#chew on the word of god

[biblegumchewontheword]

Let us use our words to bring light and love, just as Jesus did. He offered comfort, forgiveness, peace, and hope. Let us share the good news and bring faith and life to those around us.

O God, help us to speak in a way that reflects our faith in Jesus. May our words be a witness to others of our commitment to Him. We pray as Jesus taught us: "Our Father in heaven, may Your name be honored, Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today what we need for this day. Forgive us our debts, as we have also forgiven those who owe us. And don't let us be tempted, but save us from the evil one." Amen.

Compromise. Im not going to actually WRITE meta but i AM going to lay out a list of things I'm thinking about broadly and thematically and would probably write meta about if i were properly caught up and informed, but is instead influenced much more by early campaign F.C.G:

**edit: no this is kind of meta again. sorry.

- F.C.G grappling with the questions of: being made. purpose. whether it matters if you find your own purpose if you were made with one in mind and you "choose" something else. Can you actually? Does it matter? Is your choice a choice at all?

- Wanting so badly to heal people and help people and the unique fear of waking up and seeing damage done by your own hands. To the same people you wanted so badly to help. You extend healing and you offer comfort or kind words but all the while, in your core is a tightness. In your core is a danger. How much good do you need to do to get the blood off your chassis? Can you, at all?

- Metal body. Metal hands. A little wheel. You were a turtle once and it felt so wondrous to breathe. You try out tongues or little wooden legs or whatnot but it always comes back to an inorganic metal body and empty insides no matter if youre filling them with liquids or secret goods to smuggle or pastries (faux warmth). Maybe everything like wooden legs dangling off a metal body. All for show.

- A coin in hand. Looking for a higher power. Thinking about choice. Deferring choices.

- You love your friends, so much. You love people being kind to each other. You love your boyfriend and their wonderful way of thinking. You love being alive. Even when you doubted you were at all. You love, truly and deeply.

- Ashton raging at F.C.G for being a martyr. For aching for a good enough reason to get himself hurt or killed or blown up. Ashton looking at F.C.G knowing they're all messed up inside and trying so hard to stop them from letting it destroy them.

- Ashton always worried about how they're always trying to find a big enough cause, a good enough reason.

And so with those things, I remembered about F.C.G:

- F.C.G looking at their friends all down. Ashton laid out unmoving.

- F.C.G with something awful in their core. Ready to spill out. The same something awful they were always worried about. They were always aware of.

- F.C.G always looking for that reason. For that bigger and better cause.

- F.C.G always feeling like they didn't understand purpose, like it was so. unattainable- finally, briefly, startlingly- sure. Finally free of doubt. Their friends down and something awful and destructive in their core and one last thing they can do to maybe make things worth it, and the ability to choose it. They were made for something. They chose what to do with it.

- F.C.G finding that reason. F.C.G making that call. F.C.G thinking it was worth it.

- I think because of him, they succeeded. They won. That is certain.

- I think. "Worth it". Is always a subjective thing.

- I think. A self sacrifice is never just one person giving everything up. A self sacrifice, unfortunately- is one person making a choice.

And everyone else caught, in the blast radius.

#critical role #cr spoilers #cr liveblogging #c3e91 #fcg #AH SHIT. THIS IS META AGAIN.

do you ever think about Garak waking up and seeing Julian in that chair, uncomfortably crammed in and slumped over asleep, and wonder how he must've felt when he realized Julian wasn't going to leave

#star trek: ds9 #elim garak #julian bashir #otp: I need to know that someone forgives me #Garak wakes up in a haze of pain and overstimulation and far too many feelings #and the first thing he sees is Julian asleep in that chair right at his bedside #after Julian has promised him he'll stay with him and help him through everything- no matter what he did #its one thing to give your word its another to follow through and theres Julian. following through #theres Julian staying by his side #im gonna chew on glass. #how do you think Garak feels about it afterwards #knowing that he responded by attacking him #Julian is hovering over Garak's bed in the infirmary checking his readings and chatting away with him #but then he turns a certain way and winces #he doesnt say anything but his hand goes to his back #Garak asks if he's alright and Julian waves it off #says he's fine he just slept wrong #but there's this look in his eyes. guilty almost #he doesnt want to say it #but Garak knows #god The Wire you will always be famous I think about you every day

we died together, intertwined, literally bleeding into each other, we came back together, in the same drawn breath. we were connected before but now we are as one entity separated by different bodies, our pain, anger, fear and joy shared between us. you cannot separate us, not even with death, we will always come back to each other. we will never leave each other. our very souls intertwined.

#leverage ot3 #<- hi i’m being feral #god. absolutely chewing on an au concept #leverage immortality au #this babey can fit everything in it!!!!!!!!!!!! #dying in each others arms. coming back Wrong. immortality. codependency to such an extreme level #oughoufhough ough #also while i was tying this i was like. oh. this is also #joe x nicky #*typing #anyways. anyways. anyways. #my writing #words #YOU BLED IN TO ME AND I BLED INTO YOU AND NOW WE ARE THE SAME

yeah i can’t stop thinking about the parallels between hearth and alex’s backstories… they were both born into a life that, under slightly different circumstances, would have offered them a lot of privilege. their families had a ton of money and a good social status, and hearth and alex were, in many ways, set up for success.

but there was a catalyst for each of them, something that ended up setting them up for failure instead - the way hearth’s father reacted to him being deaf and alex’s father reacted to her being trans. both of them, despite being born into a life that would have offered them plenty, ended up ostracized and shunned from their families. constantly ridiculed and criticized and blamed for something they couldn’t control and didn’t ask for, but in a better world should have been able to celebrate. hearth should have been able to celebrate his deafness and alex should have been able to celebrate her transness, but they were both robbed of that. they were robbed of their childhoods, growing up in toxic environments and spending their formative years being abused, all for some of the only people in their lives who understood them or cared about them to die.

and yet, each of them were able to cut ties and make their own way in the world. they both managed to build a better life from the ground up, bringing together a solid group of friends to spend the rest of their life (or afterlife) with. they were both taught to hate themselves, spent every day of their childhoods being mistreated by their fathers and told they were worthless, and yet in the end they both manage to undo all that and learn how to love themselves. they learn how to celebrate the very same parts of themselves that their fathers tried to stamp out, choosing instead to surround themselves by people who care about them.

additionally, they both embody the paradox of wanting to distance themselves from their parentage and yet simultaneously reclaim it. alex wants nothing to do with any of her parents, yet deliberately reclaims loki’s urnes snake symbol. hearth has no desire to be associated with his father or former life, but reclaims the rune of inheritance.

but in reclaiming their past, neither of them return to it. alex doesn't try to go back to her house after being kicked out. hearth accepts the othala rune in the end, but after his father is killed, never returns to alfheim again. they take what's theirs, leave, and never look back. so, both of their journeys ultimately involve leaving their former lives behind - giving up privilege, wealth, social status, and the acceptance of others in order to be themselves. becoming the people they want to be, rather than the people society and their fathers wanted them to be.

#anyway if you need me i'll be in the next room chewing on plywood #i never stop thinking about this #resilience and radical self-love and whatnot. identity. embracing the parts of yourself you were taught to repress etc etc #i really wish it had been explored more in canon #i have so many thoughts about hearth and othala and his father's heart & alex and her tattoo #i plan to write a separate meta about that once i'm finished rereading the books #my words #mcga #magnus chase and the gods of asgard #hearthstone #alex fierro #meta #also othala autocorrected to ithaca lmao #every time i think i'm done with this i end up adding more so i'm going to post it now lol

Me @ Netflix if they cut Foxglove and Hazel or A Game of You or yassify any of the girls

#sandman season 2 #a game of you #fucking bullshit man this comic say what you want in not saying there's nothing to criticize but christ #where else even today do you get queer women characters this un-polished and prettied up #to still be appealing looking to cishet men who are allowed to be messy and Problematic without #being punished by the narrative. And Wanda god she's a nerd she's a scene gal fashion wise she's everything #Barbie is desperately recovering any sense of identity at all and it's so compelling. I don't even trust netflix to do them justice #at this point but if the lesbians the fandom was least likely to find Palatable background extras aka the most human ones #are cut? If Wanda is yassified if Barbie is cut? Because we have to streamline everything and cut off everything that made #sandman unique to pull as many bucks as possible? Yes I AM going to take that #personally actually. It kinda does feel like a slap in the face. Queer women and women in general were the core fanbase of the comic for ye #but if they say fuck us when it's time to make $$?? Then fuck them right back. Bye #We don't need yet another time that if queer women aren't looking like models #they're not fit to be seen according to executives and audiences alike #also it goes without saying that if h0b g*dli*g gets one second more screen time than is necessary #I'm gonna chew my way thru Netflix hqs walls #Has he not taken over enough. The fandom is already insufferable about him #and I'm so fucken tired of it we DON'T need more #yes I know this is all fears and speculation. I WANT to be wrong. You don't know how happy I'll be if i have to eat my own words #But until then I'm so nervous

The nice thing about being a hipster weeb is introducing people to weird stuff you like.

The not so nice thing about being a hipster weeb is you have so few people to screech with about the weird stuff.

#no I haven’t been inhaling Jack Jeanne like a thirsty fool in the desert why do you ask #please someone yell with me about Kai and Neji because OH MY GOD THE BUTTONS BEING PUSHED!!!!!!!! #(in various senses of the word) #also yes this is your sign to get Jack Jeanne on the switch #it’s Ouran smushed into Takarazuka and now available in English #ETA: I am internally Losing My Marbles over what happens if you straight up tell Kai 'I love you' when the route starts #ferally in my feels and chewing on the babygirl

You punch my face hard, my nose starts to bleed. This isn’t our first time doing this. I am not surprised. I trust you, i always do. I crave the ache you provide. We’re important to each other. I know you will care for me.

Your face is static. This hasn’t happened ever. I fall to my knees. I don’t hit back like i usually do. The blood from my nose burns. It’s my first time with iron in my snout. Its new, and it fills me with so many feelings.

You’re juststanding there, looming over me. This fills me with comfort. I am not surprised. I expect you to do something. Stillness is a stabin my heart, I want to feel your roughness. I know it isn’t healthy.

You put your hand in my hair. This isn’t how i expected things to go. How does one feel in a situation like this? A vulnerability like this, unexpected. I wish i could tear your arm off. It’s all too fast for me. It’s new, and it fills me with so many feelings.

You get down on my level, our eyes meeting. This is alright. I am not surprised. „Is everything okay?” you ask. No, the words sting my throat. I have to take a deep breath. I don’t know what face I'm making, you’re worried.

You pull me near. This feels warm in my soul. Your body one with mine. I trust you, i always do. I feel the pain in your mind. It’s my first time with your heart in my mouth. It’s familiar, and it feels so simple.

#Poetry #dimky writing #oh my god this was eating me away so hard and i was chewing is back so bad #I don't FULLY know what it is abt anymore.. some friends said soapshipping vibes at the beginning of this thing haha #the words they sometimes just start to appear #anyways hope someone enjoys it i spent like 3 days on it which is more time than anything i spend time on /hj

A cleric or paladin so devoted to their mission they multiclass into warlock to be able to get spellslots back easier to dish out more guiding bolts and heals and divine smites and

#their god is like ''you are not supposed to do this and you know it'' #''but i'm so much more effective now.'' ''sigh... i guess you are...'' #meanwhile they are out there matrix style dodging the specifics of their warlock pact (or getting entangled in their web bc they bit off #*more than they could chew) #(would their god help them deal with their patron once they notice? or leave them to the consequences of their actions?) #dnd #d&d #cleric #paladin #warlock #brought to you by: i have played too much bg3 and am jealous of wyll ravengard for getting spell slots back on a short rest U_U #healing word is a BONUS ACTION!!! and so tempting ToT #patron: ''at least use the free cantrips i gave you eldritch blast is so goo-'' cleric/paladin: ''SACRED FLAME FOR THE WIN!!''

Hi! I hope you know I ask this with no pressure or anything, but now that Falling For Your Fools Gold is over, I was curious if you have another fic planned or not? I just love your writing so much!

Hello, lovely Anon! So, I will admit that I am behind on my writing schedule and feeling le stressed about it, but if all goes to plan, my posting schedule for the rest of the summer should be....

A 6-part Elucien AU inspired by Disney's Enchanted that I should be posting for Elucien Week (which starts July 9)

Cassian Week starts July 30, and I have lots of fun fics planned for it, including:

An IPB AU with Cassian as a blue alien man

Gargoyle Cassian

A Regency AU where Cassian takes Taylor Swift's song Speak Now too literally

A one-shot where Cassian goes into Mate Mode(tm)

The first chapter of the infamous Hockey Cassian

And then after Cassian Week, the goal is that with the first chapter of Hockey Cassian posted, I will return to my weekly updates for that fic

And then Nessian Week is in September but I can't think about that just yet....

#PHEW! #have I bitten off more than I can chew with this plan? #probably #but we're going to try anyways! #may the writing gods bless me with the words and motivation I need #my fic #answered

[kit-n-kamoodle]

haven’t drawn just for myself in forever so... a little treat..... a little sketch and a little indulgent fill in the blanks template

#my art #vanxx #scraping the bottom of the barrel for inspirations holy god #it's 90% vimes and 8% vander and squinting at what remains #anyways rolling around in my old man whos picky about finding the right words to his detriment dealing w hero behaviour fallout #w issues of legacy and memory and recognizing his own faults only thru seeing it in others #chews on him

re-reading lemony snicket's 'all the wrong questions' and being so fuckign normal about ellington and snicket. beign so normal and sane and usual and head in hands about their dynamic and how now that i'm fucking older i get it.

helping her because he can't help his sister. trying to keep his feelings from interferring with his work. willingly catching himself in the same wickedly nasty web as her just to get closer. using different names until she's tangible and perceivable and real again just to solidify her existence in the moment. i'm only on the second novel but i am consuming their dynamic like flesh on bones i am so fuckign normal about them mr snicket pLEASE-

#i already know the diseases will get worse #i am not prepared for the diseases to get worse #i am going to purposefully make them worse #as god intended #scotty's ramblings on the wall #all the wrong questions #lemony snicket #ellington feint #snicketverse #i am so unwell about the town of stain'd-by-the-sea and the girl with the question marks for eyebrows and the villain behind it all #mr snicket i am going to chew you to pieces /posi #i am going to draw them. #mark my fuckign words.
