Let me not be Ashamed

Let me not be Ashamed

Psalm 31: 17-18, Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon Thee: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous. On a sea of trouble, doubt, fear, and despair, David says, “Let me not be ashamed.” I looked up that word in its Hebrew form, and here’s…

Media companies will continue to cannibalize themselves with useless spin-offs of spin-offs and nostalgia bait while they let unique, creative ideas die because they don’t fulfill their profit fantasies.

Do you know how many of my favourite shows I’ve discovered in their second or third seasons through word of mouth? Most of them. It takes time to build fan bases. They don’t just appear overnight. Even in massive success stories like Stranger Things, the first season wasn’t an overnight success. Word of mouth brought in massive viewership, and that sort of organic growth just won’t happen in the limited amount of time these companies are giving shows.

There are so many more shows that I hear about that I’d probably like and give a watch—My Lady Jane, which was cancelled the day after I started watching it, comes to mind—but it feels completely useless to get invested in things anymore when these corporations are cancelling shows left and right because they aren’t the next fucking Mandalorian or Game of Thrones or Bridgerton.

Imagine you're some Inquisition lackey and the Inquisitor, an already famous decorated war hero and ender of the 5th Blight, looks you dead in the eyes and starts confidently pronouncing the x in Val Royeaux. I'd lose my mind.

we have law students instead of mentats. little (psychically) freaks with deformed skulls made suitable for their degenerate and unnatural thought patterns. very prone to being debate perverts and despot perverts. in competition with artists for having the lowest nature.

was just reading thirteen storeys casually and

Damian is walking slowly back and forth, holding a tape measure. His hair has returned to its relatively unkempt state, and his shirt is now partially unbuttoned. Beneath it can be seen a chest binder and what appears to be a battered St Christopher medal on a thin metal chain.

TRANS MAN CHARACTER

For Warrior Bites: What about one of the clans having a sort of dip, like a cat version of salsa or gravy?

mhhh fried grasshopper-poppers sizzling on the grillstone and whipping up a juniper-gravy dipping sauce. Warrior cat nuggies.

I initially planned for WindClan to be the ones to make dipping sauces, since they love novelty, have breadcrumbs, and have a lot of rabbit meat on hand to bread and fry. Plus the grasshoppers. But the more I think about it, it's the sort of thing all the clans EXCEPT RiverClan would do.

ThunderClan's dipping sauces would be fruity or honey-based, and they'd have a lot of gravy. Mostly they use these as marinades, not dipping sauces.

Because ShadowClan ferments and has access to vinegar, plus the marshes and pine trees full of birds and eggs, they have the ability to make something similar to mayonnaise which can be made into tartar sauce or remoulade. Not to mention their access to juniper, mushrooms, rosemary, and other spices...

WindClan is the only Clan that can bread and fry things, and BOY do they want sauce. Problem is that they may not have a ton of spices on the moor. They CAN make blood sauce, though, since they have so many rabbits. It would taste deliciously salty; rare before the Lake Territory when you have to boil plant roots to get that.

RiverClan is touchy about their food culture. They think raw fish is healthier for you, and prefer it to be roasted or baked. If they put their mind to it though, there's tons of spices and herbs to be found by the river. Not to mention that they can make fish sauce, if they ever decided to ferment it.

And SkyClan? While you weren't looking they just stole your ketchup. Sorry.

i just thought this was an incredibly funny chain of events. the song is 'my hallelujah' by autoheart btw <3

also, a quick ramble about why i think this is. due to the nature of the life series specifically as, yknow, an entertainment-focused youtube improv roleplay series, most of the ccs aren't... deliberately acting out characters with fully-realized arcs, and especially not relationships between characters. i mean, they're not taking it entirely seriously! as they shouldn't! it's a lot of fun to watch these creators just mess around because they're all friends in real life. but because of that, when you take only what's shown on-screen and separate it from this piece of real-world context, you get some like pretty messed-up relationships lmao. it's super fun to analyze tho :3

its really fucking hard to get a read on margo because she doesn't show up a lot, but from what i can gather, she's one of those people who sided with her spouse over her child

I started this blog not even a year and a half ago, and it's wild how I used to regularly have a queue 100+ posts long just by browsing the main Overwatch tag and queueing up all the art and funnies I liked. Nowadays my queue typically has <5 posts if it has any. The amount of art and other quality content in the OW tag has dwindled so much in a relatively short period of time.

I liked the size the fandom was around OW2's launch, small but active, with just enough new people joining to keep it alive without swarming it. Now the fanbase truly feels like it's on life support. What corporate greed did to this game hurts me in a personal way, mainly because it didn't have to be like this. It was such an unnecessary slaughter of a good series.

I am actively campaigning for a political party (go Labour! The least cartoonishly evil of the two currently viable options) so I cannot say this to anybody because I have to win votes and so on. But god, is it hard not to scream at some people for being TOTALLY FUCKING STUPID DID YOU REPLACE YOUR BRAIN WITH A ROCK OR-

Proportion of “Never” answers for the “how often do you have sex” poll thus far is like. I know these results are hardly scientific and correlation does not equal causation BUT. Feels like it explains some Takes I’ve seen on this website.
