Thank you so much for your reply 🌸🩵 It's very nice to get a return from the author of your favorite fanfiction.

As for the requests, I'm sorry, I sent the question right after I finished reading the epilogue and was so excited that you were open to interactions that I didn't even read the pinned post.

"day 1: search party/panic attack"+ "Some of Them" . Maybe something about Gordon in the Bad!Verse — I really like it, I think this is my request for you. Something like the Commissioner is so seriously injured and the good Batman takes him away from himself to help. Gordon wakes up in the Wayne Manor of the good universe and there is a lot of misunderstanding.

1 — the way I see it, before become a donor Alt!Tim underwent an intensive course of recovery and general health promotion.And oh, I'm really sorry if it made you feel like you weren't comfortable.

2 — Yes shortie sounds good. And what if Alt Tim is a trance, and the other!Tim is not? Alt Damian will really experience so many difficult feelings.

Thank you for contacting me

I love talking about my fics haha :)

Many things I leave out.

Oops I forgot day 1+2 were taken, hold a sec, I'll edit it so you'll know what's open 😬

(I do have a start about Gordon after good!bat leave. Ambiguous ending.)

1- cancer isn't really my jam. Though I don't mind writing hospital/medical issues.

2 - You just made me go down a MASSIVE rabbit hole 😭😭. Will a Timkon bb be jewish? And general שו"ת about cloning. It's actually fascinating, and relay on Hilchatic discussions from the Talmud era (2nd-3rd century). Also read about "Are mermaids human or fish and can you eat them?" (Apparently Hilchaticly speaking, they are considered non-kosher fish).

I.... got sidetracked, as you can see.

But yeah, feel free to add more about Timkon bb!! (A baby girl)

At the Shiva for Eliyahu HY"D

Tonight I visited the shiva for 19-year-old Eliyahu Avraham Bernstein HY"D, one of the 1300 Israelis sadistically massacred by Hamas terrorists this Simchat Torah.

I ended up at the Bayit-Vegan home of this family I'd never met because my soldier-daughter was concerned that this Charedi family whose son had chosen a different path would need extra chizuk. Who would comfort these poor parents? So she sent me...

My daughter needn't have been concerned that there would be a lack of visitors, the shiva was full of comforters, including the Sephardi Chief Rabbi.

And my daughter was also mistaken regarding who would give chizuk to whom at this shiva. Instead of comforting Hadassah, the remarkable mother who'd just lost her beloved son, the oldest of her 10 children, she comforted us. Hadassah's emuna glow, beauty-of-holiness reminded me of Devora Paley, the mother of Yaakov and Asher HY"D, who comforted and united an entire nation following her family's unfathomable tragedy.

About 10 minutes after I arrived, out of the crowd of comforters Hadassah looked straight at me and asked, "And who are you? Where did you come from?"

So I sat down next to her, and she told me about her Eliyahu:

"As a child in the Belzer cheider, Eliyahu's rebbe said he was an ilui. He loved learning Torah.

"I had a special connection with Eliyahu. He was my oldest child, how could I not? When he was missing, we were already davening, and when I told Eliyahu's younger siblings that their beloved oldest brother had died sanctifying Hashem's name, they were inconsolable.

"And since he's like this [she points to the photo of Eliyahu with long hair] I was even more connected with him. I wasn't connected to him despite the fact that he's like this, but because he's like this. This is the way he could get to his true self. And the more he was his true self, the more he could express his greatness. It's important to learn Torah, to do teshuva, but with Eliyahu, I feel like he was was already incredible, just incredible. And even when I would pray for him [that he would return to religion] I thought, "But he's already a wonder, with so many talents, but even more than being talented he had his huge smile with those big dimples. And he was so connected to the home, so connected to the family. And that's not something to take for granted, at all."

May Hashem bless this beautiful, broken family with comfort among the countless mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. Amen.

Vayishlach - 09.12.2022

Bs"D

Yaakov's Anxiety

"Yaakov was greatly frightened; in his anxiety, he divided the people with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two camps" (Bereshis 32:8).

Why would one of the forefathers of Klal Yisroel show anxiety? The biblical forefathers are supposed to be beacons of emuna and bitachon. Chizkuni answers our question, referencing Midrash (Chizkuni on Bereshis 32:8:1)

"...you may well ask that after Yaakov had been met by angels, as we read at the end of the last portion, and these angels were clearly meant to protect him, what did he have to worry about? This obvious question is answered by our sages by explaining that one of these angels was Michael, Yaakov’s protective angel, whereas the second one was Samael, Esau’s angel. Knowing this, Yaakov had no way of knowing which of these two angels was more powerful. This is why he became very fearful." The source of the names of the angels appears to be Bereshis Rabba 78.

Who are Michael and Samael? Michael, Yaakov's angel, is the personification of Chesed. He is named for the first time in Sefer Daniel. Samael, Eisav's angel, is mentioned frequently in Midrash and kabbalistic texts, known for a multitude of reasons - all negative. Samael is known as the Yetzer HaRa, the prosecuting angel for Yaakov and all Israel. In fact, in Sefer HaBahir (Chp. 200) it is revealed that Samael came down in the form of the serpent in order to trick Adam HaRishon. The punishment for this action was to become the guardian of Eisav, an evil man.

Yaakov's fear was not of Eisav himself, but of his guardian, Samael - who was also Yaakov's accuser. Sefer HaChinuch 3:2 references that Samael's intention was to wipe out Yaakov - him, and his descendants - but due to Yaakov's great righteousness, he could not. Instead, Yaakov is injured in the hip - the 'Gid HaNashe'

To note - we do not pronounce the name of Samael, instead calling it "Samech Mem", a custom recorded by R' Chaim Vital and the AriZal's Taamei Hamitzvot (end of Parshat Vayechi)

To read more about this, see the link below:

The Sole Negative Commandment in the Parsha

When Yaakov fights the Malach, he is injured - the 'gid hanashe' is damaged. This translates to the sciatic nerve, hence the halachic prohibition on consuming the sciatic nerve itself (Bereshis 32:33). In Ashkenazi communities today even the rear of the animal is not eaten, as we do not have a mesorah on the removal of the nerve itself. This is codified into halacha in Sefer HaChinuch 3:1;

"Not to eat the sciatic nerve: [Parshat] Vayishlach has one negative commandment, and it is the prohibition of [eating] the sciatic nerve; as it is stated (Genesis 32:33), "Therefore the Children of Israel shall not eat the sciatic nerve." And this [phrase] "they shall not eat" is not to be taken as part of the story, to mean that because this event occurred to [our] forefather, [we, his] descendants refrain from eating that nerve. Rather, it is a warning (prohibition) of God that they shall not eat it."

"Take care of your soul as you take care of your body"

-Rab. Yonatan Galed

[onmymasa22]

Anxiety is carried on in genes. When a few generations ago, your ancestors were running for their lives. Their body was running at their most optimal for survival. It wasn't called anxiety, it was, waking up and trying your hardest to live. It was a nightmare of death everywhere, living on no medecine or food or comfort. Its trying to live when the world is falling apart. What happens is, the "living to the the highest capacity to survive" stays in the system. So what happems when someone feels like the world is falling apart and your body is running just to survive but everything around you is ok. You arent in danger, but your body and mind are sending signals thst youre in danger. Anxiety is when you feel like the world is falling apart and you are fighting for your life

Inwant to wear my hair in a mitpachatbwith my hair in a bun. So people can see the color but not what it looks like. With a headband type thing. Curls coming down the sides of my face, a messy bun. I want piercings. I want 4 on eaxh lobe and conches

This past year, for volunteering that was required of me, I helped teach a cooking class to older folk with mental health issues that rendered them over 40 percent disabled, everyone for a different issue including ocd, manic depression, schizophrenia, dementia, slowness, tourettes, and more. I started there because i had to, but i fell in love with it. I realized how much i love dealing with these adults. I love who i am when im around them.

I've never really gotten ginger hate... all I've had is creepy people tell me they really like redheads... and i dont really know what to do with that information... it honestly annoys me when ppl talk about it cuz it's obvious, and not really in my control. I don't go around talking about being in a room with left handed people or complimenting their left handedness, or that their earlobes have the perfect amount of attatchedness to their face. I feel like that'd be weird... i will however start doing that now...

I dont really like talking about where im from or about my hair or my name.

Having friends who geek out over sci fi or fantasy books made me think that i

Its raining which means we're in a cooking baking vibe: pita, cream cheese, sriracha mayo sauce, onion and mushroom with too much butter, tomato, sunny side up but flipped over eggs.

When i have kids, im so gonna tell them stuff that'll keep their preeschool teachers on their toes

Me: "you saw daddy go up the stairs? Yah? Do u know where he went? He went to China. But he'll be back in a few minutes."

Getting diagnosed with adhd was a blessing. Because it made it easier to address my shortcommimgs. The one that had the most affect of me was emotional dysregulation.

I need this about being a red head... yes, i know I'm a readhead. Don't call me "gingy" unless you use a french accent. Yes I know it's rare, no it's not dyed. Yes I have a soul. No I don't care that you realllly like readheads. No I don't care that that you always wanted to be one. No I don't classify you as a member if yours is dyed. Yes I know that this shirt is "my color". Yes, i tan and get freckles in the summer on my cheek and nose. Yes I know that "im an enigma".

, and yah, i know how rare it is. No its not dyed, its natural. Yes i have a soul. Yes i know you cant get this color from a bottle. Yes i know it looks cool when i wear green. No, the line "I like readheads" doesn't work on me. This has been a wonderful conversation. Have a lovely day

Hi, it's Dalya from Michelet Emuna. I'm going to write in English because I want to make sure I fully express myself, I hope you don't mind. Two years later, I finally painted the landscape. Honestly, when you gave us this assignment I was scared. I felt like- ask me to draw an apple that I'm looking at and I'll draw it 20 times. But ask me to draw something from my mind? I had no idea how, and my imagination felt like a scary black hole. As if you were asking me to paint air. This summer, I wanted to paint what I think Gan Eden looks like, and I started with painting two trees (because every tree needs a friend, and also one for the tree of life and one for tree of knowledge) and I ended up painting this whole landscape with more ease than I expected. I'm shocked but also proud that I painted for the first time, an oil painting, entirely from imagination. I'm just so proud of myself, and I want to thank you for being such a good teacher in my process. I didn't forget the assignment, I just wasn't ready at the time yet. And I am now, and it feels incredible. Whether this is a good landscape painting is a different conversation, but I'm happy that I arrived to this point in my learning. And I just wanted to say all of this.

When a best friend says she found a new show- gilmore girls and she misses you so much, shes been watching it just to feel like she's with you... and ur like "right?! I'm such a Lorelai, it's not even funny!" If lorelai and pheobe and a golden retreiver and a plant all somehow put their genes into one being, im that being. Anyone whoI'm either drinking coffee, playing guitar, on a walk, or in the shower.

New people: So what are you like?

Me: I'm pretty much somewhere between a dog and a plant. Like if Pheobe, Lorelai, a golden retriever, and a plant somehow got together and created a human, I'd be that human. Cuz everyone around me knows- I'm either drinking coffee, playing guitar, on a walk, sitting in the sun, or in the shower. I'm not hard to figure out. Everyone knows where to find me at all times. And I like it like that.

Anyone else always have the worst timing? My timing is having tge sane bed my whole life, then two weeks before i leave the country for who knows how long, getting a new one. Buying a wine glass two days before packing up my life. Spending a month not knowing what to do for an assignment, then figuring something out and winging out. Eating a special brownie the day before flying. Buying a huge canvas two weeks before leaving. I'm a cerial bad timing, but "you only die once" person. Bad timing but i cant help myself. I read something that said "show up

What people see:

The nicest girl in the room. The girl who is yellow in a person. Who makes soup when her friends are sick, who has compassion on and empathy for everyone. Who thrives on making people happy. Who will make herself an absolute fool to make others smile. She is a goofball at times and incredibly deep. She loves hard but will understand that you need to do you. She doesn't judge. She is beautiful inside and out and she brightens every room she walks into. She is a fireball, a sparkler. She is mgic.

What people dont see:

She knows what its like to not be the favorite grandchild. To not be the favorite niece. To not be liked or loved for who she is. She knows what its like to be in so much pain that she inflics it on herself, just to feel balanced. Like her outsides match her insides. She knows what its like to be called ugly, or nasty, to be yelled at, to be embarrassed infront of a multitude of people. She knows what its like to pray for the end of it all. Ske knows what its like to sleep in the street, throwing up, at rock bottom because she has no where else to go. She knows what its like to fight her brain to live. She knows what its like to choose life.

I want to do something on the tree of life. Something about covering everything- gan eden, trees, family, and how raw and hurt it is for me. Going from not choosing life and ketamine to choosing life, being offered cocaine, amd saying no, coming home, and eating chocolate cake. Seeing the boy who died on the bus.

Anyone else buy a monster sized canvas

So at the end of this last school year, this famous israeli artist started talking to me and asked me "what changed for you between the first year of your studies to now?" I answered something like how at the beginning, everything was so new and exciting. You know, u go from corona, to living in Jerusalem, learning to draw and oil paint from a sweet master on the top floor with windows, wood paneling, and easles everywhere. I was in burn out last year. From stupid classes, teachers, and assignments, and a year that solidified my elephant skin, i was a little numb to school. But now, its summer and my answer would be- what changed is that in the first year, i produced according to assignments. I might have manipulated the assignment, but i needed the assignment to help me produce something. This past third year, the assignments hindered me. And when i look at the year, my best works came from the classes that didnt have assignments. Where no one told me, thats great but u should do this instead. I had a need to do what was in my head depending on my energy and material. And i could just go. This summer, I made the art that i wanted and needed to. And maybe thats how i know whether i can stand as an artist. Without the assignment, can i still paint and draw and make? If u can, congratz ur an artist. If not, ull pass art school, and good luck w life but maybe ur not an artist. So im flying back to israel in two weeks, and i went to good will and bought a huge canvas. And it doesn't scare me enough to debilitate me. I just decided that i want it to be an oil pastel and i need to prep it and find something that fits that. But thats what changed. I dont need an assignment anymore, and im not scared of my mind. The first year, i couldnt do anything from imagination. Ask me to draw an apple that i see i can do it twenty times. Ask me to make up a landscape in my head, and it just happens.

Now i feel like im an artist. I dont need assignments. Assignments take me away from what im supposed to be doing. And it creates burn out. I dont need someones ideas for me to produce something. I dont have a style.
