“I can’t hear God.” Every time you hear scripture at church, on the radio, in your car, reading your Bible study, touching braille Bible verses, listening from your Bible in a year podcast, etc—— God is speaking to you. The Bible is the living Word: and the living Word is God.

Tazercraft mental link but make it a lil bit weird, they’ll have a conversation mostly in their heads but partially out loud which from an outside perspective is just fragments of words and half sentences, they go dead silent for hours at a time only for them to suddenly start shouting out loud, very clearly mid-argument, Pac says something but it comes out of Mike’s mouth, Mike starts speaking with his mouth and finishes speaking with Pac’s, sometimes their thoughts become so tangled that they’re unsure who a thought belongs to so they both express it at the same time like horror movie twins, do you see my vision

I have a question about the pearls - I thought they were just an illusion, but Vanja keeps talking about their effect on people, especially Emeric, who often seems to have his legs swept out from under him.
Do the peals have some effect beyond an illusion of beauty that makes people take notice? Emeric implies they don't work on him the way Vanja expects/they do for others. What do they do to him? What does he see?
So there are two concurrent things playing out with the pearls! Spoilers under the cut.
1: The pearls don't just physically transform the wearer, they essentially are souped-up pretty privilege. If you are romantically attracted to women, you'd have a crush on the wearer. If you aren't romantically attracted to women, you'd want to be their companion, confidante, accomplice. It doesn't override every other emotion, it just puts a thumb on the scale.
2: Our junior prefect has two things working for him. First, he has the glasses that show enchantments, so he knows what effect Vanja expects the pearls to have on him. And second, he's demi, so at first, all he gets is the inclination to be friends. In the first act, he's playing into Vanja's expectations so she underestimates him; in the second, he's mostly neutral to her in the pearls. In the third act, you can actually pinpoint when he's officially caught feelings, because Vanja puts on the pearls and is like "wow he looks like he got run over by a mack truck, never seen him do that face before............. WELP IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME SURELY."
