Good Omens Fic Rec: Exalt

“Ooh, aren’t you brilliant,” that voice rumbles with the tonality of jest and slitted eyes that gleam gold. Gentleness and shelter trying to disguise themselves as fire and brimstone. “Actually, I–I think getting us all in the cellar was very clever,” is what he says. Do you really think so? is what he doesn’t.

*Minor Spoilers* Screaming, crying, throwing up, the works. You know that feeling when you read a line in a fanfic that just makes you feral and you have to stop and reread it over and over to get the full effect? This fic is FULL of those moments! This is so insanely well written and decadent. I loved this fic.

This a really poetic and prose heavy work so I definitely recommend this for a time where you can fully focus on it. It's incredibly rich and atmospheric. I can feel the salty storm outside, and smell the soil of Crowley's garden. It's also incredibly clever and insightful. It has a lot of really interesting things to say about their characters. I could copy at least 10 lines of this story in here that brought me to my knees, but I’ll let you discover them for yourself. I cant get over how beautiful this was. The ending line is still repeating over and over in my head. It's simple, but gets me right to my core. Just truly an excellent story.

Dergtober 9-13

Lots of loose black and white thumbnails coming up.

Day 9: Exalt; featuring a scared and slightly divine tundra cub. I was inspired by what @/Petall did for this one to work with what exalt means outside of flight rising instead of the mechanic. There’s an old draft of Mani’s background in his bio, but in short, he has the misfortune of being involved in one of the darker threads of lore in my clan. His egg was the first to survive a series of experiments a secretive group was doing on ancient ice artifacts that irradiate dangerous levels of pure ice magic. This involved his egg being exposed to way more elemental magic than an egg ever should, resulting in a dragon that has way more magic than a dragon really should. Mani was revered by the group and certainly had been raised into power, but it was hardly a childhood he wanted. (Things do work out okay for him eventually! But he has to do his own rescuing for a while.)

Day 10: Crossroads; I had two ideas for this one, one cheery to make up for sad tundra baby and one less so. I decided to sketch both, and you can tell which one I got more invested in. XD Version 1 is one of my clan's trading caravans reaching a literal crossroads and starting to debate on which way to go, featuring Cadmus, Merlin, Euryale, Aella, and Sandía. Version 2 is for a metaphorical crossroads where a certain dragon has to decide whether to change his path in life. Alden sits in a sort of an awkward, unresolved space in my lore-- waay back when Sandía was in a roleplay onsite I got attached to a semi-villain NPC I was using, then somehow hatched a dragon that was a close match of the colors I pictured for said NPC, then had the roleplay fall out soon after. So, I was still invested in whatever would have happened between Alden and Sandía but didn’t want anything from the roleplay to be canon to avoid stepping on material that deeply involved someone else’s lore. I know their story involves Alden working for kidnappers and at some point making the difficult decision to change sides and free her, but have never gotten around to ironing out the details.

Day 11: Pile; featuring a quick doodle of a sleep pile of the little found family Mani eventually gets. On the right we've got Mani cuddling his partner Pruino, who's in turn getting piled on by Pruino's apprentice Marco, and above them an adolescent Siku, who is basically a child Mani just showed up with one day. Mani probably told Pruino what was up with Siku immediately (it's related to the group that experimented on him, now his sworn enemy), but it takes him a long time to warm up to Marco and let him into their circle of secrets. It occurred to me later that I totally excluded Kilauea, who should count as part of Mani's circle, but then again Kilauea is on tenser terms with most of them and wouldn't have been very comfortable in the sleep pile.

Day 12: Scroll;featuring Dauen. He doesn't really have lore so much as vibes, but I'm sure he'll end up with a story one day. I decided there should be a updraft early on and just sort of went with it.

Day 13: Serthis; featuring an as of yet unnamed Serthis and Cadogan's egg. This lone serthis has stumbled upon egg, size:large and they are debating what to do about it. The answer is adopt child, size:large, but they haven't gotten there in their pondering yet. Just now they're probably trying to decide how big the parents must have been. The drawing is still at sketch-phase, but I ended up playing with colors for a while so it'll be that much harder to clean up the sketch if I decide to finish this after dergtober.

Glorify God, Emulate Christ: The Thesis of Theosis

As Christians, we are called to something far greater than mere moral improvement or personal success. Our calling is to reflect God’s glory and to grow into Christ’s likeness through a deep and transformative communion with Him. This process is known as theosis, a theological concept that describes the believer's transformation into the divine nature. While this may seem like a lofty goal, it is not an unreachable ideal—it is the very purpose of our lives in Christ.

1. Glorify God: Reflecting His Glory in All We Do

The first part of our calling is to glorify God. This means that every aspect of our lives—our thoughts, actions, and relationships—should reflect God’s greatness and holiness. When we reflect on God's glory, we acknowledge His supreme power, His unfathomable love, and His perfection. As believers, we are meant to mirror these divine attributes in the world around us.

In 2 Corinthians 3:18, the Apostle Paul explains that, "we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory." This transformation is not something we achieve on our own, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. As we live in communion with Christ—through prayer, Scripture, and worship—we become more like Him, and His glory is reflected in our lives. Theosis is the process by which we are increasingly shaped by Christ to reflect His perfect image, and thus bring glory to God.

2. Emulate Christ: Growing into His Likeness

The second key aspect of theosis is to grow into Christ’s likeness. This is not simply a matter of imitating Jesus’ actions, but of allowing His character to transform our hearts and minds. As we become more like Christ, we begin to think as He thinks, love as He loves, and live as He lived. This growth in Christlikeness is an ongoing process that requires both commitment and dependence on God.

Romans 8:29 states that, "those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son." Christ is our ultimate example, and we are called to emulate Him in every way. But this is not something we can do through our own strength or willpower. It is through communion with Christ that we are able to grow into His likeness. As we draw near to Him, He changes us from the inside out, and we are empowered to live lives that reflect His love, humility, and holiness.

The Power of Communion

The unifying thread in both of these key points is communion with Christ. It is only through a deep, personal relationship with Jesus that we can fulfill our calling to reflect God’s glory and emulate Christ’s likeness. This communion is nurtured through regular prayer, meditating on God's Word, and living in the power of the Holy Spirit.

In John 15:4, Jesus said, "Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me." True transformation—becoming more like Christ—can only happen when we are deeply connected to Jesus, allowing His presence and power to shape every area of our lives. This intimate relationship is the foundation of theosis, as it is through our union with Christ that we reflect His glory and grow into His likeness.

Conclusion: Our Calling to Transformation

Theosis is not an optional part of the Christian life. It is our holy calling to reflect God’s glory and to grow into Christ's likeness through communion with Him. This calling is both a privilege and a responsibility. As we live in relationship with Christ, we are transformed into His image and, in turn, reflect His glory to the world. Our journey of becoming more like Jesus is not something we do in isolation but is deeply rooted in our communion with Him.

As you walk through your own spiritual journey, remember that your calling is clear: Glorify God. Emulate Christ. Through deep communion with Him, may your life reflect His glory and grow into His likeness, day by day.

Clothed with Humility

In like manner, younger men, be subject to elders; and all of you gird yourselves with humility toward one another, because God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore be humbled under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, Casting all your anxiety on Him because it matters to Him concerning you. — 1 Peter 5:5-7 | Recovery Version (REC) The Recovery Version of the Holy Bible © 2009 Living Stream Ministry.

Started drawing art for the hoard of exalt fodder I have. You can see the others I have so far in my art shop. I really love seeing exalt fodder get adopted, so if you do something similar let me know. <3

Stuff in bulk since Twitter keeps going to shit. As a sidenote, i keep getting notifications daily of bots with empty profiles following me which is getting incredibly grating. Still remember when Tumblr had it's massive exodus because they wanted to rid the place of bots and oh hey would you look at that... Egh.

Anywho, recent commissions so far of this year. Character art of the protagonist of a short comic based on the Remnant Unknown fanfic i will post here eventually Supreme Commander commission of the ACU commander managing to rescue Dostya instead of seeing her die. And Sue Susan commission, covert agent of XCOM
