#so fallen angel or not he is given to being gracious in battle

[muzzleroars]

I think that in a fight Gabriel could very easily just lift up and throw v1 into a floor/wall as an attack tactic, but would deem it too barbaric to actually use with his holier than thou mentality. now fallen gabe however … .

OH absolutely, their fights get way dirtier, especially in gabriel's more feral period where he just kind of breaks down and rails against everything he was an an angel (pretty much right when the transformation concludes with his tail) he is a much more brutal fighter, entirely leaning into what we see in heresy and giving himself over to doing whatever he wants in the moment without regard to proper combat etiquette. this is compounded with no longer being bound by heaven's tempering, so he actually has much more raw strength at his disposal - so he throws v1, throws things AT v1 (man's using architecture as weapons now, launching full pillars at it), and he goes after its wings or blood ports. v1 doesn't mind it because they both are well aware of when to stop, and there's something deeply fascinating about fighting an opponent that knows all of its weaknesses and isn't afraid to exploit them at any opportunity. this evens out somewhat later on, with gabriel recognizing that he does value some decorum on the battlefield and that he actually prefers maintaining his chivalry, which he reincorporates when he knows it's what he likes, not what heaven put into him. v1 teases him a bit for enjoying manners, but he returns to having a certain amount of respect for any opponent he faces even if he's a demon - besides, he and v1 can still sometimes have a no-rules brawl if they need it

#i just think of gabriel as intrinsically knightly #so fallen angel or not he is given to being gracious in battle #BUT there is definitely a period where he is. not at all #full wild animal for a minute there #he and v1 are terrifying to face in that time lol #cake answers #fallen gabriel

You are Worth It

Hi all! Let me start off by introducing myself, I am Lauren Sabrsula. I am currently a sophomore in high school, and some of my hobbies include cheerleading, theatre, and playing with adorable pups at whatever chance I get. I wanted to start a blog as a way to get my thoughts across on a wider platform. If there is anything I have learned in the last couple of years, it’s that we all have the same problems. Being a teenager is hard, and I feel like being vulnerable and real with others could be a way to touch someone’s heart in a very unexpected way- and that is my intention. With fresh perspective and 100% realness I hope I am able to touch people’s hearts, one blog post at a time. So, today I want to talk about a topic that has been heavy on my heart recently, and that is self worth. We live in a generation where self worth is generated by Instagram likes, invites to parties, and the amount of snapchats you get from boys asking to see you with your clothes off. The more we do this, the more broken we feel. We fall deeper, and deeper into this pit of hopelessness and depression.      And I want that to change. As I said in the intro to this, I intend to be real, I intend to share my personal stories in order to get my message across. With that , I have had countless nights where I feel I am not GOOD ENOUGH. Nights where I am left in my room, tears streaming down my face, asking God, “Why doesn’t he like me? Why is my body the way it is? WHAT is WRONG with ME?” Feeling insecure is natural, feeling bad about yourself is natural, feeling a lack of self worth is natural. We all have days where we feel like the world is out to get us, “woe is me”, you know? But with the love and grace of Jesus Christ, we no longer have to feel alone. Somedays we feel like we’re in shackles, struggling to be set free, struggling to feel redeemed by this unknown force. But guys, we will feel free from these shackles when we realize Christ has set us free. We no longer have to feel like our self worth is measured by boys calling us pretty, the “cool” crowd accepting us or partaking in illegal activities just to feel like we are worth something. So with that being said - Let’s take a minute to talk about how self worth goes hand in hand with temptation. “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 I am not an angel. I am not a picture perfect Christian. I make mistakes. Scratch that, I make so many mistakes some would believe my life is a horribly scripted Bravo reality T.V. Show. I have fallen in the hands of temptation and I have given in. And, we all have! And I promise that’s okay! None of us are perfect christians, and anyone claiming to be is lying to themselves. Jesus died for our sins; he knew that we would sin.  “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23. Don’t let sin take away your joy. Don’t let the world take away your joy. Don’t let sin, and temptation take away from your own self worth. But, I understand. It’s hard y’all. It’s hard to be a young girl trying to find herself, trying to learn about self worth, self acceptance, and being comfortable with my own body. But it is possible. Self worth is not something that is handed to us, for me personally, learning and accepting my own self worth has been a battle. A long, and, never ending battle that sometimes I just want to end. There are days when i try on countless outfits, feeling fat, or so repulsed by my own body that I end up crawling back in bed, sobbing my eyes out because I do not feel good enough. There have been times where I have literally looked at myself in the mirror, and picked myself apart. I have told myself I am too big, my legs aren’t long enough, my skin isn’t clear enough, my teeth aren’t white enough, I could go on and on and on. It is nights like this where I have the devil on my shoulder, whispering to me “ you are not worth it. You are not strong enough. You are not courageous enough.” And what hurts the most is that these thoughts, these horrible, awful, never ending thoughts are mine. It is ME talking to myself, believing myself, telling myself things that are not TRUE. And it is nights like this , nights where I am questioning my existence, nights when I am questioning the Lord, nights where I do not feel worth a damn. It is nights like this where I am forced to look in the mirror at my tear stained face, and I look deeper. I am kind, I am smart, I can strike up a conversation with someone I have never met, I am passionate about everything I do, I am trustworthy, I am loyal, I am WORTH IT. Not only am I worth it in my eyes, but I am worth it in the Lord’s eyes. And you guys.. For me, that is enough. He crafted me, he created me, step by step, piece by piece - He thinks I am perfect, he sees my flaws, and he loves them, and he cherishes them, and he believes that I am so perfect. He believes I am perfect enough to be summoned into existence, he believes I am gracious enough to be placed on this earth, and sent to spread his word. He believes my heart was put on this earth, with intentions to serve, to lead, to touch other people’s hearts in ways I cannot imagine. And he believes I am worth it. And I believe I am worth it. And it doesn’t matter that the boy I like doesn’t like me back. And it doesn’t matter that a group of girls screenshotted my selfie and completely obliterated me in their group chat. And it doesn’t matter that she thinks I am fake. Or that he thinks I am a slut. All that matters is that I am worth it. And you are too. You are whole, and you are pure, and you are beautiful , and your life is not meaningless , and you do not need others acceptance to satisfy your soul. All you need, all I need, all any of us need in this crazy world that is constantly changing is the Lord’s never ending love and grace he showers us with each and every day. We are all so loved beyond beautiful imagination! More than any of us will ever understand. I want to end this post with one of my favorite verses, probably one most people are familiar with. “ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that  full well.” I hope this blogpost has lifted a weight off your shoulders, and perhaps has pushed you farther along on your self worth journey, because you are worth it. I am worth it. We are worth it.
