NEW COURSE: BOOK OF ACTS

The Book of Acts, also called “The Acts of the Apostles,” is the companion volume to the Gospel of Luke. It records the establishment of the early church under the leadership of the Apostles, and the activity and growth of the church during the middle of the first century. In the modern church, Christians often turn to the book of Acts to explore questions related to the charismatic gifts, and…

Ok, so i had another ask about your modern cotl au, but it involves the lamb, and since you haven't included them yet idk if you had plans or just didn't want to include them but

I had a vision where the lamb encounters Nari when he goes to a bar (to get distance from his siblings and also the responsibilities of raising a mutant child) and of course, the lamb flirts with him. Hes tall, dark, mysterious all that good stuff, and also lamb is drunk.

Narinder is not interested because Hes an assassin and also just adopted a mutant child that people are after, so there's no way he's trusting this rando sheep that's suddenly very interested.

Then, fast forward a week, Narinder gets his first job since the "incident". Its a covert job, needs to be a quick kill with no witnesses. Two person job, an assassin and a cleaner.

GUESS WHO THE CLEANER IS!

(also the lamb realises that this is entirely too coincidental and the handsome cat man likely doesn't trust them AT ALL)

I do already have plans for Lamb (and Goat to that extent) that I briefly posted a doodle about! After getting fired from the Assassin Hub that gave him his hits, obviously he struggled and decided to try and lay low with a normal job. Luckily, he had already befriended a worker at a cafe he frequently visits lately and Thorjulbre, bright eyed sweetheart as always, was more than willing to help his friend get a job!

However, funnily enough, it happens to be run by a Lamb that used to work like Baal and Aym that he maaaay have had a hand in complaining about and getting fired,,,

Lamb, already knows fully about Narinder's problem of his mutant daughter, having kept tabs on the raid and whatever happened after that (also stole the files from the now abandoned lab itself) so they promised Narinder that working for them will grant some. Extra protection to keep people off his back.

Lamb and Goat run a cafe as a front for their investigative and agent business. Yknow. To make sure their employees have a good cover up and for those that aren't on duty!

Simon has his moments whether you know it or not.

His father's words ring like echoes he can't escape from and no matter how hard he tries, he can't help but second-guess himself when it comes to you.

Being a soldier is a hell of a lot easier than being in a relationship. There are absolutes—sureties—and direction, and the twitch of the trigger finger or a shadow cast over the enemy's eyes was all the decision necessary between life and death.

But off the field with you, there's nuance, shades of grey darker and deeper than anything that's been thrown at him before, and he thinks of his parents. He thinks of his dad, a black hole of misery and hate, never offering a kind word and lashing out at the thought that his sons would even think to be better than him. Simon thinks of his mother and how he watched the light in her eyes dim over the years, watched as the cherished floral perfume and cheeky grin became a fleeting memory because the miserable fuck would rather have a soulless husk for a wife than the proud woman who could and would challenge him, and he fears becoming like his father. And every day he fights that battle and wonders if he'll ever win the war.

He thinks you could do better. Fuck, he knows you can. He isn't the most attractive nor is he the most personable. Bloody hell, he still freezes up whenever you surprise him with a hug or kiss—Simon's thoughts linger on these more than they abso-fucking-lutely should.

But then he sees your smile and the brightness in your eyes so unlike his mother's. He sees you being yourself unashamed, and the way you shower him with affection makes him feel like the most special motherfucker on the planet. He remembers when you first called him by his name and for once he didn't feel the dread or hear the lingering threat behind it.

So yeah, Simon fears becoming like his father. He fears it and fights that battle every fucking day, but you... because of you...

Shit, you're all the more reason for him to win that goddamn war.

idk about yall but my pms cravings get so random and absurd sometimes. a few months ago i wanted to go to the great wall of china so bad i cried and today i want to see logan in this i cried again, like. legit tears streaming down my face

and my brain just came up with apollo!logan x icarus!wade and i cried even more because imagine icarus came across apollo like in the woods or something and immediately fell for him but that's the only time he ever got to meet apollo so icarus tried everything to see him again.

when he found out the man he met was the god of the sun, well.. you know the rest

hiii where are youu:((

Hii @cricricorner :((

I'm so sorry for just disappearing as long as I did! Schools started again for me, which means I'm back to working, and I used the 2 week long school holiday to have some me time and get back into the things I enjoy (Gravity falls, playing COD, baking, drawing non cod things and sleep ins lol). My motivation for drawing has also just plummeted to the floor and I'm trying to get that back and into my life fully again!

Sorry again for disappearing, my drawing posts may come in big waves or very here and there rn :(💕

"In Moby Dick, Ishmael tells of seeing the skeleton of a sperm whale assembled in a grove of palm trees on a South Pacific island. "How vain and foolish," He says, "for timid untraveled man to try to comprehend aright this wondrous whale, by merely poring over his dead attenuated skeleton... Only in the heart of quickest perils; only when within the eddyings of his angry flukes; only on the profound unbounded sea can the fully invested whale be truly and livingly found out."

But, as the survivors of the Essex came to know, once the end has been reached and all hope, passion, and force of will have been expended, the bones may be all that are left.

it's so crazy to me how many ppl that try to assign claudia a last name in tags (du lac/de lioncourt/eparvier) are perfectly content tagging armand, famously never over his maker, mononymically

Another fun thing is like. The disparity of how I think of my characters and how they think of themselves and how they exist in the context of their world. I listen to a lot of new wave and most of Ally's playlist reflects that but he would only listen to classical music and either dislike or have no strong opinion on the songs ***I*** like that make me think of him.

Also ***I*** think of them as nb or even possibly transfem but those are alien concepts to him and he is too disconnected from the sort of communities where such notions would even begin to enter his awareness to consider such things, not to mention the mountain upon mountains of shame and repression and self-isolating resentfulness that would need to be scaled first, + these feelings are utterly redirected into his weird elf cum* drinking transformation scheme to transcend humanity. Anyways that's a lot of words for I always want to theythem him but that's not actually something he would like. Appreciate, if if it could even happen in the actual context the character inhabits.

*it's not cum but idk if the reality is significantly better. The goo.

Fair warning - I cried like a baby during the two-forehead-kisses scene. I had to put down the book and go for a walk outside after that. Be ye warned!

For the ask game- Xanlow 30 and 33

OTP ask game

maybe i should just put all of these under a cut at this point

30: Pet names? Yes or no?

laslow 100% yes. i think he's a man who says darling, lover, my dear. perfect. my love. dearest, even. i can imagine him using babe in a modern context too LMAO and goofier ones i think he could use jokingly at xander just for fun. but i think when laslow starts using them it's very notable to xander. the first time he calls him lover.... agh........ ;A; xander.... okay had you asked me this like half a year ago i probably would've said not really but ive been warning up to it lately. "my love" or "my dear" or POTENTIALLY something like "dove" would be cute. i don't think he uses them nearly as often as laslow does, and i think they're usually reserved for more intimate moments (but not necessarily always?). im always iffy w pet names bc sometimes its hard to make them work. but i think there ARE ways to make them work w these two, it just needs to be like. correct? lol. if u have ever seen me use a pet name in a fic know that i most certainly agonized over it LMAOO

33: What is their wedding day like?

WEDDING DAY SOBS SOBS SOBS okay well.... for one thing i do think laslow is a bit of a wreck. anxious to be in front of all these people, anxious to do well in a culture so unlike his own, anxious for what's to come after marrying a king. i think he'd also have a melancholy about him. his friends aren't all there. even if odin and selena are around, i really think the consequences of staying in nohr will weigh on laslow for like. ever. i don't think he'd be able to shake some of the sadness and loneliness. and on a day like his wedding, i think it'd be on his mind. EVEN STILL!! i think he'd be faced with a lot of joy, too. especially once he's with xander and they're celebrating. laslow probably voiced some of his anxieties leading up to the wedding, so it's not like xander doesn't know that he might have some trouble. and i think he'd do what he can to make him comfortable. xander is probably also very nervous. we know he has a lot more anxiety than he seems to, and a royal wedding isn't going to be without its fair share of stressors. i think his siblings would be trying their damnedest to make sure things run smoothly, and probably have to keep reminding xander that it's *his day* and he doesn't need to be in charge of everything, just this once. he's a little antsy!! i think it goes well, tho. laslow probably does cry and its VERY embarrassing. of course they dance together. i like to think peri helped to make some of the goodies and pastries that're served, too. and afterwards i think that a lot of the stress and sadness melts away, and they're filled with a lot more giddiness and excitement. they're married :) !! and then honeymoon in cyrkensia or something HEHE
