#my day improves significantly

❛  𝙷𝙾𝚆  𝙻𝙾𝙽𝙶  𝙷𝙰𝚂  𝙸𝚃  𝙱𝙴𝙴𝙽  𝚂𝙸𝙽𝙲𝙴  𝚈𝙾𝚄’𝚅𝙴  𝙴𝙰𝚃𝙴𝙽,  𝙹𝙾𝙷𝙽𝙽𝚈-𝙱𝙾𝚈 ?  ❜ for monsignor pruitt / @bobgray​

Two bony hands tightened their grip on the beads of a rosary. It dangled from Monsignor Pruitt’s palms. The curtains of his home were drawn and heavy: no sunlight was to touch the cross nor the man holding it. 

John Pruitt spent his days praying, eagerly waiting for his angel’s call behind tightly shut eyelids. There had been alarming revelations as of late and, though the clergyman knew there to be a reason for such horrifying happenings ( For who knows a person's thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God —Corinthians 2:11 ), he could not help but feel fear in both his heart and thoughts. He required guidance, advice, a sign that what he had done and WHAT HE CRAVED FOR did not make him an evil man.

Pruitt swallowed hard and pressed his forehead to his praying hands. These days, communion felt very much like BEGGING —— and though he knew to be all alone in his room, he still could not bring himself to raise his voice above a whisper.

             “ Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy. Our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we... ”    A sharp and hot pain stabbed at his bowels and John slammed his closed fists against his nightstand, causing the lamp upon it to jolt. He needed to remain focus.   “ To thee do we — ” 

Another flash of pain tugged at his insides causing Pruitt to grit his teeth together. He had never felt hunger like this. It felt cataclysmic; as if not meant for mankind but for a storm or the sea. And this time, when the pain hit him, a voice accompanied it. It was not his angel, for he would never use such a mocking tone. His words were holy, ancient and beautiful — the ones interrupting his peace of mind felt mundane. Like something an ill-mannered child would say. 

But they could not be of this world. For there was no one in that room with him. And they had beckoned to John by his christian given name.

          “ Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights in order to feel closer to God. ” John tried. Sweat stuck to his forehead. And when he pulled his face away from his hands, he felt nauseous.  “ Fasting from sin allows us to focus on what’s important. It — it clears the mind. ”

Hopefully it would not take him a month to feel holy again.

I love people who name their cars, and are enthusiastic about it too: like yes actually I’d love to meet your 2018 Toyota Carolla you named Bumpkin. And yes please do share the story behind the name, I would love to know.

#the day I named my car was the day my life significantly improved :D #m’s mind

#pokemon go #when the game first came out there was literally no pokemon or anything out here no stops no NOTHING... ZERO #so I quit within the first day since it was impossible to play #things have significantly improved and theres a whole lot of new stuff out here... still only 1 pokestop though #but its in the middle of nowhere!! so awesome #new pokemon now spawn randomly too #i am glad my baby cousin has convinced me to play again i have been playing while working to pass the time and have been having a fun time #and we trade gifts every day so i have also become better friends with him and have something to talk about other than “how is school” #games

How long did it take you to develop your art style?

(Lowkey you've inspired me to try drawing again because the combination of good writing and drawing makes me want to do the same. I'm great at writing, need to get better at drawing X3)

Ehehe I’m so glad I can inspire you!! :D I never really specifically focused on developing a style, it just sorta happened naturally and is continuing to happen! I just let my art be whatever it wants to be

#ask #I will say that the fastest way to IMPROVE your art #is to find something you love and draw it until you’re sick of it #then find something else and repeat #I’m a professional artist for a living & my job is literally to draw all day but drawing my blorbos over the past month has improved my art #significantly

i think i did as much art as i could handle in one day but lemme just say, i am so proud of myself for actually indulging in my hobby again because this winter was tough. i barely touched a pen. i thought i was breaking the promise i made to myself last year that i would keep practicing and making new art. but here i am. all it took was a deep, unhealthy obsession with star trek.

#imma read for the rest of the day i think #my mood is significantly improved compared to this morning #.personal

gross oversharing post

So I've been swallowing? incorrectly? i hate this

agonizing these past few days because my throat hurts bad and the thing that helps is drinking much water. Which requires use of throat. Which hurts bad. I take naturally small sips anyway, and because every sip was excruciating I probably started taking even smaller sips. Without even realizing.

Well this morning. I accidentally. Took a huge gulp. And the pain was barely noticeable compared to how it's been. Still hurts when I'm not actively chugging but apparently my throat tortures me a lot less if I just fill the whole thing with water at once instead of like. Sipping. The way that I have my whole life.

Like I would never in a million years have known to ask if I was swallowing correctly, if drinking water differently would feel better on my throat. I'm so mad.

25 years.

Who the freak has to be taught how to swallow unpainfully

#personal #uhh how do i tag this #gross #tmi #sickness #uugggh #how am i so dumb #for 25 years. sore throats have been my most hated way of getting sick because with any other sickness laying down and drinking water #feels better #and it seemed like those things made sore throats worse #well apparently drinking water does feel relieving if you do it correctly which is probably a natural instinct ever other person on earth #just naturally had #am i laying down incorrectly too?! #y'all kept on saying it would feel better and i iust thought you meant. like eventually. because your body needs the fluid to heal #i didn't know it was possible for the sipping itself to bring relief instead of pain #i'm so deeply upset #today is a stuck in the tags day #anyways my quality of life has been significantly improved by this accidental discovery #i should be happy but i need a minute to be devastated first

I am once again in insurance hell, so let me reiterate: Aetna is the worst health insurance company I’ve ever had to deal with. Avoid it if you can. 

#the person behind the yarn #tj is in insurance hell #swearing #fuck aetna #they won't cover my damn inhalers #and I keep getting calls and emails from their customer service team #because they keep sending me damn surveys #and I keep filling them out #and rating them poorly because surprise! their service is terrible! #they are not covering a single damn one of my preventative medications #well. they are covering singulair #so they are covering a single damn one #the only other medication they are covering is my fludrocortisone #which is....not really a preventative medication? #I mean it improves my quality of life SIGNIFICANTLY #in that I am able to be upright and conscious most of the day now #but it's not like...preventing allergic reactions or asthma attacks or anything #hm. not sure where the line is there #but also it's a long term steroid so if any of my meds are likely to have significant long term side effects #it's that one. that one is likely to fuck me up long term #and they cover that one no problem???? #I mean I am very glad they do but what the fuck #cover my damn rescue inhaler

taiwanmutuals how are we doing after the earthquake

#just thinking thoughts... #i am fine btw. the south wasn't as affected as the north or east coast #but it WAS the biggest earthquake since 921 back in 1999 #it seems like our infrastructure has improved significantly though #only 4 deaths compared to the 2000+ from that time #i was going to change my phone plan today but they were super overwhelmed because tons of people had no service #and they told me to come back another day because the mobile systems were all down

I'm a lil late to the party but happy tdov <333 i love you all and i hope today has treated you kindly

#tdov #i managed to get out with a friend after an incident at home which significantly improved my day / mood:)

[aoifereal]

Made tasty sweet potato feta pasta which is good. Sat outside in the sun with my friends which was nice. Sorted the thing with my mum which was less bad than I worried about. Played some Zelda. Going to go to the board game cafe and play magic. I've got some Easter eggs bought so I can set up an Easter egg hunt for my housemates tomorrow morning

#aoiferealposting #woke up very achey today but my day has improved significantly!

me: weird, I’m not able to reblog anymore? If I click reblog nothing pops up. I notice ublock origin’s counter keeps going up, what gives?

tumblr:

why the fuck is a wordpress pixel preventing me from reblogging you loser ass website. I’m not on wordpress, this breakage shouldn’t be happening.

Tbf, if I open a new tab or refresh the page I’m able to reblog again - but if I’m deep in the dash that’s obviously not the ideal move to make. I’m assuming this has something to do with the new UI Tumblr’s using because this hasn’t happened before.

Also, having refreshed the page and basically JUST making this post - can you fucking not??

Maybe it’s because I have the logger open so it’s not refreshing things but uhhh yeah this is dumb, whatever’s happening here.

On top of my heart kinda racing (bad) by just using the new UI because it feels like I’m on twitter again I’m just so annoyed with everything @staff​ is doing >.> STOP IT god dammit

#if your website breaks because I'm using ublock origin - I'm not using your website #thankfully the app is there and it Seems I can refresh the page desktop to reblog again but god.... #why r y'all so hellbent on making me hate it here lol. I keep trying to say I love the community then tumblr throws another curveball #like hey!! do you want a new shitty update you didn't ask for?? here 🤲 #the twitterfication of tumblr includes finding unique ways to make you at least little angry or annoyed every day >.> #uhhhh on top of twitter going to hell and twitter ppl joining tumblr. I Can Tell bc there's def a lot more discourse posts floating around #the past couple of weeks. It's too late for the rent lowering gunshots huh? #like the ecosystem here improved significantly when the reddit folk came over then twitter implemented a post view limit and #almost immediately twitter ppl came over and kinda offset the reddit ppl 😭 idk things r p chill over at cohost #i gotta work on building out my circles over there and finding more ppl because it's a genuinely fun place and as time goes on feels #more and more like tumblr than fucking tumblr itself does. I'm still here bc i'm invested in my mutuals and the artists I follow. #I wouldn't be surprised if at some point I just plug an API and stream posts from artists somewhere else so I don't #even have to be on here anymore.

I need a suit of armor so bad

#at first i was just looking at em for a cosplay/ren faire thing #but honestly i think wearing a suit of armor in my day to day life would significantly improve everything #why? because armor's sick as hell that's why #same with my wizard outfits i just wear em for fun #anyways. was considering cosplaying Laios Touden but just became enamored with the thought of wearing armor in general
