#Creating a personal devotional

You Can Write Your Own Personal Devotional

“His Abide” Devotion – earnest attachment to a cause, person Context: Luke 10:38-42 Focus: “Martha, Martha, the Lord answered, you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed-or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” When Jesus visited the home of Mary and Martha, Martha was in a tizzie, anxious and distracted by all the…

i think the barbie movie would have a profound psychological impact on hua cheng

prev comic / next comic / follow for still more hualian barbie movie content because i am not done

bonus angsty version 🎉 i hate love expressions just a couple tiny lines on the mouth and eyebrows and it goes from silly to sad

:(

#this is a haha hua cheng devoted joke but idk it’s nice to think about how much of his identity and self worth is placed on xie lian #obviously since he was 10 most of his major life choices were to serve the crown prince #but in the interval time he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and decided it was his responsibility to create a ghost haven #he works on artistic mastery and alternatively brokers deals with and evades assassination attempts by heaven #if asked i think he would say he only does good for dianxia’s sake (What Would Dianxia Do) and is actually a bad person #and similar stuff about his combat and art skills #theres a question here about how much of his success is due to being such a determined person and how much #of it is luck from ‘the savior’ reversing the star of solitude #how much hua cheng is left when you take away xie lian? #he would say nothing #xie lian would say a billionaire genius playboy philantrophist etc #tgcf looooooves to talk about destiny and free will and so do i #all this to say if it was in character for hua cheng to cry at a movie hed be sobbing #this can be read as pre or post confession btw #the poll decided which version of the comic was the ‘main version’ above the cut #tgcf #art #comic #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #mxtx #my art #barbie #barbie movie #tgcf meme #lmao

Lying on the floor in a puddle of my tears and staring blankly at the ceiling as I once again think about all the fucked up, multi-dimensional ways that Kim Dokja, Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung encompass the god vs creation and deity vs worshipper dynamics

#it goes all ways between them and stacks on top of each other #there’s like five different angles to it and a secret sixth thing and it makes me go insane #is a god the person who creates or the person who preserves created life by sheer faith alone #the absolute mind bend of a world created for one person alone yet that entire universe kept alive by their imagination and love for it #also the whole situation of love from reader to creator and creator to reader and character as a tool but character as a devoted companion #the way the creation loves and devotes itself to suffer for its god-not-god in turn #ORV is so convoluted it’s like five billion mindfucks stacked in a trench coat #and I love every silly little word of it #ugh #orv spoilers #orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #omniscient reader’s viewpoint spoilers #kim dokja #yoo joonghyuk #han sooyoung

I just know that the moment Mu Qing ripped the veils off the statues in the Cave of Ten Thousand Gods and the trio found the mural was a religious experience for Xie Lian. I know because it felt like a religious experience as I was reading it.

#tgcf #and then fengqing come along to RUIN IT #imagine feeling what it’s like to be unconditionally loved and supported after succumbing to the idea that you will always be alone #and this feeling comes from stumbling across a MASSIVE MONUMENT TO YOUR DEVOTION CREATED BY YOUR CRUSH #just to have your ‘friends’ tell you that actually the other person feeling such things for you is *disgusting* #that their love for you is meant to *harm* #that nobody could ever love *you* 🫵 without ulterior motives #fengqing are sooooooooo lucky that xl is better than me #cause if i was in his shoes i’d have told hc to kill them #immediately. post haste. asap.

also quite obsessed with karl being as detached from the story as he is. there's nothing that makes him have to be the detective that has to be involved, but he unknowingly dooms himself by agreeing to work with the KYAL cult. every other detective basically deals with elias head on except weissman, who only meets him right before he kills him. like he's right when he says "by my choices" because everything that leads him to being mixed up with the mannix cult is himself. it's the gambling debts and the choice to do the dirty work for an organisation he knows nothing about. he's the only one that doesn't encounter that body doing police work and it's specifically because he's told to cover it up. he gets himself into the mess and eventually fixes it but the fact that esther always dies in the doomed timelines and he's always too late even if he starts wanting to change things ("till this child. esther.") it just makes me very ill

#sorry jane who heard this on her dms but now im posting it to tumblr cause im having a category 5 woman moment. AND ALTERNATIVELY: #i am also EXTREMELY obsessed with how its a time loop and the idea (so sorry tumblr user whose post i have lost and was inspired by) #weissman was just so fucking hard to deal with that they made sure that he was in their pockets. i just like the idea of the loop-- #--having like. fixed points that elias would need to ensure the dystopia (body is covered up/the investigation closes/etc) but #how they get there is a slightly slower process and the earliest loops were the messiest/most unpredictable #and what we see in the show itself is like. the most streamlined version over hundreds of loops and attempts #so karl specifically. lonely that he is and determined to survive. AND with a cruel streak against people he doesn't like #kept nearly blowing their operation so they began to incorporate him in it instead #there's also another tragedy in there if /esther/ is what they realise works best against him.. #just love and kindness for a girl that weissman comes to see as family and they immediately exploit it after learning during an early loop #im ignoring specific plot points here (polly seemingly panicking when esther shows up at the station) but I DO NOT CARE. #THERE'S ANGST HAPPENING RN. IM CREATING SCENARIOS TO HURT ME #now if i could write coherently this would be written as a fic but im stuck writing too long textposts #karl weissman #bodies 2023 #bodies netflix #sorry to the other detectives. weissman in particular is my babygirl who i devote most of my brainpower to #personal

I hate to say it but Good For You Dear Evan Hansen would make a great postcanon Giorno animatic

#not really a devoted musical person HOWEVER. society if i could create the animatic I’m imagining to this song rn #jjba

*taps microphone* This thing on? Okay. Mello as a Saint and Near as his devoted High Priest. Thank you.

#meronia #death note #mello #mihael keehl #near #nate river #post-mello death of course #im imagining near creating a whole ass cult #a new religion based on his personal martyr #he holds mello's rosary between his fingers but prays to the wrong god for forgiveness #idk near dressed in priest black to symbolize mourning and his long white hair symbolizing devotion #that is all. thabk you

I know I said I liked to see a certain type of Michael being portrayed in the media bu I'd also have a teeny tiny obbession now with the idea of Michael being this absolute psychopath and a menace to the devil's own ego, narcissist, mindset, and ONLY to him. Like to everyone else he is just a soft and loyal commander, well respected and one who has a soft spot for humans bc that tends to be his whole ordeal. But to Lucifer he is both his biggest horror and the only being that can understand him in all the ways. They are both cut from the same cloth of madness and trickstery and cunning, but only one realizes the limits of their own power while the other wants to grasp more and more in an endless chase which causes his own doom.

#Also the idea of Lucifer once being in the same possition- commander- that is now Michael's is so SCRUPTULOUS bc #it means that Michael at some point had been under the service of Lucifer #and my favorite headcanon of this is that Lucifer had trained Michael to be his second in command due to his protective adn loyal nature. #And that Lucifer had subconsiouly created the one person who will destroy him. #Subsequencially. Michael having his fascination or adoration with Lucifer that he essesntially became someone like him. taking on his place #in heaven. but with the difference that Michael's devotion and love is completely selfless while Lucifer's is the opposite. #and that Lucifer is also distraught at the sight of Michael the version of himself that he loathes and that he knows is what everyone wants #him to be. the better version basically. #angels #angelology #bible fandom #archangel michael #michael/lucifer #lucifer #most twisted messed up romance that is the most healthy option for both of them 👍

Title: cave-in Fandom: Dark (2017) Pairing(s): Jonas Kahnwald/Noah | Hanno Tauber Word Count: 10,168 Rating: Explicit Tags: Missing Scene, Developing Relationship, Mutual Pining, Friends to Lovers, Love Confessions, Getting Together, Hand Jobs, Masturbation, Sex in a Cave

Summary: It felt as though Jonas had handed Noah a bag filled with miscellaneous puzzle pieces. He thought he could see the outline of it: Jonas, the hanging, Adam. Time, inevitability, devotion. Love.

read the fic on AO3

#dark netflix #jonas kahnwald #hanno tauber #jonas x noah #noah dark #don't mind me I'm just spicing up the tag a little #isn't it funny how you could theoretically fall in love with a guy you've known your whole life... as almost an entirely different person #what must it be like for Jonas... to hear and experience such devotion from a guy who has grown revering the parts of you that you reject #Jonas has been with Noah from the beginning... he is with him until the end... in directing Silja and Bartosz he creates and names Noah ane #anew* lol tumblr cut me off. anyway #insane if you ask me #dark #my fic

turns out i am the type of hallmark FMC who's up for a massive promotion at work and is bummed bc she doesn't have someone to share it with, which sends her into a spiral of not being married yet 🙃 not what i wanted to find out about myself today

#i'm not texting friends/fam because it's not official yet #and it might not even happen because corporate doesn't like my division #last year they didn't promote any women so there's also that #but i might be creating an entirely new role and it'd be insanely cool and very girlboss of me #live in a small beach town? check #narrowly missed an engagement a few years back and devoted to work ever since? check #core personality traits are sweaters and tea and books? check #but like where is bob floyd to tell me he's proud of me #AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO BE MARRIED WHAT IS THE POINT OF THERAPY IF I HAVEN'T INTERNALIZED THAT YET #every now and then it pops up and i'm like...wait DO i want kids and a husband??? and i don't #but boy howdy what a ride #sana things

#dreamling #sandman #hob gadling #dream of the endless #web weaving #poetry #parallels #open love letter to sandman fic writers who create queer subtext #its about love as devotion love as sacrilege love as a force that changes the narrative #loving someone so much you force them to acknowledge theyre a person #so much you pull the stars from the skies themselves

i care less abt suguru in this fic i’m literally just thinking abt haigojo rn and their dynamic

#they go on fun dates + they’re always touching somehow + they’re also SOOOOOO protective of each other #that’s something that always FASCINATED me abt haibara……… he’s so insanely protective #forbidding his sister from going to jjk high??? bc he wants to protect her??? bc he’s the eldest??? #trust that THAT vibe will be present in my fic… protective!haibara my beloved #haibara loves his friends & boyfriend & family more than life itself… gonna use canon haibara in my fic too like personality wise obvi #ALSO HAIGOJO JUST LOVE TO HAVE FUN AND BE TOGETHER #they’re sooooo. cuddly and snuggly and clingy towards e/o #i think haibara also is so energetically blunt and satoru loves him for it #because satoru needs someone like haibara in his life Okie he needs someone to rely on & be taken care of too!!!!! who better than loverboy #and vice versa… haibara loves gojo bc satoru is so cool & playful & strong-willed and also. is LOADED #they’re just soooooo. loving & devoted & Understand Each Other #i think ppl always think they’re Too Much but they get e/o in a way others don’t… never feels like a chore being w one another #not me creating haigojo lore mfnfnfnf this really is just for me to have fun w these characters #personal #snippets

Me after Gnosia: ...maybe someday I can recover from this TT^TT

ORV: I think the fuck not

#If I had a nickel for every time I read a story about two people so devoted to saving each other that they #in the process of saving one another #start a time paradox wherein the other person becomes involved in timeline shenanigans that will in turn create the other timeline shenanig #ns of the second person #I would have two nickels #which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice #gnosia #omniscient reader's viewpoint #(also NO I didnt forget about han sooyoung I COULD NEVER) #(just simplifying for the joke haha) #I feel like if I got hit by a car and then stood up then immediately after got rammed by a semi

my cleaving the What Astarion Sex is More Moral To Have discourse down the middle by saying of course I think he wants to be a slut again, and feels frustrated and limited and damaged by the effect his past still has on him, but I think he would be happiest with a long-lived character who's already had decades long relationships that flow naturally from friends to lovers to a weird undefinable middle ground to back again as they go through life, where waiting several years or more for emotions to turn again into something physical is not a remarkable or difficult length of time to wait.

#don't affiance this gremlin too soon #take him to your woodland grove first #let him go find himself #i just want him to meet tav's parents #who chose pretty young to embark on a lifelong bond: #the lifelong bond was creating a great piece of art together #tav was an afterthought who they loved genuinely but as a secondary thing #their relationship (physical) was a secondary thing to their love of the craft #it shaped tav's concept of devotion even as she left them for her own true love (sailing the sword coast) #astarion is the first person she was not so fully aligned with #i just picture Astarion receiving a gift from Tav's father like eurgh this is some premonition of marriage #and tav's father is like what the fuck are you talking about we love independence above all #you choose every single day what you are going to commit to no shortcuts #i choose worshipping corellon and arshaunee and weaving tapestries #and i have not taken one day for granted in four hundred years #its intimidating of course as it should be
