Erza Revrykal - The PE teacher

Another entry in my WOA art series aka Wu's Oc Academy. Were I take all my OCs and try fitting/reimagine them all existing in the same made up fantasy setting.

Who was this Oc originally?

I feel this Oc some might recognize. Orginally named Ez'rhya, this is basically my DnD character, who is in the Forgotten realm universe is a githzerai. I've used them several times in homebrew campaigns and as many other used them as template for my Tav in Baldur's game 3.

Just in general one of my more shared Oc over the year, by virtue of being a DnD character. Many of my Oc stays in my mind or is only shared to smaller groups of a fandom. So I appreciate Ez'rhya a lot for helping me get over the anxiety to share my (sometimes cringe) creations. So there really was no doubt they were going to join the WOA.

Wu's Oc Academy ver.

Introduction:

Working for WOA as a teacher, Erza teaches the art of Practical evocation.

The subject of PE centers around maintaining concentration on spells through physical conditioning: If you can dodge a spear, you can dodge a fireball! (It's basically physical education, PE, but for wizard, witches and spell-casters.)

Strict but fair, Erza values the physicals arts and encourages many students to upkeep their stamina, along side upping their academic knowledge.

"Dodge, duck, dip, dive... and DODGE!" - Erza

Erza exudes often the aura of someone ancient. How old they are is unknown and many speculate on if they actually are human. Only the fellow staff of WOA is privy to the fact they are from the fae realms. Here to strengthen the fragile alliance between fae and humans, Erza is the teacher who most students (who dares) confide in on the topic of fae shenanigans. Much to Erza's dismay, as the youth cLEarLY should KNOW better.

Fun Facts:

(Instead of githzerai) Erza is a sea fae, a type of fae folks who resembles a frogs and toads.

Amongs the oldest working members of WOA.

Dislikes the rain.

One of the teachers who doesn't have a favorite. They're all equally fragile in their eyes.

Obnoxious tea drinker.

Hot take make? I dunno

But I hate that there's a race called Gith and also a race called Giff

Why did they make them have such similar names

It confuses me every time and makes me have to be very aware of how I'm saying each one

The solution is that we should stop shortening the Githzerai and Githyanki to Gith, especially since githzerai basically means "the ones that hate that Gith person's ideals"

They need to be shortened to the Yankee and the Zerai. No I did not misspell that

I would really, really love to see the Gith rewritten, from the ground up, from a Jewish perspective.

I never thought about it before, but I was playing BG3 tonight and something that Vlaakith says struck me-

"We are githyanki. We move mountains, we snuff out stars, we shake the planes"

It reminds me of a line from Elsa Korr in Jojo Rabbit-

"There are no weak Jews. I am descended from those who wrestle angels and kill giants. We were chosen by God"

Like, of course it does, they both fall into the trope of badass boast. But also, the way they talk about their people.

And it made me think about the fact that Gith were an enslaved people, who fought their oppressors and broke their bonds with a chosen leader.

Now, could you just rock up and do a thing with Gith that are informed by Judaism and the diaspora as things are? No, because current D&D seems very happy to portray the 'zerai as holier than thou xenophobes and the 'yanki as space fascists. I disagree with both, but that's where things stand. At a bare minimum, this kind of take on the Gith would require a "that's just anti-gith propaganda/the result of the current Vlaakith being a corrupted false queen" retcon/adjustment.

But I would love to see a complete ground up rewrite of the Gith as an allegory by a Jewish writer.

Any fics where Kurt and Sebastian both vie for Blaine’s attention. Kurt must win Blaine in the end obviously.

That's quite a fan favorite topic! Here are just some. ~Jen

In You I Trust by savannah_blue

Blaine is determined to stay unclaimed even though any Dom who gets him alone can force a claim on him once he turns eighteen. He doesn’t even last a day.

~~~~~

The hating game by orphan_account

Blaine can count on one hand the amount of people he has hated in his life. But Kurt Hummel is definitely The Worst. Or: That co-workers AU where they hate each other (until they don't)

~~~~~

Bicycle Patrol Unit By Coffeeaddict80 @caramelcoffeeaddict

When NYPD bicycle cop, Blaine Anderson, begins to fall for Kurt Hummel - the gorgeous man that he first notices while Kurt is jogging through the park during Blaine’s patrol there - it causes a rift between him and his patrol partner, Sebastian Smythe

~~~~~

(Un)requited By klaineanumel

Kurt has watched Blaine fall in love with the wrong guy for years now. He knows Blaine will never fall for him, but when Blaine falls into his bed, he can't exactly say no. After all, he'd rather have this with Blaine than nothing at all.

~~~~~

Outdoor Concert by morethanwords

Kurt and Blaine were colleagues, best of friends at work.. but that was as far as it went. That was until Sebastian Smythe came along.. and a very jealous Kurt had to rethink his ideas. Teachers au.

~~~~~

Tell Me You Belong to Meby E. M. Zeray

It honestly doesn’t occur to Blaine because to him, Sebastian is obliviously no threat. It’s clear how he feels about Kurt. It’s clear that he’s madly in love. Klaine - fluff, smut, jealous!Kurt. Spoilers for 12/6’s episode, “Hold On to Sixteen.”

~~~~~

When the Night is Over by dizzywhiz (@kurtstinypurse )

Starting college was the perfect opportunity for Blaine to spread his wings and begin embracing himself, even the part of him that once got him beaten within an inch of his life, leaving him with seemingly unstoppable nightmares. But what started out as a desperate lie to get someone off Blaine’s back quickly turned into a whole lot more - good thing his new friend Rachel was willing to volunteer her boyfriend Kurt to help him out.

At least, Blaine assumed Kurt was her boyfriend.

Crackpot Headcanon: Vlaakith's 'Grand Design' for Lae'zel (and the Githyanki)

Back again on my raving bullshit for Baldur's Gate 3 (D&D and Forgotten Realms by relation), this time we're looking at the Lich Queen Tyrant, Vlaakith CLVII... cause I have lunatic thoughts of this bitch that fuel the fanfiction I write.

As with all my lunatic fandom ravings, spoilers abound for Baldur's Gate 3, associated materials, and course, take this all with COPIOUS amounts of salt. I get most, if not all, of my 'canon' info from the Forgotten Realms wiki and try to doublecheck the sources but I don't always have the time or means to.

So what is known of Vlaakith is actually very little. The one in Baldur's Gate 3 is, presumably, the 157th githyanki to hold this title and has reigned for a thousand years (mostly as a lich). She has no known heirs and aspires to ascend to godhood (primarily through spam-casting Wish). D&D Lore is very sparse on the githyanki and even more so when it comes to nuances with the githyanki. They have existed since the days of AD&D (Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) but we didn't have much about them, canonically, for a long time.

So, lunatics like myself, let the brain worms fill in the blanks.

We know that Gith, for which the people get their namesake, was the figurehead and Leader of the rebellion that led to the toppling and near extinction of the Illithid Empire unknown millenia before. At her side, I believe both Vlaakith and Zerthimon assisted her (as advisors in different capacities... and to some unknown extent, her only 'confirmed' blood relative, her son Orpheus). As to their exact roles, it is unknown how Vlaakith advised Gith in the matters of her rebellion but given she is referred to as the first of a long series of Lich-Queens that rule the githyanki, her capacity likely involved her skill and knowledge in the arcane/Weave.

After the rebellion, it is believed Gith and Zerthimon fell to infighting, as Gith presumably was so consumed with righteous fury, she single-mindedly wanted to continue hunting down the remaining illithids while Zerthimon, seeing they had won, wished to carve a new life for the 'gith' now that they were free.

In my deranged mind, I suspect/believe that the Proclamation of Two Skies (how the gith refer to their civil war that led to the creation of the -yanki and the -zerai) was stoked and brought to fruition by Vlaakith I. She was always manipulative and concerned, primarily, with her own ambitions. Having witnessed how Gith roused and united the gith, how they called her 'mother' may have stoked jealousy in Vlaakith and so she conspired to take that power and reverence for herself, especially under the suspicion I have that Gith and Zerthimon were lovers/mates (I wrote a theory pointing at Orpheus may be their son).

Vlaakith conspired to turn Gith and Zerthimon upon each other but her plan had an unintended consequence; the division of the gith people into the Githyanki and the Githzerai (and with time, further fracturing in the form of Pirates of Gith, Sha'sal Khou and the Githvyrik (dunno how canon this is anymore because only occurs in one novel)). However, Vlaakith saw an opportunity in this fracture; Gith to be the sacrificial lamb on the altar of her ambitions.

It's believed Vlaakith I's first attempt at bargaining with Baator (The Nine Hells) was seeking a pact with Dispater. However, Vlaakith's attempt(s) failed for one reason or another... likely because Dispater is far more paranoid than Vlaakith is and saw no merit in a deal with such a conniving creature.

Having failed in bargaining with the Lord of Dis, Second Layer of Baator, Vlaakith found herself bargaining with Tiamat. It is, still, unknown the terms of their pact (or how she even got to bargaining with the Chromatic Dragon Queen to begin with) but the bargain was successful and Gith ended up being part of the price.

After the githyanki retreated into the Astral Plane, since the civil war left them weakened (and the githzerai went to Limbo), Vlaakith convinces Gith to travel to Avernus (First Layer of Baator), likely with promises that fed into Gith's violent ego and giving no indication that Gith was not going to make it back. With the bargain paid, Tiamat imprisoned Gith among her hoard (presumably) while Vlaakith returned to the githyanki on the back of Ephelomon, Tiamat's Chromatic Red consort. Together, the two convinced the githyanki that Gith had martyred herself in the bargain and commanded that Vlaakith guide and rule their people in her absence.

This is where the canon gets messy, as there appears to be a discrepancy in the order of events. In the 5e Monster Manual, it suggests Vlaakith sealed the bargain with Tiamat before the Proclamation of Two Skies happened. Texts like Mordenkaine's Tome of Foes suggests the bargain with Tiamat was struck after the split. I'm more inclined to agree it happened after, since the Githzerai and other non-yanki Gith do not benefit from the terms of the pact (mainly the access to Red Dragons)

So, what's this all got to do with the current Vlaakith?

Vlaakith CVII is more than I (want to) believe Larian has told/shown us.

Like her namesake, Vlaakith CVII is a lich that has, supposedly been in power for, roughly, a thousand years by the time the events of Baldur's Gate 3 happen. She upholds the teachings, protocols, and ambitions of her originator and predecessors yet has no known heirs (blood relative or otherwise).

My crazy idea is that Vlaakith CVII is actually Vlaakith I... and all other holders of the 'title' before her have just been Vlaakith. Vlaakith is too vain and ambitious to let something like death get in her way and likely sought every means possible to buy herself the time she needed to achieve her ultimate ambition; Godhood.

Vlaakith's insanity is well in line with the 'canon' behavior of liches, especially 'long-lived' ones. Now, she is just a creature driven by the all-consuming desire to ascend and achieve the ultimate power by any means necessary.

Ascending to divinity/godhood in D&D is... not very clear. The primary factor is faith, as a god needs followers to thrive and derive power from. By controlling the githyanki in all aspects of life, establishing castes like the Inquisitors to hunt down and silence dissenters, sealing Prince Orpheus within the Astral Prism (and infernal chains), using Gith's name and 'sacrifice' as a catylst to keep the people's devotion on herself... but this is a slow process so Vlaakith also encouraged and regulates the militaristic structure of githyanki society to produce powerful warriors that she can, later, consume and sacrifice in her spam-casting of the Wish spell and whatever other means she uses those poor souls for (aside from the husks she keeps)

So, how and why does Lae'zel factor into all of this?

Literally, this is all because of one dialogue line Vlaakith gives in Act 3 of Baldur's Gate 3: Promising to make Lae'zel Baht Vlaakith, the Commander of Dragons; her Chosen (despite having no true divine power). She offers Lae'zel's greatest ambition; to be Kith'rak, to ascend beyond even the standards of her people and serve at Vlaakith's feet.

Weird thing to say to someone you can just Thanos-snap from existence, which Vlaakith does if your party refuses to comply with her at Creche Y'llek. (Seriously, this woman will waste a Wish on you just to remove the entire party from existence for 'waving hello' at her)

Vlaakith has determined Lae'zel as her 'heir' and needs her to return so that she may possess/control her (either through the use of spells like Domination or something more sinister, like excising her soul and possessing her body; no clue if liches can do this). I believe some githyanki that held the title of 'Vlaakith' were simply thralls to Vlaakith I, enhancing her duplicity to make it seem like the title passes on between individuals (despite having NO information on how this is determined within githyanki society).

The only other 'brain worm' I have about why Vlaakith attempts to bargain with Lae'zel one more time about killing Orpheus instead of, I dunno, simply Wish-murder the party, is there is something important about Lae'zel that not even the githyanki herself is aware of. Not to the degree of a psionic null zone but perhaps something Vlaakith has been nurturing through controlled breeding to accelerate her consumption of power... or as an offering to Tiamat.

Hells, if you talk to Withers in the Epilogue about the fate of a Vlaakith aligned Lae'zel... he says she's just gone. Her soul no longer exists.

A fate worse than death and Lae'zel went to it, oblivious.

Yep, there it is... more cracked brainworm thoughts for Baldur's Gate 3.

I'm also not a fan of Vlaakith but hey, I feel like there needs to be way more depth and analyzing some of this stuff my brain just does on its own.. and it fuels my fan-fic writing (which you should totally check out)

I hope folks are enjoying my insane ramblings.

In some ways, I feel like Rakha's liveblog ends up being a lot more streamlined than Hector's bc I have a lot less writing about "Here's how I solved this puzzle for the first time." :P

This puzzle, for instance. Not a particularly interesting one, if I'm honest. The interesting part is what lies behind the door it unlocks.

Another brain to talk to in Gortash's machine, and an enormous carved mural labeled "Desecrated Relief."

As Rakha halts in front of the relief, her mind spasms again in her head and the voice of the Absolute booms through her.

"--OUR -destiny----- DESIGN- downfall....---"

Narrator: Your tadpole echoes. Not with presence, but memory - tinged with loss.

"-THE GRAND DESIGN----- -order--- --perfection---- ---- UNITY--- every plane AS ONE--- every being- ---IN THEIR PLACE---"

Narrator: That loss blooms into a sudden fury, burying claws in your mind.

Pain - agonizing pain and grief and loss, as real in the moment as if she were feeling it herself.

"---taken--- --corrupted--- --GONE-----"

The Absolute screams in her mind, a wail of anguish... and then fades.

Narrator: And just as suddenly, pain and memory are gone - leaving only stone once more.

"The Grand Design," Lae'zel mutters icily. "It is every githyanki's duty to ensure the ghaik empire is never reborn."

"The Grand Design," agrees the guardian, whispering through their minds, a soothing balm after the Absolute's screams. "The restoration of the mind flayer empire. The dream of all illithids."

Rakha nods slowly. She feels rattled and unsettled by this glimpse into the Absolute's thoughts, by its visceral grief at the loss of its own tyranny. While the memory had control of her, that grief and rage was hers, just as the beast's violence is hers in the moments it takes control of her.

She shudders. Will there ever be a time, she wonders, when my mind is mine alone?

She picks up the heavy jar with the brain and drags it back to Gortash's machine.

-----

This one is labeled "Waking Mind," and it is remarkably composed when Rakha activates it.

"Hmmmmm," it says thoughtfully, squinting at her. "Fine bones. Sharp jaw. Some variety of elf?"

Rakha considers correcting it, then decides not to bother. Half-orc. That's what Gale says at least. She remembers nothing; for all the connection she feels to that particular identity, she might as well be an elf.

The head is still talking, anyway. "Pretty enough for a flesh-prison," it says briskly. "If not the noble githzerai features I was born with. I'd guess you're no willing guest of the ghaik either. Perhaps we might aid one another."

"You called yourself 'githzerai,'" Rakha says slowly. "Is that some kind of githyanki?"

Out of the corner of her eye she sees Lae'zel roll her eyes with a muted chk.

The head is equally unimpressed. "Oh, for a set of hands to slap your face," it snaps. "The yanki lost their way the moment Gith threw down the ghaik empire. Only we zerai continue the war to end the ghaik forever. Only we fight them on their own battlefield - the mind."

Rakha rapidly extrapolates a few things from this. The zerai and the yanki are similar but not the same - splintered factions of Gith's whole. Perhaps like those who follow Orpheus, as Lae'zel has described. But she also discerns - this brain is not like the others. It knows its state; it knows it has no body.

"You're remarkably sane," she says matter-of-factly. "For a pickled brain."

"A githzerai's mind is not so easily cracked," answers the head curtly. "Our discipline was the very reason we were attacked. My order taught a psionic technique much-feared by the ghaik. They destroyed us for it and kept me as a trophy. I never broke, but... I've spent all these centuries awake. Aware. So here is my offer. Use your tadpole. Erase me, and I will pass my technique on to you."

Rakha's eyebrows lift thoughtfully. A gith mental technique designed to fight off illithid influence. Something that might push back the tadpole, perhaps? Might help her carve out peace in her own head?

The idea is tempting, as anything that might quiet her mind always is. And yet...

Narrator: [INSIGHT] You catch the lie - the monk isn't telling you everything.

It's subtle, a slight flicker of the eyes away, the minutest hint of indirection. But it's enough.

Her jaw sets in a scowl and she clenches a fist at her side. "If you want my help," she growls, "then tell me the truth."

The head shudders and its eyes go very wide. "All right!" it wails. "I-- the ghaik did not find my monastery. I led them there! They promised me immortality and they gave it! I have been their rotting trophy for centuries!"

Narrator: As her agitation swells, so does her latent psionic power. To your tadpole, that guilt and terror are almost... fragrant. You realize the illithids locked her away not as a trophy, but as a fine vintage.

"Please..." the head pleads desperately. "Touch my mind and purge it. The moment you do, my knowledge will be yours."

The beast would enjoy this mind's death, she thinks vaguely, but only as a by-the-way sort of thing. There is no blood, little pain. For once, this time it is the tadpole that is hungry; she could reach out and consume rather than purge, draw its energy into her by force.

It takes all the strength in her to resist that instinct, to simply reach out towards the other mind and brush against it, gently, gently...

She is so tired of having to fight down the things that would have her rip and tear like a mad animal...

[ILLITHID] Reach out and purge her mind.

Narrator: The awareness that floods you is nothing like the tadpole. It is tentative, and tinged with the loneliness of eons. It fades beneath your touch, but you feel something left behind. A fragment.

"It is only knowledge yet, without comprehension..." whispers the head, its voice fading with each word. "But when you use it, you will... see... and I... I see..."

Its voice drifts into nothing and the head again goes still and slack.

For a long time, Rakha stands very still with her eyes closed, looking inward. The knowledge the zerai gave her had no answers in it, not really. But it settles in the back of her mind, a stabilizing force, a new pillar, a new retaining wall. It is not peace, but perhaps a new glimmer of strength.

"Are you all right?" Wyll asks.

Rakha shrugs.

"Chk," Lae'zel mutters. "A githzerai monk. And a traitorous one at that. What good to drag its little secrets from its broken mind?"

Rakha speaks - a little slowly, as if she is swimming back from the bottom of some deep pool and reacquainting herself with the air. "It... had suffered enough," she says haltingly, and her eyes flick to Wyll in a silent question. A request for confirmation.

He nods, takes her hand and squeezes it gently. "Yes," he agrees.

[zmasters]

I’d like some help on some world building for a dnd campaign I’m working on.

The general gist is that for most of history, the underdark was at best a myth. For most topsiders, the underdark the various species associated with it didn’t exist and there was no way to get to it. Now, thanks to mysterious earthquakes and a mine digging a little too deep, paths to the fabled underdark was been unearthed, and teams are now exploring this new, mysterious land. I would like some suggestions for things that could be down there and how the people who evolved separately from their above ground cousins for millions of years.

Here’s some ideas I currently have:

The underdark was the last bastion of the now destroyed mindflayer empire, who sealed themselves from the outside world.

This empire was later overthrown in a slave revolt, these slaves being above ground species modified to better suit a specific role in mindflayer society. As such, most sentient underdark life are to some degree psychic.

Most of the “civilized” land is dominated by dark elves, gray dwarves, and deep gnomes nations filling in the power gap. All three nations want to be the dominant power of the underdark, and have fought multiple wars throughout history. The current conflict is at a standstill.

There are also underdark humans and dragonborns (represented by gith and gem dragonborns respectively), but they are primarily nomadic tribes and scattered settlements who live in the higher levels of the underdark. They have less space than the three empires and are less organized, but are generally less hostile to the above ground travelers.

The above ground is known as the Overbright.

The people of the underdark worship there associated gods of the Faerun pantheon (ie Lolth, Laduguer, Callarduran, etc).

Drow live in web-like structures suspended in air and connected to cliffs. They venerate spiders and many adopted spider-like traits over the course of their lives. It’s not unusual to find a drow with eight limbs, multiple eyes or mandibles, or capable of producing webs.

Gray dwarves is a society dominated by necromancers, with most of their frontline soldiers being some variant of undead and their ruler being the most powerful lich. Like most dwarves, they are also accomplished smiths and have access to extensive mines, usually connected to a magma chamber.

Deep gnomes are the most technologically advanced society, having access to automaton and arcane firearms. Through this tech has since spread to the other nations through black market deals and theft, they’ve still at the forefront of weaponry. Cybernetics aren’t unheard of (though still rare).

Gem dragonborns are the smallest population, mostly organized into monastic temples and paladin orders. Their leaders believe that the mindflayers aren’t extinct but are in hiding, and regularly send strike teams to hunt them down as well as do mercenary work for the dark elves, gray dwarves, and deep gnomes.

Gith are psychically aware of the githyanki and githzerai, and wish to unite with them. However, their is a split is which culture they should follow if they should follow either at all. Someone who uses the title of -yanki or -zerai is less indicating their race but more of their political stance. Also the Orpheus plot line from BG3 will be referenced.

Dwarves and gnomes are shorter and stockier than their above ground counterparts due to living in under-underground warrens, while drow are lankier and built better suited for climbing as their cities are built on cliff edges. Gith and gems, due to living in the crust between the underdark proper and the surface, have evolved to life in complex cave systems.

Mushrooms are the main crop and most meat comes from domesticated giant spiders and salamanders. I’m debating making cannibalism socially acceptable in some cultures, but haven’t decided on anything.

None of the species are blind, but sight is generally weaker than their senses of smell and hearing to the point that most can comfortably travel without vision.

No previous description of any species represents all of that species. As well, when I say “drow society”, I mean the nation is ruled by a drow royal family and the majority of it’s free population (the big three nations and some gem dragonborn orders and gith tribes do use slavery to varying degrees).

The campaign itself is more of a dungeon crawl, where the party start above ground explore deeper and deeper into various locations in the underdark. Of course, “dungeon” is a loose term, and it can mean cave, castle or fort, or even a village.

Thinking Vere Hard once again about Orpheus' name and how it doesn't quite fit with established gith naming patterns (inasmuch as those have been established). The fact that he's the only one with an actual real-world mythological name has always made me feel like it's supposed to be translated/at least somewhat altered from the original, which then leads me to wonder - do the gith have an equivalent mythological figure?? Does his name come from an older form of the language? What does it meaaaannnn (and do gith[yanki/zerai] place any significance on name meanings at all?)

(I know the out-of-universe answer is "devs named him based on Vibes", but shhh. This is Watsonian Interpretations Happy Hour.)

[sizenebayim]

Ben de size bir şey danisacaktim. Yakın zamanda bir evlilik görüşmesinde bulundum. Beyefendi ailesini beğendiğim biriydi. Tanışın dediler tansimaya başladık. Hafiften de bi ısınmaya başladım ki beyefendi bitkoin ve borsa ile ilgileniyormuş. Benim bi önceki görüşmem de aynı sebeple bitmişti. Sonra bi önceki görüşmek isteyen beyefendi de aynı durumdaydı. Ben görüşmek istememiştim.

Velhasıl ben 3tür aynı şeyle imtihan oluyorum. V İşin kötüsü bu sonuncu görusmeye de ısınıyordum yahu. Ama bu durumda hayatımda olmasını isteyeceğim bir şey değil. Konuşmayı devam ettirmemeyi düşünüyorum. Ama acaba der miyim diye de merak ediyorum. Bir tavsiyeniz var mı acaba ?

Selâmünaleyküm 🕊️

Bu bahsettiğiniz bitcoin ve borsa meselelerine tam olarak hakim olmamakla birlikte helalliği yahut haramlığı konusunda net keskin çizgileri olmadığını ama şüpheliye kaçan çokta sağlıklı olmayan kaygan bir zemin gibi görüyorum. Şu linkte bi açıklama buldum Sedd-i Zerai adında “sakıncalı işlere sebep olabilecek şeyleri başından kesmek”le ilgili bir kaideden bahsedilmiş. O yüzden ben de sizin gibi endişelenir ve böyle bir yolu tercih etmek istemezdim.

Zira helal olmayan tek lokmanın bile insanı yaktığını, fıtratımızı inancımızı ahlakımızı ve iki dünyamızı da ifsad ettiğini biliyoruz. Tüm ibadetlerin en başı helal lokma ve kazançtan geçiyor. Ve özellikle de kazançla yükümlü kılınmış bir erkeğin bu tarz şeyler konusunda çok çok hassas olması, şüpheliden uzak durması gerekiyor. Benim de evlilik görüşmesi yaparken çok önem verdiğim bir husustu ki çok şükür beyefendi bu konularda çok çok titiz dolayısıyla içim rahat o yüzden baştan seçim yaparken çizgilerimize dikkat etmeliyiz, duygulara kayıp dinimizden bizim için çok mühim olan hayat tarzından, şimdi göz yumup iki gün sonra probleme dönüşecek konularda taviz vermemeliyiz. Ve reddettiğimiz şey Allahın sınırlarına uymayan bir mesele hakkındaysa da asla pişman olmamalıyız. Evlilik dikkatlice seçimler yapmamız gereken çok mühim bi konu. Çünkü doğru eş seçimi yapmakla biz neslimizi imâr ederiz, yanlış bir seçimse çocuklarımızı, torunlarımızı neslimizi ifsad edebilir. Ondan ötürü deniliyor ki doğru olanı bulmadan sakın evlenmeyin. Yaşınız ve çevreniz sizi yanlış bir seçim yapmaya, sırf evlenmek için evlenmeye itmesin.

Yine çevrenizde bu mevzu hakkında daha detaylı bilgisi olan kimselerle istişare etmenizi ve evlilik konusunda detaylıca çok çok dua etmenizi öneririm 🫶🏻
