#Final perseverance

[tabernacleheart]

...Man's suffering shows what God can do. Affliction, sorrow, pain, disappointment, loss always are opportunities for displaying God's grace. First, it enables the sufferer to show God in action. When trouble and disaster fall upon a man who does not know God, that man may well collapse; but when they fall on a man who walks with God, they bring out the strength and the beauty, and the endurance and the nobility, which are within a man's heart when God is there. It is told that when an old saint was dying in an agony of pain, he sent for his family, saying: "Come and see how a Christian can die." It is when life hits us a terrible blow that we can show the world how a Christian can live, and, if need be, die. Any kind of suffering is an opportunity to demonstrate the glory of God in our own lives.

judgement day 🌕

#persona 3 #persona 3 spoilers #aigis #minato arisato #makoto yuki #nyx avatar #lizzy does art #a belated january 31st from me to you! i technically started this at the start of january but got a lil sidetracked teehee! but its done no #i am forever enamored with the fight with nyx avatar- not only is she gorgeous but the boss fight's design really sells the themes of p3 im #i still love how much the major arcana are intertwined with p3's story- from the full moon operations and the final fight #and the lengthiness of the fight. i personally don't consider it tedious bc i came Very Prepared (its the love for grinding in tartarus!)- #but i think that the length has always been a testament to the indomitable force that nyx and nyx avatar are- something that should be- #impossible to go against! yet sees continues to show their perseverance in the endeavor because that's the choice they ultimately made. #i hope to get the chance to draw nyx avatar again sometime! she is absolutely lovely to draw. i had a lot of fun working on this :D #and i also hope everyone has been enjoying the remake <3 i've been enjoying it a lot but i won't be elaborating here. take care!

Welcome to Coffin city. What could possibly go wrong here?

[First] Prev <--> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #lan jingyi #lan sizhui #jin ling #Uploading this comic (57_ep10) has been a *long* series of unfortunate events. #which is so perfect for the fact we are officially in Yi-City now. Of course there's gotta be some kind of curse......... #It is through perseverance & physical pain this *finally* gets uploaded. Several hours late. hhhhhhh. #Enough behind the scenes talk. Its time to talk about LWJ losing to teens #There is nothing truly more romantic than walking through a foggy abandoned town. “oh we gotta stick together the visibility is soooo bad.” #“I guess we gotta hold hands. For safety. And warmth.” #and there's nothing less romantic that being chaperoned by teens. You tried so hard hanguang jun. #I'm excited to have the juniors back in the story. If only they had waited 10 more min to have a crisis

It’s play cutting day! Going to try to make sure every actor gets at least one cool moment.

#Not that today is the only day I will be working on this but today is the first big concerted effort. Final auditions are Tuesday and I #told the students casting and the final Cut of the script would get to them by mid-Advent. #Pray for me! it’s fun but hard to persevere with #Macbeth #theatre #teacher life

#silverware's art #undertale #undertale fallen humans #undertale bravery #undertale kindness #undertale perseverance #undertale patience #undertale integrity #undertale souls #i can't make a justice because i can't think of them as anything but clover #all f then are they/them btw. just a fun little thing #(all the souls are) #i haven't thought about the ocs much probably just npcs if i ever pick this up #(mmmmaybe the cinema worker wuld be a shopkeep??) #undertale oc #i wrote the names 2 times because the first is how i write it and the other is how i think the soul would write it :DDD #these aren't final or anything but i thought i'd share #i like hope the best for some reason- #I SWEAR BENADICT ISN'T A REFRENCE TO FNAF I JUST THOUGHT I WAS CLEVER AND DIDN'T OTICE NOW I'M ATTATCHED TO THE NAME- #(sorry 'bout that. just thought i'd mention it)

“lucas, i’m scared. i’m so scared. i’m so scared. i don't wanna die. i’m not ready. i don't wanna go! i’m not ready.” if the duffers kill max in s5 after that we will be having words.

#not only would it destroy the message of hope and perseverance in the face of personal struggles- the message that’s been a consistent #thread through all four seasons- it would make max’s first “death” scene incredibly pointless when it could have been #so impactful had it been real #obviously i very much want max alive and healthy and happy but there’s something so cinematic and so awe-inspiring about that #shot of max in lucas’ arms with el by her side and the blue light bouncing off their blood-and-tear-soaked faces #before the camera draws back and begins to spin over them... anyway. my point is: #i will be very angry if they end up killing max via coma when they had OPTIONS. well. one option. but it was a really extraordinary option. #her death in s5 despite /everything/ would cheapen the final season immensely and would come off as almost laughably #desperate- but above all so so CRUEL to max and her friends #if she can't live and she can't just die in the attic don't prolong her and her friends' suffering for a far less impactful departure #and furthermore if she can’t live don’t purposefully degrade the meaning and remove the consequences #of a visually and emotionally stunning moment to string along viewers who want to know if max is going to be okay either!!!! #they're already on thin ice from the whole 'el revives max' thing (which i will expand upon in another post) but i've made my peace with it #because it kept max alive and it would actually tear me in two if she died for real but even so. thin fucking ice. to drag max over to #another season after all of that fragile ice walking- only to pass on resolving her arc in a careful way- would be devastating. #in terms of emotional and visual impact we have ‘max actually dying in the creel attic’ up /here/ #(imagine my hand hovering slightly above my hairline) #‘max pulling through the coma and learning to survive and thrive’ right /here/ (hand at eyeline) #and ‘max dying at the hospital’ allllll the way down /here/ (hand at stomach) #which would really fucking SUCK #to be clear i think she’s going to pull through the coma (thank god) because a) the duffers are cowarddddds and b) narrative reasons that #i don’t have enough time energy or tag space to elaborate on #but i also have trust issues from this season so i can envision a scenario in which they metaphorically pull the rug out from under #us and we all riot at dawn together <3 #max mayfield #stranger things #s4 spoilers #** #millie talks #st 4

Sorry you’re having a rough go lately, especially after yesterday :( Give a shout if you’d like me to tag any specific posts so that they’re blockable, or if you just wanna vent. Take care of yourself :)

a bit late to answering but thank u I appreciate the message ♥️♥️ I’m doing a bit better for now at least but damn it’s rough huh 😭

at the risk of oversharing,, this whole thing also just sucks especially hard bc I was already having an incredibly shitty week for other personal life reasons, so the fact that THAT happened immediately after and basically fucked up my whole online safe space rlly felt like a kick in the gut when I was already down 😭😭 like damn could a girl get a DROP of dopamine around here. please. please I’m begging.

but yknow at the end of the day I consider myself to be a very resilient person and I’m sure I’ll be back to my happy go lucky self soon enough 👍👍 tumblr user sunnibits will ALWAYS persevere to draw man titties another day 🫡

#right now I keep cycling between ‘feeling better!!’ and ‘jk it’s bad again’ so. we’ll see how it goes 😭 #worst case scenario I really try to boot myself off tumblr for a while #but let’s be real the chances of that happening are INCREDIBLY slim #ask box #ofmd finale #ofmd spoilers #fr tho they really said damn this bitch having a hard time??? kill their favorite character immediately #YOU COULDNT EVEN GIVE ME TWO DAYS TO GET BETTER LIKE JESUS 😭 #anyways. vent over. I persevere!!!!!! I persevere damnit!!!!!!!!

......Wait why are 70% of my ships "I used to be unable to stand you"/"we had beef for ages" to lovers and 25% "we're childhood friends" to lovers. WHY DID I ONLY REALIZE THIS JUST NOW

#tbd. #◜✧ . ❪ ooc. ❫ #The other 5% are the rarest of my ships... the ones(/one?) where they've met 'recently' and never had any beef #Toma and Shin are childhood best friends who grew to have more and more beef over the years... #A and B are childhood friends who depending on the verse grow up to be on opposite sides... #Dan Heng couldn't stand Jing Yuan at first bc to him everyone who kept him locked up was the same til he learned the truth... #Shalnark and Feitan are childhood friends and one of the few people in each other's lives who've been there the entire time... #Giyu and Sanemi couldn't stand Toshiro for the longest time until his perseverance finally paid off... #Soma and Seiroku are/were on opposite sides of a war with either one or both of them having to die by the end of it... #Naotora and Naoe used to have beef so severe the entire Uesugi & Takeda bands knew of it for over a decade... #Gear and Ash literally met with Gear bashing Ash's head in for being obnoxious on his grounds... #Lawless almost killed Licht several times until he realized he's fucked (<- fell in love)... #Kagari's second interaction w Akane was him shattering her worldviews in the rudest way possible... #Aijiro and Shiro's first meeting was Shiro killing Aijiro and 'reviving' him to be on HIS side of the war instead... #Enzo and Ito are childhood best friends who used to have sm beef as kids until they became the only constancy in each other's life... #Miyuki and Mei are childhood friends AND have had beef for a decade... #Kassim and Judar couldn't stand each other until they realized they're more similar than they originally figured... #Fascinating.

#paranatural #pnat #in the literaral 11 years ive been in this fandom #ive read a lot of good critique of pnat #and that was Not one of them lol #yall letting this fandom get divided over a post like that 🤨 #i wouldve made a bunch of counter arguments here but its really now worth it #you dont have to like the direction the comics taken #i dislike some of the decisions made over the years too #but most of the 'its gone downhill' #is just personal opinion tbh #also #i reread the entire comic about a year or two ago #and the hitball arc was just as good as i remember it being #absolutely one of the highlights of the comic for me #my final point #is that i hate the 'they shouldve just stopped after their injury got worse' #zack is going something im not sure i could ever do #and i have so much respect for their perseverance #and i relate to that desire and drive to make sure your story gets told no matter what #no matter how it has to happen #that story lives inside you and you Have to get it out #even if it isnt in the way you originally imagined #love and light to anyone reading this rant ❤💫 #ok actually adding one more thing to this #you can disagree with me! #just like im disagreeing with that other person! #im just a guy
