Storming Heaven: A Sunday Psalm Shouting for God to Hear our Complaint

Poets in scripture imagined our prayers drifting up gently like smoke from incense, fragrant and pleasing to God. It is a beautiful image, a sweet comforting truth. God bends his head and inhales our words and songs, considering our needs. But sometimes our prayers cannot drift. They cannot be gentle. Prayers often must clamber the heavens shouting, sputtering, and making a spectacle of…

the morning (afternoon?) after this messy stunt. Floyd got off too easy in my opinion, but it's hard for Les to stay mad at him when he makes those sad pouting faces... ���

If you think Floyd's being really dumb at the start of this comic before getting a reality check, you have to take into account that he's madly lovesick and was feeling very smug atm; he's also a 15yo pop troll who thinks making out with someone means they're together now; and he assumed Les's sour mood was entirely the result of a nasty hangover...

P.S. They forgot about Hed lol (I almost forgot about him too, drew him just before posting lmao)

it occurred to me to Juxtapose the current lackadaisy triumvirate w/the former, now especially mysterious one: namely [rocky ivy freckle] vs [atlas mitzi mordecai]

you have mitzi and ivy where this is sort of an alternate, glamorous, welcoming and potentially promising world. ivy saying everyone treated her like royalty, mitzi's focus on atlas individually and the surprise of his interest & treatment.

then there's freckle and mordecai at least somewhat spontaneously drawn into "but he's just so good at it!"-based professionally shooting and killing you. perhaps also being obliged to someone as further motivation, whether they helped you finish school or not be killed today.

atlas is too mysterious & undialogued to cite any examples while considering Parallels, but you can wonder about rocky kind of being at the helm of the trio / drawing the others in, and trying to get to compose the result you want even if you're improvising your way there, but the proximity of disaster anyways

@asslover4 replied to your post “what do guys think of weed”:

I love that Romeo is pretty much the campus dealer 😭

​"Contraband is a lucrative business no matter where you are, but especially somewhere like Darkwick where getting ahold of even legal things can be a pain in the ass. I rarely conduct business myself though; my employees tell me what's been requested and deliver it in exchange for a small cut of the profits but I tell them how much to charge and provide the product.

"You could ask Taiga's underlings as well, I suppose. If you trust that BTH to have taught them not to put WKW in whatever your poison is." And if Romeo finds out he might upcharge you next time you ask his for anything. As a punishment for having no loyalty.

I actually like the last chapter. I think the ideas are very good. I have my qualms on how some things were managed, as I always do, but I think shonen authors get tangled in the expectations of a shonen to the point it jeopardises their writing, often even when they're not lacking in skills

Hot customer update: he leaned over the bar and asked.me.to.smell.him? Like, stuck out his neck? And I just kind of stood there and obviously looked confused or surprised because he laughed and stuck out his wrist instead. Then told me to add him on Snapchat
