#my final exam essay was about this

[scobbe]

The thing to understand is that in the ancient world, in rituals of agreement between two parties, in the sacrifices of animals made in the binding ritual, the animals would be cut in half, the two parties making the promises passing between the halves as if to say, “If I break my word, this is what will be done to me — I will be killed and cut in two.” From this came the wording, “to cut a covenant.”

So when the bread is broken in the Eucharist, the body of Christ, the Passover sacrifice, “this is my body broken for you,” that is God, giving himself as a sacrifice for the promised covenant, that he will indeed take you back in eternal grace and everlasting life. That is the promise he is making to you every time the bread is broken, every time the blood is poured out as wine. It is all about a promise, an agreement he is offering to us. To be sacrificed, over and over again, as this offering of eternal life.

This is what continues to stun me about Christianity. It is complex and layered in ways “Jesus saves!” hardly conveys, in ancient practices so foreign to our modern world they almost seem savage. Yet to this day something about it continues to get to people. Something about holding up a piece of bread and breaking it in two resonates somehow and makes us say “Yes,” and come forward to participate in that offer from God. And something about that changes people’s lives.

It is a great mystery, far beyond all that has ever been done in its name, good or bad.

My Unpopular Clone Wars Opinion That Would Get Me Lynched: Fives is actually extremely smart, responsible, capable, and calculated, and is much less of a troublemaker than fanon makes him out to be. I am currently writing an essay on this.

NAAAHH, BECAUSE I AM LOWKEY OBSESSED WITH THIS PANEL *gremlin noises*

In all seriousness, Lanyon allowing himself to be at peace whenever he was alone with Jekyll lowkey portraying how he let his guard down around Henry kinda makes me wanna scream??

ALSO, THE WAY HE RESPONDS TO WOMEN AS 'THE FAIRER SEX' AND HENRY TO LOSE INTEREST IN THEM BECAUSE OF HIS UNINTENTIONAL CRUSH IS BRILLIANT

New Page didn't disappoint

[gay-victorian-astronomer]

In my first year university course there was a class I remember as being mandatory (at least for English majors) about fallacies and biases in writing. And this prof was all about reading the whole article before you formed your argument. That was his whole thing. You know measure twice cut once he was read twice respond once. He stressed this so much that on our final exam (which was two long form essay questions and a few short answer questions) that I decided to read the WHOLE exam booklet before I grabbed my pen.

Turns out that is what he wanted. The final page, the final question, informed the student that if they wrote 1. Their name, 2. Their student number 3. Their favourite fallacy, and wait for 30 minutes so they don't arouse suspicion, you will literally be given 100 percent for the exam WORTH 40 PERCENT OF YOUR GRADE.

I think about it to this day. The prof literally saw the "reading comprehension on this site is piss poor" and said I can fix them
