#Praying for the Dead

[virtie333]

What a beautiful day. Absolutely no wind, a rare and beautiful thing around here. 20 degrees this morning. It got to 56. When I work day shift, I work sunrise to sunset, so I have to make sure and take advantage of the sun when I can.

My petunias are tough! Everything else is wilted and gone after last night, but not my petunias!

Chester is still healthy. If no one in the outside stalls gets sick for two weeks after Bullet left to go into quarantine, then I'll breath a sigh of relief.

Fire to our southwest, but... it's a prescribed burn.

It's traditional for Catholics to visit a cemetery the first week in November. I did it today and had a good cry. You could see the smoke very well from there.

Lots of deer on this quiet weekday.

Then a long walk with Jackson. The sun is setting now.

Going to read what I wrote yesterday, have dinner, then start writing!

Famous Saints and Their Devotion to Praying for the Dead

listen as you read Throughout the centuries, many revered saints have shown a profound dedication to praying for the souls of the departed. Their examples inspire us and shed light on the importance of this spiritual practice. St. Gertrude the Great, a 13th-century mystic, received a vision of Christ who told her that with each recitation of a certain prayer, 1000 souls would be released from…

Perpetrator? or the next victim?

Tim is working on a case where a series of accidents have been happening that have all landed the victims into comas. The police don't seem suspicious of it but Tim sees it differently. They are all random people, but when looking at the photos/video footage taking during the accident. Tim has noticed a common variable.

the new barista from his usual coffee shop, Danny, is always somewhere in the background.

Now Tim has two theories.

Theory 1: Danny is the perpetrator!

Something that Tim is not a fan of because Danny is the only one that gets him his coffee order without any questions and evens adds more espresso when he asks for it.

Theory 2: Danny is going to be the next victim!

this is based on that Danny is the intended victim of whatever the heck is happening and that the victims in the coma were just caught in the crossfire. This is also not something that he wants because Danny is genuinely a pretty nice guy to talk to.

So what can Tim Drake do?

Stay by Danny's side of course!

Take his time with finishing work at the coffee shop.

Conversing with Danny whenever business was slow.

Hanging out with Danny at times.

Asking him out to dinner-wait what?

Meanwhile

Danny is in Gotham because he's helping Constantine with some evil Demon business.

The demon's been targeting certain people and Danny's job is to hold onto the people's souls until the demon is dealt with by Constantine. When that's done he'll return everybody's souls back to their body. No harm done!

And he's even making a friend with that guy who also drinks the coffee on steroids beverage he made.

Plus Constantine told the vigilantes of Gotham that he was there to help so there's no problem of him being there right?

...

Constantine told them why he was here right?

Young Jazait mother posing for a lore friendly fishing photo with a sea 'turtle'. This is only a modestly sized adult (the biggest could grow almost three times this size), but a lucky catch nonetheless.

While superficially resembling a turtle (and very often referred to as such), these are actually from an entirely separate order of marine reptiles that has remained successful and widespread enough to keep true turtles confined to freshwater habitats. They occupy a variety of niches, with this particular species being more basal and subsisting on a specialized diet of mollusks.

This animal has a very wide range in shallow subtropical and tropical waters, and can be found along all the Imperial Wardi region's coastlines. The sea-turtles and their eggs are widely considered to be delicacies, and hunting pressures have extirpated them from many heavily fished areas, though the overall population has remained mostly stable.

The meat itself is very tender and resembles veal with vague, oil-fishy undertones. The connective tissue around its shell can be boiled with broths to give it a thick texture that becomes highly gelatinous when cooled. In South Wardi cuisine it's often cooked into a pepper stew and eaten with grits; in Jazaiti cuisine the body is most often gutted and roasted whole in the shell while the limbs are boiled for broth. Their smaller pelvic shell is also traditionally used by Jazait to form the body of a lyre.

Prim's name wasn't the only one in the reaping bowl because the entire point of Prim being chosen is to show that life in Panem is random and cruel. These kids truly are selected and die for nothing, based on nothing, most of the time. There is often no grand cosmic plan or 4D chess conspiracy at play in awful circumstances unfolding, just systems of oppression working as they were designed. And you can do everything right to the letter - be the youngest eligible tribute from an unknown family whose name is only in the bowl once, not take out any tesserae - but it still won't save you.

James who always jumps too fast into relationships who has never cared for a slow burn who just wants to feel and feel and feel and is always looking for the high of the chase. James who meets Regulus and wants to take his time, who doesn't care about going slow because he's savoring every little step they take, basking on the first time Regulus calls him "mine", giddy over the first time they confess it's more than just a crush. James who now daydreams about everything he knows they'll get to have, who saves songs and pictures to show Regulus because they remind him of them. James who is in no rush because he knows he'll have Regulus for a long long time
