1 Timothy 5:6 The Appearance Of Living
But she who lives in pleasure is dead while she lives. 1 Timothy 5:6 In every city around the world, millions of people are always on the go and appearing to be living. Going from place to place, working, playing, everyone appears to be alive. Places to find entertainment and pleasure can be found on every corner and all across the internet. People love to have a good time doing what they love…

grabbing myself by the scruff of the neck and forcing myself to at least skim read a longform post or piece of text that i just scrolled past despite thinking it sounded interesting because it's "too long" i will NOT contribute to my own attention deficiency and limit my general knowledge and critical thinking skills by needing information spoonfed to me in bitesize pieces to be able to digest it i will NOT
#🐉#nooooooooo little online boy dont let the greater accessibility of information make you less inclined to make an effort to seek it out#dont let the pressure to work harder and faster and be more productive alienate you from the pleasures of reading

Izutsumi character study
#dungeon meshi#izutsumi#One of my goals for this year was to spend more time doing art studies.#What better way to start than with my favourite danmeshi character (not seen: a whole page of figuring out her features)#I feel like she is by far one of the most poorly understood characters in the series. Partially due to her 'late party member' status.#'She's abrasive and mean' - 'she's a picky eater' - 'she's a catgirl who acts like an asshole cat ' YES and that is the point!#Everyone in dungeon meshi is traumatized and messy about it but izutsumi is just less polite in how she tries to cope.#Izutsumi is a extremely traumatized teenager who has utterly lacked autonomy her entire life.#She is the epitome of a “If I can just have X thing then all my problems will be solved!” character. And the X is 'Freedom'.#Her epilogue was one of the best and wrapped up her character so wonderfully (WARNING: I WILL NOW SPOIL PART OF THE ENDING)#Because she finally gets her freedom! She can go where she wants to and she doesn't need anybody! Yet...it doesn't fix her.#She is so focused on doing only what she wants that she forgets her own needs. Sometimes you have to eat the things you don't want.#And sometimes you have to face the hard truths that you need more than just one thing to make you happy.#Life is not all about only seeking pleasures and avoiding pain. You need to be balanced in order to grow.#Eat your vegetables (including the metaphorical ones: I am eating more art veggies this year by doing art studies!!!)

Sometimes, I'm sad about the hobbies I have abandoned or have been too intimidated to pick up. But... what good is it, to just beat myself up over that? My bass is sitting in the corner, patiently waiting, and so is everything else. My life isn't over, and I've got nothing to answer to. I'm wading through a sea of time, and I'll pick up the seashells that interest me, and it's okay to put one back in the sand. The current's waves will bring it back to me if that is to be destiny. I can not hate myself into productivity, so I must swim on.
I think the same can apply to anybody. It's okay if you have dropped something, such as a hobby or passion. Human beings are like that sometimes, it isn't reasonable for you to beat yourself into submission. You, too, can not hate yourself into being a well-rounded person. You must cultivate it like you would a garden - with patience, time, and care.
#positivity#encouraging words#i feel like so often people will try to hate themselves into being 'better' people...#...like fitness for instance. so many people slog through fitness not because they are interested in moving their body...#..but because they are told they must do [x] workout or look [y] way...#...and so it becomes a chore that is a means to an end. but... is that how we ought to live you think?#like i go to the gym because it's FUN. i go there to have FUN. i do what is enjoyable there!#i don't worry about anything but if i am doing a weightlife correctly (for safety) and if i am moving and having fun#why would i go to the gym if i am not having fun? fun is a *human need* regardless of age!#we are wired to do fun things - to seek out pleasure. why should we surpress that?#a well-rounded person is somebody who can be in-tune with their feelings and can recognize what is enjoyable...#...and not only that but to not feel *bad* about their feelings or needs changing (this is - at least - my opinion)#i thought this was an interesting conversation and something i sometimes struggle with and see others struggle with

official finish-this-sketch-how-you-want post idk what to call thisSAMPLE TEXT
hi! I miss drawing with people in a café and some folks mentioned they'd like to mess with my sketches themselves and that sounds cool so this is now a thing. if u play gartic phone this is basically the complement mode! but without the fucking ring noise that freaks you out right when you're getting into the flow of it
few things are 1/there's no hard deadline! take this at ur own pace if u do, but 2/I'll also be finishing this sketch and I estimate it to take around uhh 3 to 4 days? from the time this is posted. so if that's a structure u like then let's aim for something done in that timespan as well! and 3/if u finish ur piece and post it and want me to see it the best way to do that is to @ this blog! above all we go into this one determined to have fun and enjoy. I already bought u a matcha latte with oat milk sorry if u don't want that
here I got u today a sketch that's supposed to be Riz Gukgak (SY) (grey bg version and transparent version for ur ease of peruse)
remember to have fun & be urself & finish ur drink & see u in 4 or 5
#not art#technically#idk what to tag this... I was thinking sketchboom bc its like one sketch many outcomes yknow. but turns out thats already#a company or something like that. and then I thought something riffing on the complement game mode but I cant think of anything for that#can we call it Fuck With This Sketch. pros: it would be funny. cons: cant think of even a single one#sooomewhat in the realm of dtiys. more in the realm of process swap or whatever the drawing meme was that used to be a thing#where like u and two friends swap pieces inbetween every step#(which is somewhat assumptive of what the process is to be fair. I know people who run directly into a piece blocking out poses in colors#as their sketch. and then just render right on top of it. as an ink-for-lifer their process is alien to me and we are like different specie#I want this to be real freeform u can do anything to this sketch. its decently readable for being made by me I think#if there are more than one character it gets worse. or if its full body or a first sketch for a design. uve seen that basrar piece's sketch#and when I say u can do anything to this sketch I mean it. if ur thinking ''oh they didn't mention a bg or painting idk if I should--''#Stop. You Can Do What You Want Forever. seek ur truth seize ur pleasure and call me a bitch to my face#sky's the ceiling and the depths of hell is the bar. draw with me. that is what this is for#ok Im done lets go. hope u have fun with the sketch! yay! yayaya#edit: well now Ive commited to a stupid tag this is called#Fuck With My Sketch

“We need more morally gray characters” you guys can barely handle topaz and jade.
#yeah I said it#hsr#Honkai star rail#topaz hsr#topaz and numby#jade#jade hsr#hsr Jade#hsr topaz#like they’re not good but their not mustache twirling villains y’all#yes topaz did mess up by not telling bronya the actual success rate if she accepted the deal#but you have to remember she was indoctrinated since she was a kid that the ipc was good and that those who surrendered to its power will#succeed and thrive#hell they may have used examples like boothills home planet as warnings#of course she would think the ipc is good and will#help jarillo#her home planet was on the brink of collapse when the ipc came and it was quite literally life saving#even though it did mean robbing the future of a population to work for them topaz so grateful for the ipc and sees it as a way to pay back#you guys are forgetting that she was willing to sacrifice her position and that she was happy the planet could be independent#now we don’t know much about jade but she doesn’t go seeking out desperate people#those people come to her and accept those deals knowing full well every detail and it’s cost#she may get some pleasure from it sure but she’s just doing business with people#and yet I see people view them as villains and yet not call out aventurine with helping the ipc take control of penacony#he’s a victim yes but so is topaz when it comes to the ipc manipulating them#topaz has good Intentions and is just following what she has been taught since childhood#look I love aventurine I really do but he’s not pure and at the end of the day both him and topaz are people they are flawed#they’re not completely bad or good#sorry it was mainly about topaz we don’t know much about jade and I might change my mind on her when we do

I think you're really awesome. You're gorgeous, you're funny, you have great taste in star wars memes. I wish I could be as cool and confident as you, but I'm honestly not a very good-looking girl. I know I can always work to improve myself, and I am trying, and honestly you're a bit of inspiration to keep me going. So thank you.
Honestly my love, I wish I was actually as cool and fabulous as I can come across on this blog! And I also wish I had the confidence to tell other people how much I adore and respect them in the way you have managed to do.
We all look at other people and see something we admire and aspire to, and i think that is such a beautiful thing, as long as we can find a way to do the same for ourselves!
I am so proud of the hours it takes me to put together a look for you guys, it shows my dedication! and I find my star wars posting very sexy of me.
#If you ever want to talk skin/hair/makeup/fashion/aesthetic thoughts or tips or questions or brainstorm then my inbox & Dms are always open#I love hearing/learning/talking about all of that stuff and you deserve to gain the confidence you seek!!#That would also help me gain confidence as well tbh bc i am so out of practice when it comes to talking to humans#Asks#I love when beautiful girls say beautiful things to meeeee#Ft todays makeup look.... Me as a purple flowery worm too sleepy to take pics....And Sabine at her favourite cafe where the staff know her#for your viewing pleasure

COTL Heket brainstorming + religious ramble about Gluttony
Thinking about the forms sins can manifest as in order to develop my versions of the Bishops...............
I been thinking a lot bout Heket specifically since someone pointed out that she could be sexually experienced, for Gluttony could involve taking pleasure in all forms of consumption (at least thats the way I saw it based on this idea-)
Which brings me to understand this sin as a whole tbvh, I always knew that every sin had many ways of manifesting themselves, but I never saw Gluttony as smtng beyond actions related to food. So Ive come to this understanding: Gluttony is the never-ending search for smtng to appease this hollowness inside of you. No matter what you put inside your body, ure never able to fill in the gap. This then allows this sin to extend to emotional dependence, drug usage, sexual addiction, anxiety-induced hunger and so on
Which brings me to the assumption that, based on my understanding of this, my Heket is very miserable Ever since becoming a Crown Bearer, she slowly developed a feeling that something was missing and was always trying to fill it in with whatever that she deemed to bring joy. Sacrifices, food, some sexual experiences here and there, but nothing ever actually made her feel genuinely happy. As time went by, she started to not enjoy the taste of things anymore, every food tasted the same and every other pleasure felt meaningless, like it was all on automatic. A chore she felt the need to fulfill, but not because she really wanted to
When she became a follower and the first thing she felt was hunger, I like to think that, this time, it felt real. She felt like it ached more than usual, like it wasnt some pain she had to make sure to medicate once in a while. This time she was actually hungry and craving to be "medicated" And once she had her food - offered by the Lamb - she finally felt that emptiness filling in a little. Finally tasted the food that was in her mouth again and remembered what it felt like to feel something Needless to say, I think she would cry once full. Involuntarily, but also happy to be feeling even that
Ofc she wouldnt admit to this, especially in front of the Lamb, but a part of her is really relieved to finally be free from the Crown of Famine's influence
The numbness she experienced for millenia surely left its scars, but I think Heket would be the most excited Bishop when in the face of new emotions and experiences, now truly taking pleasure in them
#stfu sky#cotl#cotl heket#cult of the lamb#cult of the lamb heket#cotl headcanons#cult of the lamb headcanons#love me religious interpretations#also because she would be constantly seeking out pleasure I think she would be a regular at Kallamar's gatherings xD#if he would do any for socialization heket would be there#i also think he and shamura would be the only ones truly aware of how miserable she feels

when I want to write something self indulgent to give me all the angsty and cuddly hurt/comfort feels but I can't because I end up feeling guilty because I'm seeking after feels that I feel in an inappropriate place because my mom told me one time when I was 15 that I shouldn't search that out or it's probably sexual sin but it confuses me because ALL the feels happen that way for me even if it's entirely platonic and nonsexual and so I don't know if it's okay to want to write to that because apparently all pleasure of any sort, even over platonic stories, is sexual or comes with a possibly probably sexual feeling and I also am having a hard time figuring out what's genuine conviction from God and what's just my anxiety/OCD/perfectionism/fear of failure
#like I feel like it's conviction. but also when I analyze it... I'm not doing anything sexual??? the stories I'm writing are#ENTIRELY platonic#it's like. found family feels.#but then why do I feel so guilty/convicted over it and feel better/less guilty when I stop writing anything feelsy#like... I guess I'm only allowed to write plot and can't ever write hugs and hurt/comfort anymore#my mom keeps saying I should journal all this instead of venting it at everybody and honestly maybe she's right#idk how to handle this but also I feel like if I just find a holding pattern where I can strike a healthy balance of lile#like* what is correct and healthy for me to enjoy#then the anxiety over it might pass? I don't want to avoid conviction though but like. why am I convicted over#writing a story where someone who's been treated like a monster finds a family who loves them#like.. is it because I'm seeking out whatever that feeling in my lower belly/groin is????#but that's like... so tied up in enjoyment and hurt/comfort to me that idk if I'm ACTUALLY looking for that#or if this is just what I write#and idk if that even is sinful in any way at all!!!#and why can't I just get over this? like I keep going in circles with it and it's so frustrating#idk this is totally tmi I just got hit with this awful feeling after work today and the only thing I can pinpoint it to#is this specific thing I've been writing. but even though yeah I've been getting feelsy with it... it's PLATONIC#ENTIRELY COMPLETELY NONSEXUAL. so like... is it that pleasure feeling that's the thing I'm being convicted over??#probably. bc that's the only thing that eases the feeling of conviction/anxiety/guilt#and also probably no one is reading all these tags lol sorry guys I'll go away now

Luffy the type of guy to let the dog watch
#my art#op#choplu#chopluzo#cucking#the cuck chair stays in the room at all times#zoro is such a jealous man who also trusts Luffy's bond and word no matter what that he gets hard as diamonds about Lu sleeping around#sometimes Lu lets him watch implicitly; sometimes he's ordered to hide in the closet or under the bed while the other party's unaware#more often Luffy doesn't even tell him bc he's too focused on chasing his own pleasure in that moment and immediately forgets#because the stranger was there/ they had fun/ and that was it#and he'll just randomly bring it up like:#'oh yeah i sucked that guy's dick last night it was pretty big and wrinkly!'#and Zo has to resist to urge to possessively hump him like a dog right then and there bc Captain hasn't given him permission yet~#with chopper as a crewmate and serious partner tho he's more docile and treats it more as friendly “competition”#lots of wingmaning to help him please Lu in all the places/ways he knows intimately#like a dog who readily accepts its owner's new boyfriend because it knows it has their unconditional love regardless#chopper is still new to human relationships but rolls with their dynamic it bc it tickles the harem-seeking part of his reindeer brain#“fighting” zoro for Luffy's womb during rut would go crazy#oops i went off in the tags again XP

I listened to this podcast episode a couple weeks ago that was talking about the rise and fall of tumblr, and it was so bizarre listening to the hosts explaining how this site is non-algorithmic and requires you to go out of your way to find people to follow so you can curate your feed....like the fact that everythng shifted so hard to being algorithm-driven and non-chronological that this is a novelty that needs to be explained is wild enough, but then one of the hosts started explaining how she's come back to tumblr from time to time but prefers the experience of curating her instagram feed by feeding the algorithm info about her preferences (engaging w/ certain ads and posts, hitting not interested or scrolling by quickly on others) 😳 and like I get that even people a few years younger than me have grown up in a vastly different internet culture but that's just craziness to me I'm sorry.....
#idk I haven't been able to stop thinking about how these are both things described as 'curating' but one is about like. seeking out &#finding stuff you like the other is about having everything thrown at you & eliminating things you don't like.#dgmw I can see how one can find pleasure in that as someone on tiktok & twitter. but it just strikes me as exhausting to have that be#your MAIN mode of expressing yourself digitally.

they dig up l. furius camillus' library and its literally all the most boring and fuddy duddyish stoic philosophy books imaginable. except one scroll. which is a poem from c. martinus to him that is so simultaneously bad and catastrophically, diabolically sexual that it melts those who first behold it into goop like the ark of the covenant in indiana jones
#ficposting#sorry. guys hours#i do think c. martinus has poetry in his soul. its just really really horrendous cliched poetry. combined with his overabundance of blood#(humoral theory for being excessively horny/pleasure seeking) and his atrophied-to-nothing sense of shame? devastating literary effects.#he is spending his days that arent taken up with war stuff or partying when hes not doing that thinking of hitherto unheard of thingsto#imagine doing to that other middle aged man.

Tag Dump because I'm tired of not having my tags handy.
Also NSFW headcanons because i forget my headcanons. I have headcanons but I only write smut when the stars align and two blood sacrifices have been made in my honor so no one needs to know these.
HIM's eyes go black when they c*m.
They are a nonbinary-shapeshifter but they prefer to have a pen*s.
Head game is insane.
They are EXTREMELY vain so when it comes to talking during its usually stuff like "you like my *blank*" "i know it feels good when i *blank*"
Believe it or not, HIM is a switch. They have no preference for either though. It's really just whatever they feel like at the moment.
They love to leave marks in visible spots.
Finally, the tags:
ooc. 「 monster fucker simulator. 」 ic. 「 lace a lie with truth none is sweeter. 」 him. 「 creature most vile. 」 mojo. 「 prove yourself worthy to a worthless cause. 」 musings. 「 delights of pain and pleasure. 」 headcanons. 「 to kill a god. 」 aesthetic. 「 luxuries of devil to make angels weep. 」 style. 「 dipped with gold and blood. 」 self promo. 「 fall in decay. 」 promo. 「 succumb to your weakness. 」 desires. 「 the taste of the forbidden 」
body. 「 all the better to eat you with. 」 fc. 「 evil always seeks to tempt. 」 answers. 「 look to the heavens and pray to devils. 」 jojoisnomo. 「 beautiful disaster i’ll eat you. 」 mojo and him. 「 own me i'll let you play the role. 」 rebelpuff. 「 what's the most you ever lost 」
