[satkru]

Caked up Male!Reader getting hit on and felt up by his classmates at Jujutsu High.

𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 : 2nd yrs and 1st yrs x m!reader (w a FATTIE)

꒰ঌ ໒꒱ : zhellas bby.. ur reqs have my SOUL on a leash 😭

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ : m! reader w a big ol booty , (kindve??) oblivious reader , free-use reader , these students got NOO SHAME 🙏🏽‼️ , booty grabbing , booty slapping , groping (basically) , nsfw jokes abt the reader, i HATE panda so dont expect him to be here

YUUJI - ✦

y'all know yuuji aint the type of guy to let a perfectly good ass untouched, hes a literal FIEN for ts. so it wasnt a total surprise whenever yuuji was around his hand would sometimes (if not always) near y/n's voluptuous ass. his hand on one cheek gripping the ever living shit out of it. he just couldnt get enough of how circular it was and how it jiggled every time y/n walked.

before training, itadori would slap y/n's ass as a "good luck charm", as if the boner in his pants would help him in combat..

MEGUMI - ✦

fushiguro is the FARTHEST thing of a pervert, but when it comes to y/n.. god he just cant handle himself

hes very shy with his actions, mostly due to the fact that if he let himself get handsy with you, he'd go absolutely FERAL.

just the slight wobble of y/n's ass is enough to boggle megumi's mind and keep him busy for the next 2 hours.

but nevertheless, megumi is still a sane and sensible person around y/n, although he can be seen stumbling over his words whenever he does get the chance to talk to him.

NOBARA - ✦

goodness me.. nobara doesnt know how to keep her hands off y/n's fat ol booty..

she thinks she can excuse herself because shes "just a girl and girls can always feel up their friends butt whenever they want to" (her exact words) of course, because of her totally convincing tone, y/n doesnt think anything of the close and personal touching nobara does.

nobara LOVES grabbing handfuls of y/n's ass and wobbling it in her hands. making sure to take in every jiggle it produced.

INUMAKI - ᰔ

y/n is EXTREMELY lucky inumaki isnt such a freak, cs if he was, he would be commanding him to make it clap every second of the day.

inumaki isnt as handy as the others are, in fact, hes the most calmest of the bunch. but he does have his moments where he just cant help himself and starts to mess around with y/n. such as commanding him to grab something off the floor even if he was the one to drop it in the first place.

seeing y/n's arched back and his ass swaying back and forth just makes inumaki go into a frenzy. wishing he could act out everything hes ever thought of doing to you.

MAKI - ᰔ

LORD.. maki has absolutely ZERO shame in her body when it comes to y/n's fat ass. shes constantly hitting on him and fitting both of her hands around y/n's juicy and perky booty.

shes constantly making sex jokes between her and y/n and even goes behind to give him some "practice backshots".

maki makes absolute SURE that y/n's ass is constantly in perfect condition, even going as far as to carry a measuring tape to keep data on y/n's ass to see if it has grown or not.

definitely safe to say that she is very.. VERY... dedicated to the research of y/n's voluptuous booty..

YUUTA - ᰔ

im tired of ppl trying to play yuuta as a "sweet summer child", this man is DOWN for a BIG, JUICY FAT ASS like y/n's.

although he does get a bit nervous when hes around y/n due to his ass being so big it can make him hard just by one small movement.

yuuta is always taking the chances to feel up on y/n's bottom. if hes lucky enough, y/n will give yuuta special permission to lay his head of his butt.

which, safe to say, has made itself a special memory inside yuuta's brain.

Hoi.... Can u do Hatred (block tales) x reader smut? Take the time you need! And I hope you have a wonderful day!!!!!!

Helloo🐍ts is my second request on here n im happy that ppl like my writing enough to request me things KEK - tfw you fuck ur own emotion🤤🤤🤤

HATRED X READER(GENDER NEUTRAL)

"GIVE IN." -

Touching the GHOSTWALKER,you were forced to cleanse your soul;defeating your negative emotions,of which you BARELY made it through by the skin of your teeth. But now..here you were - on your knees,clutching your side as dark blood oozed out of the gaps of your fingers,painting them a dark crimson red. The room was dark,red patterns everywhere.It felt like a goddamn fever dream.Your sword was dropped at your side,unable to pick it up as you heaved,your gaze weak as you eyed down the large manifestation of your HATRED.

"How..Delightful."

It said all too smoothly,as if you weren't on your last few threads infront of it.

"Abhorred filth before me,writing in pitiful agony with the ichor they bear inside,slowly draining from their core."

It took steps closer to your hunched over form,eerily looming over your weak form and taking the sight in.Your desperate eyes examining the manifestation.

it stood closer,forcing you onto the ground more with a grunt escaping your mouth,a pained one.Your face twisted in a sick display of pain and aggression.The sword was basically right beside your head,why couldn't you pick it up and get it over with?

"So..impure,gross..But I can make you beautiful."

It reached down to grab your chin,pointing your head up to face it again.Your eyes drifted down to between its slim legs,a dark red,maroon appendage that bared a resemblance to a tentacle was pulsating,a slick fluid building at the top.

"I can make you so..so..beautiful..I can cure you of your deformities and negatives."

It cooed falsely,its grip tightening on your chin with the claws digging into your bruised skin.You felt colder,almost as if you didn't have any clothes on all of a sudden.When you looked down;your suspicions were correct.It had made your clothes vanish from your body,each and every piece of fabric.You felt a hot tail wrap around your leg,a sharp pinch like a needle digging into your torso.While you were looking at yourself,it made its way behind you,hovering over you.

"Give in..There's no hope."

It hissed,leaning closer to your face.Before you could quip back with a reply of some sort,it thrusted into you,its hips vernally burying its appendage deep inside of you.

"Ripe..let the HATRED fill your very being.."

It lowly growled.It was being sylphlike in its movements.The tail wrapped around your leg got tighter every time it pistoned in and out of your tightness that was soon to be full with its warm liquid. Your face was contorted in pleasure,watching your manifestation please you..albeit in an unorthodox way.Its thrusts got faster and janky,snapping its slender waist into you.

"I will make you..feel my HATRED internally.."

It snarled in a rough rasp.You let out a soft moan once it picked up the pace.Just then,an eardrum piercing screech came from it,the tail around your leg squeezing as tight as it could as it pained your insides with a considerable amount of viscid vermeil tinted liquid.

"The turmoil in your soul is..delectable."

[bluiex]

HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO HELLO- IS THAT TO MANY HELLOS??? ANYWAY IM FULL OF ENGERY AND IDEAS. Mainly Scott and Grian cause their my favourites.

Punk rock Mumbo and Grian(in collega) both have a crush on the same soft, artsy guy(Scar) that’s thinks their too cool and so out of his league

Scott‘s a random dude living by the ocean cuase it’s pretty with his siblings, Pearl and Lauren, meets a two mermaids?? Sirens??? Martyn and Ren and turns out his neighbor Jimmy, Grian and Joel are faes, his other neighbor Scar is an elf and his boyfriend? Best friend? No one know✅ Cub is a vex. His close friend that helped him when he first moved there? Pic is an shapeshifter. Milo, his friend he met not long after Pix, a witch, Sausage a vampire. Basically everyone he knows in his neighbourhood are magical creature and most of them had a crush on him at some point.(Every Scott ship just exist)

SHARK GRIAN. No thoughts. Just shark Grian meets a human(idk who yet), tries to bite their hand, learns their friendly, becomes friends(maybe something more later on?)

FAIRY GRIAN AND SCOTT(like fairy god mother kinda thing) and they’re so real. And hot. Unbelievably hot. Like we all know Scott flirts with every man in a 10 miles radius but Grian was really flirty bad in YHS/TS/KOV so Imagine. Two hot fairies, you flirt with them and BOTH of them flirt back. Then steal your soul- BUT THEY FLIRTED BACK!

Scott, an angel of the heavens, sent to watch over a very poor unfortunate soul of Jimmy Solidarity. As he watches over him, helping him, Scott sees himself falling for the cute and lovable man. So, with permission from the heavens he descends and makes a life for himself(complete with a job, a backstory and everything he’d need) and he gets the guy!!! Tho he does have to ‘go out of country for work sometimes’(aka go back to the heavens) I imagine Pearl or Lauren or Shubble teasing him every time he comes to do his job.

I don’t think I’m mentally stable anymore.

-🌺🪸🥀

NEVER ENOUGH HELLOS! HELLO!!

dude DUDE. I see Shark Grian and i just *gnaws the bars of my cage* he is such a shark if he were a different type of mer oh my godddd

mr flowers on tthe beach, you got me HOOKED ON ALL YOUR IDEAS BRO

new year same problem!!

maaaaan yk what rlly sucks??? trying to come to terms w/ ur sexuality!!!! like some days i think like “yeah ik what i like” and when im around people who are like me i feel even BETTER abt coming to terms w/ it, but when im around ppl who are borderline home of phobic, i feel like i just have to be straight and it’s so confusing! like god i just wanna date a pretty girl and i wanna kiss her a lot but then like, i don’t want ppl to hate me and lowk i been in the closet my whole life. 😭😭 at first (like i said like, last year) i compromised with myself and labeled myself as bisexual but ive had like, two boyfriends in the past and like sure, it felt good to have someone love me and tell me that i was beautiful but with my first boyfriend, i hadn’t ever been in a relationship before that and i found out that he was dating me bc he liked my body and that shit was SOUL CRUSHING!!!!! and with my last boyfriend, he just wasn’t that appealing to me yk? but like i always find myself feeling smitten over girls i don’t even know and they make me feel things and i just like, lose it!!! like ughhhhh!!!! but yeah, had to come in here rq. still trying to figure ts out so i think ill js consider myself as queer for now!!! 😜☝️

[15ktherapy]

I’m uploading an almost three minute clip on another blog of mine so that’s gonna take a while and whilest I wiat for that I’m going to spread the pain of doubleleef eefubs worst of all time see okay see okay so in double leef you are randomly assigned a partner to share a health bar with but ur not told WHO ur partner is so you have to go off and find them and figure out who they are via punching. which one leads to hilarity just based off because people who find their partners later already have armor and stuff so there’s a point gri finds scar and it like dear god please tell me we’re not soulmates and he hits him once AND OH LOOK TS NIT ^-^ and then scar (number one threat to his own life) takes damage and gris like WAIT. and then Joel smacks the shit out of scar and would you look at taht!! g’s screaming NOOOOOOO and here comes desduo round two ^-^

okay I got sidetracked but look it was funny. so. people get partners to be soul bound too some ppl find their partners earlier than others and here’s where ebubs comes in right? so bbubs finds his partner first! they’re already together. eeth finds bbubs and the fucking SECOND that it’s like “oh ye I already got my partner” eef is going for their fucking NECKS. like “oh is this a happy marriage or is this I settled with the best I could?” NO FUCKING JOKE TGAT IS LIRERALLY WHAT HE FUCKING SAYS. and then everyone rightfully is like EETHO WHAT THE HELL you crazy bastard. coughs anyway later on we have bbubs trying to grab eef anyway because he’s insane and then we also have worst clip of all time literally some hunter huntress shit gets pulled and eefo essentially calls bbubs a bottom and it’s like jesus fucking christ what was he on that season CAN YOU CHILL FOR FIVE MINUTES YOU FREAK. worst of my life.

🎉🧁Super rando 🎉🧁Astro Observations 🎉🧁

🍥I do not recommend dating someone who has ur chiron sign- in one way or another they will hurt you unconsciously and trigger you 😔😔😭😓🫣of course this is good in a way because all trauma is meant to be healed ❤️‍🩹🩺🩻but you have to be with someone who is conscious of the hurt they are causing. The chiron person is only really meant to surface these hurts not heal them. Think about it: ur chiron sign is literally embodying the wound that u have so to date that sign is like dating a walking red flag 🚩

🍥People with prominent Jupiter aspects to their ascendant, sun, midheaven will naturally just emit light ! ✨🌞🌻 u shine ! U so sparkle ! Jupiter expands anything it touches, so imagine having sun 🌞 aspecting Jupiter: big energy, big beam of light !!! They also have the loudest, biggest laughs lmao- this is me and everyone always tells me they love how much I laugh at everything/have the biggest guffaw- sound like a dang donkey🐴 sometimes srry not srry 🥲🥲🥲

🍥Someone with a lot of mutable placements absolutely needs fixed energy to ground and stabilize them 😇🥺when it comes to synastry. Especially when it comes to moon sign compatibility. Mutable moons are legit the most moody 🌝😩🌚Cardinal can work too but sometimes feelings will burn out quickly 🐒🔥🌪️💦

🍥However with that said: have y’all ever dated ur opposite moon sign ??? Because that sh*ts fire 🔥

🍥Be careful who you meet romantically during mars or Venus retrograde ⏪⏮️these are past lovers that come back to try sumthin, sumthin out again. Like I went on a dating app 🤪during mars ☄️retrograde and had a super casual fling that burned out super quickly💥💥💥but not with some big lessons. The seggs will be ahmazing because youve fucked around before lol 🍌✨ are the lessons worth it tho, who knos 🥲

🍥Libra and Taurus placements will always be attractive ! trust ! Venus blesses them in some way or another 🌸💅🧖‍♀️ pretty privilege y’all ✨Scorpio and Aries placements will always be sessy, trust ! mars gives them sexy privilege 🍌🍆🌶️ if u got both in ur big three, boy r u trouble 😈

🍥I read somewhere that when you’re embodying your true soul essence you take on ur vedic/sidereal placements: literally have been feelin my triple fire 🔥 placement in vedic ! 😬🌶️🔥

🍥Neptune+mercury placements ….you literally manifest when you speak so be careful what u wish for 🫶 it’s because Neptune: higher spiritual plane, angels 👼, ancestors and then mercury: communication: u are literally speaking to angels mmkay 🥲✨🫶

🍥If you lack fire 🔥 in ur chart, u tend to run V cold 🥶 like ur probs the friend who has cold hands and feet constantly ! Me 🙋‍♀️

🍥Too much mercury in ur chart or air placements can make u constantly in ur head: like u can’t detach ur mind from ur body and soul. It’s gonna be hard 4 u to meditate 🧘‍♀️ tbh. I recommend breath work 4 y’all, so u can get more in tune with ur body/or working out, running, moving ur body 🕺💃🏃‍♀️🏋️‍♀️🤹‍♀️

🍥biggest flirt placements of the zodiac goes to Aries, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius- if u have all four shidddd…I hope ur significant other is ok 🥲 honorable mention: Pisces (but it’s cus we fall in love like 5 times a day…doesn’t mean we actually know how to flirt tho..we’re just sweet lovers by nature) Aries, Gemini, libra and Sag are the ultimate smooth talkers of the zodiac 🥵

🍥biggest non flirts of the zodiac goes to Capricorn, Virgo, Scorpio, Taurus. Ur flirting style is basically being mean, uninterested or cold. Earth+ Scorpio is very self contained, they like to keep it together and flirting feels stupid and petty. When in a mood, they don’t want to talk to anyone unless there’s a reason for it..like what do u want ? Tell me what u want, set a date and make a plan. Also lez be real: their main love is cash money 🤑

That’s all y’all 🍭🎨🤹‍♀️🤹‍♀️🤹‍♀️🤹‍♀️💅💅💅💅💅☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️☎️🧋🧋🧋🧋🧋🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

Hope y’all have a magical day 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Thanks for reading+scoping !! 🥰

[girlindelusionn]

first of all, i literally love ur acc. b99? ts? barney and robin? robin pt 2 but hot lesbian stranger things version w insanely cute x reader fics? YES PLS. secondly, i saw that u were taking reqs for robin (buckley) fics and i think a song fic / fic inspired by the song “lover” would make me pee my pants but really. i want it so bad. i would be 1000% honored if u decide to take this req <3

alright so i fucking loved this. first, you were SO sweet, i'm crying, i love you so much. second, taylor swift is probably 91% of my personality so it works perfectly. thank you @leadmetodgarden for such an amazing request!!!

(i hope you meant lover by taylor cause if not this is awkard...)

the thing is, i got a little too exited...

i've written, as of right now, more than 10k, which is way longer than i've ever written, (imma one shot type of gal) and i still have one chapter to go

also before i post this i wanna clarify two things:

english is absolutely not my first language, this was written with the help of google docs and google translator, every mistake is immediately and utterly their fault

i'm not that sure of how christmas actually works there in the united states. i dont think you guys have Christmas Eve dinners that last until midnight, cause you open your gifts the next day (lame!), but for the sake of the fic, let's pretend you do

quick summary:

five christmasses with robin <3 (alternative tittle: almost plotless fluff)

finally, here it is:

i want them all, robin x you (part 1!)

“And there's a dazzling haze, a mysterious way about you dear.

Have I known you 20 seconds or 20 years?”

part 2 here

Christmas sucked. It always did. Too much sugar and alcohol close to families who were a little bit too close to collapse entirely. But this year, on the contrary, it was just too quiet. You and your family were completely new in town, having moved just a couple days ago. Maybe it was the absence of controversial family members, furniture or feeling of home and belonging, but not even your parents were in the mood this year. 

You had dinner at eight, watched half of the worst christmas movie on the tiniest, shittiest tv and they were both already in bed, fast asleep. 

There were still two hours till midnight and you were not going to spend them on your mattress on the floor. It was just too depressing. So you grabbed your bike, a book, a blanket and your walkman and biked until you found a Seven Eleven. 

There isn't a single soul out, but you can feel the festive vibe on the hair. All the houses are carefully decorated and music is going through every single door. It seems like you are the only one who isn't celebrating. 

Well, you, the cashier and the girl outside, who are having a heated argument through the glass door.

"Oh, cmon, Kyle! It's Christmas!" she yells. The dude is on the door, physically stopping the girl from coming in.

"Exactly! My shift ended seven minutes ago! No. More. Customers."

Seeing that you are already on the register waiting for him to charge you, Kyle closes the glass door on her face. She responds with her middle finger, but you didn't think he notices. You hand him your things and he begins to scan them. 

"That'll be all?" he asks. You look to the side. The girl is still there, even with this cold.

"No, actually. Wait a second, please." You hear him complain when he sees what you’re going to do, but you don't care.

You approach the door and get the girl's attention. 

"What do you want?" you ask. The girl, who’s sitting on the floor, right next to the door, looks up with confused eyes. 

"No! Don't worry, he's just being a dick."

"No, c'mon. What do you want??"

"Are you sure it's okay?" 

You nodd repeatedly, as you hear Kyle yell "Hurry up!" from behind. 

"Just a coke and some chocolate?"

"Great!"

You get her stuff and pay for everything. You even give Kyle a five dollar tip, but he keeps the same pissed off expression. You get your bag and hurry out of there, wishing him a Merry Christmas on your way out. 

Out you meet the girl. She’s taller than you, maybe for a couple of inches and has a blue dress that’s now stained with mud and blood? but she doesn't seem to be aware of it. She’s also shivering from the cold, her jacket not being able to put up a fight against the cold of December.  

"Thank you!" she says as soon as you are out the door. "You didn't have to…"

"Well, it’s Christmas after all" you give her the stuff. She gives you five bucks and you don't have the heart to tell her it was more. She looks like she isn't having the best day ever.

"Yeah…" she looks down at the bag with a sigh.

"I hope that chocolate is okay?"

She looks up again, with a smile this time. She has a nice smile. "It's perfect. I'm Robin, by the way."

"I'm Y/N."

"Nice to meet you.” her rebel hairs dance around with the wind and she’s still shivering, but instead of going away she asks “I’ve never seen you around… Are you visiting for the holidays?”

“No.” you shake your head “I actually moved here a couple days ago.”

“Oh…” there’s a weird undertone there, but you can't quite place it “Welcome, then.”

You accept the gesture, giving her a smile. It almost seems like she hates this place as much as you do, which is weird and kinda scary, but also makes you feel a little less alone.

“I, um… I should get back?" You see her hesitate in the last part of the sentence. It’s pretty obvious she does not want to go back to wherever she came from.

You try to find an alternative, a way to make her stay even a second longer, but you couldn't figure out a single reasonable explanation for why you, two complete strangers, should spend the night together. So you agree with her. "Yeah me too." 

"I don't really want to…" she confesses. You’re glad she did. 

"Me too"

"Crappy Christmas at your house too? " she asks, you chuckle and she smiles harder. 

"Yeah"

"I…" she doubts for a second, but your eyes meet hers with kindness and reassurance so she keeps going "I know it's kinda weird for me to suggest this, but I could, maybe, show you around?… I feel like I should pay you back in some way."

She looks embarrassed and absurdly cute, so there's no other chance but to say yes.

"Yeah, I picked up the serial killer vibe, but honestly it has been one of those days. So let's go."

You bike in silence, occasionally making a turn, with the wind hitting your faces like buckets of freezing water. And just as you're about to ask how long is this gonna take you find the building.

It is old, huge and it looks like nobody had painted it for at least sixty years. The fence was closed, obviously, but she didn't mind. You watched amused and impressed how easily she climbed up the fence and trespassed school property.

And if you weren't already sure you liked her this was probably a very clear indicator. 

She guides you through what is going to be your high school the rest of the school year. You had to admit, it was way better inside than outside and had a pretty sweet auditorium. Still, it was smaller than the last one.

“And… here's my favorite place.” she says as she points at the old library door. You wait for her to open it, like she did with all the rooms before it. She notices. “Oh, they actually close this one during the nights. Someone, definitely not me, may have stolen a few, definitely not more than ten, books and manuals.”

You laugh. She was more of a nerd than you had thought. Interesting. She watches through the window on the door with sadness in her features, so pass your hand through your hair till you find the perfect tool. A hair pin. It's a little old and it might break, but it was your only option. 

“More than ten?” you ask as you kneel in front of the lock.

“No way! Does that actually work? I always thought it was movie bullshit…” you hum yes, focused on your task. “It was thirteen books, by the way”

“Thirteen?” you laugh. 

“I know! But I swear I was going to give them back…” you look at her with an eyebrow up and her innocent face falls apart “Eventually.” 

“Aha…” you tease and she wants to protest but you finally get the door to open “There it is!” she squeals with excitement and that's the cutest sound you’ve heard in a while. “Just no more playing book thief” 

She laughs and comes into the room, you follow right behind. You settle your things at the biggest table, Robin does the same, and even though there were still twenty minutes till midnight the two of you kinda set up a fake Christmas table.  

When everything is in order you take the liberty to explore around for a while. They have good stuff, nothing too special. It needs an update, of course, as many things do these days. But, overall, you aren't so mad about the collection. Until, of course, you see the reading list for sophomore year.

“Robin!” you call out to her. She sticks her head out the language alley and looks over, curious. “Have you seen this shit?”

“Wha– oh, you’ve found the reading list. I know.”

“Not a single woman?” she nods in agreement, “What year are we? Fucking 1935?”

“Totally. And! The whole deal this year is, like, horror and science fiction. How do you teach horror and science fiction without Frankenstein?”

You agree with her, still offended. “It 's ridiculous.” You complain as you both go back to the table. You try sitting down, but it feels… odd. “This is weird, right?” She nods, so you settle for a space of floor between bookshelves. “Better”

“Much better.” 

You talk and you share your food and complain a bit more about the educational system. After a while her eyes focus on one of the books behind you. You turn to look too. You’re in the poetry section and the book she’s staring at was a compilation, written by someone called Emily Dickinson. You haven’t heard about her, poetry wasn’t really your deal. But you did enjoy it.

Robin leaves her spot on the floor to grab it, and you’re confused when instead of keeping it for herself she tries to hand it to you.

“What are you doing?” You ask.

“Well, it’s Christmas after all. And you’ve already given me all of these…” She points at the food spread on the floor “So this is your gift.”

You smile “I haven’t even started at this school and I already have stolen something…” You reflect. Robin starts to second guess her decision.

“If you don’t like it it’s totally fine, I–“

“No, I love it. Thank you so much, Robin.”

You fall into a comfortable silence that doesn't last much longer. 

"Can I ask you a question?" she says. 

"Yeah."

"If you could run away…" she starts, and you see how her eyes light up with possibilities from just thinking of making it out of here "No money needed, no strings attached. Where would you go?"

You think for a while. "Italy" She seems to like the answer.

"Can I ask why?"

"My grandma lived in Italy most of her life. I want to see every place she talked about. And you?"

"Everywhere except Hawkins" she sentences. You smile sadly, how terrible her life had to be for her to want to escape so badly from her hometown. "But Europe is the dream, for sure."

You don't want to be disrespectful, but the mystery was eating you up. What is she doing here? What, or who, is she running from?

“Can I ask what are you doing in the school library at eleven forthy two on christmas eve? Or is it too soon?”” you don't want to make her feel uncomfortable, so you ask carefully. 

She lowers her gaze. Fuck, you blew it. 

“Im sorry” you whisper. She shakes her head and looks up with an expression you can't quite read.

“No, it's fine.” she sighs, grabbing another chocolate before starting to talk “Extended family came over. Aunts and uncles and little cousins type of Christmas.”

“Uh, rough.”

“Yes” she chuckles. “And my parents are usually cool, but family approval has always been their achilles heel. So you know, clean house, no swearing and this stupid dress.”

“Honestly, the dress isn't that bad” 

“Cmon…”

“I'm serious!” you say but it's obvious she doesn't believe you. “It’s like… you know when you eat those little candy balls? And how sometimes the colors get mixed up and you eat a red one but it tastes like a blue one. It looks like that. It's not bad, it's just not… sincere? I guess”

As soon as you finish your deep analysis you notice she was staring. Head slightly tilt to the side, confused expression, like she’s trying to figure out how the hell did you come to that conclusion. 

“That's exactly how I feel. Constantly.”

“That makes two of us.” You cheer for your problems with the two cokes you’d bought, which, thanks to the weather of December, were still pretty cold. “So, apart from sexism and really bad taste in books, is there anything more about Hawkins that you need to warn me about?”

Her eyes light up and you don't know if it is from the implicit question of a future together, but you hope so. There’s something special about this girl.

“Oh, there's so many people I need to warn you about! So many assholes” you can't hold the laughter that escapes your lips. She said it with such an innocent smile.

“That's great! So excited to start, then” Your sarcasm makes her laugh too. 

“At least we can shit talk together?”

“Robin Buckley, you're officially the first, and only, person I like in this entire town.”

“Honestly? You too.” You cheer again, just as the clock showes midnight. “Merry Christmas, Y/N.”

“Merry Christmas!”

⋆Kei seems and maybe is a little bit introverted, but he actually really cares about his closest friends, Itsuki and Rokuta, so I'm sure he'd be even more caring about his dear s/o.

⋆He would immediately notice if there's something wrong and try softly to ask his s/o.

⋆"Babe.. Are you alright? When you close the door behind your back I've felt a little bit of frustration... Do you want to talk about it?"

⋆If his s/o is too shy or maybe doesn't want to bother Kei and prefer to keep everything to themselves, then Kei won't force them to explain and decide to give them some seconds to think.

⋆If they don't want to talk about it, it's their own decision. They will be the one to decide when to explain what's going on to him.

⋆Maybe they will never, but Kei would try to make them realize that they are not alone by staying beside them.

⋆Otherwise if s/o tells Kei everything about their feelings and the fact that they feel a little bit left out from their group friends, then Kei will stay there, sitting beside them, holding their hands and listening closely to each words they are saying.

⋆He probably really knows how important is to have someone to speak to in bad situations or, simply, when a person is overthinking and end up building up unpleasant thoughts.

⋆But he also loves them a lot, so he'd try hard to keep them as closer as he can.

⋆Kei would definitely lie down beside his adorable s/o and listen to some tracks with them.

⋆Maybe he would also share one of his cute airpods with a soft smile.

⋆"Listen to this, babe.. It sounds good, don't you think?"

⋆Perhaps he'd try to make them feel better by hanging out with them!

⋆They can go to relaxing places, like the beach or the park at sunset! Why not? S/o would surely feel calmer and relieved after that, wouldn't they?

⋆If they'd burst into tears while talking about their frustration, though, Kei would immediately do something to calm them down.

⋆"Babe.. Look at me..", he'd hold their cheeks gently and look at their eyes.

⋆"You're a kind person.. You're probably the only genuine one I've ever met.. Seriously.. There isn't any kind of wickedness in you. You've that colour in your soul that nobody else has, neither your friends do... If they keep you out of their group, then it's because 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝒹𝑜𝓃'𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝒷𝑒 𝒾𝓂𝓅𝓇𝑒𝑔𝓃𝒶𝓉𝑒𝒹 𝒷𝓎 𝓎𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒸𝑜𝓁𝑜𝓊𝓇."

⋆After that he'd close his eyes and hug them tightly.

⋆Itsuki and feelings are like two parallel lines: they never meet!

⋆If Itsuki's s/o came back home after hanging out with their friends and felt some frustration and sadness because they've the presentiment that their friends are leaving them out of the group, then Itsuki would immediately understand his s/o's expression's change.

⋆At first he'd wonder why they've changed their facial expression and they seem sad.

⋆He'd surely keep an analyzing expression, just trying to understand them by scanning their movements and behaviour, just as a scanner would do with a sheet of paper.

⋆"Your eyes are so sad, s/o... You seem also frustrated. Has anything bad happened today?"

⋆As for Kei, if s/o prefers not to talk about it, then Itsuki would just nod as response and then come back to read.

⋆Of course he'd be at least a little bit worried and decide to keep an eye on them, just in case.

⋆"Hm.. Alright. I respect your privacy, s/o. Feel free to tell me later, if you want to."

⋆He may not be good with feelings, but I'm sure he'd be great at making others feel appreciated, especially his s/o.

⋆Itsuki would definitely buy or cook s/o's favourite food only to make them feel better.

⋆"I've made some researches and... I've found out that, weirdly, food manages well to make people happy, so... I thought to give you this.."

⋆On the other hand if s/o is comfy enough to tell Itsuki about their worries, then Itsuki will listen closely, still metaphorically scanning each of his dear s/o's movements and looks.

⋆But he'd surely keep wondering about feelings a lot, like...

⋆Why does s/o feel so sad about his friends letting them out of the group? They are smart and nice, they can make friends with other people and then create another friends group! So... Why?

⋆After a while, though, s/o would grab Itsuki's hands, maybe to feel him closer. He'd let them do it, of course. He wouldn't mind it at all.

⋆He'd even hug them if it's necessary.

⋆Itsuki can't understand emotions and usually wonders about what's the meaning of them. But he's smart and knows what people feel.

⋆Sometimes he even makes fun of feelings and thinks that they're not so important, but.. he knows they can hurt people and he can't stand when they hurt s/o.

⋆"Are you sure your friends did it on purpose or even did it?.. Did you ask them and clarify the situation? Please, s/o, do not jump to conclusion, or your heart will hurt without a reason... 𝒜𝓃𝒹 𝐼 𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓁𝓁𝓎 𝒸𝒶𝓃'𝓉 𝒶𝓁𝓁𝑜𝓌 𝒾𝓉 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝑜 𝒷𝒶𝒹.."

⋆Shogo is such a kind-hearted guy!!!

⋆He'd surely be so worried because of his s/o a lot!

⋆Like, I really imagine him following s/o to their room when they come back home only to ask them what's going on.

⋆"Honey!! Oh my god, what's happened?! Why are your eyes so red?! Have you cried!? Who made you feel this way?!"

⋆I headcanon he's also touchy, so he'd be there holding s/o's face and wipe their tears away.

⋆If s/o doesn't want to talk about it, then Shogo would be even sadder and more worried.

⋆I think he'd keep his eyes on them or even approach their room only to be sure that they're fine.

⋆Imagine him being behind his s/o's door, trying to hear if they're crying.

⋆I totally think he'd also buy some gummy bears and let them behind their room's door with some small flowers and some "I love you" notes.

⋆If s/o tells him what's going on, though, Shogo would be there for them, lying down with them on his chest and caressing their back.

⋆Those fools... s/o is perfect, how can they treat them like that?

⋆He'd give them the best cuddle, thinking and especially hoping to make them feel better.

⋆"They're stupid, honey... You're the best person I've ever met.. I love you a lot."

⋆He'd be the one to grab his s/o's hand and hang out with them in order to make them feel better.

⋆They both would go to a convenience store to buy a lot of gummy bears!! Why not??

⋆"Ohh. There are some gummy bears of your favourite flavour, honey!! Let's buy tons of them!"

⋆Maybe at the park together, buying some ice-cream or cotton candy?

⋆I'm sure s/o would feel better with Shogo, because he'd try so hard to make them feel better.

⋆Shogo knows that s/o's friends do not deserve his adorable s/o's tears! They're just fools who are losing the greatest treasure there is on the world: s/o.

⋆If while they're out together s/o starts crying again, Shogo would immediately wipe those tears away and kiss them softly.

⋆"You don't deserve to cry, s/o, so don't do it.. They don't know you and maybe judge you the wrong way. It's you the one who really knows who you are. Your actual friends, Toma, Aoi, Kantaro... they know who you are. I know who you are, I know your true essence.. 𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝒾𝒻𝓊𝓁 𝓉𝓇𝓊𝑒 𝑒𝓈𝓈𝑒𝓃𝒸𝑒."

⋆Toma can be narcissist, but he really cares about his fellows Visty and is probably the one who keeps them cheerful, since he's described to be also funny.

⋆But he really cares also about fashion and look, at least his one.

⋆He'd be so concerned to see his s/o sad or even worried and try hard to know what's happened and what made them feel that way.

⋆"Darl? What happened? You look so sad... Even your eyes are red.. Have you slept last night?"

⋆If s/o doesn't talk about it, then Toma would definitely try at least once again to know what has happened.

⋆He'd be very curious and concerned!

⋆"Come on, babe! Tell meee!"

⋆After a few failed attempts, though, he'd stop asking but keep his eyes really close to s/o..

⋆But so really closeeeeeee....

⋆I mean... they'd see him also entering the bathroom while they're having a bath and say: "Just needed my face mask, darl." and then go away closing the door.

⋆He'd do it actually to show them that he's there for them, to listen to them, to comfort them...

⋆But if s/o decides to tell him, Toma would feel so happy, because he'd realize that his dear s/o trusts him a lot.

⋆Also he'd let them sit on his lap and start caressing and brushing their hair, maybe even making some braids, while listen to them.

⋆When he know the reason, he'll be so angry, like.. he'd surely stand up, putting his hands on his own hips and look at them angry.

⋆Like... how those stupid losers dare to treat them?! Don't they know that his sweet s/o is beautiful and amazing?!

⋆Toma would surely do his best to make them feel better.

⋆He'd make them some face masks or take care of their hair.

⋆In short he'd cuddle them with this kind of things and, who knows? Even actually cuddle them, kissing their soft cheeks and caressing their hair until they both fall asleep, like if they were in a beautiful fable.

⋆If he sees s/o crying about it, he'd get panicked at first but then decide to do something.

⋆He'd grab his s/o's shoulders and lead them to the mirror.

⋆Then he'd surely stay beside them and ask: "Look at the mirror... What do you see?"

⋆After a while, though, he'd hug his s/o tightly, getting lost in their marvelous scent.

⋆"I see a beautiful, unique and strong person who doesn't deserve to cry... seriously, s/o.. they're only stupid and envious because of your beauty.. I love you! Stop crying, 𝓎𝑜𝓊'𝓇𝑒 𝒸𝓊𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓃 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝓂𝒾𝓁𝑒!"

Not an unpopular opinion at all I think but some people are very passionate about exactly the opposite thing so here goes

1. Tony Stark was the best part of MCU similar to Batman being the best part of DC

2. Killing Tony was the biggest mistake because MCU Phase 4(?) does not even hold a candle because Tony, Captain and all the amazing character are gone. The only one I can mildly tolerate watching now is Antman (and that is because Paul Rudd is so hot)

3. The last Thor movie which was released was the worst MCU movie ever made (though this might not be unpopular at all)

And I'm sorry for sending this because this is not something you post about but I have seen *some* iron man posts on your dash and I thought why not

omg an mcu ask!!!! please don’t apologise, i love this sm. and ur right, i’ve def posted some IM content bc i’m obsessed w both tony stark and rdj and tho i don’t talk about it, he owns a nice, large piece of my heart.

1. Strongly agree

can’t speak for DC but gosh, yes. tony stark is hands down the heart & soul of MCU. i literally just look at ts comps on youtube all the time bc i can’t stand the movies when they’re so anti tony :( but i also just. really like him ykno? and deeply thirst after him as well. he’s not just impeccable eye candle, but also a great muscle man AND the best brawn possible. literally the perfect package. also, u just know he fucks so hard.

2. Agree

yeah, i feel u. i’m not very invested in MCU as a whole so i don’t feel too passionate about it but amy movie without iron man automatically becomes meh to me. also just, this might be the real unpopular opinion here but i feel like they really butchered mcu spider-man?? like i adore tom holland, he’s v good in the role, but the plot is so stupid? it makes me cringe v v bad to the point i couldn���t even watch the third SM movie tbh.

3. Neutral

ooooh i’ve been v cut off from civilisation for a while so i haven’t watched it (and i’m terrible w any visual media that’s not in theatres hehe) but i’ve heard very mixed reviews about it so zero opinion from my side, friend.

Send me unpopular opinions!

[atlafan]

Ur totally right that it’s not Harry’s fault but u can admit that Beyoncé was robbed… she’s always winning the smaller categories of awards. The Grammys are continuously prioritizing white ppl- that’s just a fact. Renaissance, Kendrick’s and bad bunny’s albums were important for queer/POC culture in a way that I don’t think Harry’s was. Either way- I’m happy for all but I’d be cheesed if I was any of them :/

I honestly thought Kendrick was going to win AOTY because of how impactful it was, so when he lost I was genuinely shocked. As far as the Beyonce issue goes...I don't think she was robbed of anything. I know it must be frustrating to see her be nominated in this category time and time again only for her to lose, but she also now holds the record for most grammy's won, so I feel like she still had a good night. And I really liked Renaissance, I had it on repeat for months after it came out, but I honestly only really like about half the album? I've never been a giant fan of hers anyways, mostly because of how scared I am of her fans lmao

I'm not on the recording academy voting squad, so I don't know what boxes need to be checked for an album to be considered AOTY. Do they take streams/units bought into account? Do they look at how many songs were written by the artist? How the songs were produced? Who the songs were produced by?

For me, compared to the other albums, I feel like HH consumed the year. As It Was got popular on tik tok by accident, whereas Cuff It/Break My Soul/America Has a Problem were purposely used on tik tok to gain more popularity. And same goes for Lizzo with About Damn Time, she does the majority of her marketing on tik tok. And I was so excited for Adele's new album, but it fell short for me. I don't like Easy on Me at all. I know the album was deeply personal for her, and that's fine, but it just wasn't what I wanted/expected from her. Same sort of goes for Special??? Lizzo's first album has some of my favorite songs on it. Like I really wanted another song like Tempo, you know?

all that being said, the Grammy's are a joke and they're rigged. Artists get nominated on the basis of how much they schoomze the academy with gifts and reasons why they should be nominated. The Grammy's don't mean shit when they exclude other artists. How can you say someone is the best when you're not taking in a full spectrum of artists? The Weeknd is a perfect example of this. Blinding Lights should have been nominated for song of the year, right? And it wasn't, the academy still had the NERVE to ask him to perform after snubbing him! After Hours is an insanely good album, and it got paid dust. And don't even get me started on Plastic Hearts being snubbed. Miley put so much into that album, and it was so different and fun, and they snubbed her too.

I don't think anyone is ever going to be happy with any type of voting results. I just hate to see people being nasty online and making fun of other people. If you don't like someone's music, that's fine. If you don't like an artist, that's fine. I'm not perfect when it comes to this because I shit on TS all the time, but I do try to keep it civil and academic. I love a good critique if we're really getting into it. I love a good debate as long as it doesn't get personal.

I was shocked Harry won AOTY because he won pop vocal album. I figured they gave that to him so someone else would win the former, but I was surprised. We all know his music writing/making process, and I think that in itself is worthy of note. He goes off, does his thing, makes sure his album is cohesive (to the best of his ability, he's not always right), and then is strategic with how he puts his singles out. He makes sure the full body of work is done before releasing new music. Many artists in that category are notorious for releasing random singles/EP's instead of full albums because their record companies just want to see money and numbers.

I'm rambling now, but I love that we're having this conversation! I think it's important to have these discussions.

tldr: fuck the recording academy :)

reading hamlet for the first time (act 2 scene 2)

masterlist

people at my school are saying that the world is supposed to end, like, today, which only confirms my suspicion that this scene is gonna be the beginning of the end

on that uplifting note, let’s begin!

“KING CLAUDIUS: Hamlet’s transformation; so call it,” oh damn. i don’t like that word. ‘transformation.’ i don’t like it one bit

“KING CLAUDIUS: so by your companies To draw him on to pleasures, and to gather, So much as from occasion you may glean, Whether aught, to us unknown, afflicts him thus, That, open’d, lies within our remedy.” what is it with powerful men in denmark avoiding communication with the young adults under their care

“QUEEN GERTRUDE: And sure I am two men there are not living, To whom he more adheres.” u rite, there’s only one man and his name is horatio

rosencrantz: just order us you cowards guildenstern: shut the fuck up

king claud: thank you, oh wonderful guilderstern and…  rosencrantz mcidiot

“QUEEN GERTRUDE: Go, some of you, And bring these gentlemen where Hamlet is.” yeah, where IS hamlet and is he okay

“LORD POLONIUS: Give first admittance to the ambassadors; My news shall be the fruit to that great feast.” fuck you lord pony, you cheap bitch

(thanks, no fear shakespeare for informing me that polack means poland)

“VOLTIMAND:That it might please you to give quiet pass Through your dominions for this enterprise, On such regards of safety and allowance As therein are set down.” that is such a shady fucking request. so shady. “oh yeah lol my rebellious nephew lied to me abt invading poland so he could invade u instead, but then he gave me his WORD he wouldnt so i was so happy i let him actually invade poland but he still needs to go through ur country is that okay lol”

“KING CLAUDIUS: yes nothing could go wrong. excellent. i’ll allow it”

“LORD POLONIUS: brevity is the soul of wit” two things: one, isn’t that the quote AO3 gives you when you leave an empty comment box? two, isn’t wit slang for dick? brevity is the sould of  D I C K

“LORD POLONIUS: I will be brief: your noble son is mad.” yes he’s mad and he’s angry and WHERE IS HE

hey it’s impossible to overstate how fucking sad that letter makes me. it’s going in the currently hypothetical shrine.

“QUEEN GERTRUDE: the poor wretch…” (keysmash)

“LORD POLONIUS: Do you know me, my lord? HAMLET: Excellent well; you are a fishmonger.” (louder keysmash)

you know what im not gonna make those into actual keysmashes. everyone who reads this gets to ‘enjoy’ the notebook experience along with me.

“HAMLET: MAGGOTS ON DEAD DOGS! oh and also here’s a vaguely prophetic warning tone about your daughter having a baby.”

“LORD POLONIUS: What do you read, my lord? HAMLET: words you fucking idiot”

HAMLET SAID THE WORD ‘HAMS’ I REPEAT HE SAI–

“LORD POLONIUS: Will you walk out of the air, my lord? HAMLET: Into my grave. hamlet h hamlet. hamlet hamlet hamlet, no. hamlet, no.

“HAMLET: You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life.” why did he repeat that thrice. words, words, words; except my life, except my life, except my life.

“GUILDENSTERN: My honoured lord! ROSENCRANTZ: My most dear lord!” suckups

HAMLET: Then you live about her waist, or in the middle of her favours? GUILDENSTERN: 'Faith, her privates we. HAMLET: In the secret parts of fortune? why are we talking about fortune’s private parts

the fucking ‘prison of the world’ talk is,,,, it’s definitley got that mystical feeling about it. like he’s only got one foot stood in reality.

“HAMLET: ...were it not that I have bad dreams.” the ‘bad dreams’ part. god. how long has he been like this?

he’s talking like what he’s experienced isn’t possible to be described without metaphor, like english just doesn’t have the words for it.

oh god. hamlet. hamlet hamlet hamlet hamlet. oh god. my guy. hhhhhhhhhh

also. hamlet is confirmed bi. lovely.

js i feel like shakespeare’s @ing someone with this talk of child actors or w/e, i can feel the salt through the script

“HAMLET: I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw.” ONLY when the wind is southerly? i just hope he’s not going birdfeeding any time soon

“HAMLET: ...that great baby you see there is not yet out of his swaddling-clouts.” HE CALLED LORD PONY A BABY IN DIAPERS <incomprehensible scribbling>

Hamlet is being such a pain in the ass i love it

“LORD POLONIUS: The actors are come hither, my lord. HAMLET: Buz, buz!” lord pony is such a fucking buzz-buzz kill

“HAMLET: O Jephthah, judge of Israel, what a treasure hadst thou!” “NFS: Jephthahunwittingly sacrifices his daughter by making a vow too hastily.” this is pinpoint fucking accuracy

ooooh there’s a PLAY-CEPTION going on!!!

hamlet just reciting this speech from memory reminds me of my latin teacher going on a bit of a rant about how humans kinda forgot how to memorize long texts and how most educated men in rome could just start reciting parts of the aenid or w/e just out of the blue and how nobody memorizes literature anymore (cue me reciting the first part of ts eliot’s the hollow men, causing one of my friends to drag the trashcan near my desk and tell me to get in) and then she ended it by laughing at how old she sounded and mimicking a crochety old guy and saying ‘kids these days just dont recite homer like they used to’ and it became a class meme

“LORD POLONIUS: This is too long. HAMLET: It shall to the barber's, with your beard.” god hamlet just. does not give a shit anymore.

MONOLOGUE!

i’ve been wondering what he’s been thinking

NO mr teacher i will NOT put my phone away im done with my worksheet and im understanding this fucking monologue with only minimal NFS!!

okay so after reading that, a few things...

damn the whole what’s hecuba to him and he to hecuba is pretty powerful of a line, honestly, and its sorta getting to me

god poor hamlet honestly, just. poor hamlet.

also, like, i know that this is even just a preliminary plan but, really hamlet? put on a play and see how king claud reacts? okay. okay.

GOOD JOB HAMLET DONT TRUST KING BOO HE’S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU

god that isnt gonna last tho is it

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hamlet why do u have to do this to me

god. okay. 3rd act up next. im very scared.

MARY THE CHURCH AT THE SOURCE - PART 8

WRITTEN BY: JOSEPH CARDINAL RATZINGER AND HANS URS VON BALTHASAR

________

III

CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY

I

It is impolite to cut someone short. He rightly protests and says: “Let me finish!” It is just as impolite to cut the New Testament short, to click one’s stopwatch at some stage of its reflection on the phenomenon of Jesus Christ, to interrupt it in the middle of a single connected idea or sentence. A few exegetes are guilty of this impoliteness, and many people echo them without sufficient thought.

Everyone knows that the New Testament was conceived and written in the light of the Resurrection. The gift of certain faith in the Resurrection turned the world upside down. Without it, it would have been pointless to found a Christian community, write a Pauline letter, or compose a Gospel. The Resurrection casts its light backward on the enigmatic, peculiar existence of the man from Nazareth— above all on the failure of his career, the Crucifixion, which at the time seemed to have defeated all his expectations and promises. The light falls backward on this catastrophic event that had occurred only three days before, creating almost out of nothing, in a kind of primordial generative act, the nucleus of the Christian faith. This nucleus is summed up in the two words “for us”, already a firm conviction of the primitive Church when Paul arrived on the scene: “[He] was put to death for our trespasses and raised for our justification” (Rom 4:25).

Now, if someone wanted to freeze faith’s ongoing reflection once it had arrived at this insight, he would already be too late, for everything that comes later is already contained in this first germ. The light falls on what Jesus did the night before he suffered: “Eat the flesh that is broken for you, drink the blood that is spilled for you.” Indeed, the light falls even farther back on the inexplicable shape of his life, which could only create perplexity. On the one side, this terrible majesty, this superhuman claim in all that he did and said; on the other side, this equally terrible abasement and defenselessness, the feeling (of which he made no secret) that he was going to meet an ignominious death; and immediately afterward the renewed promise that he would come on the clouds of heaven to judge the world. Nothing in this existence seemed to round itself out; behind every final verdict one might try to reach there lurked a contradiction. “When they heard these words, some of the people said, ‘This is really the prophet.’ Others said, ‘This is the Christ.’ But some said, Ts the Christ to come from Galilee?’ So there was a division among the people over him” (Jn 7:40-41, 43). Even the elect disciples who knew him more intimately understood nothing, as they themselves confess. Nor could they have understood anything even if they had been much smarter than they actually were. You could explain the mysteries to them as much as you wanted—but what, in the end, was this kingdom of God they were always talking about and that had supposedly drawn near, no, had already completely come? The sick were healed; bread could be distributed to famished crowds; demons could even be expelled. Was this the kingdom of God? But whenever they thought they had found a clue to solving the puzzle, they would be rebuffed again: “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this” (Lk 10:20), Once only did he promise some of those standing by that they would see the kingdom of God coming in power before their death (Mk 9:1), but then we read that, because “they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately” (Lk 19:11), Jesus told them the parable of the man who went into a far country and told his servants to trade with his goods.

No, the puzzles were insoluble. The best one could do (so far as one did not, like bis relatives, think he was crazy) was to stick by him and hope that at some point he would resolve his own enigma. And he did resolve it—in the unity of defeat and victory, of Crucifixion and Resurrection. Now the unity of majesty and lowliness became clear: it was the unity of a mission from God and perfect obedience to the will of the Father. The unity of present and future, of the already now and the not yet, of restless activity and patient waiting for the Father’s hour, also became clear. The story of the disciples from Emmaus wonderfully illustrates how the sun of the Resurrection rises over the twilight landscape of Jesus’ life: “O foolish men. . . . Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?. . . Everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled” (Lk 24:25-26; 44).

And Jesus expressly (Lk 24:46) includes the Resurrection, the surpassing fulfillment of all God’s promises that the covenant between his eternal life and man’s mortal life would one day be perfectly fulfilled and that mortal man would become a partaker in his eternal life.

Once this immense paschal light had risen to illuminate Jesus’ life, there was no more stopping. The question simply had to be asked: Who really was this man; where did he come from originally? We thus arrive at the question of his provenance, to which the line from the Creed we are going to consider is the answer: “Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary”.

II

Now, running through Jesus’ life there was a very clear motif that, like Ariadne, gives us the guiding thread we need to venture forward into the mystery: Jesus’ unique, all-determining relationship to his heavenly Father. It is already the Synoptics, not John, who first give us the powerful words: “No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.” It is with this Father, whom Jesus customarily called Abba, Papa (the early Church handed on this word forever in Aramaic), that he wrestled in his most difficult hour: “ ‘Abba [Papa], Father, all things are possible to you; remove this chalice from me; yet not what I will, but what you will’ ” (Mk 14:36).,

In view of texts like these, which stand for many others, let us go abruptly to the question: Could this man, who had such a unique relationship to the “Father in heaven”, to whom he owed his existence, entrusted himself, and unreservedly gave himself back—could he owe his existence to another father at the same time? Could he, putting it crudely, have two fathers? Did he have to acknowledge two fathers as the source of his existence? After all, he did not live in our supposedly “fatherless society”, in which the fourth commandment seems to have faded to the point of total disappearance, in which the parent-child relationship no longer rests upon a holistic, fully human relationship of care and reverent love, but is reduced to a chance sex act that does not oblige the child toward its parents in any essential way. No, this man was a Jew who was part of his people’s intergenerational continuity. And in this continuity—precisely because of messianic hope, but also because of descent from Abraham, the first father—the parent-child relationship was the sustaining ground of one’s whole existence. Would not Jesus’ exclusive relation to his heavenly Father have deeply offended Joseph the carpenter if Joseph had been his physical father? And could Jesus, who, after all, enjoined the observance of the Ten Commandments (Mk 10:19), have himself transgressed against one that was so vital to all ancient cultures? And supposing he owed his existence as much to the man Joseph as he did to his heavenly Father, and so had to keep the commandment, would not this double paternity have led to certain schizophrenia? The only way out of the dilemma would be to say that he owes his existence to his heavenly Father like any other man whose immortal soul comes from the Creator, who plants this soul in the new being at the moment of the parents’ procreative act. If this were the case, Jesus would be, to be sure, a pious man who honors his parents and in doing so also thinks of his Creator, but he would be in no respect better or worse than we are, and he would have been just as incapable as we are of saying “no one knows the Father but the Son.” Nor would he have any special ability to mediate bis fellow men into a completely new relationship to their heavenly Father. He could do only what Harnack says he can: make them see a bit more clearly what they already know and are. For this reason I must for once contradict a statement of Joseph Ratzinger that has been repeated eagerly everywhere: “The doctrine of Jesus’ divinity would not be affected if Jesus had been the product of a normal Christian marriage.”1 But the point is that the human parent-child relationship is more than a mere physiological event.

If this claim is mistaken—and Jesus’ entire life, especially when seen in the light of the Resurrection, proves that it is—then it makes sense to see Jesus as the high point of a trajectory beginning in the Old Testament, as the superabundant fulfillment of a promise, toward which the Old Testament had already built the ladder.

The history of faith began with Abraham. He first obtained an ordinary son, Ishmael, by the fruitful Hagar, but God promised him another son when he was a hundred years old. This was the son of the promise, Isaac, whom Abraham’s sterile wife, Sarah, would bear. The same sign is repeated with the birth of Samson and, once again, with the birth of Samuel from Hannah, who until that time had been sterile. It occurred one last time with Elizabeth, who, also sterile, conceived the Forerunner, John, by an express divine miracle. “ ‘And behold, your kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will be impossible’ ” (Lk 1:36-37). This motif, which spans the entire Old Testament, haunted Jewish thought. Reflection brought more and more clearly to light that it was God himself who played the principal role in these begettings and conceptions. God’s power quickened the dead seed and the barren womb. Paul says that Abraham fathered Isaac in faith in “the God . . . who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. . . . He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead because he was a hundred years old, or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb” (Rom 4:17, 19). Paul likewise says that Isaac was “born . . . through promise” (Gal 4:23), “born according to the Spirit” (Gal 4:29).

However, so long as we stay within the horizon of the Old Testament, the human father’s relation to his son continues to play a decisive role despite everything that God does. Not the Holy Spirit, but Abraham is, in an eminent way, Isaac’s father. When they journey together to Mount Moriah, “Isaac said to his father Abraham, ‘My Father!’ And he said, ‘Here am I, my son.’ He said, ‘Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?’ ” (Gen 22:7). Before Samson’s birth, the angel first appears to the woman, who remains anonymous, but the decisive negotiations take place with Manoah of Zorah, from the tribe of Dan (Judg 13:2-24). The story of the barren Hannah also begins with a detailed description of her husband, Elkanah, son of Jeroham, and so forth, from Ramathaim-zophim, who makes a pilgrimage with his wife to sacrifice in Shiloh. And upon Hannah’s entreaty that a son be granted, we read of the two that “they rose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD; then they went back to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and the LORDremembered her” (1 Sam 1:1-19; citation, 19), And how clearly the priest Zechariah, of the division of Abijah, predominates over his wife in the first chapter of Luke. It is he whom the angel meets at the hour of incense, he who receives the detailed promise about the son who, filled with the Holy Spirit, will prepare the ways of the Lord in the power of Elijah.

It is Zechariah who, after having been struck dumb on account of his unbelief, is asked what name his son shall be given and finally sings the Benedictus: “And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying, ‘Blessed be the Lord God of Israel’ ” (Lk 1:67-68).

After these preliminaries, we would expect to learn a great deal about Joseph, the man descended from David on whom the whole promise depends. But the entire scene of the Annunciation, both in Matthew and in Luke, passes over him and concentrates entirely on Mary. Here for the first time the angel of the Lord addresses a woman, and it is she who transmits the Spirit whom she has received to another woman, her cousin Elizabeth, who only then is filled with the Holy Spirit and receives the sign of the child leaping in her womb. Mary alone sings the Magnificat. It is quite clear that something much more than “biological generation” is going on here, namely, the decisive appearance of God as the sole Father, an appearance that excludes a relation to another father to the same degree that Jesus’ spousal relation to his bride, the Church, rules out any other marital relation for him.

Abraham’s loins had been blessed by the Holy Spirit, who reawakened their life-giving powers. The old servant Eliezer had to touch them in order to seal his oath to provide Isaac with a bride. Surely Joseph’s life-giving powers would have received much more praise if they had finally brought forth the long-awaited scion of David.

But no. The whole process of bodily begetting, in fact, the whole question of whether a man or woman is fruitful or not, loses its importance in the New Covenant. Joseph crosses the threshold of the New Covenant by an act of renunciation. In this way he becomes the foster father of the one who himself will be a virgin and through a most radical renunciation will open a completely different source of life. His crucified body as a whole will be endowed with power to beget and, according to Paul, will produce his immaculate bride without spot or wrinkle, the Church.

The predominance of renunciation over human begetting places us before the very threshold of our Creed. To be sure, we have not yet crossed the threshold, for we must still make the step from the barren Elizabeth to the virginal Mary. But it surely bespeaks the biblical origin of the motif of the virginal birth that the angel of the Annunciation puts Mary’s hand in that of her cousin Elizabeth, thereby unequivocally deriving the motif from, and legitimating it in terms of, the Old Testament promise. Everything that Matthew and Luke say in their accounts of Jesus’ conception and birth can be understood, without exception, against the background of the Old Testament, whereas there is no trace in pagan mythology, in Egyptian or Hellenistic stories, of pharaohs or heroes being divinely begotten of a virgin. The very most one might concede here is that such distant parallels (but the differences are greater!) suggest a vague expectation that a great man could come directly from the divine world. But we must immediately introduce a correction here: According to the Jewish conception of God, there can be no question of a divine filiation in any physical sense.

On the one hand, Luke’s account directly cites the promise in Isaiah that the young woman (almah) will conceive and bear a son whom they will call Emmanuel (Is 7:14). The Hebrew word “young woman” is translated as parthenos in the Greek Bible. This term means “virgin”, and it thus builds a bridge to Nazareth. However, there was nothing particularly splendid about virginity in the Jewish world. On the contrary, all the light fell on the fruitful woman. For this reason, Mary’s allusion to the fact that God “has looked upon the lowliness of his handmaid” is another Old Testament echo.

Furthermore, the expression “Holy Spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most High will overshadow you” also refers, in its entirety, to the Old Testament. Nowhere in the Old Testament does God couple himself in a “sacred marriage” with a human being; rather, he always sends the power of his Spirit from his inaccessible height to enact his will. And yet here, too, we cross the threshold from the Old Covenant to the New—we are talking about the Virgin Birth, after all!—and we should not hesitate to see this “Holy Spirit” as divine power that Christian reflection on the events came to call the third Divine Person, or hypostasis. That fact that the word pneuma has no article here (as is often the case in the New Testament), whereas in other passages it does (“to pneuma”), is not a decisive argument against our claim the texts sometimes add or drop the article from one verse to another, for example at Jesus’ baptism: “He will baptize you with Holy Spirit. . . . Then [Jesus] saw the heavens open and the Spirit descending like a dove. . . . The Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness” (Mt 1:8, 10, 12). What is much weightier is that it is precisely in the scene of the Annunciation that the angel’s threefold speech is the first explicit mention of the three hypostases of the Godhead: “The Lord is with you” (Yahweh, the God of Israel, whom Jesus will call his Father); “you will bear the Son of the Most High”; “Holy Spirit will overshadow you.” If the Father, as the Almighty, remains on high, if, on the other hand, the Son allows himself to be borne into the womb of the Virgin, thus allowing his Incarnation to occur, rather than actively carrying it out, it is, and always will be, the Holy Spirit, as the third divine hypostasis, who is the real agent in the Church’s prayers and sacraments and charisms.

III

And now just one point remains: the vessel that receives the power of the Most High, the Virgin. The text has told us that she is betrothed to a man named Joseph, which, according to Jewish law, means that she is already legally married to him but is not yet living with him. The Jews considered it a disgrace to consummate marriage during the time of betrothal. For this reason, Mary also asks the angel: “How can this be, since I [for the time being] have no husband?” However, Mary’s connection with Joseph is absolutely decisive for New Testament theology, because only Joseph was of the Davidic stock that bore the messianic promise, and it was the legal father who decided which lineage a child belonged to. If we reflect on this tapestry of subtly calibrated interconnections, we cannot help observing that Jesus’ divine sonship is a much better founded, much more essential fact than his messiahship, to which he actually attached little importance, at least in its then conventional meaning. When Peter proclaimed him as the Messiah, he directed attention instead to the Son of Man and the suffering servant who would have much to suffer; but a Messiah that really suffered like the servant of God was unimaginable to a Jew of the time.

The Virgin, harboring a mystery under her heart, remains in profound solitude. In a silence that almost causes the perplexed Joseph to despair. Incarnation of God means condescension, abasement, and, because we are sinners, humiliation. And he already draws his Mother into these humiliations. Where did she get this child? People must have talked at the time, and they probably never stopped. It must have been a sorry state of affairs if Joseph could find no better way out than to divorce his bride quietly. God’s humanism at once begins drastically. Those whose lives God enters, those who enter into his, are not protected. They have to go along into a suspicion and ambiguity they cannot talk their way out of. And the ambiguity will only get worse, until, at the Cross, the Mother will get to see what her Yes has caused and will have to hear the vitriolic ridicule to which the Son is forced to listen.

In Greek tragedy there is the chorus that comments on the events, and it can be either sad or celebratory. In the Christian drama of Christmas, the angels of the gloria are the chorus; they comment on the heavenly truth of this poor earthly scene in the manger. Glory is due God in heaven, but joy is given on earth to those men who delight in his good pleasure. In the first place, that means this new man, his Son. And then around the Son, those who are placed at his side: the Virgin who gave herself to be his Mother; the man who for the sake of God’s will renounced being his father; the shepherds watching at night who are granted the favor of being the first to see the sign of salvation. The Son will appoint his own shepherds and his own sheep. May these shepherds, too, pass the Christmas season watching over their flocks (Lk 2:8) and announcing to all those entrusted to them the sign that the God of grace has worked for us all.

Prejury Rites of Passage

Ali - The undisputed Subway Queen. Somehow, other than maybe JJ, you have ended up as maybe the most talked about player this season, your legacy lives on. Your tribe PSAs about your feelings on the vote were legendary, and I genuinely really enjoyed talking to you. If you are still looking for closure, from my perspective, the reason you left the game was because while we had greater conversations, I’m not sure how much you had talked to the others, and you targeted who was someone who was already well-connected in Mitch, and who was also someone I didn’t want to see go. With that said, you remain a legend, the original robbed goddess of the season, and in Tumblr Survivor: Sandwich Royalty, I can’t wait to watch you snatch first place.

Benj - You were really nice but just didn’t talk much! Queen of subway, queen of stacking sandwiches, queen of telling us you scored over 50 but actually scored 0. We still talk about that iconic moment.

Caeleb - I’m sorry I never got to meet you. The way people talk about you is iconic, so I can only imagine that you are actually are. 

Ali - You will without question not remember this, but you played in my first ever season! You were inactive, and basically didn’t message anyone, but you wrote a confessional that I still remember about me being annoying and wanting me to shut my mouth. It seems you knew the truth of my annoying ways before the rest of the cast, so perhaps you are the wokest one of all.

Caeleb - I messaged you about corn. And then we never talked again, and that’s why I think I got your vote. But you seemed really fun, I just wish I got to know you more. 

Tom - Hi pal it’s me Tom uhm it was nice to meet someone that i would have never met in my real life as you are into drag so it was nice talking to you for the small portion you were in the game

Ali - Jared, you are the OG crackhead of the season, and I honestly miss you for it. You were such a king, and a pleasure to talk to, but I think from jump you were playing super hard, and spreading stuff back and forth which I think got a lot of early attention on you? So I think when info spread about the Budva idol being found, and about the Mitch vote, people found that frustrating and wanted you out, which played onto my own fears of you playing hard, so I got on board. With that said, I was genuinely very sorry on a personal level to see you go, as I know you had a lot more game in you, and I look forward to seeing you play another game, because you defo DEFO should.

Benj - You were one of my favs from the start and was hoping to go further with you but unfortunately you got a bit too messy! Hope u can do well in future games tho!

Caeleb - The only thing I know about you is that Mitch said, “that’s what you get for targeting me” at your tribal. At least I think it was. 

Ali - I LOVE YOU. I doubt you remember me also, but I remember talking to you during Tumblr Survivor: Solomon Islands, both your first season and one of the first seasons which I followed in this community. It was very full circle seeing you play this season, and I was super disappointed to see you go so early, but obviously OG Durmitor saw how iconic you were and didn’t want to compete!

Benj - WILLOW MY QUEEEEEEN. Literally the only person I was friends with before this season and it sucks that once again we never got to play with each other :(( After you left I knew I had to make it far for you I hope youre proud u were robbed!!

Caeleb - I am sad, I really liked Willow. She was undeniably sweet, and she really wanted to do better than her last time in Kuwait. I really wanted to help her out with that and when JJ told me to vote Willow and Willow wasn’t around to make a countermove I knew it was too late. BUT I miss Willow and her super sweet heart, and Benj and I talk about how we had to do well for her honor. 

Tom - Robbed honestly kinda sad that u left but unfortunately that’s where majority went 😢

Ali - Okay this season has had many upsetting moments. However, I believe maybe the most upsetting was you sending the picture of the blue wig you wanted to wear in a lip sync challenge to the OG Budva tribe chat. Seeing you wear it the following round, and be sent home right after, was so upsetting, that wig was truly CURSED. You were also kinda cracked apparently, but we were gonna be fellow bad bitches of the tribe which I loved (I may have also voted for you one round but… let's forget about all that NNNN)

Benj - You were iconic in the music vid challenge but we just didn’t have as good of a connection that I found with the new Durmitors on the tribe which is why I ended up siding with them ://

Caeleb - Noah was some guy. He has a vibrant personality and had an interesting mentality towards survivor. It seemed like he was willing to make big moves, and to my favor that didn’t end up working out for him. Regardless, his strategy was unique and his energy was intense and colorful. 

Ali - Okay… JJ, hnnngh let’s buckle in. First off, can I just say, apparently you showed your mum my intro, and she said I was a mess… so your mum gets me as a person. Otherwise… you were actually crazy, some highlights being when you wanted to call me when I was coming back from a night out with friends and with them in McDonalds at 5am, or when you wanted to call me 0.5 seconds after I left my prom. In general, while I found you super frustrating lowkey and didn’t particularly appreciate the pseudo-threats you made to my game, I know you genuinely mean well, and hearing stories about your activities in a car park aside, are a good soul really. Just… no more constant calls.

Caeleb - JJ was some kid. When he wanted to call every day in Durmitor I told my friends that I was going to be really upset if he beat me in this game, because I didn’t like that we were calling for hours on end every single day. However, he did include me in talks and was always kind to me, and it actually took me by surprise when I found out that everyone felt that same unease about him. I think that attests to his strength if he were to make it post-merge. Early on that creates a big target, but this could’ve come in as a strength long-term.

Tom - eek cracked legend, as much as you drove me up the wall with all your plans it was cool to reconnect since tengaged uhm say gday to your mum for me and just a tip for next time it’s a marathon not a sprint ❤️

Ali - You were the Siri to my Alexa. While I initially assumed you would potentially be first boot, you became… such a legend, and the way you would message me about votes, while terrifying was also iconic. I also heard you were recruited by Dennis, who is also a king, so if Dennis stans, we do too. Apparently you kind of disappeared/gave up, which is a shame, since I think Siri could’ve fought on and been amazing.

Benj - Challenge beast!! You always put in the best effort that I have seen in chals and sad u vanished at the end hope ur ok!

Caeleb - We had some really fun discussions about his gaming career and the different gaming communities he’s apart of. I honestly thought our connection was pretty friendly and enjoyable, I kinda wish we had kept up our communication after the Noah vote. 

Ali - Evan, you were a really sweet guy and on a personal level, I loved talking to you. I think your fate was somewhat sealed by you telling JJ he was going to go home the first swap round, in that it kinda eroded trust in you, and alienated you from the other six members of the tribe. With that said, I do want to apologise to you, for not being around during the second day of the challenge where we had to unscramble the names of the survivor players, and for not helping out enough; it was clear that challenge would determine your fate, and I wish I had done more.

Caeleb - This boy was an icon. I do think he was kinda robbed. Sure, he was paranoid, but TS is just a cluster-f of emotions so like who can blame him. He made crazy connections and always told people that they were his number one. Honestly, I believed him when we were on the same tribe. Either he was goofing me just as he was everyone else, or he actually did trust me. I hope it was the latter!

Tom - oh Evan you really uhm got unlucky with this vote off, I feel like you were so good in the game just unfortunately  loyalty kicked your ass :( it was lovely meeting you and hearing about you and your gf cute ass relationship 

Ali - Okay, as you said to me, I definitely, definitely have some explaining to do. I genuinely loved our personal conversations throughout this game, but I also have felt since round two of this game, that you were a threat of astronomical proportions and needed to go sooner rather than later. Your win in the lists immunity challenge solidified this, and I consistently considered you a major threat through both the tail end of pre-swap and during the swap. When the merge vote happened, and an opportunity opened up to both remove you and separate you and Jason as a duo, it was an opportunity I had to capitalise on. I genuinely am so sorry for how dirty you were done, and I also hate that you weren’t even on jury, but I hope you can at least take something out of how well you played, while you were in the game.

Benj - Omg Ian I think that you think I voted you/knew about your vote off when really I had no idea you were one of my favs from the start to talk to and it sucks you left so soon before we got to truly play together :((

Caeleb - I got to chat with him for like 3 days, but he seemed like such a sweetheart. We couldn’t talk game because we were both being told that we were on the opposite side of the votes, and it seemed smart to stick with our respective groups. Regardless, our chats were pleasant, fun, and kind, and I honestly could have seen myself working with him throughout the season and going far with him if things were just different. We were pitted against each other, and sadly that’s the way it is 

Tom - ahh bromigo honestly by far the most robbed of this season I’m so sad you couldn’t be apart of jury because you deserved it, I’m sure we’ll keep talking after this game and I just want to say thank you for being such an amazing ally and friend probably the person I enjoyed speaking too the most
