Jay Drabble

Or, Jay wakes up next to MC for the first time.

The first time Jay saw you, they had no idea that they'd love you. 

Ravi had a feeling. That's all he would tell them about why they were walking alongside the lake when a storm was clearly about to break. That deep into October, night had already fallen despite the early hour. Jay had their flashlight out, scanning the beach for the source of the feeling.

The water was a cold, dark unknown. Empty of promise or reason for concern. Kristy Edwards was still missing at that point, and Jay was half hopeful that Ravi might be leading them towards her. They were focused on the beach itself, looking more for a body than anything else. 

“Oh,” Ravi had said, looking out at the lake. 

Jay turned, a sinking feeling in their gut as they found what they'd been looking for. A body, bobbing in the water like a dead fish. Limp. Motionless.

Not Kristy, though. Not anyone.

They ran in without thinking. For someone so cautious with their personal life, Jay sure had a knack for rushing into danger. 

The first time Jay saw you, you were drenched in lake water, your pajamas clinging to your skin and your eyes shut. The first time they kissed you, it was to push air into your lungs, their hands pumping rhythmically at the still heart in your chest. 

Now it's six in the morning and they've kissed you again. Kissed you and more, spent a night with you that still has their heart pounding.

Jay lays awake in their bed. One arm is tucked behind their head, propping them up enough that they can look at you curled up on their chest. The other is pinned between your torso and a satin pillowcase. Pins and needles stab at the trapped limb, and they're trying to figure out how to escape without ruining the moment. 

The problem is that they're so damn comfortable, other than the dead weight of their arm. You lay with your head buried in the curve of their neck. They can feel the steady rise and fall of your chest, the warmth of your skin. 

You're here. You're alive. You're beautiful.

Dim light shines in from the hallway. Last night you stayed up talking for hours. You sat shoulder to shoulder on their old red sofa, discussing anything and everything. Leaning closer and closer as the night went on. Knees bumping, hands brushing together. Talking turned to kissing turned to…

Well. 

Jay smiles. They can’t help it–a giddy, excited, teenager-who-just-had-their-first-kiss sort of smile.

You both were distracted enough that it's no surprise they forgot to turn off the light. Other than the dim golden glow streaming in from the hall, Jay's bedroom is dark. It's late enough in the year that the sun won't come up for hours, and they'll take the darkness for as long as they can get it. 

This feels like a dream, a moment wrapped in the magic of waking up with you in their arms for the very first time. 

Well. Waking up with you on their arm. An arm that is, quite frankly, killing them. 

Jay doesn't want to break the spell, but their arm is starting to feel like the static that builds up on the surface of their TV.

They stretch out their fingers and grimace when the motion sends sparks shooting straight up to their shoulder. They scoot back in bed, slowly managing to wriggle their arm out from under your neck. 

They pull free, shake out their fingers. Blood rushes back into their hand and it stings, but nothing like it was before. They watch you, fondness and amusement mingling as your face briefly twists into a mask of annoyance. You crack open a single eye, looking up at them.

“Jay…?” you squint into the darkness, words sluggish with sleep.

“Morning,” they say softly.

Jay’s heart melts when your groggy expression fades into a sleepy smile. You roll over until you’ve propped yourself up on your side. You swoop down, peppering their ribs with clumsy kisses.

“Hey–!” their voice cracks into laughter. It tickles, and they shift away from you, but you’ve wrapped your arm around their waist. They’re trapped, and they’re elated, and this is the best morning of their entire life.

“You woke me up,” you accuse.

“I couldn’t feel my arm,” they grin, “You were crushing it.”

You open your mouth to protest and they can't resist leaning in and catching your lips with theirs. They pour all of their giddiness and joy and relief into the kiss, hoping that you can feel the warmth blooming inside them. You receive it eagerly. They wrap an arm around your waist, pull you in close. 

The kiss lasts for seconds. It lasts for hours. Jay loses themself in the heat of your lips. They feel dizzy with affection, and their heart feels like it's going to burst. 

Finally it ends and you break apart, but they keep holding you. You both shift position until you're resting your head on their chest and their arm is curled around you. It'll probably fall asleep again, but they can't resist the intoxicating feeling of you at their side. 

“Wow,” they breathe, staring up at the ceiling.

You laugh, your breath tickling their skin. 

“Was it that good?” you tease. 

Yes, they want to say, but that's not all. They're marveling because they never could have expected this. They pulled you out of the lake, took pride in having helped find you. In keeping you safe 

But it wasn't until now that Jay truly understood just how lucky they were to save your life. 

“Stay for breakfast?” they say instead, leaning down and pressing a kiss to the top of your head. 

“Sure,” you hum.

Jay smiles and closes their eyes. You both fall into a comfortable, drowsy silence. Hopefully you'll stick around and you can spend your day together, but for now this is all they need. 

This is perfect.

The Crown Jewel Edition: Queen Consort Clarisse

Before she was taken from the world in a horrific plane accident Queen Clarisse wore some of the most show stopping pieces within the Royal Collection.

The Pearl Wedding Tiara (Above)

This is the tiara that was traditionally worn by brides coming into the Royal Family before Queen Consort Ana introduced the Harold Tiara. The piece boasts hundreds of pearls which used to be embedded within Queen Morrigan's medieval crown.

The Fontaine Foliage Tiara

A tiara gifted to Queen Clarisse upon her marriage to then-Crown Prince Richter from her family, the Fontaines. Outfitted with priceless Celestri diamonds, it is one of the most expensive pieces within the Quinn Family's collection.

The tiara has not been worn in public since Her Majesty's death, though it remains one of the pieces available for use by the current Queen Regina.

The Cursed Dumas Aquamarines

These earrings are one of Her majesty's favorite pairs. She bought them on auction for approximately 500,000 simoleons from luxury auction house Kristi's.

The aquamarines and diamonds were originally owned by a Bordeauxian noblewoman from the 1780s and are thought to be cursed. The last owners before Queen Clarisse had acquired them died in a tragic fire which caused them to go up for auction in the first place. Three more of the previous owners have all passed from tragic accidents or under mysterious circumstances.

Many believe the original owner of the jewels, Lady Celine Dumas, placed a curse upon whoever would come into ownership of them as her jealous daughter-in-law murdered her in order to inherit her vast riches through her only son. Everyone who came into ownership of the jewels since has met an early demise.

Unfortunately, Queen Clarisse had also fallen to the curse only a year after purchasing the earrings. The last time Her Majesty was seen wearing them in public was at the wedding of her son, then-Crown Prince Vincent, a month and a half before the plane crash that took her and her husband's lives.

The Simtier Diamond Choker

This beautiful piece was a wedding anniversary gift from her husband, King Richter. She often wore the choker during her many trips to the opera, ballet, and broadway shows.

Queen Katrina's Diamond and Ruby Ribbon Set

This is a historical set traditionally worn by Queens of Lunaria since the 1860s. It was gifted to Queen Katrina during her tenth year of reigning alongside her husband, the Mad King, Edward IV.

Edward chose rubies to be the stand-out jewels in the necklace and earring set due to his disturbing fascination with the color of blood. Katrina wore them often in order to avoid her husbands frequent and irrational tantrums. Thankfully, these jewels don't seem to carry any curses.

Queen Clarisse's Loop Tiara

A lightweight tiara designed by Her Majesty for functions of State, the jewels in the center of the diamond loops can be switched between sapphires or pearls. Clarisse entrusted the creation of her design to famed Celestri jeweler, Notte.

i got tagged in a thing by @ficklepenguin !! thank you!!!

3 ships: Zack Fair/Cloud Strife, Ling Yao/Edward Elric, Lup Adventurezone/Lucretia Adventurezone

First Ship: Kristy Thomas/Bart Taylor from the Babysitters' Club. :I

Last Song: Cosmo Sheldrake - Come Along

Last Film: Across the Spiderverse

Currently reading: The Twisted Ones by @tkingfisher

Currently craving: I just ate lunch, so nothing, really.

fav color: purble

relationship status: I don't really like the word "single" because to me it implies that I would maybe not like to be, whereas I'm completely satisfied being without a romantic partner.

last thing I googled: babysitters' club bart (I couldn't remember his last name)

current obsessions: my own OCs? Does that count?

I'm supposed to tag nine people but I don't know nine people. Do it if you'd like!

Game 11 Reduction Fri, June 7 7:30pm EDT Indiana @ Washington

Starting: WASH: Atkins, Dolson, Edwards, Samuelson, Vanloo (Sykes out with ankle injury, Austin hip recovery?) IND: Boston, Clark, Mitchell, Smith, Wallace

1st Quarter Austin again not playing… Edwards reverses to open scoring for DC. It's person D with help for DC. Fever are capitalizing on our mistakes. And whoa Fever fans are audibly in the arena. 7-13. Stef hits her second trey, then JVL steals the ball and follows suit to tie it up. DiDi Richards subs in and marks Clark, nearly stealing the ball but Clark recovers and shoots from way deep—crows roars. JVL behind the back pass to Aaliyah who draws a foul on the layup. The Fever like to RUN. We take the lead off a DiDi jumper 19-18. Aaliyah plays nice D on NaLyssa Smith but NaLyssa gets revenge and blocks her shot on the other end. I might have to gif JVL trying to mark Boston under the hoop. We are struggling to play transition D like, at all. They are getting so much for free—9 fast break points in fact. Third throwaway or maybe even fourth straight out of our timeout. They manage to do it once more before the quarter expires. If we mess up the 1st quarter instead of the 3rd or 4th like usual, does that mean we have enough time to make up for it? It's 19-28. Yeah. A 10-0 run for the Fever.

2nd Quarter Well, we throw it away first possession in the 2nd, so it's not looking bright. Both Samuelson sisters on the court right now :) Stef pulls up and she has 10 early. Threes still falling for the Fever. Pace continues and NaLyssa gets a nice driving basket. Jade still playing her game—straight to the rack. It's Aussie on Aussie the other end Jade/Kristy. Katie Lou saves the ball off her own three miss and we look bamboozled. 27-38 We have 8 turnovers already, 6 minutes left in the half. People are falling on the ground a lot, sometimes the reason is not apparent. Karlie steals the ball from Clark and then we promptly throw it away. Earl is taking the team on her back this quarter. Lead has shrunk to 4 for Indiana and they take a breather. Seriously, the floor is slick or something. This didn't happen last night… Edwards slices through three players to get the layin. My jaw actually gaped. We make up most of the difference in points, but it's felt like a series of one-on-one plays instead of what one might call an offensive plan. No complaints from me though. 40-42

3rd Quarter Earl drops 3 on the first play. Kelsey Mitchell answers. Alas, a throwaway early. Indiana answers that as well. Stef goes trey and Kristy mimics. Karlie and Caitlin miss, then JVL and NaLyssa, and now it's a three point contest. Karlie hits her next attempt and then stuffs Clark on the other end. Good energy. Stef is the hot hand tonight with another three and the lead. WASH 3pt% 43 – IND 3pt% 38 (right now according to one stat source) JVL ICES Kristy on side step three. WHERE WERE THESE THREES IN LITERALLY EVERY OTHER GAME? We are feeling ourselves at the moment. 57-54 Fever crashing the boards on our possessions. Clark has three 3s in the last few minutes, running hard then stopping short on the last one fooling DiDi. Earl, unphased, with a nice pull up shot the other way. 64-66

4th Quarter The younger Samuelson drops a buzzer three as we get started in the fourth. Big sis has been playing good D on Clark, but the latter still makes two quick threes. It's 3s for the Fever and 2s for DC. Turnovers still hurting us. Stef clutch three. Mitchell left alone and drains her response. A bit of mess then JVL gets 3. It's a one-possession game with 2 minutes remaining. A DC miss, Fever turn on a shot clock violation, and another miss and we're still down 2 with 39 seconds. We foul but get fortunate misses. However, we go for a difficult bucket and don't get it. Mean D line comes out to go for a steal. Only 17.8 to do it. Oh good…we foul instead shakes head. Clark gets both. We need 4 to send it to overtime. Karlie gets us 3 of them. Mean D returns on Fever reset. Quick foul, Clark makes 1. Our 3-ballers line enters. Rebound and ball tipped out of bounds on our half. 1.4 remaining—2 for OT, 3 to win it. We miss, we lose, we cry. 83-85. Three solid quarters were in fact not enough to make up for the first quarter failures. This sucks.

Lärdom och Kunskap!

LÄRDOM och KUNSKAP! Begreppet "fakenews"är på tapeten idag, också i kristna kretsar finns fakenews eller snarare förvrängda, bristfälliga eller helt felaktiga uppfattningar, och då syftar jag på tolkningen av Bibeln och kristna tron i överlag. Detta accelererar ju mer vi närmar oss Jesu Återkomst, Jesus varnar också "Se till att ingen bedrar er". Slipprig tycks den smala vägen ha blivit där fordom miljoner kristna tryggt vandrade, i klassisk väckelsekristendom, väl beprövad och bevisad vara äkta Kristi lära…Många ränner hängivet efter predikanter och profeter, hänger vid deras läppar och sväljer allt med hull och hår utan att någonsin pröva med Guds Ord, Ordet som de sällan läser själva, i sin Helhet…En sorts idoldyrkan med en ständig jakt efter nya häftiga uppenbarelser, senaste nytt inom "religiösa showbusiness". Stanley Frodsham (som reste tillsammans med Smith Wigglesworth) fick ett mäktigt profetiskt budskap av Herren, här ett par citat: "Åh, mitt folk, ge inte era hjärtan till människor, och håll inte människor i beundran, genom just dessa personer ska Satan få inträde in i mitt folk. Se upp för hur de förför"…”Spring inte efter den ene och den andre, för Herren har din frälsning i sin hand, det är i Honom och i Honom ensamt. Du ska inte vända dig till den herden eller till den där, för det ska vara en stor skingring (gallring) på jorden”….Hör du som har öron att höra med…

Jag är tacksam att Gud lett mig förbli i och predika det "gamla Evangeliet" och Kristi lära, inget "nytt" men med oerhörd rikedom och stora skatter för den verklige "läsaren" av Guds levande och verksamma Ord… Guds Ord är alltså menat att förstås av både s k lärda och av olärd "allmoge", detta genom att Guds Ande uppenbarar sanningen i Ordet: "Men när han kommer, sanningens Ande, då ska han leda er in i hela sanningen" (Joh.16:13)…Detta gäller alltså alla andligt pånyttföda Jesu lärjungar, också s k "obildade": "Vid den tiden sade Jesus: "Jag prisar dig Far, himlens och jordens Herre, för att du har dolt detta för de visa och kloka och uppenbarat det för de små" (Matt.11:25)… Ytterligare ett Bibelställe om att det är främst den Helige Ande som undervisar Ordet för oss: "Men vi har inte fått världens ande utan Anden som är från Gud, för att vi ska veta vad vi fått av Gud" (1 Kor.2:12).

Men, innebär detta att kristna inte ska lyssna på de lärda och kunniga? Inte alls, Gud har alltjämnt gett t ex tjänstegåvor (herdar, lärare, profeter m m) till församlingen för att: "Utrusta de heliga till att fullgöra sin tjänst att bygga upp Kristi kropp tills vi alla når fram till enheten i tron och i kunskapen om Guds Son, som en fullvuxen man med ett mått av mognad som motsvarar Kristi fullhet. Då är vi inte längre barn som KASTAS HIT och DIT och dras med av varje VINDKAST i LÄRAN, när människorna spelar sitt falska spel och listigt FÖRLEDER till VILLFARELSE" (Ef.4:12-14)…

Paulus var synnerligen påläst, likaså många andra Bibliska profiler och inte minst väckelsehistorien påvisar lärda väckelsepionjärer som Edwards och Torrey m fl. Jovisst markerar Bibeln att Gud vill använda "de små och oansenliga": "Bröder, se på er egen kallelse. Inte många av er var visa på världens sätt, inte många var mäktiga, inte många förnäma. Nej, det som för världen var dåraktigt utvalde Gud för att förödmjuka de visa"…Men, Skriftens kritik gäller här världslig och oandlig visdom eller förvrängd sådan. Jesus tillrättavisade de skriftlärda och fariseerna för att de inte förstod "andemeningen" och syftet med Guds Ord, dessa förvrängde också Ordet för egna egoistiska syften (t ex Matt.23:16-25). Bibeln säger också att "kunskapen gör oss uppblåsta, medan kärleken bygger upp", dvs vi måste ha Guds kärlek för att vara uppbyggliga, och: "Guds kärlek är utgjuten i våra hjärtan genom den helige Ande" (Rom.5:5)…

Vissa använder sin kunskap inte för att bygga upp andra utan tvärtom för stridigheter, de agerar inte i Guds kärlek i Anden, Jak.3:13-18: "Är någon av er vis och förståndig, då ska han visa sina gärningar genom ett klokt, vänligt och gott uppträdande. Men bär ni BITTER AVUND och RIVALITET i ert hjärta, ska ni inte skryta och ljuga i strid mot sanningen. En sådan "vishet" kommer inte från ovan utan är jordisk, oandlig, demonisk. För där det finns avund och rivalitet, där finns också oordning och all slags ondska. Men visheten från ovan är först och främst ren, dessutom fredlig, mild, följsam, full av barmhärtighet och goda frukter, opartisk och uppriktig. Rättfärdighetens frukt sås i frid och ges åt dem som skapar frid"…JA, vi kan/ska både tillrättavisa och predika ibland tufft och bestämt Guds Ord, det är ju just Guds eget Ord till oss, men det ges ut i Anden, i kärlek och nöd ty "Sanningen sätter fri" och Ordet är "levande och verksamt"… 1 Tim.6:3-5 är väldigt klargörande: "Om någon sprider andra läror och inte håller sig till vår Herre Jesu Kristi sunda ord och den lära som hör till gudsfruktan, så är han högmodig och okunnig och har en sjuklig lust att diskutera och strida om ord. Sådant leder till avund, bråk, förtal, misstankar och ständiga strider mellan människor med fördärvat sinne"…På facebook reagerar vissa ibland i raseri och härjar gentemot Guds Ords undervisning, med personangrepp och hätska ordval, med ovidkommande påståenden, detta bryter bara ner och förstör, 2 Tim.2:14-17: "Påminn om detta och uppmana dem allvarligt inför Gud att inte strida om ord. Det gör ingen nytta utan bryter bara ner dem som lyssnar…Men oandligt, tomt prat ska du akta dig för. De som ägnar sig åt sådant kommer att gå allt längre i ogudaktighet, och deras ord kommer att sprida sig som cancersvulster. Till dem hör Hymeneus och Filetus"…Jag har varit tvungen blockera många "Hymeneusar och Filetusar" på min facebook…

Vem eller vad lyssnar du på förutom Bibeln? Allt våra sinnen registrerar påverkar och formar oss, likt datorer som fungerar alltefter det som programmeras in i dem. Så många röster och "förståsigpåare" överallt idag, alla vill de övertyga dig…Jag brukar vara försiktig (väldigt "kräsen") och inte låta mig överväldigas, det är sällan jag instämmer i allt en predikant säger, vem det än är, oftast pendlar det mellan 60-90%. Jag har sedan decennier haft förtroende för Väckelsepionjärernas skrifter, sådana som Pethrus, Barrat, Finney, Torrey, Spurgeon och Mangs m fl. Deras liv och lära "bevisade" sig vara äkta vara. Men allt ska prövas i Ordet och Andens vittnesbörd. En av få nutida förkunnare jag funnit vara trovärdig är Michael Brown, en lärd messiansk jude, känd från s k "Pensacolaväckelsen". Han har en väldigt djup och akademisk Bibelkunskap kopplad till kännedom om Bibelns ursprungliga språk, detta samtidigt med påtaglig "andlighet", dvs han har Både Ordet och Anden, och det är den "klassiska frikyrkliga väckelsekristendomen" som gäller…Jag vill rekommendera läsa hans artiklar och böcker, samt lyssna på hans olika program, han täcker en enorm bredd av ämnen så du lär hitta det mesta. Dr. Browns kända sajt heter "Ask dr Brown", gå in där på "digital library" och du kan skriva in sökord, vill du lyssna istället så klicka på "Line of fire".Här länken:

Om du inte kan engelska så rekommenderar jag "Himlen TV7:s" program som du lätt hittar via nätet. Anders Gerdmar och Per-Arne Imsen håller hyfsad nivå i Bibelkunskap, dock inte i paritet med Brown, jag själv är inte riktigt i paritet med Gerdmar och Imsen ;) Vi låter Guds Ord avsluta detta inlägg: "Vi ber att ni ska bli fyllda av kunskapen om hans vilja, med all andlig vishet och insikt. Målet är att ni ska leva värdigt Herren och behaga honom på alla sätt, genom att bära frukt i alla slags goda gärningar och växa i kunskapen om Gud. Då ska hans härlighets makt styrka er och ge er all kraft till att vara uthålliga och tåliga i allt. Med glädje ska ni då tacka Fadern, som har gjort er värdiga att få del i det arv som de heliga har i ljuset"(Kol.1:9-12)…

P.S! Käre vän, var inte en barnunge som "kastas än hit och dit och dras med av varje vindkast i läran". Välj noga din andliga föda, Vem du låter dig matas av, Vad du öppnar ditt öra - din själ, hjärta och ande till…Välj noga och sålla även då, behåll det goda och vräk bort det som inte håller måttet i ljuset av Guds Ordet, Kristi lära och Andens vittnesbörd, Amen

Tillägg: Jag hade ju läst 4 år på Universitet, humaniora, och min bokhylla var fylld med de bästa av "världsliga" böcker och litteratur, men jag rensade och fyllde bokhyllan med "kristet", det bästa…Jag var en dåre, men nu börjar jag få lite visdom och kunskap, oändligt mycket kvar att lära…men Guds Ord först och främst, sedan allt det andra. Märkligt, ju mer man lär sig desto mer inser man "hur lite man kan"…ett mysterium, måste läsa om det och lära mer… :)
