The Prince of Ferrari

I’ve been working on this for a few days now and I must say I’m pretty satisfied with how it turned out (it’s weird, I’m never satisfied with my art but anyway😅). If uni work doesn’t get too in the way I will probably publish a companion piece on Sainz. So fingers crossed 🤞.

NEW KINGS! NEW KINGS! NEW KINGS! NEW KINGS! (Pretty please. I'm just super excited about the potential for more of my favorite foxes messing with the timeline.)

1/1/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | New Kings AU

Seth spends the majority of his day up in his bunk, pointedly ignoring any and everyone who comes to try and talk to him about staying in. He doesn’t get why they’re all acting like it’ll be the end of the world if they go out and have a night on the town, but he’s not about to let them ruin his vibe.

Eventually, they all must realize that it’s impossible to convince him not to go out because no one comes by for the last hour and a half before he’s set to head out. He gets up with an hour left and starts to get ready. He looks out into the main area but doesn’t see Neil or Matt sitting there.

He shrugs it off and heads to the bathroom to shower off and get rid of the gel that Allison had slathered into it that morning to make him ‘look more presentable’.

The Untamed, Ep. 11 // The Untamed, Ep. 48

[mooblybloom]

"You smell of death…" that was the first thing he said to Robbie when he met the boy from gravity falls and God's what chaos that would unfold for him…

Because through Robbie Danny met the pines twins and wasn't that a Pandora's box to open, because if Robbie smelled of death these two reeked of it

Which was concerning considering from the looks of it they couldn't be much older than he was (at least in human years) no older than 21 maybe 22.

It was one thing to smell of death, like Robbie. that was normal, he grew up in a funeral home, he was exposed to a lot of death in his short little life. But reeking of death? That created a whole new picture cause reeking of death was different and then smelling of it reeking of death means you came to him with very close calls.

That the strings that the three fates held in their aching ancient old fingers frayed a bit at the edges but never fully broke.

Coming to a realization Danny surveyed the three children (because they were children his hypocrisy be damned these kids were just fledgling birds in his mind legal drinking age? screw that!) in front of him. He came to a decision as the official god of death King of all gods of death he would no longer take orders from the fates he would no longer take souls from bodies just cause he was told to.

If frayed edges led to the deaths of children then he wouldn't follow their rule and that was when the war between fate and death began

thinking again about level 6 Kingsley, who's so brazen and impulsive and always getting into trouble.

God chooses David as King

1 And the LORD said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse, the Bethlehemite: for I have provided Me a king among his sons. 2 And Samuel said, How can I go? If Saul hear it, he will kill me. And the LORD said, Take an heifer with thee, and say, I am come to sacrifice to the LORD. 3 And call Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show thee what thou shalt do; and thou shalt anoint unto Me him whom I name unto thee. 4 And Samuel did that which the LORD spoke, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the town trembled at his coming, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 5 And he said, Peaceably; I am come to sacrifice unto the LORD. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice.

6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him. 7 But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature, because I have refused him; for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this one. 9 Then Jesse made Shammah to pass by. And he said, Neither hath the LORD chosen this one. 10 Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these. 11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he come here {hither}. 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and {withal} of a beautiful countenance, and handsome {goodly to look to}. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him; for this is he. 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day onward {forward}. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. — 1 Samuel 16:1-13 | King James Bible: Purple Letter Edition (KJBP) The King James Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2009 by Jim Musser. All rights Reserved.

1 Kings 17:8-16 (NASB). “Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, ‘Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there; behold, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.’ So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, ‘Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink.’ As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, ‘Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand.’ But she said, ‘As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die.’

Then Elijah said to her, ‘Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son. For thus says the LORD God of Israel, “‘The bowl of flour shall not be exhausted, nor shall the jar of oil be empty, until the day that the LORD sends rain on the face of the earth.’” So she went and did according to the word of Elijah, and she and he and her household ate for many days. The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.”

“Rely on the Source” By In Touch Ministries:

“Every need is an opportunity to trust God and discover that He really does provide.”

“No one likes to be in need. But from the Lord’s perspective, that situation can be spiritually beneficial. When the bottom drops out of our imaginary security bubble, we discover the reality that all provision comes from Him. The Lord uses various instruments to meet needs, but He alone is the source of everything.

Elijah had learned to live by faith in the unusual ways of the Lord: he’d been fed by ravens. Now God sent him to Zarephath, to a starving widow with no ability to feed him. Every financial need is an opportunity to learn to walk by faith in the Lord, trusting Him to be our source. Prosperity can lead to a sense of independence that blinds us to how inadequate we actually are to provide for ourselves. But in reality, we’re totally dependent upon the Father whether we know it or not.

Believing that God would provide for him, Elijah was able to witness miraculous divine intervention. We may not see the Lord perform a supernatural work in our finances. However, His Word tells us, “My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Are you focusing on the instrument or the source of your provision? The means God uses may change, but His faithfulness endures forever. The Lord is inviting you to trust Him and live in both the adventure and security of a life of faith.”

Revelation 15: Holy Smoke

As John watched, smoke filled the heavenly Holy of Holies, preventing anyone from entering in. For John, this would have brought to mind God’s instruction to Moses that God later portrayed in all reality. #Revelation15 #HolySmoke #Shekinah

Then after these things I saw, and the sanctuary of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened, and the seven angels emerged, the ones holding the seven calamities, out of the sanctuary, having been arrayed in radiant, pure linen and having had golden belts girded all around upon the chests. Then one out of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden broad shallow…

New Kings pls!!!

1/29/25 WIP Wednesday (CLOSED) | New Kings AU

“Are you fucking kidding me?” Seth demands looking at it all.

“Wait did he get out?! How?” Seth hears Matt’s voice and he makes his move because Matt is the only Fox with the muscle and height to lift him up. Matt is also the only guy Fox that Seth would feel kind of bad about punching.

He would still definitely punch Matt if the asshole lifted him up into the air to stop him from going out, but he would feel kind of bad about it tomorrow morning. He decides to take the elevator since he can see it just starting to close from where Minyard and Josten had gotten off.

WIP Wednesday for 2/5/25 is OPEN here.

John Wrote About the Word of God. Mary Obeyed the Word. What About YOU?

Ever since I became aware enough to consider such things, I have always thought that the first few sentences of the Gospel of John are possibly the most significant sentences ever written in Western civilization. They tie Jesus of Nazareth to the Ancient Hebrew Scriptures, to Greek thought and philosophy, and to the vast boundlessness of eternity in the space-time continuum. If the arrival of…
