Thoughts about orcs and their culture? I talked with friends lately about how the Shuro/Laios fight, occurring not that long after Leed/Chilchuck conversation, only strengthens one of big themes of DunMeshi (closely related to the depiction of autistic experience): that direct communication is best communication. And I noticed that orcs seem to be culturally most straightforward of the races: they say things as they see them, value loyalty and look down upon deception. While Zon held a lot of prejudice against elves and tallmen, he ultimately appreciated Marcille's and Laios' attitudes and sincerity. And Leed read between the lines of what Chilchuck was telling her, only to call him out on not admitting that he cares for his friends. I'm curious if you share similar observations and/or have more thoughts on that :)

Ooh That's true! I hadn't noticed!

I didn't realize but here Zon seems to respect that Laios was honest and straight forward, besides the meal they had together and Marcille not backing down probably warmed him up to them.

They also seem way kinder than people in universe give them credit for considering this extra from the adventurers bible

They took Senshi in and were even willing to treat him like one of the kids outside the hierarchy for a long time. Senshi's line of "So I decided to leave while we'd all be sorry to say good-bye." is really cute too. Plus he has known Zon since he was a kid, I think that's why he was so relaxed and not worried when they were captured, he knows this kid.

I agree with you! They really seem to be honest and straight forward, and Chilchuck got what you get for trying to be tsundere in front of an orc.

It is not a secret about me that one of the things I like to do is read stories in the Bible and get sad about it. That's like, that's been a pastime of mine since I was a child. Let me find the story that really makes me feel sad for the person in the story who I can't help because one, they've been dead for years if they ever existed in the first place. And two, if you're reading a story to try and help the people in the story, then you have approached the whole thing from the wrong end. Because you can't, that's the thing you cannot really do except to choose your own adventure books. And the Bible is not one of those. So one of the best stories to read if you like to read the Bible and make yourself feel sad for the people in it is the story of The Last Supper. Jesus Christ gets a bunch of his friends together, right? And then let's take the Jesus part off just as a person. You get a bunch of your friends together, right? And you have dinner, this big old dinner, you know, some bread and whatever, some wine and it's cool to be with your friends. It's fun, it's a good feeling, you know. And then you just get a vibe, there's a very, very, very specific vibe that you get. Right. And these are your friends so you can speak your mind around them. You can tell them how you feel and you say, you know, one of you is gonna sell me out. I just know it. You've - you've had some wine at this point. So you know, you can say that. Your friends will not judge you for speaking what's in your heart at this moment, and some of them are also, they've had a couple of glasses of wine themselves. They immediately go God, no, you are my friend. I would never, I would never, man. I want you to know person to person tonight. I will never sell you out. You, we've meant a lot to each other over the past couple of years and I will not sell you out man. And Jesus is like, OK, it's all good, you know, and they all do this. And one of 'em doesn't say shit. And he knows and he knows they both know and the one who's gonna do it feels worse than the one who's gonna suffer for it. Because he sort of knows I'm gonna do this thing. I guess I am. I don't want to. These are my friends, they're all gonna hate me. And in one version of the four gospels, Judas, uh, having sold Christ out, who normally then gets arrested and murdered by the state. Right? Um, in one version of the gospel Judas immediately goes and hangs himself. I've always - when I was a child I was like, oh, man. I mean, I understand that it'd probably be a tough one to live down in Jerusalem if you're the guy who killed Jesus. But, I mean, you know, that seems like kind of an extreme. This song is called cry for Judas.

[britcision]

I dunno if I touched on this already but I am Obsessed so you’re stuck with it

Just

Idk the Adventurer’s Bible calls it “cruel” that Mithrun told Thistle that Delgal wanted him dead in the end, but… it just doesn’t read that way to me

No one questions that Laios and co didn’t want to start a fight and just wanted to talk, but I feel like Mithrun was coming from a pretty similar place

He gives every prospective dungeon lord a chance, speaks to them more readily than anyone else, and always offers them a chance to back down despite clearly believing they won’t take it

And I mean I can’t 1000% cite it so I might be wrong, but… I think it’s also the only time he openly empathizes? He’s more emotive, with more facial expressions, but I can’t really think of another time he openly talks about what other people want

He’ll drop all his own trauma without batting an eye, but with Thistle and then with Marcille he tries to work out what their motivations are, what they want to wish for, and use his own experiences to warn them it can’t work and they won’t actually get it

It’s kinda cursory, but much less than Lycion asking Laios to give up on Marcille; he’s seeking a connection to spare them his fate, and while seeing Thistle catatonic doesn’t noticeably phase him, he’s pretty disinterested in the dungeon lords when you compare it to his reaction to the winged lion

(Full feral, 30 seconds flat, not a word before it’s peanut butter murder time)

The dungeon lords are ostensibly natural enemies as much as the demon is, and all the other Canaries are pretty focused on eliminating the dungeon lord as the first priority, and I dunno if any of the rest would even bother asking them to stand down

Lycion sure as hell doesn’t bother trying to justify to Laios why he shouldn’t go side with Marcille; he just asks him to abandon his friend, no, entirely expected, and he’s pretty clearly just humouring Kabru

Officially, they have to kill the dungeon lord to get a shot at the demon, and with a direct shot Mithrun loses his shit

But either dungeon lord alone? He doesn’t even try to seriously hurt them until he’s made the offer, he gets them temporarily incapacitated at best and he’s perfectly happy to let Laios free Marcille if he thinks he has even a vague shot at it

And sure, it might all be calculated to throw them off their game, to find weaknesses and rattle them before the fighting starts, but then why would he agree to let Laios help her stop being a dungeon lord without a fight?

The other captains sure as hell aren’t buying in, but Mithrun signs off without question, and it also might be that he just doesn’t care about the dungeon lords; any way he can get to the demon works

But he could have killed Marcille instead of trying to restrain or search her

He’s a fucking madlad, the time he used tackling her and starting the pat down could have begin with cape-decapitation to solve the problem before it occurred

He could have sent the plank into Thistle’s chest, not his arm to make him drop the book - that’s even a bigger target

They’re the Canaries. They already heard Laios say he wanted to be the dungeon lord. If they’d tpk’d the entire party there, it’d have been their job description, and we only got a dramatic final showdown because he gave Marcille a chance to just hand the books over… or let him take them

(Bet Pattadol and Lycion regretted pulling him off her, optics be damned, for at least a couple hours there)

Idk I just think it’s interesting that despite being the character with no wants or opinions on most things… he really does try to save the dungeon lords, and his squad follow his lead until they can’t even in his absence

(Talking to Laios and Chilchuck even after he’s fucked off, giving Laios even a cursory chance to quit)

It just… doesn’t add up that he told Thistle what Delgal wanted to be cruel, not on top of everything else

It wasn’t fucking tactful, but it was true, and if Thistle had believed him and realized that what he was doing was pointless…

That woulda been the fight. Wrap on Dungeon Lord Thistle, just a hop down for the other book, the status quo is mostly intact but the Island is saved

I don’t think it’s necessarily cruel to not want to kill someone

(But then the Golden Country woulda had to deal with King Mithrun Who 10000% Is Leaving To Find Another Demon Murder Opportunity, so like it was never an option narratively… which makes it all the more interesting that he tried)

[room-surprise]

Hi, hope it's ok to ask some stuff about your thoughts on mithrun (not sure if it got asked before). But do you think mithrun and his brother might've had a good relationship the beginning? Like when they were really young, maybe even before mithrun noticed the different treatment his parents did to him and his brother. Also do you think that the former mithrun was really in love with that elf? Cause after reading mithrun's part in the adventure bible I'm starting to have a few doubts, esp since that chibi look a like of the elf in question is being described as untrustworthy. Like maybe former mithrun was only into them cause his older brother also seemed to fancy them?

It's always fine to ask me stuff! Though I might not always have time to answer, I love seeing people's questions!!!

I don't know if you've read any of my fics, but I do go into what I think Mithrun and his brother's relationship was like as children in both "Show Me How to Get Off the Ground" (College AU) in chapter 2, and the short fic "A (Fairy) Phone Call Between Brothers."

In summary: I think when they were very young, Mithrun didn't realize that there was something "wrong" with his brother. He was just his best friend, his playmate, they spent all their time together and so of course they were very close. Just the two of them living on a big country estate, while a plague raged through the population - not a lot of chances for play-dates with children outside of their family.

Once Mithrun was old enough to get sent away to boarding school (so around 50 years old - 10 in human terms) he quickly realized that being like his brother (disabled) meant being cast aside and discarded... So he started to put distance between them, and the older they got the colder Mithrun was towards his brother.

I think that Mithrun felt guilty and ashamed for abandoning his brother (similar to how Laios felt guilty for abandoning Falin)... and the fact that his brother kept acting like they were loving siblings made the guilt even worse, and turned it into anger and resentment.

As for the mysterious elf (gender unknown) that Mithrun and his brother were both interested in... No, I don't think Mithrun ever truly loved them. Like you said, Mithrun thought that the snake spouse elf wasn't trustworthy, so I assume that means he thought they were a gold digger. Somebody that was only interested in Mithrun and his brother because their family is very wealthy.

I think Mithrun ignored his own desires (wanting to date, or have sex with the snake spouse) because he thought they were a bad match, that his parents wouldn't approve, or that they were dangerous to his social status...

So when the magic mirror showed him his brother happy with the snake spouse, Mithrun was overwhelmed with jealousy and regret. He worries about if he misjudged the snake spouse. What if they were actually wonderful, and now Mithrun has missed out on the love of his life because he thought he was too good for them? And now his brother has them instead?

I think Mithrun's story is complicated, and Kui tends to suggest things rather than explicitly tell us what happened, so there's a lot of things to speculate about, and different ways you could read it all.

Thanks for writing to me and asking! It was fun to answer <3

Different Paul Dano Charcters as Dads

In honor of Fathers Day I decided to write different Paul Dano characters as dads (in my opinion lol) some of these characters I have not seen yet soooo they will have a ✨ next to them. Let me know if I was even close lol

💜Edward Nashton: Eddie would be excited and scared to have a child. He didn’t have parents and had a bad childhood. He would be scared about being a bad dad. Eddie would be excited because he can give his child the best life one he wished he had. He would finally have a family 🥺 would be the dad that comes and sits on his child's bed randomly “So what are you up to?” and they just roll their eyes at him. 

💜Joby Taylor: what do you think 🙄

💜Brian Wilson:  After leaving his current label and having a family. Brian would be so happy! His first family failed because he was forced to stay away from them. So when he gets a second chance to be a father he would do his best. Teaching his child how to play instruments, lets them sit in the studio while recording, and allows them help write songs. He shows his child how to be passionate and love something fully. Brain would be a fun, patient, and involved father.

💜Tim Klitz: Whenever he doesn't know how to do something he calls Eli (who also does not know but likes to think he does). Klitz worries about his child when they start going to school he doesn't want them to be bullied but he also doesn't want them to be popular. He always helps his child with homework and at nights he reads them to sleep.

💜Brian Weathersby:  He has been waiting his entire life to be a dad. It is his dream! Brian would read parenting books, and blogs and take classes to be the best dad. He would be a very doting dad who would attend every event, support any hobby they have, a goodnight hug every night. He is always there for his child and is a super proud dad with everything his child does and will tell everyone about it. Definitely has multiple pictures on his desk.

✨ Hank Thompson: He would name them Manny and tells them all about his prior ‘adventures’. Not the most responsible dad definitely more of a friend than a parent. Definitely needs therapy before having a kid. 

💜Jay: He will try to raise a mini me. Jay will really emphasize his child's education and expects them to excel and be the top of their class. Disowns them if they drink milk.

✨ Percy Dolarhyde: Would try to sell them or money and blames them for his crimes so he doesn't have to go to jail. 

✨  Calvin Weir-Fields: Tries to write them away when they talk back to him and when he cant he verbally abuses them.

💜 Eli Sunday: Preacher dad! Would have his child attend church every Sunday and welcome the guest inside. They are named after someone from the Bible. Anytime his child talks back or misbehaves he would claim it was the devil taking them over. (That child's religious trauma will be great)

💜 Louis Ives: His child would say hi to people and wave and Louis would too and then lean towards hid kid “Please stop talking to people”

✨ Matt Freeman: I think he’s too young

This wasn't a very serious work it was meant to be short and fun so I hope you liked it! Which Dano Dad do you want?

I wasn't one of those evangelical kids who got caught up in the emotions of the camp devotionals. I never really cared about the rapture, or death in general. Much less eternal life. The reason I stuck around all the way through college was because I trusted the family and friends who taught me all the bible stuff. They always told me not to trust them, so that one's on me.

They always said, "Don't take my word for it, read the scripture! Do your own studying!" I said to myself, "yeah yeah, cool. In theory. I can't read aramaic or ancient greek though, and I don't really want to spend years in school learning that. It's much more practical to have all these people I know I can trust because they're such good people who clearly have my best interests at heart."

Then I went to a bible college. For an art degree, but they still made me take a bible class every semester. Between meeting esteemed bible scholars and historians in universities on the other side of the world who did know ancient greek aaaaaaand becoming distanced from my old communities, I finally did what they'd always told me to do: I did my own studying. I never learned much ancient greek but learning how to do academic research helped a lot.

Wouldn'tchaknowit—my findings vastly expanded my knowledge from what I'd been taught as a kid. At that point in my early 20's I didn't feel betrayed. What I thought I'd discovered were earnest mistakes! An honest lack of understanding from folks who hadn't had the privilege of traveling and studying the way I had. I was happy to bring what I'd learned back home to them, and embark on new adventures in learning together.

Only one... little... problem. Turns out none of them wanted that.

They didn't want to hear about the fascinating history of biblical mistranslations or cultural analysis of American evangelicalism and how it relates to feminism. They didn't want to learn about the history of other world religions like Buddhism and the interesting parallels with Abrahamic religions. They didn't want to believe queer people aren't explicitly condemned by scripture or that the 2000 year old book they worship might not actually contain a fail-safe blueprint for life in the 21st century. They didn't want think about how much of the bible might've been tacked on by scholars & kings who used it as a tool for social control. I still believed in god and called myself a Christian at this point, after all that. I lost my faith in the people first. I opened my eyes and saw it all. I saw too much.

Any time I tried to share what I'd learned or gently push back against their teachings their condemnation was immediate and absolute. It quickly became clear that what 'studying scripture' meant to them was only ever, "we'll tell you what it means, and you'll believe us." Any deviation from their 'interpretation'—now plainly revealed to me as patriarchal 1950's American traditionalism dressed up in middle eastern farmer's robes and doing a VBS play production of an ancient culture they knew frighteningly little about—only branded me as a disrespectful dissident. I also saw Christians I'd respected doing all manner of dishonorable things. A missionary who'd once nearly convinced me to work with him in South America sent me a horrifically islamophobic manifesto. Church elders admitted to me that they owned city slums. Outwardly perfect couples filed for divorce. Bit by bit it wore down my trust. It broke the illusion that Christianity offered any kind of exclusive merit or made anybody better somehow. I started to realize they were all just as flawed and fallible as any 'sinner' off the street. Of course they were all quick to say 'we have all fallen short of the grace of God!'—but what's the point, then? These people I'd trusted with my soul were quick to admit that they shouldn't be trusted... then turn around and insist that they still knew what was best for me and my life.

Over the next few years it got to the point that they as good as told me to my face that the only way I could keep being part of their community was if I shut up and conformed to exactly what they believed. I almost could've put up with it except that that tacitly included being good christian wife with 2.5 kids who votes republican, lives in the suburbs, and goes to Wednesday night bible study to listen to some local septuagenarian who never set foot in seminary school teach me a moral lesson from the same damn book every week.

Like hell.

It became painfully clear they'd never truly cared about what was good for me or what would actually make me happy. Once I realized the horrible truth of my situation I only stuck around so long because I didn't want to rock the boat. I always liked the singing, and the sexist jokes from the pulpit were a decent conversation starter for whenever I wanted to try another assault on the fortress of my parents' ignorance. One day during Sunday morning song service my dad saw me reading a book in my lap. He leaned over and angrily said, "If you're only here for me, don't bother." So I stood up and walked out.

Never been back.

God and I were always chill, from the start to the end. We get into some heated moral arguments and sometimes we debate whether gods even exist, but what else are gods for? It's the worshipers who worry me.

#I said peace out #imma go #ex evangelical #I'm sure I've told this story before #but it's on my mind again #personal problems #save me from my family #no contact #evangelical christianity

[awkwardcontent]

I saw your tag about asking about Air Bud, I vaguely know the plot but have never seen it so here's an ask for you to info dump about it

Did you know that there are 14 movies in the Air Bud Cinematic Universe? I've watched them all and I'm gonna spout off a bunch of random stuff about the series. If you want more info on any of this you have to DM me 🤪

So the first five movies are the "Air Bud" series, which follows Buddy playing various sports

Air Bud 🏀

Air Bud: Golden Receiver 🏈

Air Bud: World Pup ⚽

Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch ⚾

Air Bud: Spikes Back 🏐

Interestingly, Buddy was an actual trained dog who could "play" a few sports. In fact, the first two films don't use any sort of sneaky camera tricks for the sports scenes. The dogs on camera are actually just doing that. Although the original Buddy only appears in the first film (He passed away from cancer shortly afterwards)

The production company also kinda screwed over Buddy's owner Kevin DiCicco, who wasn't involved in any of the sequels aside from being credited as the creator of the character Air Bud.

One thing I will say about the original series is that personally I think the justification for Buddy playing on the team in the first movie makes more sense than we give it credit for. He's a registered member of the team because he's the mascot. So they sub him in. You could almost be fooled into thinking that's reasonable.

If you ever have a "bad movie" day with friends I highly recommend the 4th movie where he plays baseball. Because it has the best villain plot of any of them, where the villain is trying to extract Buddy's genome to isolate the gene that makes him good at sports so he can sell it to athletes as a super steroid. Also the actor who plays the villain is the same actor who plays the referee in the previous three movies which adds a fun sinister undertone to their re-use of an actor.

After the "Air Bud" series they started making the "Air Buddies" movies

Air Buddies

Snow Buddies

Space Buddies

Santa Buddies¹

Spooky Buddies

Treasure Buddies

Super Buddies

This is where we get into the weirder aspects of the universe. First of all we are now following Buddy's children instead of Buddy himself. Buddy the character is seen for the last time in Snow Buddies. Also we're now doing talking animals. (Although the animals can't talk to humans (except with the use of christmas magic))

Things that are made canon in these films include (but are not limited to):

Hell 🔥 - Although they call it a dimension filled with ghosts. From which a warlock summons the "Halloween Hound", a pretty obvious stand in for a hell hound. (Also for some reason the warlock can't touch consecrated ground and also is hurt by a bible, so I guess becoming a warlock means you have to follow vampire rules now)

Magic 🧙‍♂️ - As mentioned above, there's a warlock doing dark magic. But there's also two additional magic systems. Christmas magic, which requires joy stored in the magical christmas icicle. And what I can only describe as "Egyptian magic". Cleopatra's pet cat (Cleo-cat-ra) had a magic necklace, although the only notable power we see it have is to make cats "man's best friend" instead of dogs

Aliens 👽 - An alien crashed down on earth and the first creature he met was a dog so he tried to disguise himself as an earthling by turning into a dog and then he had to be a dog now. But he's a dog with super powers because of course he is. Also a second eviler species of alien that does body snatching instead.

Honestly these movies are pretty standard straight to video schlock. I think Super Buddies is the most fun out of them all, just for being kind of stupid. Space Buddies is pretty good for the same reason. Treasure Buddies was the most boring movie in my entire adventure through all of these.

Simultaneous to the latter Buddies movies, Santa Buddies also managed to spin off into two additional "Santa Paws" movies

The Search for Santa Paws

Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups

I honestly think these are some of the more watchable of the later movies. You know what you're getting with a cheesy christmas movie. (I've never actually celebrated christmas but I have a slight soft spot for the aesthetics of a cheesy christmas movie)

Notable in this series we get shown more about what "Christmas Magic" can do. Including creating sentient life? Like Santa just straight up brings a toy dog to life? And because we're in a talking animals universe that's just a full on sapient intelligence. I'm pretty sure that makes Santa some form of god.

¹ Santa Buddies also raises a possible extended extended universe. Among the characters in Santa Buddies is a Scottish Terrier named "Tiny" voiced by Kaitlyn Maher. Another film series by the production company "Pup Stars" also features a Scottish Terrier named "Tiny" voiced by Kaitlyn Maher.

#This is an extremely cut down version of what I've come to call #The Air Bud Rant #I've been meaning to make like... #A full on video essay talking about the series #Because this was my choice of weird covid binge watch #But idk I've been trying to figure out some sort of thesis or throughline for talking about them #Because I don't wanna just make a 7 hour video where I summarise the plots of each movie

[atlasllm]

I know you're blog title is probably exaggerating, but I wanna know exactly what moments and what about them made you cry. Hold nothing back. I'm willing to read a Bible's worth of this stuff. I love hearing about how people emotionally connect to pieces of fiction in a positive way, especially if it's something near and dear to me like Sonic.

nope i am not exaggerating in the slightest lol, i've kept count for the past year

That being said, I don't remember ALL of each moments that made me cry, but I answered a similar question a year ago (back then the count was only 6 times)

I cried because Sonic reminds me of a very obscure comfort character of mine and one of the 2 people I talk to who know about this character confirm that he is exactly like him, which hits deep because they both are optimistic punk guitarists who would definitely fit My Chemical Romance's "Danger Days" album due to their life philosophies

I made a new friend recently One of my friends has been a Sonic fan longer than I've been alive, and since I got into Sonic post-Forces they said that they were glad the first game I can experience be released is Sonic Frontiers because of how massively amazing it is in comparison to how the franchise has been for the past decade

Catching up with a friend since they're working and I'm in college and they allowed me to infodump on Discord call about Sonic Frontiers... I forget WHY exactly it made me cry at the moment but like, god this game was so good and I was only WATCHING gameplay

I think more recent ones I remember have been:

Outright crying because it took me so many hours to finally beat the Master King Koco Trial (I have video of this but I don't think I'm ready to use vids of me crying for internet clout yet LMAO)

Hearing I'm Here (Revisited) for the first time and hearing the instrumental + Kellin Quinn's vocals as Eggman aims the rifle, seeing Sonic grow so powerful he defeats The End in one shot, floats through space unconscious, and lands back down onto the planet okay and finally able to be with his friends again

I'm not 100% sure about these ones, but I guarantee-ish moments I have cried were:

Watching Penny "Snapcube" Parker play Sonic Frontiers (like I've said, this is the first Sonic game I've actively followed coming out + would have just watched let's plays before realizing it looked so fun to play that I wanted it for Christmas) and her playing the entire Chaos Island storyline where Sonic admits Tails is basically his little brother and he'll miss him when he goes out on his own adventure

Sage's sacrifice + hearing Dear Father

That shot in the original ending (Penny played Hard Mode so it was getting me antsy enough to see what the ending would be after the bullet hell section) where it's just Sonic flying through the air like a shooting star; the shot of Sonic being a literal star coupled with the specific part of I'm With You that plays just looked so incredibly beautiful

While once again I'm not sure if I can name specific moments, but Sonic Frontiers is genuinely one of the best experiences I've had. For the longest time I've only played free-to-play MMOs like Wizard101 and Toontown (and also Minecraft Bedrock edition), and while I have yet to catch up to Wizard101, I've never really gotten attatched to triple A games.

Watching Penny play Sonic Frontiers, after ages of hearing that "oh this old Sonic game is the best" "eugh these past few Sonic games are terrible" and seeing a human just genuinely enjoy this fresh new game, especially as the first Sonic game that I as a newer fan was seeing experience in real time, just filled me with so much joy. Seeing each update come out to make it better and better, and seeing Frontiers completely blow itself out of the water and put Sonic on-par with other triple A games instead of being seen as a joke 24/7, it made the experience of Sonic Frontiers being my first real Sonic game so much more sweeter. And heck, it's incredibly accessible! Wizard101 is basically a card game simulator and even I with a keyboard was able to 100% it, play hard mode, and complete the DLC!

I think that in itself, seeing Frontiers as my first Sonic game and seeing how good it is, just makes the entire experience really emotional for me. How so many of my friends who've been fans longer than me are excited I get to experience the same joy they felt when they first became Sonic fans. It's like seeing an old friend that you haven't seen for a long time mixed with the sheer joy of waking up on Christmas morning during your childhood.

I have a lot of feelings about this game ;w;

EDIT: OH OH that part where Sonic grabs the giant sword and slashes Knight in half coupled with the ending of Find Your Flame 100% made me cry too

P.S.: Sorry for your current struggle!

P.P.S.: I hope my questions about the ghosts did not make you more uncomfortable!

P.P.P.S.: I hope these are not too many questions for you but I figured since you asked for distractions, more would be merrier. :-)

Goooooooooooooooooooooood times to you too!

Most favorite activity?

i really enjoy drawing i love makin up characters n stories also!

4.Kind of meal you really appreciate?

honest to goodness i appreciate almost anything someone feeds me especially if its home-cooked but i really do love breakfast foods potatoes n cheese best.

13. A job you can't do yourself but admire people who do?

oh there is a LOT dentists, plumbers, trash collectors, house keepers, teachers, pharmacists there are some very skilled and wonderful people who do a lot for our community

15.Do you believe in ghosts? and 16 If so, how do you imagine them? If not, is it just because you don't want to make contact with them?

i love the idea of ghosts i like the idea of there being some kind of after life so that i can be with the people I've lost again and so i can watch after and not be far from the people i love who are living.

I like to think ghosts just are here waiting and watching able to go where ever they'd like because they don't need to breath or worry about catching on fire or something to just enjoy the afterlife with their friends n family, explore, learn from mistakes they made in life, fix relationships (also i want to go to the bottom of the ocean so bad)

but i don't really believe in them, i want them to be real but i cant help but feel like if ghosts are real then why are there so many crimes against the dead unsolved and why is there no justice for millions of people? I feel like my passed family would find ways to yell at me from the grave for my many flaws and sins (p.s.dont worry friend thank you for caring)

22. Movie you can't stop cheering up for?

alright friend ima introduce you to my most favorite movie it's called Journey to Beginning of Time by Karel Zeman my grandad had the VHS and i have LOVED it since i was three years old.

I WISH TO GOD i could find it on dvd in the shitty english dub i grew up with SO MUCH i watched that VHS so much it died im pretty certain i had a crush on the youngest boy played by Vladimir Bejval his character caught a fish.. its a great movie if you get the chance to watch it but it's also like made in like the 50s so uuuuuuh keep that in mind but for the time it was made the special effects were brilliant. it makes me happy its like a warm bowl of soup but in film.

i really prefer skirts over dresses spef at knee length and i prefer no sleeves or short sleeves with just a sweater if it gets chilly. i like feelin fancy and cutesy.

77.Can you imagine something pretty romantic you would like your/a partner to do for you?

honest the most romantic thing i think someone can do is just to be there for each other that you want to experience life together even when life is incredibly shitty and not ideal at the moment but sticking through it with them anyhow because you want to experience life with them whem it's good or bad, being there the day their parents die, not ditching them if they lose their job being their cheerleader if they get cancer...just kinda knowin your a team that you've got their back n them your's and that you'll build a life together that makes you both happy through it all idk just bein there n lettin me be there for em in return? but idk im kinda shit at the romance tbh uuuuhhhh i appreciate it when someone sets time aside for me that means a lot to me more then they'll probably ever know

79.Is it risky to ask you whether you are a honest person or not?

Hero's Journal Side Quest Decks: Little Adventures In Everyday Life

73 years. That is the average length of a person's lifespan according to statistics provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) back in 2019. However, a third of those years are given to the necessity of sleep. Ergo, we really have a total of 49 years to experience life.

If you think about it, that is not very long at all. As a matter of fact, those years can be a vapor (vanity in the NKJV of the Holy Bible) depending on how we live. I think Vimal Kaushik - content writer and copy writer/technical writer/social media specialist who has written articles for LinkedIn - describes it best in his article between living and existing:

Living truly means the present, which is now. The power of now is the master of all times.

Existing, on the other hand, means a life devoid of any control and options in it.

This doesn't mean that life is all wine and roses nor is it all pain and suffering. Instead, it is being thankful for the blessings and accepting and engaging of the lessons from said wine and roses or pain and suffering. Ergo, you either live life by accepting and appreciating the past, engaging in the present, and progressing into the future... or you're just "there" in "whatever."

In the United States or any 1st world country for that matter, I think we've become so comfortable in the sensory-overload that we do so much but we are stagnant. We've forgotten what it's like to live life on basics and uniqueness. That is why I love The Hero's Journal SideQuest Decks.

The Hero's Journal SideQuest Decks (which I will simply call the SideQuest Decks from this point onward) are a set of cards that provide a "side quest" for you to complete. It can be your choice or picked randomly, but the point of the cards is to go out and actually live life, possibly outside from the "existing norm" of social media, technology, and all the modern creature comforts we've come accustomed to that seem to make life more stagnant if overly indulged.

Also, there is an underlying beauty to the cards as each side quest allows you to be as simple or dynamic as you can be. For example, as of writing this article, my latest side quest I completed was to have your favorite meal. Now to be fair, I have many different favorite meals depending on the mood, but a meal I haven't had in a long time is an acai berry bowl.

Now eating an acai berry bowl sounds simple enough, but I can make this more of an adventure if I wanted to. I could have made it an adventure to the grocery store to buy the ingredients to make my own custom acai berry bowl at home since I have never made one in my life. Or I could have traveled to a farm, one that grows or stores acai berries, and makes a bowl fresh from the source.

For me, I decided to go to a local restaurant I knew made acai berry bowls and try one of their creations. This would give me the one-two accomplishment punch as I would not only complete the side quest, but have the experience to review the restaurant, the Smoothie Social Cafe, on Yelp as an Elite.

"Eating My Favorite Meal" wasn't the first side quest I completed either. This isn't my first time at the side quest rodeo. Initially, I have completed three other side quests as shown in my IG videos. It also should be noted that side quests can be done solo or with friends and family. As shown in my side quest in visiting a museum or taking a virtual tour, I explored Kennedy Space Center with my dad.

Ultimately, I am thankful God has given us the freedom to do what we would like to do for there is freedom in Christ. But that freedom is in what is good according to God. And it is good to take a 15-minute Walk in nature. It is good to make your bed. It is good to relax for 10 minutes as long as you stay grounded in the good God has given us.

For that reason, I pray that anyone interested in the The Hero's Journal Side Quest Decks finds fulfillment in them either solo or with friends, family, and/or loved ones. I pray it is a method of living instead of existing. I pray that by doing this simple quests that were basic in God's world before we made it a world indulged by men, you find God... though it may be that God will find you.

If you are interested in The Hero's Journal SideQuest Decks or any of their other products, check out their store at their official website.

If you live in the Palm Bay, FL area and want to learn more about the Smoothie Social Cafe, visit their official website. You can also check out my review of the restaurant at Yelp.

John Chapman

Johnny Aplleseed was born near Boston in 1775. His real name was John Chapman. When he was a child he played in the forest and in the fields. His best friends were animals. He loved all animals. He played with them and talked to them. His family was very religious. Johnny’s first book was the BIBLE, but he also liked Aesop’s Fables. Johnny loved the tales about animals and their adventure.

When Johnny was a teeneger he worked as a missionary with the Indians. He converted many Indians to Christianity. He taught them about the Bible. The Indians were his friends

When he was 26 years old he had a vision.

An Angel appeared to him. The angel said, “ Go and plant apple seeds across America. The settlers of the new frontier want good apples to eat”

Johnny was surprised but he was happy. He was kind person and he wanted to help others. He took a big sack and filled it with Apple seeds. He carried this sack on his back. In one hand he carried the Bible, Aesop’s fables and othe religious books. Now he was ready to cross the continent and plant America’s favourite fruit : the apple

Johnny was an unusual man. He was tall and thin. He had a log hair and a beard. He never bought new clothes. he wore an old coffee sack and old clothes people gave him. he didn’t usually wear any shoes. He wore a saucepan on his head.

One of Johnny’s friend said :”God bless you, Johnny. We are happy for you. You are similar to St.Francis of Assis. He loved animals and lived a simple life.

Johnny said ,” I want to plant apple seeds across America. Every American family will have apple trees with good apples to eat”

In 1800 Johnny began his long journey across America. At that time America was very young country. The America continent was a wilderness. It was unexplored. There were no roads and few maps. This immense land was called American frontier. Many settlers wanted to explore the frontier.

Johnny walked from Massachussets to New York. From New York he walked to Pennsylvania. Then he crossed Ohio, Indiana and a big part of the Midwest. Everyday he moved west.

He travelled across America and planted apples seeds. He built fences atound the fields and then continued his journey. Settlers travelled to the frontier and foud apple orchards. They ate delicious fruit : green, red, and yellow apples. When the settlers found an apple orchard, they built a home there.

Other settlers dug up the apple trees and took them to new lands. Some of Johnny trees travelled to the west coast on the pacific ocean.

One day Johnny visited a family of settlers in the Midwest. This family loved books. He gave them a few pages from his books. ” You can read them and give them to me when I return in a few months,” he said. The family was very happy.

In this way, Johnny created the first library on the frontier. Many children learned to read thanks to Johnny and his library.

For many years Johnny walked thousands of miles across the frontier. He planted apple seeds, lent books, protected animals and made friends with settlers and Indians.

The Indians liked Johnny because he had no weapons and respected nature. Jonny learned to speak the languages of many tribes.

One summer morning many Indians arrived at a frontier village, The Indians wanted to destroy the village and kill the settlers. The Settlers wanted to send a messenger to a military fort to ask for help. The fort was 30 miles away. It was very dangerous. There were enemy Indians everywhere.

Johnny wanted to save the lives of the settlers. He knew all the secret paths in the forest and in the mountains. He was not afraid.

He took the message to the fort. The soldiers at the fort got on their horses and went to defend the settlers. A few years later, Johnny visited an Indians viilage. He heard the Indians chief say,” Many settlers live near the river. Tonight we will kill all of them”.

That evening Johnny ran to the home of every settler and said,” The Indians will attack you tonight. Run away ! Go and hide in the forest ! “ The settlers escaped to the forest and no one was killed.

Johnny loved all forms of human and animal life. He didn’t eat meat because he didn’t want to kill animals. He loved insects too. He loved and respected every living thing. He was very special person.

One autumn day, Johnny was near an apple orchard. He heard the cry of an animal. Behind a tree he found a deer.

“My poor friend !” said Johnny .” Don’t be afraid ! “

He examined the deer and said, “ Your leg is injured. I can help you.” The deer wasn’t afraid.

Johnny stayed with her the deer for many days and helped it.

“I am happy you can walk again. Go and run in the forest my little friend ! “

During a snow storm, Johnny wanted to sleep inside a small cave. He saw a big family of racoons sleeping inside the cave. He did’t want the racoons to go outside into the snow. So Johnny slept outside in the cold.

For almost 50 years, Johnny Appleseed helped the American frontier to grow. His apples trees, his books, his generosity and his kindness made the frontier a happy place.

Johnny became a legend during his life. Everyone loved him he was a true friend of the settlers, The indians and the animals.

In American today, people remember him with admiration. When American eat apple, they often think of Johnny Appleased who made apple trees grow all over America

A Guide to Finding Christian Entertainment for Every Occasion

As Christians, we are called to be in the world, but not of it. However, finding wholesome entertainment can be challenging today, where shows and movies with crude language, sexual content, and violence abound. Luckily, there are many great options for entertainment that the whole family can enjoy. From movies to music to books and games, this guide will help you find the right Christian entertainment for every occasion.

Movies: Christian cinema has come a long way in recent years, with films like Fireproof, God's Not Dead, and War Room gaining popularity. These movies not only provide clean and uplifting entertainment, but they also share powerful messages of faith and hope. When choosing a Christian film, look for those that are well-made and have a strong moral message. You can also ask other Christians for recommendations or look for reviews online.

Music: Listening to Christian music can be a great way to worship God and feel uplifted throughout the day. Many Christian music genres include rock, pop, hip-hop, and worship music. Some popular Christian artists include Hillsong United, Chris Tomlin, Lauren Daigle, and TobyMac. When choosing Christian music, look for biblically sound bands and artists with a positive message.

Books: Reading Christian books can be a great way to grow your faith and learn from other believers. There are many topics and genres, including Christian living, theology, devotionals, and fiction. When choosing a Christian book, look for biblically sound ones that align with your beliefs. Always take time to read reviews and consider the author's background before you purchase a book.

Games: Finding wholesome Christian entertainment is easy with games can be a challenge, but there are some great options for Christian families. Christian board games like Bibleopoly, Apples to Apples Bible Edition, and Settlers of Canaan can provide fun for the whole family while teaching important biblical truths. Christian video games like Bible Adventures and Catechumen can also be a great way to engage with Christian themes and stories. They can also be a great way to spend time together as a family. Many Christian board games are available, so take the time to read reviews and shop around for one that fits your family's interests.

Concerts: Attending concerts featuring Christian artists can be a great way to have fun while worshipping God. Many churches host these events, but you can also find them at local venues or large arenas. When choosing a concert, look for one that is appropriate for the whole family and has positive messages.

Banquets: Banquets are popular Christian entertainment as they allow them to fellowship with other Christians while enjoying a feast, hearing guest speakers, and participating in activities. Most of these banquets are free, or you can purchase tickets from the church or organization hosting the event. When choosing a banquet, look for one that is family-friendly and offers uplifting messages. Finding wholesome and uplifting entertainment can be challenging, but it is worthwhile. You can enjoy entertainment that aligns with your faith and values by choosing Christian movies, music, books, and games. When choosing entertainment in Christianity, look for well-made, biblically sound, and have a positive message. With the right event or show, you can grow your faith, have fun with your family, and enjoy wholesome entertainment that honors God. If you're still looking for the best entertainment options, connect to For Your Soul in Luton.

James Franklin Kautz, Sr. - was born on July 24,1946, passed into our Lord’s hands, receiving his eternal reward on October 19, 2022.

James was the first born son of John and Pearl Kautz, Jr. Boy, you know John and Pearl were elated when their son made his debut into this world, but they had no idea that he would be sent home with instructions, which read, “James is on a demand feeding schedule”. Throughout his growing up he took to his parents teachings of how important it is to have a relationship with the Lord, and followed in his father’s footsteps of being a great craftsman and Mr. Fix it!

Jim loved his younger brother, John, dearly. Of course, as any older brother, you know he gave John a run for his money at times, but he always enjoyed their time together whether it be an outdoor adventure, sharing a meal or over the phone, Jim was one proud big brother.

Following the call the Lord had placed upon him, Jim attended Bob Jones University in 1964 for half a semester, and then transferring to Central Bible College in the winter of, 1964, where he met the love of his life, Esther. Jim and Esther knew two things, that God had a call on both of their lives and that he had undeniably brought them together. They married on August 20, 1966. After marrying both returned to school and graduated in 1968. They shared 56 wonderful years together.

The two welcomed their first born, Deborah Ann on November 3, 1969. Debbie was the apple of her father’s eye. Joined at the hip was almost an understatement. The commonalities these two shared, truly wrapped his daughter around his finger. Later, Jim and Esther welcomed their son, James Franklin, Jr. into the family, and as the baby usually does, he stole the show. A quiet and peaceful baby, thought by his parents, but to his sister, he was a real live baby doll. Without question Jim couldn’t have been more proud of the two who called him “Dad”.

Jim honorably held the role of husband and father with much dedication and love, but allowed his heart to grow as the family grew with marriage and grandkids. He would burst in loving pride and joy when talking about Aaron, Luke, Kayden and Isabella. Boy, a proud grandpa was he!

Not only was Jim a loving and dedicated husband, father and grandfather, there was another name he was called, Pastor. Jim’s ministry road began in Vero Beach in 1968 and eventually lead them to Fort Lauderdale in 1972, where he and Esther have faithfully pastored Evangel Church for 50+ years. Last year, 2021, Jim was honored by the Assemblies of God for faithfully ministering unto the Lord for 50 years. There was no denying Jim’s love of the Lord, and his love for people.

Jim never claimed to be perfect, however, what was evident throughout his life is that he truly grasped

Matthew 22:37, “And Jesus replied to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for others].’”

Jim was preceded in death by his father, John Kautz, Jr.

He is survived by his mother, Pearl, brother, John, III, his loving wife, Esther, daughter, Debbie (son in law, Terry), son, Jim,Jr. (wife, Melissa), grandsons, Aaron Meitz (wife, Samantha) and Luke Meitz, granddaughters, Kayden Kautz and Isabella Kautz, many nieces and nephews, and a host of cousins.

The family will receive friends for visitation from 7-8:30 p.m., Thursday, October 27, 2022, at Fred Hunter’s Hollywood, 6301 Taft Street, Hollywood, FL 33024.

One Piece Chapters 211-219

Guoooogh!!! Okay my posts today are gonna both be late I think

Chapter 211 - King

OMG it’s the best One Punch Man character!!! It makes sense that he would be here. Lufpy is Saitama after all.

Everyone changes their minds about wanting peace, so various people turn out not to be dead. That solves it!

It turns out the king picked up Lufpy and left. I don’t think I saw that happen yet, but yeah, neither of them are dead. That means Nico Robin IS dead!!! I can see why she’s such a beloved character. I love dead people too.

Wait, no, the king didn’t carry Lufpy, Lufpy carried the king, and also someone else. Then they traded places, with Second Person Lufpy Carried presumably switching places with like a rodent or something, and that’s why they’re on the ground.

Sanji tells the princess not to give him credit for his good deeds. Like Jesus.

The cops arrest Mr. Zero. Wow!!! Useful cops!!! I hope One Piece gets a Cops Spinoff which is twice as long as the original.

Chapter 212 - Some Justice

Okay, it’s cool that there’s some justice in this chapter, but like, how much justice exactly?

The gluttonous cop has a new cop friend. She’s not palindromic. In fact, she says her own name a lot to make sure everyone knows how palindromic she isn’t. It turns out the reason it started raining was because the cops found a boat that made it start raining.

Next, the gluttonous cop refuses to be called “Protagonist”, because he’s figured out who the protagonists actually are.

Chapter 213 - V.I.P.

Wow, Sanji really IS Jesus! Via the transitive property.

A saxophone woman makes it her mission to satiate Lufpy.

Lufpy turns out to like basketball. Now that’s a good sport, unlike baseball! This is why Lufpy is better than Usopp.

Next, everyone becomes naked.

Why is literally EVERYONE here?! What is this, Smash Bros?!

Even Saxophone “No one should be looking at the princess naked” Guy is here. Even The “The princess’s father” King is here. What turn of events caused this to be a group activity. I hope this gets explained in the double-length Cops Spinoff.

Chapter 214 - Strategy to Escape the Sand Kingdom

The saxophone guy invents the word houldn’t.

There’s a swanhead on the boat. Far more importantly, Lufpy wants the princess to join the crew. Huh?! Is the princess really gonna be a PERMANENT character?! She doesn’t even do anything except Be Princess! We should get a different new permanent character instead.

Chapter 215 - Last Waltz

Everyone freaks out because no one wants the princess to become a main character of One Piece. She doesn’t, so it’s fine. Meanwhile, all the main characters of One Piece are dying, as is someone who matters far less.

Ah... everyone is dramatically dying so that the princess can be a main character of One Piece after all. This is almost as bad as in JoJo Part 6 when... well, I can’t say.

Chapter 216 - Vivi’s Adventure

Phew, the princess still isn’t a main character. Everyone died for nothing! I’m glad!

Chapter 217 - Stowaway

A cool epilogue happens.

Usopp is wrong here. It’s already been established that the more swords someone has, the weaker they are. I thought better of you, Usopp.

Nico Robin decides to become the new main character from this arc. Well, that’s vastly preferable to it being the princess, so I’m fine with it.

...By the way, WHEN is it going to start mattering that the third friend was named Rika?!

Chapter 218 - Why the Log Pose Is Dome-Shaped

...Huh?! That matters...?

It turns out Nico Robin was actually reading a non-boring part of the Bible all along. I wonder if it had Sanji in it, and via the transitive property, Lufpy as well.

Nico Robin ended up suicidal because she was actually a religious scholar looking for a really cool Book of the Bible. Now she’s gonna hang out with Lufpy because he un-killed her.

Zoro and Usopp decide to get on the same page about whether or not they think their female friend is bad news. This is wildly different from how things went down with Nami!

Boats start falling out of the sky on Lufpy. Now it’s time for them to go to the sky! Maybe.

Chapter 219 - Masira the Salvage King

This section of the Space Junk Galaxy utilizes all 3 of the game’s directions rather than being side-scrolly. I bet maneuvering the camera is really annoying here.

Ah... he’s Kaname Date from AI: The Somnium Files.

Nico Robin reveals that the dead people are really old.

Everyone starts wearing barrels, even though them being naked was a few chapters ago.

However...! There’s a demonic cross between the first boss of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and the first boss of Donkey Kong! This is bad, because the main characters are all barrels! And they presumably don’t like child abuse, either!
