Troper Updates II, Part II

Go To

In which we get updates from the lives of tropers. Kinda like Twitter with more than 140 characters, but less than a blog or LJ.

Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.

Alright, suppose you have a religion that bears similarities to Christianity. There's a god, there's his son, son goes out, gets disciples, changes the world.

Now, what would make people revere the John the Baptist figure over the god and his son?

I just want to know how to justify praying to a cheerful talking sarcastic skeleton instead of to an angry lord of winter.

I've only had the green tea pocky once but I remember liking it. I actually still have the box since I ended up putting eyeliners in it. [lol]

That sounds good, Oz. Green tea ice cream is good too.

-reads article on Mandeism-

Hmm, something like that. Not entirely, though.

And yeah, green tea ice cream is the best ice cream.

Son of a BITCH

I am going to get my ass kicked in Mandarin tomorrow.

And my bike's broken, so I couldn't make it to my pathetically basic math class I'm stuck in.

Dammit.

That reminds me that I have unopened tea sitting next to me. I keep thinking, "I'm thirsty, I should open this."

Yeah, the obvious difference is that Jesus is evil in Mandaeism.

Well, at least I had fun answering your question, Krack. Privately. Not like some harlot.

Kinda feel like reading the 4e DND PH 2. I should do my reading for religious studies, though.

Yep. Also, Moses and Mohammad are also evil.

Adam, Seth, and Abel are their prophets.

Also, this reminds me that I meant to look up Mandaenism like a long time ago

Well, Adam and Seth are preeetty awesome. But I like Moses and Mohammad too.

Gnostics are big on Seth. There was even a sect usually called the «Sethians». They thought that Seth received some major revelation and there's all this racial junk too.

Same to you. Ups and downs, rather just feeling good after being pissy for half a week. Aside from that, rather boring to be frank. What about you?

Hibye before going to school. [lol]

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.
