#I've played with irl atheists and catholics and everything in between#but it rarely feels like faith is a real factor for anyone-- DM or player#outside of‚ again‚ divine spellcasters and Big Epic Plot Things#I mean there are a couple of 'RAAAHGH FUCK THE GODS >:C' edgy backstory types but#no one is just Normally Culturally Religious and it's WEIRD#like it's not even a matter of faith in dnd! the gods are LITERALLY OBJECTIVELY PROVABLY REAL#so what does that MEAN for the average person! how does it shape language? business? culture?#where are the people wearing holy symbols like amulets-- or the way modern christians very casually wear crosses?#blessings over meals? prayers before bed? burnt offerings?#and like I enjoy thinking about world and culture building but I know that's A Whole Thing but even just like...#it doesn't feel like anyone believes in gods at all except clerics and paladins#like they DO because they factually exist but in the same way I 'believe in' like. the president of france.#like yeah he exists and is important to some people but has no bearing on my life whatsoever#that's such a fucking weird approach to the DIVINE in a polytheist world where those gods are YOUR CULTURE'S GODS??#I am bad at this myself but I'm not religious so it's harder for me to remember what Being Religious All The Time Casually is like lol#funny enough my character with the most intentionally religious background in this sense#is one of my ones who's ended up wrapped up in Big Plot God Things lmao#'aubree starts the campaign with a holy symbol of yondalla because of course she does why wouldn't she'#'oh okay well she's gonna get deeply and personally entangled with a bunch of death gods immediately' fdkjghkdf oh!! welp#you don't really pray to urogalan unless you're breaking ground for a new building or someone just died so it's STILL weird for her lol#but at least I had the framework there of 'oh yeah the gods exist and matter to me and my everyday life and culture' in general#about me#posts from twitter

Ghost’s head has always been too wise, but his heart is nothing but fire and ashes.
A page featuring a scene from the fanfic solemn prayer, poppy in my hair by @congee4lunch! Specifically from the fifth chapter because the prose haunts me to no end, genuinely so beautiful.

Hello there! I read that you wanted to write a Benedict Bridgerton x reader so I want to request that for you :)
you can write anything but I wanted that they meet for pure case and that reader is a really cheerful, happy and clumsy person lol
idk if regency/modern, feel comfortable to choose!
thank you in anticipation and have a good day/night! 💟
Hi @shoyooss! Thank you for the request! So I tried my best but i think it came out a little cringy.
Could be the fact that i couldn't think of how a cheerful/happy person is, probably cause i've never been that myself but hey, i gave it a shot :D
I hope you like it even a little and i apologize for everything you will read on my blog :D
Thanks for trusting me tho <3
with love, Essy<3
p.s. the pigeon part is actually based on true events in yours truly's life :)
_______________________________________________
warnings: my mediocre writing lol
modern au
Pieces of paper
You’ve been looking for a job with no luck but recently you started working in this bar as a waitress, with no experience at all. You may or may not have lied on your resumé with having years of experience.
It was a busy morning and you were told to stay outside of the bar to welcome in the customers other than that you were also in charge of keeping the pigeons away from the people eating and the plates that were yet to be taken inside to be washed.
As you were fighting off the pigeons your coworker came to you. “Hey, when you’re done with that, help this man with his order ok?”
“No problem!” You smiled at her as you quickly ran inside leaving the customers fend for themselves. “At Least they didn’t poop on me!” you thought to yourself.
Taking a tray you approached the counter to bring the order to the customer: a cappuccino, a glass of orange juice and avocado on toast. As you turned around to accidentally bump into a tall man spilling the customer’s coffee on him.
He yelped slightly. “Wow, that coffee was hot!”
“I am so sorry sir, I didn’t see you!” You reach for your rag wanting to try and clean the stain on his shirt but by doing so you accidentally let go of the tray you were holding with both hands making everything fall on his feet.
“Great heavens!” you immediately crouch to clean up. “Sir I will personally hand wash your clothes if you let me, I'm deeply sorry!”
“It’s fine miss” He smiled and also crouched to help you clean.
“Well you could always say it’s a fashion statement!” You say trying to make the situation less awkward. At that he chuckled a little. “Really sir, let me at least offer you some coffee, i mean it! The whole breakfast perhaps? Lunch? Is dinner more of your liking?”
“Well that escalated quickly, I might just assume you want to ask me out” He joked and slightly moved closer to you while you were looking down putting the food back on the tray.
“Wou-would you want me to?” Panic-flirting was an ability you developed recently but now you directly head-butted him when you looked back up to him so he lost his balance.
“Sir! I didn’t mean to do that! Would you like an ambulance?” You panicked.
You help him back up. Only now you got a good look at his face and thought he was actually very handsome.
He let out a laugh in confusion. “Miss, really everything is fine, don’t worry” He cleaned himself off.
“I’m y/n, this is my number, i will gladly pay whatever damage i caused to your person sir” you say as you write down your contact on a piece of paper.
“Benedict” He offered you his hand to shake.
You shaked his hand, keeping eye contact, almost mesmerized by his eyes.
“Miss, I'm still waiting for my order!” The other customer yelled.
“Oh shit right!” You were woken up from the trance and went back to the counter to retake the order.
In the meantime, Benedict ordered a cup of tea and sat down to enjoy it.
Some time has passed and you were now cleaning up the tables.
As you passed near Benedict’s table he stopped you and handed you a piece of paper. “My number.” You look at him confused. “You still have to offer me a meal, dinner? was it?” He winked.
You couldn’t help but smile at him as you accepted the paper.

idk if i like them all that much but they do show the ideas well. also left nico does haunt me as, just yeah
#pjo#percy jackson#nico di angelo#annabeth chase#my art#i guess#will solace#percy with 'loyal guard dog' motifs my belovedd#also i just like making nico even weirder. and i think it makes nice parrallels with percy being sort of devine sustenence with being#like loyalty and sort of devotion in those you care for while nico is his oppisite with his distrust and his issolationism and how you can#(and i Will ) make them symbolism for the modern death of like blind devotion /prayers to the gos (kindoff?)#ider what i was thinking really but yeah sm along the lines of how godly worship has changed for the pantion since and how percy insured#they survived through Actully being their for their kids/family and how nico has this whole thing of just#complete nonexistance? idk but the idea of nico being even less welcome on olympus then his dad IS hilarious. like objectivly.#godhood au

Prayer to Odin
[[written by a member of the Godsring and shared with permission]]
Wōden, World-Shaper, Wandering God!
We come before You this night and ask humbly for Your ear,
That You might hear us in our place of prayer and receive our thanks.
For Your never-ending quest for knowledge,
Inspires us, and makes us yearn to know more than we know,
To do more than we can do,
And to be more than we have ever been before.
We come before You this night and ask humbly for Your company,
That You might walk with us in the coming days and keep us on our way.
For Your ceaseless journey through the worlds,
Inspires us, and makes us yearn to see more than we see,
To go where we have yet to go,
And to be more than we have ever thought we could be.
Hail the Hanged God, who searches the void where He hung,
For those lost souls searching for secrets of their own,
And pulls them out, gasping, returned to the land of the living,
To keep learning, and wandering, and serving You.
Hail Wōden!

God I wish my brain didn't shut down the moment I try to actually write down anything about my OCs/ideas/etc. I've got some freaks knocking around in here y'all would go wild for.
#My personal blorbo Asherah began as a knockoff Marika but boy she's a lot more now#orphan raised as a sacrificial priestess to the Sun/Heaven's Firstborn#finagled her way into being high priestess and kept the Sun at bay by making herself invaluable and sacrificing the other priestesses#which she never forgave herself for#she also sacrificed giant Kingdom Death style white lions which she would eventually kind of take up as her personal symbol/totem#uses a plucky barbarian hero who somehow managed to do the impossible and downed the leader of the invading faeries#which earned him an audience with the Sun#(who was going to eat him)#instead Asherah and the priestesses (along with the Stars who are cousins of the gods who got the short end of the stick) set a trap#and she and Ansu (the hero guy) trap/weaken the Sun in its own chariot/ship and slaughtered it (with the ghosts of the priestesses/lions)#then drove the chariot to heaven to threaten God itself into actually respecting humanity (instead of viewing them as prayer cattle)#bathing in the ichor of the Sun made them both Immortal immortal#as in can't die ever bc they're barred from the afterlife and infused with incorruptible divine light#They had a brief romance and a political marriage but neither actually want it#but they're undying and keep running back into each other#They both dealt with immortality poorly#Asherah became obsessed with legacy and control so that she would *never* be victimized like that again#nor would her children (so long as they do what she says)#and Ansu wants nothing more than to escape the destiny as hero king but due to being a basically normal guy/“guy” who killed two gods#fate has it out for Ansu#This was like ten thousand years before the modern day#basically all of the settings history has been these two assholes and their immediate family causing problems

me sitting down to write a diabolical and soul-crushing story vs nagi going “i no no wanna :’(” about every plot idea i have
#meanwhile rin itoshi is crying begging SCREAMING to be the male lead#his prayers will go unanswered though i fear…if i ever feel tempted to write for rin i’ll just go ahead and update my megumi fic LMAOAOAO#a pattern in all of my long fics that i’ve noticed is that all of the love interests are very intense people#eren and the rumbling + kashimo and…wtvr tf he has going on + yuta and the theme of resurrection + megumi and the role of duty vs love#nagi is just chill though like how am i supposed to torture someone so unbothered without it seeming ooc#imagine him in a song for the drowned JDDJSJSJ#y/n dies in chapter four because he can’t be bothered to save her from an assassination attempt#i do love him in peregrine though so he gets points for cooperating w that storyline#but there’s only so much angst you can create in a modern setting#m’s thoughts

A few years ago I had a mid-week PTSD attack that left me desperately needing a taste of Shabbat. In that moment I also recognized a need honor Shabbat's boundaries regarding time.
What emerged was that as I reached for candles the seeds of a new blessing formed, drawing on the familiar action to remind myself of an inner light I'm obligated to protect. Later, as a crisis line operator for The Trevor Project I began saying it before every shift to remember the sacred spark in our callers and myself.
I later refined that blessing through the Trans Halacha Project, and in that work was also was inspired to draft another blessing. While it was written for Transition Delays and Disappointments, I've found it helpful to return to in moments of disappointment that had nothing to do with gender.

If Jane Austen could write about my family from the outside and I could read it then maybe I would be healed.
#moving out has helped! but is there is not a new social life/core for me yet#maybe ever? idk#but within the actual family unit there is ….. so much going on#so much suffering. so much change. unbelievable levels of stress and anxiety and depression#like I really cannot emphasize enOUGH how much#and my parents are essentially full time caregivers#and I both want to help and be a stabilizing factor and I also want to be honest about how much of a toll it takes on me#because i think it’s A Lot#but also I don’t like modern rhetoric on any of these difficult topics and I reject it even though I use a lot of the language#hence why I need Jane Austen to do it for me#to bring this full circle#anyways if you could say a prayer for us. for my parents especially but also my sister#well all the sisters and my brothers!#anyway reflecting angsting etc.#tbh I would love to know the medium of the average family’s unhappiness and stress#Because I think ours is off the charts#But idk. Would love to know more tbh#I would love to know if a lot of it just the human condition! But sometimes I’m just like this is not normal lol#thanks for listening
