people complain about Jason not being married all the time yep. i mean that's one of the biggest reasons why connie/jason is such a popular ship. i'm not personally invested in connie's love life, but i am frustrated that AIO has historically been introducing characters to be love interests first a...

I'm only gonna pull so many punches here—I hate the MCU take on Spider-Man. Don't get me wrong, Tom Holland is great for the role, and there's a lot of stuff there that's great conceptually and/or completely divorced from the context, but the MCU's Iron Man worship has been getting on my nerves sinc...

i'm actually a worship leader at my church! we do primarily contemporary stuff, but especially worship anthems by hillsong, elevation, and bethel. our worship pastor freely admits not caring for the theology of any of those places, on a doctrinal level, but the composition and lyrical quality of the...

Not really. Because while Peter was a fisherman by trade, he—like all other Jewish men—had been trained to some extent in the knowledge of the Torah. Paul, who presented the gospel using his vast wealth of academic knowledge as a former Pharisee, had an even greater claim to that understanding. Jewi...

So I was intrigued by the verse you shared, Aiofan7, and looked it up myself. I've read 2 Peter, but it's been awhile, so I couldn't recall that verse specifically. The problem with your use of it is that it doesn't make sense with the context around that verse. For wee haue not followed cunningly d...

...Wow, what have I missed? Couple of things: I'm sure you've heard countless rebuttals to your point about occultic entertainment, so I won't waste your time or mine making one here. And frankly, that's not the point, at the end of the day. Because if you think Harry Potter and D&D are occultic...

Either Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse or Zootopia. Probably Spider-verse, but Zootopia is really inspiring to me as an artist because of the worldbuilding.

Is it just me or does Jillian look a bit like Kristin Bell?

so my history/poli-sci-double-major older brother wrote this treatise. i agree with everything except that tom riley is dead, because rather than die tom riley is an immortal cryptid and that's the tea. anyway. The Politics of the World of AIO In order to talk about the politics of the world of AIO,...

I'll do you one better: who is Mario Kart?

you know there are ways to get rid of the parker family without people dying, right?

I think she means it's her opinion that she, personally, wants Connie to get married because she likes the idea, while you personally do not. Now me, I don't have a preference either way, but I do find it frustrating that historically speaking in this show, all the lead men sans Jason get to be marr...

well sure, but other people can ship as they wish. this is the 'peculiar ships' thread, after all. there are bigger problems with connie/jason than the age gap.

"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ" —Ephesians 4:15 And this isn't even about the truth; it's about an opinion. Tact and diplomacy shouldn't really be optional for anybody, but especially not for us as believers, and it...

Cute, high-quality character design and animation would be nice.

Moderate conservative. Not surprising, but I'd have liked it better if it was more like the ISideWith quiz, where you have to give a reason for what you believe; there are questions I wasn't sure if I should answer on a personal level or on a political level. Just because I believe something persona...

=OOOOOOO

you beautiful people <3

So my brother's an AIO geek on the 'let's explore geopolitics' side of things, which means his stories are quite often a departure from the norm, but in an interesting way. He's basically created a full section of Whit's backstory from the infamous AIO two-parter "Castles & Cauldrons",...

get rekt scrub, it's 80 degrees down here

Eh, I never cared for MOR; it always seemed like some edgelord trying to act like they knew better than Rowling but ended up writing about completely different characters so they might as well have written an OC anyway. And the books pretty clearly show the flaws of the Gryffindors. When the founder...
