shiv roy should be CEO of bizzaro liberal ATN (PGM). roman roy should be making shitty david lynch rip off films. connor roy should be a historical reenactor who insists on playing the most highly ranking soldier in every given scene. kendall roy should be a 10th generation family farmer whose greatest torture in life is that he can’t get himself to use his father’s beloved tractor because he’s addicted to manual labor.

"You mean to tell this King that humans don't hit the object of their affection?" Mobei Jun raised his eyebrow as he regarded the tired face of their newly crowned Emperor.

Luo Binghe closed his eyes and dragged a hand down his face in what has become a common occurrence during these... classes he called "Demon to Human: Cultural and Biological differences 101". Mobei Jun hadn't thought there was even a difference for such a thing after decades of knowing his little cultivator, but it seems like there just might be a point to them.

"No way! Jiejie always fights back whenever I challenge her! If that's not flirting, then what have we been doing for the past three months then, hmmm? Exactly, f l i r t i n g," Sha Hualing proudly declared.

Indeed, Sha Hualing's suit of the veiled cultivator has been going quite well by demonic standards, much to his contrition whenever her hours-long bragging sessions start.

Junshang groaned in exasperation and gave her a disappointed look from where he was once again resting his face in his arms. "You're attacking her sect! She's defending herself and the sect at the same time! That's not flirting, that's an attempt at your life!"

Jungshang really was quite expressive. The excessive portrayal of emotions reminded him of his intended which was quite a distressing observation to make about one's superior.

"Murder attempts are a flirting technique! And a very respectful one I'll have you know! Back me up on this Mobei!" Hearing his name be mentioned again, he turned his head towards Sha Hualing before giving a brief nod. "Mn."

"No it is not! That is like saying my Shizun has been flirting with me during most of my stay at Cang Qiong. Or that him pushing me into the Abyss was a courting step!"

Sha Hualing and Mobei Jun shared a look before slowly turning back towards Luo Binghe. "...wasn't it? I mean no disrespect my Lord, but everything you have described earlier does indeed seem like normal courting steps. Especially the whipping. Aaah, of only A-Yan would use a whip with me..."

Ignoring Luo Binghe's spluttering and Sha Hualing's dreamy sighs, Mobei Jun turned his thoughts back towards Shang Qinghua.

How would it be, if Shang Qinghua decided to use a whip on him he wonders? Of course, such a step would have to be preceded by a good right hook or a nice traditional murder attempt. Though, if needed, he could always count his servant's mutterings about "bashing his head in when I had a chance!" as one. It used to bring him nothing but suspicion of his spy's true motives but it would paint quite a different picture in this context.

His Qinghua wasn't the type to use a heavy rock or a whip though. Now, poison on the other hand... Yes, he could easily imagine him slipping a paralysing agent or sleeping drought into his drink. Maybe some Weeping Rosemary petals or an aged Northern Misty Crystal Root?

A vision of big pleading eyes looking down on him as his servant frets around him until he's sure of the poison working presents itself before his eyes. Maybe even a slow victorious smirk he wore while planning on bankrupting the neighbouring Sugar Crystal clan (who were, ironically enough, made completely out of salt rock) after finding evidence of them planning on double-crossing the Northern Kingdom during the latest trade agreement attempt.

Luo Binghe, seeing both of his generals sighing dreamily, decided to unofficially call an end to today's cultural exchange lesson as it seemed neither of them would be up for talking any time today.

Ah, if only his Shizun was here, he'd know what to do!

And with that, today's lesson of "Demon to Human: Cultural and Biological differences 101" came to the same end, as it does every week. With three demons more closely resembling high school girls in love than fearsome Emperor and war generals.

new heresy that makes the bible way funnier:

god genuinely had no idea that people would be able to disobey him, when he made them. angels couldn’t! everything in the universe was just an extension or a reflection of god himself, operating in perfect mechanical order. then he put a spark of his own creative consciousness in an animal and it turned out it could disobey him.

like, that’s why he told adam and eve not to access a perfectly accessible tree. nothing else in the universe up until that point would have done something he told them not to.

that’s why he asks cain a perfectly ridiculous question, given that he would have watched the murder happen right in front of him: where is your brother? what did you do to him? he didn’t know cain could lie. even when adam and eve disobeyed him, surprising absolutely everyone involved, they hadn’t figured out lying yet. cain figured out lying.

that’s why god decides to destroy humans and start over only a few centuries later. he has no idea what to do. not only are people disobeying and lying to him, they’ve started completely ignoring him, too. he can control the wind, the water, the plants, the animals, the angels, the heavens, the earth. but he cut a part of himself loose and gave it to this totally unique new critter and now he can’t get it back. he can’t make anyone do anything, and now they know it. he had to carve humanity back down to the one family that actually, for whatever reason, still listened to him, and he had to ride them pretty fucking hard from that point onward to make sure they didn’t just..... stop. because at any point basically any human, ever, even the ones who liked him, could just randomly decide to fuck off and do their own thing.

then like, according to christians, god thought maybe he could get a handle on whatever the fuck was going on with how bad humans were being by making another human who had even more god in him than all the other humans, and that didn’t work either. and also even jesus himself didn’t know what humans were going to do next, which was kill him young. like, god had to break the news to him based on an educated guess, and it was a big surprise to him! he was really upset! there’s a whole scene!

like, i think this is hands down the funniest fucking thing to conclude about god ever. he didn’t know it was going to turn out like this when he started and he didn’t know what to do when it did. he’s been basically scrambling to stay on top of the situation for six thousand years and he’s totally beefed it repeatedly.

god the omnipotent lord of creation knows everything, except what you’re going to do next. god the supreme ruler of the universe can do anything, except stop you. you have a little piece of god inside you and it lets you defy the most fundamental machinery of existence basically whenever you like.

if that’s not funny, i don’t know what is.

For my birthday I was torn between making this as a video and making the "I'm slowly forgetting your face" one but alas, I'd had the background and shading guides for the second one for a lot longer.
