I love LuZo where Zoro is so endlessly devoted to Luffy and he acknowledges this fully himself (I mean that's basically canon) but what gets even better is when fanfic writers/fanartists/etc. will have this careful balance to it, where Zoro knows it's gone possibly a bit too far (again also pretty canon) and he doesn't want Luffy to find out about it
Those works where Zoro doesn't want Luffy to find out about Thriller Bark because he knows he wouldn't be happy about it... oh those drive me so insane
(And with Nika Luffy, now... oh, I don't know how to express the multiple directions this could be taken in and just to what extent every single one of those would ruin me)

Ephesians 3
It’s sad. It’s so sad that there are so many souls out there who don’t realize that God is reachable; they don’t realize just how close He is. They spend their entire lives worshiping Him and praying to Him as if He’s afar off. But God is an intimate God. He’s a close God𑁋 even as close as beside us, inside us. He’s that friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24). It seems as if no one can really grasp the idea of God desiring to talk to us face-to-face as a man would to a friend: “And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend…” (Exodus 33:11).
We don’t need a pastor or a priest to speak to God on our behalf. Jesus is our High Priest, and because He dwells in us, we can go directly to God ourselves in prayer with confidence. When the veil was torn, we received complete access to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. We don’t have to pray long, eloquent, and repetitious prayers in order to be heard by God. The Bible says that the heathens pray using vain repetitions because they think that they’ll be heard for their much speaking (Matthew 6:7). We can pray to God and speak to Him like He’s a friend and be completely honest about our heart, our struggles, and our sin, believing that He hears us and responds.
God is not a Sunday service God. He desires to meet with us in our homes, at our jobs, as we run errands, and go through our day-to-day lives. He desires to be with us Monday through Saturday and not just when we’re sitting in the pews. He’s so much bigger than that, greater than that. And my prayer today is that Christ would dwell in the hearts of many by faith; that many would be rooted and grounded in love; that many would be able to comprehend the breadth, the length, the depth, and the height, and to know the love of Christ, which surpasses knowledge; and that many would be filled with the fullness of God.
Ephesians chapter 3

I literally have the Dark Souls Design Works books sitting on my shelf, but somehow I’ve either overlooked or never quite absorbed this interview until now:
Hatsuyama: Can I ask about Gwynevere, because compared to the other female characters she’s very different, almost glamorous.
Miyazaki: You don’t like the design?
Hatsuyama: No, I just wanted to know what the original idea behind her was.
Otsuka: As a fan of the character, I’d be interested to hear that too.
Miyazaki: The truth is that I just wanted to make a really big woman. I think it was a Fujiko F. Fujio manga in which there was a company president who joins an exclusive club to escape his stressful work life, and there’s this giant woman who takes care of the club members, almost like a mother… don’t you think that’s just a perfect situation? A giant, considerate, caring woman. The kind we all lost when we grew up; that’s what I wanted to make. Originally I wanted to put a mouth in the palm of her hand and we made all of the animations, but it didn’t make it into the final game. Talking of glamour, her breasts have nothing to do with me, they happened without my knowledge. It’s all the artist’s fault. I think I mentioned it earlier but I always seek a certain refinement in all my designs.
Waragai: Really?
Miyazaki: Yes, but the artist had such a happy look on his face, I didn’t have the heart to stop him.

Understanding the Sovereignty of God | Your relationship with Him is being built stronger
The peace of God surpasses all understanding. He is looking to have a deeper relationship with us through different characteristics: Trust, Submission, and Understanding. God be in my head and in my understanding is something we need to ask daily. He is looking to strengthen the relationship we have with Him. Finally we have to place ourselves in a position to be in submission to the Will of God

This is a reminder for me that God can turn any mistake into miracle where his will will still get done at end of the day!
Praise God for his wisdom! Meanwhile I need to keep in mind to never lose hope and get discouraged.

Fascinating Post ~ Wisdom & Encouragement to a Young Lady
Fascinating Post ~ Wisdom & Encouragement to a Young Lady
In the past week, I saw a post while looking on X (formerly Twitter) from Christian writer, Summer Jaeger. To be totally honest, I do not know her, nor do I know much about her. She is one of two creators of a theologically conservative web page on theology for Christian women. I only bring her up because I want to simply interact with her…

I want to be able to rest and have hobbies I want to be able to do things with my partner and my friends again I want to be able to fuckin daydream and make up stories again for Christ sake I want to feel like a person and not a corpse forced into playing "tradwife" I want the freedom they all have while I'm in the background doin they're dishes.

Too Wise for His Own Good
23 “If there be for him an angel,
a mediator, one of the thousand,
to declare to man what is right for him,
24 and he is merciful to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down into the pit;
I have found a ransom;
25 let his flesh become fresh with youth;
let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’;
26 then man prays to God, and he accepts him;
he sees his face with…

So many times my plans have just exploded and my dreams have died and things went totally opposite from what I planned. Isn’t that the truth!!! It happens! I found myself many a time saying: This is not my plan Lord! I don’t understand Your way, but I trust Your heart for me.
