experimentalmadness:

OF COURSE IT’S OKAY.

IT’S A PERFECTLY NATURAL REACTION.

WITHOUT A SEXY SATAN THE ENTIRE COSMOS WOULD CRUMBLE AND CHAOS WOULD ENSUE.

#Let’s just say hell is hot for a very good reason #Satan #I don’t have to justify my fangirl ways to anyone #I do what I want

will you marry me

Paradise Lost is basically glorified fanfiction for the Bible.

My English Lit classmates mocked me for finding Paradise Lost-Satan attractive.

The only reasonable conclusion: my English Lit classmates were all idiots.

…growing up to godhead which for thee

Chiefly I sought, without thee can despise.

For bliss as thou hast part to me is bliss,

Tedious unshared with thee and odious soon.

“[…] for who would lose,
Though full of pain, this intellectual being,
Those thoughts that wander through eternity,
To perish rather, swallowed up and lost
In the wide womb of uncreated night,”

- John Milton, Paradise Lost (Book 2), lines 146-9. (via zitterberg)

THIS IS AMAZING. I had no idea this blog existed! Ah, internets.

like

four for you, satan. you go satan

That Awkward Moment When

…you realize you are the ultimate nerd because you’ve recognized, cited, and analyzed Paradise Lost references in the European industrial music you’ve bummed from your boyfriend’s younger brother. And enjoyed it.

more like that AWESOME moment!!

“The contest climaxed when together, with next to almighty force, each uplifted his sword, taking aim for that one stroke which would need no repeat. Neither seemed to have advantage over the other in assault, or in swiftness of defense, but the hard sword of Michael, given him from the armory of God, was so tempered that no substance sharp or solid might resist its edge.”

- Paradise Lost: The Novel, Joseph Lanzara

I sketched this in my notebook during a lit class discussion of Paradise Lost…

It’s got a few things wrong with it, from an artistic standpoint, but it’s the first thing I’ve drawn in a month or so…

heck no dude it’s freakin pretty
