Prayer of the Day

Dear Lord, I come before You seeking the tranquility that only You can provide. Help me to cultivate a peaceful environment in my heart and surroundings, as I explore the deeper aspects of peace in my life. May Your Word guide me to create harmony within and around me, as I embrace forgiveness and mindfulness.

Thank You for Your constant presence. I trust that through prayer and reflection, I will find the inner peace I long for. AMEN.

We all thought Odysseus was gonna become a monster amongst men.

Never did we consider that he'd become a monster to a god.

Genuine question as I am curious — I know it’s pretty obvious with his expressions/ body language that Daniel seemed shy/insecure(?) about having his braces, but has he ever outright said anything about feeling that way with them? Just out of curiosity as I am new around here!

“I feel very different in terms of looks. Fortunately, experience also bought me better looks. I’m not really too fond of showing people photos of me when I was younger”

I realized that asking myself why am I doing something often makes me see and understand my possible triggers and issues. Whether is eg. commenting on something in a certain way or behaving in another, especially to please/follow others (without realizing, we do search for confirmations/validations, acceptance, salvation and love more often than we realize and in the smallest things; it's not bad per se at all, it's human need, but we have to be aware of it all and accept it, so to search for it in the right places while not neglecting too much our own beliefs and values or at least, we need to know that we're just momentarily saving ourselves by acting that way on our triggers/fears and not entirely renouncing to who we are and forgive ourselves). And this is helping me change my perspective on myself too, on how I can help myself more in particular. I'm not doing this to criticize myself more, at all: that cannot be the point. I'm trying to be kinder with my younger self as they only wanted to feel safe and loved as much as I do now. I only want to accept myself more, even the so called "bad" sides (they're just hurt sides, and they cannot feel better if I keep pushing them away).

Ofc done too often and too much only leads to stress and hyper vigilance which is not good, therefore I ask myself this question when I find out I act on autopilot, when I get stressed out, when I have a sudden *emotion-based* reaction that soon after I don't agree with or leaves me confused cause yes, triggers yk... And it often works looking at others too, seeing their triggers and reactions. And removing from those any possible meaning about me, just in case. Anyway, this way I am learning more about *my* emotions too and how I can accept them and feel them, allowing them some space to just be without judging them (and myself) too harshly. There's no perfection, no perfect way to act or be, and no way we can close off our emotions (and all the triggers) from our life... so we may just live, try to not worry too much and hug ourselves often and well. We're doing our best, and that's enough. The world is already harsh, let's be a bit more forgiving... with ourselves at least.

I swear the funniest thing antis will do is say "how can you ship Ghoulcy when he did xyz to her" and then in the next breath will turn and be like "anyways he sees/treats her as a daughter and he's gonna be her father figure." Oh I'm sorry, The Ghoul? You mean the same person you were just saying was so horrible to her? That Ghoul? You're cool with his actions now?

Like the things he did only get brought up when we ship them, as if it's not the same person they champion as her new dad. I understand if personally you don't like it when one half hurts the other in a ship (or when both do), that's completely fair, but I'm pretty sure no likes it either when a parent/parental figure does the same to their (surrogate) child, so like what's the math here 🤨

the thing is that jedus fans are like “vote jedus because it’s silly! wouldn’t it be funny if they won lol!!” meanwhile phannies are like “pleeassee vote phan. phil wants to win. they are actual soulmates, next to each other in life, ancient turtles, a ranch metaphor. they made me believe in love.” and not to take a tumblr.com rpf competition too seriously, but i hope true love prevails over a meme.

Something something Jason feeling like he doesn't quite fit as "Greek" or "Roman" as a metaphor for bisexuality, particularly the semi-canonical bi-coding in his half of experiences during the Cupid scene and how Favonius and Cupid speak to him in parallel to the scenes confirming Nico is gay.

Something something the camps as metaphors for traditionally acceptable forms of relationships and Nico living as a rogue outside of them, rejecting expectation (ergo in himself representing a metaphor of queer identity and living outside of boxes and defined/usually hetero-allonormative/binary ideas of what love/relationships should look like) versus Jason struggling with the expectation to conform to a label and even discussing with Nico both of them remaining at CHB together.

Something something the inverse of Jason shifting away from the camps after he breaks up with Piper, feeling lost and unable to find a place between the camps as he begins to explore his queer identity properly for the first time versus Nico only remaining at CHB because he has entered a relationship. In this essay I will-

“…injunctions to be slower to judge and quicker to forgive are good for maintaining relationships and improving mental health. Social media trains us to do the opposite. Judge quickly and publicly lest ye be judged for not judging whoever we are condemning today. Don’t forgive or your team will attack you as a traitor.”

Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking the tranquility that only You can provide. Help me to find peace in Your Word and to practice mindfulness in my daily life, allowing Your presence to calm my heart and guide my thoughts.

As I navigate through the challenges of life, grant me the strength to embrace forgiveness and create a peaceful environment around me. May I always turn to You in prayer, finding solace in Your love and grace. AMEN

No rizz, not even pretty but i did memorize Hyunas speech to Luka before she died😞😞😭😭

i feel like I've talked about this before but I wish blazblue dipped more into the horror of the situation. Whether you wanna go cosmic or existential both kind of work, though I guess the theme is a bit more despair than horror? Those two feel like they marry together pretty well.

Like. Think of CS. You have Noel, becoming what she always was, something inhuman. Literally screaming and crying after having the truth of the world and the PFDs revealed to her. You have Ragna, also learning the truth, and that he has tried so, so many times and failed every single time. You have Terumi, relishing in the hopelessness that should cause, yet being just as stuck as everyone else, and painfully aware that if he wants out of this hell, he has to claw his way out.

Idk, I just think there's a lot of stuff in blazblue that lends really well to horror. There's already themes about loss of autonomy, just play a little more into that, emphasize the helplessness before the Master Unit, and then the satisfaction of finally being free.

Hell, the Master Unit/Origin still is sympathetic in this interpretation. She's suffering, she's not doing anything out of malice, she just wants to be a person. Not even the Origin is immune to the horror of being a thing, strung up to watch and desperately try for another ending this time. This time, it'll work.

"Won't anyone save Lavellan from the horror story that is her romance with Solas? Where's her friends and family? 🥺"

Lavellan: if you see me become the dread wolf's controversially young gf DON'T save me and delete the callout posts. I'm exactly where I want to be and you're not going to ruin it for me

Good afternoon my pretties, I saw a request on the Archive of Terran info to see posts from Henri's private account!

This list covers about 2-3 playthroughs of his route, but alas does not have every post from every response covered. As I find time and ability to buy the subscription, I'll try to update this with more of his posts, possibly along with anything listed with [Image], so that those could be available too. :D

But for now, please enjoy the oh so secret thoughts of the coffee addicted, black bean burger making, silly boy Henri <3
