#(16) heaven knows by five for fighting

[tactical-mode]

I made Eps 8 and 9 at the same time, out of a mosaic of scenes that occur across 2 Chapters (~5 hours) of Remake. Down to 10 minutes! I’m in there re-angling the camera because sometimes there’s daylight outside lol. I did more color correcting than ever, and I’m getting a little better I think!

[Chapter 3] Scene 1-5: Sector 7 Slums Here we see more NPCs altered by the ���Train NPCs” mod by FantasyRaiderr. I use a low angle shot to try and evoke the iconic Pillar introduction scene from the OG. The music is On That Day, Five Years Ago from EC.

[Chapter 3] Scene 6-7: Seventh Heaven The music here is Tifa’s Theme from EC. There's a new mod, too: "Tifa Fitness" by VargrNekrodes.

The shots of Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie at the table are from a later scene in Remake’s Chapter 3 (Scene 26). You can see a continuity error in some of the shots (an empty hi-top in the background). I try to use the camera when I can to imply that there are two hi-tops, one empty, one with AVALANCHE. Let me know what you noticed!

Scene 8: Barret and Marlene All the shots of Barret walking here he is doing so while holding Marlene -- even when he's outside of the bar! I had to film around her, erasing her with **movie magic.** Barret and the pinball machine is actually from much further scenes in 7R (23/26).

An added line of dialogue (“See you down there, Cloud!”) helps with the illusion that Biggs and Wedge are using the pinball machine as well, but in 7R they never do.

Scene 23: Tifa and Cloud Jumping ahead in the chapter, there were a few shots in this exchange which are from (Scene 18, part of Remake’s extended content). Continuity errors include a randomized number of drinks in front of Cloud, between 0-2. Coverage for that final exchange was done using the worldstate in Scene 7, and since Cloud never uses the pinball machine in Remake, I cheated with a vertical pan.

Scene ???: The Secret Hideout!!! This scene couldn’t be filmed the way I would have liked, because the basement wasn't actually made in Remake. My options were to hand-animate it, or pan the camera across the scenery like it's Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Tifa’s blocking here is taken from Scenes 8 and 23, and the shots with a dynamic FOV were filmed using the camera for Scene 26.

The music here is a musical cue that plays in 7R when you approach Sector 7, I put it through some filters and applied a record crackle underneath, to make it seem diagetic, like it’s playing out of the jukebox or the radio.

On to Episode 009...

[Chapter 03] Scene 25 I loved this blocking from Remake - the bartender wordlessly downs a whole drink, then pours herself another, all in a tense silence. Great start to a dramatic argument.

If you rewatch this scene after learning the mystery behind Final Fantasy VII’s story, you may notice hidden tones and meanings. To facilitate all the foreshadowing here, I slowed the pace down.

[Chapter 04] Scene 16: The Promise In Remake, this flashback occurs during an expanded quest. I’ll leave 7R to be enjoyed in its proper context. Here, as in OG, the flashback serves as the climax of Cloud and Tifa’s fight, prompting his sudden change of heart. I’m using Remake’s Tifa’s Theme variation, where the piano takes the lead and the flute/oboe play around it. Gorgeous.

Otherwise, little is changed - I often used 7R's translation over OG's!

[Chapter 3] Scene 26: Cloud Gets Paid The usual reshoots, masking sunlight in the background. Coverage from scenes 7 and 8, and Tifa’s blocking behind the bar comes from scenes 18 and 23.

Final Thoughts These two episodes took weeks of constant toil. At times I wanted to give up or move to another project, but I powered through and I’m proud of myself! I dream that these episodes could be better, but I’m not the person who can do that. Yet. So I’m moving ahead towards the next episodes, which will be much more simple and fun to edit.

After completing the “pilot” (Episodes 1-7) I started planning out the rest of “Season 1” aka the part of FFVII’s story that can be produced using Remake. At this time it’s a planned 45 episodes, which means we are 1/5 of the way through! I’ve completed the preliminary filming for the whole season, and while the last ten episodes present several unique challenges, I am going to push to have the season completed by the end of 2025. Then I can look at remaking episodes using what I’ll have learned, or moving on to Season 2.

Hazbin Hotel Rewrite Outline

Ok, I think it's I actually do something about the multi paged document in my Google Drive: I think its time to show you a (very early draft) of how I would rewrite Hazbin Hotel of I was given only the confirmation of four seasons with five and six up in the air. Again this is a very early draft of this and a lot has changed in the full on Six season rewrite, and there's some details missing since I was saving that for the character descriptions, but since that's taking me so long I may as well just post the outline I have in my Google Doc, since having it out there might help my motivation to get the characters done. So hope you enjoy this very rough outline!

NOTE: I just wanted to put this here before everything starts: VALENTINO IS NO LONGER A R*PIST, I just feel like making him one just makes it uncomfortable when fans and staff members like him, I'm not saying it's bad to like him as long as you don't like his actions or him as a person. I'm just saying you just feel guilty for liking him when he's done something so Horrid, so I'm removing that and making Angel's abuser a previous friend who he killed years ago. Also Religious critique (more specifically of Christianity) will be present, not much in this exact outline but more in future more refined versions of this project, I'm not Religious however I have heard stories about people's trauma with Christianity, and I thought it would be fun to explore.

Also put feedback/critique in the comments I’d love to hear it!

Anyway, here we go:

Premise:

An angel attempts to redeem a 1940s mafia drag queen and a 1880s inventor to prove redemption is possible to stop the exterminations for good, with the help of a 1910s scientist turned bartender, a 1950s housewife, and a 1950s TV host, maybe they’ll be able to prove the first man and leader of the extermination Adam wrong.

Length:

Part 1 (Season 1 and 2): 16 episodes (8 each)

Part 2 (Season 3 and 4): 16 episodes (8 each)

Part 3 (Season 5 and 6): 16 episodes (8 each) 

Outline: 

Season 1.

The Pilot would be a half-episodic/half-character episode where we follow ‘Sir Pentious’ and his struggle with his Bisexuality and him trying (and failing) to prove how ‘straight’ he is (I know it's cringe but trust me I’d write it better hopefully), shenanigans insure. Afterwards ‘Sir Pentious’ would have a heart to heart with ‘Emily’/‘Angel Dust’ about his trauma of being Bisexual in a time that discriminated against Homosexuality/Bisexuality and ‘Emily’/‘Angel Dust’ would assure him that being LGBTQIA+ doesn’t get you into Hell, and that they’ll help him redeem himself.

‘Emily’ would be in the same position as St Peter was in the original show, welcoming ‘Winners’ into Heaven and discussing their lives. However, she then  learns about the exterminations and makes it her mission to redeem the redeemable Sinners in Hell.

She speaks to and convinces Lucifer to give her a rundown hotel and a meeting with Satan. After some cleaning up, she recruits ‘Angel Dust’ to be redeemed at the Hotel.

‘Emily’ is able to get an interview with ‘Katie Killjoy’ and ‘Tom Trench’, therefore she leaves ‘Angel Dust’ at the Hotel. In the interview she pitches the Hotel, saying that while there are a lot of Sinners/Contractors who don’t deserve Redemption, there are some Sinners/Contractors who don’t deserve Hell’s Suffering, but it is then followed by a broadcast of ‘Angel Dust’ and his mother protecting their territory, interrupted by Arackniss. After the meeting, ‘Vox’ comes to the Hotel to invest and help ‘Emily’ with her mission and hires ‘Baxter’ and ‘Niffty’ to be staff for the Hotel.

We would get introduced to ‘Cherri Bomb’ and her friendship with ‘Angel Dust’, we get a battle scene of them fighting an Inventor called ‘Sir Pentious’. ‘Emily’ then invites him into the Hotel. The rest of the episode would focus on ‘Sir Pentious’ and setting up his character and development.

The next few episodes will be fun episodic adventures that will introduce ‘Val’, ‘Alastor’ and ‘Velvette’, and will also introduce concepts such as ‘Vox’’s and ‘Alastor’’s rivalry, ‘Val’ and ‘Angel’’s dynamic (because ‘Val’ is no longer a R*pist), ‘Cherri Bomb’’s guilt with not being able to do anything to stop ‘Angel’’s abuser, ‘Velvette’’s spellbook, Respawning, Angelic weapons, Reincarnation, Hellish Curses/Punishments, and probably more. Also tackles bigotry and how it negatively affects people (Lol no this would be in a hypothetical pilot).

It’s revealed that ‘Vox’’s curse is that he has amnesia about his life on earth. When ‘Emily’ asks how they are going to redeem him, ‘Vox’ says that he’s not here to be redeemed, only to invest. Afterwards, ‘Baxter’ has a conversation with ‘Vox’ about the fact that ‘Vox’ didn’t tell ‘Baxter’ about his (‘Vox’) amnesia despite him being the one that people tell their secrets to. ‘Vox’ just tells him that he doesn’t own his secrets, making ‘Baxter’ cower a bit and rethink.

Season 1 would end with ‘Emily’ meeting Satan in Purgatory, and she asks what got the Hotel Patrons into Hell (since only Satan knows what gets someone into Heaven or Hell). Satan explains that ‘Sir Pentious’ was filled with Envy for others around him and destroyed the lives of the rich inventors in the name of helping poor inventors, ‘Angel Dust’ was in the Mafia and he sold his soul to the OG Asmodeus, ‘Baxter’ killed people with his experiments, ‘Vox’ went to Hell because of his deadly and abnormal Obsession with the people around him, and Satan reveals that he actually sent ‘Niffty’ to Heaven. With this information, ‘Emily’ theories that if a Sinner is able to confront and repent their sins, they will be able to go into Heaven.

Season 2.

This Season would focus on ‘Angel Dust’ and ‘Sir Pentious’ and the start of their development, also it would set up everyone’s problems and development.

Explores ‘Angel’’s mafia background, life, and the fact that he sold his soul to the OG Asmodeus so he wouldn’t get cursed in Hell.

Angel’s trauma relating to the abuser he killed 5 years ago, and the fact that ‘Val’ neglected his responsibilities as the ‘Overlord’ of Lust. Something ‘Val’ is trying to improve on.

‘Sir Pentious’ is revealed to be a ‘WereSerpent’ which is why he wasn’t at the Hotel most nights. However, ‘Baxter’ reveals that it’s actually his true demon form and concludes that his Hellish Curse is that he can’t control his true demon form, and it could take him over completely if he’s not careful, like his envy. It’s implied that his extreme growth in his envy and true demon form’s uncontrollability might be connected to his rivalry with ‘Cherri Bomb’.

‘Baxter’ reveals that he used to be a ‘mad’ scientist who experimented and tortured people, who quit being a scientist to bartender in Hell since he felt guilty about what he did on earth, also it would be revealed that he’s a trans male and died by drowning on the Titanic (because it’s a neet Baxter theory).

We would get to see ‘Niffty’’s backstory. Her being a depressed housewife, being sexualised by her husband, and her accidentally killing her husband in self defence, and being shot in the head by the Police. 

‘Cherri Bomb’ comes to the Hotel to take ‘Angel Dust’ and the others (except for ‘Sir Pentious’) for a night out after a stressful time with his family. ‘Emily’, God and Adam meet together in Heaven to discuss the progress. ‘Emily’ says that the Hotel residents are doing great, only for Heaven to eavesdrop on the residents and get shown a fight between ‘Sir Pentious’’ true demon form and the rest of the gang, since ‘Cherri Bomb’ convinced ‘Angel Dust’ that they could take on the ‘Rouge Demon’ (since ‘Sir Pentious’ Curse makes it so no one can recognise him until they either see him transform into the demon form or see him transform out of the demon form). After the battle, Adam and ‘Emily’ get into an argument about if there’s a difference between ‘redeemable’ and ‘irredeemable’ sinners, with Adam trying to justify his actions in the exterminations, ‘Emily’ will also bring up how the people she’s trying to help were people who were marginalised people in life, how they wouldn’t have committed the Sins they did if society wasn’t so discriminatory (though that would justify their actions it just explains them), and how people on Earth have been doing horrible things in their name. God brings the meeting to a close, being distressed by the conversation (he would be an omnibenevolent God who hates how people use his name to do terrible things like Bigotry), and tells ‘Emily’ if she’s able to redeem a Sinner by the next extermination, he’ll order Adam to end the exterminations for good. 

After the meeting, everyone (including ‘Sir Pentious’, ‘Emily’ and ‘Cherri Bomb’) is walking back to the hotel. ‘Sir Pentious’ tries to apologise and wishes he could control and stop his true demon form, but ‘Niffty’ blows up at him and calls out the fact he’s done nothing about his problems and has done nothing to improve himself at the Hotel. ‘Angel Dust’ tries to defend him from ‘Niffty’, but she ends up calling him out for also not improving much at the Hotel and doing nothing about his own familial problems, and the fact he could have left the Mafia like his sister but he didn’t and just wallowed in his troubles (that doesn’t count his trauma from his abuser since that wasn’t his fault and it would be f*cked up to make him ‘get over it’ instead of letting him heal naturally from it). ‘Niffty’ then says to them that if they actually care about improving and redeeming themselves, they should start actually doing it. ‘Niffty’ finally says to ‘Cherri Bomb’ if she actually cares about ‘Angel Dust’, she would actually help him improve instead of roping him into situations that nearly get him killed. ‘Emily’ confronts ‘Niffty’ about it and tells her that you can’t just tell people to start changing, you have to understand why they haven’t changed and why they have and wallow in their problems.

The next episode would open with ‘Sir Pentious’ and ‘Angel Dust’ in the Sloth Library looking for books. ‘Angel Dust’ laments about how ‘Niffty’ was right about them not actually improving themselves and not confronting their problems. ‘Sir Pentious’ questions if he could actually change himself and worries about the fact it might be too late for him to change since his true demon form has taken over his life so much, and questions if he should just give up. ‘Angel Dust’ refutes him by saying he’s not too far gone yet, and he still has time, and encourages him to continue, which ‘Sir Pentious’ agrees to. Meanwhile, ‘Velvette’ is able to make a potion that is able to get rid of a Hellish Curse that can only be made every 100 years. However, instead of using it on himself, ‘Alastor’ plans to use it on ‘Vox’ because his morbid curiosity about ‘Vox’’s past life has turned him insane. He succeeds and the episode would end with the TV’s in Hell turning as they begin to display his past life.

Season 2 would end by showing ‘Vox’’s past life, his traumatic childhood in a cult, his job as a TV host’s assistant with his superior stealing credit from him, him being quite obsessive with the people around, and ‘Vox’ being killed by a falling TV falling on his head in front of a crowd, hence the amnesia. At first ‘Alastor’ is thrilled to finally have the answers about his rival’s past life, however, seeing ‘Vox’’s distraught face, he starts to regret it, but before ‘Alastor’ can apologise ‘Vox’ disappears. The Season would end with a news broadcast that the extermination will be happening in 3 months. Which leaves everyone shocked.

Season 3 and 4.

‘Angel Dust’ and ‘Sir Pentious’’ development would speed up quite a bit.

‘Angel Dust’ confronts his past with the mafia and his crime family. We will be shown flashbacks of his life and a scene where ‘Molly’ leaves the crime family in life due to wanting to live an honest life. ‘Angel Dust’ would resolve these issues in the Season 4 Finale.

‘Sir Pentious’ confronts his envy for ‘Cherri Bomb’’s power, and tries to control his true demon form. This would complete itself in the Season 4 Finale. 

‘Cherri Bomb’ shares her backstory of being in a traditional household, running from home when they found out she was a Lesbian, becoming a punk rebel arsonist, selling her soul to the OG Moloch, and blowing herself up with fireworks, killing her. She would also be able to let go of her guilt of not being able to stop 'Angel Dust''s abuser.

We would see throughout Season 3 and 4 ‘Vox’ having nightmares and suffering an identity crisis with ‘being a fraud’ and not even knowing it. ‘Baxter’ and ‘Emily’ would comfort him about it and he would be able to be in a Season 4 Finale.

In the Finale of Season 3, ‘Val’ would get stuck in ‘Angel’’s mind. He then witnesses ‘Angel’’s abuser metaphorically Assaulting him. This would completely warp ‘Val’’s perspective on the situation.

Also in the Season 3 Finale, ‘Velvette’ finally out how to make Angelic steel that could permanently kill an angel with ‘Niffty’’s blood, and the recipe to make it, and it’s revealed that ‘Niffty’ is an ex-angel-executioner.

We get to see ‘Val’’s backstory of being emotionally neglected, selling his soul to the OG Asmodeus so he can be as Pan as he wants and do as many drugs as he wants, and how he dies of a drug overdose. He apologises to ‘Angel’ for not understanding and not being there sooner, and rips up ‘Angel’’s contract afterwards. (Note here: I'd try and make 'Val' a commentary on the Cycle of Abuse, but I toned it down into just neglect/neglecting of responsibilities).

‘Baxter’ would go through a small arc where he realises that he doesn’t own anyone’s secrets and people want to keep some secrets to themselves. (maybe this will be scrapped IDK).

‘Velvette’ reveals her discovery of angelic steel that can permanently kill an Angel. She also reveals that ‘Niffty’ was an exorcist Angel.

We finds out that ‘Niffty’ became a fallen Angel when she questioned Adam’s view on sinners and actions and Adam sent her down to Hell by accident. At first ‘Emily’ would be mad at the fact she didn’t tell her, but would forgive her quickly. (this may be out of character for ‘Emily’ so this also might be scrapped).

At the end of Season 4, the cast would defend Hell from the extermination and Adam would lose and be forced to retreat. After the battle, ‘Sir Pentious’ and ‘Angel Dust’ would be redeemed and allowed into Heaven, proving that redemption is possible to ‘Emily’ and Heaven.

Season 5 and 6.

These would be clean up seasons, it would complete ‘Baxter’ and ‘Vox’’s character arcs. Show ‘Sir Pentious’ and ‘Angel Dust’ afterlives in Heaven, and Adam’s redemption arc. Also, it would complete ‘SirDust’ as a relationship (because yes it would’ve been trying to happen I was just focused on other things and Yes I ship ‘SirDust’ it’s better than ‘HuskerDust’ because both ‘Sir Pentious’ and ‘Angel Dust’ would have masks to hide their true selves and traumas and they could help each other with that).

‘Emily’ would help ‘Baxter’ confront his past as a ‘mad’ scientist.

‘Vox’ would learn to let go of his feelings for ‘Alastor’ and move on.

Adam would reassess his views on sinners and we’d see his backstory of being let into Heaven and redeeming himself, as a result feeling guilt and regret for how behaved on Earth. Also he would see his two sons kill each other in an extermination. As a result he gained a hatred for Sinners and would always try to justify his actions against Sinners.

Season 5 would end with seeing ‘Sir Pentious’ and ‘Angel Dust’’s afterlives in Heaven, and would end with them confessing their feelings to each other and finally kissing.

Season 6 will end with ‘Alastor’ going insane and the gang has to fight him. ‘Alastor’ and ‘Vox’ reconcile with each other and ‘Baxter’ finally overcomes his past, and they’re able to redeem themselves and go to Heaven. Afterwards, Adam apologises to ‘Emily’ and has learned some Sinners can be redeemed, ‘Emily’ forgives him, they hug. THE END.

The Outline is Finally out! Again, there's a lot of things missing or different now. In the current Six Seasons version I completely changed Sir Pentious' curse, I'll be making Niffty a Sinner again and give the Angel reveal to someone else since I realised none of the Women get redeemed which I didn't intend it just happened and I want to fix it, I might make Cherri Bomb and Patron and make Vox the more distant one (since in my brain storming Cherri Bomb is a lot more fun to write than Vox), I will swap Adam with Eve, since she could open up a lot of interesting story potential since she was the one who gave humanity free will and went through pain to keep the human race going, so it could make an interesting dynamic, and also might be giving Angel's trauma to Val since Angel's could focus on the mafia thing and maybe learning to truly understand people, there wouldn't be a fear of victim blaming Angel for something that wasn't his fault, and I wouldn't feel bad for sexualising Angel since he wouldn't be a abuse survivor anymore.

Edit: there would also be a lot more scenes of the characters lives on earth and explaining why they got into Hell, I just didn’t put a lot them in this outline.

There's probably more but I'll put edits in if it comes to mind, but I need to go to bed now. Hope you enjoy this while I get the character descriptions/rambles done.

Chén Qíng Lìng/The Untamed - 1.50 Episode 50

The mastermind who plans everything has appeared. He's not someone who wouldn't think he would be the one who is behind everything, including Wei Wuxian's comeback. Who would that be?

I nominate this final on grounds of CCP information control, censorship and homophobia. They were so scared of the power of wangxian that they ended up banning ao3 in china and in the show they have to inexplicably have them part ways just to hammer home the no-homo. Plus the show is just kind of objectively bad.... but it rewires your brain all the same

Supernatural - 15.20 Carry On

cw: suicide

After Chuck is defeated and someone takes his place, Sam and Dean go about their life of hunting, but things don't turn out as expected.

1) you know why 2) god. where do i fucking start. this episode completely ignores this large cast of characters that were considered family in order to make it the "just two brothers" show again, scrapping basically every shred of character development shown throughout the course of the show, cutting out incredibly important characters at the last second (i.e. eileen being replaced with blurry wife for no fucking reason, cas not being there at all despite the whole love confession/ dying for dean that happened just two episodes before). in the penultimate episode the boys fight god. the finale? a random vampire from an episode of season one, who up until this point had never been mentioned again. then we have Dean being impaled on a very phallic looking spike and, after a speech about it just being about the brothers, dies. he then goes to heaven, where his father figure tells him his abusive dad is just down the road. he hops in his car (also in heaven, somehow) and drives for the next 60 odd years waiting for Sam to die. meanwhile, sam is moving on with blurry wife and i shown with a son named dean (as seen stitched onto his clothes), and we eventually see sam, now old and clad in the crustiest looking wig i have ever seen, die in the hospital. he goes to heaven, meets Dean on a bridge, and the last shot is the entire cast and crew on the bridge saying goodbye, completely shattering the fourth wall because fuck it, who cares anymore. and this isn't even mentioning everything that happened after. just an absolute mess the whole way through. 3) Random villain from season 1 kills one of the main characters, he goes to heaven and drives around while the other main character gets a montage of growing old a horrible wig. And that's not even all. 4) It abandoned 15 years of series theme and character growth, veered away from the natural story line and failed to resolve major plot threads. Dean deserved better, and so did Cas. See also Jared's terrible wig, Dean jr, Dean driving through heaven for five minutes... 5) Dean dies in the most anticlimactic way, cheap wig, blurry wife 6) There was no Castel :( 7) I mean... 8) destroyed every character arc in one fell swoop. the guy who tried to kill himself and struggled with depression throughout the show ended up killing himself anyway! was cas’s death even important? who was blurry wife? why was the absolute ugliest toddler imaginable cast to play Sam’s son? but in order to truly grasp how decimating this finale was, you have to understand the queerbaiting between 15.18 and the finale. why did Misha post that pic in the onion field with Uriel. why was Misha originally credited to be in 19 episodes of the final season on IMDb. why was . Hrrgghh. 9) Do I even need to write propaganda for this one? Even though it was the series finale we are still here after 3 years 😂 Title said 'carry on', but the fandom said 'nah, time for season 16'. 10) Bad old man makeup and no castiel 11) Everything had been neatly wrapped up in the previous episode. Then they decided "Hey you know what would be great? If we just killed one of the main characters." They killed him for no reason. He deserved to live a full life, have a family, retire, but nope! He met his match in a RUSTY NAIL. Not to mention that there were terrible wigs, blurry wives, and subtextual incest vibes involved.

+ After it aired, one of the actors unfollowed everyone who had anything to do with the episode.

** SAY THIS BEFORE YOU READ; HERE’S SOME CHRISTIAN TRUTHS **

I AM TENDERHEARTED

I AM LOVING 

I AM KIND 

I AM BLESSED 

======================

READ TIME: 6 Minutes & 47 Seconds

======================

THOUGHTS:

======================

    If you're wondering how Jesus lived his life, it was with love, respect, honor, and authority.  Many of us wonder who we are in Christ and how to learn to have Christ's mindset. We do this by listening to him when he speaks and reading our word in the word. It will tell us how to live like him; we miss the big picture when we don’t read our word. How can we say we are his if we aren’t going to read our word? The Bible tells us exactly how God wants us to live our lives and how to please him, and some of us still don’t do it. We know the word says it’s a sin to know the truth and not to walk in or live in it. 

  1 Peter 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow his steps.

  Christ gave us an example of how to live our lives and how to respond to others. He had so many people call him by his name, so many people mistreated him and tried to harm him, but he still treated them with love. That’s one example. Another example is that he showed us how to love people regardless of what they have or don’t have. He healed the sick and fed the needy with what he had because he wanted to show us how to care for others.

*   Matthew 14:14 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

* Matthew 14:19, and he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.

* Luke 11:15-16 but some said, “No wonder he can cast out demons. He gets his power from Satan, the prince of demons.” 16 Others, trying to test Jesus, demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.

 Verse 17-18 he knew their thoughts, so he said, “Any kingdom divided by civil war is doomed. A family splintered by feuding will fall apart. 18 You say I am empowered by Satan. But if Satan is divided and fighting against himself, how can his kingdom survive? 

  See, Jesus showed compassion towards people of all walks of life. He healed whoever needed healing, and most of all, when someone tried to test him, he didn’t get angry. He spoke back with style and authority. When we get angry, we often start speaking in anger, and we get into the flesh. Jesus never stopped being in the spirit; he walked continually in the spirit. 

  We must remain in the spirit at all times and not allow what we feel to take over or take control over us; that’s what he wants us to know: walk and live as I did; I lived in peace with every person and how many of us can say we get along with everyone how many of us can say we don’t fuss and argue with everyone, some of us are argumentative, and all we want to do is fuss, but we must ask God to take away this type of spirit, this Spirit is not good to have in our life we can say we love God but to carry this type of spirit that wants to fuss and argue all the time isn’t the best spirit to carry. 

   Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

  The Bible says to be tenderhearted; what is tenderhearted? Webster's dictionary says, “easily moved to love. Loving. Feeling or showing love and affection.”

   When someone is tenderhearted, they want to love more before anything; they are willing to show affection, and a lot of people in today's society are not willing to show love because if they aren’t shown it, they don’t want to do it and that's not the way to be, we spend half our life-giving people what they give us but what about us, do we show love to everyone regardless.

  I went to Verizon  the other day, and every time I asked for someone to help me, they would take in a deep breathe They weren’t kind, and I overlooked them and didn’t give them back what they gave me because I knew if I did that I am not showing the love of God, I kept being tenderhearted, and the more I did this they soften up some people are use to people being one way, and they give that type of spirit immediately back to anyone but doesn’t mean we have to do this, but we must be people that show love regardless and be tenderhearted at every given opportunity 

  ***Today, we learned that being tendered hearted is being loving , and a lot of times, a lot of people don’t know what love is or how to express it; Christ gives us the perfect example of how to show it and we learn from his example, we don’t allow this world to taint our ways and life.

   1 John 3:17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him

   It tells us here we can't let our hearts close against other people because if we do, we are not allowing God's love to abide in us; how do we show that his love abides in us by loving one another. We must also pray for one another, as the Bible tells us to do this. If you don’t show any love, ask God to soften your heart so you can love one another. ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee

PRAYER

=====================

Heavenly Father, we thank you for today. We ask you to forgive us of the sins we have done, lord help us to hear your voice when you speak, lord we love you, and we ask you to be with us; lord, cover us with your blood, lord, today if we have a hardened uncompassionate  heart, please show us so that we may change, lord, please show us where we have gone wrong, lord soften our heart, help us to love as freely as you do in Jesus Name Amen

Everytime We Touch

Written By: Stuart MacKillop, Peter Risavy & Maggie Reilly

Artist: Cascada

Released: 2005

The hit single by Eurodance group Cascada, “Everytime We Touch” was released in the United States on August 16, 2005, reaching number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remaining on the charts for twenty-five weeks in territories around the world. It was also certified platinum in the US. It was written, composed, and produced by the band's DJs, Manian and Yanou; however, the only writing/composing credits were given to Maggie Reilly, Stuart Mackilliop, and Peter Risavy, as the song borrows its chorus from Maggie Reilly’s 1992 single of the same name.

[Verse 1] I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me I still feel your touch in my dream (In my dream) Forgive me, my weakness, but I don't know why Without you, it's hard to survive [Chorus] 'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last Need you by my side 'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so? I can't let you go Want you in my life [Instrumental Post-Chorus] [Verse 2] Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky They wipe away tears that I cry (That I cry) The good and the bad times, we've been through them all You make me rise when I fall [Chorus] 'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last Need you by my side 'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static And every time we kiss, I reach for the sky Can't you hear my heart beat so? I can't let you go Want you in my life [Instrumental Post-Chorus] [Outro] 'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling And every time we kiss, I swear I could fly Can't you feel my heart beat fast? I want this to last Need you by my side

Iris

Written By: John Rzeznik

Artist: The Goo Goo Dolls

Released: 1998

“Iris” was written for the 1998 film City of Angels starring Nicolas Cage. John Rzeznik explained: “When I wrote it, I was thinking about the situation of the Nicolas Cage character in the movie. This guy is completely willing to give up his own immortality, just to be able to feel something very human. And I think, ‘Wow! What an amazing thing it must be like to love someone so much that you give up everything to be with them.’ That’s a pretty heavy thought.” “Iris” eventually became one of the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest and most recognizable hits, eclipsing the movie it was written for.

[Verse 1] And I'd give up forever to touch you 'Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't wanna go home right now [Verse 2] And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life And sooner or later, it's over I just don't wanna miss you tonight [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Instrumental] [Verse 3] And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Chorus] And I don't want the world to see me 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am [Outro] I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am

Devotional Hours Within the Bible

by J.R. Miller

God's Covenant with David (2 Samuel 7:1-16)

The ark was in its place, and the worship of the Lord had begun. David had prospered greatly. He was living now in a palace of cedar. One day the king was sitting in his beautiful home, enjoying its comforts and luxuries, when suddenly he thought of God’s House on the hill. David was startled when he thought of the contrast between his own fine palace and the weather-beaten tent which was the home of the ark.

Nathan, the prophet, came in, and David told him that he was going to build a palace for God. Nathan himself approved the king’s thought. “Go, do all that is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.” But that night Nathan was bidden to tell David that he should not build a house for God. There are several things to be noticed in this incident.

One is that the Lord does not reprove David for his desire to build a temple for Him. It was an honorable desire. We should not make our own houses beautiful and luxurious and then let our churches be cheap and dilapidated. Five hundred years later the Lord rebuked the people through the prophet Haggai for living in fine houses and letting His House lie waste.

Elsewhere we learn that God said distinctly to David concerning his desire: “Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.” God approves of good intentions, even when He does not permit us to carry them out. This ought to be a cheering and encouraging thought to those whose plans God interrupts and sets aside. He is satisfied sometimes with the intention. If we are desirous of doing for God some service which, however good, it is not His will that we should do He is pleased with our wish to honor and serve Him, though He declines the offer. We are better, too, for the desire. Every lofty wish lifts us nearer to heaven for the time.

There are other important suggestions in the refusal of the Lord to have David build the temple. One is that everyone has his own particular and definite part to do in the Lord’s work. David was not to build the temple that was Solomon’s mission; but David had other things to do which were equally important. He had to fight the battles of the nation and subdue the strongholds. Then, he had another work to do far greater than the building of the temple. Part of his mission was to be a hymn - writer for the Old Testament Church. The influence of his songs in all ages, has been most wonderful, and is going on yet, extending and deepening wherever the Bible goes. His mission was great enough, though he was not permitted to erect the temple. Solomon built the temple but he never could have written David’s Psalms. To every man his work .

There are things you cannot do. You have no skill for them. You see some other one do these things brilliantly, and you are grieved because you cannot do them. But they are not part of your work. There are certain things which you can do better than any other person in the world could do them. We need not vex ourselves because we cannot do everything. It never was God’s intention that we should be able to carry the whole range of tasks and duties. David could write the Twenty-third Psalm and Solomon could build a splendid temple.

Another thought here, is that it is the part of some to plan and prepare, while others carry out the plans and complete the work. The temple was born in David’s heart; it was one of his thoughts. Then he made costly preparations for it. He bought the site for the great building. He gathered gold and silver in vast abundance and stored them away for the work. Solomon, when he came, had little to do but to build the house; the materials were ready to his hand. Thus David’s part in the temple was, after all, very large.

We are apt to undervalue preparatory work. It is like the foundation of a house. It is buried away, and no one sees it nor admires it. Yet we know that there can be no house for men to admire and praise unless there is first a foundation strong and secure, laid deep in the earth and covered up. It is the part of many people, to do only preparatory work. Others complete the building and get the glory, while the foundation builders are forgotten. The same thing goes on continually. One sows and another reaps. One man gathers a church, another organises and builds it up. To each one his work. We should learn to be content with our own particular work, that which has been allotted to us, and not vex ourselves because we cannot have given to us the work of some other.

It is interesting to think of the kind of temples God really wants us to prepare for Him. He has never blamed us for not building houses of cedar for Him to live in. He does not care for houses of wood, even the finest. He dwells in heaven’s glory, and no earthly building can ever be worthy of Him. It is right to erect churches in which we may assemble for God’s worship but God does not really dwell in these. He meets with His people there, when they gather to call upon His name but He does not live in any earthly structure whether the plain meeting-house, or splendid cathedral. “This is what the LORD says: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me?”

God tells us that He has two homes one in heaven and the other in certain people’s hearts. “For this is what the high and lofty One says he who lives forever, whose name is holy: I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.” We need not trouble ourselves to build houses of cedar for God but we ought to make our hearts such places as He will choose for His abode.

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: I took you from the pasture and from following the flock to be ruler over my people Israel.” God reminds David of His thought and care for him through all his days. Our lives are plans of God. It will be interesting to the boys to remember that God thought about David when he was only a boy, that He chose him to be king of Israel when he was only a shepherd lad. God is always watching the boys in their work and in their play, looking among them for men to fill important places in life. If a boy would be called to one of God’s high stations and entrusted with a great mission when he is older, he must begin well and be diligent when he is young.

God saw in David, out there in the fields, abilities and habits which he knew would make him a good king when the throne was ready for him. If David had been indolent, negligent, self-indulgent, unfaithful or unkind as a shepherd, he would never have been chosen to be the king of God’s people. A boy who was not a good shepherd would not make a good king. The boy who is a good cash boy or office boy or messenger, or who shows promptness, good sense and fidelity on a farm, in a store, or in lowly duties anywhere else God will put down for something greater by-and-by. God’s eye is ever upon us to discover whether He may entrust some great task to us.

God is always an encourager. He speaks to David now as if He knows his disappointment in not being permitted to build a temple, and He gives him cheer. David would not build a house for God but God would build a house for him. This would be a greater honor than the building of a temple would have been. He would be the founder of a line of kings which would have no end. His throne would be established forever. David did not understand it it was too glorious to be understood then but the Divine promise included the Messiah and all the glorious blessings which have come from the Messiah Christianity and all its wonderful triumphs.

We ask for some common earthly thing. God does not give it to us but he says: “You shall have this in place of it.” Then He gives us a spiritual favor, which includes all heaven’s glories! We may safely leave in God’s hands the form of the answer to our prayers. He will always do for us what is best. Many times when we ask only for bits of tinsel, He gives us heaven’s gold and jewels instead!

God’s plans go on beyond the measure of any little life. David would soon pass away from earth, and he would see no temple built for God. But a son would be born to him who would build a house for the honor of God. Men pass away but God’s work goes on. One falls with his plans unfulfilled and his hands full of work; but another is raised up to perform the unaccomplished tasks. The succession never is broken in God’s ministry. He has one great plan, which embraces all His servants from the beginning to the end. Our plans may be set aside but it is because God has a work which is better. Nothing will fail if we each do but our own little part; another will be ready to begin where we leave off.

We live on in our children. If they are faithful to their responsibility, they carry on the work their fathers have begun. In Solomon, David’s house and kingdom should be continued and then made sure forever. As men read history, this promise was not fulfilled. David’s personal throne was not established forever. No one can find it now. Antiquarians are searching amid the ruins of centuries for the landmarks of David’s and Solomon’s reigns but no throne is in Jerusalem today, nor has there been a throne there for ages. But Bible lovers know well that the promise has in reality been gloriously fulfilled. It did not refer alone to an earthly succession. Christ was the “seed” promised in its full and final meaning. His was the “kingdom,” and His the “throne” that should be “established forever.” So the line fulfillment passed from earth up to heaven. Christ came of the seed of David, and the throne which we would search for in vain in the city of David stands amid the glories of heaven, and all the redeemed worship and bow down before it.

How many works do you have on Ao3? I have 16 of them on there; however, I historically am not from AO3, but from fanfiction.net ; on there, I have 15 stories, 1 of them is also on AO3 so I won't count it.

It brings us to a total of 30 stories!

This is without counting some fics that were on fanfic-fr.net, but unfortunately the website was closed and I won't be able to access it :(

What's your total ao3 word count? Counting the gigantic CYOA I was part of, 186,095 words.

Without it, 68,879 words.

Now, if we add the fanfiction.net stats (without counting the one shared with AO3)... :D

Ff.net word count: 310,810 words

Grand total with the CYOA: 496,905 words

Grand total without it: 379,689 words

What fandoms do you write for? Good Omens currently. However, I have written plenty of fics for: Harry Potter, Sherlock, One Piece, Eyeshield 21 and Dragon Ball (Z, GT, Super)

Top five fics by kudos:

The first one is the CYOA, which is rigging everybody's stats. Here it is, but I will write 6 fics total, since this one really is an outlier xD

1. Coming Home - A Choose Your Own Adventure Story (E)- 466 kudos

Having thwarted yet another attempt at ending the world, Aziraphale and Crowley are, in fact, ready to have sex now. Just how successful their sex shall be depends on the discerning decision-making of you, dear reader… More than thirty authors combine to bring you over one hundred possible ways that the first night at the South Downs cottage might play out. Aziraphale and Crowley - and you - will embark on a thrilling voyage of self-discovery from which no one will emerge unchanged.

2. Dance our night away (G) - 284 kudos

1944, 29th of February - leap year. Crowley and Aziraphale are invited to a ballroom dance party, and will dance- but angels don't dance, do they? Based on Gleafer's 1940s swing dance drawing!

3. How like a winter has my absence been (T) - 191 kudos

1941, Crowley and Aziraphale just spent the evening in a bombed church and in West End performing a deadly magic trick in front of weary American soldiers and a set of four Nazi zombies. Tired, they end the evening in the angel's bookshop. Happy to see each other after eighty long years, they spend the rest of the night together, drinking, listening to the music on the radio. Maybe, maybe the longing was about to give them something more.

Hoowee, laudanum! Last time Crowley does that! Plot? What plot? Purely indulgent cemetery porn for gcaledonian, one of the mods of the Good Omens After Dark subreddit. Enormous thank you to Bean_art, LauraMoon1987, Zoinksart, GaHellHimself, DaneeCastle, Gleafer and Zoey Time for the artworks that you will find inside!

5. Your Grace is a Fire (E) - 176 kudos

Laudanum! Last time Crowley would do that... Hell infuses the demon with hellfire and sends him back on Earth, where Heaven hunts him down for three decades before Aziraphale gets his hands on him and brings him back to the bookshop. There, they work together to rid Crowley from this hellfire plaguing him... /!\ DEAD DOVE. READ THE TAGS BEFORE STARTING. TAKE THEM SERIOUSLY. Many thanks to Gleafer for her amazing prompt that rotted my brain for a whole ten days: “Hell infuses Crowley’s body with hellfire so he runs away and hides for years. Aziraphale finds him, and he thinks he knows how to put out the fire that burns his demon so!”

And He Fell (G) - 157 kudos

Taking place after the end of season 2. The Second Coming is raging, destroying all life on Earth in an epic battle between Angels and Demons. But for Crowley and Aziraphale, that means it is time to meet again and to save the world from dying entirely. Crowley's Fall is explored during that final fight; how his punishment took place, and what fomented his hatred of Heaven.

Do you respond to comments? I try, but I'm not very good at it. There might be days, weeks, months even before I give a response, and I'm very sorry for that. I read you all, I just... forget :|

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Absolutely is An Arrangement in Black. The entire piece is angsty (mind the tags! it's a dead dove!), and the end isn't much more positive honestly.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Probably is Dance our night away, because the entire thing is fluffy fluff happily fluffying.

Thy Eternal Summer Shall Not Fade would be a solid contender however, as it is my collection of fluffs.

Do you get hate on fics? Not really, at least not anymore. I used to have some on ff.net, but that time is behind me :)

Do you write smut? *scoffs*

E

S

Of course.

Craziest crossover: I don't really do crossovers :)

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge, but I've started writing a long time ago, when common courtesy didn't really apply. So maybe, but I wouldn't be aware of that.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge, but I would be very honoured if it happened :)

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes!!

The CYOA was a good example of that.

I co-wrote a crack collab fic with a fellow writer 10 years ago in the Harry Potter fandom, and another, angstier fic with another writer in the Sherlock fandom. Both are in French, be aware of that ;)

I have participated/am participating to several bangs, which are collaborations between a writer and an artist.

Jane Doe is the one published so far.

I am also currently in 3 collaborative fics that are in the making.

All time favorite ship? OOF difficult question. The one that gets me most feral is Hirumamo (Hiruma/Mamori) in the Eyeshield 21 fandom.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Amber Lily, a DBZ fic under the premise "What if Planet Vegeta didn't explode" => it is a massive project of mine, but unfortunately I can't seem to get the juice for it, when I look at the sheer size of the endeavour. So I'm starting to repurpose it into other projects that could fit it.

What are your writing strengths? I am experienced, which means that I'm fast. I write very fast and I am precise, meaning that I don't need much re-reading after it's done to call it completed and ready to publish.

In terms of themes, my specialty is romance. I have a tendency for detailed descriptions, meaning that I excel in romantic angst specifically.

What are your writing weaknesses? I'm just not good at writing humour, and I consider that my weak link in prose is dialogue.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? Very fun to do, however please be a native speaker of it or talk to a native speaker to help you with it. Google translation won't be your friend.

First fandom you wrote in? Dragon Ball.

Favorite fic you've written? It's a few months ago already, and I've grown quite a bit still, but How like a winter has my absence been still stands as my pride and joy.

An Arrangement in Black is right behind however, I'm very proud of the end result.
