i will NEVER understand people who don’t like the 2014 swedish productions annas he is such a vibe especially in the temple. "Here you can get prayer, here you can get genitals! Woahohoho! Holy water, horny women!" and then he does a silly dance with his silly little walking stick

The musical is ameizing

[strange-thing-mystifying]

Hello! I have fallen back into the Pirates of the Caribbean Fandom, and have been in a big Sparrington mood of late. I Would love to RP some Jack Sparrow x James Norrington. I would really like to explore a relationship between them.

I'm 28F, so please be at please be 20+. I write semi-lit, anywhere from 2-4 paragraphs (more if I am inspired), 3rd person. I am open to AU's, canon divergent, and can play either James or Jack. I RP on discord and love talking out of character, sharing fanart, and making playlists for our characters.

If you are interested, please like this post or send me a message, and I will get to you as soon as possible!

Edward Knippers, Judas Kiss

😭 this is so beautiful!!!!

“Judas Kiss” by Becki Jayne Harrelson.

[image description: an oil painting with a background featuring a dark sky and hills, with a path leading to a vague city in the far back; the foreground features a seated Jesus with Judas sitting behind him. Both have olive skin and long black hair and beards and are nude except for fabric around Jesus’ waist. Judas has a hand on Jesus’ bare chest and another hand on his shoulder and is placing a tender kiss on Jesus’ neck. Both men’s eyes are shut. / end image description] 

Harrelson’s commentary on this 1993 painting is as follows:

“Many people are uncomfortable with sex, an anxiety that’s reflected in attitudes with gender differences and sexual inhibition. Some of this fear is projected and disowned as homophobia.

At the root of these attitudes resides an active belief that not all forms of love’s expression are sacred. We must begin to think of sexuality as a divine state, a natural act. And when I say sexuality, I don’t mean pederasty or bestiality. That’s violence—not sex—sexuality is always consensual and loving. If you are having sex as a means of making love, of affirming life, how can there be reason for shame? To quote an Atlanta minister, ‘God is not a neurotic old school marm. We need to get God off the bedpost and back into bed.’

Why does Judas Kiss depict Jesus in a homosexual embrace if I do not literally mean Jesus was gay? In Western Civilization, Jesus is THE ideal of holiness, of perfection in the flesh. My purpose is to de-shame our human sexual natures, especially gay sexuality, and present it as a sacred act, a spiritually correct behavior. Thus, Jesus is the perfect symbol to help us heal our shame and reclaim the holiness of our sexual natures.

I also chose Judas as a symbolic reminder that we betray ourselves and others when we reject or disown what is intrinsically our nature.”
