@thewholecrew: kassy & octavia. | all american universe

octavia can't help the grin that widens on her features, her gaze sparkling as she glances up at her best friend. so maybe they get up to more trouble than her brother would ever like to hear about, but for the most part, in the end, all their stories were about how much they looked after one another. how much the two girls cared for each other. her brother would see that. if he didn't, octavia would make him. "trust me, he'll be overwhelmed after the first 7%, he won't even make it to the rest, 'side he knows some already." she beamed, unable to hide her adoration for the love her best friend has brought into her life. despite the fights octavia and her brother tend to have at most of their monthly visits, if bell can't see the light that overtakes her when she talks about kassy or their friends, he hasn't been paying much attention.

"we can, and we should; perhaps we've been a little too tame lately." she wiggled her brows in unison with her best friend's shimmy of her shoulders, filling her apartment with a bit of laughter. ever since february, they've been shut in more often than not, but it feels freeing to think about causing true havoc with her bestie at her side once more. they're seniors. it's what they should be doing! it's practically their right.

focusing on the gentle sooth of kassy's thumb against her knuckles kept octavia in the present moment instead of retreating to how she felt back then. the most alone she'd been in her whole life. her hand rose, finger brushing against her nose as she nodded, "yeah, he was sent to military school till he turned of age after what happened, so," she forced a breath out, her smile slipping a little. "just hung around until he could come back for me." she shrugged, lifting her gaze back to kassy. sort of like now. still waiting for him to come back for her. "they were okay, busy household with a lot of chores, activities, expectations," unintentionally, her hand flexed against kassy's, her body more in tune with how she felt than her lightheartedness let on. "comin' from a family like mine, it was a fucking shock to the system, kids had bedtime routines and after school activities, the whole nines, they all sat around a dinner table at night too." her nose crinkled, loving the idea and still finding the whole nuclear family appearance odd.

her smile brightened once more as kassy shook her, pressing a soft kiss against her cheek as she nuzzled in. even when recalling a time in her life when she thought she might die, being in kassy's comfort never makes it feel so bad. so when she offers for them to simply continue to chill now that their movie has ended, octavia shook her head, tapping her hand playfully against her bestie's side. "nah girl i'm good, go get it," she said, pushing on her bestie as octavia went to settle across the whole of the couch once kassy was up to retrieve her sketchbook. "how do you even wanna do this? you what, ask me questions about them, what they look like and just try to draw from there?" she asked curiously, eyes lifting to the ceiling as she patiently waited.

@headstrongblake: kassy & octavia. / verse: all american.

kassy couldn't help but laugh as octavia suggested they keep to the tamer stories when it came time to meet him, "fine, i can do that, don't want him to think anything but us lookin' after each other," she grinned with a wink back in return, arm gently tightening around octavia in a brief squeeze. "though that does cut down on like 89% of the stories to tell," she added with a smirk and a wiggle of her brows. if kassy was honest, she almost felt a little nervous to meet him, she knew just how much he meant to octavia and well, kassy just hoped he didn't just see her as a bad influence.

shaking her head, kassy snickered, already imagining the two bickering back and forth, nick asking for kassy's help only to huff and puff and roll his eyes when she inevitably takes her besties side, especially in this scenario because she was right. "we can always get worse, he should know that by now," she teased with a playful shimmy of her shoulders before her arms went back around her girl. her expression softened as octavia leaned into her, as she spoke about her time and how she'd bounced around between homes until she was settled with the sterlings. she held octavia's hand, looking down at her best friend, meeting her gaze as she gave her hand a gentle squeeze.

she wasn't sure how to feel with the information octavia was offering her but she felt an uneasy feeling in the pit of her stomach and when octavia averted her gaze, she held her hand a little tighter, thumb brushing along her knuckles as she snuggled down a little closer to o. "and while that was happening... you were just waiting for your brother, right...?" she asked gently. "i'm sorry, o, that must have been really hard.." she sympathized softly. "how were they? the sterlings, aside from their dad." who she was glad to hear seemed warm and welcoming but she held on to the fact he travelled often meaning she must have been alone with the others more.

kassy waited, watching with a curious expression as octavia pondered the offer, a lazy smile blooming across her face at octavia's question and she hugged her tighter, giving her a playful shake, "duhhhh, anything for you babe, you know that," she reminded her with a chaste kiss to the cheek. she then nuzzled hers against octavias, hugging her almost in a protective manner, "then you got yourself a deal. i have my sketchbook beside my bed if you want to try it now..." she paused a moment in thought, "or we could just chill too, i.. can imagine all this being a lot to talk about, especially when it's not all good memories..."

Her Love in the Force: The unbearable lightness of love (All characters) (Shorts)

Author's note: I enjoyed writing it so much that I couldn't stop myself from posting it, even if I officially return only in the middle of February. Hope this little piece of love will make you a little bit happier. Take care of you and the precious people around you. Sending love to you all. ❤️

MC moved for the nth time from one side to another. For a second, she stopped breathing to hear the breaths of the person near her. A grin of relief appeared on her face when the man near her exhaled. Suddenly, she felt her cheeks getting hotter, and a big smile appeared on her face. MC knew what position would help her fall asleep. Though, before getting close to the person near her, she felt the urge to find the answers to the question that popped in her mind a moment ago.

Jin Namba

Before MC could say anything, she felt how she was dragged closer to her sleeping husband. When she turned to look at him, she could see how his eyes were still shut. She muffled a soft chuckle and started to call him by his name. When she got no answer, MC whispered against his chest.

"Sometimes, I have no idea what to do with all my love for you. It is so much and strong that I know that I won't ever know how to show it to you. You lived for longer than me, and I sometimes wonder if you found the answer to this problem, if you know how to let me know what is buried deep inside you. Wait for me till I find the answer, and believe me that I have no idea how to make you understand what a pleasurable pain my love for you causes to my fragile heart."

MC nuzzled against him and hugged him tighter. Suddenly, her hug was returned with more strength.

"I also don't know how to show you till what extent I adore you. So please, be patient with me," Jin whispered in her hair.

Hideki Ishigami

"What are you thinking about?" Hideki asked before MC could start talking. Unknown to him, he scared away the romantic question she was about to ask. MC's cheeks colored in red, and she giggled uncontrollably. In a second, she rolled on top of him.

"Did I wake you up?" she asked with her ear against his chest.

"No. I can't sleep if you're not against me," Hideki whispered while resting his hand on her waist.

That was the moment when the love MC held for him won, and the words she wanted to say reappeared on her lips.

"Do you ever think that you love someone so much that you have to show it to them, and this feeling stops you from doing anything else, but you also know that the feelings you have for that person are so strong that you won't ever be able to show them entirely, but can't hide them either? So you live with a pleasurable pain in your chest and an unlimited stock of warmness for them?"

For a moment, Ishigami fell silent. Though, the next moment, MC's entire body was shaken by the hearty laugh that escaped the man's lips.

"Of course, I know. I still have no idea how I survived the day we married. I was so happy and in love that it hurt."

MC smiled against his neck. She felt his husband's lips pressed against the top of her head. For the rest of the night, they both had peaceful expressions on their faces.

Hyogo Kaga

He wasn't asleep. When MC stopped breathing, he heard it. He also heard how her breaths changed the moment she smiled. Though, it made him only frown. He wanted to feel her against his chest. What made her move so much that night?

"Hyogo," he heard a whisper. After he didn't answer, she tried again, but louder. In response, he only groaned. "Do you ever feel like you love someone so much that you can't contain your love and have no idea how to show it, so you just want to hug them as hard as possible and nuzzle your nose in them, to feel them all over you and wait till the pleasurable pain in your chest goes away?"

Before she finished her speech, Kaga was already wide awake. He was jealous. He felt so envious that MC could express what he felt every single day for her, while he couldn't even say "I love you" without cringing. But that was the high time to remind her how important she was for him.

"Yes. Every second of every hour of every day. When you are far away or in the closest proximity."

He fell silent. It was the closest he could get to be honest about his feelings. Again, he could hear the smile in MC's breaths. But this time, Kaga smiled too.

A heavy arm fell on MC's chest. This time Kaga wouldn't let her change her position, not after she woke up the unbearable love he held for her. In a second, her entire body was pressed against his chest. A long kiss that lasted for the entire night fell on her shoulder.

Shusuke Soma

"What is it, my love?" Soma asked when he heard MC's loud breath.

"You know more about love than me. Can I ask you a question?"

Shusuke chuckled. He didn't know more about love than MC. She was the love of his life, and it was for the first time he felt like this. Nonetheless, he wanted to know what was in her mind at that hour. So, he hummed as an answer, waiting for her to start talking.

"How can you express that feeling of love when you are ready to die here and there for the person in front of you? Though, it's not because you will sacrifice your life for them. It's because you want to live for them. You know that all the time in the world combined with all the declarations of love won't be enough to express your feelings. So, you suffer beautifully, trying to show at least the millionth part of your love. Do you know?"

Shusuke took MC's face in his hands and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"I have no idea how to show you that you're the most important person in my life," he placed a kiss on her eyelids. "I have no idea how to make you understand that I want to feel every single part of your existence, to be able to understand you better," he kissed her cheeks. "I want to find a way to show every millimeter of you that you are more precious than the entire world," Shusuke captured her lips. After he parted and let her breathe, he finally said the only words that could show her the smallest part of his feeling for her. "I love you."

He was ready to say these words to every single part of her body, again and again, till even her toe could repeat them. But he knew that it wouldn't be possible because the universe's life would be too short to let her know how strong his love for her was.

Takaomi Tsugaru

"Are you thinking about how much do you love me?" Tsugaru asked, grinning.

MC rolled her eyes. He wasn't wrong, but she knew that he was messing with her. Why not tease him too? And she knew how to do it.

"Yes. I sometimes stop functioning because I love you so much that it shows in every single thing I do. You are so important to me that I can't live if I don't remember that I love you more than I will ever be able to show or tell. It keeps me away from doing what I have to do, and all I can hope is that you understand this, in both professional and personal fields."

Tsugaru felt the urge to run away, but the love MC was talking about held him in place. The only thing he could do was to sit on the edge of the bed and take his face in his hands. MC giggle after seeing her boyfriend in such a state. That sound made his heart beat even faster. Little Hare pressed herself against his back, nuzzling her nose.

"You have no idea what you are doing with my poor heart," Tsugaru finally whispered.

"The same thing you're doing with mine."

"No. I love you more."

MC didn't contradict him. She fought so much to achieve this happiness that she didn't want to push it away. So, she hugged him even tighter. Tsugaru's jaw clenched. Closing his eyes, he escaped her hug for a second only to fall on her the next moment. He had no idea what he was doing, but the unconscious 'I love you's whispered against her skin showed a part of his feeling for her.

Seiji Goto

"You're so perfect that I have no idea how to make you understand it. Every time I look at you, my heart grows tenfold. Sometimes I think that I'll explode and won't be able to return to you the feeling you buried inside of me. You make me so happy that I become sad that I can't show it all to you. I don't know a way to make you understand how important you are for me."

MC knew that Seiji was a heavy sleeper. That was the main reason why she said all of this. At the same time, she had no idea what her voice could do to him. It was the same effect his look had on her. Her tomorrow-to-be husband was wide awake before her lips parted. She talked so fast and emotionally that he couldn't stop her.

"I intended not to cry tomorrow. Why are you making me cry today? When you walk down the aisle to me, I'll remember what you said today, and I'll be a mess. Subaru won't ever let it go," he mumbled, trying hard to hide his sniffles.

"I love you, Seiji. I love you very, very, very much," MC repeated again and again.

At first, Seiji wanted to stop her. Though with every declaration of love she made to him, his lips were closer to repeating her words. He knew that he had to look fantastic for his soon-to-be wonderful wife. Though, he also knew that all the words in the world wouldn't ever be enough to express his love for her.

Ayumu Shinonome

The dream that made his heart beat faster and reddened his cheeks ended when he heard his name yelled in a whisper. Ayumu sighed, understanding that the person he married in his dream was the same one who woke him up. Of course, he was happy to see his long-term girlfriend well enough to have the energy to talk in the middle of the night. However, it made him remember that he had to show his feelings to marry her, and it wasn't an easily ignored step.

"Do you ever feel that you love someone till it pains your chest? A very painful pain that keeps you motionless. And the only way to get rid of it is to hug the person for whom these feelings are? It's not a bad pain. It makes you happy. But also sad, because you understand that you are too weak to be able to hold and express it, so you hope that the person near you understands it?"

MC had no idea if her boyfriend heard her or was asleep. She just wanted to let him know that it was what she felt for him. She knew that Ayumu loved to hear her expressing her feeling, even if he didn't show it.

"No. I have no idea what you are talking about," Ayumu answered, letting his arm fall on MC. The second one came from underneath her. The next moment, MC was pressed against him in the tightest hug he had ever given her.

'Of course, I know how it feels. Otherwise, why did I buy that damn ring two months ago?' Ayumu said to himself while drowning in her smell. He promised to himself that he would gather his courage sooner. The feelings for her were deeper than the fear and the cringe.

Toru Kurosawa

MC looked at her boyfriend, sleeping soundly. A soft smile appeared on her lips. Toru looked more peaceful than ever. Though, her heart wasn't as calm as him. It beat harder and harder, giving MC no choice but to vocalize her feelings.

"I love you more than I can express. With every smile and laugh you let out, my feelings for you only deepen. I fell so hard that I lost all the fear of being hurt. I don't care what happens to me. All I want is to see that you're happier than ever. I want to be a part of your happiness because you are my happiness. You make me so happy that it hurts. My heart can't take so many feelings. I am afraid it will explode one day. And even if I tell you how much I love you, I know that it's not enough."

Before she could continue her speech, Toru placed his palm against her lips. The next moment, his lips touched his fingers. His other hand caressed her so softly that it made MC shiver.

"I know that I have no right to make you feel like this. I know that I don't deserve the smallest part of your feelings. That is why I don't want to kiss you right now. The lips that let out such words are too pure and precious for me. I don't want you to explode because of your love for me. But let me do it for you. Let me suffer more with every second that pasts because of the love that grows faster than the light."

His lips were trembling. His voice showed how overwhelmed he was. Even his eyes teared.

"Please, let yourself be loved just like you deserved," MC whispered and placed a soft kiss on his lips.

Toru's hands tighten around her. He didn't want to let her go. He was afraid to let her go, even if he didn't think he deserved her. He wanted to merit her. So, he made a silent promise to become the best partner possible. To make her as happy as she deserved to be.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. CI

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Wrong Words

(13x14)

Hi there! I will talk in this meta about miscommunication, but mostly, about how Dean can't use the right words with CAS, which had been always our struggle as fans hahaahhaa.

Let's start this!

Fire and Fear

At the beginning of episode 13x14 'Good Intentions' we have Jack being manipulated by Zachary . The angel uses the fear to try to get some info from Jack's head.

Fear is the same tool Michael will use to try to break Dean, but it won't work just like I'd doesn't work with Jack.

Another interesting dialogue piece that shows us what Chuck appearance will mean in season 14 and 15 is the following...

CASTIEL: I wanted you to see the natural world before… before it was spoiled. Humans have good intentions, but… they never truly appreciated the gift they were given. Left to their own devices, humans… they would destroy everything.

This is fake Castiel in Jack's head and it's the way writers link AU!Michael with Chuck. It's the same thing like say HUMANS DON'T PLAY THEIR ROLES AS THEY SHOULD. DOESN'T FOLLOW THE PLAN. It will be the final plot of season 15. It speaks about how Michael and Chuck see the free will as something dangerous and destructive for their plans.

Two Hearts and the Wrong Words

The hearts of Gog and Magog was the fake ingredient Donnie asked for the spell.

DEAN: Okay, so we’re supposed to find these guys and cut out their hearts? How?

The symbolism of cutting hearts are linked to the incoming Destiel break up that will start in season 14 and then will find its climax in season 15.

When Donatello mentions that it will be dangerous... This is what happens...

CASTIEL: Then I’ll do it.

DEAN: I’ll go with you.

Dean won't let nothing bad happen to his angel. That's a fact that repeats all along in this season. Dean trying to protect Cas from danger. Dean going with him everywhere. Dean trying to get a bullet for his angel, as we will hear from him in Scoobynatural.

Then... The wrong words...

Pay attention to this dialogue here...

DEAN: How are you holdin’ up, Cas?

CASTIEL: I’m fine.

DEAN: No, I just mean with, you know, everything you’ve been through. And… I know you really wanna find Lucifer.

Dean is trying to find out how Cas feels, this is a very nice gesture from him, but also, he is worried about how CAS could feel after being kidnapped, he just wants to talk about that, because it's a heavy weight he carries, the guilt of not seeing Asmodeus was playing him. So he feels he failed him. Plus the fact that Cas had been dead, knowing that had been a blast in Dean's life... But at the same time, Dean tries to avoid that topic which is, the elephant in the room. But CAS will direct his answer to that elephant...

CASTIEL: No, it’s not that. It’s about… well, it is that, but it’s also I… Dean I was—I was dead.

DEAN: Temporarily.

Here is again Dean trying to avoid the topic as if it never happened or if as it was nothing. Is his way to avoid it, to keep going. Because the memory of it is too painful. And because it's still a knife in his heart. It's part of his most horrible fears. To lose Castiel again, unbearable. So, it's better not give it too much attention. 'Temporally' as 'It was nothing, it was just for a few days, we are fine, don't talk about it.'

But Castiel insists...

CASTIEL: And I have to believe I was brought back for a reason.

Gif set credit @subbydean

Cas feels that he came back and nothing had changed. Because they didn't speak about it. Because he doesn't know if Dean missed him. He knows Sam and Dean need him for battle. But, he has to find something else in this. There's something else. And he feels maybe is Dean the one who has to say it. Something. Something that gives him a more deep meaning. But Dean can't speak about it. Dean can't recall the pain. Dean can't express what is in his heart... So he shifts the backpack, avoids eye contact and lies, he just go with his usual avoiding self, and gives the "FAMILY NEEDED YOU" NEED vs WANT again. WE instead of I/Me.

DEAN: You were. Okay, Jack brought you back because we needed you back.

CASTIEL: Right. And how have I repaid him? I promised his mother that I would protect him, but now he’s trapped in that place while Lucifer is here, who’s… I mean, he’s getting stronger and more powerful by the day. And if Michael really is coming, maybe I was brought back to help prepare.

Castiel doesn't find a propose in Dean's words, doesn't find what he's looking for from him. The 'Right' is dated with disappoinment in his eyes, with sadness, looking at the man he loves. The unrequited love strikes again. So he changes to Jack, if Jack needs him, he will be there. Soldier Mode and the mission and the promise to Kelly come to his rescue. Castiel changes to soldier mode again.

DEAN: Prepare for what?

CASTIEL: War. War is what Michael does.

If there's nothing else there for him, then there's his mission. The war. That will be his porpoise. And Dean's words will be what Cas will have in his mind the rest of the season.

DEAN: Well, then we do what we do. Whatever it takes.

After this, we have their fight with Gog and Magog, but first, let's see this dialogue over here, it seems something fun and married couple thing, but it has a very deep meaning, according to what we were talking about so far.

DEAN: Well, Enochian’s kinda tough. Maybe you got a word wrong.

CASTIEL: I don’t get “words wrong.”’

Castiel says this with annoyance. Why? Because he tries to transmit a second message behind his words. How could Cas use his first language wrong? It's impossible. But is not impossible to Dean to use his wrong words even using his first language. Cas knows Dean didn't say what Castiel needed to hear from him. I don't get my words wrong, but you do. I always say what is in my heart, you don't.

We had some fan service when Gog and Magog called Dean and Cas beautiful.

'They are equally pretty.'

Is something all the fandom knows hahahhahaa.

Another foreshadow and Castiel soldier mode

When Michael decides to bring Jack with Mary, Mary recognizes why he did it.

MARY: He’s not gonna hurt you, Jack. He’s gonna hurt me. Why do you think he brought you here? So that we would meet, so that we would talk. And then when he comes back, if you don’t do what he wants, he’s going to kill me.

This is what Michael will try with Dean too. Once Michael will left Dean's body in 14x02, as an attempt to make him believe he was free, with his family. Giving him fake hopes, that's the way Michael will try to really break him. That's why he did this with Jack.

Do you remember when Dean used his wrong words with Castiel and he switched into soldier mode??

SAM: What are you doing?

[CASTIEL walks down the hallway towards where DONATELLO is. SAM and DEAN follow him.]

CASTIEL: What I have to.

He will fried Donnie's brains to get some info, after the boys tell him Donatello doesn't have a soul and after Donnie used a spell that almost drowned Dean. (Dean drowning was another foreshadow for his possesion, is how he described to Sam how felt to be possesed the first time.)

CASTIEL: I’m sorry, but I’m not going to let you or anyone hurt the people I love. Not again.

Castiel's reaction was drastic after Donnie attacked Dean. He didn't do this after knowing Donni had attacked Sam, even if Sam is parto of THE PEOPLE CAS LOVE. But his violent reaction is linked directly to Dean almost drowing.

DEAN: Yeah, but who gets to make that choice? You? What exactly gives you the right?

CASTIEL: Nothing. I took it. And if I hadn’t acted, we would still be sitting around and talking about what to do next. We would be wasting time. And it’s time we don’t have, Dean. I told you, war is coming. War. And I did what soldiers do. Now we needed the spell to open the rift, and I got it.

The words whatever it takes is resonating in Cas' head. He is focused again, as a soldier should be, focused in war, in the mission. Dean allowed that.

To Conclude:

This episode showed us a couple of more foreshadows for Michael!Dean but it also talked about the 'wrong words' and 'misscommunication'.

How the wrong words made Cas to turn into his soldier mode, and that's the mode will last until the end of the season.

Hope you like this meta! See you in the next one!

raid and velvet: a love story (peter parker x reader)

ahh my first peter parker!! i hope this is what you are looking for!! i’m sorry it’s messy and not that good.

word count: 1.7k

day 1

Bucky stepped out of the medical room, the sound of screaming was heard until he closed the door behind him. Steve looked up at him, a glitter of hope flashing through his eyes.

“Hydra has most likely had them for a while, but I think I can break through to ‘em,” Bucky nodded his head, his metal hand running through his long hair.

“How old are they?”

“15, 16 at most,” Peter looked up at that, the idea of someone that was his age excited him.

“Think big boy could help?” Sam asked for his spot beside Steve.

“Might not hurt,” Bucky shrugged as he looked back at the body struggling in restraints.

“I felt bad for shooting at her, but she was coming at me man,” Tony stood on the farthest wall, watching the screaming kid in his medical room. His heart was breaking, imagining if this was his kid.

“Just give it time Stark, they got a chance to get better now.”

day 28

The screaming had died down incredibly, the medical room looked much calmer now then it did a few days ago.

“All you have to do is talk to them, keep the questions basic.”

Peter nodded at Nat’s word, watching the body that laid on the bed, hands and felt tied down.

Peter pushed to the door, looking over the room quickly before looking at the ex-Hydra soldier.

“Oh so they sent in the flower child to take care of me now,” the sarcastic comment was followed by an eye roll.

“I’m Peter.” Peter took the seat in the corner of the room, still scared they could somehow kill him.

“Cute.”

Peter watched as they pulled at the chains at their wrist, a loud groan filled the room.

“What’s your name?”

“(Y/N).”

Peter looked down at his lap, thinking over every question he’d heard other kids ask in the hallways at MidTown.

“Do you like cake?”

Peter cringed as soon as the words fell past his lips, embarrassed he even thought for a second that was a good question.

“Oh of course, I also love glitter and unicorns,” (Y/N) looked over at Peter with a fake bright smile.

Peter knew it was fake, but it made her look younger for some reason.

“I think you’d like a red velvet cake, you seem like a red velvet type person,” Peter played with his finger, listening to Steve and Nat talk right outside the door of the medical room.

“Never had it.”

Peter looked up, an offended look on his face as he looked them over again.

“You’ve never had red velvet cake?”

A loud sigh full form (Y/N) lips, a wicked chuckle followed closely after.

“Well Hydra didn’t exactly do birthday parties,” (Y/N) pulled at the chains again before letting their head fall back against the bed.

“Can you leave, I wanna get some sleep.”

Peter quickly stood up, he felt bad for even trying to make the room lighter.

“Talk to you later (Y/N),” Peter didn’t want for her response before he ran out the door to join Steve and Nat.

“Mr. America, I don’t think she likes me very much,” Peter said, looking wide-eyed between the two.

“You’re the only person she’s brought up Hydra too,” Nat said gently, looking behind Peter into the medical.

A small feeling of pride filled Peter up, maybe this would be fun.

day 52

Peter smiled as he knocked on the door of the medical room, watching as (Y/N) looked up and nodded their head.

Peter walked in, a small box held tightly in his left hand.

“Morning (Y/N),” Peter skipped over to the seat in the middle of the room, slightly closer than the one he sat in on the first meeting.

“Morning Raid.”

Peter rolled his nickname, cursing the day Sam and Bucky decided to come in together.

“You don’t have to call me that,” Peter chuckled as they crossed their arms over their chest.

“Bucky told me too, I trust Bucky.”

Peter wouldn’t ever say it, I mean he understood the situation, but he wished (Y/N) trust him like they trust Bucky.

“I have something for you,” Peter smiled as he opened the box and titled it to (Y/N).

The red velvet cupcake sat in the center of the box, a bunch of white frosting and a Spiderman ring sat on top.

“How do I know it’s safe to eat?”

(Y/N) pulled their leg closer to their chest, a black look across their face.

Peter flashed the top of the box, Bucky chicken scratch of a signature writing on the top of the box.

“Bucky signed it so you would know.”

Peter moved the chair slightly closer, moving the box closer so (Y/N) could look at it better.

“You said something about not having red velvet before and I was going to just wait for your birthday but we don’t know when your birthday is,” Peter rambled as he watched (Y/N) gently pull the cupcake from the box.

(Y/N) smelt the frost before taking a small lick, a little white frosting collecting on the tip of their nose.

Without taking their eyes off the cupcake, they began speaking.

“October 17th,” they took a large lick of the frosting and looked up at Peter.

“What?”

“My birthday is October 17th, I think. I don’t know, it’s the one Hydra gave me.”

Peter watched as they finally took a bite of the cupcake, a hint of a smile forming behind the frosting.

“How about we make today your birthday?”

Peter walked as (Y/N) looked up at him, a small nod as they turned back to look at the cupcake.

“Okay, on February 1st every year we will celebrate your birthday.”

(Y/N) only pulled the Spider-Man ring off the cupcake, turning it to face Peter.

“Really?”

“What, I couldn't help.”

Peter smiled as (Y/N) placed the ring on the bedside table, going back to eating their cupcake.

“Can I get so much alone time?”

Peter smiled gently at them as he stood up from his seat.

“Yeah, when can I see you again?”

(Y/N) only shrugged their shoulders and continued eating their red velvet cupcake.

day 164

“Hi Raid,” (Y/N) waved at him as he walked into the room, Bucky and Sam sitting in their seats.

“Bug boy, what are you doing here?” Sam smiled as Peter took the seat closest to (Y/N), only she would let Peter, Bucky, and Nat sit there.

“Velvet told me to stop back at lunch,” Peter held up a bag, two sandwiches could be seen in the bag.

“Velvet?”

Bucky smiled as (Y/N) pulled at the threads on the sheets, pleased they were getting somewhere. must be faster than they expected.

“It’s a nickname.”

Peter watched Bucky and Sam smile at each other, a smirk playing at both their lips.

“Well (Y/N), Stark and Nat will be here later to help you move,” Same stood as patted the end of the bed.

They both left the room, looking back behind them until they turned the corner.

“Move? Are you leaving?”

Peter felt his heartbreak slightly, not wanting the only person he wanted to see at the compound most days to leave.

“I’m leaving the medical wing,” (Y/N) reached for the bag, pulling out a sandwich and unwrapping it.

“Where are you going?”

“I’m getting a real room.”

Peter watched the small smile play at (Y/N), but quickly covered it with the sandwich.

“Oh that amazing (Y/N), you are doing better than we all thought,” Peter pulled his own sandwich out of the bag, happy that (Y/N and him could actually walk around the compound together.

“Eh.”

Peter brow drew together, confused why the first thing (Y/N) thought to say was “eh”.

“Eh?”

A quick shrug and another bite of the sandwich, looking everywhere but Peter.

“I still don’t feel right.”

Peter looked up, waiting for them to continue with the statement.

“I don't know, I just feel like what everyone tells me I am,” (Y/N) pulled out a bit of lettuce, throwing in at Peter.

Peter dodged the lettuce, not even giving it much thought.

“Who do you want to be?”

(Y/N) looked up at Peter, a confused look in their eyes.

“I don't know, I guess that's the problem.”

day 284

“Peter, get out of my room!”

(Y/N) at the top of their lungs, a slight panic filled Peter that they’d break like yesterday.

“I’m not leaving.”

(Y/N) picked up a pillow and threw it as full force to Peter, which Peter early caught and placed on the ground.

“I could snap again, you saw me yesterday in the kitchen.”

Peter rolled his eyes, trying to slowly walk closer while (Y/N) screamed at him.

“It’s not a big deal.”

Peter gently held out both hands, (Y/N) grabbed a sleeve and rolled it up. The sight of Peter banging his forearm looked nasty to anyone who wasn’t in the compound.

“I attacked you with one of Pepper’s cooking knives!”

The way (Y/N) voice crack had Peter look away, upset that they were upset.

“I shouldn't have been trying to help Flash with his Russian in front of you,” Peter pulled the sleeve of his shirt down, trying to forget the thing even happened.

“Peter, you were helping a friend over the phone. I’m the crazy one here.”

(Y/N) pushed Peter's chest, pushing him till his back hit the wall.

“(Y/N), friends won't leave you so I’m not leaving.”

“I don't wanna be your friend!”

Peter felt the rain that was falling outside had suddenly gotten loud and the air around him suddenly had gotten harder to breathe.

“What do you want then?”

Peter now could feel his own voice crack, the idea of you loving him back seemed crazy but apparently you didn’t even want to be around him.

“I-i wanna kiss your neck.”

Peter watched at (Y/N) pushed farther away, a single tear slipping down her face.

Peter jumped off the door, gripping (Y/N) wrist. He dragged himself closer until his lips crashed into theirs. (Y/N) hand slowly crept up Peter’s arm, soon was playing with the hair at the nap of his neck.

He felt her teeth run over his bottom lip and his brain felt like it was going to explode.

(Y/N) started pulling away, having to push Peter back slightly just so they could get some air.

“I’m sorry, Raid.”

“Don’t be, Velvet.”

The Chocolatier’s Rose {Willy Wonka x OC} Ch. 5

GIF not mine. Credit goes to owner.

Summary: The last golden ticket has apparently been found, breaking Rose’s heart for Charlie. Harry sees her at work, and makes her an offer. Then, Rose takes Charlie to the shop to get him another Wonka bar, where something rather lucky happens.

Tagging: @holdmeicant @willymywonkers

Rose was dressed in her uniform, ready for her last day of work. But Charlie didn't know that. He knew something was wrong, judging by the sad grin on her face, but he didn't want to push her into telling him anything she didn't want to. The two of them stood in front of the cafe, but before Charlie could part for school, Rose stopped him.

"I have something for you, Charlie" Rose smiled at him. "Well, it's from Mrs Mason" She pulled out the Wonka bar. Charlie's eyes lit up as he took it. He opened it up, but like last time, this bar had no golden ticket. Rose's smile dropped. "Oh, I'm sorry, Charlie"

"It's alright, Rosie" Charlie assured her. "I have the chocolate at least" He split the bar into two, and gave one half to his sister.

"Thank you, Charlie" Rose said as she took the chocolate. "And I think I have a little extra saved up. We'll walk over to the candy shop after school and have one more go at it?"

Charlie nodded. "I'd like that, Rosie" The two siblings hugged each other, before Charlie made his way off to school.

Rose entered the shop, immediately being greeted by Mrs Mason. "Hello, dear. Any luck finding a ticket?"

"Not yet" Rose answered. She went behind the counter as she ate the piece of chocolate Charlie offered her. She even broke off a piece, and gave it to Mrs Mason. "But, I have enough to buy Charlie a bar after school. Maybe his luck still has yet to come"

"You blow on that money before you spend it" Mrs Mason told Rose. "That's what they do in Vegas to the dice, you know. Supposed to give them luck"

******

Rose had nothing to do so she sat a one of the tables reading a newspaper. She came across a page in the paper.

Wonka's Final Golden Ticket. Found in Russia.

Rose could feel her heart break into a million little pieces. What was she going to tell Charlie? She promised that she would find him a golden ticket. And now that promise was broken. And to make things worse, Harry had come into the store, looking more smug than usual.

"Well, well" He started, joining Rose at the table. "Looks like the last ticket was found. And it wasn't found by Charlie"

"You don't need to wave that in my face!" Rose said, getting up from the table. Harry grabbed her wrist again, preventing her from walking away.

"Rose, please just sit and let me talk" Harry started. Rose wasn't in the mood to fight with him, so she sat down in her seat again, crossing her arms over her chest.

"What?"

"It's clear things aren't getting any better. Today is your last day here, and rumour has it that your father has been replaced by a machine at that toothpaste factory. And I know your planning to spend the last of what money you saved up on Charlie" Harry was treading on very thin ice right now, but Rose had to admit that he was right. Things were just going to get worse. Harry took Rose's hands in his, and stroked the back of one of her hands with his thumb. "I'm going to ask you again. Marry me, Rose, and I promise that I will make things better for you and your family. Your family can move in with mine. We have a big house. There's enough room for your parents, grandparents, and Charlie. They'll all have their own rooms. You won't have to live off of cabbage soup anymore. You can have pancake breakfasts and turkey dinners. You just have to agree to be my wife"

******

Charlie came by to the cafe just as Rose's final shift was finished. She said her goodbyes to Mrs Mason before meeting Charlie outside. The two of them grabbed hands before walking down to the candy shop. "Rosie?" Charlie piped up, making his sister look at him. "Are you alright? You're unusually quiet"

"Did you hear about the last ticket?" Rose asked. "It was found in Russia"

Charlie nodded, a disappointed look on his face. "I heard someone reading the paper on my way to school this morning"

"Well, I have this" Rose reached into her pocket and took out the money. "Just because the tickets are gone doesn't mean you can't have some more chocolate"

Charlie's frown turned into a grin. "Thank you, Rosie" The two of them walked for a few more minutes until they came to the candy store. They both walked in and approached the counter. Rose handed the money to Charlie so he could present it to the shopkeep. "One Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight please"

The shopkeep took the money and gave a bar to Charlie. Charlie began opening up the bar just as the woman beside the Bucket's put down the newspaper. Rose glanced at it, and went wide eyed when she saw the headline. It was completely different from the one she saw this morning.

Russian Ticket a Fake. Still One Ticket Left.

"The nerve of some people" the woman said to the shopkeep.

"I know" the shopkeep said. "Forging a ticket, come on!"

Charlie ripped open the wrapper of the bar, revealing a golden ticket inside. "Charlie..." Rose breathed in disbelief, gently grabbing his shoulder. "You found it.."

"It's a golden ticket" the shopkeep said. Everyone in the shop was now looking at the young boy. "You found Wonka's last golden ticket! In my shop too!"

A man approached Charlie. "Listen, I'll buy it from you. I'll give you fifty dollars and a new bicycle"

A woman walked up to Charlie. "Are you crazy? I'll give him five hundred dollars for that ticket!" The woman smiled at Charlie. "Do you want to sell me that ticket for five hundred dollars young man?"

"No, he doesn't!" Rose shouted at the two adults. "That's my brother's ticket!"

"She's right" the shopkeep said. "Don't let anyone have it! You and your sister take it straight home. Do you understand?"

Charlie grinned at the shopkeep. "Thank you!" He then grabbed Rose's hand. The two of them ran like the wind all the way home.

******

"Mom! Dad!" Charlie called out once he and Rose got to the house. "I found it! The last golden ticket! It's mine!" Charlie showed the ticket to Grandpa Joe.

"Yippee!" Grandpa Joe cheered once he got a clear look at it. He jumped out of bed and began dancing. Everyone stared at him in amusement and surprise. "Here!" Grandpa Joe handed the ticket over to Mr and Mrs Bucket. "Read it out loud. Let's see exactly what it says!"

Mr Bucket began reading from the ticket. "Greetings to you, the lucky finder of this golden ticket from Mr Willy Wonka. I shake you warmly by the hand. For now, I do invite you to come to my factory and be my guest for one whole day. I, Willy Wonka, will conduct you around the factory myself showing you everything there is to see. Afterwards, when it is time to leave, you will be escorted home by a possession of large trucks, each one filled with all the chocolate you could ever eat. And remember: One of you lucky five children will receive an extra prize beyond your wildest imagination. Now, here are your instructions. The first of February, you must come to the factory gates at ten am sharp. You're allowed to bring one family member to look after you. Till then, Willy Wonka"

"First of February" Mrs Bucket said. Her eyes widened when she realized. "That's tomorrow"

"Then there's not a moment to lose, Charlie" Grandpa Joe said. "Wash your face, comb your hair, scrub your hands, brush your teeth, blow your nose!"

"And get that mud off your pants!" Grandpa George added.

"Now we must all try to keep very calm" Mrs Bucket said. "First thing that we have to decide is this. Who is going with Charlie to the factory?"

"Rose will" Grandpa Joe suggested.

"Me?" Rose asked.

"Yes, of course! You want to see the factory as much as Charlie does!" Grandpa Joe reasoned.

"How about you, dear?" Mrs Bucket turned to Mr Bucket. "Don't you think you want to go?"

"Well, Rose does love the factory as much as Charlie does" Mr Bucket said. "Provided, of course, she does want to go"

"No" Charlie said, shocking everyone. "We're not going. A woman offered me five hundred for the ticket. We need the money more than we need the chocolate"

"Charlie," Rose started, getting level with Charlie. "There's plenty of money out there in the world. They print more everyday. However, there's only five tickets in the world and that's all there ever will be. All your life you've dreamed of seeing that factory. Please, don't make a mistake and throw that away. Don't make a mistake like I did today"

Everyone furrowed their eyebrows at Rose. "What are you talking about, sweetheart?" Mr Bucket asked.

"It doesn't matter. What matters right now is that Charlie is going to see the factory tomorrow. Your dreams are coming true"

That seemed to get through Charlie's head. He smiled wide. "Alright, I'll go. And you're going with me, Rosie. After all, you bought me the chocolate"

That's when it hit Rose. She had kept her promise after all. She had promised she would get Charlie a golden ticket, and she did. The two of them hugged. Tomorrow was going to be quite the day for the Bucket siblings.

Alright, so, kinda need an opinion on something.

My English teacher.... is really not the best teacher. Seriously. There are a lot of things wrong with the way she conducts her class.

I have friends in two other periods besides mine. All the same level class, with the same curriculum and everything. At the end of every day, we have to talk to each other to figure out exactly what is happening in that class. What our homework is, when projects are due, when the next test is, everything. Because she doesn't tell us any of it. Or sometimes she'll tell one period, but not the others. We all have the same assignments that are expected of us, but half the time we don't know what they are. Just today, one of my friends had to go back to the teacher after school was over, ask her what the homework due tomorrow was, and then relay all the information to us because none of us knew.

It's not just homework stuff, it's in-class stuff too. She'll tell us we're doing one thing on one day and tell another class we're doing that thing on a different day. Or she'll just change her mind about it completely.

Now yes, we understand that plans are subject to change, but this happens all the time. This week alone she has said we would be having a discussion in class today that we needed to do all this work to prepare for, only to get to class and do something else entirely different. And when we asked when we would be doing the discussion, she only said "maybe sometime next week". Then she told us today that we're having a test on the book we've been reading tomorrow. She has mentioned a test before, but never gave a date or said much about it until now. (It should also be mentioned that she told none of us what will be on the test) Then she told my period that Friday will be a free reading day since she won't be there, but she told another period that she's gonna have us do essay prep for an in-class essay we're doing on Monday next week. (My class hasn't even heard anything about an essay.)

This is just the stuff that has changed this week so far, and this has happened every week, all year.

And it's not like we can check this information anywhere. She never writes stuff on the board (the few exceptions being pages we need to do for vocab, which half the time doesn't get put up till a day or two before it's due, even though it's often 25+ pages and she has said she'll give us a week to do it). There is a calendar she can put up on the online page for our classroom, but it's almost never updated (in fact, the March calendar is still up right now).

That's another problem too: keeping us updated on grades. It's a toss-up as to when we will actually get a grade for something. Currently, I still have 6 grades that have not been entered in from various points of the semester, including an essay from February 15. Seeing as I may or may not be doing another essay on Monday, I sure would like to get a grade back for that so I can see if I'm doing it right, especially considering I've only done one other essay this year. That one we did in first semester, first week of October, and she didn't grade it until the Thursday right before our winter break (it started the week of Christmas). I had already taken my final for the class when she finally put it in.

Our school actually has a policy on grading and one of my friends has gone through and pointed out instances where she isn't following it:

This is only the surface. There are so many other things like this that happen and honestly? we're kinda of fed up with it. The sheer amount of anxiety and panic we get from this class alone? It's bullshit, and we think we might want to try doing something about it.

None of us want to report her or anything (not yet at least), but we would like things to change. We don't want to personally confront the teacher, but we have a friend not in her class (and who has been witness to our conversations about what is happening in class and multiple freak-outs over this class) who is willing to send an email to her "on behalf of some students in your classes" and maybe address some of the concerns we have? We sort of have the draft of an email started, but there's a lot of uncertainty about if we should actually go through with this, or if it's the right course of action for us to take. Maybe we're just overexaggerating about how bad this because we're feeling annoyed, maybe we should be doing more and taking further steps beyond this, we really don't know.

So please, if you have an opinion about this or an idea for what we should do, please tell us. We could really use the help.

#personal tag #please guys #we could really use an outside opinion

02/01/2019 DAB Transcript

Exodus 13:17-15:18, Matthew 21:23-46, Psalms 26:1-12, Proverbs 6:16-19

Today is the 1st day of the 2nd month of the year, also known as February. Welcome to the Daily Audio Bible. Welcome to a brand-new month. And, I guess, you know, you get this far and we’re starting to really settle in. If you make it another couple week’s till Valentine's Day then the chances are that you’ll make it the whole way. So, well done. Well done on the first full month of the year. It’s, you know, we've sailed outside of shore and we’re out into the deep now as we journey through the year together and head toward the end of the year and the next year. So, happy February. We’re still in the same week so, we’ll obviously be reading from the Common English Bible, which is what we've been reading from this week and we’ll still be picking up the story where we left off with the children of Israel newly set free and trying to figure out what comes next. And quite a bit of opposition still out in front of them. Exodus chapter 13 verse 17 to 15 verse 18.

Commentary:

Okay. So, paying attention that proverb would be important since it outlines seven things that God hates. So, it would be good to know the things that God hates and to look and see if we’re doing any of the things that God hates because I mean, if we’re gonna do things God hates that's probably a nonstarter and probably not on the narrow path that leads to life. So, reviewing these things that God hates would be helpful to go back to today.

In the book of Matthew though, we have interesting conversation, but also confrontation happening between Jesus and the Pharisees. So, between Jesus, who is God made flesh, and the religion that had formed around God. And, so, we have to at least acknowledge what we're seeing here. Jesus greatest confrontations and conflict were with what had become of the religion that grew out of the Mosaic law. So, there's this law in place and there are the keepers of the traditions, right, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the Sanhedrin collectively. And then there's Jesus, almost a self-styled rabbi who hasn't come up through the system. And yet He is more compelling and signs and wonders are following Him. And, so, they're coming to Jesus and saying essentially, “who gave you the right to do this.” And, so, quoting from Scripture, “what kind of authority do you have for doing these things? Who gave you this authority?” Of course, Jesus knows what's going on here. Like, they're essentially telling Him, “you didn't come up through the system. Like, you know, right, you’re an outsider. What do you think you're doing?” But they can't argue with the fact that the hearts of the people are turning toward Jesus and this is bringing up a lot of jealousy but also a lot of paranoia because there is a very, very tenuous power share going on between the Romans and the leaders of the Jewish religion and if they can't control Jesus and the hearts of the people are beginning to turn toward Jesus and He's gaining momentum then Jesus could be a problem. So, from the perspective of where we sit 2000 years in the future and being able to look back at the story, it's sad and comical in a way that these people would be trying to defend their power, defend their power share, defend their control over the people and the hearts of the people against God. Oh, but my friends, we do it too. In all kinds of big and small ways we do it too. We’ll look at anyone who doesn't believe the way that we do even though they may be believers in Jesus and love the Lord. Maybe they this see some things nuanced in ways that we don't. And, so, we go after them defending the traditions, defending what we think the truth is. This is what the Pharisees were doing and basically what they had done over the millennia is build an infrastructure, a religious infrastructure, that would not allow God to do a new thing at all. Of course, that didn't stop God from doing a new thing. In fact, He came in person to make all things new and do a new thing and in the process blew up a bunch of stuff. Let's not think that He wouldn't do that again. Let's not think that He's ever stopped doing that. We will never run a circle around God with our theology that He can't escape or that he even really cares about. So, Jesus told a couple of stories and its…this is really a beautiful moment where we see how Jesus uses stories because He uses the stories to confront situations where everybody knows what's being talked about and yet He's simply telling a story. He’s not directly confronting a person but rather critiquing a situation that involves a lot of people. So, He says a man had two sons and he went to his first son and said, “son I need you to go work in the vineyard today.” And the first son said, “I don’t want to do that.” But then later he thought it through and obeyed his father. And then he went to the to the second son and said, “son I need you to go work in the vineyard today.” And the son said, “yes”, but he didn't go. And Jesus question is, “who did the will of father?”. And the answer, of course, is the one who obeyed the father. Even though he said, “no, I don't want to do that”, he changed his mind and he went and obeyed, whereas the other kid said that he would go and he didn't. So, in this scenario the son that said, “no, I don't want to, I don't want to obey you” but then and later changed his mind, these are the people that Jesus is ministering to and He brings even tax collectors and prostitutes into His conversation as an example, people who might have heard the call of God, who might have been raised up to understand an awareness of God. And God comes and compels them to move forward but they’re like, “no”. They’re like living in rebellion, they’re living in sin but later change their mind and go and obey. Then ultimately they went and obeyed the father, whereas the person who gave lip service to what the father invited them to do and then didn't do it, well that kinda represents for Jesus what the Pharisees, what the religious system has become, had become. And then He tells a famous story about the tenant farmers, right? So, a landowner leases the farm to tenant farmers who raise a harvest and then the landowner sends for his share and then there's all kinds of this drama, people getting killed and all this kind of stuff until the farmer sends his son thinking, like, this is the heir, like, this is the owner of this property, they’ll respect him but they don't, they kill him. And Jesus is asking the question, “what will the landowner do?” And, of course, they’re like, he’ll destroy those wicked farmers. But the thing is, those wicked farmers in that story were religious leaders, were the Pharisees. Like, they’re the keepers of the law, they’re the keepers of the traditions of God that God handed down through Moses, all the weight going back to Abraham. And then God comes and says, “okay, now it’s time to open this up, it’s time to…give me my share.” And they’re more interested in trying to take over the field. So, to try to take over the religious system and own and control it and be the de facto judge about who is right and who is wrong, who needs to be judged, and who needs to receive mercy, and the keepers of all the recipes for how to worship the Lord. So, in this story God sends His son and they kill the son, which is a bit of prophetic utterance about the future for Jesus ministry. But to properly think this through we have to wonder how much more success Jesus would have if He came today. No really, if somebody came claiming to be the son of God with signs and wonders…I mean…it would be kind of the same scenario. And, so, what becomes compelling is when we read the stories that Jesus used as illustrations during this confrontation and try to find out who we would be in those stories. And we can very easily go, like, “I wouldn't even be in that story. That’s not like…if I'm in that story…I'm one of the disciples of Jesus” until we actually begin looking at our actions and our biases and the way that we treat one another, the way that we judge each other, which is something we’ve been talking about out pretty poignantly as we've wandered this far into the Scriptures. So, the work for today is really to do that, to revisit these particular parables and understanding their context trying to locate where we would be because we’re probably more like the Pharisees than we would like to admit. And, so, as we go through the Gospels we’re gonna keep observing the Pharisees and we’re gonna keep observing the way that Jesus interacts with them and, you know, we’re gonna continually be invited to decide or to observe what we’re most closely like and what might need to change, what might need to be repented of.

Prayer:

Jesus, this is where we are, this is what has come up in the Scriptures today. And, so, this is where we are and we open ourselves to Your counsel and we invite Your Holy Spirit to speak, to show us all these little subtle things that actually create our character in the way that we look at the world. And the truth is in each of us there’s far more judgmentalism then we’re ever really aware of or admit to and often this comes from our fear of just getting it wrong about You. So, we get together and we really really try to nail down every aspect of what it might be like to walk with You and be in a relationship with You and be doing it right. And yet it just won't…it won't distilled down into that kind of a formula. And, so, we keep those efforts to get it right and become more and more like the Pharisees just trying to define every eventuality when relationships…just…they don't work that way and You've invited us into a relationship, an adventure, an intertwining, that we get to be on this earth as You intended us to be because we die to ourselves and allow You to live through us. So, come Holy Spirit into all of the Pharisees and that might be found in our lives. We reject that and renounce that. We want to follow the path that You are leading. And, so, as we see the stories unfolding in the Gospels we’re continually given an opportunity to examine ourselves. So, come Holy Spirit into that examination. We pray in Jesus name. Amen.

Community Prayer and Praise:

Hello, this is a word for my dear sister Margo the missionary. I want to thank you Margo for answering the call the Lord’s put on your life and I am so greatly encouraged by your courage and especially your honesty and the transparency of your heart. It sounds like this is a mountaintop experience. So, I’d really ask the Lord to give me his words to speak to you. So, I pray that you are blessed by this. My dearest daughter Margo, fear not, neither be discouraged for this pain will pass. I promise to uphold the words to you which I’ve spoken into your heart. This road you have chosen is not easy and I ask it only of my greatest saints because it requires great faith and courage. And these gifts I have and will continue to pour into your heart. Everything you grieve for today you will receive double even an abundance of joy in the days to come. The longings the of your heart will not be replaced, they will be upheld. I go before you, I travel with you, I will allow you to see the great harvest of souls for my kingdom for the work which I have called you to do, therefore be comforted. Your pain will be to their deliverance. Your sorrow will become our joy. Receive My love and My praise. You are My beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. And I want you to know Margo that I will be praying for you and your husband and lifting you up to the Lord in just praising Him and thanking Him. Love your sister in Christ, Treasured Possession. Bye.

Hi Daily Audio Bible family, this is Shelley. I’ve been listening for a few years and I’m checking out Chronological this year. I’m calling it for the first time because I felt the Spirit prompting me to take that step now, so it wouldn’t be harder to do if I wanted to do it in the future. I’ve been really ministered to by the time spent in Job and realize that this touches on some of my fears. I know God is faithful and that He’s with me but I’m also afraid of going through painful things. I think part of my personality is being prepared for worst-case scenarios but that can easily give way to fear and in trying to stand against that I tend to block off part of my heart. It’s easy to distract myself with what people around me need or with serving others or with work or household responsibilities. So, my prayer is that I will take God’s hand and walk with Him through whatever things He wants to do in me or situations that I may face. By the way, the word He gave me for this year is courageous. So, that seems to fit. I really have come to value this community even though we don’t see each other. Thanks Brian, China, for all the others there, for your ministry. And thanks for the way all of you support each other in prayer. Blessings to you today.

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I’m calling from Virginia and I was just calling because I’ve noticed that quite a few people have called in to talk about their own mental health concerns or the mental health concerns of others and I just wanted to share a testimony of someone who has struggled with mental illness for about 15 years. I’m 35 now and I’ve gone through some pretty dark periods. Depression that was so bad that I needed to be hospitalized. I’ve actually been hospitalized four times and I share that just to say that I know what it’s like to be just really, really sick in terms of my mental and emotional health. And God has been really faithful to me. He’s taught me a lot through His word about freedom and His love. And I just want to tell you if you’re struggling and you can hear my voice right now, just remember that your body is subject to this world, this fallen world that we live in, and your mind is as well, but your Spirit man is strong, and you can overcome. You know, currently I take medication and that helps me every day to go overcome. And whatever it takes for you to overcome, counseling and fellowship with other believers and medication and therapy, whatever it takes, you know, don’t be ashamed. Just like if you had kidney failure or migraines or…

Hi Daily Audio Bible family this is Laura in San Diego. I am calling...I just heard some people calling in at the end of the day, the 26th. My heart is sad. My heart is happy when I hear your calls but on a daily basis in my own life my heart is sad that I don’t have a community or even a few close friends of people such as I hear on the Daily Audio Bible that are just about Jesus and real about their life and, you know, supportive of each other. And I’ve been on a long journey in my life. I moved from Ohio to California several years ago but ever since I’ve been here it’s a different environment and people are just not as willing to be genuine or maybe I just don’t know the right people. So…so yeah, I guess my heart is sad but I would like your prayers, that I would be able to find a few close friends that love Jesus and love me and my family and that we can do this walk together. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Sophie and I’m a first-time caller. I’ve been listening for a full year and before that and maybe a couple of months. My very best friend, Karen in Pennsylvania, told me about this app and when I first started listening I...I was so moved and so touched at the sound of Brian’s voice. I’m legally blind, and so voices mean a lot. And whenever I would feel alone or whenever I just couldn’t handle it I would turn to this app and listen to Brian and the Scriptures and I still tell people that, but Brian was the voice of love. I wept __ years and I didn’t know love…I did know I had to pray, but I kept trying, I kept turning to Him and eventually I found Him or He found me, He got through to me. I now…I feel like this is my family. I love you guys. I just wanted to thank you guys and I just wanted to make my place known.

Hi, this is Chaz from New York. This message is for the girl with the lumpy dog, I believe that’s what she refers to herself as. I was listening to you, I think it’s maybe the first time I’ve heard you and I just wanted to say that I love you very much and I empathize with your…with your…ordeal? I don’t know if I mean ordeal, but I empathize with the process that you are undergoing having brought my parents through cancer treatment and I just want to say a word of prayer for you, just a word of comfort and encouragement. Father, I just bring before You my precious sister. I thank You for creating her. I thank You for her life. I thank You for how for You have created her Lord God. And Lord I thank You that You know every cell in her body, You know every organ system. Lord God, You know her heart, You know her mind. Father, I place her at the foot of Your cross Lord and I pray that Your healing would take over her life. Lord God I pray that she would be a miracle Lord God amidst the physicians that are in charge of her care. Lord God that You would normalize every cell cycle Lord God of every cell in her body Lord God. Bring her body to homeostasis Lord God. Bring healing.

I can't believe that they won't begin filming S5 until Feb. 2019! What a f$cking joke. So..No filming for 4 months? Maybe, they should cancel the show then because I'm not waiting for S5. S/C feature films are being filmed this Summer-right? I hope this is a misunderstanding. Because--you know fans are going to complain with this news. Events, twitter, etc.--will be full of angry fans. If C plans on having a baby she can hide it --they do it all the time in film making. Why do I care? WTF

I heard. And I honestly hope Cesar was just speaking for him and Lauren. I can't remember exactly because I have only read the books once but I think there's a segment where Fergus "goes away" and there's no mention of him or his family for a long time so maybe it's because of that?Anyway if he means it and shooting in general doesn't begin till February that suspicious enough. This particular scenario raises so many thoughts and questions regarding negotiations for the S5 and 6 renewal:- they get way longer hiatus that allows to fit other projects in between (why this new power acquired now and not before, I mean they were the irreplaceable stars of the show, one drops there's no OL left and I assume they always negotiated like a team so were they bound by their previous contracts and have only managed to get better conditions now?) Does it have anything to do with having Albretch grabbed by the balls? If this is the case couldn't they use their new power to get rid of the narrative? or don't they want to because they find it useful too? - I said if C wants to be a mother (again?!) she couldn't wait to be done with OL (another 2 years and a half at least) (yes technically she could but you know what I mean) and there's no preggo plot line in the show to help cover it (again?!) so they would need to fit the growing bump with the shooting. It's easier having this long a break. I'm not saying she is pregnant right now or that she isn't (we don't really know if they are the ones coming back in February or sooner) I'm only saying it's easier this way for it to happen. - If it's true filming for S5 starts in February then I offer the daughter I don't have yet to play the part of William's girlfriend, not the whore but some other Diana may write for him seeing how they are gonna catch up with the books.

The Appeal: Your Request Is Denied

The broken pieces are fragmented reminders that overwhelm me through the night. I have always thought forgetting each moment was a relief. I somehow forgave, but I could never forget. I could never unsee. The pain is branding itself over my skin. It's another moment of regret, but it's never been about you, always about me.

As the world kept going, I kept turning, unaware of my dependence on the illusions, on the lies. Because who I was to deny, to say it was just the past and be done with it. I kept climbing an infinite staircase of comfort words that never changed the fact that I had been such a coward for running away. For not accepting each part of me, that's been terrified, of freedom, of a world where I can be who I have always been.

I have been locked in that dark room all my life, each moment of light an unbelievable, overwhelming feeling of hope, but the door kept closing, never letting me savor its peace. The moment is shallow as I embrace my biggest flaw. I ran because it was my flight response. I hardly understood my cowardice. I have been hoping that the locked doors will eventually open. That no matter who locked me in, I would be forgiven, but in the act itself, there is no healing, no freedom from the scars.

They brand my sanity. I know of it now as insanity. It's the very thing I have feared in the darkness within. I didn't want to be branded as one of my demons. But who could free me? Who could see that little girl frightened and fighting to live? Looking for understanding and never finding an answer on why life abandoned her?

Why do the people who loved her want to hurt her?

Why does the world ignore another battered home?

We all have dreams, but I was the consequence of yours. I was left behind, my voice the only company. I felt so buried in delusions that I became the greatest of all. I am the daughter of all your sins. And here I am, trying to fight my way out of this prison sentence.

Your honor, I am innocent. Can't you see I have been framed by life? How do I prove my intentions? Do I scream and kick? Do I destroy the walls you built around me? Could you tell me it's justified to live frozen in the mistakes of another?

I was never meant to be a burden, to be the burden. I am hungry, cold, and battered in this locked room. The four walls are caving in, and I can't say I am not scared. I think I am about to give up, but fuck it all to hell. I won't give up, even if this is the death penalty. I was born, and so I shall live with the heavy mountain of regrets, pain, and disappointment. I will continue till nothing, but tales are left from my time upon this earth.

I have hope because there is nothing else for me to seek. I want peace, and I wish I could achieve understanding so whatever happened is history. I won't look back because I can't right now.

Maybe one day, I will sit down and live every moment for you. I don't know why though, is it for reassurance or to point out how deep I sent all this agony.

Are you telling me to be brave?

I don't know if I can right now.

So, let's come back someday and cherish the life-changing events that made me into who I am today. Maybe then I will stop making excuses for karma, for all the bad luck that gave me so many blessings in life. I will stop looking at this life as it were a curse and more of the rare blessing not many get to achieve.

So, till tomorrow I will hold on to this feeling because it's all I can do right now. So, sit back and watch me conquer my fears, achieve my dreams, climb my way to success. Sit back, and watch me build an empire of love and friendship.

I am closing the door myself.

I won't let anyone else lock me back in.

I am ready to throw away the key.

Are you ready to see me happy?

It was no one fault.

Are we ready to forgive?

I am ready to move on.

Are you ready to love yourself unconditionally?

I am.

It Saturday February 5th. 8:36 pm

I'm doing laundry. Almost done. I vacuumed, clean the outside of my door, & a few other things.

I slept in till 2:20 ish. When my boyfriend called me after he got off from the new job that changes how I'm going to be seeing him. I don't know how all of that's going to go & it makes me uncomfortable.

Especially with how he phrased saying he wasn't going to spend every day of he gets with me. He gets 4 a week now, instead of 2. It came of to me was like he wasn't going to come see me often at all.

Like ones a week is often, especially considering he only lives 30 minutes away depending on traffic. Which it's a whole other issue with how he acts like it 2 hour drive.

Then with the fact I found a long, like 2 foot long, brown hair on him. My hair is short the longest of it being 8 inches. & His mom's hair is blonde. & I have no idea the length. &. It wasn't just like it had fallen on him. It was in his jacket sleeve his jacket sleeve. Truthfully this is the most I've thought about it.

I don't think he's cheating. But I do want to make that down Incase I end up wrong.

But I'm conflicted.

I love this man, but I don't want to waste my time on someone who doesn't have intentions to be more then this.

I want a partner, who is my best friend & I can talk to about whatever. Who I can share all of the stuff I love with. That wants to be with me. & Want the same stuff I do.

I mean he amazing. He kind, he cares about me he shows it. I feel actually safe around him He's arms feel like home. & The 50 other things I can say, & don't feel like listing right now.

I know he love me even though he won't say it, but I don't know if it's in the same way I love him. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But I don't think that going to happen.

I don't want to spend years planning after a man I'm just going to end up breaking up with. If that makes sense. Even if it's wonderful.

I don't know.

I don't know why I started typing.

I'm tired. I just took my antibiotics 22 minutes ago. In the middle of typing all that.

My uncle is at the house I don't like him. It gives me anxiety when he at the house. I just want him to leave. But fuck. This is annoying.

My laundry is probably dry by now. It 9:24 pm

I don't like that the best aspect of my life is my boyfriend. But that's how it is right now.

I retired my dildo because I don't know if it was the boyfriend or the toy that ended with me having a UTI. It was probably the boyfriend. But the toy is to fucking big anyway so I hung it on the wall. Clean before you think I'm gross. It's honest kinda funny.

I wish I hadn't had this UTI cuss I miss the one time in a new moon my boyfriend was actually horny. Not that we don't fuck often enough. Just I'm the horny one. & He in his words not again us both getting some dopamine.

Yeah the more I say about our relationship the more flags there are I know.

I miss my old life. I miss spending all day every day at game shops & with decent to good company. Instead of just being at home all the fucking time.

I'm sure the fact the dnd game I was in on weekends is now over because the boyfriends new job isn't going to feel good

Today didn't feel like a Saturday it felt like a Monday with I don't like.

I think the Friday night game might start up again though & I can try to make a good PC for that. Then the Thursday game is still going which is good & I don't think with stop any time soon which is nice cuss I need some bits of stability with all the changes that have happened in the last f****** month.

A another of my friends move to f****** Texas. & One more is leaving this month or next. Which sucks. If I want that friend who told everyone I was suicidal started talking with me again. Not about that, which I'm still not happy with that. Is perfectly fine with me coming down there to stay with her, cuss she like me around & wants me down there any way.

I'm worn out. I want a good chance in my life.

I put a penny in my money Jar which I know with help.

I know I'm going to get a job I love that gives me good hour, pays me well & let me have time for my hobbies.

My life is getting better. There's no if & or buts about it. It is happening.

I could keep rambling but I have to pee. Then my laundry needs to be finished.

It 9:42 pm
