part of what made across the spiderverse so perfect was that it was largely centered on WHO spider-man is, in EVERY universe. not just Miles, or Peter, or Gwen, or Miguel. Spider-Man. it was about the ESSENCE of Spider-man. Spider-Man is love for humanity. Spider-Man is having to sacrifice and lose everything you love for the mask. Spider-Man is rebellion against the powers that be. Spider-Man is about trying to do both, in every universe. about not taking no for an answer or listening when everyone tells you your destiny. refusing to choose between the things and people you love. that’s why Spider-Man is so compelling: they want everything, even though everyone else tells them they can’t have it. that it’s not meant to be. and they just. keep. trying. keep getting back up. they just keep going, man.

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you” (Isaiah 46:4).

Our heavenly Father has promised to carry and sustain us and rescue us throughout our lives. Not just when we are frightened children, but right through to our old age.

The word sustain means to give strength, and comfort, to encourage and nourish. This is what God does. We don’t have to face our troubles relying on our own strength, because God is with us all of our days. His care doesn’t stop when we reach adulthood, but lasts throughout our lives. What a wonderful Saviour!

Prayer: Thank you Lord that you are a God who cares for me, my whole life. Help me to cast my cares on You, and trust You always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

SPOILERS FOR NEW SPIDERVERSE

I just saw the new spiderverse (it was amazing) and all I can say is SERIOUSLY?? Y'all are thirsting over this guy???

Man is beefing with a fucking fifteen year old! He sees Miles and immediately goes straight to ragging on him for not knowing something that he deliberately kept Miles out of the loop from! Oh wow Miguel! Miles doesn't know what a Canon event is? Crazy! It's almost like he was specifically excluded from the group of people who knew all about that! Who excluded him Miguel? Why didn't he know? That's what I thought bitch

and then he's like "yeah ik you have no superhero support network, yeah I have specifically told your friends not to speak to or talk to you for no reason I will explain, your dad dies in two days (I am yelling this at you minutes after getting unreasonably mad you didn’t know about things that are common knowledge in my spiderman club (the club you aren't allowed to join)) and also you aren't allowed to save him. I expect you to react calmly and logically to this news. I see no problem with any of this why are you being unreasonable" when Miles is understandably upset by this

Like the sheer audacity of this fucker is unbelievable

#Don't get me wrong I really liked Miguel #I thought he was an incredible antagonist and one of the best anti-heroes I've seen in ages #His parallels with the kingpin from the first film was impeccable #And a key example of why (even at his darkest) Miguel is still a spiderman #He chose to sacrifice his old life to live with his 'family' #Which is the inverse of what kingpins goal was in the last film #And even on a grander scale with his insistence on maintaining Canon events #Over and over he is sacrificing spiderman every spiderman to save everyone else #He is putting everything over spiderman and the other spideys are going with it bc that's who spiderman is #It's only miles (who is a schrodingers cat of spiderman) whi both is and is not who says no #Who refuses to sacrifice himself and his father to the cause #Which in a roundabout way make him the most spiderman of all #Spiderman is your friendly neighbourhood spiderman #He protects the little guy that others don't have time for #He doesn’t save the world but he looks out for the people who no one else will #And rn no one else will protect spiderman so he will #miguel o'hara #across the spider verse spoilers #across the spider verse #rant post #miguel spiderverse

Name one skill you haven’t yet perfected that you want to master.

Well if SOMEONE was more SUPPORTIVE, I could start putting my theoretical knowledge of Nightsister Magick into practice right about now!

I was ten years old when you were born. (modern)

In   this   moment,   as   daybreak   unfurls   its   lustrous   embrace   across   the   cerulean   expanse,   there   exists   a   marina.   Here,   serpentine   paths   of   concrete,   aged   as   gracefully   as   a   vintage   from   an   esteemed   vineyard,   curve   alongside   the   gentle   murmurs   of   the   watercourse—a   portal   to   the   immeasurable,   enigmatic   sea’s   heart.   Piers,   resembling   the   outstretched   limbs   of   veteran   mariners,   plunge   into   the   tender   caresses   of   the   waters,   anchoring   an   assembly   of   vessels   with   nylon   strands   to   age-old   cleats.

Water,   an   eternal   artisan,   molds   the   immense   stones   at   its   border   into   timeless   monuments   to   nature’s   dogged   perseverance.   Guardians   of   wood,   sheathed   in   protective   rubber,   stand   watch   over   the   ceaseless   affections   of   the   waves,   while   barnacles,   the   ocean's   inconspicuous   craftsmen,   adorn   the   pylons   at   the   waterline,   manufacturing   a   narrative   rich   with   maritime   heritage.   Metallic   ladders,   reminiscent   of   liquid   silver   streams,   plunge   into   the   depths,   bordered   by   relics   of   sea   life—containers   concealing   the   ordinary,   hoses   and   spigots   poised   to   quench,   and   receptacles   holding   the   echoes   of   humanity’s   dialogue   with   the   deep.

Amid   this   domain,   tools   of   safety   and   prudence   lay   in   quiet   expectation,   encircled   by   the   implements   of   fishing   ventures,   whispering   of   the   unseen   giants   beneath   the   blue   veil.   The   atmosphere   trembles   with   the   pious   dance   of   individuals   clad   in   beachwear,   who,   in   an   ancient   ceremony   as   perpetual   as   the   sea   itself,   prepare   their   vessels   for   the   voyage   into   the   open   waters   or   nurture   them   with   the   tender   care   of   salt   and   wax.   Sun   forms   a   spectacle   of   light   upon   Adam's   ale,   transforming   the   mediocre   into   a   vision   of   awe-inspiring   aesthetic.

They   wander,   in   pursuit   of   solace.   Eyes   deep   with   the   richness   of   caramel   roam,   moving   in   accordance   with   his   presence—a   symphony   of   coexistence   amidst   the   myriad   expressions   of   dasein.   Couples,   families,   children—each   imbues   the   marina   with   vibrancy,   their   laughter   and   conversations   a   rhythm   of   the   human   condition.   Some   stride   past,   casting   glances   that   linger,   admiring   the   synergistic   bond   between   them.   A   petulant   smile   rests   upon   her   lips   as   she   heeds   his   words,   her   complexion   a   study   in   reflection.   The   sweet   resonance   of   his   voice   shifts   her   attention   from   the   terrain   to   his   gaze. “Does   that   bother   you?”   The   concept   of   age,   so   inconsequential   and   yet   so   pivotal   in   societal   judgment,   had   never   dimmed   her   spirit.   Yet,   she   wondered—perhaps   not   for   her,   but   what   of   him?   In   a   realm   often   swift   to   judge,   might   their   union   be   viewed   as   an   act   of   askance?   “I   don’t   really   care   about   what   others   think.   We   are   doing   nothing   wrong.”

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

I've had a couple of arguments with people about the contents of a book they'd never read and had no intention of reading and I've come to the very sensible conclusion that people shouldn't take it upon themselves to comment on anything they aren't capable of summarizing clearly, completely and without help.

#fandoms #religion #star wars #people who skip the phantom menace/haven't watched the prequels in ages and try to srgue about the way the jedi were meant to be understood #shshshsh #and people who have never opened a bible in their LIFE trying to tell ME the meaning of the only verse they know

[usagimen]

Anyway, since Cyberpunk 2077 continues to be the oldest verse here - a new synopsis is in order.

      A former Arasaka prodigy, she spent most of her time growing up in the arms of the Academy. Hailed as a prodigy, her netrunning skills are second to none, if she continued on Sayuri would have become a corporate legacy within no time. Most, if not all her implants are throwbacks to those former glory days or so many of her corpo allies would say. At the age of eighteen, she faked her death && lives under the alias, Ryūjin. It’s been rumored she has no understanding of her former surname nor will she allude to it, proclaiming whoever that girl was, she is dead. Most of her territory is within Westbrook, particularly Japantown, though she holds onto all of the region by proxy. She is a competitive woman that sought her claim as a fixer through her former career; a BD actress that specialized in grindhouse movies. Yes, everyone && no one has seen Sayuri in some shape or form. She is constantly swapping faceplates, thus it is easy for her to evade detection altogether. Her work is considered top of the line, premium, easily tapping into thousands && millions worth. If one decides to speak with her more in depth, she will remark it’s been a long time since she recognized herself in a mirror, but she’s never changed her eyes since then she would be lost forever.

How intense is her reconstruction? Here are the finer details of each implant

Multiple face plates, currently sporting a rather infamous gravure model’s look, during her days as a villainess in BD’s she had a personal faceplate created && trademarked.

Rippers, rose gold claws

Full body sculpt, outer epidermis is enhanced to make lacerations difficult - covered in a soft subtle sheen 

Nanowire, a relic from her days with Arasaka

Deep dive port, she covers it primarily with her hair opting for medium to longer lengths so it remains secretive

       She is frequently seen within the Afterlife, during the prologue, Sayuri can be seen ordering sake bombs for her own crew. By Act Two, her office can be found within a smoky karaoke den where she jokes, there is no way in hell she would let anyone know her actual location. While remaining competitive edge, she often breaks deals with other fixers, though this is to secure her position as an elite employer. High paying jobs that are worth the risk, it’s something she prides herself in but will rescue anyone in her crew that is in danger, safety is important to her.  Personal items often showcase she has a pension for fast cars && bikes, loves disco && dancing, her former cyberdeck is covered in vintage stickers from old bands no one remembers. There is also a hint she still holds onto her traditional roots as she is prone to being superstitious && seemed to speak with Sandayu Oda on a regular basis before her vanishing, even remarking they sparred a few times - she won, naturally.

#cyberpunk 2077 verse tbt. #// there is an edgerunner option still kinda ehHHh about what to do for phantom liberty #// I do love the thought of Oda and Sayuri being the same age #// but they'd kill each other on sight since well corpo life is rough #––– ❛ headcanons 【 shoganai 】

@mercysought asked: ❛  let’s  pretend  like  we’re  friends .  ❜ from maxima :) (𝑺𝑶𝑭𝑻 𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑹𝑵𝑺 STARTERS: no longer accepting.)

A strange request...but as usual, he's calm. Gale, dressed to the nines—a ravishing ensemble, his cloth of purple kissed prettily with teal—looks casually upon the twirling masses. He's little one for galas, more a man of libraries than lavish sprawls; however, with Maxima's quip, he craves home more than ever. Gosh, her cruel, foul mouth! Lesser men would wail. 

Fortunately, Gale, ears ringing with the crashing music, is hardly one to rile. As it were, he and Maxima go way back, far back, his chest with bomb and his hair more grey. She's scalding where he soothes. She's knives where he's poetry. And diametrically opposed, born to clash like the elements, Gale, beside her, finds a state of equilibrium; that is, he, inspired, grows sassy, too.

"Under better circumstances, I would advocate for being of the very same mind," he starts lamely, "but as it were, you've those morals of a corkscrew." You're a jester, Gale. He finishes his glass of wine, sets it down, and bunches his brows. Maxima... "I wonder what it is friendship with you entails. If you're asking for a dance, this is a rather roundabout way of doing it."

Not one to fear burns, Gale turns, her sharp eyes greeting him through the sheen of chandeliers. Things have changed since their youth, his life now compromised. (He needs her help.) She still dreams, he's sure.

#MERCYSOUGHT #DRAGON AGE VERSE. #I don't have one...but GET THIS #Gale is LIKELY from Tevinter. #He is a remarkable gifted prodigy of a mage #and...dabbling with magic he shouldn't have he ended up with a piece of corrupted Veil within him #that will soon take his life. #Gale doesn't want to be here. but he's here for Maxima... #Maybe maxima can help him? he doesnt even know if its worth asking #he's so ashamed and so distraught. he isnt one to make his problems anyone else's either #and i'm running off this...idea that they go way back #they ARENT close. maybe rivals? maybe more just shes knife-like #and gale isn't afraid of getting cut. so they have a strange dynamic that isn't at all friends #but they both are familiar with one another social circles #my head goes their dynamic is Maxima coolly making sharp remarks and gale just taking it like water off a ducks back... #in My head its HILARIOUS

straight up getting emotional about a thing that happened in a campaign that ended over a year ago

like. i wrote an ambiguous and biased backstory of a character who is part of an apocalyptic world-ending cult, who deep down wanted to study wizardry but had to frame it as going undercover as an apprentice and stealing secrets from this doddering old archmage to aid her people’s cause . and then she goes and learns wizardry and eventually realizes she wants more for herself and breaks from her cult

and i mean. there’s a lot of ways my dm could have run with that. i was fully expecting that archmage to be furious at my character for lying to and stealing from him. and so when they ran into each other again, i was braced for a fight, or at least an altercation

but instead the archmage went. i knew all along. of course i knew. i’m a divination wizard, silly. i saw a young woman in a bad place and i wanted to help her. i thought that by showing her kindness and creating an environment for her that wasn’t all about power struggles and nihilistic fanaticism that she might realize that there was more out there in the world for her. that she deserved more. you didn’t steal secrets from me, because i gave them to you. i was your teacher. i loved you and love you still

and god i didn’t know where that character was going to end up before then. i thought maybe she could go on a typical wizard hubris spiral, or a revenge quest against her old cult, but in that moment i was like. oh. she is loved. she has new friends, new family. she has a reason to change, a reason to care. her story is just about love, and about making people’s lives better

her alignment shifted from neutral to neutral good soon after. she never stopped being curious, sometimes to the point of foolishness, but she never squandered her teacher’s gift. she left the world better than she found it

#i just WEEP when i think about it sometimes #and then her teacher did just become the party's best wizard bud #we got his teleportation circle and then just showed up to his tower all the time #to hang out #we eventually got a dedicated guest room #my wizard shared all the spells she learned with him. including some dunamancy ones that she pieced together herself #he even fought a tarrasque with us #eventually she even passed him in level #and when he found out she could cast wish...he was SO PROUD #genuinely in the final arc getting an 'im proud of you' from this man was the best thing that had ever happened to me #and honestly i think his influence is why at the end of the campaign my wizard chose to die of old age #she had access to pretty much every necromantic secret in the world #given she did a LOT of necromancy research over the course of the campaign. plus her old cult did a lot of it so she was well versed #she could have found immortality in a hundred different ways #but instead she lived a good life. loved her friends #and passed on peacefully with her warforged friend by her side #so the point of all this is love IS the answer #her character arc felt so natural to me. i lived it for YEARS and one day i looked back and realized she had changed utterly #even though i hadn't once made the conscious choice for her to change #it was just love. from everyone around her #it was impossible for her to NOT change in the face of it all #AUGHGHGHGGGHH #oc: arabella

Tomo might be good with kiddos but they would also give them a sword if the opportunity presented itself. They truly can't see anything wrong about it and would absolutely offer to train them if asked.

#being taught how to wield a sword at such a young age saved their life a couple of times #so tomo cant rlly see why a 5 yrs old kid can't have one and be taught early on #i need to make a meta about it when i get back from my trip #but the concept of tomo going: 'ok kiddo. i think u r cool' -hands u a sword- is kinda hilarious #got a very rough childhood to think a kid should b given a sword for self defense #yes. they would in fact give their kiddos weapons and see no problem whatsoever. they gotta work on that (at least it isn't a gun....) #︾╼╼ █ █ ║˚ ▹ HEADCANONS.▕🗲 #this only applies in the genshin verse btw- #modern tomo is more sane about giving kiddos sharp objects 😭😭😭

"It's not like those two to fight...Wrenn has to understand that Yukaine probably kept from telling his family about his coronation to prevent Charidynn from being able to plan ahead for when he asks to take Wrenn, Lily, and Miss Allisae to Namodia."

"Wrenn had a point though. Miss Allisae wouldn't leave without all of her kids...it's wishful thinking for Yukaine to believe otherwise. But after all that time away, I'm sure he's been doing all he can to figure out the best way to see things through."

"...I just wish they wouldn't fight with each other like this. They both want the same thing, in the long run, even if they both have different ideas of how it needs to be done. Do you think we should check on them? Or...will they need space for a bit?"

"Maybe we should give them a minute...Yukaine will definitely need some time, and Wrenn would have come back out to get us if he wanted to talk. We can meet up with them again once the duels start."

#[Simni -threads-] #[Niesal -threads-] #[Zeqyabin -threads-] #[Qamis -threads-] #[Royalty verse] #Meanwhile I imagine #since they've been hanging around Wrenn for a lot of the party #they probably went with him when he confronted Yukaine and heard the whole thing #and they're worried! They'd definitely be closer with Wrenn than Yukaine #because that's who they grew up with and are closer in age to #but still! They care for Yuki too!! #Also side note: I'm not going digging through old stuff for their past life face claims #I'm just gonna use their regular verse ones asldfkan #...which means I should probably just go ahead and use their regular verse names too tbh

“Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you. I will sustain you and I will rescue you” (Isaiah 46:4).

God has said that he will carry our burdens. He will sustain us, throughout our lives. Not just when we are frightened children, but right through to our old age, He promises to sustain us, and to rescue us.

The word sustain means to give strength, and comfort, to encourage and nourish. This is what God does. We don’t have to face our troubles relying only on our own strength, because God is with us all of our days. His care doesn’t stop when we reach adulthood, we are not left to our own devices, His love and care and protection last throughout our lives. What a wonderful Saviour!

Prayer: Thank you Lord that you are a God who cares for me, my whole life. Thank You that You have promised to sustain me, all my days. Let me cast my cares on You, and trust You always. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
