The Idols that Sneak up on us-

Even while these people were worshipping the Lord, they were serving their idols. To this day their children and grandchildren continue to do as their ancestors did- 2nd Kings 17:41 NIV I have known a lot of Christians over the years, all sorts of people who love Jesus and have dedicated their lives to serving Him. Jesus is their God and they are His people (John 10:2-4, Matthew 16:24).   Not…

Extended Team Phantom

I love the classic trio and seeing Jazz and Valerie added to the roster, but I also love seeing some fresh faces fighting the good fight. Here's some more people I always picture when I'm thinking about how the team would evolve over the years.

Wes Weston - obviously, you've got to include the fandom's collective child. Once they finally drill the importance of Danny’s secrets into his head, he's actually great at misdirection. It turns out there's a slight memetic effect to the information he spreads. It causes people to also disbelieve any evidence of Wes's theory they stumble across later. The effect lasts somewhere between 1-2 week

Kyle Weston- Kyle is actually his middle name. He did not escape the Weston naming tradition, but he told his kindergarten teacher that his middle name was actually his first name. From that point forward, he learned that: the more outrageous his lies, the more power they held. Kyle may be ridiculously laid back, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been academically tied with Jazz since 1st grade. He knows EVERYTHING that goes on in Casper High and has been covering for Team Phantom ever since the 1st Lunch Lady fight. Good luck getting him to admit to any of this. Danny is still convinced Kyle thinks the moon is made of cheese.

Philip "Spike" Wilkins - the only adult member of the team and the only one with first aid training. Spike was a senior in his first appearance and has since graduated and got his paramedic's certification. One nasty fight led to Spike learning Danny’s identity and calling Jazz to pick him up. The absence of his piercings (can't wear those at work) cause Jazz to not recognize him at first, but that moment of confusion was soon replaced with relief. Spike has been Jazz's best friend and pseudo big brother since she was in 3rd grade. It's not a problem for him to expand that to all of Team Phantom. Looks can be deceiving and the studs and mohawk don't change the fact that Spike is the true Team Mom of the Extended Team Phantom.

This is the only thing I'm going to say about the election until it's over:

Anyone who did not vote for Harris or who attempted to dissuade people from voting for Harris, you are indirectly responsible for whatever shit Donald Trump does if he gets elected. That blood is primarily on his hands, yes. But it is also on yours. I hope you can live with that because I sure as hell wouldn't be able to.

Here, relationships are basically impossible. As time goes by, I see more and more riders oriented towards a “win or die” mentality, they hate you if you beat them, as if to win wasn’t other riders’ main goal as well. Their attitude changes depending on their results. Some time ago, and I’m not talking about centuries, mine was a sport made for enthusiasts: to win or to lose indeed was important, but it wasn’t everything. To this day, the atmosphere has deteriorated. Even off-track: some of them cheer, some of them boo, some of them get suspicious, some of them talk about biscuits*, but I would like to see who truly is immaculate to throw the first stone. “I know some people who wouldn’t pass a conscience test not even if they cheated”. I don’t even know where I read this quote anymore, it probably was in the middle of all of the dumb shit we send to each other via texts everyday, wasting our precious time despite having more interesting things to do. But it is a truthful quote, nevertheless: it perfectly reflexes a way of life that I cannot stand. This is also why I do not have any friends within this environment, and it saddens me a bit.

*biscuit: biscotto in italian. biscotto spagnolo or biscottone spagnolo was the term used by italian fans and press to refer to the marquez-lorenzo alleged “alliance” to make valentino lose his 10th title

The Three Letter Word that Changes Everything-

My soul waits in hope for the Lord More than the watchmen for the morning; Yes, more than the watchmen for the morning- Psalm 130:6 NASB Malaise.  It’s real. The dictionary defines malaise as: An uncomfortable feeling that something is wrong, especially with society, and that you cannot change the siltation.  In recent weeks, I have been afflicted with a persistent sense of malaise. It has…

When I came across that "joke" from Tav to Quill and Z'rell's comment (plus Halsin), I had to take a minute to process what happened. Gale might be a bit silly and eccentric but he's the kindest, sweetest and most passionate character in that party. No wonder the poor man has deep insecurities to solve, so many people reduce him to an easy target! Ofc one of the side effects would be overconfidence and ambition as a defense mechanism. He's obv lonely; only Tara and Morena ever loved him for him.

his eccentric nature might be a part of it. he is loquacious, outgoing, and doesn’t see the point in hiding his enthusiasm. he is considered to be the weird one. naturally, wizards in general being seen as somewhat squishy and physically weak might also add to it.

personally, i really don’t like the implications of the (widely considered) autistic-coded character being the one who faces the most ridicule by far by other characters and fans (and larian) alike.

some might disagree with me on that, but i don’t find it funny by any means either. mostly it just makes me feel bad. “he deserves it. cocky, arrogant, hubris-ridden wizard needs to be taken down a peg” like he isn’t… y’know… already at his lowest. it also disregards the fact that much of his bravado is part of his carefully curated Great Wizard of Waterdeep™ persona that he has skillfully adopted to mask his general feeling of being defective. being fiercely proud of your skill and knowledge and being doubtful of having something truly worthwhile to offer are mindsets that can coexist. according to fandom, gale is either secret hubris incarnate that is only waiting to be unleashed upon the world or pure baby that can do no wrong. instead of a character that is just as flawed and traumatized as all the others, but no less deserving of genuine love.

to me, the constant ridicule just reads as further feeding into his deep-rooted insecurities and his belief that he (as gale, the person) isn’t someone who holds inherent worth. it really, really doesn’t sit well with me.

young Geppetto

he's around the same age as Carlo here so about 18-20

no monocle version:

I'm an avid believer that Carlo/P looks like mama Camille

but i also love Carlo having strong resemblance to young Geppetto

sometimes you dont know you looked like your parent until you see a younger photo of them!

features i believe Carlo inherited from each of his parents:

Camille: eye + hair color, shape of eyebrows, hair type (poofy hair)

Giuseppe: eye shape, nose, hair style, head shape
