godzilla

trustycoffeemug
a fixture of japanese pop culture who may arguably qualify as a middle-tier deity. first reaching movie screens in 1954 as the brainchild of screenwriter shigeru kayama, director ishiro honda, special effects whiz eiji tusburaya, and a nuclear bomb, godzilla traditionally takes the form of an oil-tanker-sized, bottom-heavy lizard with lumpy skin (though his name originally meant "gorilla-whale").

originally intended as a parable for the devastation wrought on the world by the advent of atomic weapons in the mid-20th century, and the lingering trauma felt by those who saw firsthand the dehumanization of war, nowadays he just kinda fights other big monsters and aliens and robots and so on so we can marvel at big flashy explosions. In this way he could be regarded as an inspiration on those rambo movies.

godzilla's long career can be divided into several distinct eras:
* Showa (1954-1975)
* Heisei (1984-1995)
* Millennium (1999-2004)
* And Reiwa, the attempt to bring him back to his arthouse origins. Also, the Americans tried making their own godzilla films, but they tried making their own chocolate too, and look how that turned out.

love

renzo novatore
Deception of the flesh and damage to the spirit. Disease of the soul, atrophy of the brain, weakening of the heart, corruption of the senses, poetic lies from which one gets ferociously inebriated two or three times a day in order to consume this precious but stupid life more quickly. And yet I would prefer to die of love. It's the only swindler, after Judas, that can kill with a kiss.

ubiquity

the devils dictionary
The gift or power of being in all places at one time, but not in all places at all times, which is omnipresence, an attribute of God and the luminiferous ether only. This important distinction between ubiquity and omnipresence was not clear to the mediæval Church and there was much bloodshed about it. Certain Lutherans, who affirmed the presence everywhere of Christ's body, were known as Ubiquitarians. For this error they were doubtless damned, for Christ's body is present only in the eucharist, though that sacrament may be performed in more than one place simultaneously. In recent times ubiquity has not always been understood — not even by Sir Boyle Roche, for example, who held that a man cannot be in two places at once unless he is a bird.
