if shane is jesus in the christian mythos, who is ilya? (explanations/reasons below)

John the Evangelist

Simon Peter

Mary Magdalene

Voting ended onApr 10

John the Evangelis:

widely regarded as the one the bible was referring to with the words "the disciple Jesus loved".

before Jesus died, he told his mother Mary that John would be her son and told John that Mary would be his mother

King James said "Jesus had John and I have George (gay lover)"

Peter:

Jesus gave him the name "Peter", which means "rock" and many scholars believe Jesus meant it as "precious stone" or "jewel"

the only one who got out of the boat to walk to Jesus on the water. his faith in jesus allowed him to walk on water like jesus, but he got scared and started sinking and jesus saved him

during the last supper, when Jesus tried to wash his feet, Peter tried to stop him because he didn't think he was worthy

cut off the ear of one of the dudes who came to arrest Jesus

after Jesus death and resurrection, peter founded the very first Christian church

Mary Magdalene:

another possibility for "the disciple Jesus loved"

some biblical scholars think Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married

the first person Jesus appeared to after he rose from the dead, while she was still mourning his death

Blasphemy? On my Good Friday? It's more likely than you think.

Also, I feel that you are fundamentally misunderstanding the position of Jesus and his disciples vs. Shane and Ilya. The whole point of Shane and Ilya is that they are equals. They are both as good at hockey as each other, just in very different ways. Jesus was the disciples' teacher and savior, the son of God and God made flesh.

So no, Ilya is none of your choices. Ilya is a heathen god.

Ilya is Thor.

As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.

In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

shane slips out onto the balcony and, in a move so insane he’ll have to blame it on his extreme exhaustion later, takes a seat on the floor beside rozanov’s chair, leaning his head on his thigh.

people rag on ilya for sticking his tongue in shane's mouth during the sweet kiss in the tampa hotel room in 1x05 bc like, he's crying and upset and this is meant to be a comforting kiss more than anything

but like.... you gotta remember that this man has not kissed shane since tuna meltdown which was like MONTHS and MONTHS ago. he thought they were over! he thought shane had moved on, got a girlfriend, didn't need him anymore!! he thought he'd ruined everything between them and been brutally rejected!!

that was their REUNION kiss. a BREAKTHROUGH kiss, after they both just talked about some really emotional stuff and opened up to one another. after shane apologised and expressed that he does actually like ilya back.

so like.... go for it babe. stick your whole fucking tongue down your not-boyfriend's throat, you deserve it!!!!!!

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion

Asking AI for information is like asking your drunk uncle for information. Usually wrong, definitely untrustworthy, and a little bit racist.

[duckbunny]

when we say "Google used to work" we mean "Google used to be a tool that would direct you to reliable websites, such as government information sites, at the top of its results". Google no longer does that, because Google makes money now, and the way it makes money is to show you ads, and you don't increase the stats for the search tool and look at more ads if you leave Google and go to reference sites or government portals or encyclopedias or research papers. Google would rather you stayed on Google, so it gives you AI and ads and makes it hard to find anything trustworthy.

So, now you have to be your own old-Google. You have to think: Who knows this information? and: Where will they publish it?

I mean this as a directive. You have to learn to do this. You have to think: Do I need a visa for this country? Where will that information be made available by an official source? and take yourself to the government website. You have to think: Is my dentist open on a Saturday? and find your dentist's website, and call them up if they haven't put their hours online. You have to think: How long was Teresa May prime minister? and go to Wikipedia or the parliamentary website and work it out from there.

Consulting reliable sources is a necessary skill, and I'm sorry if you're only learning it now, I know that's a burden, but you can't get the real answers any other way.

"I know chatgpt is bad but you just don't really have any choice" you literally do. Don't use it. Have some moral backbone.

[birdsareblooming]

it's been like 2 years. i havent touched it. never needed to. "you don't really have a choice," are you so swift to forget the recent past? Bitch i still use itunes to download mp3s to so i have them forever and any song i want, then my sister burns them to CDs. When boycotts rolled out my other sister got no thanks to scan what products we shouldn't buy. i still use corded headphones not because "its older" but because it's easier. a fool criticizes those who buy candles 200 years after the invention of the electric light until the power goes out. become ungovernable. you are not immune to propaganda. you've never had Chatgpt forced upon you, the only thing forced upon you is the idea that Chatgpt is forced upon you. why claim you need something today that you didn't need yesterday. little bitch.

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”
