“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.” —Jeremiah 17:7-8
“Stand Tall” By Wendy Richmond:
“When I moved from Minnesota to Louisiana as a teenager, one of things that fascinated me most about my new environment were the cypress trees. These majestic beauties can reach heights of 100-150 feet and have massive trunks that often extend down into lakes, streams or swamps. Their roots reach deep into the water. They are certainly not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.
These massive trees are a visual reminder of those who trust in the Lord, those who have made the Lord their hope and confidence. In times of heat or drought other trees struggle to survive. They may shed their leaves or stop producing fruit to conserve resources, but the cypress trees remain green. They continue to thrive even when conditions are unfavorable.
When we put our trust in the Lord, when He becomes our hope and confidence, we too will thrive during unfavorable times. It doesn’t mean that unfavorable times won’t come, for they certainly will. It just means that when we trust in the Lord, we will stand tall and continue to flourish despite the circumstances.” Amen!🙏🕊🙌

Verses from 1 Peter [from the Bible] that I used in my poem ”Salvation”:
”³ Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, ⁴ and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in Heaven for you, ⁵ who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1 Peter 1:3-5)
”In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.” (1 Peter 1:6)
”These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” (1 Peter 1:7)
”⁸ Though you have not seen Him, you love Him; and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, ⁹ for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” (1 Peter 1:8-9)
”¹³ Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at His coming. ¹⁴ As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. ¹⁵ But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; ¹⁶ for it is written: ’Be holy, because I am Holy.’ ” (1 Peter 1:13-16)
”¹⁷ Since you call on a Father Who judges each person’s work impartially, live out your time as foreigners here in reverent fear. ¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the Precious Blood of Christ, a Lamb without blemish or defect.” (1 Peter 1:17-19)
”Through Him you believe in God, Who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God.” (1 Peter 1:21)
”²² Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart. ²³ For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.” (1 Peter 1:22-23)
”¹ Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. ² Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, ³ now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.” (1 Peter 2:1-3)
”⁴ As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— ⁵ you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:4-5)
”For it was written in the Scripture: 'See, I lay a Stone in Zion, a chosen and precious Cornerstone, and the One who trusts in Him will never be put to shame.” (1 Peter 2:6)
”⁹ But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His Wonderful Light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.” (1 Peter 2:9-10)
”¹¹ Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul. ¹² Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.” (1 Peter 3:11-12)
”¹⁵ For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish people. ¹⁶ Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. ¹⁷ Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.” (1 Peter 3:15-17)
”¹⁸ Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. ¹⁹ For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. ²⁰ But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. ²¹ To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.” (1 Peter 3:18-21)
”¹ Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. ² As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. ³ For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. ⁴ They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you. ⁵ But they will have to give account to Him Who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.” (1 Peter 4:1-6)
”⁷ The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. ⁸ Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. ⁹ Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling.” (1 Peter 4:7-9)
”¹⁰ Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. ¹¹ If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.” (1 Peter 4:10-11)
”¹⁴ If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. ¹⁵ If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. ¹⁶ However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.” (1 Peter 4:14-16)
”So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their Faithful Creator and continue to do good.” (1 Peter 4:19)
”¹ To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: ² Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; ³ not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. ⁴ And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.” (1 Peter 5:1-4)
”⁵ In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” ⁶ Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s Mighty Hand, that He may lift you up in due time. ⁷ Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:5-7)
”⁸ Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. ⁹ Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. ¹⁰ And the God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.” (1 Peter 5:8-10)

The Allegiance of the Ascended Vampire and the New God of Magic
#bloodweave#baldur's gate 3#bg3#gale x astarion#astarion x gale#gale dekarios#astarion ancunin#yes this is about astarion helping gale defeat mystra and take her place with the crown in exchange for gale helping him with the ritual#the ‘they can make each other worse’ part of their relationship turned to the max#I enjoy them being reluctantly soft for each other more but from time to time I just think about how powerful they could get together#toxic evil boyfriends. take love and twist it up until it’s unrecognisable#I like to think that astarion approached gale with that offer after realising no one else in camp is gonna help him#and that he can use gales own hunger for power which backfired when astarion actually became emotionally invested in gale#and after gale kept his word despite everyone’s concerns astarion changed his plan from not fullfilling his end of the bargain to actually#helping gale kill mystra (mostly so that gale could belong to him and him alone. and letting him take the place as a god bc having a god#at you beck and call is definitely appealing. especially one as eager to please as gale)#anyway what I want to say with this is please please please let me kill mystra i don’t even care if the weave gets destroyed again

“The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly.” —John 10:10 (NASB)
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand.” —John 10:27–28 (NASB)
“Jesus is Life” By Michael Wilson:
“This verse is so powerful because it shows us the contrast between the enemy’s plan for us and God’s plan for us. The enemy wants to rob us of our joy, peace, and purpose. He wants to destroy our relationships, our health, and our destiny. He wants to keep us in bondage, fear, and despair. But Jesus came to give us the opposite of all that. He came to give us life, and not just any life, but abundant life.
What does abundant life mean? It means a life that is full of God’s presence, power, and provision. It means a life that is overflowing with His love, grace, and mercy. It means a life that is marked by His wisdom, guidance, and direction. It means a life that is fruitful, productive, and impactful. It means a life that is satisfying, fulfilling, and rewarding.
How do we experience this abundant life? By following Jesus and obeying His commands. By trusting Him and relying on Him. By loving Him and serving Him. By worshiping Him and honoring Him. By learning from Him and growing in Him. By sharing Him and witnessing for Him. By living for Him and dying for Him.
Jesus said He came that we might have life and might have it abundantly. He paid the price for our sins on the cross so that we could be forgiven and free. He rose from the dead so that we could have eternal life and victory. He sent His Holy Spirit so that we could have power and comfort. He gave us His Word so that we could have truth and wisdom. He gave us His Church so that we could have fellowship and support.
He has given us everything we need to live a life of abundance. The question is: are we living it? Are we enjoying the blessings He has bestowed upon us? Are we embracing the opportunities He has opened for us? Are we fulfilling the purpose He has assigned to us? Are we reflecting the glory He has revealed to us?”

now you see them, now you don't


one, being a number, is used to shapeshifting because that's how numbers are! they change and shift aalll the time and she's also used to being 2d because every algebralien can be tied back to the little symbols we see on the page. they're built for it
objects? not so much. and it's a lot less pleasant for basketball to suddenly have her entire body and perception of reality warped after losing an entire dimension
#also yes basketball's tail (rope from a basketball hoop) gets fluffed up like a cat#ropes are.

you guys all get that trump is intentionally tanking not just the US economy but also the global economy in order to create the conditions for large corporations and their primary stakeholders to buy back stock and take over more businesses, right?
this is about wealth redistribution—when economies fail or even falter the rich get richer and the poor get poorer
hell—it’s even beneficial for many billionaires/ millionaires to have the stocks they own decrease in value—yes, temporarily they lose wealth. but if they can leverage the lower stock prices in order to acquire more stock they then gain a higher amount of control over a company and a larger share of the profits going forwards
elon musk has, quite famously, intentionally tweeted things that caused a reduction in tesla’s stocks so he could buy back shares—he was investigated for this by the IRS and FBI because it is technically fraud (if provable)
i know it’s easy to joke about how stupid these men are “haha trump doesn’t know what tariffs do”
and yeah—these are not particularly clever men. they have more or less one skill set (business, fraud, con artistry) and they are fairly good at that while being terrible at everything else (to be fair, it is not hard to be good at business or being a con artist. it’s pretty damn easy actually—you rely on other people to behave in good faith while you rob them blind. that’s it)
i’m not saying this is some brilliant or genius move
what i am saying is it is such a basic, nakedly obvious maneuver with very clear intent and results
(many others have made similar moves. tanking the US economy in order to consolidate wealth and power in the ruling class is practically an all-american pastime at this point. but they usually at least try to hide what they’re orchestrating and what their motivations are)
they are counting on you seeing this as pure chaos born from ignorance rather than “controlled chaos” or whatever stupid shit republicans and ultra wealthy finance and policy wonks are calling their malfeasance these days
“haha trump is making america isolationist and ruining the economy there”—yeah. no fucking shit captain obvious. that’s the goal
isolationist economies don’t hurt billionaires and capitalists that much in the long run, though they may take a hit intially—they just make them the biggest fish in a small pond—allowing them to make the smallest fish in that pond with them suffer more than they were to begin with
#anyways yeah—trump hates usamericans#if you are not an exceedingly wealthy capitalist he not only does not care about you: he wishes you harm#this isn’t some accident. it’s intentional. and the intent is to disenfranchise the working class and enrich himself and his cronies#everyone cheering at tesla’s stock price plummeting as if that wasn’t the entire point lmao#god it’s not funny#us politics

I’ve been reading through your Spellbound AU and thought of something funny, so naturally I wrote a short story for it.
My take on how Jazz came to work for Orion.
———————————————————————
Jazz slunk across ruined stonework overtaken by forest growth. Form shifting as subtly as the shadows he crossed.
Which would it be?
Tall and slim? Nah, that one already served it’s purpose. The twins saw something lank and dark looming in the trees, and now the young knights were distracted looking over their shoulders.
A hulking brute? No, that’d inspire an all out confrontation. Jazz already had all of them keyed up to act on instinct.
The twins were easy. Young and expecting a straight fight. Pax, his target, was harder to ruffle. He had the reputation of a courageous selfless hero and damned if the mech wasn’t dedicated to the ruse.
Pax wasn’t spooked, but he did take his underlings concerns seriously. He marched forward as a pillar of confidence and safety, but Jazz caught the way his gaze scanned the ruins. His white shadow seemed indifferent, but he was just an audience member anyways, not a real fighter.
Primed to play the part. Pax just needed his queue.
Jazz got into place on his stage. He shifted into something small and weak (in appearance alone). Bent a leg at an unhealthy looking angle, and slumped like he was exhausted and chased here.
Jazz sat with his back against the wall, the partially collapsed stone room was small enough that a mech of Orion’s stature would have difficulty moving quickly. It had the nice bonus of blocking anyone else from coming through the main entry point as well.
Through a crack in the wall, Jazz watched as the leader in blue and red got closer, his “loyal knights” lagging behind. The white one lagged as well, distracted by scolding the twins for being distracted.
Jazz focused on his target. Pulled at a thread from within Pax and strung it within his own chest.
Jazz set his new voice and with all the terror and innocence he could conjure screamed.
H̴͉̮́͂͗̐͌̍̇E̸̡̞̅̎̒͗͂L̷̛̻͎̮̽̏͝͝P̴̛̭͈͌̔̃̊͛̓ ̶͉̩̖̔͛͋̃ͅP̴̫͔̖͔̼͗̑̔͘͝L̸͓̣͖̫̭͎̊́̑̀͐̈́Ḙ̶͕̪̳̟̥͂̓̈̅͂͝Á̵̖̳̱͙͋ ̸̭̤̹̔͑͒̈͆̓͘Ȏ̵̡̥͈̪̟͛́̑͆̐͜Ḣ̷̡̻̪̘̯̹̊̂́̒͠ ̷̭̭͕̙̟̬͈̇̄̌̅̂̚̕W̸̺̯̦͔̼͇̄H̷͖͛̎͐̄͊̂͝À̶̘̙̈́̎͛̒͘ͅṰ̴̻͉̜͂̐̽̀̇ ̴̬͓̝̞̀̆̕T̸̙̖̲̺̯̆͛͜Ḥ̵̱͚͕͔̆̉ͅȆ̶͙̆́́̌̋ ̵̧͔͔̰̰̰͕̿͂̆̂̅̅F̵͕̘̰͓̓̔͜͜U̵̧̝̳̔̍̇̅̿͜͜͝Ç̵͎̎̓̒̓̊̂K̷̨̈́?̶̱͈̖̺̘͓͆̄͒͋
He slapped a hand over his mouth.
Outside, everyone went deathly quiet. Jazz didn’t dare move.
“Um.” Spoke their fearless leader.
Who apparently had thing for asthmatic dragons.
“Are you alright in there?”
Movement started to approach his hidey hole. Jazz could still salvage this. He could.
The white shadow came through first. Damn it. New plan: save own life.
Jazz plucked a new voice from him and made himself look as unthreatening as possible.
“ - ?! !”
Nothing. He loves the concept of nothing. Not even a celebrity crush? A favorite singer? The sound of his own voice?
Some of the functionalists were like that. That’s probably half the reason they “allowed” him to take on their commissions. All the money in their coffers wasn’t worth this however.
The white mech frowned, scanning over Jazz with a cold blue look. He turned back to the entrance, “Sir, there is a ‘hypothetically’ injured person inside the building. Most likely they orchestrated our current circumstances in an attempt to assassinate you.”
Jazz lunged from the wall, dagger slipping between armor gaps to pierce the spoil-sports spark, ready to dash past in the resulting chaos when his lifeless body guttered before them.
And just like his voice, Jazz got nothing instead.
He gaped at the way his blade cut into hollow air beneath the plates. Numbly, he pulled out his dagger and stabbed again, like it’d do something different this time. The mech was unamused.
“Sir, the assassin is trying to assassinate me.”
Jazz pulled a working voice, “I̷͕͍̓̒͝ͅ’̵̝̂m̵̼̲̓́ ̷͚̑́͗͜n̶̢̬͈̉o̷̦̓̎͝ṱ̶̟̼͒͊ ̵̨̮̠̿̀ǎ̷̫̹n̶̫̜̚̕ ̸̹͙͐a̵̛̯̻̹s̶͍̈́s̵̳̲͎͂a̷̻͉̅͆̑s̴̛̫̞̽̈s̵̳̑į̸̝̽̊n̷̙̟̤͊!̸̪̃”. And discontinued his failing assassin attempt to cringe.
A massive hand closed around Jazz’s wrist, stopping him cold.
“Do not.” Orion lessened his grip but did not release him, “Harm my friends.”
Jazz had to crane his head back considerably to make eye contact. Orion was built like a brick house and Jazz had enough experience fighting mechs like him to know his kill window was gone.
Groveling it is!

Orion cringed behind the mask.
“I- I’m sorry I don’t think I quite understood that.” He paused, “Would…you like a cough drop?”
Orion seemed to take stock of what he had on him, patting his sides with his free hand. He turned to the white mech.
“Prowl, would you happen to…um nevermind.” He turned to the twins, “Sunstreaker?Sideswipe? Do either of you have a cough drop?”
The twins searched their pockets for a magically appearing cough drop. Jazz searched for his sanity.
Jazz plucked a voice from the twins and couldn’t care less which it came from.
“Listen!” Oh thank fuck the twins were normal.
Jazz smiled while slowly uncurling Orions fingers from his wrist. Prowl narrowed his gaze at the new voice.
“You got me! I’m a thief! And I panicked! And I am so, so, so-.”
“A mimic.”
Smile frozen in place, Jazz turned his head so slowly there was an audible grounding noise.
Prowl remained impassive.
“Um.” And Orion…let him? Pull his wrist free. “Are you going to continue trying to kill me?”
Jazz snapped back to Orion, his target. The words aren’t what gave him pause, but how he said them. Like he just asked Jazz “Are you sure you want to go with puce green?” As if the mech was more concerned that Jazz was going to make a poor decision than for his own wellbeing.
“No.” Jazz said definitively. Because Primus knows he lost the upper hand now and wasn’t aiming to try again so soon.
“Are you genuinely in need of money? Food and shelter?” Orion continued, optics softening.
Jazz didn’t recognize the play. He bit his lip beneath the cowl.
Jazz decided to capitalize on whatever got him the most sympathy. He nodded seriously. “Yes. Of course. It’s not easy when the functionalists decide you’re a monster.” A bit of a lie and a bit of the truth. His favorite combination.
“Do you like your current employers?” Orion asked and Prowl started to narrow his optics.
“No…I don’t.” Jazz answered without enough dishonesty to feel comfortable.
Orion kneeled so he was on optic level with him. “Would you like to join my order?”
And when Jazz just stared at him he continued. “You’d be free to leave if you ever found it not to your liking. And your skills would be very useful in keeping people safe. And of course we’d ensure safe lodgings, fair pay and-.”
“Sir.” Prowl ground out with the most emotion Jazz had ever seen from the guy. “He tried. To assassinate you.”
“Well, he wasn’t very invested.” He shrugged.
Orion looked at Prowl. The twins looked at each other. Jazz looked at an opportunity.
“Deal.” Jazz took Orions hand, shaking it before his better thinking caught up to him.
Orion’s optics crinkled in delight. “Wonderful! Welcome to the Autobot Order!”
Prowls face betrayed nothing, but Jazz hadn’t spent his entire life studying people to miss the way something ever so subtly cracked under Prowls stoney facade.
Jazz didn’t need their Order to survive. But he had become desperately curious to know what in Pimus’ sweet name was going with those two. And more importantly, after outing him twice in a row, Jazz was going to BREAK Prowl.

The silent sentence was “Did you hear that horrib- Huh?! OH COME ON!”
I just really liked the idea that because Jazz talks in Shockwaves voice around Orion, the first time it happened everyone nearly shit themselves.

"Who apparently had thing for asthmatic dragons."
LMAO
"The twins searched their pockets for a magically appearing cough drop. Jazz searched for his sanity." AHAHAJCZTYLVXFUJKCDYKFSS HELP
Jazz, looking at OP: There is something really wrong with you. Five weirdness points out of five.
Jazz, looking at Prowl: ........I need a new scale
#oh my god ahahaha Jazz would go slightly insane trying to figure out what Op's deal is#because Prowl is just. Straight up doesn't care about anyone it seems#But OP does have a loved one#but literally everything about their voice and Op's reaction to it DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE#kfkfjdhsgskdk#SSTP let me hug you gently#you britened my tough day#:>#mimics au writing#tf mimics au
