#thatll have to do

[zarvasace2]

I didn't get the chance to make any religious art this week (still hoping to sometime) so instead I'd like to share a scripture that I've liked recently. :)

Alma chapter 42, Book of Mormon: a prophet named Alma has a son who is troubled because of the idea that sinners are "miserable" in the eternities. This chapter explains why there is a law, what justice is, what Jesus did for mercy, and how justice and mercy are both fulfilled. It talks about what the fall of Adam and Eve actually did (spoiler it was a good thing, because it gives us room to act on our own).

I keep trying to find an excerpt from the chapter but it's all just so woven together I can't find anything that encapsulates it entirely!

(For another, beautiful explanation of the same topic, see the legendary talk His Grace is Sufficient by Brad Wilcox. I highly recommend watching that entire thing. I also enjoy the talk Redemption by Elder Christofferson. These are YouTube links, but the latter at least has a link to the text version in the description.)

Gourmand why are you like this. How can you make living things out of the blue fruit you ate 3 minutes ago. How do you make a living breathing fucking snail? You can't even eat it, and yet you can spit it out, how the hell does that work? Put that thing back!!! Why is it alive??

And how can you make a goddamn neuron from an overseer and. What was this.... Hold on

AND KARMA FLOWER. And how can you make an overseer from neuron+ANYTHING!!!!! FROM ANYTHING!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!

I had a dream that there was a new Splatoon map. I don't remember the actual name of it because everyone just called it "the maze". Because it was just a maze! With tall, uninkable walls! And an asymmetric layout for some fucking reason, meaning that the paths to the ""center"" (abt the size of the middle circle at Wahoo World, so. very small) were different and you couldn't tell which side you got until you spawned in. Using weapons with zipcaster or inkjet became the instant meta because those were pretty much the only ways to get on top of or over the walls. There was one (1) dead end on the map where you could find a graffiti of a crudely drawn Sheldon pointing at you, with a speech bubble reading "LOST :)". It was awful and I think Nintendo should release it for real just for the chaos of it

Remember that Lethal Company Digital Circus AU I asked about like a few weeks ago or something?

Yeah well I made two designs for it

Say hello to Jax and Pomni! I have a decent amount of ideas for this AU that I will doodle for fun eventually (if I don't lose motivation that is).

I plan on mainly fucking around with this AU and its silly concepts. All you need to know is it has apocalyptic silly vibes of them traveling to different planets and collecting stuff. Basically Lethal Company but with the cast, it will have a silly twist and spin to it tho.

Anyway if you want to see more or have any questions my ask box is open! o7

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.
