I haven’t played Baldur’s Gate III, but I’m GLAD it won Game of The Year.

This needs to be a wake-up call for western video game publishers/development studios that it pays to deliver EVERYTHING the game has to offer day 1.

Also that live-services & Wokeness aren’t all they’re cracked up to be.

3, 10, 17 and 30 pls <33333

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

This is sort of a tie. I'm going to say both Is This Love? and Drabbles & Ficlets. Yes, they are both in the same universe, but with D&F, I get to explore events before, during, and after events that happen in ITL. I get to explore the character of Jimmy and I love that I was one of the first to do so. I love getting to write romantic and fluffy scenes for him and my OC Julie.

10. What work was the quickest to write?

Basically any drabble in All Valley Drabbles, Volumes 1 & 2. But if we're talking single works, either last year's Lap Pillow or Wake-Up Call, which was my Valentine's Day ficlet for ficwip.

17. Your favorite character to write this year?

Well, the obvious answer is always Jimmy. But I had the chance to write Tommy this year. I really enjoyed getting inside his head and focusing on him as more of a main rather than a supporting character.

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

Probably my biggest surprise was getting inspired to write something by art that I had commissioned. What started out as personal headcanons just for fun became my first ever crossover/fusion fic. I know that I haven't worked on You're a Wizard, Jimmy for a few months, but I do have plans for it. I don't see it as a longfic, as I have other more important WIPs that require my attention, but I might have an anthology sequel for it. I also see this fic as a way to dip my toe into writing for another fandom. I do have plans to write at least two Harry Potter AU fics, as well as a few different fandoms.

Thank you for the asks!

do you think that jay was too harsh with hailey from 9x05 - 9x07 or rather? and that jay's right to deal with things the way he wants and no one is allowed to dictate it to him and that that was maybe also a wake-up call for hailey because jay also has limits (being lied to and being called "ricky" in 9x03 without the background to know and to have asked)

I don't think he was too harsh. As much as I love Hailey and hate seeing her sad, I understood that Jay needed space and time to figure everything out. Neither of them knew what to do next. They couldn't just forget everything and move on. And they couldn't just keep ignoring each other. It was a tricky situation, but I think the writers dealt with it well. They both got wake-up calls. Hailey realized that keeping things from Jay would only hurt their relationship and never help. And for Jay, I think the Roy mess showed him what's most important in his life, Hailey. Time and space helped him realize that Hailey hasn't changed. She is still the passionate cop he fell in love with, and he had to protect her no matter what.

Better Than Miracles P1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 | Timothy J. Keller [1 Corinthians 13:1-3]

Series: Love: The Way to Grow Up

This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 14, 1996

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3; Acts 18:9-11; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; 1 Corinthians 8:1; 1 Corinthians 10:24; Matthew 7:21-23

1 Corinthians 13 is a very famous passage — but in the context of the entire book of 1 Corinthians, we see that it is a sober warning against straying from the Gospel.

If a person is gifted, many of the Corinthians were, it is frighteningly easy to mistake spiritual gifts for spiritual fruit. When we serve others in the Church,

     Are we serving JESUS or are we serving      ourselves? To understand this passage      fully, you have to understand:

[a] The story behind it; [b] The bombshell Paul is dropping on the      Corinthians; and [c] How it applies to people today.

A.] Overview

Every year after Easter from the week after Easter till the onset of summer -- we choose a series of sermons that really talk about what it means to practically live a Christian life.

And we're going to be looking at the very famous passage of 1 Corinthians 13, the entire CH & we're going to look at that for six weeks.

Therefore though I'm only going to be looking at v.1-3 today, & that's all that is printed there. I am going to read you the whole passage.

And it's extremely familiar, very famous probably next to the LORD's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm, this may be the third most famous passage in the Bible

It's Paul writing in the 13th CH of the first epistle of his first letter to the Corinthians, and he writes this:

1 Corinthians 13:1-13 | Import of Love

¹ If I speak in the tongues of men and of Angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy & can fathom all mysteries & all knowledge—& if I have absolute faith so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

³ If I give all I possess to the poor and exult in the surrender of my body, but have not love — I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It doesn't envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It is not rude, it is not self -seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs.

⁶ Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. ⁷ It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be restrained; where there is knowledge, it will be dismissed.

⁹ For we know in part & we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when the perfect comes, the partial passes away.

¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I set aside childish ways.

¹² Now we see but a dim reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

¹³ And now these three remain: faith, hope, & love; but the greatest of these is love.

This is GOD's Word.

Order a northern lights wake-up call at the push of a hotel room phone's button In Iceland, you can sleep soundly knowing that you won't miss a northern lights display. That's because some hotels have equipped their room phones with a special button for wake-up calls, labeled either "Northern Lights Wake-Up" or "Aurora Wake-Up." — Read the rest https://boingboing.net/2023/03/30/order-a-northern-lights-wake-up-call-at-the-push-of-a-hotel-room-phones-button.html

I have no time right now to elaborate too deeply on this thought but I just had a brain worm and I need to write it down before I forget. Who knows, I may elaborate and make this a whole thing with dialogue tonight, we’ll see. TW for depictions of Steve’s injuries post s4, vomiting, gore(?)

Steve refuses medical treatment at the end of s4, they drop off Eddie and he hides in plain site until it’s time to take Dustin and Robin home.

They stop at Dustin’s first, both he and Robin getting out to get Claudia Hugs (I just know she gives INCREDIBLE hugs). He drops Robin off at home with her promising to keep her walkie on their frequency. And then he goes home alone.

He tries to shower, it hurts his feet and back too much. He tries to change the “bandage” but just gently tugging almost makes him black out from pain. So he collapses on his bed and passes out.

Days go by, he’s trying to act normal, like he isn’t always running a fever and his sides are itching and starting to smell under the cologne he practically bathes in. It works for a few days at least, but Claudia gets suspicious by day 3 post earthquake when Steve shows up for lunch with flushed cheeks. 2 days later he doesn’t show up.

She drives over alone, Dustin is at the Wheeler’s, and she lets herself in with the key Steve gave her and Dustin after last summer. She calls his name, doesn’t get an answer but something smells off. She’s a nurse, she recognizes the scent of disease.

She hurries upstairs and finds Steve in bed, only wearing boxers and the filthy scrap of cloth wrapped around his stomach. He’s sweating and has vomited on himself at least twice, recently too. She immediately knows that he is what smells, she can see the pus and blood on his abdomen. He’s delirious, mumbling to himself and part of her wants to shut down and cry, to go cradle this boy, her son in all ways but blood, but she can’t. She steels herself and walks to his bedside to feel his forehead, almost recoiling from how hot his skin is.

As she keeps checking him over, she grabs the phone on his bedside table and calls 911, cradling the phone between her ear and shoulder to keep working. When the operator answers she explains who she is, where she is and what’s happening.

It’s a blur after that until she’s sitting in the hospital waiting room and she realizes that 1. her shirt and her hands reek of Steve’s blood, and 2. she’s completely alone in the waiting room. Swallowing her tears, Claudia goes over to the payphone and fishes out some coins to call the Buckely’s. Robin’s father picks up but quickly hands it over when Claudia mentions Steve.

She will never forget the choked off sound of pure distress Robin makes when she hears what’s happening.

Hours pass, Robin had arrived shortly after the call and her and Claudia have been curled up together in the waiting room every since. They haven’t called anyone else, haven’t even thought about it, too worried about Steve. Later, Claudia will remember the other kids who adore Steve, Hopper who treats Steve like a son. But in that moment, still not knowing if her boy is okay, she can’t.

Finally, a doctor steps out, clearly fresh from surgery, to speak with them. She explains that Steve had a very severe infection in multiple wounds, especially the ones on his side. They had to debride the wounds, which is what took so long. He was lucky that she found him when he did and that he hadn’t picked up any truly terrible bacteria. He hadn’t gone septic, thankfully, but he was going to be on seriously strong antibiotics for a while. She explained that he was in the ICU and they aren’t supposed to let anyone but family see him.

Claudia wanted to scream and sob and go find the Harringtons and get them to come see their son, but before she even says anything Robin explains that Steve’s parents had all but disowned him and her and Claudia were both in his emergency contacts, not his parents.

The doctor lets them see him. They have to wear face masks and gloves, but they can see him. Claudia had never seen him look so small. And there, in that ICU room, her and Robin both broke and started crying. That was how Jim Hopper found them when he arrived shortly after, the nurses having called him. He’s wearing a mask and gloves but his eyes are wild and scared. He nearly falls over when he sees Steve.

Steve is unconscious for almost two weeks, though the first four or five days or so were due to sedatives - the doctor wanted him to rest and let the antibiotics work. After he was taken off the sedatives he was moved out of the ICU, to a regular room where other people could visit. The kids came and decorated his room, even brought something Eddie had “commissioned” from Will (it looked like Steve ripping one of those creepy things from that alien movie apart, which she really didn’t get). Joyce brought him the quilt from her couch that he always enjoyed at movie nights and Robin came in every other day with his shampoo and conditioner to wash his hair for him (on days she didn’t come to wash his hair, she would come do something else with him. One day Claudia walked in on her painting his nails and her heart felt like it was melting).

The day he finally woke up was the first day Robin hadn’t been able to come. Her parents had forced her to take a break and get some sleep, so Claudia was there on her own just reading a book. She was so engrossed in it that she dropped it in shock when she heard the person on the bed in front of her make noise. Her eyes instantly went to Steve and she could see him scrunching up his face and groaning.

Claudia was by his side in a heartbeat, gently grabbing his hand and brushing a hand over his cheek, speaking softly to let him know she was there. His eyes slowly squinted open, clearly struggling to get the energy to move at all. Their eyes locked and his mouth twitched, like he wanted to smile at her. Then, as she was watching him with tears in her eyes, he opened his mouth and spoke for the first time in weeks.

“Mom….”
