Communal Prayer of Remembrance

from Siddur Sha’ar Zahav

O God, remember today those members of our family who were martyred in years past because of their sexual or gender identity: those murdered by fanatics in the Middle Ages, those who perished in the Holocaust, and those struck down in our own cities, in our own time.

Remember also those who took their own lives, driven to despair by a world that hated them. And in mercy remember those who lived lives of loneliness, repressing their true nature and refraining from sharing their love with one another. O God, watch over the souls of these beloved ones: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and help us bring an end to hate and oppression of every kind.

Whatever Bowie's up to, she's usually right in there. During the tours, Angie was the liason between him and the fans, even going to the trouble of taking down addresses and writing letters. Some fans even got Angie-notes from Japan.

Ney is definitely a magician 🪄 as others say coz whenever leo looks at him, everyone else disappear🥹🤍

SHAARRRRR I LOVE THESE PHOTOS SO MUCH <3

i mean we are always talking abt how much ney is in love with leo (bc also this mollusk head can't hide the adoration he has, in fact at any opportunity he is shouting to the four winds how much he loves leo) but i still think we talk too little abt how much leo is also in love with ney.

i always like to joke with the following phrase "date someone who looks at you the same way neymar looks at leo" however we have to change it to something like "date someone who looks at you the same way leo looks at ney" and god if that happens i know i will be the most loved person in the world haha

ney literally becomes leo's hyperfocus and this is proven (remember when ney had to leave this year due to injury and leo was clearly lost like a little boy in training?)

and idk every time i see these photos i notice an immense affection in leo's eyes so i believe that says a lot about what he feels for ney

ps: the photo of leo with his hand on his face always makes me laugh and this last one gives us the feeling that they are going to kiss at any moment (?) i bet they had to remember very hard that they were inside a field with several people watching them (not that it would stop the idiot ney lol)

𝗚𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁, miss daughter of despair. I have a bias considering all I talked about with @nerimoi, but the idea of two wildly devoted followers being cast aside from their goddesses is niche. Of course, this is speaking to Shadowheart pursuing the exile route, but I have my thoughts about the Dark Justiciar angle, too. In the former, both she and Gale have a deep wanting and gnawing regret. Unlike the other members of the group, they actually love their authority figure, and being spurned from these beings that had both their hearts and bodies to is a severance that rocks them a tremendous deal. Lae'zel has allegiance to Vlaakith as well, of course, but while Vlaakith cruelly betrayed her loyalty, it was Gale and Shadowheart that felt the betrayers. They feel they deserve the silence. They both have to grow beyond the guilt. Together, they share this terrible thread of being the former, ill-fallen Chosen, and watching Shadowheart fight to learn how to pull from not the Shadow Weave, Gale sees himself fighting to cast with his Karsus orb.

But pursuing godhood? Well. Gale has the potential to feel he deserves more than he's ever gotten. From anyone. From Mystra. It's interesting, though. He, as a follower of Mystra, is supposed to be directly opposed to Shadowheart. However, after being so cruelly discarded, there is avenue for Gale to work perhaps in spite of Her--this evidenced when he proposes that he become a god. There, he expresses a want to better the world. He'd use magic in ways he was never once able to, harness power with heights beyond mortal reckoning, and he would reach his full potential just as he's always dreamed of--and, mind you, notably craved for. I remember the moon lantern, how Shadowheart had talked to Gale over it. He was hesitant, of course, knowing Mystra would forbade him from using that magic, but Shadowheart told him to cast away his reservations. Forget Mystra. This could be yours. Do as the Dark Lady bids. It's manipulative, yes, but it speaks to that side of Gale that quietly wants that magic. He knows what's allowed and what isn't under his faith, but he's still a man with a ravenous need for knowledge and more. With Shadowheart, Gale can be something impossibly disastrous. And what if Gale does attain godhood? What would Shadowheart do? There can only be one god as far she's concerned, but if Gale, in time, becomes warped with all that corruption-hunger... It's a brainworm. Maybe, just maybe, they can forge a despicable, sourly beneficial partnership.

Shadowheart, Ms. Dark as Their Nights, works curiously well with Mr. Magic and Stars.

On the other hand, she's been known to answer fan letters for five or six hours at a stretch and it's a long time since June Bolan or Bianca Jagger did that.

saboteur is the route ever I thought it'd be ill-fitting for Eight but it's just him falling into his old patterns of never working harder than you need to especially if you don't like your boss and sucking so bad on purpose they go what the fuck I thought you were good at this what is wrong with this one. I want another agent. this one lounges around all day and says "skill issue" when something goes awry. he doesn't know what a spreadsheet is

❛ you’re lucky you got away with only a scratch. ❜ lbr , shaar would probably hiss a bit at wynter on her grouchy days and probably throw hands, so have caspian looking after wynter !

❝ ━ ah, no worries, i shouldn't have enroached into her space. ❞ wynter didn't always interact with the feline, more so out of fear. she never had pets growing up, so it was always so fascinating to attempt to interact with them when they belonged to someone else. and though she hadn't been successful today, wynter quite hopes they can get along somewhat. the woman winces as he cleans the cut, it's not big but man a cat's claws are nothing to trifle with. violet gaze slants toward shaar then to caspian with a curious moue but she wisely says nothing. ❝ ━ thank you for taking care of me. i feel like i'm causing a bit of trouble, ❞ she laughs, goodnaturedly, because shifting forward to kiss his cheek just as he finishes with her arm. ❝ ━ how long have you had her ? ❞

*Bullying Prevention Day at school*

Teacher: Nadras, what would you do if one of your classmates viciously teased you again and again? Nadras: Oh, that’s easy. I’d take a pencil out of my pencil case— Teacher: To write something to your teacher? Nadras: —make sure that it’s really sharp, and ram it into their eye at full tilt! My mom always says the pencil is mightier than the sword because they can’t outlaw bringing pencils to school! Teacher: *internal screaming*
