The Doubting Thomas, by Carl Heinrich Bloch.
Happy Side Wound Sunday to all who celebrate!
Simon: “I hate birthdays... What do I even say? Congrats on your survival? Good job on not dying?”
Thomas: “Happy birthday?”
Simon: “Oh yeah, that works.”
Thomas: “Anyone remember the "selling their child on eBay" story?”
Thaddeus: “Who sells their kid on eBay? That’s crazy.”
Thaddeus: “That's a child. A living being that you made.”
James L: “Right?”
James L: “That shit goes on Etsy.”
A scene from my fanfic basically:
Judas: “Just a couple of Judes being guys.”
Thomas: “Just a couple of guys being Jude.”
Judas: “Just a couple of Judes being gay-”
Thomas: “Show me your dick, Iscari-
*camera cuts off*
Judas and the Judai in all their glory.
Left is Thomas, middle is Judas, right is Thaddeus. Judas is by no means the tallest of the group, that’s just posing.
This art is based on,,, well, an idea I had regarding album covers. Let’s just say that the pose and wardrobe were Simon’s idea.
The second one is a black and white version that I feel might read better in case some can’t discern between the dark shades of red.

“And that is why I’ve called you here today.”
Simon wants the Judai to form a band.
(You can thank the JCS Discord for this one.)
So, doing research into Thomas Didymus
He’s gotta be one of my favourite apostles, but then again, I love them all once I characterize them.
But so, being named Judas and being from Galilee like Jesus, people think that either he or Thaddeus is Jesus’ brother Jude. People say he’s literally named Twin Twin for being Jesus’ twin, which is,,, highly unlikely unless God decided to screw over Thomas and have his birth invalidated by his twin’s importance.
I think that trying to draw a connection between Jesus’ brothers and any of the apostles is just a similar situation to the compounding of Marys that they did. So, I just choose not to do so.
It’d also be fucked up to condemn a man for not believing his dead brother to be resurrected until he saw him. Extra fucked up to force him to repent and worship is own twin brother as the lord.
So, I posed this to the JCS discord: what if the apostles called Thomas Jesus' twin because one day they wore the same outfit, and because of time and misunderstandings, preachers didn't realize it was just a goof between friends and took it literally. Or Thomas just really looked like Jesus.
Because bearded men who walk around barefoot talking about God all look the same. That's why Judas needed to do the identification kiss, Thomas looks exactly like Jesus, but there's no relation.
AND THEN MY BRAIN DECIDED TO HURT ME: What if Judas kissed Thomas by mistake? What if he kissed Thomas on purpose?
