Over the past few years, I am painfully aware of many situations where God has not answered my prayers. But now I realise it was only because He wanted to something more than I could ask or even imagine. And so I want to motivate you to pray big prayers with faith in a mighty God, who is able to do more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 God often puts His people in impossible situations to display His power and glory.
God told the Israelites to leave Egypt by a route where they had the Red Sea in front of them and the Egyptian army behind them. They had no means of escape. In that impossible situation, Moses told the people, “Do not fear! Stand by and see the salvation of the Lord….” The Lord miraculously opened the sea so that the Israelites could pass through, but He closed the sea over the Egyptian army. Nothing is impossible with God! Trust Jesus completely with everything that confronts you.

What if the organizing of the cases in the O.I.A.R being different from how they were organized in TMA with the original 14 entities is causing a remanifestation where the separations between the new entities are completely different. What if by organizing the cases and they are single-handedly driving this universes interpretations of the fears. They aren't categorizing existing things, they are creating the boundaries.
#tmagp#reading through some other theories and this occured to me#because theres no way they are still robert smirks 14/15#it wouldnt make sense from what weve seen#so the question is: are they one big fear entity again#or have the lines between them been redefined#and what if the oiar is manipulating those shifting differences and causing them to manifest more concretely#just as fundementally different categories of fear than before?#the magnus protocol#the magnus archives#the magnus pod#we established already that there was power from collecting statements and gertrude specifically devoted her time to making the archives#messy and hard to find things in#to delay progress#why couldnt that still be true

Hello there!
I have to ask cause it's everywhere and apparently my husband and I didn't see it!
Aziraphale & Crowley were obvious to us as a couple but we didn't see this with Loki & Mobius (please people don't be mad 🙃). I saw a great love and a bond that will last forever but not the way we witnessed in Good Omens. To me it was more of a family thing. Like Mobius has two sons. Could be the representation of Thor and Loki. I don't know. I was so surprised when I saw all this on Tumblr. I want to rewatch the show now to see if I really missed all the signs.
Hi there! 😊 Thank you for the ask and please don't worry for wondering, part of the joy in a watching experience is being able to see something in a completely new light. I hope you've come to the right place as Lokius and Aziraphale/Crowley are the only romantic pairings that have stood out to me in ages but now for fairly different reasons so I'll do my best to explain why in my own personal view Lokius is a slow burn for the ages above and beyond all other love stories to me and I'd absolutely recommend rewatching Loki, especially season 2, with the mindset that the tropes of every good romance are present in *every* interaction Loki and Mobius have.
(adding a read more here as I feel this is about to get almost horrifically long if you'd like to know even some of the signs lol)
Right from the start we see Mobius recounting being a fan of Loki's most mischievous acts on the timeline, pushing the question of just why he's focused on ruling and nothing else, really getting under his skin in a way no one ever has before?? And in that there's something even better and deeper than love at first sight; intrigue. Loki's furious at being held by the TVA but can't help being drawn back to what an enigma Mobius is to brush off his insults and offer salvation in the face of knowing every good or bad thing Loki's ever done and believing in him anyway.
Cue the tentative partnership and rapport they both get far too comfortable in which you see when Mobius indulges in letting Loki ruin the mission at the renaissance fair and later tries to backtrack in reassuring Ravonna he's got things under control, then again when Loki realizes Mobius has been reading him too well and defaults to leaning in to "fix" his perfectly tied tie, a callback to when Mobius pointed out Loki has a tendency to try and seduce people in more powerful positions who could help him. You actually see Mobius lean in for a moment before realizing himself and pulling back, but contrary to everyone else Loki's tried this with he doesn't give in or get angry, he laughs and once again points out what Loki's up to, trying to find a way to get to the Timekeepers.
That entire sequence is the tipping point for me when they officially enter romantic territory, as Loki's visibly thrown and surprised by the way Mobius reacts and scrambles after him, finally taking things seriously enough to do real work and is rewarded not only with trust he's never been given so freely before but a now mutual fascination you see during their conversation in the cafeteria (a highlight of the series for me ) when Loki can't help but try and learn more about the person who knows him so well already by asking genuinely about Mobius and his jet ski magazine. Blew me away because any previous version of Loki would've never taken the time or interest in something so ridiculous (in his eyes), but this Loki shyly takes in the way Mobius beams and opens up, because how could you not fall a little when such a simple pleasure makes someone happy?
Then when they research Roxxcart they flirt again, Mobius praising Loki and teasing he might take his job before what we refer to as the Roxxcart grocery store divorce and for good reason 😂 When Loki's captured back to the TVA, Mobius isn't just hurt, he's clearly jealous and *extremely* so because he thought *they* had been building something only to now think Loki played him all along and during Loki's next interrogation Mobius loses his temper in a way he never has before, making scathing comments about Loki stabbing him in the back and siding with his "girlfriend" which should kind of speak for itself there 😅 Then their mutual assurance of trust before Mobius is pruned and the hug in the void being initiated by Loki is huge as well when this is the first time he's shared EVER that with someone and you see the crushing despair when Mobius later no longer remembers.
Getting into s2, it's easier for me to sum up with the base of their s1 relationship laid out since there's no need to get into as much detail when the entire thing is pure romance start to finish.
Loki and Mobius frantically desperate to find each other when in reality they had been separated for maybe an hour? Mobius ignoring all other issues at hand and his superiors to gently hold Loki by the waist and pull him close, constantly grounding by touching his back, arms, anywhere to provide extra comfort and Loki giving him that control, Mobius spending the entire season actively trying to enjoy being on the field without limits for a change and organizing dates between the two of them all season when his focus used to primarily be on the work. He repeatedly asks Loki to go for a drink, suggests visiting the theatre, going on a hot air balloon ride, etc, while Loki stops to indulge in popcorn and pies just because small joys are important to Mobius. When Loki visits Mobius' original timeline self they spend the ENTIRE ep flirting with each other, and honestly Don having two kids is just as it seems since there were no official indications otherwise; he may share genes with Mobius but is a different person with a different life. Don can't stop bringing up how single he is, teases Loki about following him home, which Loki absolutely did but only after fixing his hair and coat to try and look as good as possible before seeing him (because again, he looks like Mobius) and getting so flustered stammering over his words he may as well have been in a 90s Hugh Grant rom com 😂😂
Don't even get me started on the finale, which has every character except Loki and Mobius basically living their ideal life while the two of them are clearly left unfulfilled and wanting, missing each other to the point Mobius leaves the TVA (which exists out of time) for a timeline that Loki can see as a tear rolls down Loki's face in the final scene because of it.
Do I think that had their characters been tied to anyone but the Disney/Marvel corporations they, like Aziraphale and Crowley, would've shared a kiss as well? Absolutely yes, but that isn't a necessity for me personally and in all honesty despite Aziraphale and Crowley having kissed I actually felt season 2 of Good Omens was a massive backtrack for their relationship compared to the quality of time they spent together in season 1 which I much preferred. Again, that's personal preference and everyone sees and interprets elements of romance differently which is completely fine and I hope this wild ramble at least gave some perspective on how I and many others view Lokius 😂💖 Happy watching, no matter how you end up viewing them, and thank you again for the ask!
#apologies for the delay in reply but it took me a good long while to kind of put into words how personal this ask was for me??#especially when taking good omens in mind#everything about the understanding and challenge and love and growth and devotion i showed up for and wanted in aziraphale/crowley#all of it and more is what i found in lokius and they've been the most wonderfully unexpected surprise of my life tbh#(i'm sorry this answer became so long but also not because i could've easily gone on three times as long lol)#hope this helped a bit and that you have a wonderful week 💖#ask#loki spoilers#only tagging because i've got pretty much the whole plot in there lmao

theres something so augh about it whenever gale goes "may it please mystra". how much of it is habit and how much is he still saying it out of genuine devotion.
#out of spell slots / ooc.#the game doesnt really specify it but i do think he considers himself mystran (religion) as well as#a personal servant of mystra (chosen). former or otherwise.#the two are obviously different but hes spent the majority of his life devoted to her on several levels#somebody: do you think that maybe you should try to Unpack all that a little bit#gale vc: 😌 idk what you mean (has a delayed trauma response and massively overcorrects/goes off the deep end in act 2/3)

February 16, 2024 - Exhortation
Satan is seeking after your time and is diligently working to delay you, believing that by stealing your days, years, and even decades, it will be too late for you to fulfill your Christ calling. However, he is gravely mistaken! For your times are in God's hands. He is the Redeemer of time and the Restorer of years.
Paul wrote, "Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time" (Colossians 4:5). The word "time" in the Greek is the word "kairos," meaning "time," "season," "opportunity," "due measure," or "right time."
This is the turning point for you to seize what was lost and retrieve those squandered opportunities, for they are now within your grasp. It is the Lord, the Restorer of time, who will make this possible. He is causing such a divine acceleration on this surge, and you will catch up to the plans He has laid out for you as if no time had ever slipped away. Did He not say in His Word, "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron" (Isaiah 45:2)?
God is the only one who can make crooked places straight. He alone can reverse poor choices, restore lost years, and give back missed opportunities. This is who He is and what He is doing for you!

The age old question of should I get a new phone before or after my current one explodes in my hands
#i don't think I've ever prepurchased a new phone actually. it was always a catastrophic end#i mean I am very devoted to literally running things into the ground#but this phone is showing enough signs that I feel like I'm only delaying the inevitable

Do you think men critiqued the images and monuments of the preeminent toga wearers of the republic like they do with Scorsese and Nolan today
#LO! you do me honor in your assumption of taste and masculinity due to the image of conquest hung proudly in hallways#of course fellow citizen. like mind recognizes another deep in thought with consciousness.#those who turn to Antony tempted by glowing visage only delay the lowering of their moral blundaries and devotion to duty.

nah cause why was bain getting traded sorta the better outcome
hes not dying and he would probably be saved earlier and the torture would probably (take this with a grain of salt) be less brutal
the downside (aka the yumy angst) is garrett seeing bain’s face and if the crew is slow enough having his face plastered everywhere + the humiliation of having to stand trial
Remember that stealing the coffers might not work! They probably upped their security so the dentist actually has them all at this point—they’ll need to steal the obsidian plate to gain any sort of leverage regarding the Secret… the Dentist might do something drastic. The Henry’s Rock mission will probably fail and all of them will die but oh well 👀
Bain would be unable to help mostly because he’s hurting and recovering. Time waits for nobody though. In the variant where bain is rescued from the hospital, things are a lot better for him, even though he’s pretty much down for awhile. Get rolled in a heist, check on Bain in spare time. Pretty nice. Bain doesn’t like to be confined to bed rest, a few ppl should stay with him at all times so that he’s okay. Bain trying his best with the eye contact stuff, he’s still scared of people looking at him. He struggles with this, mainly. He’s getting used to his gang looking at him without malice in their eyes. He can barely look up, and he’s frustrated with himself because of it.
Also. Maybe the gang doesn’t know that the trade is happening since the emails are top secret. First time they figure it out in when it’s on the news aaaannndd Bain is going to jail for processing. It’s not too different from his prison on that island. No privacy and torment, basically. Hey, but a lot of people get to meet him…? Bain doesn’t betray other criminals often, so they’d probably be staring at him like “wowww that’s actually the guy huh”
aaannddd then Bain would annihilate the first dude who tries to attack him. Teach that guy a lesson. I’m betting that the Kataru know that Bain could outpace the people in that jail so he’s practically safe from being shanked 😭
Once he’s forced to get over the mortifying ordeal of being known. By literally everybody. He’s also prickly if he makes it out. Whole point of his operation is him sticking to the shadows. World has an apb out for this man, and anything he does isn’t gonna free him for long. Can’t ever live in peace. Even with Dallas being notorious, the FBI seemingly kept his face confidential. (I honestly couldn’t imagine why)
On the plus side, Bain doesn’t get nerfed! Bro has both of his eyes! (The Dentist stabbed out an eye near the end of his imprisonment in canon. Only way I could guess that is because Bain’s wound is bleeding profusely… the Dentist stabbed his eye down into his optic nerve, blinding him on that side for good. And then he didn’t give him much in the way of medical attention, all the fighting must’ve made him bleed again.)
Bain loves his crew more than anything, so in both variants he’d eventually be okay… if he isn’t forced to watch his team all die while trying to get the coffers in Henry’s Rock… while Bain is unable to do anything to help… otherwise, Bain finds happiness somehow. As long as his gang is alive and happy, then Bain can be happy too.
Even if he’s in the variant where there’s no rest for the wicked ;)
#sorry for delay I got sick. twice#ask tag#ayaaaayyy#payday 2 spoilers#Hehehe cool anon#featuring: Bain’s eternal devotion#he loves his team very much. this is one of his core character traits#thanks for ask

Cregan Stark - Devotion
Summary - Cregan's obsession with his wife is obvious, constantly showering her with affection and praise, making sure she always feels his unwavering devotion. Even amidst the grandeur of her brother's wedding, he struggles to restrain himself, after all, she is his, forever and always.
Pairing - Cregan Stark x Strong reader
Warnings - Sexual content (smut!)
Word count - 2302
Masterlist for Cregan • House of the Dragon General Masterlist.
"You look absolutely beautiful," he murmured, his breath warm against my cheek as his face hovered inches from mine. I smiled, a faint blush spreading across my cheeks at his intimate compliment.
His arms wrapped around me from behind, the touch both reassuring and affectionate.
I was dressed in a delicate grey gown, chosen for its simplicity and ease of travel. It was perfect for our journey to Dragonstone, where we were to attend the wedding of my brother Jace and his betrothed, Baela.
Despite its understated elegance, the dress shimmered subtly, catching the light as I moved.
"I've been told," I whispered, leaning back to place a soft kiss on his cheek.
Cregan was never shy with his affections, always finding ways to remind me daily of how much he cherished me. His compliments were a constant comfort, his words a balm to my heart.
"Now, come," I said, slipping my hand into his. "We must hurry. I do not wish to delay our travels any longer." The excitement in my voice was palpable, a mixture of anticipation and eagerness to reunite with my family.
The journey, which usually took around a month had been shortened to just under three weeks, thanks to my fervent eagerness to reach Dragonstone.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the rugged coastline, Dragonstone emerged from the mist like a majestic sentinel. The castle's towering spires and weathered stone walls loomed against the fading light, blurred into a series of excited memories as we approached.
As we finally arrived, the sight of my mother waiting for us was like a beacon. Her face lit up with the brightest smile, a warmth that instantly melted away any lingering fatigue from our travels.
"Your Grace," I greeted, my own smile matching hers.
"Come here," she whispered, her arms opening wide.
She enfolded me in a long, tender hug, holding me as if she could keep me forever. When she finally drew back, her hands gently cupped my face, her touch a soothing balm.
"I have missed you dearly," she said, her voice a soft murmur that wrapped around my heart like a comforting embrace.
Her gaze softened as she placed a gentle hand on my stomach, a radiant smile lighting up her face.
"You're going to be an incredible mother," she murmured, her words brimming with affection. I smiled widely in response, the news still fresh in my mind. The maester in Winterfell had said I was barely a moon along, now, after our journey, it was almost two moons.
Jace was next. As I moved towards him, he pulled me into a hug so tight that I could hardly breathe.
"I trust you would like your sister and niece or nephew alive?" I joked, my voice muffled against his shoulder.
He chuckled, loosening his grip with a sheepish grin as his eyes wandered to my still-hidden belly, where the babe was growing though not yet visible.
Turning to Baela, I found her beaming at me with a warmth that matched her smile. "The beautiful bride," I murmured, drawing her into a hug as well.
"Where are the little ones?" I asked, glancing around for my younger brothers, eager to see them.
"Inside, eagerly waiting to greet their older sister," Rhaenyra replied, linking her arm with mine. Her voice was filled with the same warmth that defined our family's gatherings.
I looked back at Cregan, who stood nearby, his face alight with the joy of the reunion. The sparkle in his eyes reflected the enchantment he felt witnessing these heartfelt moments.
I beckoned him towards me with a smile, and he moved to my side, walking in step with me as we proceeded together.
��── ✦⋅♡⋅✦ ───
I thanked the handmaidens as they finished dressing me, their hands moving with practised grace as they adjusted the final details of my attire. The red and black beaded gown I wore was nothing short of ethereal.
The delicate beadwork shimmered in the candlelight, and the sheer material, coupled with the plunging neckline, made me feel both beautiful and slightly hesitant.
The gown was daring, exposing more skin than I was accustomed to, and the subtle curve of my barely visible bump was hidden beneath the fabric.
"Gods be good," a deep voice mumbled from behind me. I turned to find my husband standing in the doorway, his jaw dropped and his eyes wide as they roved over me.
"Is it okay?" I asked, my voice tinged with uncertainty. His silence stretched on, and I shifted nervously, my fingers playing with a strand of my hair before settling on my stomach.
"I know, I think it looks rather scandalous. Perhaps I should change," I rushed out, my insecurities bubbling to the surface.
Before I could move, he closed the distance between us in quick strides, taking my hands in his.
"You, my sweet wife, are a vision," he began, his voice filled with awe. "The epitome of grace and beauty." His hands moved gently up and down my arms, his touch soothing my nerves. His fingers then traced the curve of my stomach with a tender reverence.
"I can already tell that our little one will be as beautiful as their mother," he added, his eyes soft with affection.
I visibly relaxed under his tender attention.
"A true dragon, in dragon colours," he continued, his fingers brushing lightly down the exposed skin of my chest. The heat of his touch sent a shiver through me, and I felt my breath catch in my throat.
I grabbed his hand, interlacing my fingers with his. "We should really be off. I do not wish to miss a moment of the celebration," I said, my voice soft but firm.
He exhaled deeply, stepping back as if he had to physically restrain himself from drawing me closer.
"Of course," he murmured, a mix of longing and admiration in his eyes.
He offered his arm, and I took it, the touch of his hand a comforting anchor as we made our way towards the grand hall where the celebration awaited.
The wedding was grand, a magnificent celebration to commemorate the union of Jace and Baela. The air was thick with the mingling scents of fresh flowers and the rich aroma of roasted meats. Laughter and music swirled around us, a living, breathing entity that seemed to pulse with the energy of celebration.
The festivities stretched late into the night, with joy, melodies, and merriment filling every corner.
Amidst the revelry, I noticed Cregan growing increasingly fidgety, his usual composed demeanour slipping.
As the musicians struck up a lively tune, we took to the dance floor. His hands gripped my waist firmly, and I wrapped mine around his neck, feeling the tension radiating from his body.
"Are you alright?" I asked, tilting my head slightly to catch his gaze. He took a deep breath, nodding, though his eyes betrayed his unease.
I placed a hand on his chest, furrowing my brows in concern. "Please tell me if something is bothering you," I urged softly, wanting to ease his distress.
He leaned closer, his voice low and intimate, sending a shiver down my spine.
"I do not think I can restrain myself any longer," he confessed, his hands travelling up and down my sides with a possessive urgency.
"I need you," he murmured, his tone tinged with a desperate whine. "Please."
His words and the intensity of his touch sent a wave of heat pooling between my legs. I bit my lip, struggling to maintain my composure as my own desire mirrored his.
"Lead the way," I whispered, giving in to the need that coursed through me. A victorious glint sparked in his eyes as he stepped back, taking my hand and rushing us toward my chambers.
Once inside, the door barely closed behind us before Cregan's lips were on mine, his kiss urgent and demanding. His hands roamed over my body, pulling me closer as if he couldn't bear even a moment's distance between us.
My fingers tangled in his hair, matching his fervour as our bodies pressed together. The weight of the evening's formality melted away, leaving only the raw, unrestrained need we felt for each other. He backed me toward the bed, his lips never leaving mine, and we fell onto the soft covers in a tangle of limbs and desire.
"I've wanted you all night," he breathed against my neck, his voice a ragged whisper. "Seeing you in that gown, so beautiful, so perfect... I couldn't think of anything else."
"Now I want it off," he growled, tugging at the material. I laughed, gently pushing him back as I carefully slipped out of the dress, placing it aside with deliberate care.
"Have me then," I teased, my voice low and inviting, leaving myself naked and exposed before him.
"I will," he promised, his eyes burning with an intense desire. He quickly discarded his own clothes, his movements hurried and eager, not wanting to waste another moment.
I scooted back on the bed, watching as he knelt before me, his gaze locked onto mine with a fervour that made my heart race. His hands slid up my legs, the warmth of his touch igniting a fire within me.
"You're breathtaking," he murmured, his voice filled with awe as his fingers traced the curves of my body. "Every inch of you."
His words sent a flush of heat through me, and I arched into his touch, craving more. He leaned in, his lips finding mine in a searing kiss that left me breathless. His hands continued their exploration, each touch leaving a trail of burning desire in its wake.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him closer as our bodies pressed together.
"Cregan," I moaned softly as his lips travelled down my neck, leaving a path of fire in their wake.
"I need you," he whispered against my skin, his voice thick with desire. "I need all of you."
"Take me," I replied, my voice barely more than a breathy plea. "I'm yours."
My words were all the confirmation he needed. He adjusted himself, positioning his body above mine, his eyes locked onto mine with an intensity that made my heart race.
Slowly, deliberately, he entered me, his movements controlled and purposeful. A soft groan escaped my lips as he filled me, the sensation overwhelming and intoxicating.
He started with a slow, measured rhythm, each thrust deliberate and deep. His eyes never left mine, the connection between us palpable and electric. I clung to him, my fingers digging into his shoulders as I arched my back, meeting each of his movements with my own.
The pleasure built gradually, a slow burn that intensified with each passing moment.
As the heat between us grew, his pace began to quicken. His thrusts became more urgent, more desperate as if he couldn't get enough of me. The room was filled with the sounds of our lovemaking, soft moans, breathless gasps, and the rhythmic slap of skin against skin.
"Cregan," I moaned, my voice barely a whisper, filled with raw need.
His hand moved from my legs to the sensitive spot between us, his fingers finding my clit with practised ease. "Cum for me, princess," he groaned, his voice a deep, gravelly command.
The sensation of him inside me, the feel of his body moving against mine, combined with the skilled movement of his hand, sent electric shocks of pleasure through my entire being.
My eyes rolled back, lost in the overwhelming ecstasy that built within me.
With a final, deliberate thrust, the cord in my stomach snapped. I cried out, the pleasure crashing over me like a tidal wave. My body convulsed, shuddering as the orgasm tore through me, his name a desperate plea on my lips.
Cregan followed soon after, his own release leaving him breathless and trembling.
As the waves of pleasure subsided, we lay together in the aftermath, our bodies still entwined, slick with sweat and the remnants of our passion. He held me close, his arms wrapped protectively around me as if he never wanted to let go.
"We should return," I said, attempting to pull myself away from Cregan's embrace. "Cregan, come on," I added, laughing as he finally relented.
He helped me get dressed, his hands lingering for a moment longer than necessary, savouring the feel of the gown's fabric against my skin.
Once I was clothed, I smoothed down my hair, trying to make myself look presentable despite the flush in my cheeks and the sparkle in my eyes.
Hand in hand, we made our way back to the celebrations. The laughter and music seemed brighter, more vibrant, as if our shared moment had infused the celebration with a deeper sense of joy.
"There you are," Rhaenyra said, her eyes lighting up as she saw us approaching. I could feel the heat rising to my cheeks, and I nervously giggled, trying my hardest to keep our recent activities a secret.
"I needed a moment to myself," I lied, patting my stomach and hoping my mother wouldn't notice the lingering flush on my face or the slight dishevelment of my hair. I settled into my seat, Cregan sitting close beside me.
My eyes met Cregan's, and he gave me a knowing smile, his hand finding mine under the table.
"Are you enjoying yourselves?" she asked, her gaze flicking between me and Cregan.
"Very much," Cregan replied, his voice warm and genuine. "It's a beautiful celebration."
My mother nodded, satisfied with his response. "It is," she agreed, her eyes softening as she looked at me. "I'm glad you're here."
I leaned into Cregan, feeling the warmth of his presence beside me. His eyes met mine, and a wide grin spread across his face.
"I love you," he whispered, his voice filled with a fierce tenderness that made my heart swell. "I will always love you."
"I love you too," I replied, my voice equally soft and sincere. "Forever and always."
