Sins and Virtues

[tinhuvielartanis]

On Twitter, filmkitty was wondering if she should be watching 'The Grapes of Wrath,' so I suggested other fruits that might bring her more joy. It got out of hand after I suggested the Melons of Lust thanks, of course, to gunslingaaahhh . So, without further ado, I present the Seven Deadly Sins as portrayed by Fruit and the Seven Heavenly Virtues as portrayed by Vegetables. We shall then mix it up a little with sinful junk food and heavenly whole grains.

The Rutabagas of Prudence

i died.

ps: STOP ASSOCIATING ME WITH THINGS GETTING OUT OF HAND. WHEN HAS THAT EVER HAPPENED?!

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

All the time in Tinland!

[gunslingaaahhh.livejournal.com]

stop getting me in ~trouble~

Melons of lust. That's pretty good. But have you ever seen Night on Earth? I nominate the pumpkin for that role. Come to think of it, there are probably a dozen fruits that go with lust. Lust is that kind of set up.

The Potatoes of Faith But isn't faith blind?

True, but with Faith, you see with a different set of eyes.

1. The Dom Perignon of Pride
2. The Cabernet of Envy
3. The Budweiser of Gluttony
4. The Margarita of Lust
5. The MD 20/20 of Wrath
6. The martini of Avarice
7. The Ripple of Sloth

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I don't know - tangerines seem like an awfully small fruit to associate with gluttony....

Howsabout Grapefruit of Gluttony? (Sorry, I'm a sucker for alliteration.)

And, I now wish to wield an Onion of Justice!

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

There's always the chance to wield an onion of justice, unless the onion triggers migraines, like it does in me. I can only wield the dried onion of kangaroo court.

Pineapples of Avarice is definitely my favorite. LOLOLOLOL

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

It's so very....Hawaiian.

[perfection-4him.livejournal.com]

lmao yes...but how about Pomegranits of lust?
In association with the greek myth about the godess Persephone fslling in love with Hades after he kidnaps her and then she eats the pomegranite seeds and for every seed she eats she has to spend one month in the underworld with him...her mother is the godess in charge of the deasons and she hates hades...hence why we have summer, and winter :)
I love that story!

I know it well, being one of my favourite tales. Any Descent of the Goddess story and I'm right there.

Deadly sins...

Just struck me, the relation between drugs and the seven deadly sins...

1. The Cocaine of Pride
2. The Amphetamine of Envy
3. The Marijuana of Gluttony
4. The Crystal Meth of Lust
5. The Angel Dust of Wrath
6. The Heroine of Avarice
7. The Opium of Sloth

"Listen kids, don't do drugs, m-kay?"

Re: Deadly sins...

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

Opium of sloth is definitely my favourite.

WIN, MADAM.
though to be honest I'm shocked that you included popsicles but didn't make them the lust option. Shocked, I say!

[tinhuviel.livejournal.com]

I was tempted, verily, but I don't know of anyone who doesn't lust for a good pizza.

[perfection-4him.livejournal.com]

idk 'bout you but I lust for fresh fruit & veg
(vegetarian) indian cuisine
chocolate chip cookies
and lemon cake!! Mmmmm...

Well, since *none* of the wheat-based products you mention were whole grain, I couldn't resist having a go:

The Barley of Pride
The Wild Rice of Envy
The Millet of Gluttony
The Pumpernickel of Lust
The Cheerios of Wrath
The Wheat Germ of Avarice
The Oats of Sloth

Well, I was using a bit of artistic license, I do admit, but I can always depend on any one of my more intelligent friends to point out my numerous shortcomings. Lovely list. I'm rather fond of the Cheerio of wrath.
