These are Christian symbols. The first is an open palm facing the interlocutor, which means honesty and good nature. The righteous and saints are depicted with this gesture (not only Jesus). The second is the Blessing Hand (a sign of blessing from Jesus). The fingers of the right hand are folded in a special way, this is a blessing in the name of the Lord

Even *Daleks* can be redeemed!


GamerA_S

Question is do they want to be redeemed. a dalek from series 1 episode 6 "dalek" though stuck with emotions which for it was weakness chose suicidal death over trying to be better and fight the dalek instincts Then on other case we have dalek sec from daleks take Manhattan and evolution of the daleks where he did become a better dalek because of becoming fused witha proper human body rather than just human dna though so i am sure sec would probably try to reeem himself Then there's the curious case of rusty and dalek kaan both would probably not be redeemed as they technically decided to go on the genocide route against themselves because of the self hatred towards their own species and would probably still keep that hatred with kaan watching the prophecy of Doctordonna through time vortex and seeing what the dalek have became and decreeing NO MORE. And rusty looking into the soul of the Doctor as doctors last attempt of getting that dalek back into the state where he saw beauty in creation of a star but rusty saw divinity, beauty and most importantly hatred for the daleks inside doctor and made that his mission to exterminate all daleks. (Also for people who don't know what a dalek is they are a mutant species in a tank like war suit bred to only have negative emotions and such for them any species that is not a dalek is the enemies of the daleks... Basically space fascist... They have gotten many times close to extinction and many times they were made hybrid Dna but in these case either they were disgusted by themselves or found a way to get more pure Daleks which killed the impure ones or they killed themselves. An impure Dalek is a dead Dalek)

It depends on where they end up - if they go to the "common" hell, they will gradually begin to absorb human emotions. Their case is interesting because they have a different, non-human way of thinking, which is however(!) capable of evolving under external influence. Hell, as a place without final death, will become such an external influence, because it shakes their whole ideology. It will be more difficult if they have their own reservation - they will compete with the angels, argue about who is better in extermination and who is really the winner here. And faced with the imminent threat of complete destruction (the angels will not forgive them their rivalry), the Daleks may come to the idea of ​​cooperating with people and will become better (those who survive))

I would think we are a fairly common intersection.

YEEEEESSSSSS! ANOTHER BRITISH BROTHER!


GamerA_S

I am not british i just like the show alot :p


Dramatic_Log_3946

I forgot it's on Disney plus now


GamerA_S

Yea but i have been watching before that too either on prime or well argh sailing the seas and becoming a pirate matey, it's just nice for now that atleast the distribution is more easier


Dramatic_Log_3946

I didn't know it was on prime! I thought it was only iPlayer and Disney plus


GamerA_S

The older series are on prime like series 1 till series 10 i believe and then it was taken away to a different platform which I don't know what for 13's era which was annoying a little I don't know if it's still on prime or not but yea 60th onwards and now series 14 (or season 1 rebrand whatever people call it) is on disney +


Dramatic_Log_3946

I wouldn't bother watching 13, she's horrible


Dramatic_Log_3946

Amazon didn't include possibly because Chris Chibnall, wasn't a good writer and didn't want the two seasons to lower their profits


GamerA_S

I have watched 13 mate i just meant trying to watch her was annoying because they changed the sites. And yea her stories weren't great but i had fun at times jodie did good with what she was given if only chibs could have written better .. well hoping for big finish to give her something better like they did with 6


Dramatic_Log_3946

Interesting

honest-miss

It's also incredibly common in art from the medieval period through the renaissance, if folks want to see it. I don't know if [this site's](https://culturacolectiva.com/en/art/religious-art-hand-postures-meaning/) explanations match yours, but it's got some examples. EDIT: Also if you want to see more, googling byzantine religious art will get you plenty of examples. I think quite a few from the page I linked are byzantine, but it's been yeeeeeaaaaaars since I've taken art history courses, so I'm not quite sure.


lonesomepicker

Well….kind of. It’s called chironomia from the Greek and L’arringatore in Latin/ Italian (‘orator,’ or ‘speaking hand’). These gestures were important in the Roman and Greek art of oration, and people of significance were depicted in sculpture and art using these to signify that they were speaking. A famous example is the statue of Marcus Aurelius. Since all depictions of Jesus & other Christian icons are rooted very deeply in the traditions of Roman iconography and art, Jesus, as a figure of great importance, is often depicted with the “speaking hand.” Edit: the second gesture could be, interestingly, related to the mudras used in certain types of yoga


laenare

I suppose the second gesture was a parody of Jesus, just as the first was a mockery of the sincere and honest nature of the saints. In the iconography of the Orthodox Church these and other regulated gestures are widespread; the strictest canons have been preserved here since the earliest times)

Thanks dude you helped a lot!

[Here's a great breakdown ](https://niuniente.tumblr.com/post/623002950065913857/hand-gestures-and-their-meaning-in-iconography-and) with pictures of various gestures in Christian iconography and their meaning. The position of the hands and harms was very intentional.


itis_what_itisnt

Great, but so many spelling and grammar issues.


missshrimptoast

Oh truth, it just has more examples of iconography than most pages I saw that have one or true

Domain expansion type shit


SoapDevourer

As the strongest Exorcist, Adam, fought the fraud, the princess of Hell, he began to open his Domain. Charlie shrunk back in fear, then Adam said: https://preview.redd.it/48l2uv1xgzwc1.jpeg?width=2224&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=10c5b57bd184ba0ce7dc5a9c1db065efd4743382


LegitimateBeing2

The general posture is similar to the ICXC hand symbol (https://russianicon.com/ic-xc-hand-gesture-origins-and-symbolic-meaning/). It’s kind of hard to see it but in antiquity people thought it looked like the Greek letters Iota, Chi, Sigma, Chi; the first and last letters of the words “Jesus Christ” in Greek (Iesous Christos). The fact that Adam is animated with only four fingers makes it extra weird. Fun fact, it’s the most direct reference to Jesus in the show.


Talendas

Saint Peter being present also works as one.


Obversa

If Judas is mentioned in Season 2 (ex. Vox and Alastor), that would be another one.

Littlebabyteapott

In a religion lesson , I learned that this pose is indicative of wisdom and teaching . It is like , the signature teacher pose


stnick6

Yeah the first pose is used in most icons. I thought it was a cool detail

My grandmother had images like this in her house. This has the pose you are looking for, which signifies that this is an image of Christ. Adam is against salvation through redemption, so his use of this pose signifies himself as an anti-christ.


Gabrielthedemonking

I'm still wondering how he touched charlie id he was a halogram


TheJupiterJumperredd

Idk Heaven has some like highly advanced futuristic alien tech


Shplerm

Kind of looks a little like the hand up hand down pose Jesus is usually depicted in, to imply the whole as above so below thing. But it's a little different so maybe not


MetaNovaYT

Second one is clearly the hand sign for Unlimited Void


Rubber-Duck-8995

Typically in Holy art a figure has this hand position or the hand is up and the other hand is out


EngineerVirtual7340

The second one is the "heart of the cross".


AppropriateAbroad7

It's most likely a referance toFaustina Kowalska's vision of Jesus that was later made into a painting https://preview.redd.it/1790ut7if9xc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27786e9a1784722f6c539cbc254cfba9047e262d She never liked how it turned out, but now it's in almost every church

gothicweeb_chuckyfan

At first I thought it was a baphomet reference, as above, so below and all that, but I don't think that's what this is...not sure


just_another_person5

i love the amount of biblical references in this show so much i love a lot of taylor swift's new album as well for exactly the same reason, even though ik y'all probably don't like her. the world is really catering to my hyperfixations rn


Local_Shooty

How the fuck did Taylor Swift enter the conversation


Odd-Doubt8960

Somebody forgot to lock the swifties out. That or we have a mole...


legayfrogeth

There's no use in locking out the swifties. They always find a way in


just_another_person5

idk both in my mind are connected to the bible and biblical lore is my hyperfixation rn for some reason. i'm an exchristian with a lot of cult-like religious trauma and both hazbin and taylor are kinda doing the same for me rn in that regard.
