Only you

Ok, But... but they don't. Spirits exist true enough.. and/but if they are not spirits of Light, spirits of God; the Almighty Creator of the heavens and the earth.. -then you're merely worshipping your own corruption unto sin; idolizing false entities that lie to you, and steal your efforts to usurously manipulate and impede your truly, God-given purpose.

I can testify that there is One True God because first and foremost all signs point to YES in contrast to this world of lies -and because I have experienced God at work in my life firsthand, often. Daily, even...

You're not wrong for wanting civility between devout spiritualists and faithful servants.. but there is a natural truth to all things and simply put-

~In the beginning, God separated the darkness from the Light..

All that has followed has merely exemplified the fact that there is truly a marked difference between the darkness and the Light, and just how different our lives become when we worship one over the other . .

To wit- I was not always this enflamed for my Lord, but rather in my youth I was fiercely agnostic and even revelatious in my childish behaves.. But all that I was raised to be by this world has since led me to discover such blatant lies, callous deception, and illusory facade.. and at one point I honestly wanted to end it all, until Jesus himself plucked me out of my sorrow and despair to build in me a fiery hope and a love which continues to build within me, flowing abundantly to this day.

Even if you don't buy into all that Jesus taught and did for us all, millenia ago.. Know that I, yes even I am living proof that God can make all things new and restore the broken. He gave me life when I wished for death. He held me close when all my loved ones conspired against, and abandoned me. And He has just now inspired me to digest your post in its entirety, understand your sentiments and predisposed bias untoward one such as me, and subsequently respond in the Spirit of Truth anyway, that HIS love may be acknowledged and shown unto you, through me, even if just to say Jesus loves you and is waiting for you to ask Him to come home into your heart to bestow on you His finished work and to wash you clean.

The price has been paid already. The work is already done. This is Historical fact alone... but it is our faith in God, and earnest belief in His finished work that elevates us to walk in His love, and further elevate the frequencies of this world simply by existing in it in the embrace of the Holy Spirit.

You may not even read this because it's so long, but God is patient. God is good in all things.. and when you are ready to reclaim your purpose and step into your birthright granted to you by the Almighty, then your journey to the heart shall truly unfold in glorious and miraculous ways you couldn't have even imagined on your own.

Thus, I pray His many blessings and a hedge of protection & understanding upon you that you may grow in your own bountiful ways from this interact- by the authority vested in me by the Holy Spirit, and as always- in Jesus' mighty name, amen. 🙏

Hot take, apparently, but genuinely harassing or insulting anyone's religion is not ok.

Criticizing religious institutions, proselytizing, extremism, or horrible behaviors/beliefs done in the name of a religion? YES! Totally. That should be criticized.

Unpromptedly popping up on random posts by religious folks to say anything along the lines of "god isn't real", "the pagan gods are fake", "there is only one true religion", "[any religious group] are stupid/dangerous/barbaric" -- NO.

It's rude. It's unnecessary. And sometimes, especially in the case of minorities or oppressed groups, it's outright hateful. Theres nothing helpful, funny, or cool about randomly insulting one of the most personal aspects of a persons life. Unless it's invited or warranted, stfu.

You look up from your book to see your husband standing over the bassinet with his arms crossed, his brow raising as he looks down inside of it with a tiny scowl. He stays like that for about a minute. You sit up in your shared bed, then call out to him. “Ryo.” 

“Hm.” He doesn’t look up. 

“May I ask what you are doing?” 

“The little brat is staring,” Sukuna says matter-of-factly. “I am simply staring at her in return.” 

Inside of the bassinet, your baby daughter coos. Her scarlet eyes—exactly like her father’s—glitter with interest. You hear her giggle, and you scoff lightly and return your gaze to your book. “She thinks you’re playing a game.” 

“I am doing no such thing.” 

You flip a page. “Put a hand over your face for a few seconds.” He doesn’t respond, but you know he listens. “M’kay, now lift.” There’s silence for a few seconds, then your daughter bursts into a fit of giggles. 

Sukuna rolls his eyes. “I do not understand what is so entertaining about that.” When you look up again, you see that he’s covering his face again, then revealing himself to get the same reaction from the baby.

“It’s called peek-a-boo. It’s a game most babies love to play.” 

The little princess babbles as she lifts her arms up, and Sukuna tilts his head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.” 

You snicker. “One: You’ll figure out what she’s saying the more you talk with her. Two: She wants you to pick her up.” 

He sighs dramatically, then reaches into the bassinet to pick up the small girl. Though she has her father’s eyes, she has your hair, the shape of your nose, and your ears. She also has your fearlessness, because she smiles directly in the face of the king of curses. Now at his eye level, she reaches her arms towards him excitedly. “What is it now, you brat? I’m already carrying you.” 

He looks over at you in question, and your smile grows. “She wants to touch your face,” you say. 

“Why?” 

“Because she’s a baby, and she’s curious.” 

Sukuna pulls her closer, and once in range, his daughter lays her tiny hands against his marked face. She giggles more, and you can see his eyes soften. “Hmph. You have your mother’s smile.” 

— — — —

The next morning, you walk into the kitchen where you hear Sukuna speaking with someone. When he turns to the side, you see your daughter nestled in the crook of one of his muscular arms, staring up at him as he concluded whatever story he was telling her. 

“...At the end of the battle, only I remained. Victory was mine.” 

The baby babbles excitedly, and Sukuna scoffs. “Ha, you will do no such thing. How do you expect to join me in battle when you aren’t even a year old, brat?” 

Her face scrunches in what looks like annoyance, and she repeats to him what he taught her the night before. “Hmph.” 

You burst into laughter, and Sukuna raises a brow at the little girl in his arms. “Great. Your mother’s smile, and her attitude.”

Actually I love voting for the lesser evil. It's less evil. I support that whole heartedly.

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.

Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.

Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.

In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.

In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)

In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.

The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.

In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void / mindscape / time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.
