“You are my only friend. I am undone without you.” Lighting me on fire would be kinder than this

I relate to Harrowhark Nonagesimus in the sense that I can tell that i was born with something rotten and grotesque inside of me and I fear that if someone gets too close they're gonna find out

I haven’t seen a lot of people talk about this, but I have thoughts about Immaculate conception and how that related to The Locked Tomb

So in catholic tradition, the immaculate conception is very different from the miraculous conception. The immaculate conception is the Virgin Mary’s conception as a being free from sin, verses Jesus’s miraculous conception as a virgin birth.

Now clearly, Gideon is our Jesus analogue, and her conception was a miracle. She was conceived to be a bomb and wasn’t meant to survive past infancy. She was meant to be conceived through Mercy’s eggs fertilized through Jod’s DNA, but all of that failed. Gideon wasn’t supposed to happen.

Now I’m my opinion, we see the immaculate conception in two different places. We see it in Wake, our Virgin Mary analogue, who is not House and thus was born without necromancy, ie “free from sin.” But I also believed we see it in Harrow, as a corruption of the immaculate conception. Rather than being born free from sin, she is a war crime. She is an incredibly powerful necromancer and is practically sin incarnate in her conception, as she was made though the death of 200 innocent children. As such, one could make an argument that she is a reverse mother in an inverted Holy Trinity, with Jod as God and Alecto as the Holy Spirit.

Personally, I still see Harrow more as an analogue for Mary Magdalena. However, we can’t just ignore her immaculate conception either. She has a bit of both Mary’s in her.

I love the new superman movie as much as the next person, but it kind of bothers me that people have started calling the new cinematic universe the DCU, since DCU already means something to DC fans, as it stands for DC Universe. I know yall want it to be a DC version of MCU, but if you want an acronym for DC Cinematic Universe or something like that, it would become DCCU, not DCU. I've just been calling it the Gunnverse at this point bc I refuse to call it the DCU after years of using DCU to refer to something else

Even though these are very different stories told by very different people, Superman (2025) reminds me of the Superman of my childhood, of the DCAU. In a world of horrible grim-dark Superman adaptations, I went to the Superman of Superman the Animated Series and JL and JLU for comfort and a sense of hope. The Superman of Superman (2025) has so much compassion. He believes that no life is too small. Like Lois Lane said, he thinks that every living thing is beautiful. The Superman of the DCAU was much the same way. In the episode “For the Man Who Has Everything,” based off of Alan Moore’s comic of the same name, Superman is trapped in a dream world via a plant called the Black Mercy, while Batman and Wonder Woman are battling Mongul around him. In this dream world, Superman is living on a non-destroyed Krypton and has a wife (who looks suspiciously like Lois) and a son. And he is happy. Throughout the episode, Superman slowly realizes his world isn’t real and he the real world needs him. As he realizes this, Krypton starts crumbling around him. And Superman could’ve closed his eyes and tell himself that it wasn’t real, it would’ve hurt less. Instead he holds his son in his arms and shows him so much compassion in those final moments. He treated everyone in the dream world like they were real people deserving of love and empathy every step of the way and grieved the loss of his family, of his son, even though they weren’t real. That was my Superman as a child. And the Superman of the new movie had this same level of love for everyone

Sorry for the rambling, I just love this movie so much

I got my favorite person to ever exist into both The Locked Tomb and Superman (2025), and I consider that to be an amazing accomplishment :]
