when the fanartist draws ur ship growing old together but you lowkey envisioned them as dying tragically at 27 after a 5 year substance abuse spiral 😭😭😭

#thought that would happen in Demon Slayer #they didn’t die but they didn’t come out unscathed #well most didn’t die #a lot did get scars and last damage however

I'm just saying, if you're going to worldbuild magic being a "raw, primal force, akin to and interweaving with nature itself" you gotta explain to me why animals don't use it

the-punforgiven

I know the normal answer is "they just aren't smart enough for it" but idk I've seen enough media where a character uses a spell in a moment of brain-off panic ilI feel like animals could probably stumble into a spell or two like, accidentally

the-punforgiven

Also how funny would it be to see a completely normal regular bear cast magic missile outta nowhere

the-punforgiven

Also there is no way ravens wouldn't figure out spells, tbh

They're smart fuckin birds, I believe in them

Either through observing or just figuring shit out ravens could 100% learn how to cast spells I'm sure of it

the-punforgiven

Dogs can also cast Magic Missile but every time they do the projectile is shaped like a bone or a stick and they chase after it

#so THAT’S why the animals are like that in WHA #I always figured it to be like Darwin’s theory #some animals use magic to better adapt while others didn’t #that why there’s still mundane animals #like in Dungeon Meshi!

I always reblog this one when I see it on my dash. When someone posts their own art, writing, or music here they are really hoping you will share it.

I love the symbolism of the jewel becoming part of the new cross after the events of Wake up dead man. I am literally chewing dry wall over how perfect this ending is for Jud Duplenticy, specifically.

Throughout the movie Jud keeps repeating that religion should not centralise the ego, hatred and violence. It should centralise community, love and acceptance in line with the teachings of Jesus. And then Jud takes this jewel that has caused so much pointless violence within the community. That has caused so much pointless violence against him. And what does he do? He gives it to Jesus.

He doesn’t keep it for himself, he doesn’t throw it away or give it to the church. No, he gives it to Jesus. Jesus who internalised all sin to give the world a clean slate after his death. Jesus who forgave humanity.

Jud forgives and lets go of the grief the community and church brought him. He acknowledges the sins his community and his church have committed and counters the hatred and violence with love. Because that’s what Jesus believed in. That’s what he fundamentally believes in. He is not here to “fight the wicked or bring them to justice”, but “to serve them and bring them back to Christ”

By “displaying” the stone as the heart of Christ Jud also buckles down on his belief that we need to openly acknowledge our shame and not hide it away. We should not let it fester until it consumes everything good in us, but acknowledge and accept it as a part of us. Because God acknowledges and accepts it as a part of us.

It’s a poignant callback to the exchange between him and Benoit Blanc where the detective accuses him of only joining the church, because it gave him a place to hide from his mistakes and to get a clear way to absolution. And Jud, who has openly talked about the mistakes that lead to him joining the church from the very beginning of the movie, counters that he didn’t find his way to god, because he wanted to find absolution.

He says he made these mistakes with open eyes, but that his faith helped him acknowledge those mistakes. He believes that his mistakes don’t condemn him for eternity in the eyes of God. He believes that God does not hide or fix people who have made mistakes. He believes that God loves people when they are guilty.

So he takes this jewel that has been tainted by violence and hatred. That represents the sins of the community. And makes it the heart of Jesus. Symbolically the community is not only forgiven, but also told they are loved even though they are guilty. Because that is the heart of Jesus’ teachings in Jud‘s eyes.

Thematically it fits so beautifully into Jud’s character arc. Honestly one of the most satisfying endings I have seen in a while

oh I see we’re wake up dead man posting -

can I say, as an aspiring grief counselor, the moment Louise starts crying in the phone with Jud I held my breath cause I was thinking fuck this is kind of played for laughs and if anyone in the theater laughs I’m gonna Lose It but no one in my theater did and the scene is played straight and it was one of the most beautiful moments I’ve, personally, felt in a theater recently.

Just the utter sincerity of connecting with another person in crisis, companioning them through it, taking them seriously with patience and compassion. Thank fucking God, you know? That’s who we need to remember to be with each other. It’s wonderful.

#knives out #wake up dead man #yeah #I even sat up straight #was dead silent when I saw it in theaters
