#FALLEN WORLD

[lairesta]

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater."

-- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring --

Beautiful dreams - if the world were more beautiful they would come true. But the world is relentless and cruel - people are - they must be, I suppose, or they could not live.

In desolate wasteland, two hearts found each other, a beacon of hope. Through the ashes, they built a love story, a testament to human spirit, as their bond ignited the fire that warmed the ruins of a fallen world.

Revival and Salvation for the lost

We are called to spread the gospel to lead others to salvation. Jesus calls us to follow. HE came for all of humanity. Created in Gods image, carry a unique reflection of our creator. We live in a sinful and fallen world. we all need to receive salvation through God's grace. Not through our works. we were made new because of Jesus. We are invited to stand in the gap and pray for those around us who do not know Jesus. We are called to testify to Gods goodness and our transformation with others. As we partner with God, we build his kingdom with eternal impact in mind. The reflection of God in us and the power of our testimony can impact others. The reflection of God is in us.

Progression not Perfection!

Two Fathers, Two Kingdoms: Understanding Spiritual Identity in a Divided World

Everyone we meet has two fathers. Everyone.[1] They have a biological father and a spiritual father. Biblically, their spiritual father is either God or Satan. The Pharisees incorrectly thought they were children of God, and said to Jesus, “The only Father we have is God himself” (John 8:41). Here’s an example were perception was not equal to reality. Jesus refuted them, saying, “You are from…

"She's gone, Adam" The amount of love I have for @mistystarshine 's "Live Again" is inversely proportional to the amount of fanart I made for it.

It's time to fix it.

A little tired of people saying Moon can’t stand up for herself. Like yeah I think one of the flaws she has is she is too lenient and forgiving, but also in her situation it’s VERY HARD not to be. And it’s very situational, usually manifesting with Five Pebbles.

She stops talking to you if you annoy her enough, and only starts again if you win her back over. You have to put in the work. She isn’t “rolling over” and letting things happen to her, despite the fact that she is in absolutely no position to bargain. As stated by her, her kindness and her words are the ONLY thing she has. So her taking those away from you, the player, is absolutely her standing up for herself.

Everyone brings up how she handles Five Pebbles (esp the comms thing) and it is incredible to me just how many people lay this entirely at her feet when the game states over and over again that even despite Moon’s intentional feather-light influence over him, he still resents her for being his superior. He seeks out a mentor who is her opposite.

He wants to be something more than what he is, wants to be detached from her, and she can’t do anything about that but do the best she can to exert as little influence over him as possible.

She is stuck between a rock and a hard place here, and was betting on her kindness to have fostered enough mutual respect that she wouldn’t have to resort to forced communications. She was wrong. He was driven by fierce desperation, something that she wasn’t privy to. And she paid for it.

Yes, this is a flaw of hers. But it’s not a universal one. (the rest of the iterators look to her for help- she’s the group senior for gods sake- and people act like she can’t take a stand) I genuinely doubt Moon would’ve waited so long to used forced comms if it were happening to anyone else. If it were being committed by anyone else. And that just makes the tragedy even sweeter.

Vampires are horny like queer fuckboys on Grindr. Werewolves are horny like anarchists in a squat. Changelings are horny like starving artists in a drug-drenched commune. Mages are horny like overworked university students. Hunters are horny like soldiers crowded in a trench. Demons are horny like repressed feudal courtiers. The Hungry Dead are horny like creepy cult members. Wraiths are horny like a depressed motherfucker who just wants to feel anything again. Mummies are utterly and completely devoid of horny, as unhorny as a job application, they are antihorny. This is why nobody ever plays Mummy: The Resurrection.

Spider-Verse, and fanmade spider-sonas in particular, reinvent the same issue you run into whenever you're trying to come up with a name for a Superman pastiche, which is that in the absence of the character they're derived from, in a universe where they're the first to ever do it, every single one of those guys would most likely just name themselves Spider-Man or Spider-Woman. And even if they do try and come up with something more creative than that, they're gonna stop well before they get to any of the extremely specific niche Spider subspecies. You'd have like two billion people calling themselves The Tarantula
