In the New Jerusalem we will See God's Face, Enjoy His Shining and Shine Him Forth

In the New Jerusalem, God’s redeemed people will see God’s face continually, His name will be on their foreheads, and the unlimited glory of God will shine forth as light with Christ as the lamp through the New Jerusalem to the whole universe. Hallelujah, our eternal destiny as believers in Christ is to be under God’s shining and even to shine God forth as the New Jerusalem for eternity to all…

The Holy City, New Jerusalem

by Christina Georgina Rossetti

Jerusalem is built of gold,

Of crystal, pearl, and gem:

Oh fair thy lustres manifold,

Thou fair Jerusalem!

Thy citizens who walk in white

Have nought to do with day or night,

And drink the river of delight.

Jerusalem makes melody

For simple joy of heart;

An organ of full compass she,

One-tuned thro' every part:

While not to day or night belong

Her matins and her evensong,

The one thanksgiving of her throng.

Jerusalem a garden is,

A garden of delight;

Leaf, flower, and fruit make fair her trees,

Which see not day or night:

Beside her River clear and calm

The Tree of Life grows with the Palm,

For triumph and for food and balm.

Jerusalem, where song nor gem

Nor fruit nor waters cease,

God bring us to Jerusalem,

God bring us home in peace;

The strong who stand, the weak who fall,

The first and last, the great and small,

Home one by one, home one and all.

[benevolenterrancy]

May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

“I think where Mike’s so great is just, even when he’s not delivering dialogue, he’s just giving such a strong performance with his looks. You can always feel him thinking when you look at him—you can see him thinking. Which is sort of the mark of really good film acting, at least.”

how do you clone a fey? that's trick question; and fey love those!

@the-navistar-carol (<333) brought up a good point while I was talking about my changeling danny au with her -- Dani! How would she exist in this au? Danny's a changeling - a fae. How would Dani, a clone of him, be created? How do you make a fey? Not through any means that Vlad is doing; you can't make a fey through unnatural means, considering the Fair Folk are nature. And Vlad's not a fey himself -- he's a halfa, even if he could make a fey, it's not in his best interest too. He's a powerful ghost, but even the weakest fae can overpower the strongest ghost. He won't want a clone of Daniel to be more powerful than him.

(In a three tier hierarchy it goes Ancients -> Fae/Mythos -> Ghosts. They all live in the Infinite Realms, but on different Planes. The fae live above the Ghost Zone in the Fey Wild, while the Mythos live beside the Wilds or down in the ghost zone depending on where they are. Places like the Frozone, the Athens Acropolis, and other such large islands climb throughout all three Planes.)

(While Ghosts can travel into the Fey Wild, its generally advised against as the ectoplasm tends to manifest differently there due to close contact magic. It can make it rather disorientating for a ghost, and as human spirits, the Fae living there would jump them faster than they could blink. So unless you're willing to play mind games with 'steal thy name eat thy face' fae, most ghosts keep out of the way of the Wilds. Fey can travel down into the Ghost Zone, they just don't bother.)

That's of course, not taking into account if Vlad even knows Danny's a fae himself. Vlad doesn't ring me as someone who really cares much about ghost culture or the going ons of the GZ. He might be aware that fae exist, but the moment he realizes he can't use them for personal gain he just doesn't bother with them. The risk is greater than the reward, and he'd rather not get eaten. But lets assume he's aware by now that Danny is fey, and has to take that into account while cloning him.

So, how does Dani exist? Good question! Honestly; i'm not sure. She might not exist at all, or if she does, she's more halfa than fey. Vlad would need a lot of human dna and ectoplasm to balance out all that fae magic. He manages to steal DNA from Jack and Maddie to do it, and since Jack's fey ancestry is very dormant its much easier to use alongside Danny's DNA.

In turn, it results in a little girl whose more human-ghost hybrid than clone. With that little extra boost in fey magic making her not a fey, but still relatively powerful. Dani is less of a clone and more of a lab-grown little sister. It's a rather tedious, complex process that has Vlad tearing his hair out trying to figure out. But he does eventually figure it out.

Q: I recently adopted a paladin from a shelter. he didn't have a breed label but they said they thought he was Helmite? He seemed pretty happy with guarding the stuff I put in his enclosure for a few days, but recently he's been escaping to herd the neighbor's children around when they get in the street. He also doesn't seem as alert as Helmites are supposed to be? I don't know if he doesn't like something about his enclosure or if the shelter misidentified him. Picture included. A: This actually looks like a paladin of Torm! People unfamiliar with paladin care frequently confuse them because of their similar markings. Like Helmites, Tormtar are a guardian breed, but they tend to be less high-strung and don't form the same attachments to their territory and toys. If your paladin is leaving his enclosure, he's probably bored and looking for more appropriate stimuli. Try taking him on a heroic quest, or giving him more active tasks around the house. Tormtar are also more social, so if you have the resources I would consider adopting another Triadic paladin. (Be careful not to keep him with an actual paladin of Helm. Despite their visual similarities, they have a tendency to fight, and since you picked this guy up from a shelter you don't know whether he's been socialized to get along with Neutral paladins.)
