Praying Drunk
by Andrew Hudgins
Our Father who art in heaven, I am drunk. Again. Red wine. For which I offer thanks. I ought to start with praise, but praise comes hard to me. I stutter. Did I tell you about the woman whom I taught, in bed, this prayer? It starts with praise; the simple form keeps things in order. I hear from her sometimes. Do you? And after love, when I was hungry, I said, Make me something to eat. She yelled, Poof! You’re a casserole!—and laughed so hard she fell out of the bed. Take care of her. Next, confession—the dreary part. At night deer drift from the dark woods and eat my garden. They’re like enormous rats on stilts except, of course, they’re beautiful. But why? What makes them beautiful? I haven’t shot one yet. I might. When I was twelve, I’d ride my bike out to the dump and shoot the rats. It’s hard to kill your rats, our Father. You have to use a hollow point and hit them solidly. A leg is not enough. The rat won’t pause. Yeep! Yeep! it screams, and scrabbles, three-legged, back into the trash, and I would feel a little bad to kill something that wants to live more savagely than I do, even if it’s just a rat. My garden’s vanishing. Perhaps I’ll merely plant more beans, though that might mean more beautiful and hungry deer. Who knows? I’m sorry for the times I’ve driven home past a black, enormous, twilight ridge. Crested with mist, it looked like a giant wave about to break and sweep across the valley, and in my loneliness and fear I’ve thought, O let it come and wash the whole world clean. Forgive me. This is my favorite sin: despair— whose love I celebrate with wine and prayer. Our Father, thank you for all the birds and trees, that nature stuff. I’m grateful for good health, food, air, some laughs, and all the other things I’m grateful that I’ve never had to do without. I have confused myself. I’m glad there’s not a rattrap large enough for deer. While at the zoo last week, I sat and wept when I saw one elephant insert his trunk into another’s ass, pull out a lump, and whip it back and forth impatiently to free the goodies hidden in the lump. I could have let it mean most anything, but I was stunned again at just how little we ask for in our lives. Don’t look! Don’t look! Two young nuns tried to herd their giggling schoolkids away. Line up, they called. Let’s go and watch the monkeys in the monkey house. I laughed, and got a dirty look. Dear Lord, we lurch from metaphor to metaphor, which is—let it be so—a form of praying. I’m usually asleep by now—the time for supplication. Requests. As if I’d stayed up late and called the radio and asked they play a sentimental song. Embarrassed. I want a lot of money and a woman. And, also, I want vanishing cream. You know— a character like Popeye rubs it on and disappears. Although you see right through him, he’s there. He chuckles, stumbles into things, and smoke that’s clearly visible escapes from his invisible pipe. It makes me think, sometimes, of you. What makes me think of me is the poor jerk who wanders out on air and then looks down. Below his feet, he sees eternity, and suddenly his shoes no longer work on nothingness, and down he goes. As I fall past, remember me.

Priorities
#and then he didn’t#james fitzjames#this is supposed to be his berth but i didn’t care enough to do the proper research to make it look exactly right#in my mind this is the night before sir john’s funeral#or perhaps the night after#but anyway— this is directly after le vesconte and fitzjames held an Irish Wake for sir john (meaning they both got thoroughly drunk)#and then after they both stumble to their respective berths#fitzjames thinks to himself (rather hazily) ‘sir john loved a good prayer— he would want me to pray for him’#but then this is all he can come up with#and then he falls asleep in his boots#and then feels especially miserable for the funeral the next day#as is right and proper#amc the terror#my drawings#the terror#the terror fanart#let’s be honest this was just an excuse to draw fitzjames kneeling

Do you think Crowley or Aziraphale have ever drunk dialed each other and said something a little too flirty or honest or stupid?
What if he hasn’t yet, but in the new season crowley leaves the most pathetic, wet cat, blubbering mess, heartfelt message on aziraphale’s heavenly answering machine and the metatron gets to it first and erases it
#my asks#good omens#good omens speculation#aziracrow#ineffable husbands#i got your other ask about drunk praying but idk if it works that way? and i like this physical calling best anyway <3

aaaaaaaaaahhhh the church job i applied for sent a list of follow up questions which, while a (seemingly?) good sign, is making my anxiety and imposter syndrome flare up SO bad
pray for me????
#im trying so hard to not get my hopes up#ive gotten this far and been rejected before#i HAVE to put my best foot forward but im SO tempted to just...down a shot or two and say 'screw it' and write drunk and edit sober#the temptation to actually get my anxiety medicated is fierce and the only reason i havent is entirely bc of how the medical system treats#anyone with a mental illness. as a chronically ill young woman i already have an abysmal time getting doctors to listen to me and i cant add#an anxiety diagnosis on top of that as much as i want some assistance#oy.#lilac's employment woes#lilac rambles#anyway pray for me

That one time Gwaine got Merlin drunk
Gwaine: tale as old as time Merlin: meme as old as vine Merlin and Gwaine: *singing in unison* Beauty and the yeet Arthur: what- Leon: Don't. Questioning it only encourages them
#poor leon man#leon the long suffering#he is indeed suffering#merlin and gwaine drunk is more unhinged than the pikaman terrorisation just a few months back#pray for leon#he needs it#and he deserves it#for putting up with gwaine#merlin and arthur not admitting theyre destined soulmates#and babysitting the other knights#poor man needs a break#merlin bbc#bbc merlin#merthur#merlin#merlin memes#sir leon#merlin incorrect quotes

heavy breathing . i NEED to write a kitsune!geto x reader fic a la kamisama kiss 😞😞😞
#found one of my favorite geto fanarts ever#which just so happens to be . fox!geto#my beloved#augjhhhhh he’s JUST .#yeah#you’re just some guy down on their luck praying to a forgotten god but he takes a liking to you#maybe it’s more like a noragami plot…#where you want people to respect him again#he hates all the humans who used him for his services and then left him there to rot#he likes you though :3#with you he’s cute and mischievous#so it comes as a surprise when a drunk old man grabs hold of your wrist and instantly gets beheaded#… something like that .#he goes from ^w^ to . Swift Brutality#in two seconds flat#i love him#ari noises ✩

here's the thing.
in one piece's skypieia arc we see the shandians praying to the sun god 400 years ago bc they are dying of the plague and want to be saved. and then in episode 192 when enel is trying to sink upper yard with his huge ball of fucking thunderclouds we see the people of skypieia praying to god to save them, and conis wondering if god is actually real, right?
and then the scene cuts to luffy doing his usual shit and saving the day and dissipating the huge ball of fucking thunderclouds before it kills everyone and destroys the ancient land of the shandians.
which hits a bit different after finding out approximately one billion episodes later that oh luffy didn't actually eat the devil fruit which turns your body into rubber, it actually was the fruit of oops you're now more or less the reincarnation of the sun god, enjoy. yeah.
#and then luffy proceeds to knock out mr. god complex while screaming#what god wouldn't save anything at all?#while he himself does the saving. was this on purpose? idk. i don't care either. it fucks either way#one piece#luffy#monkey d. luffy#i highly recommend watching op while drunk#forgive any incoherences in this post i am near the end of the wine bottle#what is more. when luffy dissipates the clouds and the sky clears up#just as the sun starts to shine again#one of the praying skypieians says “god is real” or smth like it....#it's driving me slightly insane#luffy being nika from the very beginning

red velvet 10th anniversary. happy happy day. happy red velvet 10th anniversary. 10 years of red velvet. I'm a day 1 fan btw. I still remember where I was. rotting in my high school bedroom. when I check out sm's new girl group. I watch their music video. they've got this awful dip dye and the mv is so cheap looking and they've clearly been rushed out to cover up a bunch of the company's scandals. but they're such good performers. so charismatic. and that BRIDGE. shine on me let it shine on me. I fell in love and never stopped. their music changed my life. I spent my youth with them. I've spent TEN YEARS with them. 10 years of the best music in the industry, immaculate vibes, powerful performances, and more. I love you red velvetttttttt
#shut up boo#(van zieks voice) pray forgive me the discourtesy of being super lame and emotional on this monumentous day#lol i feel so cringe gushing about a parasocial relationship at my grown ass age. but WHATEVER. i will allow myself this one indulgence#yes i am a little drunk btw but not drunk enough to really warrant all this lol like id still be doing this even if i was sober#my 12th grade ap art project was inspired by red velvet okay when i say this group means a lot to me i MEAN it#AND IM SEEING THEM IN 2 DAYS AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
