When Bullies Become Heroes
Some people were born to be bullies. Maybe life did them wrong in some way, leaving scars they now wear like armor—a prickly shield that lets them carve out a place of their own by keeping everyone else at a distance. It’s their way of asserting themselves, of creating a sense of safety by pushing others down. Or maybe they’re lost, threatened by the beauty and light they see in others around…

Ok so growing up as a PK and knowing Many Things about Pretty Much Everyone and then hiding in big churches during my deconstruction era might be skewing my perception of things so I wanna hear from the church on tumblr:
Edit: y'all. 400 is a big number, yes. That isn't the point. This poll applies to congregations of 50 or less too, it's ok. XD
#i only know a small handful of people and i've been here for uh three ish years#and it's really hard for a single person to integrate ok#but also wondering if the pk and ministry leadership job in me are expecting too much#ragamusings#polls#church things

heyheyheyheyhey. Voli. Plz make Authroity propaganda too I want him to win
hi! so uh. i don't have a solid design for Authority yet (besides "oh buddy you would not survive the ides of march, huh?") and also i love Esprit (skill of community and connections to like-minded people... camaraderie! being part of a group! my friend) and also this is not the main poll im focusing on at the moment [INTENSE ADHD CREATURE STARING AT VOLITION] but hell yeah, im down to make little a silly thing for them!! as a treat <3
^ yay!! go vote for guys who i don't have solid designs for~!! [tinny yippee sound effect]
WHITE CHECK: CONCEPTUALIZATION [IMPOSSIBLE] - Draw convincing Authority propaganda. +1 Love drawing the skills -1 Haven't slept yet -1 Haven't designed him yet -1 Haven't written his Character Study Chapter yet -2 Past attempts looked like UnderfelI Papyrus... -2 Rooting for Esprit?? -3 ROOTING FOR SHIVERS -5 Hyperfocus trained on Volition -5 AND VOLITION IS LOSING 😭
CONCEPTUALIZATION [Impossible: Failure] - What do you mean failure? No, it's simple, watch how naturally it comes to you. Just take the psyche purple, shade in the dark eye sockets, touches of glowing white pupils, a stern expression, awful eyebags, just darken the center of the face as a whole, add the… broken… crown...
CONCEPTUALIZATION - OH GODDAMMIT, that's just Crownhead again. This has Implications for your personal fanfic universal canon lore that you are unsure how to contend with right now. Sorry, your creativity has officially clocked out. A doodle will have to suffice.
#propaganda to me is just. draw the skill. there you go! usually some kind of call to action but since im an esprit guy thats probably not#the message you want hdkjh...#listen. authority is very important! he has integral checks in the game! he says very funny lines sometimes and i think hes neat!#but as a guy who is. frightened of confrontation. to the point where i dont even like dms? authority is not the guy i often go to :']#''TAKE CHARGE!! ASSERT YOUR DOMINANCE!!! GET UP IN THEIR FACE!!!!'' ''i'd really rather not :'] thank you tho authority!! ;-;''#auth is referred to as ''lieutenant'' here! volition is ''captain'' (my harry's signature skill!) and empathy is ''yefreitor''#(em actually has the most natural skill points but turns down leadership. he opts for being voli's right hand instead! besties :])#sorry i was definitely not the best guy to go to for this i have to admit hkjhd <3 im personally rooting for shivers as the overall winner!#with optional places for empathy volition and echem (<- ough. echem hkjhg...) and like. any motorics skill. i love the motorics lmao#best of luck tho!!! <3#volta transmissions#voliart#esprit: Dennis

“The sad symbiosis that now exists between the angry armies of hashtag warriors and the tattered remnants of what used to be called journalism has been the disgrace of both. Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite (do many Americans today even know who they are?) would cry if they were alive to see the disastrous depths of so many news reports today—and the terrible consequences that result for both our nation and its people.”
(From my blog Archive—4 years ago. Unless we see a definitive victory this year, the legal chicanery and media frenzy sure to follow might blow up our tattered democracy.)

The Righteous Kingdom
1 Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgment.
2 And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.
4 The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand. — Isaiah 32:1-8 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: 1 Samuel 25:25; 2 Samuel 14:14; Psalm 12:8; Psalm 72:1-2; Psalm 91:1; Psalm 119:95; Psalm 141:4; Proverbs 11:25; Isaiah 4:6; Isaiah 5:23; Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 29:18; Isaiah 29:24; Isaiah 35:4-5; Matthew 12:34

We made it to drum island. Do u guys think the live action will cut out Dalton or not
#i forgot he had a devil fruit#i feel like they will either cut him entirely or make him have a short cameo#they probably would want to save the cgi budget for chopper and wapol (no idea how they can do wapol in live action tbh)#now that we are past what opla covered i keep thinking of what will be cut / what will stay#and dalton while being a good character. especially for vivi and her arc about leadership. is not that necessary#we already have chopper as the emotional core of the arc and kureha is a lot more integral to the story and for lore reveals#so she will def be in the show and likely have an even bigger role#leaving little room for dalton#well im just especulating here#maria watches one piece#<- for organization purposes

What percentage of Kamala's voters are actually just "anti-Trump" voters?
This post is a response to a question initially posed on Quora, and can also be accessed via “https://donewiththebullshit.quora.com/What-percentage-of-Kamalas-voters-are-actually-just-anti-Trump-voters-17” (complete with typos because the space it was posted in doesn’t permit edits — dang — and the reason I chose to “upgrade” this answer to a broader audience). So, you’re trying to separate…

deseret book is more persistent than duolingo.
i ordered 2 books for a church research project on Black saints in the early Church and also in the Reorganization, on which the one book had a small section us and all had info from the our shared early church history, and it was an ebook too!
and i get physical mail from them once a month. i have no idea how to cancel.
herald house, the community of christ publishing house, contacts me much less, and i buy books from them all the time.
and oh their church book app reminds me to read my scriptures and the words of their prophets regularly if it's not in sleep mode.
i have to admire the effort behind it, ngl.
#tumblrstake#the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints#Community of Christ#latter day saint#deseret book#i highly recommend both books#black saints in a white church#and “My Lord He Calls Me” edited by Alice Faulkner Burch#she's really awesome so pls support her#i hang out with the genesis group bc i am playing with a similar group for community of christ#because the Black saints expressed interest#actually Black Saints in a White Church may have been elsewhere by Signature Books#you can read it for free on archive.org#and if you're at BYU you can access it too and papers on it#i'll promo them in another post eventually#white saints in my church don't get my vision bc their like “we never had a priesthood ban”#but i literally had to do the project bc they were speaking over us regarding anti-Black racism in our D&C#and people individually reached out. like Black church leaders. bc they be doing this.#we made so much noise and the first presidency reached out to ME bc i wrote a paper that spread through the church about it#wild moment. but yeah we need something like the Genesis Group and they were willing to help me out a bit#its too much for me to handle on my own tho. esp with the revitalizing our intepretation and use of the Book of Mormon projects#i always put too much in the tags. i should write a post about that and share my article#it was on our D&C 116 which is like our L-dS OD 2 on Race in the priesthood and specifically ordination of Black men#which they (some of the white saints) wanted removed 🙄 bc of the “ministers to their own race” part which led to segregation being allowed#but also explicitly affirms God calls people of all races to priesthood and also that Black congregations didn’t need white pastor oversight#so just leave it. and ig you feel guilty...cope#i personally believe it to be inspired but flawed#it was literally a mostly white church in 1865. not excusing tho bc some sects were always fully integrated like the Bickertonites#they had a Black apostle in 1915. representation at high levels of leadership#oh and women in the priesthood from the jump. if limited

The Standard Of The Leader
Good leaders hold themselves—at a minimum—the same standard for the rest of their team. But the best leaders hold themselves to an even higher standard. Check out this humorous story that makes this point so clear.

putting a tw here for racism, just in case anyone wants to give this headcanon a miss. this is a semi-part two to this headcanon.
I don't think the Guado intended for Home to be completely destroyed nor as many of the Al Bhed to be killed as they did, they were just there for Yuna to get her to Bevelle. While Seymour certainly gave the order to attack Home, I reckon a lot of them figured it would go the same way releasing the fiends into the Blitzball stadium at Luca. Scare the Al Bhed a bit, threaten them with the release of a lot of fiends, get them to give up Yuna, and then take Yuna to Bevelle without too much damage. But the Al Bhed didn't give up Yuna that easily and the Guado's hand was forced.
I'm 50/50 on whether or not this might've been a turning point for some of the Guado or if they just didn't care about the Al Bhed. It's obviously horrible to anyone with half a conscious that the Guado shattered a lot of lives, murdered a whole lot more, and pretty much forced the Al Bhed to blow up one of the only places they can call Home. But on the other hand, racism against the Al Bhed is still prevalent in Spira at this point, and there's nothing to suggest that the Guado weren't also racist towards the Al Bhed as much as the rest of Spira were.
Combined with the fact that the Guado weren't exactly very open with regular Spirans, having looked down on them for years, nearly causing a civil war because of Jyscal's marriage to Anna & Seymour's birth, there's not much stopping them from being racist against the Al Bhed too. It sucks to say, but there probably were more than a few Guado that thought they were doing Spira a favour by killing a few Al Bhed if we go with this line of thought. If they bought into Yevon's lies about the Al Bhed being the cause of Sin and everything, all the more reason to not care how many of the Al Bhed they kill. There probably were some Guado that were unsettled by what had happened in Home, not fully anticipating the extent of the damage that their assault would cause, and those that didn't care if the Al Bhed lived or died.
Yet, it was the slaughter of the Ronso that made their blind devotion, hope, faith, whatever you want to call it, in Seymour shatter. If the assault on Home and forcing Yuna to marry Seymour made them feel unsettled, this was the straw that broke the Chocobo's back so to speak. Now it's not just one race, it's two races, that they've just massacred. Regardless of their feelings towards the Al Bhed, they've not only got their blood on their hands, but now the Ronso. I think it was this point that they realised just how far from grace Seymour had fallen and how his descent into madness was dragging the rest of the Guado down with him.
Trying to cover up the fact that Seymour had murdered Jyscal and destroying his sphere, trying to get rid of Yuna & Co after they murdered Seymour, helping to release the fiends into Luca Stadium, attacking Home, it all came crashing down on them (Tromell especially) exactly what they'd done. Hindsight is a funny thing and I reckon when a lot of them looked back at everything they'd aided Seymour with, they realised what they'd done. What probably hammered the final nail into the coffin was Seymour being branded a traitor. I'm not sure when this canonically happens (after ffx perhaps? after Yuna's big speech?), regardless of when it does, Seymour being branded a traitor is what truly drives the Guado to realise what their blind devoution has done to Spira.
#tromell guado { 🪴 } headcanon#racism tw#I'm also trying to think up a reason why the Guado would suddenly be okay with Seymour becoming the leader#especially when they were up in arms about it 18 years prior#maybe they moved on and accepted it#maybe it was having the teachings and becoming slightly more integrated with Spira via Yevon#maybe after his exile the guado realised how nice of a person Seymour is and realised half a half-guado around wasn't such a bad thing#WHO KNOWS#it also doesn't entirely sit right with me that they'd stand behind him after he murdered his own father but whatever#guado gotta do what the guado gotta do I guess#who else was gonna run them at that point? tromell?#wish we had more info on the Guado and how their leadership worked#typing this out also makes me realise just how many fucked up things the Guado actually did in Spira

"If" Rudyard Kipling.
"If—" is a poem by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1910. It is a timeless piece of literature that offers wisdom and advice on how to navigate the challenges and uncertainties of life. Here is the poem "If"
"If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master; If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"
This poem is often regarded as a guide for personal integrity, perseverance, and maintaining one's composure in the face of adversity.
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist. He was born in British India.
Born: 30 December 1865, Mumbai, India
Died: 18 January 1936, London.
Childhood in India: Kipling was born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, British India (now Mumbai, India). His early years were spent in India, and the sights and sounds of the country greatly influenced his later works, including some of his most famous stories like "The Jungle Book."
Nobel Prize in Literature: In 1907, Rudyard Kipling became the first English-language writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. At the age of 41, he received the prestigious honor, primarily for his narrative mastery and his depiction of British imperialism.
Kipling's Voice: Kipling was an early enthusiast of audio recordings. In 1899, Thomas Edison recorded Kipling reading his poem "If—" on an Edison phonograph, making him one of the first authors to have their voice preserved in this manner. You can still find recordings of his voice online.
War Correspondent: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kipling worked as a war correspondent. He covered the Boer War in South Africa and later the First World War. His experiences as a correspondent and his son's death in World War I deeply affected him and influenced his later writings.
The Kipling Family and Disney: Rudyard Kipling's works, particularly "The Jungle Book," were adapted into successful Disney animated films. Interestingly, Kipling's daughter, Elsie, was instrumental in negotiating the rights with Disney for the adaptation. The films, released in 1967 and 2016, brought Kipling's classic stories to a new generation of audiences.
