Fwend help me. I’m so lost.

I thought Saints were like religious people that the Catholics were like “they are holy and help out with x, y, z” and have their own little prayers.

WHAT IS A PATRON SAINT—

Do saints not have to be holy??? I ???

Are there good and bad saints ??

Then again I guess the Bible is full of questionable prophets—

So that checks out. BUT STILL.

(I’m not attacking btw) (I am genuinely curious and confused)

nono, they are that's what a saint is

the confusion I think comes from a cultural thing here because when I think of saint I don't go "oh yeah martyrs that died for religion" I think "my bestie Sant Jordi <3 dia del llibre my beloved. my bestie Sant Joan another banger holiday <3 and because of Santa oliva i never had class the 10th of June thanks bestie" and "yeah when it's the day of the saint with my legal name I get money"

and it's because here basically every single day is the day of a saint, and every town and sometimes neighborhoods have their own (patron) saint, etc, so the actual meaning of saint is quite lost on me when talking in general about them (again I put the emphasis on patron and not on saint)

and a patron saint is just. the Thing the saint got prayed to. here mostly it's the saint of your town (not because they were from it but because of a bunch of different reasons). in my town it's Santa Oliva because it's been a town that produces olive oil since forever and people back then prayed to her so their crops would be plentiful (oliva is olive in Catalan btw) and eventually the Pope said yeah we'll give this town Santa Oliva as their patron saint

so,,, yeah don't know if that's clearer

#idk man 99% of our traditions and cultural stuff are religious technically but no one really cares much about that part #like. there's also a bunch of schools that are named after a random saint but they are just like any other school #ALSO PLACES #you can talk to me about sant esteve my first thought will be oh yeah neighboring town second thought will be soup and canelons

Proof below:

Also, I’m fucking crying, I think his arm is like that bc he fell asleep holding the photo.

EDIT: more proof:

#than Laura drove them home…#I wonder if Logan continued to sleep in the car or if he woke up and helped carry Deadpool inside and place him on the bed #or did Logan also get dragged to the bed? while asleep?#he weighs like 600 lbs because of the metal so it would be incredibly hard to do #correction he weighs between 350 to 425 lbs #deadpool and wolverine #wolverine #deadpool #poolverine

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

#climate change #im TIRED #and i’m saying this as someone who also lives in the US.#im glad that none of you have to worry about your family and friends in other countries dying because of the heat #but this idea that “oh we have to stop it before we reach the extreme” is SO STUPID #because it’s already reached the extreme in some places!!#people are dying in south asia. people are dying in southeast asia. people are dying in africa. people are dying in central america.#people are dying in south america. people are dying in island nations.#what will it take you to care about these people #or will you not care until it’s people who look like you who are dying.

sometimes I randomly think about the time a girl posted in this girls only Facebook group I’m in telling everyone how she broke up with her boyfriend and he lied saying that he lost the spare key she gave him, only to then break into her apartment when she wasn’t home and steal the cat they’d adopted while they were together, but then he denied having done this and she didn’t really have proof that he took the cat since he wouldn’t let her come into his place and look for it. And then another girl saw this post and knew her ex-boyfriend, and she was like “girl. I used to hook up with your mans back in xxxx and I still have his number. If you want, I’ll hit him up and get him to invite me back to his place and see if your cat’s there.” And the OP was like “bet.”

So this woman hit up homie dog, asked him out for drinks, went home with him, slept with him, and then woke up in the middle of the night and TOOK THE CAT. Like she had only said that she would confirm if the cat was there but then she took it upon herself to steal this woman’s cat back. Like she full on Trojan horsed this man and then hit up homegirl like “I got the goods. Where you wanna meet.” And then the two of them posted a photo of them together with the cat to the group.

And I just think women supporting women is so beautiful.

#the best part of all is that I also knew the ex boyfriend because he worked at this place my friend was the manager of #and I texted my friend like ‘yo have you heard about this cat situation’#and she was like ‘I swear to god if one more person asks me about this fucking cat’#it was the drama of the century #the whole city was up in arms over this cat

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #kabru #kabru already added laios as a discord friend. everyone else in the server can see laios excitedly asking kabru to go with him #what would You even Do in this situation. how would YOU feel?#basically: kabru isnt a laios-hater! hes just in shock bc Thats His Trauma. the key part is kabru still says yes #bc he wants to get to know laios. to understand why laios would be so fascinated by something horrific to him #and ALSO bc even while in shock kabru can still tell laios has unique expertise + knowledge that Could be used for Good #even if kabru doesnt fully trust laios yet (bc kabru just started talking to the guy 2 hours ago. they barely know each other)#kabru also understands that getting to know ppl (esp laios) means having to get to know their passions. even if it triggers his trauma here #but thats too much to fit in this metaphor/analogy. this is NOT an AU! its not supposed to cover everything abt kabru or laios' character!#its a self-contained metaphor written Specifically to be more easily relatable+thus easy to understand for general ppl online #(ie. assumed discord users. hence why i said (a non-specific) 'discord server' and not something specific like 'car repair subreddit')#its for ppl who mightve not fully grasped kabru's character+intentions and think hes being mean/'chaotic'/murderous.#to place ppl in kabru's shoes in an emotionally similar situation thats more possible/grounded in irl experiences and contexts.#and also for the movie punchline #mynn.txt #dm text #crossposting my tweets onto here since my friends suggested so

My darlings, my loves, my fellow weirdos, I am begging you all to REST after you have covid.

I know it is very hard, and our society asks you to get back up and running at full speed as soon as possible, before you’re even done testing positive even.

But please my friends, please rest.
