Daily Sermon #34

Romantic relationships are something everyone thinks about at some point. A lot of people feel pressured to get into relationships because, for some reason, they make you "cool" in primary and middle school.

I cannot stress this enough, do not force yourself to get into a romantic relationship. It will not end well and you'll feel worse than you did before.

I really would not recommend dating anyone, out of pressure or otherwise, at a young age (like from 10-15, whenever you start to consider relationships "serious").

Your mind is not developed by this point and you and your partner will absolutely make stupid decisions that ruin the relationship.

At that age, you might hear this and think, "well, that won't happen to me. I'm smart enough and I'm genuinely in love with this person."

That's what I thought and got into a lot of relationships.

Now I have trust issues and relationship anxiety.

In a romantic relationship at that age, you more than likely will:

- Be cheated on

- Be emotionally manipulated

- Be taken advantage of

- Be emotionally/mentally abused (maybe physically too)

- Be lied to in general

And it really hurts. You might think, "my partner is an absolute angel who loves me! That would never happen!"

And if that's true, perfect, congratulations. But in young relationships, you really should be cautious (not paranoid) about it. There are people who have been married for 10+ years and never saw themselves cheating, who have cheated on their spouse. It can happen to anyone. Please be careful.

And PLEASE have some self respect.

In the early stages of a relationship (the "honeymoon phase"), it's very easy to put your partner on a pedestal and see them as so much better than you.

Don't.

If they start taking advantage of you or abusing you in any way, you'll force yourself to look past it because you got so attached to them.

This isn't victim blaming, it's hardly ever your fault when these things happen and it's very hard to break it off when they do, let alone see it as a problem.

All I'm asking is for you to try and see that you don't deserve to be treated like that. Try to be strong and end things when you start seeing red flags.

I know it's easier said than done, I know it is, just make sure you're talking to a trusted person about this stuff. Having an outside view on your relationship can REALLY put things in perspective.

Just be careful out there. Relationships can be so beautiful, but they're so hard and can be so draining.

[meirimerens]

don't remember when where or how I read an interrogation about how blood could still be given to the earth and that human sacrifices would be needed to keep the herbs growing (likely paraphrasing because as mentioned above i don't rember💀) but I've always thought [regardless of if the narrative is based enough to mean it] that

Villain type character for my AU, Otis

Also, I should mention that the canon name for the hetaloids in my AU is 'Embodied Nations' so ill be referring to them as EN for short form.

Otis was born about 5,000 years ago, and he had his whole family murdered by Ivan - who went by the name Goliath at the time (due to his immense stature as a Flesh beast): Goliath was looking for a worthy human to fuse with, as he caught word from other flesh beasts the benefit of fusing with a human, but he didn't just simply wanted to find a random human; He wanted to have some fun with it. So, he told his worshippers that the man who kills the most people would be a worthy sacrifice and would spend their afterlife in paradise. One man managed to slaughter his entire village, however, he was forced by Goliath to kill his own family: the man couldn't do it - Goliath urges him, trying to convince him that his family would see the same afterlife paradise as he would. The man attempts to kill, but the cries from his children prevent him. Goliath gets inpatient and obliterates the man’s family right in front of him, then stating that he made up the whole thing about him and his family going to heaven and that he killed all those people for Goliath’s amusement, just for added nonsensical cruelty. Then he fuses with the man.

However, from sheer luck, one child survives of the family - that being Otis. Goliath, now Ivan (Still goes by the name Russia or Russias embodied nation in modern times) in his new human form and mind, has no urge to kill the child. He finds it odd, it is the first time he's never had an urge to kill (not in the way that he inherited the man’s compassion for his child, more so the human baseline cognitive state of not wanting to kill a child), so he lets that kid go roam the tundra. Otis was then eventually found by Pangea’s cult, and then over time he became the high priest, he still believed that the cruelty inflicted by the Flesh beasts/ENs were for a good reason - The memories of Goliath slaughtering his family was very foggy due to his very young age at the time, and viewed Ivan setting him free to the tundra as like. Some divine plan or some bullshit lol. 

But over time Otis and the rest of Pangea's Cult kept being ridiculed and mistreated by the ENs (example: ENs held a human taxidermy contest using the cultists, telling them that sacrifices would go to heaven if they participated) Otis eventually saw the EN’s as the parasites they are, and disbanded from the cult for the new purpose of eliminating the EN’s - believing that if they destroy the ENs, world peace is brought forth, essentially believing all despair, greed, power hungriness, turmoil, war, famine, climate change and the very human sin is caused by humanities' connection with the ENs.

Otis started to study their biology or any weakness they might have had. However, the cult grew smaller and smaller with time, as they lost hope in ever trying to overthrow literal god-like beings and found it easier to simply live under their rule. Otis never gave up; however, his old age was getting the best of him… desperate to continue his work, he found ancient fossilized flesh beasts and started experimenting on himself by injecting small amounts of it into him. Over time, like the process of building venom immunity, the flesh beast material didn't kill him, but in fact made him somewhat immortal. He doesn't have the super strength of an EN nor the super healing, only being able to live forever. He is somewhat like a living mummy, as his skin and organs atrophied over the centuries of injecting the flesh beast material. In modern times, Otis is the only surviving Pangea Cult member, and while the EN’s are MUCH tamer than they are in modern times, he still has the belief that by removing them - the world would be way better off - as well somewhat motivated by revenge against Goliath/Ivan.

Pangea cultist designs - high priest being Otis pre fossil injection design

Bonus comic of Otis capturing Ivan - showcasing ENs only weakness (from non-ENs) is high voltage, which causes them mild paralysis. There was more to the comic where theres an exposition introducing Otis and his motivation, Ivan scoffs at him, finding it amusing at the very least. He's never seen a revolution from humans like this before. However, he slowly grows more concerned as he's unable to break through the restraints, and Otis able to inflict wounds on him due to him using the remains of long dead flesh beasts to make his weapons.

So as I'm working on some actual plot for my little au, I also wanted to share some notes about Matthew/Canada that I dont think ive shared here yet (besides the fic that I drew fanart for which shares the same idea of his angst being an embodied nation/immortal pseudo god) which is that Matthew hates being what he is. He wants to be a normal human. He even larps on college campuses pretending that he is one

so we have Otis, dude who wants to destroy hetaloids.. and we have an hetaloid who wants to be a human.. and is desperate to be one...and could be potentially taken advantage of under the guise of being transformed into a human and not as a research subject to be used to destroy hetaloids... food for thought.

Daily Sermon #49

If I remember correctly, Lamb's favourite ritual is Sacrifice of the Flesh.

It's very meaningful on multiple levels. For one thing, being so devout that you would literally give me your life willingly is representative of how much you trust me and how well of a job I'm doing raising a cult.

It also shows that you truly do care about the cause, to donate your life force to me to help me grow more powerful.

And for those witnessing and assisting, they should feel happy for their fellow cult member, for they have truly gone to a better place for their services.

Not to mention the absolute miracle it is to bear witness to such a glorious event.

I do not require you to lay down your life for me, though those who do so are certainly favoured.

Death brings fear to some, which is understandable, but in this case, it should instill awe and hope!

The most worthy sacrifice will die happily for me, for they put the cult's cause above their own life. It's what they want. It's what I want. And it's what you all want.

A sacrifice is the bonding of a cult member and their leader and it is a wonderful, beautiful thing.

[the-most-humble-blog]

🛐 A HUNTING KNIFE, A PHOTO, AND A DEATH WISH —That’s How Men Love, If You’re Worth It.

---

Ever notice the loner?

Not the brooding love interest. Not the main protagonist. Not the clean-shaven golden boy with perfect narrative arc clearance.

I’m talking about that bastard who shows up halfway through the story. The guy with the thousand-yard stare, a stitched-up shoulder wound, and a past that’s heavier than the final boss’s power armor.

He’s the one who walks in without a proper intro. He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He just hands the hero a weapon and says:

“You’ll need this.”

And when the smoke clears? He’s already dying — spitting in the face of a god-tier villain with half a blade lodged in his liver and zero fucking fear in his eyes.

That man?

That’s not a side character. That’s male devotion, in its final, nuclear form.

He didn’t just show up to help.

He showed up to make sure your name was carved into the DNA of something immortal — so even if the demon survived, even if the warlord laughed, even if the ancient, interdimensional soul-eater moved on to its next conquest…

It would carry you inside its scar tissue. Because one man — a talking monkey with a hunting knife — made it bleed for you.

Let me be clear.

This isn’t romantic. This isn’t “soft.” This isn’t a Hallmark card with chest hair.

This is revenge-shaped grief. This is Eros in full military gear. This is love with no survival plan.

Because sometimes the man wasn’t trying to live.

He was trying to make sure your name was screamed into the enemy’s fucking retina by a dying man who didn’t beg — he grinned.

The Mythic Blueprint

Picture this:

He finds your body.

Maybe you were violated.

Maybe not.

Doesn’t matter.

What matters is what ignites.

He doesn’t cry. He doesn’t scream. He just reaches into his chest and pulls out one last thing that still matters:

A crumpled photo. Your face — from better days.

And he says nothing. Because what he’s about to do doesn’t need words. He grabs his old gear. He sharpens the blade he promised he’d never use again. And he dedicates the last beat of his mortality to vengeance in your name.

Not justice. Not closure.

A goddamn holy war with one purpose: To make sure they remember you.

“BUT WHY?”

---

Because men like this don’t believe in closure.

They believe in scars. They believe in revenge that educates. They believe in making monsters remember. Not just what they did — but who you were, and what had to crawl away in shame after your name was screamed at it by a dying man with no backup and nothing left to lose.

That’s what love looks like after the story ends.

THE MODERN TRAGEDY?

You’ve been taught this kind of love is toxic. Dangerous. Outdated. Too much. Too intense. Too possessive.

Because the world doesn’t want men like this anymore.

The world wants men who ask for a manager, not a blade.

The world wants men who process, not men who go out on their shields.

And yet — Every one of you reading this knows exactly who I’m talking about.

Because he’s real.

You’ve seen him in movies. You’ve heard him in war stories. You’ve dated his weaker cousin and wondered why it didn’t work.

He’s the man with no plan B, because plan A was you.

So Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’ve ever had a man look at you like you’re the last thing on this fucked-up planet worth protecting and you shrugged it off because he wasn’t cool, or rich, or exciting enough—

You didn’t just lose a boyfriend.

You lost a man who would’ve died to make your memory eternal.

Not for Instagram. Not for applause. Not for some dumbass gender role.

But because you were his oath.

And when you died — or when he thought you did (physically, emotionally, spiritually, whatever) — he didn’t move on.

He moved in. To war. To ruin. To hell.

The Cinematic Examples

Russell Casse – Independence Day He was laughed at. Mocked. Written off. Until the day came when humanity needed one man with a jet and a death wish. He didn’t have plot armor. He had a crumpled photo of his family and nothing left to lose. He looked death in the face and delivered a punchline mid-suicide mission. The villain didn’t get to win. Because Russell made sure even an alien hive mind remembered the taste of a human’s final fuck-you.

Boromir – Lord of the Rings Flawed. Tempted. But in the end? He stood over the hobbits like they were his own blood. Arrow after arrow. Until his knees buckled under honor paid in red.

---

T-800 – Terminator 2 He was programmed to protect. But something happened. He learned to love. And at the end, he didn’t just complete a mission. He chose to go into the fire. Alone. Smiling. Because that’s what it took to keep the people he cared about alive.

This Is How Men Love

Not all men. But the ones worth writing stories about?

They love like this.

With old weapons.

With zero fear.

With loyalty that outlasts reason.

And yes, sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes they die. Sometimes it’s not reciprocated.

But if you’ve ever had one like that?

Don’t call it “too much.” Call it what it is: Myth. Made. Flesh.

---

🧠 TL;DR (Which Means You’re Already Too Late)

A hunting knife. A photo. A death wish.

That’s how real men love —if you’re worth it.

If that scares you? Good.

Because you don’t get that kind of love without being the kind of woman he’d scream your name into eternity for as his own blood filled his boots.
