When Jesus, God Himself, was on Earth, He chose twelve men to do life with Him. They camped with Him, ate with Him, and saw what He looked like first thing in the morning when He got up. They saw the look in His eyes when He looked at the hurting, and they heard the inflection in His voice when He spoke. They saw the laugh lines around His eyes, knew what His smile looked like, and heard what His laugh sounded like. They knew what foods He liked to eat and how He cooked. When God Himself walked on Earth, He chose closeness. He chose community. Jesus could have gone around all alone. If there was any man who could have been an island, it was Jesus. But He wasn’t. Of all the ways God could have chosen to live on earth, this is what He chose: community. There’s something about closeness and community that’s beautiful and important. Life isn’t fully life without it. So, ask God for your community. Ask God for the group of people who you can be close and do life with. Closeness with people is the way God designed life and the way He chose to live it.
watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.
like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.
One of my favorite things about Louis is how MEAN he can be. He can be charming and funny or soft spoken and a little off-putting (all excellent qualities) but I'm obsessed with the way he verbally flays Lestat, from small things like calling his fashion outdated when they first meet to calling him illiterate with shitty literature comprehension, to the first interview with Daniel where it's nothing but slander (he really does just call lestat a dumb shitty teacher lmao). And that's not even getting into the way he pokes ans prods at Daniel and Armand like. Idk where I was even going with this, I'm just fascinated by the way Louis will twist the knife with his words.
(about cr2 rewatch again) i litrally love tmn so much i will frow up. theyre so good. the cast are so good at embodying them. they dont sound like people trying to be characters sm of the time they sound like just (weirdo) real people it makes me crazy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the epilogue kiss with gale, first he teases tav, then they share a small peck and then a proper passionate kiss
and thinking about it all of a sudden i remembered the option in the weave scene from act 1 where you can imagine "kissing him with tenderness, then with passion" and??? what if its a parallel of that???? very possible that im just reading too much into things but the idea made my heart melt even moreee i love his romance so much
