind me, asked if my clothes (an ankle length skirt and a purse) were "supposed to be a gay thing" and called me a faggot multiple times with increasing, malicious intensity as I tried to walk faster to get away from him.

The only thing that made him stop and leave me alone was the fact that a group of people gardening outside and a woman walking past at the same time explicitly made themselves known. He gave up because there were witnesses and I thankfully made it safely to my apartment building.

I was open about the experience on Facebook and the response really reminded me of why I put in the work to carry myself kindly when I can, to be an active part of my communities, and to be as open about my identity and experience as I am in spite of harassment like that.

Among the general support and compassion I've received from people, I've also had family friends that I know have been homophobic in the past reach out to make sure I'm recovering well. I've had old school friends who I know are deeply Mormon or Evangelical now and have been transphobic in the past reach out to make sure I am safe, tell me that they're glad I am alright, and that they hope this doesn't stop me from living authentically. The list goes on.

And that all means so much to me - because it means that our passing relationship has positively impacted the way they view queer people. Even if it's just because it's me, it's still an impact that can grow and go somewhere even more positive.

It was absolutely terrifying to be harassed so close to home and I do not want to downplay how shaken I have been by it - but in the same vein the recovery has been so easy because of how comforting it has been to know that the very thing that man was harassing me for has changed the minds of other people for the better.

broke: I love kipperlily and I wish she got redeemed in the finale

woke: I love kipperlily and I hope she comes back worse in the future

[larsnaldo]

it's crazy that as a community we all agreed that the rat-grinders got manipulated into a group suicide when apparently kipperlily willingly pledged herself to the rage cult and then got her whole party ragestarred possibly after she was already brainwashed herself

I fully believe Buddy Dawn should be able to hit a Kristen nat 20 and out of sheer devotion make Bacarath real. absolutely funny as fuck for two senior aguefort clerics to have literally made their own gods (or brought them back to life) and they still are their only followers. yes I know Kristen was able to make yes!(?) real bcs she was in the void but Buddy’s sheer unquestionable faith being able to cause even a minor divine intervention would be so good.
