ok I was just telling my sisters about the Vito Russo test and I was trying to say "one of the founders of GLAAD," but instead I said "one of the flounders of Gad" which is an extremely fun phrase to say. So of course we imagined the live action Little Mermaid remake but with Josh Gad as Ariel, and he spends the whole movie managing his swarm of Flounders (who of course include Vito Russo). And actually this movie would pass the Vito Russo test because now Ariel is gay for Eric, but being gay is not his primary character trait; his primary character trait is managing all his Flounders and their various fish problems. It's called "The Flounders of Gad" and they go on quests and stuff. And none of them are actual flounders, they're all different types of fish who are just named Flounder -- except Vito Russo, who is a flounder named Vito Russo.
Me, seeing that today's episode is narrated by Seward: Why hello Dr. Daddy Issues! What human rights violations have you committed since last we heard from you, my little drop of chloral?
would you put a discarded fruit sticker on my forehead in whimsical jest yes or no
reblog to put a discarded fruit sticker on the forehead of the person you reblogged from in whimsical jest
Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the "lance of longinus" and responded, word for word, "Like from Evangelion?" One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as "Dominican" and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn't meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that's a weird way to say that and I'm pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.
This but it's my partner taking an art history class in college and the professor looking at them like they grew a second head when they answered "What came out of Jesus' wound when he was stabbed on the cross" with "...Blood?"
Additions that prove my point by mystifying me because what on earth would come out of a nail wound besides blood. Are you telling me it was something besides blood. What was jesus full of that wasn't blood. You guys are scaring me
Apparently it was water?? I guess he was also stabbed on top of being crucified (which feels like overkill imo) and water came out, which was a huge deal in medieval symbolism and also to my medieval poetry professor, who was genuinely shocked and upset that I didn’t know. This man fully docked me points because I, a whole ass Jew, hadn’t somehow heard about the secret waterballoon Jesus lore that I guess everyone is supposed to like… intuit
On the plus side, it does lead to some absolutely wild medieval Jesus art of angels tapping him like a fucking keg
a friend of a friend went to go see passion of the christ for kicks without knowing anything about the story
when jesus was hauled up on the cross he turned to my friend and said, in all evident sincerity, 'i know they're not going to kill the main character but how's jesus getting out of this one?'
I am not responsible for who I become when hyperfixating
I'd like to see YOUR dignity hold up when flooded by 2000% of your typical dopamine levels
