#deciet has hands

[writteninlunarlight-years]

HI, LET'S TALK ABOUT ART THEFT

Hello, my name is Luna; I have gone by Luna for ages and have been friends with some fantastic artists here on Tumblr. One artist is @heart-of-the-morningstar

A few days ago, it was brought to our attention as a friend group that someone had reposted her entire work, and only in the small author note pointed out it was hers, and they were only doing this because the account has errors (Which it doesn't but we will get into that later)

The account in question for doing this is known as @luna-naoffcial

Now, from one Luna to another, stealing other authors' writing, purposefully taking art, and getting rid of the artist's watermark is wrong.

I have compiled a long list of proof of all the transgressions and my own personal grievances regarding what has happened and continues to happen in the artist community.

First off, story stealing:

To accomplish this, I went through every single story and copied not only the summary that this person wrote on their master list but also the first few lines of the text.

With this, I placed it in a Google reverse engine search and managed to find the accounts with the actual stories, all of which, from my understanding, do not belong to @luna-naoffcial.

They are as follows:

Masochism Tango: https://www.wattpad.com/story/365788359-masochism-tango-alastor-lucifer-vox

Molting Season: https://www.wattpad.com/story/365592419-%F0%9D%90%8C%F0%9D%90%8E%F0%9D%90%8B%F0%9D%90%93%F0%9D%90%88%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%86-%F0%9D%90%92%F0%9D%90%84%F0%9D%90%80%F0%9D%90%92%F0%9D%90%8E%F0%9D%90%8D-radioapple

To Love A Killer: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46501777/chapters/117090241

Insanity: https://www.wattpad.com/story/361200644-%F0%9D%90%88%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%92%F0%9D%90%80%F0%9D%90%8D%F0%9D%90%88%F0%9D%90%93%F0%9D%90%98

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are all stolen writing works, not to mention the one stolen from @heart-of-the-morningstar

We will move on to stolen artwork and the watermarks intentionally cropped out of view.

I opened a Google engine bar and an image search to find these. You can then download or drag and drop the image you are looking for.

With out further ado:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to dive into the 'apology' given out and the oddities I have found.

I don't know how many people on Tumblr are familiar with the Cait Corrian drama that happened a few years ago.

She was found creating many fake accounts on GoodReads and trying to ruin the chances of her other YA Authors' getting accredited.

She is also notorious for making fake discord messages to try and cover up her deciete

I post this specific account of the story and these screenshots to highlight the oddities of the following messages shared between @luna-naoffcial and her 'friend' @lia65lana towards a third individual named Kate. What is off to me is that there are a lot of odd things involved in this message exchange

For example, Lia is messaging Kate off Luna's account. Why not off your own account? On top of that, why is Kate on Luna's account? I trust many of my friends but would not hand over my account.

This conversation thread looks very similar to the Cait Corrians. Not only that, but the people in the conversation sound and talk very similarly. The grammar, spelling errors, and odd placement of some nouns and verbs are fluid between all 'three' people.

However, I am willing to step back and say it could be a dialect thing, as when I look at the @luna-naofficial account, my Google Translate automatically wants to translate from Mandarin.

What really struck me as odd however was the responses that both accounts posted as apologies

Lia's account is red, and as we have seen, Luna's is green.

Both accounts posted the EXACT SAME MESSAGES. Only Luna's had an additional ending.

As I was investigating for my friend, it changed again

Again, many of these messages don't fully make sense. There are many grammatical and spelling errors, all very similar to the original picture I added first. All of these 'three' people sound, talk, and make the same errors in all the same ways. I would like to play the benefit of the doubt. In these messages, there is talk of depression, death, and anxiety, all things I personally also struggle with and I understand are hard. However, they are not excuses for purposefully stealing other people's hard work and taking credit for them.

You blatantly take credit for others' work, which is wrong and disheartening.

Side note @alastorsmiles1930: The response and messages are also odd and read the same as all these others. This account is also the ONLY account that followed @heart-of-the-morningstar and the others in my friend group. I want to point this oddity out however I hope you are just an innocent bystander

From one Luna to another, please stop this and apologize. Not just to @heart-of-the-morningstar but to everyone you have been stealing from.

Thank you for listening My Moons

. . . scary? my god you’re divine !! 🍒 : “ i am the face that stares back at you in the mirror, tormenting you before your heart shatters like the millions of glass pieces that previously occupied the golden mirror frame you built for yourself ”

꒰ verse ꒱ 164

꒰ species ꒱ corrupt snake god, primordial rhytraari

꒰ ethnicity ꒱ chinese 

꒰ age ꒱ unknown ( millennia )

꒰ gender ꒱ male

꒰ mbti ꒱ isfp

꒰ alias ꒱ copper resentment, the copper rhytaari, copper primordial rhytaari, copper wrath ( by ecpd 781 ), copper siren, copper boy, the great snake, the serpent of the lake, duckling, emerald’s right hand, ( shrimpie ♡ )

꒰ story ꒱ 

a master of lies - the deity of deciet and great destruction. serpent to most, siren to some - a mad god is what he actually is.

a being of chaos, a chaos that hungers forever and on — craving discord and destruction, awakened by this. . . underlying hatred for the world, a hatred unknown. what caused this to stir in the first place?

taking form of a giant serpant that many write about in their numerous mythologies across the eras. too busy sucking out the souls from their physical bodies and luring them into the waters of his river, his lake. tearing them open and degrading them from entering the vicinity. stupid humans, stupid, stupid mortals.

why enter the ever dawn when it is rumored to be a place where none come out of once they enter? was their deaths not enough to satisfy their knowledge, did they truly have to go search? stupid, mortal, creature.

the being has no love for this world. . . why?

who is to say?

none will, the mouths that were once able to are dirt filled and bone now.

 

꒰ appearance ꒱

copper eyes with maroon undertones. slitted pupils 

long, straight black hair that trails behind him, he often has it up in some form of a half-bun. has copper streaks in his hair 

tan skin with copper glimmers all over his body. has copper freckles all over his face. androgynous and sharp facial features  

7’11” tall ( 241.3 cm ) with a slender figure 

hands ad forearms are stained in copper colouring 

snake features, such as eyes, fangs and general features 

rows of sharp teeth and an elongated tongue 

sharp talons 

typically dresses in lots of traditional clothes in regards to his culture. especially long, elegant hanfus

gold and copper chains and necklaces all around him. on his clothing as well 

red painted lips 

copper and gold bracelets crafted with opals and pearls 

lobe and upper lobe ear piercings 

gold nose ring 

midline tongue piercing 

opal navel piercing

can turn into a giant snake that often dwells within lakes and water bodies

 

꒰ personality ꒱

alluring and charming, a silver-tongued, cunning and deceptive being which thrives off of discord and feeds on resentment.

carries himself in an eerily calm manner, an effortless cool confidence following wherever he may step.

when displaying wrath and malice, it is usually put into a serene and calm font, his enchanting voice misleading you into false safety.

deceitful, loves spinning the truth and playing mind games on people.

sinister — you find him often delighting in chaos, unafraid to step on a few eggs if it means he can have his way.

a master of manipulation, the rhitaari indulges in sadism of the highest degrees and often gives into his violent tendencies.

a sociopath, far from forgiving.

eager to put people in their place and remind them of his power, all with a smile on his face, laced with kindness.

he is patient, yet determined and willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

in spite of his general aura of elegance and control, talisen can be quite erratic and even impulsive; something that can lead to catastrophic evens.

despite his malevolence, the rhitaari can as a matter of fact extend kindness to those he deems worthy of it. he does not fancy hurting the innocent. . . unless they can be used as leverage.

he is a possessive man, and has a tendency to grow beyond obsessive over the ones who hold his heart, which can result in quite the yandere behaviors from him.

though, he may be this confident being, it all ultimately falls short when the deeper parts of his soul are observed.

he is deeply wounded from the past. ashamed and guilty from the choices that he made and commit to. . . though, the show must go on, must it not?

 

꒰ with a lover ꒱

sweet and gentle with a lover, caring and nurturing

so many possessive undertones, hidden well by his deceptive behaviour. he is most definitely yandere esque. wants you all for himself — so that he can put you into his and his husbands’ cottage, and keep you there. where you can just simply be, and enjoy life them

always doing his best to assure that you are feeling good. and when you are not he’s immediately running to you to bring you comfort or whatever it is that you may need

dances you around the cottage or the forest grove, singing soft melodies to you

composes many poems and songs for you

very touch starved man, which means his hands are always resting on you, whether it be your hips, waist, thighs, shoulders — anything he can touch really

when you are not around him to touch, cuddle or simply speak to — he gets irritated very quickly

can be extremely teasing and flirty. especially with his words and touches. can get exceptionally touchy

can pretty much the definition of a puppy that forgets how big it really is. randomly picking you up and slinging you around gently, or simply just holding you close, stealing kisses and randomly throwing you into bed to cuddle

expect lots of random midnight walks

sooooo many kisses and huggles through the day

 

꒰ strengths ꒱

alluring song and beauty: his songs and beauty are enchanting, much like that of a siren. he is able to put people in trances with this and lure them to their watery demise.

he is proficient with enchantments, and often uses them for his mischievous deeds, causing discord and chaos wherever he may step foot. also uses enchantments to his advantage as a way of drawing in wanderers and onlookers into his river.

illusions: born with these illusionary powers even before he was a rhytaari, he has now mastered the skill of creating entire empires in one simple flick of the wrist. this means when you walk into one of his illusionary fields you may experience intense brain fog, nausea and start hallucinating, as you are walking into something that is seemingly real but isn’t. he uses this method to also lure people to him and kill them.

charms: he has taught himself charms throughout his years, using them to make people tell him things when they refuse to do so.

teleportation: the ability to travel from one place to another instantly, with so much as a thought. this includes multiversal and realm teleportation.

silver tongue: something he has always wielded, he can be both incredibly deceptive and convincing. able to work his way around someone’s head and pull at them like the strings of a puppet. he is talented in the ways of manipulation.

mind-reading: the ability of telepathy, however, he can only do such if he is deeply connected to the person or know the person very well.

shapeshifting: the ability to shift his form into whatever he so desires, this can range from different people and beings to animals.

divinity: he is considered to be a corrupt god and therefore obtains catastrophic abilities, that of which allows him to quite literally have the ability to rip into universes

 

꒰ weaknesses ꒱

Hello! I saw your yandere!Loki, can I request something similar for Buddha? Hopefully it’s ok! :)

Hello! I'm assuming that you mean something that has to do with a love potion! I might not be able to write a one shot but hopefully headcanons and a drabble are okay!

This is the same reader from the Yandere! Loki one shot and the same general concept of: the reader will only fall for someone who manages to beat her in a fight.

Yandere Buddha + Love Potions

- You truly embodied what it meant to be a champion of humanity in Buddha's eyes; determined, resilient, and hard to keep down.

-Buddha would realize instantly that he adored you and would try to get close to you, courting you the proper way and making his interest known.

- However, if you weren't interested in him then he'd suddenly have no idea how to pick up social cues.

- You step away from him when he puts his hand on your back? That's cool, he totally gets not being in the mood for physical touches today.

- You laugh uncomfortably with his flirty words? Aw, you're so adorably shy♥️

- But for the sake of the story, let's say that you were either truly unaware of his feelings or knew about them and waited for him to challenge you.

- When you were chosen to fight with a God before Tameemon Raiden, Buddha actually offered that instead of the Valkyries, he would perform Samavadh��na with you.

- And it felt amazing.

- He got to be one with you, he got to be close to you in a way no OTHER person, God or mortal, could ever hope to be.

- He thought his soul was already complete but when the battle was done and he separated from you, it felt like some part of him stayed with you. As if it didn't want to leave.

- He had given up all earthly desires in his life as a mortal, but a mortal he was no longer so surely...surely it wouldn't be wrong if let his feelings grow, right?

- So he did, he let his thoughts run wild with images of you and him together in his head. His calm and chill demeanor masking the burning obsession that told him he HAD to have you, he must claim you as his and he has to hear him call you yours. Please, it's all he could ever want.

- While Buddha is a god infatuated, he was not stupid. The length of his feelings was intense and he knew it wasn't right and thats why he tried to hide them.

- However, that resolve breaks when he finds out that you had fallen in love with someone else. Someone who was less deserving of your feelings, nevermind having your love in general was maddening to the Buddha.

- But Loki had challenged you to a battle and won. Buddha knew that this was how you always wanted to chose your lover.

- Yet, while you accepted the results of the battle and welcomed Loki with loving arms, the God who couldn't stand seeing the mortal whom he connected with would not stand for it.

"It's for their own good." He reminds him as he watches Aphrodite work. His blue eyes glinting when the pink light reflected from the heart shaped vial Aphrodite had put the potion in.

Yes...that's why he was doing this. It was for you, for your own best interest. The God of Deciet was not to be trusted, in fact, Buddha was more than 100% sure that Loki must have cheated during your battle with him and that is why you lost. Perhaps he didn't have any proof but he didn't need it given Loki's reputation. But he knew well enough that you were a stubborn human, something he still loved dearly about you. He could not let that green-haired punk ruin all that made you good, all that made Buddha love about you.

Aphrodite worked in silence, wondering to herself if this was real. If Buddha, the God who was once a mortal and gave up every desire in his body, was truly making her create a love potion for someone who already promised themselves to another. She wasn't aware Buddha had this side to him, it scared her, so she kept her mouth closed and didn't dare to say a word because if he was willing to do all this scheming over a measly mortal...what else would he be willing to do.

"Her love for you will be false." Aphrodite warned him, handing him the finished vial.

Buddha stared at the potion before nodding his head in acknowledgment of her words. Yes, he knew very well that there was going to be a catch...but it was better for you to be in love with him under the guidance of the love potion than for you to make the wrong choice of your volition.

"We were never here." He says lowly to Aphrodite, his tone of voice was casual as usual but he needed no words to convey that he was threatening her to stay silent unless she wanted to piss him off.

Yes, this was for you. Buddha was just concerned for you, that's why he had to do this. If you had realized during your time together when you were both bonded that you were both meant to be, he wouldn't have had to do this, but humans were often foolish.

This is why they needed Gods. Kind gods, who'd offer them a path to a better and more happier life.

This is why you needed him.

It was honestly too easy to get you to take the potion, after all, you had no reason to distrust the man with two hair colors. Buddha was your ally, who you fought as one with and who wanted to celebrate your newfound relationship. He watches eagerly as you accept the drink from him, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as you down the entire cup. You then talk to him a little longer before looking at the time.

"I have to go but thank you!" You say cheerily, standing up to go meet up with your lover.

Buddha nods his head towards you, pouring himself a cup of tea and watching you from his peripheral. You walk only four steps before you feel yourself get dizzy, your feet stumbling before you. You were about to fall but one strong arm wraps around your waist and you feel a pair of lips on yours. Your half-lidded eyes slightly went wide with panic when you realized it was Buddha himself who was kissing you, but then that panic went away instantly.

Your eyes became softer, more docile, and before he knew it, you closed them completely and kissed him back with as much passion as he had kissed you.

He would deal with temper tantrums that your now forgotten lover would give him, he'd make sure you never see Loki again so he couldn't poison your mind with the false promises you two made to each other after your fight.

For you belonged to Buddha, you bonded with him, and he knew he couldn't live without you. He was willing to play every sneaky underhanded trick to have you in his arms because it was what was best for you. Or maybe it was because even after all those years of reaching enlightment, some part of him was still human...and you, unfortunately, just brought out the worst side of that humanity.

[ohifonlyx33]

Random unpopular/controversial thought but nice actually means actually nice.

Like, a nice guy is just that--a genuinely decent, well-mannered, well-meaning dude with no ulterior motives. He doesn't buy you dinner ro get you to go home with him, he just buys you dinner because he had a lovely time. He may or may not be deeply virtuous on every level, and he can even be stupidly nice, or nice to a fault...

But just calling someone a nice guy shouldn't be an insult.

And I haaaaate that people take the words "nice guy" and use it to mean someone who only pretends to be nice. Like. He's not actually nice then. Stop besmirching the word nice.

Use a different word like fake, phony, decietful. A people-pleasing, glad-handing liar full of pretense. Duplicitous, fraudulent, two-faced. A con artist. Insincere. Boot-licker. Flatterer. Sycophant. A male feminist.

Get creative. But leave nice alone. It literally just means harmless.

Those people exist and can do plenty of harm, but nice has nothing to do with them and their many problems.

you have your own sides????

that’s so cool? Can you tell me about them? :D

Viva: Sure! Pax is basically the mom of the group. She took/takes care of Val and Trixie. Sometime Logan, but Lilith mostly did that. Pax is my morality, many of my feelings and sense of rights and wrongs.

Viva: Val is my anxiety. She is a more chill person, even though she is anxiety. She was basically raised by Pax along with Trixie.

Viva: Trixie is my implusive and intrusive thoughts. She is a handful, but Pax has two hands. She loves causing trouble.

Viva: Lilith is my deciet. She does have gloves, but Trixie stole and hid them. She has scales that appear and disappear at random times. They look like doodles, btw. If she doesn't have her gloves on and she lies, she hisses her words. She also raised Quinn and Logan.

Viva: Logan is my logic. She picked her name because it sounded like someone who has order of things. She does get of track sometimes, tho.

Viva: And Quinn! Quinn is my creativity. She loves music, art, Disney, and well, being creative! She loves talking to others about her ideas!

Viva: Any other questions?

{Orange: Hey! What about m-}

{Val: **kicks her down**}

[spoocyshrub]

*Tuff and Leon were seated at their home, the two sharing a meal together. Leon began to poke at his food with his fork which caught the attention of his brother. Tuff asked Leon if he had anything on his mind, and Leon let out a sigh.* “I guess I’m just a little homesick. Don’t get me wrong, I love living here in Allervale. I have everything I could have ever wanted. We even have our sister in our lives…We have a father again, and we can even communicate with our lost mother… I just… I miss the old farm sometimes.”

*Tuff set his utensils down and began to rub his temple in frustration.* “I know you miss the old farm, Leon. There’s just…there’s nothing we can do. Dad’s gone, and now the farm is in someone else’s hands. We don’t exactly have a choice. You know he won’t hand it back to us, even if we are the rightful heirs to that land and that property. I had to do what I could to keep you safe. Had I tried to fight, they would have killed you. You know that, and you know I would do anything to protect you.”

“Tuff? Isn’t Rayia like…the heir to the Magogs? Since she’s the daughter of Baron Buptkitzer? Couldn’t she or Abe… wouldn’t they have authority on this matter? Or at the very least could talk to the baron about it?”

“Then what would we do then? Leave Allervale? Do you want to go back home and leave all this behind?”

“Not at all, I like it here too much, but perhaps we could turn the farm into a little safe house or outpost for whenever Abe or his allies are in the area. Not to mention that there’s one less decietful land grabber in the area. I don’t want to think about others facing the same hardship we did when he threw us out. not to mention we’d be able to visit dad again if the grave site is still intact. We could take him to Necrum now that the crypts are back in operation…”

*Tuff’s smile grew as he listened to his brother.* “I think Abe has been rubbing off on you. You must really look up to him, don’t’cha?” “Well…yes.” -Leon admitted with blush on his face.- “He is a very admirable mud. A great leader. I look up to him quite a lot, I look up to all of you really. You, Alf, Abe, Toby, Dokk, Bram, Elli, Rayia… All of you mean so much to me. It’s why I want to go with on this final confrontation with the Brood Father. I’m not strong like you, Elli, or Alf. I’m not good with scrapping or machines like Dokk or Bram. I can’t drive vehicles like Toby can. But I do know a bit about natural remedies, the plant life, and my knowledge with the local flora and fauna. Not to mention I may have been getting lessons on how to harness my powers from Big Face and Gabriel. You might be pleasantly surprised with how I can help.”

[burdenedreverance]

😶 + What do you see in me? Aside my skillset, I'm not the most feminine neither am I the prettiest? I'm just a simple person trying to do her best every day.

"Does such things truly matter?"

He draws a thin line across his lips the words came out quicker than he intended. He regains his composure, like a fencer who is adjusting to attack from a different perspective. He is determined to move past her defenses, one step at a time.

"One, perhaps, the measure of a woman or partner might have been such arbitrary things. Though I daresay you do not credit yourself enough. But those things alone do not define you, nor do I measure your worth by those attributes." His words are carefully picked not because of deciet but because he wishes to convey his true beliefs. He has never been the most accurate and punctual with his words. So this matter requires his utmost attention, and it is clear on his face.

"You are willful. Committed utterly to the role which you have taken. When thrust into a role of great responsibility, you rose to the occasion. This speaks to your character. When others flee, you choose to be a comforting hand. This reflects upon your character." He pauses for a moment, an amuse smile settles onto his lips.

"Is it truly so maddening that I might find these admirable qualities of you, and your mere presence, worthy of admiration? Of my affection?"

Once upon a time, when time ticked for me I'd watch from the corner and all I could see Were parrots and puppets strung far and wide Cut strings and souls draining right from their eyes Regents abound and all shall be proper And heavens forbid should any one stop for The ones who get tangled, the ones who cant dance For such a cruel stage, there's no second chance And despite all the gears the teeth didn't bite Worthless metal screeching so far into night And that horrid sound echoing to accost Over and over till purpose was lost When I looked to myself I was a husk all the same My indolence festered, heart scarred and flayed Donning the mask as my final decree For that was the moment that time stopped for me The stage had been rotted, the plot lay in shambles So the mantle was open when I took the handles I'd swing the door wide and improv my part I'd make a new world and time would restart A world filled with meaning, a fiction to most But here I shall extend my hand as a host For the beauty once drained has pooled at our feet So dance a new stage, one bereft of deciet Connect what is broken, tend to each gear No vapid tones to grind on my ear Where hearts will lay free from burdens from others And those who insist shall be tossed to the gutters Oh what a thrill what a grand cabaret Shall be the world that I shall display For nothing to lose and all to forget What better use for a marrionette

Faith that Prays

TeensXcite 2015.03.14 Faith that prays

How are we going to demonstrate the power of God? We do it through Prayer.

James 5:13-16 NIV

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

We need to pray as we believe that something is going to happen. Prayer is what demonstrates whether your faith is dead or alive. If we feel that we are all true followers of Christ, then we honestly will feel compelled to pray. We will feel that we must pray every single day.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

We often treat prayer as our last resort. Prayer should be our first resort. Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire? Prayer should be something that we constantly need to guide us. Prayer is a manifestaiton of our faith. Do you pray everyday? When you continue to pray, you will see God's power at work in your life. We need to check our prayer life.

Your prayer life must consist of: 1) Personal prayer

James 5:13a NIV

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.

You can never pray too much. We must keep praying.

Matthew 14:23 NIV

After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone,

Mark 1:35 NIV

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

John 17:20 NIV

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message,

Jesus was always found to be praying. The disciples asked Jesus how to pray because they knew that He lived a life where praying was a must and that it is a serious thing and a top priority. We need to have a hunger for prayer. If you really believe that Jesus Christ has power and is your Lord and Savior, then you will be praying. How is your personal prayer life? You have to be desperate for the presence of God. We need to enter into a close relationship with God. We need to start a personal prayer life if we do not have one.

2) Community Prayer

We have to have a community to pray with. Do you ask people topray for you when you fall sick? When you come into a community, you can confess your sins to one another and to be prayed for. Come together and pray together. We need to come as a community to pray. There is a different place for a community to come together and pray. You can lay your hands on the person that you want to pray for. Why must we come together as a community to pray? There is power in community prayer.

Matthew 18:19-20 NIV

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Whenever God's presence is manifested, God's power will be unlocked there.

James 5:16 NIV

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

There is accountability in a community. None of us exist alone. So whenever we have sins in our life, we can confess our sins to one another. We can make sure that we are right before the Lord. Sometimes we pray the wrong prayer on our own. In a community, we can check each others hearts when we pray. Pray together with a cell leader, as we tend to pray in a manner that is favourable to us. Our hearts are decietful, that is why it is good to pray in a community.

James 4:1 NIV

What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

Isaiah 59:2 NIV

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

These things are causing us to be far away from God. Go deal with the sin that makes your prayer deffective. Sin must always be brought out into the light. We cannot hide our sin away, that sin will cause God to turn His face away.

Prayer will cause sin to cease, in the same way, sin will cause prayer to cease.

We need to live out a prayer life where we have a personal prayer life and a community prayer life. We need to pray, it is all about our faith.

Luke 11:1-13 NIV

One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: “ ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation. ’ ” Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need. “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”

This is a very key thing that we have to pick up. Jesus brought up the fact that if you ask it will be given, seek and you shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. He also brings up what God will do when we ask Him for things, and God shall give to us what is best for us. Sometimes we do not ask, and we ask through prayer. Have you been praying in your life? Does prayer really work? Prayer is the demonstartion of faith, and it does not deny the existence of a problem, but it denies a place for the problem. Prayers work, but your circumstances does not always change. God knows that sometimes it is not the circumstances that change, but sometimes it is ourselves who needs to change. We need to increase our level of prayer. Prayers work. Jesus hears our prayers and our cries.

[ithisatanytime]

he is still refusing and im still asking. he wont say hes jewish because if he says bobby is jewish when bobby spent his LIFE adamantly denying it, and denouncing judaism the press continued to say he was jewish, he had to write letters and everything to make them stop. if you say yes he was jewish, the shill has committed to judaism as an ethnicity, because if it wasnt bobby couldnt have been jewish, you cant be a christian and not know it or a muslim, you cant deny up and down being a christian and have the whole press go "yeah but you are though"

if he on the other hand says no bobby isnt jewish, that supports his deciet that judaism is a religion only, but it goes against a major mainstream jewish narrative so he cant deny it. bobby being a self hating jew is the only thing keeping bobby from being the best chess player of all time who also hated jews

its a catch twenty two, he is completely fucked. the first time i asked he left for twenty minutes and i know he got a supervisor, this is insane

[puppetlooselystrung]

also can i just say. its funny when you compare the two characters i play in two different campaigns and the duality of man is how on one hand i play a fallen aasimar who was the angel of love who killed another angel out of petty grievances and ill fated miscommunication and then tried to kill a god because she finally learns she no longer has to bend to the wills of others or be dictated by the emotions she feels arent hers and she can live her life as her own and is one who is a master of deciet and persuasion while still caring for those around her and being simultaneously the angel and the devil on your shoulder while being the most easily flustered and awkward creature you have ever laid eyes on.

and then on the other hand you have an awkward pretty kitty princess who apparently accidently became a repressed dirty minded woman (which im so sorry to my other group members one joke snowballed into her making "wizard jokes" another character doesnt understand) and is just sad and paranoid about her old noble family finding her all cause she owns a possessed set of dice she uses for divination who she thinks is the gods talking to her. because the dice actually talk to her. she is like if Twilight Sparkle was a cat. and talked to dice. and got driven out of her royal family she ended up in. on account for the fact she talked to dice. and because of her magic.

[uegg]

A fraud in life, a fraud in the Abyss, and now a fraud that walked the mortal realm collecting souls through deciet. Uegg may not have remember anything before the infernal realm twisted his soul, but he was consistent to a fault. The only pleasure that he could derive would come from his manipulations. That's just the kind of devil he was, one who only ever propped himself up on the backs of fools.

And devils who held a comparable rank to him weren't fools. That's why he and Kalamar would never mix no matter how intoxicating the sensation of their swirling chaos was. The corruption aura of two devils traveling together would be noticeable from miles away, and a part of Uegg desired the wholescale destruction this realm would face as a result. But playing the part of Crusader has taught him patience, restraint, and the joys of pulling strings from the shadows. "By the time they realize I deserve the pyre according to their doctrine, I'll have made so many friends in their ranks they won't have the chance," he responds, Dantalion's hand rising up to stroke the side of Kalamar's face. He'd feel the truth behind the illusion, the thin, serpentine, talon-nailed appendage of his true form rubbing against his tentacled shadows. "However, when they march you towards yours, it'd be my honor to deliver your last rites. Make them good and perhaps you'll earn my ear in case the Dark One ignores you." Maybe it was time to start speeding up his plans. If he had to contend with Kalamar, Uegg's only options were to reach his endgame soon or find a way to remove the other devil as an obstacle. He couldn't withhold his grin any longer, this game was getting interesting. "Who am I kidding? Of course you'll have my ear! You're no different than them, your faith in yourself is absolute. How I'd delight to hear you renounce it," Uegg chuckles.

Uegg was certainly a familiar path for the flock, but he wore a mask and pretended to be something he wasn't. His followers didn't worship him, they worshipped the idea that he was peddling. The lie. Kalamar always aimed to deceive, a trick on the wall, a careful twist of his tongue- but in the end, he wouldn't pretend to be benevolent. Those under his boot would stay there, forever, and with patience, Uegg would join them. That made his mouth water.

"No, there isn't." Pious men were all the same, "But to each their own - who am I to judge? I imagine they're all just different flavors of you - not that I wouldn't mind a taste." Kalamar imagined that Uegg would go great with a side of vestal, but for the moment he'd have to quell his appetite. The blight cropped up wherever Uegg walked, this game of his wouldn't last forever, sooner or later someone would notice how little he had not aged... And how the people who bent their knees to him were getting sicker and sicker. "When they march you to their pyre, I'll lend an ear toward you," he brushed one of his appendages against the devil's cheek before he let it land on Uegg's shoulder, curling across his back and to the nape of his neck. "the Dark One may or may not listen, but I certainly will. Until then I'll eat my fill-" how much he'd interfere remained to be seen.

[bastard-snake-man]

Sorry Roman stans, but this is a call out post. It probably has been by someone better than me, but still. This is also decently negative so be weary of that. Also

Spoilers.

⠀

⠀

Deceit is not in the wrong in the slightest for getting angry at Roman when he revealed his name. (I'm using Deciet here because I don't want to spoil it, still, in case someone just comes across this and their eyes go to an unfamiliar name, like mine did)

Look at him beforehand. He takes a deep breath, then kind of says it almost quickly like Virgil did, albeit much smoother and less fast. He's clearly,, nervous.

He also puts his right, human hand up, of which is not hidden by a glove. Also it's the same one that we see an arm attached to in the is video when he throws his arms around a little, but I think that's just physics. This is body language that is seen normally, but obviously Deciet is doing it intentionally here.

Showing your palms to someone or something is a surrender, a sign that you don't have any weapons on you, that you won't hurt them. If a wounded animal lashes out at you, you show your palms to it to try and show it that you mean no harm, and only want to help it. In a similar vein, it is subconscious for people to show parts of / their whole palm (according to Iwaha) when they are being truthful. It's a sign of emotional vulnerability, as opening up can be hard, especially if it's something as important as a name. This series has put an extremely high emphisis on the names, so it only makes sense. Deceit is nervous, and he's showing his palm, then putting it up for the camera to see to show that he is being truthful. The sides know that viewers are watching, they talk to the camera multiple times throughout the series, and you couldn't have seen his hands otherwise. He is showing this side (ha) to the audience aswell, not just the other sides. His head is also tilted to the side, allowing us less of a view of his left. Not to mention the music. He's being sincere, no doubt about it.

Thomas and Patton, just like most everyone in the fandom, was very surprised when Deciet suddenly started opening up and showing us things we haven't seen before, even if it's a single hand. Then he says his real name, and they're even more surprised. But... not Roman. After like a second or two, he bursts out laughing in his face, and the music stops. We see Deciet for like a half second here, and he's clearly taken aback.

He glances over at Thomas when he first says this, (at least I think, I have a lot of trouble with telling where all the sides are in the room), but then turns to Roman quick enough for me to have trouble grabbing a good screenshot.

Then Roman mockingly exclaims his name, and calls him a middle school librarian.

Deciet lowers his hand down, again hiding his vulnerability below the cut, and furrows his brows.

Roman continues to blatently insult him and say it's a stupid name.

It's not something I have to explain that Deciet is upset. His lips part, and he turns more towards Roman, and I think he takes a double take but that might be me remembering wrong. He's very clearly hurt, here. The names of these sides are incredibly personal, Deciet was nervous to say his name to the other sides, Thomas, and the thousands of people watching. Millions, in a few weeks/months.

And Roman laughed at him, mocked him, teased him, then blatantly insulted him.

Deciet lashes out, then, taking advantage the weakness that Roman doesn't like to be compared to his brother. With, primarily, his left side facing the camera. And when he's done, he looks at him like this.

It's something I can't really explain, I may write for 50% percent of my time, but I'm nor very good at it, so I'm sorry for the fanders that can't see the image. All that I can say is that he's truely offended and hurt. It takes a lot for a side to come out and say their name (unless they're Remus, or possibly, the last dark side), he showed us all a sixe of himself weve never seen before, and Roman doesn't think twice before insulting him.

The next shot is of him lowering his hands. He's just put his glove back on offscreen, while Roman was talking. I have a lot of chances to be condescending here, but I'm not, so don't call me mean in the comments. You can tell, also, because I got a really good screenshot where his other hand is also in frame.

His left hand comes up and hides the vulnerable part that he's just showed while he looks to the left. Then he puts his hands down again, looks down, and takes a small breath in.

We're not shown his reaction to Roman saying that he's evil, which goddamnit, Sanders, I would be so much more mean to Roman if we did see him.

He doesn't say anything before Roman sinks out, and watches him silently. He doesn't smile. He has this small sort of frown on his face, he's not outwardly happy that Roman is gone, which tells us that it was not his intention in the first place.

I could talk more about him in this episode, specifically how his eyes move when Patton gets hurt by what he says. I won't get into it, though, because this is a call out post.

All in all, you're not allowed get angry at Deciet for lashing out when a very personal aspect and side of him is being insulted, on my watch.

[a/n] - i just read this thing about the Bench Trio playing monopoly and i got inspired. monopoly is a fun game (/hj) and ive only ever lost once B] reader is in blue text :]

>—————————×××—————————<

"That's it. I'm fucking done. Fuck you guys." Tommy says as he stands, annoyed (and somewhat disappointed) expression displayed on his face. "I can't believe you would do this. I put so much faith in you guys, and this is what everything has come to."

"Sorry, I don't listen to people with no money."

"FUCK YOU!"

"I swear," Ranboo begins, rolling the dice, and landing on an area he already owned. "You people are crazy."

You laugh, sorting the multi-coloured money in your hands. "You say that as if I didn't already know that."

"Oh, yeah, I know you know. Not sure about Tommy, though."

"What the fuck, man?!"

"Haha! I'm outta jail!" Tubbo shouts, fist in the air. "Now to commit more tax fraud!"

"Tubbo on his crime arc."

"You can say that again." You pick up the dice, rolling a six, and right into jail. "Damn."

"(Y/N) on their prison arc!"

"Tommy, didn't Dream beat you to death in prison?"

"Ay, we don't talk about that here. This is a Family Friendly(tm) Monopoly Game. There is no talk of Death And Violence allowed."

"But didn't you say you were going to strangle Tubbo like, five minutes ago?"

"That's besides the point, 'Ranboob'!"

"Tommy, it's your turn to roll." You say, pushing the dice towards him. He rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, whatever. You can't do shit to me in jail."

"Are you sure?" You ask as he rolls a seven. Which leads him to land on Boardwalk. Which you own.

"FUCK THIS." He points a finger at you. "You have it out for me today, don't you?"

You shrug. "I dunno, mate, but you owe me $1400."

"I don't even have that much!" Tommy yells as he counts his money.

"You could try mortgaging some stuff." Tubbo responds with a small shrug. "That could get you some more money."

Tommy nods. "Thank you, Tubzo. You are very helpful."

With a thumbs up, Tubbo replies: "No problem, bossman."

However, even after mortgaging all of his properties, Tommy still didn't have enough money, rendering him Bankrupt.

"This game is shit." He says, crossing his arms and leaning back on the couch behind him.

"Whatever you say, mate."

"You're just happy because you won."

"Yeah, how did you even get that much money anyways?"

"Through the power of deciet and manipulation."

"You cheated didn't you?"

"No comment."

"I'M GONNA STANGLE YOU-"

"TOMMY NO-"
