Zenothe

(Currently creating lore in my head for different universes/characters in Winx Club, so introducing the first out of three for Darcy's planet, that is not cannon but in my two fanfictions it is: Zenothe)

~Several Earth cultures have roots and influences from similar ones in the Magical Dimension, and the practice of modern-day witchcraft is one of them. In the year 58 A.D. (after the Great Dragon's descent onto the planet of Domino, therefore creating the Magic Dimension) several witches from Domino migrated to Earth to find peace, as at this time it was just found out that every witch had roots in a creature from Oscurita that had just been closed. Witches were also figuring out how to use their powers as no one knew how witch magic worked and that one must use negative emotions.

~When the Wizards of the Black Circle went to Tir Nan Og (all of the wizards were outcasted and wanted revenge on fairies) the witches left Earth, knowing that the fairies always hated them and that they didn't owe them anything.

~The witches then transported themselves to a dark planet that orbited Solaria's moon, which was uninhabited. It was dim most of the time and greyish, but still beautiful. It was completely empty and barren. One of the witches sacrificed her body for everyone else to perform a siphoning ritual that made plants begin to grow from her last life force and magic, and they have a holiday for this. (The Day of Life). The witch's name was Ruse, hence the Grimore of Ruse, where all the main laws of Zenothe are kept

~The original witches (originally from Domino) created a small altar with a dark flame, known as the lifeblood of Zenothe considering it has none as it was dead before they arrived. Domino's lifeblood is the Great Dragon, Solaria's in the three suns, etc.

~They began to build the towns there using the trees around the area and soon built a good place. Over the years to the current day, it hasn't changed much, but they've added some more technology to their lives.

~Eventually, word got out and witches who were also disliked went to Zenothe and soon the population grew. They practiced their traditions in peace and were sort of outcasted from the rest of the Magical Dimension, though trade deals are still substantial between Zenothe and Linfea.

~Zenothe is prosperous in ore, rare plants for potions and rituals, and animals for meat and whatnot (and... also rituals lol). Linfea is prosperous in plants, produce and plants that need a lot of sunlight but does not have any ore.

~Any faries or specialists who want to live there are welcome, but it is common courtesy across the Magical Dimension to respect the customs of the planets one visits. As long as you follow Zenothian customs---outlaid in the Grimore of Ruse.

~However, the Grimoire can be added to as long as it is negotiated with the citizens and the coven heads. You'll be fine and welcome if you come to Zenothe, but if you don't purposfully follow customs then expect glares. The same goes for other planets anyway

~(Population: 89% witches, 6% specialists/wizards, 5% faries)

~Grimore of Ruse: 15 Zenothian Customs, one created by each of the 15 witches that first arrived at Zenothe from Domino. But other witches came to Zenothe afterwards so no incest occurred. Also, someone from specific planets can request a Zenothian trail before the Coven Heads.

~The ones with this agreement are Linfea/Zenothe and are allowed to request trials from each other, but in the current day (after my story S.S.S. when the Shaman Witch is defeated and everyone relatively goes back to their lives) planets such as Solaria and Diamond are trying to form trade alliances.

~Solaria for rare plantlife that doesn't grow in the sun, and Diamond for the same reason and animals because they are rebuilding thier ecosystem after the fall of the Shaman Witch and while Icy is crown princess.

~Grimoire of Ruse:

(From Ruse) Always respect the resources the land gives you; the magic, the plants, the animals, and all natural resources.

2. Treat all with respect to matter the past, present, or future. (May exclude the below if the act was purposful with no sign of mental damage).

3. Those charged with acts of sexual assualt if purposful and void of mental damage will be magically and perminantly circumcised no matter the sex.

4. Welcome all to Zenothe as long as customs are followed, and one has the responsability to follow the customs of the plants they go to.

5. The people have the right to overthrow the Coven heads if they choose to ignore the wishes of the people/ignore the Grimore of Ruse and call for a re-election.

6. The people have the right to free speech, religion, and freedom of action as long as one does not abuse this right to make others feel unwelcome/un-respected (which most people do not abuse this right.)

7. No matter the act all are entitled to a trail in front of the Coven Heads (basically the main covens are the government and sub-covens can be invited/requested/can request to be a part of a trail) and the people of Zenothe.

8. If part of a designated coven one must uphold the values of said coven or else face warnings (one is entitled to three unexcused warnings) or expulsion from the coven for a maximum of two years.

9. Magea (faries, specialists, witches, wizards, undines, pixies, etc) sacrifices are illegal unless facing life or death circumstances and the act is voluntary. Creature (the word animal isn't used in the Magical Dimension) sacrifices are only legal if necessary and approved by Coven Cervus and all its members, as well as Coven Tempus. (More information about the covens is later on)

10. Complete eradication of any plant or animal species (if under one's own control) will have the individual face banishment from Zenothe for 50 consecutive years.

11. One can be a part of multiple covens, though only a maximum of two head covens/one head coven and two sub-covens. Freelance covens do not fall under this category, though freelance covens are able to name themselves as representatives should a trial occur.

12. One can gain Zenothian citizenship if in residency for two years, if five citizens of Zenothe can vouch for one's character, and if one swears to follow the Grimore of Ruse when residing in Zenothe for the Zenothian customs may not apply to other planets.

13. All are welcome upon passing (excluding those who had committed one of the unspeakable crimes under thier own control, these said crimes shown below) to have thier magical essence removed from thier body and siphoned over to a pendulum to hang from the Tree of Life all years past thier death; to non-sentiently give wisdom to the citizens of Zenothe.

14. The unspeakable crimes are as follows (if acted under one's own control of self and magic and sane train of thought): s$xual @ssault, eradication of any plant or animal species, murd$r, any sort of @buse

15. Those who had committed any of the unspeakable crimes under thier own control and sane train of thought will have thier Zenothian citizenship permanently removed and may face additional charges as decided by the Head Covens and the citizens of Zenothe.

~Zenothe, like a lot of the Magical Dimension, does not unnecessarily gender things. Even Solaria or Erakleon does not require male royalty to wear suits and female royalty to wear dresses and gowns. More so only during large celebrations out of traditions for those two planets. But Domino and Diamond says fuck it. Let the queens wear suits and let's get Oritel in a dress.

~If things are like that on other planets it is because of tradition and not because of outright hate. Such as not wanting a prince to marry another prince as the bloodline must continue. But honestly, most planets will accept two princes marrying each other if they find a doner of a royal lineage. Erakleon and Andros are more strict on that and less lenient because of tradition, but some people are just assholes it's not a planet-wide hate thing.

~As Zenothe runs on an electoral democracy (different powerful coven heads are elected and nominations for others can occur) monarchy and lineage means fuck all. Powerful witches with powerful lineages are still respected, but they have a belief that power can always be developed and that everyone is valued.

~There are five primary covens that oversee different aspects, and the coven heads receive applications for the covens and normally open any who are dedicated to putting the work into it.

Coven Viridis: Oversees the plant life of Zenothe and makes sure that no plant species are overused. Consists primarily of nature magea (mainly plant element, air element, ground element, along those lines)

2. Coven Cervus: Oversees the animal life of Zenothe, sets protections, healthy and ethical hunting. (Magea can be vegan, vegetarian, et cetera but just respect all. As long as you respect where the meat comes from). A sub-section of Coven Cervus is the Protectors (Darcy joins them later on after the events of S.S.S.) who research wildlife, new species, and dangerous species, and also stop them from getting too close to the several main settlements.

3. Coven Societas: Oversees meetings between covens/disputes that concern economics or societal structure. Makes sure the currency/pay rate is going well, watches over supply and demand and intervenes if needed.

4. Coven Homines: Oversees Coven Council meetings, Coven Head elections, how well the covens are functioning, school systems, and social programs. People stuff. Also suggestions to the Grimoire of Ruse along with the last coven.

5. Coven Tempus: Oversees the traditions/customs/events of Zenothe. Reads over the Grimore of Ruse, and suggestions to it but they can only happen if agreed by all five of the Covens and the people of Zenothe.

~One can be a part of a primary coven (or multiple but it's like a full-time job so it's not recommended, and yes, you get paid) and be part of a sub coven. Primary covens are funded by Coven Societas. Sub-covens are not named typically and are funded by grants from Coven Societas and donations, also pay a good amount but just a bit less.

~Zenothian Corpus Os (body bone, as until the trade deal with Linfea started they used bones from animals as currency) is the currency. They still use the name even though they use Linfean currency: Diya, small compressed coin-like disks of compressed plant waste/fossilized wood/other.

~The exchange rate between Diya/Corpus Os to Earth dollars is 5 U.S. dollars for every 1 Diya/Corpus Os. It has more value than the typical dollar and one can go to Coven Societas to cut some of thier Corpus Os in halves/quarters for smaller purchases.

~Primary Coven wage: 24 Corpus Os per day of satisfactory work. 9 am to 5 pm is one day of work, and one can request extra work/overtime. (Deemed satisfactory by the observer, with one in each group working within the coven.)

~Sub-Coven wage: 15 Corpus Os per day of satisfactory work. 10 am to 3 pm is one day of work, and one can request extra work/overtime up to two extra hours otherwise the sub-coven hours become primary coven hours, which have to be observed by one of the primary covens. Usually for those with two incomes/with children, which is why two combined is more than the primary coven wage because children do be expensive.

~Normal job wage: 21 Corpus Os per day (9 am to 5 pm) or 12 Corpus Os per day (10am to 3pm). It is not as organized and one can self-direct more, so it normally includes less work in a lot of cases. Normal jobs are not that common

~Since witches were too busy trying to find somewhere where they were not hated gender also means fuck all. Concepts of boys, girls, man, woman, not either, et cetera, and whatnot still exist in Zenothe but they're more of a term to express oneself instead of assigning a gender based on sex. Also, with sexual orientation people have preferences and typically you don't need a word for them, but honestly, you can have a word for it (migration between planets brings new words woohoo) or not and either way people will love you.

~Just depends on whether you want a label or not.

(Zenothe is top tier we love it.)

~So if you take someone from Zenothe, bring them to Earth, and someone rudely tells them girls must wear dresses (and that French genders literal ice cream as masculine) they'll generally be like "Why wtf?" and debunk every possible argument.

(More information regarding Zenothe and my headcanons for Winx Club hopefully will come soon)

(Genually I spent too long on this but eheh)

it's fine to keep dreaming. earth year 2005 a.d.

What I ate this morning… Right. I stole my brother Raj’s junky chocolate éclair for his own good. He tried to kill me, but Fernando held him back. After that, I went and spoke with Layla. She told me she couldn’t save me from Alejandro Caldera-Altaha. She’s so dramatic. All I wanted was a little hint for how annoying our exchange might be… Gatekeeping-ass seer.

I went to where Alejandro was—simply standing by the seashore! We are still vacationing by the City of the Starry-eyed, and much too close to the father I cannot stand. Why always this city? Not that I care for the plans of adults, even our fabled mentor’s, Kiyotaka Miura.

I didn’t wait. >:( I told Alejandro I’d throw his prize into the sea!

Do you know what he said? He smiled at me as he said it— “I fucking wondered if you would.”

I obviously—I obviously had to open my damn trap and say, “If you put it on my wrist for me, I’d have to wear it.”

“Why?” The one he names Alejandro—the one I have known for eras as Shakir—asked. “Because it’s something everyone expects.” “But would you suddenly want to?” Shakir sounded so curious—he is that kind of young man. “You just said you were going to drop it in the sea.” “Something like this… I’d hate it. You’re such an idiot. Still, if you—”

He said, “I would never do that.”

Alejandro Caldera knows, you see—we’re supposed friends, and nowhere near lovers. The world knows. Through our streams, those million eyes always… They’re always waiting for him to announce his beloved—Alia, or Khalida, or… Diego… No.

Anyway, I was an idiot and had to go and yell, “So what do you want me to do?”

He said, “I really thought you’d throw it into the sea. I feel like the girls—Alia or Konna or someone—would challenge me to a duel for daring to insinuate anything. Honestly, they’d just have killed me. Those journos really wouldn’t stop talking about them earlier during the interview… I couldn’t give it to Diego. It’d be way more awkward, considering how much they talked about meaning. I couldn’t—”

Alejandro really wouldn’t shut up. I can’t even inscribe half his ramble—I only memorized that much, and the rest was worse yak. He brought up Leo being unreachable and Fernando and how they’re not even close anymore and how he barely knows Maria—why are you even bringing her up, then!? What is wrong with you!? I had to yell at him—

“You’re seriously acting like you have no real friends! Anyone in the world would’ve accepted the bracelet from you—”

He said, “You already know they made it something so meaningful. Diego or Fernando or Leo would’ve just gone along with it, but my entire life would be upturned. Does it mean what we’ve all been waiting to know? The elemental potential of the era! Anyway, I wasn’t sure what you would do. I thought you’d throw it into the sea.”

In truth, Alejandro Caldera-Altaha doesn’t care about being a proper mage. He’s just as simplistic about our magecraft as you unfathomably old Earthians. If I look at the skies in my world, maybe I could see your star, the Sun, 100,000 lightyears away… Or maybe not.

I could care less.

I never paid enough attention to how far away it was in my classes.

I told him, “I won’t wrap the bracelet on your wrist.”

Alejandro said, “I never expected you to.”

“You want me to throw it into the sea.”

“I thought that you would.”

“You really wanted me to give it away, didn’t you? Start a drama with your whiny-ass brother.” I thought I might as well have said it.

Like an idiot, Alejandro said, “After you threw it into the sea, I thought I’d push Diego into a dramatic retrieval mission together with your brother. Since Diego is the one who still talks to Fernando. I was wondering how Fernando’s been.”

I was…

Close to—

I—

He was close to brea—

Stop.

I was…

So infuriated. Seething, even. So mad.

I just said, “You didn’t need me to start your stupid game with my brother—”

He sounded upset too, by then. Over what? He said, “You could’ve just pretended you didn’t open the damn book!”

I… Well, I finally paused.

I mean. I just told him, “You fucking know I wouldn’t let you think I couldn’t solve a puzzle that you gave me. Like duh I solved it. Hello?”

The idiot burst out laughing so soon after looking unhappy. He laughed for a while. I don’t know why he found it so funny.

“You never would be able to resist! It really is so like you, Antonio.”

>_> WTF.

Why did he find it so funny? He went back to smiling like the idiot he is.

He said something so stupid. He said, “Give me back my family’s book, too.”

I told him, “No way. That’s my real damn prize from you. My pillow now, even.”

He turned to me and said, like he might as well be talking to Alia or Konna or Diego or Fernando or Leo, “That’s such shit!” Though around them he would’ve been so much cuter—for the streams and all that, just, “I can’t believe you!”

He is a man of respect. ( <_< )

I told him, “Don’t give me things you don’t want to lose.” I am a man of respect too, of course.

He said, “I imagined you might find it interesting. I can’t parse some things I was hoping to, in the end.”

I think he needed me for it, and so the book wound up more important than the magical Alejandro-fetching bracelet in the end.

>:")

We wound up less caught up in our bullshit. He finally lightened up, and the seashore was my home again. I'm sure I won’t remember what made me mad soon enough—an Alejandro whose goals I understand is all I will ever need. I know it.

I know.

#again only i the djinn can see these tags so i might as well ramble a bit here #it seems as though antonio has found what he wanted by writing these blog posts so it may take some time before i can bother him again #he's what you all call emo and does seem to have enjoyed blogging like it's 2005 #how very nice #character blog #artists on tumblr #Blue Horizon verse by Naila Moonsi

Long Thoughts

I feel like a ghost of who I used to be.

I thought the more effort I put into healing, processing, accepting, and integrating the less I would have to deal with the symptoms of DiD. The less I would have to worry about being different.

Somehow with age, its gotten harder. I thought it would be the opposite. I idealized a future where I could just be one, have a better memory, and retain information better. I wanted that future so badly. Maybe its still possible and I'm just prematurely discouraged, but it was so much easier B.D (before discovery).

Yeah, it was chaotic and embarrassing and all the things you can imagine from an unknowingly traumatized little girl. It was easier back then to just write off my behavior as being weird. I was just the weird, rambunctious, unpredictable little girl, pre-teen, teenager, young woman. And truthfully, I found comfort in the idea that everyone lived that way.

Leaving the emotional distress aspect out of it, I thought everyone had multiple voices and memory gaps and drastic identity changes and internal conflict with identity. So I just lived my life. I was more unstable, but I was significantly happier even through the manic/depressive episodes. It was easier to write it off as "this is just part of life!". My system worked for me.

Finding out that I'm separate from the internal family that raised me was terrifying, embarrassing, yet liberating. Terrifying because the voices I came to be familiar with weren't a norm like i thought, embarrassing because i realized the horrible, mean, weird, chaotic things i've done around people wasnt a dream but actually real life; and liberating because i spent years trying to understand the complex experience i was having and finally cracked the surface.

It was an intense discovery.

Months and a couple years later i was extremely motivated to get to the bottom of my disorder, come to terms with what happened to me, and grow as an individual. Being aware of switches was harder than being unaware, because the latter meant that those days or memories were processed as dreams or separate from reality so i have nothing to worry about. Now knowing that I'm being ripped out of my mind and body made me more erratic when it came to time and how i spent it. I wanted to prevent switches so i could live my life more.

Almost 4 years A.D, i feel... defeated. I have lived my life a certain way since childhood filled with switching, beautiful chaos, and recklessness. It was full of rambunctious people taking care of me, laughing with me, helping me with tests, saying jokes only we can hear, talking to me out loud while i wear headphones walking home from school, protecting me, and just making me feel like someone was there for me. Although it was a confusing time, i was happy. My system made me happy.

That's something i have never admit to anyone, not even my husband who is in full support and knowledge of my disorder. But growing up and until discovery, my system was one whom i, for the most part, could trust.

It's just harder now. When you're a kid theres more freedom for weird behavior, but at 24 years old i would be called crazy.

I'm not crazy, im traumatized. I'm severely torn apart and my brain led the otherwise impossible task of gluing me back together. I spent time in psych wards and crisis houses. I lived in my car and got fired from jobs. I struggle heavily because the way my brain formed itself to live isnt one that fits where i am anymore. And yet, I still need them to feel like myself.

Its painful to accept that because for so long I just wanted to be me. But I'm seeing now that its already been done. This is my brain. This isnt the type of disorder you can medicate away. My brain put itself together in this way to survive and the more i try to make my days quiet and free from my system, the sadder I've become.

This is my sign to take a different approach and be more accepting of the system who helped save my life.

It'll be hard, but i want to be happy.

Back To The Trinity! | Thesis #1

Have you ever wondered why William Paul Young’s book “The Shack” went viral and sold 25 million copies, even though it was originally self-published? Doesn’t everyone you know really want intimacy, happy family, and to be deeply loved? Mankind’s oldest question is often, “Where did we come from?” The answer to all of these is... the Trinity! The very first thing we need to get back to as the church today is an awareness and adoration of Papa, Jesus, and Holy Spirit. “The doctrine of the Trinity is the central dogma of Christian theology, the fundamental grammar of our knowledge of God.” - Thomas F. Torrance

Only the church of Jesus has such a glorious understanding of reality. Our God is three and at the same time ONE! Meaning they’ve always known relationship, intimacy, and TRUE LOVE. ONE GOD without persons could not have known true relational unselfish love, and would therefore be needy of us. GOD IS NOT NEEDY. We were born from the overflow of intimacy and enjoyment of inter-personal Love!

Pope St. John Paul II, as part of his famous ‘Theology of the Body,’ once said that: “Our God in his deepest mystery is not solitude, but a family.”

I encourage each one of us to read or watch “The Shack,” by William Paul Young. As you watch, deeply ponder the beauty of the three Persons portrayed in the Godhead.

Some say that the Trinity was not a part of the early church, and is not in the Bible. But, I say that, though it was clarified a bit later on, possibly first by Theophilus of Antioch in the late second century A.D., the saints have been experiencing our beautiful Three in One and Their other-giving Love from the beginning. If God had not had a multiplicity of persons within Their Oneness they could have never known Love prior to creation. But, God has always been Love.

The Trinity has always demonstrated unselfishness and union, family and oneness of purpose and mind. This is how we learn to Love, by being included in Their life and love!!!

This is how we know we can trust Jesus. He has never broken relationship with His Father or the Holy Spirit. This is how we know we can trust Papa! This is how we know we can trust Holy Spirit!

“The doctrine of the Trinity wasn't invented—it was uncovered. The doctrine of the Trinity…is not some arbitrary and outdated dictate handed down by some confused council—it is the inevitable result of wrestling with the richness and complexity of the Christian experience of God.” - Oxford theologian Alister McGrath

The early church wrestled with the nature of our beautiful God, and after hundreds of years of contemplation and fierce discussion, they passed down to us the Nicene Creed. We suffer today because we don’t realize the enormity of the Trinity. We don’t know that we were created out of Their abundant communion and Love… and that this is all that God has ever been!

“Conditional love” has never been a part of Them.

Abandonment is something They never do.

Dis-unity is nowhere to be found in Their relational holiness.

Trinity has always known how to love others perfectly, madly, deeply. ;););)

When it comes to disciplining us, it’s always from healthy family, with mutual love and respect. They help wake us up with dignity, as Their beloved children. Pope Francis reiterated this when he wrote, “The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection.”

This changes everything, brothers and sisters. Trinity will never leave us or forsake us. They never knew that kind of thinking. Their holiness is perfect relationship. Holiness is defined as RELATIONAL, quality of the relationship! PERFECT UNITY! There is no dark side to God. God loves because God is Love. They are in unity. And, the cross was not Abba abandoning His son. God will never abandon us.

It’s time to get back to the core of our faith… Abba-Jesus-Holy Spirit… our beginning, middle, and end. Amen.

Free Flower Basket Day

Free Flower Basket Day on January 4 encourages you to surprise someone with beautiful flowers. Everyone loves flowers — they’re gorgeous, they smell nice, they look good, and they don’t need much maintenance. Whether you pick a few from your garden or buy a lovely bouquet, give a friend or family member a free basket of flowers to brighten their day.

History of Free Flower Basket Day

Flowers presumably originated between 140 to 200 million years ago. They are the bloom or blossom of a plant. The flower is the part that produces seeds, which eventually become other flowers. This happens through a process known as pollination, which is carried out either by insects or the wind. Flowers are highly modified to attract their special pollinators such as bees, flies, moths, hummingbirds, bats, and more. It’s for this reason that flowers are brightly colored and beautifully scented.

Did you know that without some flowers, we would not have some foods, medicines, dyes, textiles, and tons of other essentials for daily use? They are essential and every type of flower is unique in color, scent, shape and size. They need food and sunlight to survive, as they make their own food and derive energy through photosynthesis. To perform photosynthesis, plants require; carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Carbon dioxide penetrates through little holes in a plant’s leaves, flowers, branches, stems, and roots. The roots absorb the water, the sun breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water, and reorganizes them to make sugar (glucose) and oxygen.

It is not certain who created Free Flower Basket Day, but it is likely that the holiday was started by the greeting card industry because there are always references to it on greeting card sites. We do know, however, that it’s a day to give or receive a basket of flowers and it is celebrated annually on January 4.

It's her family that my family is practicly trying to KILL me!" *hears a ruffle in the bushes* "who's there?" *Lifts up the bow and arrow she didn't even know she brought with her* *moves closer to the rose bush* "I'm not scare of you! *A tiny light brown bunny jumps out of the rose bush* "Oh!" "well hello there! what's your name little guy?" *bunny noises* "Man, times like this I wished I paid attention in my talking to animals class." "Well since I can't understand you, I'm just going to pretend that you can understand me. So mind if I rant to you for a while?"

*Back at the castle*

A:"YOUR GOING TO PUT MY DAUGHTER TO SLEEP?! P: "YOU CAN'T DO THAT! A.M: "Now darling I know that this sounds bad trust it's for the best!" A: "FOR THE BEST?!" P: "HOW IS SENDING OUR CHILD TO HER EARLY GRAVE FOR THE BEST?! A.M.: "Now there is no need to yell! A: "NO NEED TO YELL?! I-" A.D: "ENOUGH!!!" *everyone went quiet* A.D: "Now I love that just as much as the rest of you. She's my only grandchild for god's sake!" "But with that being said, she is also the only heir to this kingdom. And in order to provide for this kingdom we must provide it a suitable queen! Now I know that she's not 16 yet and it's rather early for her to fulfill her destiny, *they don't know she didn't sign the storybook of legends. Since Apple seem to be the only one as far as I can remember, headmaster Grimm made sure it was totally under wraps that the whole school didn't sign it.* but she must also know that any actions have consequences! Now I know you don't like this, I don't either but we MUST protect our family name! And we're all going to be here when she wakes up since we'll all be asleep too! Now I know it's tough, losing friends every time you go under but we have no choice!" A"But dadd-" *holds his hand up* A.D: "Enough. No more." *does some magic thing* *The fairies are teleported over to him and are now under his control.* A.D: "Flora, Fauna, Merryweather you are to create a magic potion that will put my granddaughter under the same spell you put on my daughter. Hopefully, that will straighten her out." P: "You can't do this! please! A: "Godmothers!" *looks over to them.* *looking solemn* Red: "I'm sorry my dear. But we are bound to your father. We must do what we are told."

Tim & Eric Nite Live #12: “Return of the Eric” | March 4, 2008 | S01E12

What turned out to be the final episode of Tim & Eric Nite Live (and indeed it’s announced as the season finale despite being promised a March 11 installment) ends on a high note. But, it also unfortunately ends on a cliffhanger that can’t be resolved.

This one begins like episode 11, with a distraught Tim with a somber apology. Tim can’t keep up the facade for long; he’s pretending that Eric and him are still estranged, but his in-character bad acting betrays him. He begins laughing and announces that Eric is back! Eric enters with a parade procession in his honor with various members of Tim & Eric’s crew of misfits escorting him. Thank goodness! We get the opening sequence one last time, and it’s a good one: the celebrity AND musical guests are announced as Lindsay Lohan, and we get to see two different pictures of her, which is good because she’s maybe one of the hottest women to ever be alive. You gotta see these pics, TRUST ME.

Tim & Eric interview Dr. Linda, played by A.D. Miles, a therapist who helped Tim & Eric get back together through scream therapy. Dr. Linda has a lot of aggression bubbling under the surface. He gets increasingly annoyed when David Liebe Hart constantly interrupts with nonsense. Tim & Eric try to excuse the doctor so they can move onto other things and he refuses to leave, insisting that Tim & Eric require more work to be done. Somebody eventually removes him physically while DLH repeats “it’s over Grover, but thanks for helpin’!” Which is maybe one of the single most quotable lines from him.

In the spirit of compromise, Eric is allowed to show a video he prepared. It turns out to be the gorilla video he showed us in episode 10, with cartoon noises and audience laughter added to it. We get a little picture-in-picture of Tim and Eric’s reactions to the video. Eric is having a ball. Tim can’t hide his disdain. Before going into the next segment, Tim & Eric announce that later in the show there’s going to be a “fake quake”, where the crew pretend to be in an earthquake. DLH gets out of his seat to walk in front of them and perform his fake quake shake in a clearly unplanned moment. It’s insane how much attention this guy needs.

Coming up next is Pound for Pound with DJ Douggpound going up against a mustachioed comedian. The winner of this particular joke-off is a spin-off program on Super Deluxe. The Judges are asked to vote by either using their hands to make a mustache (to vote for the other dude) or a pair of glasses (to vote for Douggpound). Douggpound going on his extended DJ sound drop riff after delivering a mediocre joke is really funny, with the other comic sorta furrowing his brow, not sure what to make of it. Douggpound wins, and he receives his own show!!! He’s going to call it The Poundcast!!!

Just as the winner is announced, the fake quake starts. Everyone’s shaking and sliding around, but then the lights go out. We hear a gunshot. As the lights come on, we already hear DLH ruining the bit by asking if we need an “emergency prayer” and getting shushed. He won’t take the hint the first time, and actually starts banging this drum again, ruining the moment. What moment? Richard Dunn is lying dead on the ground, having been shot. There’s tense music, and shots of each cast member looking shocked. We segue into a pre-produced ending video of Richard Dunn talking to the camera, announcing that he’s been shot, inviting the viewers to ponder “who Dunn it” and that the culprit would be revealed next season. Alas, there was no next season. Nite Live’s own Richard Dunn’s murder would go unavenged, and the real-life Richard Dunn would pass away in 2010.

This concludes my coverage of Tim & Eric Nite Live. This is a great episode, and it’s good that the show roughly maintained its formula of planned-chaos and actual-train-wreck. I forgot to talk about this with the previous week’s episode, which would have been good because it was so gosh darn short; but here it goes: I’ve pointed out that this show shares DNA with On Cinema, especially in Tim playing a arrogantly buffoonish anger-prone host with a put-upon co-host. Eric isn’t too much of a Gregg, but I always had this mildly embarrassing idea about this show, which I’m going to describe in the next paragraph.

I’m a middle-aged man. I should be using my mind to imagine things like what it would be like to save money for retirement or plan for what will certainly be a diabetes-filled future, or save up for a gun for when the climate apocalypse happens and I can’t afford to move underground. But instead, I think of stuff like this: It’s mostly been stated that Tim Heidecker, the On Cinema character, is an alternate-reality Tim that never got into comedy. In my head-canon; Tim DID perform comedy with Eric Wareheim, but it all fell apart with Tim & Eric Nite Live. Episode 11 represents a branching timeline; one where Tim either reconciles with Eric (which results in this episode), or doesn’t, so this episode never happens and Tim goes onto a new racket and becomes his On Cinema self.

I’m not steeped in the On Cinema lore enough to know if they ever expressed backstory that would negate this idea. Indeed, it does make MORE sense if Tim Heidecker’s On Cinema persona never made Tim & Eric Awesome Show seasons one & two. I also wouldn’t want this to be adopted into future On Cinema storylines at all. But to me it makes enough sense, and I like the “alternate history” angle, personally. But it’s also really embarrassing to have fan theories about this shit.

EPHEMERA CORNER

youtube

The Poundcast: In the Mix (2008)

This debuted a day after this aired, so obviously the fix was in for Douggpound’s joke-off. Hey! Did you know that this is on YouTube? It looks like at one point it was made available through Super Deluxe when they attempted to revive themselves, and it’s labeled a “Super Deluxe Classic”. Anyway, this is all 5 or 6 episodes of Douggpound’s very own show. I think he’d do a better, funnier version of this later on, but I’m not sure I’ll cover all that. Nite Live is already an off-Adult Swim spin-off, and this is a spin-off of that, sorta.

I went through the trouble of finding the dates and times these were originally uploaded to the Super Deluxe website. The sixth installment might’ve been a standalone video or originally unaired or something, but I couldn’t find it on the series page on the webcrawled version of Super Deluxe I looked at. But here’s a guide as best as I can cobble together:

"Meddlers" (March 5, 2008 - 8:46AM)

"I Don't Get It" (March 12, 2008 - 8:50AM)

"M.C. World" (April 15, 2008 - 8:53AM)

"Sponsor Me Skate Video" (April 22, 2008 - 8:51AM)

"No" (April 30, 2008 - 9:12AM)

“D.J. Douggpound: The Unauthorized Love Tape” (Unknown; 2008?)

Shattered Hero ~ Origins of the Ink Demon : Episode Maka Final Act (2/2) ~

[Dark Nebula Sanctuary]

[Epilogue 1 - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Solva : Is it over?

Grim (Metal Sonic) : I think so.

Tsubaki : They finally did it! They stopped Dark Nebula! Looks like his dream of conquering the galaxy wouldn't make him an Underworld ruler. Villains always get what they deserved. Tsubaki, it's too bad that Kirby never got his cake.

Mizune : Hey, guys!

[the group exits the core]

Tsugumi/Sir Halberd Knight : Guys! You made it back!

Solva : Seto! (hugs Seto in excitement)

Seto : Welcome back, princess. Did you miss me?

Solva : I'm more than welcome that you are finally back.

Grim (Metal Sonic) : That voice heard it sounded like Rosalina. She knew the whole thing that Dark Nebula was about conquer the galaxy in darkness. So that's why Kirby was about to open that treasures. The real prison of Dark Nebula was been destroyed by Mizune, all copies of Nebula's prison were made Dedede and his servants. Who knew the king would make a bunch of decoys that looked like Dark Nebula's prison?

Soul : Heh! That Dark Nebula served his rights for messing with the planets, he's got some screws loose. I guess True Love can conquer all! That's your girl.

Makoto : Maybe, you're right about it.

King Phanto : Maka, Moirai...I am finally free. I will able to hear it from you one more time. The gift that I told you before. Our legacy, must be at peace. Our people, our pride, and our kin. It seems that we were able to pull into the light when Angel Vibe gave us a sign that there will be "Hope" to this galaxy we ruled over a year before humanity. Your ancestors have not failed you this time, you were the one that will able to succeed as kinsamn to the Phantonian race.

[Fly to Universe - Hideaki Kobayashi]

Maka : Great king. I now understand why I chose to live on earth, all thsoe people that wanted to be great. Both our kind can live together with Humans and Witches. But I still know that the lying of Shinra Kusakabe hurts to your kind. That's why I chose the life of becoming a hero. Someday, I wanted to grow up and become stronger like you.

King Phanto : That's great to hear, dear future relative. The Phantonian race will have their vengeance on Demon Vibe, but rest assure that our race will provide peace to all planets in the Galaxy. Your future as Earth's greatest champion will never fail, and you have the desire to bring hope to both Humans and Witches, pure elegance with truth and justice. With truth able to win to save our kind, Shinra and his influence will all be coming down and cease to exist. That's why you needed the ones that they truly love.

Maka : Yes, your majesty. The one that my heart belongs to...is Makoto Asagiri! Makoto is the love of my life. But that's not all, everyone in Real World AU. Can hear me now, I got friends and they are the ones that I loved the most! (hears everyone calling her name from earth)

Edward Elric : Hey, Maka! Congratulations!

Sora : Alright, Maka!

Penny : You're the best of all, Maka!

Cloud Strife : I guess you're not half bad for a Phantonian!

Naruto : You're not half bad, Maka!

Jacqueline O'Lantern Dupre : You go, girl!

Usagi : Way to hanging, kid!

Ashley : You certainly are a wicked person!

King Phanto : I see. So the humans and witches have all trusted you. Even though they might be an arrogant species, you have shown your ways of bringing the world to Valor, an essence that is the gift of courage and bravery which lies within the hearts of all. I'll be damned If I ever think that Shinra Kusakabe will might ever come back as a human, he'll spread his influence once again by the year 2015 A.D.

Moirai : Shinra will might come back as a human?

King Phanto : Indeed. But he'll have to wait in another to let that happen. Remember, my future Kinsman. You must let the truth win it to all, for the people and our kind! You are protectors of earth and serve justice for all those that needed their help. In the meantime, your loved ones are waiting for you and our legacy will be at peace on Jupiter for good.

Moirai : I understand, great ancestral father. Thank you for everything our lives, Great King of the Galaxy. So now, I decided that I will become the next king of the Phantonians! That's my dream to bring peace and restore balance to the Galaxy, among those that live on the planets of the Solar System!

Maka : And don't forget! We will never forget you, King Phanto. You are truly welcome to be part of the Albarn Family tree, ancestral father.

King Phanto : Heheh, you are the only person that I could ever see you one last time. Hey, Makoto.

Makoto : What is it?

King Phanto : Please, look after Maka, that's an order. I promise that you could protect her. If anything happens to her our kinsman, there will be excuses from the Phantos that live on earth. Goodbye, farewell...

Maka & Makoto : [together] ...And amen.

King Phanto : Heh. That's my line to say it. [vanishes in a fiery aura]

Tsugumi/Sir Halberd Knight : So...Was he voiced by Steve Blum the entire time?

Maka : Oh yes, he was voiced by Spike Spiegel.

Tsugumi/Sir Halberd Knight : Oh yeah...That makes sense.

Soul : Finally. I'm glad that's over. Now then, why don't head back to the ship and...

Dark Nebula : [voice heard, laughs hysterically] Fools! Did you really think that I was going to let you go that easily? Now what I must do that I will have a final trick up in sleeves again and this time, you are all going down, along with this sanctuary that I created! You will never escape from the reaches of your demise and despair! This is a final farewell gift to you! So congratulations! You won this time! Goodbye, Farewell, and amen...SUCKERS!!!

Maka : Hey! Come on, now! That's not a nice thing to--[begins to shake] Woaaaah!

*DBZ/One Piece SFX : LOUD RUMBLING+Explosions*

Tsubaki : Hey! What's going on!? Why is the ground shaking all of a sudden!?

[A True Last Boss (Neo Conter ver.) - Sota Fujimori]

Seto : Everyone! Dark Nebula used the self-destruct sequence! He's going to blow up this entire place! We gotta get out of here!

Maka : Right! So everyone, follow our lead!

Makoto : Hold on tight!

Captain Falcon : Hey there, Dudes and Dudettes! Mind needing a hand!

Seto : Captain Falcon! When did you get here!

Captain Falcon : Remember what you said! Guys always have good timing!

Fox : Yeah, you got us a deal!

Darskpine Sonic : the Smashers! I knew you guys got good timing!

Falco : We knew it!

Slippy : I'm right behind you guys! Let's get you all outta here!

Wolf : Don't stop the party without me!

Darkspine Sonic : I have to thank you guys later! You're in for a hero's welcome!

*DBZ SFX : BOOSTING*

Captain Falcon : Fasten your seatbelts, kids! Cause it's going to be a bumpy ride! Once we get out of Dark Nebula's sanctuary, we can finally make it out of here alive!

All : [cheering in excitement]

Captain Falcon : How are you holding up there, girls?

Seto : We're doing fine! Hope you got enough speed for everyone! We can finally ride on these kind of spacecraft for our own safety.

Solva : Hope it's gonna be a fun ride for us to handle it! This is kinda fun!

*BEEPING*

Wolf : Hold on! I'm picking up something from the fiery explosion! I believe it's some kind of Alien life form. [a Moirai alien appears from the explosion with it's previous forms] Wh...What is that thing!?

Fox : Oh no! Don't tell me it's Contra's real villains...The Triumvirate!

"GROTESQUE CHIMERA"

Wolf : Damn, Konami! This is the last time I ever see one of those alien baddies again!

Seto : Them aliens are such a pain in the ass all the time. They ordered Red Falcon to retrieve the Relic, but now Bill and Lance take it back about what I said about them last time. [To Solva] Shall we begin their lesson, babe?

Solva : I'm always ready, darling.

Falco : Alright, time for you girls to put an end to this scum bag once and for all! This will prove that Red Falcon will never retrieve this alien entity that is their Relic. It's nothing but pieces of alien garbage anyway!

Fox : Seto, Solva! Focus on destroying the Alien entity while we get everyone to safety and get the hell out of here!

Slippy : This is the reason Konami is always messing the hot new things!

Peppy : I can't get enough of them card-playing bastards all the time! When it comes Frogs, Metal Gear, and vampires, and horror stuff like Silent Hill, Why does Konami always reconsider about Aliens all the time! Red Falcon were only just guards of protecting and retrieve that thing! Man, humanity can not do anything right for their selves!

Captain Falcon : Hang on tight, folks! Things about to heating up! Don't understimate a bounty hunter's duty!

Fox : Firing now! [Fox and the girls starts firing at the alien directly]

Slippy : Watch out! The alien is throwing energy balls!

*DBZ SFX : Ki Blast *

Falco : They always do that in Dragon Ball! It's friggin' energy balls!

Slippy : I hope it doesn't get you roasted alive! Better stay clear and watch for the attacks! Keep firing till that thing's dead, it would be monstrous to take a menacing threat like that down!

Fox : Got it! It's time that I am going to barbecue to this intergalactic menace for good! This is the end of Red Falcon's legacy, you alien scum bag!

Solva : Die now, you intergalactic piece of sh**!

Seto : You're all washed up now! Konami is done for!

Captain Falcon : Nobody makes a mess on our territories! Not even Konami would let it's characters to join Smash! [To viewers] Cause that's how we predicted it in the 06.

Seto : And now, you're cooked! (the alien bleeds out and falls back into the fiery explosion) Hah! Serves it right!

Slippy : Full speed ahead! Portal is about to be closing soon! (suddenly aliens grabs on the Falcon Flyer as it attempts to pull it into fiery explosion)

Captain Falcon : No! Not my ship! We're gonna be BBQ'd if we don't shoot it down with one final shot! Seto, You got this! Do it for us and we can all go home safely.

Seto : Loud and clear, Captain Falcon! Hey, Relic of the Alien Scum of Contra! *gun clicks* Let your attacks...be aggressively!

*Shadow/Robot Chicken SFX : Gunshot*

Moirai Alien : [with Howie Scream]

*DBZ SFX : ENERGY WAVE+EXPLOSION*

Fox : At last...It's finally over, for real.

Wolf : Heh. That's the last of the Alien scum bag. Who knew the Triumvirate have tricked the heroes of Contra as Heroes of the Alien Wars? Guess the truth was right about all along. Can't believe that humanity would be an arrogant species for all times sake.

Falco : It's sad the Aliens or Red Falcon has lost their mission on retrieving the relic, the fate between Contra and Aliens have finally been sealed. Maybe Bill Rizer will find himsel another guy to be his partner, a samurai of course! Let's just get out of here!

"Thank you for making me save Jupiter, King Phanto."

"Thank you for my blessed heart."

"We will never forget you, our Phantonian King."

"Rest in peace, your majesty."

"The Legacy of our family tree lives on."

~ Final Act : Long Live the Hero and King ~

Hii thank u answering my career ask, I have uranus conjunct mc in both natal and mc persona chart , wdyt ? And a 10th house stellium in mc persona chart! Thank u <33

part 1: career observation (using natal and mc persona)

natal

your mc is in pisces so we are looking for its planetary ruler(s). jupiter and neptune. jupiter in the 5h and neptune in the 8h.

5h jobs: adoption agency, obgyn, ambassador, bookkeeper, entertainment, caretaker for children, and/or matchmaker.

8h jobs: mortician, estate lawyer, bank manager/accountant, insurance agent/broker, and/or surgeon.

noteworthy aspects (tight orbs)

sun sextile neptune: great at pretending/acting differently than you truly are in day-to-day life - usually will act braver than you feel (good for an actor/actress). generally a meticulous person (excellent for a doctor/surgeon). labelled a creative. working in confidence (like a doctor or a lawyer). atmosphere tends to possess drugs. not going by your first name (might have an alias or a name that you no longer has a relationship to).

mars opposite jupiter: active nature. sharp objects. sexually transmitted diseases. rashes/irritation.

sun square mc: someone of intimidating status and authority. seemingly bragging. might seeming like you have a big ego. the field your father may have been in.

mc persona

8h venus at 29°: needing time to establish yourself in your profession in order to attract clientele. seeing people at their most vulnerable with the intention of helping them. having a reputation for helping people to heal when they are at the most fragile (conjunct chiron and 12h is ruled by venus). having a great passion for what you do.

11h moon at 11°: 11° is a fame degree via the use of technology - though that puts zero limits on the possible career as the age of technology gets further flooded with new inventions and innovations. it is possible that you could invent something with this placement or patent something (i would suggest checking eureka in your chart). 11h is income from business and your moon rules over the 2h so you are likely to jump into a new tax bracket. you could be popular with you colleagues as well. 11° is an aqua degree; aqua is bloodily fluids and moon is sexual reproduction - so i am still thinking obstetrics.

the 10h stellium (sun, merc, uranus, and nn): highly regarded in your career. praised for intellect. feeling fulfilled. helping the masses. being consistently on the go. inventing something in the field you work in. research heavy field. performing for everyone to see.

jupiter square neptune (mc persona's mc rulers negatively aspecting one another): you could experience imposter syndrome - you could feel like you aren't worthy of your praise, that you haven't done all that you hope to, and/or like you are a fraud. at some point you could make an error because you are absentminded in a a single moment which could be fatal to your hopes to succeed in your career. often this is a sleep thing - you need to sleep so you are at your sharpest. you are going to have haters both secret and otherwise. could be making scars where there are none.

my guess: obgyn, estate lawyer, inventor/engineering, accounting, or tattoo artist.

hope this helps!

a.d.

Patches' Nightmare, part 1

A/N: Thanksgiving holiday drama at its finest for the fourth year in a row

The Rock Fish in the English Channel was a complete self-centered, self-important, self-righteous asshole with no concept of how to be thankful for anything. He was 58 years old and 10 feet long and still hadn't grown up or learned much of anything. That's where being a Neanderthal who takes testosterone and eats 30,000 calories a day gets you. He isn't any different from the rest of his Neanderthal family, really. In fact, he's worse because he had plenty of time to know better.

Sure I felt bad for his head being a rock, but Kings Chocolate-covered Gummy Bears, Queen Nicole, the two Lindsays, the two Patches, King Bruce Ace, Queen Megen Ace, and I have been cooking Thanksgiving dinner for him for six days now. He could focus on what we are doing for him instead of his own self-centered, self-important, self-righteous giant head. It's his own fault anyway. "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" is a dumb way to live. How about taking a few herbs, drinking carp and red, red wine, and actually sleeping?! And I can't believe he needed to manifest a doctor to tell him the same thing I just did! I told him in more detail than the doctor/death dealer did. The Rock Fish became a complete idiot.

I am so sick of dumbass people and dumbass holidays around me. So naturally I flipped the fuck out. I told people six years ago that I was sick of this damn shit. I have cussed my mom the fuck out for six and a half years in a row, too. It turns out she was a spy for the French Intelligence Agency. So if this dumbass rock fish thinks I'm not about to blow, he is truly out of his fucking mind.

The cats named Patches hissed in stereo.

This is what the fuck I gotta say:

"Well, I'm dropping off the food in YOUR REALITY. I don't have room in my reality for your stupid dumb fucking bullshit! AND I TOLD YOU THE SAME SHIT THAT DAMN DOCTOR/DEATH DEALER TOLD YOU BUT IN MORE DETAIL. YOU ARE REALLY PISSING ME OFF TODAY!

You are the most self-centered, self-important POS asshole I've ever fucking met in my fucking life!!!!!!!

I am going out of my way to make a nice holiday for you, and you COMPLETELY ruined mine over your stupid fuckass head!

Get it together and learn to actually be thankful!!!! You're 58 years old and you're still clueless about what being THANKFUL is or what the word fucking means!"

This is what the fuck the Rock Fish had to say:

"Wait a cotton-picking minute! When I woke up this morning, I found one of my quills in a stream of four miles of piss. I swam in it! That's what sent me into a different reality. Calm the fuck down; I'm back to this reality.

These holidays gave me a headache, stressed me the fuck out. Calm the fuck down.

I couldn't tell you how many times I've been called self-centered, self-important, and self-righteous. You forgot to mention self-absorbed, lol."

The Kings Chocolate-covered Gummy Bears growled. "Please eat and shut the fuck up both of you. This is what the fuck I gotta say: Fuck these pointless scruffles, number 1. Now that we got that out of the way. Number 2, I hate these God-forsaken holidays. Nine years ago, there was an epic battle with over-cooked flaxseed brownies. I hated those evil brownies, Mama Bear's malfunctioning oven, and my degenerate family. Every year, something fucked up happens. In 713 A.D., Mama Bear growled loud and walked the fuck out of the forest. We didn't see her until a month later, around Saint Nicholas's birthday. Number 3, All I want is for everyone to be thankful and shut the shut the shut the fuck up."

"GIVE ME A BREAK! GIVE ME A BREAK! BREAK ME OFF A PIECE OF SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!" I sang loudly.

"Thanksgiving is fucked without people being thankful," the past Queen Lindsay said as she sat at the table with her royal maroon dress. "Speaking of fucked up, Patches is due for a veterinarian examination."

The two cats named Patches meowed in slow motion. Their eyes were wide, and their mouths were open for a minute/minute and a half. They meowed until my ears bled.

King Angry Chocolate-covered Gummy Bear growled. "I'm never doing this again! Stressed me out! Drove to the grocery store, took 20 separate trips for everyone, spent 3000 gold for you assholes to start squawking bullshit. Don't ask me to do anything again!" he screamed before he bleated.

Cody howled loudly to Swahili singing. The Hatari (762 A.D.) world joined us for Thanksgiving.

"Oh fuck not this bad theatrical performance!" Peter growled as he drank a shot of his Evan Williams and tried to manifest the Little Safari World from Toto's 'Africa'. "These holidays are too much. They are back to back at the end of the year. SEPARATE THEM A LITTLE!!!"

Then the song 'Africa' by Toto played in the background:

youtube

"Arga, where's Missy?" Kurt asked as he jumped off his horse.

"In her room," Arga, the Swahili houseboy, answered.

"Thank you. Get me some coffee, will you?" Kurt asked as he went to Patches' room. The two calico cats shared a room.

Chef Vanilla Mac was swimming in the stream while I was on the other side laying down.

My happy King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear was howling fiercely at Kurt and Patches singing, "Whiskey, leave me alone! I just want to go home!!" Kurt, our Patches, and the angry King Chocolate-Covered Gummy Bear disappeared out of that reality.

Peter turned into a giraffe and bleated loudly.

I laughed and turned into a jaguar who looked like Patches. I started eating herb and garlic goat cheese.

Count Vanilla Manilla rested.

Queen Megen Ace was taking a bath, so naturally, I went to check on her.

"Ohhhh!!! Mamma Mia!" Queen Megen Ace screamed and stood up while covering herself with a wool towel.

I walked over and licked her right leg.

"HELLPP!!!!" Queen Megen Ace screamed.

King Bruce Ace rushed in and chased me with a chair. "Don't move! Stand back!" he yelled.

I laughed and walked away playfully.

Kurt returned to this reality. He and John Wayne walked over.

"What's going on here?" Kurt asked. "Patches, why is he poking you with a chair? Come on, let's get out of here. You don't belong here!" He pet me as he ushered me outside.

Easter Light:- Christ Jesus the Anointed Light lit the Lights in His Worker's hearts and made them solitary Christs capable of giving their own accounts to God. https://youtu.be/qcm9sgM83lk Spiritually blind people of the Forbidden Bible follow other men whilst living in the holy spirit, which is "common sense", are Taught by God within their hearts. https://youtu.be/j9R1zQTKm2I So, unless a spiritually blind Disciple of the Rabbis, Pope, etc. called a "Female" as Saul was of His Master Gamaliel, becomes a Solitary Enlightened Person Lit by the Middle Candle of the Menorah of Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. an independent Solitary Male, master of his own destiny capable of giving his own account to God as the born-blind person of the age of John 9 was, You cannot enter into the Royal Kingdom of God that is not outside like the kingdom of heaven and hell outside but within your own heart where God lives and teaches you the ways of RIGHTEOUSNESS and SERVICE, you cannot enter into the ROYAL KINGDOM OF GOD that is within your own heart as Jesus explained to the King Pilate and he wanted to release him but gave in to the desires of people shouting that he handed over Jesus to the Temple Priests washing his hands under Sun of the fate of Jesus. So, those Husbandmen of the Temple, the Priests, killed Jesus and soon after the death of the Apostles and the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D., they entered the Church of God headed by Christ Jesus, Matt 12v43-45 - and established their Temple practices. They jumped over the walls like a Thief with the forbidden Torah under their armpits and made the situation worse than before the arrival of Christ Jesus. Our covenant with God is of the holy spirit, which is common sense that is possessed by the illiterate Shepherds and Farmers but NOT THE JERUSALEM UNIVERSITY THEOLOGIANS. So, today; 's University Theologians are Super Blind and Bury their dead in Letters that had already ended with John, the Baptist, the Last Prophet in the Promised Land - Luke 16v16. Thus, anyone who talks about sins in the name of Christ Jesus is spiritually blind AntiChrist. The same is no prayer or fasting - Read Jesus eating at Matthew's place. Thus, living in the holy spirit are called "Christs" whilst the dead in the Holy Spirit drunk with the old wine of the dead letters of the Bible are called spiritually "Blind Christians" of the book taught by men in the universities and colleges. THE GOSPEL IS CALLED “LOGO” AND LOGO IS THE EXTRACT/NECTAR OF “LOGICAL REASONING” – SATGUR PARSAD. Once-born people are incapable of logical reasoning. So, if you want The Gospel, then you must think logically over your own heart. Thus, listen to everyone and ponder over it logically in your own heart. Then, the Gospel would be written over the living tablets of heart – 2corn 3. Scriptures, the dead letters are “deadly poison” to The Gospel. Scriptures, the “dead letters” that the once-born people are taught in the universities and colleges, they are “old wines” or “milk for the babies”. This is the Jewish leaven that Jesus forbade. The twice-born people of “discerning intellect” are like the “birds of the air” capable of “logical reasoning” to brew the “New Wine” within their own hearts. For this, you need to be “impartial and unbiased” as the little children are. Thus, you do not need to go to a university to know The Gospel but a heart burning for “The Gospel Treasures”. University degrees in “dead letters” will turn you into a super donkey carrying “Holy Books”. “Letter killeth, spirit giveth Life”. Typical Youtube Video on Son of God:- Son represents Father, so in Jesus, we are the sons of Elohim and we should display His qualities for Salvation. https://youtu.be/dQ8pSqeFjQw Holy spirit, common sense, shatters the fetters of the dead letters, the Holy Books. If we have One God, our Supernatural Father of our souls, then there should be one Faith. In Christianity, Jesus said One Fold called the Church of God headed by One Shepherd, our Bridegroom Christ Jesus/Christ = Satguru Nanak Dev Ji, the Second coming of Jesus. Thus, Jesus was born and Jesus died on the Cross and rose on the Third Day and NOT CHRIST, THE TITLE.

Noah’s World Wide Flood:

Is There Evidence For It?

YES!

(Sunday July 9 th 2023 A.D.)

Various Scriptures

Golden Text: 17 And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. 19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. - Genesis 7:17-20

Why is it important to know there is Evidence for the World Wide Flood? We are told to be ready always to give an answer to everyone that asketh. So you need to be ready to give an answer so people who are honest doubters will know of the evidence. By reading this you will become equipped.

The name Noah signifies rest; his parents gave him that name, with a prospect of his being a great blessing to his generation. . . . God having cursed the ground, it is as much as some can do, with the utmost care and pains, to get a hard livelihood out... - Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

It is interesting to note that Noah will bring rest and peace through being used to preserve life during a world wide flood where all with the breath of life were drowned.

Be Equipped By reading this study, you will find that you have much credible evidence of Noah and the ark and the world wide flood. You will, of course, learn what the Bible has to say, but you will be equipped to know that there is much secular evidence that conforms to the truth of the Word of God, so that skeptics will have to agree that there is indeed evidence of Noah and the world wide flood and the ark of safety. Let us begin with the Word of God as set forth in His King James Bible. Be ready to give to every man an answer. (1st Peter 3:15)

Quick Answer: For the skeptic of the world wide flood, the most difficult matter for the skeptic to logically refute is the fact that sea creature fossils are found on the tops of all the mountains. How did sea creatures come to rest on the mountain tops? The waters overflowed the highest hills or mountains of those days and these sea creature fossils were deposited. Remember the waters were fifteen (15) cubits (at least 22 ½ feet) above Earth. (Genesis 7:20)

13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. - Genesis 6:13-17

God told Noah all flesh will be destroyed because wicked men were continually being violent. God chose to do it by a flood of waters, which should drown the world and all therein. Was this a cleansing by the water? God chooses this way of showing His authority and sovereignty over Earth and that therein is. We must, at the least, admit that God is in control, that there comes a time when enough is enough. God, Who is merciful and long suffering, acts. Have you considered our world today? How much more violence can we do before we again have brought upon ourselves another massive correction by God? But GOD has a better plan. God is not willing that any perish. Yet there comes a time when enough is enough.

What provision had God made for mankind and the animals of Earth?

God directed Noah to make an ark. This ark was like the hulk of a ship, fitted to float upon the waters. It was very large, half the size of the Titanic, and God ... employed Noah in making that which was to be the means to preserve Noah, for the trial of his faith and obedience. ... God promised Noah that he and his family should be kept alive in the ark. What we do in obedience to God, we and our families are likely to have the benefit of. The good example of parents gets their children the work ethic and manners and respect in this life, and helps them on the way to everlasting life, ... - Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710. (Note: Titanic is mentioned as I did not recognize the name or size of the other ship, but it was very large.)

21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. -Genesis 7:21-24

All flesh died. All the men, women, and children, and all creatures that breathed, who were in the world (except those in the ark) died. We may easily imagine what terror seized them. Our Savior tells us, that till the very day that the flood came, they were eating and drinking, (Luke 17:26,27); they were deaf and blind to all the warnings of God. Death by drowning surprised them. ... We may suppose they tried all ways and means possible to save themselves, but all in vain. And those (today) who are not found in Christ, the Ark, are certainly undone, and lost and will be in torment for ever and ever and ever.

Let us pause, and consider this tremendous judgment! Who can stand before the Lord when He is angry? NO ONE. The sin of sinners will be their ruin, first or last, if not repented of. The righteous God knows how to bring ruin upon the world of the ungodly and has another plan, (2 Peter 2:5)

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

And 2 Peter 3:10 tells us what is to come.

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

There is only one way to escape the judgment of God, only one way to avoid the tormenting fires of hell and the lake of fire. God allowed Jesus to come and make Himself an offering to pay the penalty your sins earned you.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. - John 3:16

How tremendous will be the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men! Happy they who are part of Christ's family, and safe with Him as such; they may look forward without dismay, and rejoice that they shall triumph, when fire shall burn up the earth, and all that therein is. ...; but if we neglect, refuse, or abuse the salvation of Christ, we shall, notwithstanding such fancied advantages, be destroyed in the common ruin of an unbelieving world. - Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

Should We Forget God? One of the most frequent arguments against the ark is the extensive knowledge that Noah would have to have acquired to build the ark. Are they forgetting God? If God directs, you will find things easier to do and you will find that you do them correctly. Do not forget or ever forsake the guiding Hand of God. All Noah had to do was obey. God had and has all knowledge.

28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. -Genesis 9:28-29

Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. Why did no one question the idea of a flood in the years following? Why did man begin to build the Tower to escape the next possible flood judgment?

In early Biblical times, no one questioned the flood because Noah lived until the time of Abraham. His son Shem outlived Noah, and was alive until at the least Isaac and perhaps he knew Esau and Jacob-Israel. These were living eyewitnesses: Noah and Shem.

According to the Chart from Adam to Abraham: Noah lived until after Abraham was born and married. And one son of Noah, Shem, lived 600 years. He would have outlived Abraham and known Isaac.

Noah Lived for 950 Years

The flood began in the 600th year of Noah’s life, and he lived for another 350 years after it ended, passing away in the year 2006 from creation. Doing the math, one realizes that Noah overlapped (was still alive) for nearly 60 years up to (and living with) Abraham, who was born in the year 1948 from creation.

So if you are wondering why there was no problem believing in the Flood that covered the world in the days of Noah, it is because Noah and his sons who were on the ark, were alive. This was the only credible teaching of that day.

Chronology Chart from Adam to Abraham

But some of these living men decided to outsmart God. They would build a tower so high that a flood would not destroy it, they would be able to survive.

3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. - Genesis 11:3-4

BEST EVIDENCE: The Eye Witnesses: Yes, there is ample proof. The first place a Bible believing Christian, Jew (and some Muslims) will look is to the Bible. It is clear that there was a Noah, Noah built an ark to save Noah and his family. Noah did not need special knowledge to build, as Noah was directed by God. The fowls, animals, etc. were sent by God to the ark. All the other flesh that was upon Earth, outside of the ark, died, fowl (flying things) cattle (animals) beasts and every creeping thing and every man died.

Wikipedia reports (the Bible is full of references to the world wide flood):

In addition to the main story in Genesis, the Hebrew Bible (Christian Old Testament) also refers to Noah in the First Book of Chronicles, Isaiah and Ezekiel. ... New Testament references include the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and some of the epistles (Epistle to the Hebrews, 1 Peter and 2 Peter).

Noah became the subject of much elaboration in the literature of later Abrahamic religions, including Islam (Surahs 71, 7, 11, 54, and 21 of the Quran) and Bahá'í faith (Kitáb-i-Íqán and Gems of Divine Mysteries).

THE BIBLE IS ENOUGH PROOF: If we believe the Bible is true and we should, as it is the Word of God, then we can stop our inquiry right here. But let us look at other evidence both in the Bible and elsewhere.

OTHER PROOF OUTSIDE THE BIBLE: Life Forms Suddenly Buried Alive. Also Geology and Anthropology report that there are massive graveyards of things that died quickly, suddenly, under water and were lodged in the mud layers of Earth. They also admit that the most logical explanation for the sudden large grave yards is death from a flood or similar related catastrophes.

Below is evidence of events and happenings outside of the Bible. They are from Answers in Genesis, an organization of scientists who are wise enough to believe God and His Bible.

Evidence 1: Fossils of sea creatures high above sea level due to the ocean waters having flooded over the continents. - We find fossils of sea creatures in rock layers that cover all the continents. For example, most of the rock layers in the walls of Grand Canyon (more than a mile above sea level) contain marine fossils. Fossilized shellfish are even found in the Himalayas. How did they get up on top of mountains? The best and most logical answer is that these mountains were at one time underwater. And that is exactly what the Bible teaches.

Evidence 2: Rapid burial of plants and animals.- We find extensive fossil “graveyards” and exquisitely preserved fossils. For example, billions of nautiloid fossils are found in a layer within the Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon. This layer was deposited catastrophically (suddenly) by a massive flow of sediment (mostly lime sand). The chalk and coal beds of Europe and the United States, and the fish, ichthyosaurs, insects, and other fossils all around the world, testify of catastrophic (sudden) destruction and burial.

Evidence 3: Rapidly deposited sediment layers spread across vast areas. -We find rock layers that can be traced all the way across continents– even between continents- and physical features in those strata (layers) indicate they were deposited rapidly. For example, the Tapeats Sandstone and Redwall Limestone of Grand Canyon can be traced across the entire United States, up into Canada, and even across the Atlantic Ocean to England. The chalk beds of England (the white cliffs of Dover) can be traced across Europe into the Middle East and are also found in the Midwest of the United States and in Western Australia. Inclined (sloping) layers within the Coconino Sandstone of Grand Canyon are testimony to 10,000 cubic miles of sand being deposited by huge water currents within days.

Evidence 4: Sediment transported long distances. - We find that the sediments in those widespread, rapidly deposited rock layers had to be eroded from distant sources and carried long distances by fast-moving water. For example, the sand for the Coconino Sandstone of Grand Canyon (Arizona) had to be eroded and transported from the northern portion of what is now the United States and Canada. Furthermore, water current indicators (such as ripple marks) preserved in rock layers show that for “300 m-i-l-l-i-o-n years” water currents were consistently flowing from northeast to southwest across all of North and South America, which, of course, is only possible over weeks during a global Flood. In other words, rocks do not get up and walk. They are moved only by great natural forces or supernatural forces. They should be local not spread out as they are.

Evidence 5: Rapid or no erosion between strata. - We find evidence of rapid erosion, or even of no erosion, between rock layers. Flat, knife-edge boundaries between rock layers indicate continuous deposition of one layer after another, with no time for erosion. For example, there is no evidence of any “missing” m-i-l-l-i-o-n-s of years (of erosion) in the flat boundary between two well-known layers of Grand Canyon– the Coconino Sandstone and the Hermit Formation. Another impressive example of flat boundaries at Grand Canyon is the Redwall Limestone and the strata beneath it. - Focus in: No Slow and Gradual Erosion. If it is all supposed to happen over m-i-l-l-i-o-n-s of years, there should be much evidence of erosion, but there is not. Why? It happened suddenly and was because of some great disaster, like a world wide flood.

Evidence 6: Many strata laid down in rapid succession (rapidly, suddenly). - Rocks do not normally bend; they break because they are hard and brittle. But in many places we find whole sequences of strata that were bent without fracturing, indicating that all the rock layers were rapidly deposited and folded while still wet and pliable before final hardening. For example, the Tapeats Sandstone in Grand Canyon is folded at a right angle (90°) without evidence of breaking. Yet, this folding could only have occurred after the rest of the layers had been deposited, supposedly over “480 m-i-l-l-i-o-n years,” while the Tapeats Sandstone remained wet and pliable. This recent event argues for the catastrophe like a world wide flood.

What now? These are but six examples of the accuracy of the Bible history. The Bible is true. What must I do? DUH! Do as the Bible says. Confess that you are a sinner. That a sin earns you death, physical and everlasting in hell and the lake of fire. How can you avoid that? There is only One Way. His Name is Jesus.

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved. - Romans 10:9-13

Do other sources tell of a world wide flood? YES.

Noah's ark story is not exclusive to the Bible, however. The Quran has a similar story in it, where Nuh (Noah) also builds a boat while trying to warn people of the imminent flood if they don't repent. According to both books, not a single person managed to stop being wicked on time -- except for Noah and his close family, nobody else survived the flood once it came.

Yet another well-known story from the Bible is the tale of the world – engulfing Great Flood and Noah's ark (also known as the Noachian Flood). This story is spread out throughout three chapters of Genesis, detailing how one man and his family successfully constructed an ark and saved all the animals of the planet from a massive flood that lasted 40 days (via the National Center for Science Education).

FLOOD LEGENDS: Also there are Flood legends in many communities. Most of them have eight people who survived. Why are there so many accounts of a world wide catastrophe? Perhaps it is because there was a world wide catastrophe, just as the Bible states.

We, at first, were going to include flood legends that most mirrored the Bible account, but we found this work and decided to tell you how to find it and learn about the flood legends that would indicate something great occurred just as the Bible relates.

Flood Stories from Around the World

by Mark Isaak.

[Last Revision: September 2, 2002]

Mirrored from http://home.earthlink.net/~misaak/floods.htm

This author states in his Introduction.

Introduction

The stories below are flood stories from the world's folklore. I have included stories here if (1) they are stories; (2) they are folklore, not historical accounts or fiction by a known author; and (3) they involve a flood. In most borderline cases, I included the story here anyway. For example, one story (Hopi) tells of a flood which was avoided and never occurred.

...

I am sure there are many more flood stories which could be included here. As I find them, I will add them. I welcome feedback, especially new flood stories, from others.

Were the people warned by God? 2nd Peter 2:5 refers to Noah as a "preacher of righteousness". In the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke, Jesus compares Noah's flood with the coming Day of Judgement:

"Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man."

Conclusion From The Bible. Thus it is clear that the Bible supports the man Noah as being real and the world wide flood as an actual event. Those who argue against it do not have as powerful argument as eye witness accounts that are believed from the time of their first occurrence until this very day, a period of thousands of years.

There was no dispute among early believers, because Noah and Shem lived until Abraham and Isaac. The Jewish believers, of course, believe the account in the first five books of the Bible and the Quran does paraphrase the Bible at times and they do not oppose this belief.

Other Evidence of a world wide flood abounds and only those who will refuse to look at the evidence because it interferes with their life style and ideas, will refuse to believe in a large catastrophic flood event that covered the Earth.

And now, you have the evidence that you need to reinforce your already proper view that the Bible (God) is telling the Truth.

PRAYER: Lord God, I find myself upset and short today and I ask You to forgive me of all of my sin and unrighteousness so that You may hear and answer this prayer. Father-God, I cannot thank You enough for allowing God the Word to take on the flesh of man and live a sinless life, for I know that I could never do that. I could never do enough to earn Your mercy and pardon, so You provided it through the Lord Jesus. I cannot thank “You” enough, Lord Jesus for You going to the cross and paying the death penalty that I (and all reading this) owed. Thank You so, so much. And thank You, God the Holy Spirit for striving with me and bringing me into all Truth so that I might be wise enough to make Peace with my one and only Triune God, so that I could have a place in heaven with You. Please forgive me. Please give me Your peace that passes all human understanding. Please give me Your Joy and Your Love to share with others this day. Please use me in some way to bring one to You or closer to You, so that they may come to You and find that perfect peace, and joy. May they experience Your Love, as they (and I) never have had before. Come into my life today in a bigger way then You ever have before, I pray in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

May God bless you in all that you do for Him, Brother J.R. Soul winner, Bible teacher, Defender of the Faith
