Prosperity and Abundance - Dr. Catherine Ponder
“Tough times never last, tough people do.” Robert Schuller – 1926-2015 – American Televangelist Today’s Verse: “And his master saw that Jehovah was with him, and that Jehovah made all that he did to prosper in his hand. And Joseph found favor in his sight, and he ministered unto him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand.” Genesis 39:3-4 “Today’s…

angst? me? haha... 2.4k words of it actually c:
cw: slight sensory deprivation (blindfold/mention of going non-verbal)
Tumblr media
you still remember the first time it happened. how could you forget? the sheer panic and rapid thoughts racing through your mind when the itch in your throat had produced a single, golden ginkgo leaf from your tongue.
in the stages of grief, it states there are five. you beg to differ since you spent so long staring at the yellow leaf in your palm for so long your eyes felt irritated from the lack of blinking. you couldn't just deny that something was so very wrong when the evidence had come out of you.
you didn't feel anger either. confusion, fear, the deepest pit you've ever experienced in your gut? that's what you felt, but not anger. this was something that was bound to happen one day if you lived long enough to see it, so it shouldn't anger you anyway. still, that doesn't mean that that stage was skipped.
no, jing yuan felt it for you.
jing yuan hated yaoshi, the adundance. he loathes them from the deepest, darkest and most tainted part of his soul. the loathing he felt no doubt could even be felt by the continuously passed on entity of his Lightning-Lord. it was a sick twist of fate that he had been with you when you coughed up that leaf, stood so closely within your personal proximity when your life started ticking away from him.
jing yuan was not a loud man when it came to his negative emotions. he- in fact- made a bad habit of keeping most of them internalized and kept solely to himself. may haps he would tell you or yanqing that which would plague him to the point of bursting- but those rare moments only happened well away from the public eye of the luofu residents. no, jing yuan is a man who radiates anger like a brewing lighting storm devoid of rain and thunder. it's quiet and heavy and skin crawling.
you were younger than him, you still had time to enjoy your long life before having to worry about the effects of mara. you should've still had time to enjoy your long life beside him.
"y/n," his voice calling you is breathless as he moves swiftly to stand in front of you. he takes your wrist gently- you can feel his fingers tremble ever so slightly- and he brushes that yellow leaf onto the ground under his boot. "let me see," he says. finally registering back into reality, you lift your chin and he's immediately searching your face and eyes for any signs of... just something.
maybe he was looking for something that was invisible. a way to prove that what just happened before his very eyes was a trick of some sort- maybe a sick prank you'd be begging him to forgive you for later. or maybe he had already reached a state of dreary understanding and was searching for a timeline of how much time you have left.
"jing yuan," you softly call, and he flinches when he hears the drag of your voice that indicates your painful coughs from a moment ago. "it..." you take a deep breath, "it's going to be fine. let's just go to lady bailu and-"
"no," he quickly shoots down before his brain could think otherwise. his outburst startled you both, and if it weren't for such a dire situation, his wide eyes that quickly scrunched closed may have been cute in a way. "no, just- nevermind." he lets out a deep sigh. "we should go see the dragon lady, you're right. and i-" should contact the ten-lords commission. but he doesn't want to. if he does, then you'll be taken from him and imprisoned with every other marastruck xianzhou native they've taken under his order.
his hands that were wrapped around your wrists grow slack and you easily slip free from his grasp. dropping one hand, the other raises to brush back the wild, white treses that always cover his right eye.
"we'll start with lady bailu, okay?" he just nods, not able to formulate words anymore. he had a letter sent to the alchemy commission announcing his visit along with you for the following day, giving him some time to compose himself. a single day would do you no harm after all.
Tumblr media
"is there still nothing that can be done?" jing yuan knew the answer already. of course, there wasn't. there hadn't been for as long as he's been general- which was longer than most of his predecessors. the best 'solution' he had at this point was the small gourd gripped tightly in his fist. this had been his second time back to the alchemy commission, the first time had been with you but now he stands here alone.
"you know as well as i do," bailu's voice spoke as she stood in front of him with her hands on his hips, "this is the most advanced treatment i have. the alchemy commission is still no closer to finding a real cure, so please make do with this for now."
"i understand," there was no point in trying to converse longer. the longer he spent here the longer you waited for him back at home. he had contacted bailu with means on the downlow and had even attempted to keep who the afflicted person was if word did spread.
of course, that didn't work out like he wanted and just by his mannerisms alone, the young high elder knew it was you. she had never seen the luofu's general so disheveled before- normally able to keep a better lid on his emotions.
"you have my gratitude," he said before dismissing himself.
this small gourd could last a patient anywhere between a few days, a few weeks or at worst a few hours. your mara hasn't been active for long, just a day or two before jing yuan could get his hands on the elixir she uses for the marastruck soldiers she comes across.
"only administrator one ochoko of elixir a day! no matter how bad it gets, you cannot exceed that amount!" were bailu's specific instructions. he dares not go against them. at the very most he could stretch the treatment up to around 40 days if he was lucky.
and then there was the probability of you losing your mind quicker than he could treat you. so, he took another precaution.
when jing yuan returned back home, back to you, he had found you sitting on the wooden veranda surrounding the house. the breeze was something you always enjoyed. your head was angled up towards the sky, but you saw nothing behind the blindfold covering your eyes.
sensory deprivation. in cases of mara, cutting off senses of the body can slow the spread of it. surely with this and the dragon lady's elixir...
"y/n," he calls and you swivel your head towards his voice with a smile. one that was so innocent and warm he wished he could see your eyes.
"welcome back," you greet him as he pads softly over to you. running the pads of his finger across the skin just below your blindfold, his chest tightens. its not fair.
"i'm home." jing yuan is glad you cannot see his frown.
Tumblr media
the time it took for the alchemy commission to finally find out jing yuan had been seeking bailu's guidance for a marastruck xianzhou native was more than his pessimism expected, but less than his desired yearned. he was cornered at the seat of divine foresight, surrounded by alchemy commission enforcers and yanqing who had been privy to the secret considering he lived with the general and you.
the general sat at his desk, his fingers weaved together and propped up by his elbows. his forehead lowered and resting on the backs of his hands with his scrunched-up expression hidden under his white mane of hair that had been tied up messier than usual- if one could believe it with the nest of hair he normally had.
hearing the underlings of bailu chew his ears off, he could only catch a glance of yanqing at his side. arms locked at his sides with his fists clenched- jing yuan could only imagine the face he was making.
"y/n must be apprehended and relocated to the shackling prison, general. you're aware of this."
"all too well," he whispers to himself, but with the heavy quiet everyone can hear him. "yanqing," he calls without lifting his head.
"general?" the general had never heard the boy so soft spoken before. all his bravado seems to have shrunk.
"i will be contacting the ten lords commission," he swallows. "please make preperation for it."
"yes, general." the painful swallow in the young boy's voice was enough to tell jing yuan that he understood.
'go spend time with y/n before they're gone.' that was what jing yuan really said.
soon, jing yuan's office was clear of all guests and he finally lifted his head and leaned himself back in his chair. letting out a breath, he knew it was coming. you had been coughing up more leaves than he had expected and despite everything he tried, the affliction was ruthless.
it wasn't fair.
the next day, jing yuan had decided to do one finally task. for himself and for you. instead of waiting for the ten lords commission to come knocking at his doorstep, he was going to take one last final measure. even if it changes nothing and you're still taken away from him- perhaps it could extend your sanity just a little while longer. that alone would give jing yuan the smallest peace of mind.
your body had been getting weaker, and patches of yellow gingko shaped markings had spotted all over your body. jing yuan had to practically carry you all the way to the divination commission to meet with fu xuan.
"general," fu xuan's soft voice speaks as he undoes your blindfold but softly instructs that you keep your eyes closed for him. "are you sure you want to do this?"
"i've made my decision."
replacing your blindfold, the general places his palm across the span of your eyes. your hand reaches up to gently rest on his wrist and he can see the cursed yellow blotting you under your sleeves meant to keep it hidden. he grimaces.
"you're taking my memories... aren't you?" your voice had gone scratchy and distorted a few days ago, so you had refrained from speaking. another pointless suppression tactic.
"yes, my dear," he brings you down to your knees beneath the matrix that was ever turning. he kneels with you, keeping his hand over your eyes. "i am."
"yanqing?"
"he knows. i... i asked him not to come." he didn't want you to look that boy in the face and not know who he was. "after this, you'll be taken to the shackling prison." jing yuan closes his eyes and lets out a heavy breath. "i'm so sorry."
"i know." your gentle grasp on his wrist tightened and he wishes you'd rip off his gauntlet and embed your nails into his skin just so he'd have something left of you after the day's end. "it'll all be okay."
"no," he refutes, "it wont."
"general," fu xuan wistfully calls. "the ten lords commission will be coming shortly. if you're sure about this, then we must act quickly." the general nods, lifting off his knee to lean and push his forehead against yours one last time. his bangs still tickle your face, and his skin is warm. the way he smells of tea and the elixir you had been taking envelops you and you feel oddly at peace.
the next and last time jing yuan see's your eyes, they're stripped of everything he ever memorized about them. and you didn't recognize him.
the buzz about the general losing you was all hush, like a ripple that kept coming into contact with him. you were gone, taken away from him and all he wanted to do was find a way to get past it. get over it. accept it. but all the outside noise just kept reminding him about how much it hurt.
the buzz turned into murmurs, turned into static and as the days past public life returned to normalcy on the luofu. now, as welt, march and the trailblazer all walk around the divination commission they pass by a small jade plaque that had been placed there several years ago. it looked well-kept and there was a name inscribed on it.
"so, was this y/n person important or something?" march asks, unaware of the intensity that question could hold for some. fu xuan looks at the plaque that used to sit comfortably at the seat of divine foresight before it was moved.
"they were. a very important person who meant a lot to all of us on the luofu."
"did they...?" march's voice was sad, and welt tries to keep her from asking anything more. the plaque was obviously a memorial.
"they were stricken with mara a long time ago." fu xuan takes a deep breath and turns to the curious girl. "i'll be happy to answer any questions you have about them, but you must not bring the subject up to the general under any circumstances."
"the general? but why not?"
fu xuan's face falls and his lips curl over her teeth in a small frown that was biting back too many things she need not disclose to outsides ears.
"it would be pointless." was all she replies.
fu xuan looks longingly at the matrix and can picture the face of the general who had completely recovered from the loss of his partner. the general who will gaze out over his desk at the large star chess board in his office. the general who still entertains his young retainer in both combat training and chess games. the general who still had a bad habit of dozing off and slipping away from his seat and paperwork.
the general who doesn't remember he was ever in love to begin with.
Tumblr media
sometimes, the general of the xianziou luofu finds himself starting out into empty space. the words 'it isn't fair' repeating in his subconscious bring a pain to him. he doesn't know what they mean. what wasn't fair? all he can do to shake the feeling and words is resume meditating.
jing yuan didn't know why he meditated. but he did know that he didn't want to remember why it hurts.

OK, the new Helluva Episode, Oops. Lots of people are talking about its writing flaws (which are very clear and overwhelmingly adundant), but one thing that makes all of them worse is the technical execution in the pacing/staging of the whole episode. Nothing is really given time to impact the audience, to give them a sense of whatever depth Viv is trying to give her characters, or to just give the guys some room to fucking breathe.
There is a key animation principle called staging, just making sure everything has its right time and is clear to the audience, and I really wonder if everyone on the team just forgot about it. I'm not even talking about pacing/editing cuts (though that's atrocious too), just animation segments that would be better if other characters/motions were staggered or made smaller to better direct the viewer's attention to what the SpindleHorse crew wants you to see.
I get they want chaotic fights and all, but too much chaos just becomes noise... The writing flaws become a whole lot worse when the staging and general pacing between cuts is so, so, so rushed. Staging and pacing is really important if you're trying to get a film to make the audience feel something. If you want an audience to empathize with your bad characters, pick up the mood, or just keep track of what's happening on screen, you need to pace your shit well, which this episode simply fails to do.
Did they really need the episode to be 27 minutes long, on the dot? Could they not have let anyone rest for one fucking minute?!

Critique is most valuable when an artist ASKS for it. You didn't ask, and people are acting like you're ungrateful.
I get not being into something, especially a fan work. But sometimes you have to look at something and ask what it's SUPPOSED to be before giving someone advice about it.
Is this supposed to be a structured series of AU comics, or whatever that first anon wanted? No? Then telling you to MAKE it that wouldn't even be a helpful criticism. People really forget fan work and social media in general can be for FUN.
I like your AUs btw, I'm just mad at the poor critique etiquette from some of the anons you got.
It is very strange lol
I can see where they come from, i have an adundance of AU's that i seemingly make zero content for.
But the issue with that is- I do.
Some of them are strictly story driven, making comis doesnt feed into it the right way a comic does, and sometimes its the opposite.
I could try to make a fully fledged out FT Fic but nothing can compare to how i draw it out.
But this is the the opposite for something like the Genderfluid AU. Sure you can get pictures of how they all look, but nothing can compare to the raw feeling i put out when writing it instead.
Not to mention, this all takes a lot of time XD
I aint no professional, im an amatuer artist and writer that was strictly self taught. I cant churn out 4 clean coherent comics in a day, nor can i spit out weekly fic updates at the same time.
I do this for fun, and im so greatful for the traction that I do get.
And heres the thing, i dont mind criticism even if i dont ask for it.
*Your Posing looks a bit off* *Hey this part was too fast paced* *I think you need to rephrase this.*
Are all very valid criticisms imo. But to look me in my eye and say that the AU's i make and create shouldn't be made because their isnt enough content, isnt a criticism. Its a demand.
I aint no pack mule Or working cow.
Saying "Oh i wish there was more for this AU* is vastly better than "None of your au's have ckntent, why do you make more."
The content i churn out is all inspiration based. Sometimes i have a fully fledged out script for a comic and sometimes i just wing it cause im in a certain mood.
I cant speak for everyone, but im sure its this way for many creators As well.
But thank you for sticking around and liking my au's :3 i really appreciate it!

224: Hedge & Donna Capers // Special Circumstances
Tumblr media
Special Circumstances Hedge & Donna Capers 1970, Capitol
I recently found this record on the street in Portland, Maine and I have to admit to rescuing it purely because I’d never seen a mixed-race ‘60s folk duo before. Special Circumstances is a lot better than I’d expected from a discarded folk-pop record—one mafia-related disappearance or Glenn Frey connection away from a Light in the Attic reissue, say. (We do get Bernie Leadon playing a bit of dobro, which is in the vicinity.) The husband-and-wife duo of Keene Hedges Capers and Donna Capers (née Carson) harmonize as smoothly as you could wish, and the instrumental credits are littered with session studs, including Flying Burrito Brother and pedal steel legend Sneaky Pete Kleinow and Carole Kaye on bass. Janis Ian also drops in to lend piano to Hedge & Donna’s rendition of her treacly number “He’s a Rainbow.”
youtube
The pop-leaning tunes (like “Rainbow” and “Sunshine”) aren’t the best use of anyone’s talents but they’re not especially grating,  and the album’s late pivot to gospel is more pleasant than enervating, but Special Circumstances punches its ticket with a run of sublime ballads on the a-side. Most of these songs are Capers originals, but their quality is really a testament to the pros who can make even pedestrian songwriting sound like the relieving warmth that radiates from a good stretch. On “Becoming” the players cup Hedge and Donna’s close harmonies and spiritual sweet nothings like a flower holding a pair of drowsing field mice. The soul jazz-tinted medley that follows (“Higher Country / Uhuru / Adunde”) is more ambitious, Donna’s lead vocal landing somewhere between Sandy Denny and Miriam Makeba as the mystical, minor key “Higher Country” dissolves into a series of African chants. The lazy stream from the title track to “Strawberry Malt” features some of the prettiest country-folk backing you’ll hear on any record from 1970. I’d happily stick these four songs up against nearly anything I’ve heard from the recent glut of b- and c-tier folk reissues.
Overall, Special Circumstances gets a pass from me for its becoming lack of overt commercial ambitions, and the easy craftsmanship nearly every part of it displays. It’s not perfect, but to my surprise it’s managed to grab my ear despite coming home amid a pile of records I actually paid for, even if I’ll probably seldom play the second side again.

hello, idk if this sent before i think i did it as anon before but may i please have a love reading? there is already someone i have in mind and i would just like to get to know a bit more about the situation. happy spooky season and thank you!! :)
Hello!
Thank you for the reblog and the request! ♡
Cards: Wheel of Fortune, Three of Swords, Judgment (reversed), The Hanged Man (reversed), The Hermit (reversed), Nine of Swords, The Devil (reversed), Seven of Coins, Ten of Cups
Messages: 'How can you be supportive?' 'Your dreams need a practical plan' 'Invest in this connection' 'A time to give rather than take' 'There will be sustainable results' 'Let them heal' 'Who lights you up?'
Details about your future spouse:
Appearance: Mouth is the most noticable, very facially expressive, you can always tell how they're feeling, bright eyes, delicate features, friendly smile, tall and slender, graceful arms & legs, animated story teller, use their hands when they talk, shake their legs when theyre nervous. Traits: Commited, responsible, strict, good boundaries, structured, diciplined, ambitious, controlled, traditional, wise, a good teacher, patient, stable, reliable, persevering, diligent, focused, stern, stingy, selfish, hardworker.
The situation with your person in mind:
This person might have just got out of a karmic connection. They are going through a time of grief and healing. This could be a breakup or a toxic friendship they had that they cut ties with. They have a lot of negative feelings towards themselves and are very self critical. It's not that they haven't considered you as a romantic partner, they're just not thinking about getting into a relationship right now. They don't feel emotionally or mentally ready for a new commitment. They are currently stagnent in their love life because they're still dealing with the effects from their last connection. Things like lonliness, withdrawal, isolation, anxiety, depression and perhaps even nightmares.
I hope you found this reading helpful to you and I wish you all the luck and adundance in your love life!
Sincerely,
Cassy the friendly ghost ♡

Potentially Disastrous Ship Question: Jess x Ysayle
Oh this would be good.
They actually bonded really quickly during their travels in HW, they have a ton in common, including the devotion and drive to do what they believe is best and the desire to make the world a better place. And we see Ysayle has a soft side as well and loves the little things in life, and just has an adundance of love in her heart at that, something Jess would be so drawn to.
And she's friends with dragons. Jess fucking loves dragons (ironic as a dragoon I know).
If Ysayle had made it out of HW she and Jess absolutely would have been close friends, so removing Varrus from the picture makes it easy for them to take that step further.
