His Kingdom, His Power, My Glory
Gary thinks it'll be a good idea to infiltrate the church. A tired priest, with an adorable face, reminds him why that's a bad idea.
Gary smirked as he pulled the hood of his jacket tighter. This plan was genius. Why keep sending cultists to sneak into the church in the dead of night to make a mess of things when he could just spark turmoil in the middle of the day. The best part, they wouldn't kick him out, and they wouldn't know he was doing it. Perfect.
"Morning Father," he nodded, walking right past the priest standing at the door, greeting church-goers.
"Good morning! I- oh hold on!" The priest grabbed Gary by the sleeve, pulling him back slightly, "You're new here aren't you?"
"Ah, was it that obvious?" Gary smiled, fearing that his genius may have betrayed him already.
"Just a bit," The priest chuckled. Gary got a good look at him, he had dark brown hair, and royal blue eyes that seemed to glow. Gary could have gotten lost in that expression for hours, but he had a mission to attend to, he had far more important manners than pretty boys to worry about, "We actually have a rule, no hats or hoods in the congregation."
"Oh? My apologies," Gary said, pulling his hood down, "My old church was a bit less strict."
"No sunglasses either unfortunately," the priest smiled, but his grip on Gary's sleeve tightened.
"Afraid I can't do that," Gary said, "Got a bad eye disease. Don't wanna scare the kids away."
"Hmm," the priest's look was brimming with disappointment, but he resigned, "Alright then, we will keep you in our prayers, but please consider how you're affecting other members of the church."
"Yes, sorry Father," Gary chuckled, wanting to sigh in relief. He would not have been able to explain the peculiar case of his eyes to the priest.
Once he took a seat, he grinned ear to ear. What a fool the priest must have been to believe such a stupid lie. Regardless, the sermon was starting soon. From here Gary would be able to learn just what happens at a church service, and just how he can tear it apart.
As it turns out, there was too much sitting and standing. Too much listening and not nearly enough talking. Too much and not enough of everything, it was mind numbingly dull. Not even the Order would stoop so low as to make it's devoted followers sit for an hour doing nothing with no freedom to move.
But Gary-begrudgingly-endured it. He was certain that eventually something would happen that would be worth it. Then again, if he had to endure one more of those godforsaken psalms! They weren't quite songs, because a song required being good.
Eventually he found something, a payoff. The priest who had greeted him at the door had finished reading the gospel, and he spoke directly to the audience.
"God loves us all," he began, speaking slowly. You could hear the sound of his careful thought between each word he spoke, "The other day a woman had come to me asking how I knew."
This was perfect! If he wasn't reading off of the text then that only meant one thing, an open discussion. And when people spoke without reading off of their source, they were prone to making mistakes. And one slip up would be enough to pick him apart piece by piece.
"So I was open with her," he said, "I have suffered loss, divorce, and failures over and over again."
"Sounds like God hates you!" Gary shouted. As soon as he spoke everyone turned to him. A smirk was plastered on his face. He'd win over the crowd in twelve seconds flat.
The priest just gave him a tired glare before he continued speaking, "Despite my grievances, I still have the privilege of waking up every day. I have a new chance to prove myself every day. And the Lord tells me that I am his child and he will continue walking with me."
"I thought Jesus was the only son of God!" Gary yelled. He did his homework. Well, he read just enough to know where the hypocrisies stood out.
"We are all children of God under Abraham," the priest spoke through grit teeth, "We will be going over that next week."
"Sounds like God needs to close his legs!" Gary's smirk was growing into a grin.
"Alright," the priest took a deep breath, "Let's start over, since you clearly seem confused. I was trying to explain to a woman that God loves her and is with her through her every struggle. And to do so, I used my own life as an example."
"How did you manage to prove it?" Gary said, "Hey! Father! How do you know it's actually God talking!? Are you-"
"Some of us clearly need to start working on our relationship with the Lord!" The priest said, his chest rising and falling quickly as he tried to calm himself, "Some far, far more than others, but regardless. God is patient and will wait for us until the end of time."
"If God's so patient why are you getting so upset?" Gary argued.
"God is a patient man, I am not," John said calmly, "And that's okay! Because God gives us strength. Strength to overcome any challenge like frustration, or an inability to respect your church leaders."
"I fail to see how-"
"God gives us strength!" The priest spoke over him, "I believe we all have it in us to become better people through the Lord. Amen!"
Gary wanted to speak up, but the congregation seems to have accepted it was time to shut up. Unbelievable. How does a man who looks so pathetic manage to control the situation so well? Oh well, at least he can still figure out the weak points in the sermon simply by listening.
Meanwhile, said priest was glaring at him. A far older priest had taken over, but he still was looking straight through Gary with furrowed brows. Gary stared back, not that the priest could see past his sunglasses.
When the sermon was over, Gary was about ready to collapse. How does an hour of doing absolutely nothing become so exhausting? He would never blame his acolytes for their boredom during a meeting ever again.
He stood, prepared to leave, only to be stopped.
"Excuse me sir," it was the priest. He had gripped Gary by the sleeve, a soft smile on his face, "May I speak with you for a minute?"
Gary tried not to let his confident smirk falter, "Of course! What can I do for you?"
The priest chuckled slightly, "Oh no, I meant at the front. I have a couple things I'd like to discuss with you."
"Ah," Gary said. Had he been anywhere else, there was no doubt in his mind he'd be able to strike down the priest with a single glance, but this was a church. He was already weakened here, but this is where the priest would thrive. And yet, he was cocky, "Well, I don't see why not."
"Good," the priest said, "Follow me."
The priest waited for the entire congregation to leave. He stared up at the stained glass window as he waited to be alone with Gary. Gary kept a hand in his pocket, rubbing over his claw-like nails.
"I can explain," Gary said, "It's actually my first time in a catholic church, I didn't know the proper proceedings for the gospel."
"No no, I have to thank you," John said, "When one questions the bible, it means they simply wish to apply it to their life. I'm glad you gave me the opportunity to expand on what I had to say."
"Wait, really?" Gary said.
"Of course," the priest said, his nails digging into his palms, "Although, I would like to make a request." He turned towards Gary.
"Oh?" Gary raised an eyebrow, "What can I do for you?"
"Take off your sunglasses," John said, "I'd like to look you in the eyes when we speak."
"But my eyes-"
"I am not a child," the priest said calmly, "I will not panic at the sight."
"But-"
"Is that a no?" The priest asked. Gary felt that he didn't have a choice.
"Yes, of course," Gary said, reaching for his glasses, slowly taking them off. He and the priest's eyes never stopped looking on to each other.
"Mmm," the priest looked at his eyes, black with glowing red irises, "You're a demon."
"Nonsense!" I'm a normal human being just like you!" Gary argued.
"I'm no fool," the priest said, "I knew you were a demon from the moment I saw your face. Your eyes are a simple confirmation."
"I apologize," Gary said, "I simply needed information about the church."
"I'm afraid that this isn't your territory," the priest said, "Now I have to request you leave before I exorcise you."
Gary chuckled, despite the priest's clear advantage, "I'm afraid I won't be doing that." He used a clawed finger to tuck a piece of the priest's hair behind his ear, "For you see, I have a new interest to pursue, and I have no reason to leave just yet."
"Then allow me to give you one," the priest said. Before Gary could even process what was being said to him, the priest gripped him by the wrists and pushed him backwards, slamming his back against the altar, "Leave this church. If you come back I will give you a fate far worse than an exorcism."
"Heh, I suppose you reciprocate my interests," Gary smirked, only for the priest to increase the pressure he was using to hold him down.
The priest glared at him before speaking again, "You will not come back, but I will keep my eye on you. When I find your lair then we can...discuss things as adults. But for now, I expect you out of my sight, understood?"
Gary's breath hitched slightly. It's been so long since someone's given him a command without solicitation, "Yes sir~"
"Ah-ah," the priest said, "Use my proper title."
Gary rolled his eyes before smirking, aiming to piss the priest off, "Sure thing, daddy."
The priest's eyes remained unamused. He slid his right hand away from Gary's wrist and down to his throat, "I said..." his grip tightened. Not enough to constrict, but enough to cause pressure, "My proper title."
Gary did not want to admit out loud the things that those words did to him, "Of course...Father."
"Good," The priest's voice was quiet, mumbled only so he could hear. God he'd kill to have that done to him with a mattress beneath them, "Now go on, get out and don't show your face. I expect to be meeting with you very shortly."
"Of course Father," Gary said, turning to leave before the priest could get any ideas about exorcising him.
After all this, perhaps information wasn't the only thing he could get out of the church. This would be far less boring as well.

Hey! I and my nephew have been reading your comics for a while now. We are both enjoying your comics so far! Currently, I am a bit concerned about the level of violence in the upcoming pages of Endless Route. So far, she is okay with the violence your stories had. Here's the question. How would you describe the amount of brutality this comic will have in the future, on a scale from 0 to 10, compared to the level of violence in the previous pages of Endless route? Number 0 means that this level stays on the same acceptable for my nephew level of violence, and as the numbers on a scale increase, the brutality of the upcoming pages compared to previous pages will increase. She had read some of the pages of your comics, without me noticing it. (Which is why I am questioning this in the first place). Thank you in advance, Yugo!!!
Oh my gosh, this is what I'm worried about.
Which is why I'm still thinking about how to execute it without being too violent for my younger audience to read.
The upcoming "Brutal" scenes would be 3/10 scale.
Since Endless Route is close to its ending part, you don't have to worry about it being too violent. 👍

dear friends
On Autosexuality...
Autosexuality is a phenomenon we experience in the web system, largely due to being plural and also partially asexual. We have a partner that supports us in this and it makes us really happy!
We are concerned, in part, with the internal mechanics of our own autosexuality. We view it as a complex, multi-dimensional set of objects, made up of sexual connections, some beyond human comprehension.
One example is the relationship between tangent and cotangent. They are reciprocal. They are beautiful. They both identify as mathematical equations. They are both attracted to mathematical equations.
(Fun fact: the way I used to get through math was pretending that I'm one of the numbers playing with the other little numbers.)
Others are even more detached from conventional ideas of sexuality, conceptualizing sex as shapes, colors, lines, and so on.
When we paint, the colors have sex. What would you call that?

(<- grown ass man with roughly the same perspective on teenhood as the player#fucked up that this became so long (almost 30 squares lol) that it took me this long to finish#lmao I say all that but. genuinely I am delirious and my feelings abt riz's arc this season are so big... I was getting psychic backlash#for a While lol. it was scary!!#had to sit down and do therapy on my own ass for a bit. the teenage apocalyticisation is real. that word isnt tho Im pretty sure#truly anything you do at that age feels like that's it that's all you've got going on forever. and its not true! its simply not true#you'll be okay my guy. you love your friends so so much but also there will be more to love out there#this one goes out to fellow aroaces and also folks leaving somewhere theyve called home for a long time#nothing lasts forever but that means new things come by too! ur ability to make new is infinite!!#there's no magnum opus people leave but new people come by too etc. I am too sleepy to remember what I wanted to say uhhh#well. thank u for looking at my art.

What do you mean I’m a bit late for Janus’ big day? Of course not, how could you say such a thing! I definitely didn’t forget all about it in my absence and only get reminded in the incorrect quotes video live chat; that’s not like me at all ;]
Anyways I decided to dress our sassy snake in some different outfits I think he’d like. He seems like the type to get all dolled up on his birthday and it goes with Thomas posting pics in outfits inspired by the sides on their appreciation days!
@thatsthat24

what is wrong with me
question asked by most psychiatrists worldwide
also
this
ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ ❝ [CHOICELESS HOPE] ❞ — two. one more time.
pairing: aaron hotchner x bau!reader. summary: the moment leading up to the kiss, the drumroll, is as good as the kiss itself. it's certainly more innocent. it's completely harmless. content warnings: very canon divergent because criminal minds timelines fuck me up. emotional cheating (not on reader). no happy ending (for now). angst. right person wrong time. no use of y/n. word count: 700+. a/n: me taking my least engaged fic and making a series out of it? more likely than you think. summary based on himym's victoria and her theory.
previously
your palms are undeniably sweaty following the anxious feeling you had in the pit of your stomach. after transferring you made a successful career as a profiler for the crisis negotiation unit, so it wouldn’t be the first time seeing hotchner after all, you saw him at seminars, you read his book, his face and his voice were still a strong presence in your mind.
but being close to him, talking to him, working with him again… that was making your mind swirl. the bau needed a senior profiler, again. you had rejected the transfer at least two times before and the upperups found someone else for the job. not this time, this time you had no choice.
you try to feel comfortable on his office’s couch, looking around to notice the little things before him and the rest of the team arrive, profiling each other wasn’t very well seen in the bau, you remember that much from your years there, but you knew hotch, you were just basking at the familiarity his office brought you.
pictures of him with his son, his late ex wife, awards, piles of cases organized. it all pointed to him being more serious than when you worked together first. it made sense not only considering what he had been through, but his nearly obsessive nature.
throat cleaning is the sound that brings you back, his face lighting up when he notices it’s you, but letting the smile disappear seconds later. “it’s been a while. how can i help you?”
oh. politeness. the tone. not asking how you are. he’s mad. possibly because you never called. never answered his calls. never talked to him when he was around your unit. always sent other agents when the bau needed negotiators. you made impossible efforts to avoid him. and yet here you were, in his office.
“i get that you haven’t looked into your new profiler’s paperwork.” you were always snarky and that made him huff trying to hide a laugh. he didn’t have to look at the paperwork to know you wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t mandatory. “you look good, big office, the suit. it fits you.”
he stays silent, and you wish you could read his mind like you did before, but it was different now, all you could read from him was how… sore he was in your presence. like you were there just to cut open old wounds. you couldn’t blame him, you prided yourself of being his best friend for so long and sure it was a weird gray area you both danced in, but he got divorced, was stabbed countless times, haley was murdered, you never even called. you couldn’t even pretend you didn’t know, you kept in touch with rossi.
he moves to his desk, sitting and looking through your paperwork without much care, enough that he caught you staring at the picture he had of haley, jack and him by the bookshelf behind him. “you didn’t come to the funeral.”
“dave told me to go, but… it felt disrespectful to haley.” hotchner takes a deep breath, it finally hitting him that at least there and then it wasn’t about avoiding him, it was about haley, as it was when you left quantico. he didn’t want to hurt her, you didn’t want to disrespect her, that was always the central point of why you two couldn’t be. that relaxes his demeanor, his features soften. your heart beats faster.
“think you can handle bau rhythm after a decade away?” he smirks, that one you know so well, that one that meant trouble. and he finally looks up from the file, locking eyes with you.
“you should be worried about keeping up with me.” and just like that it feels like you’re ten years younger, flirting with your partner, hoping he will flirt back. and by the look he gives you, it almost seems like he would if his phone didn’t ring, getting his attention away from you in a flash of a second.
got caught up, will be there soon, yeah, love you too.
“sorry, that was my–my girlfriend, beth. i have to get going, see you tomorrow?” you nodded, chewing the inside of your cheek for some relief.
10 years. 10 years of running from it. just to get back exactly where you started: at the bau, heart out for hotchner when he couldn’t take it.
so much for keeping your fbi career and not going against orders.
