@winniemaywebber here’s the quote from the book + another section for context because it wouldn’t fit in one reply :)

— — — — —

In the Air Force, a flyer wanted to be "hot." He wanted to be able to handle his liquor and his women. When he got his picture taken, he wanted to look like a rock," short for "hot rock." When a rock went into the air and put on his radio headset, the stiff top of his hat kept his headset from fitting close to his ears. So out came the stiff wire circular grommet.

It never went back in, and the hat with the "hundred mission crush" was born. The more disreputable the hat, the better for the rock.

…

Back at the hotel I went into the bathroom. Buck naked, I stood before the mirror. I put the hat on. I tried it at several angles, over one eye and then the other. I pushed it back, with just the appropriate carelessness.

"Crosby," I told myself, "you are a rock."

Harry Crosby in his memoir, A Wing and a Prayer

#EDIT I ADDED A PICTURE OF CROSBY #I literally screamed when this scene came on like actually the face they included it had my dying #harry crosby #mota #part 6 #Harry Crosby is a dork #but we love him anyway #Buck naked you say? #I feel like there’s a joke to be made there about Buck/Bucky lol #mota spoilers #masters of the air #mota musings #a wing and a prayer #quotes

genuinely these panels are going to make me ugly cry

#i'm not back for real yet i think i want to stay away longer. i'm just here to put more things in the queue and answer messages #i really enjoyed trimax vol 4 idk something about it was less miserable than 1-3 #might have been the first volume that i wasn't grimacing the entire time i read it. or maybe i'm just desensitized now. #unironically this prayer is soooo beautiful to me. give us this day our daily bread. not bread for the week not bread for a year #just enough for today. #lately when i've been praying it just looks like #please for the love of god please please please please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPL #things are not looking good for the community house.. lots bureaucracy with the city. and the church that funded us is falling apart #i don't know what i'm going to do if we get shut down it's the one thing in my life that's worth anything #all those kids... where are they going to go. who is going to help them. where is the neighborhood going to get their food. #in two days it will be the anniversary of [REDACTED] and i am so so so scared #just sat in my room today and fruitlessly scrolled thru jobs im not qualified for & tried not to think about thinking about killing myself #i don't WANT to kill myself i don't want to think about it i hate thinking about killing myself i will never ever kill myself or even try #but there is a demon or perhaps a ghost or evil wizard that tells me there's an easy way everything can go away. and it's A STUPID. BITCH. #please do not reply to this post i know you all mean well but i just don't think i can handle it. #talking about it i mean. and hearing people say nice but empty things. #i just wish i had someone to sit next to me. #personal #i don't want to go to church tomorrow :( it all feels so fake and i do not ever feel fed.

Stop over spiritualizing everything as a "battle" against the "forces of evil" or I am going to beat you with my fists, and unlike the nebulous authority and power you attribute to demons, I can assure you my fists are very present and actively intent on stopping this rhetoric

#franposting #this is unfair of me perhaps but also I'm so. goddamn tired of this shit #kaddison drop the full ulis prayer of compassion bc i sure af need to adapt it to my own life #also like #fuck off the entire concept of church militant or spiritual warfare #it aint a battle folks. its a done deal. its won. be joyful. love deeply. #stop it with fearmongering and cowardice and guilt tripping oh my GOODNESS #everyday is more devout and apparently that means more radical #i am. so so soooo tired #anyway its the universalist in me!!!! #also stop attributing evil to outside forces like #nah babes that shit is from YOU. we choose evil. we have the capacity for such goodness and such evil inside us #thats sin! its not some big scary battle #except with yourself maybe. #i will never ever forgive what the west post reformation has done to the concept of the devil #MANICHAENISM 2.0??? #get that shit outta here. its about internal struggle. regardless of what we want to say about the source of it all #fundamentally. we have to look ourselves in the mirror and ask who we are goinf to be and how we are going to act #YES IM TIRED AND CRANKY AND WEEPY AND MY HEAD HURTS. WHAT ABOUT IT

“we catholics have to convert protestants because it’s a Worse Brand of christianity” “i (an evangelical) think a lot of catholics are actually going to hell” “the Bible is so clear that homosexuality is a sin” “the Bible isn’t up for interpretation just read it” “modesty is only to prevent the unfortunate visual men from stumbling”. let’s all get offline, touch Creation and pray. okay?

#queer christian #christianity #and i know i’m being a hypocrite here #but do we hear ourselves?? #we’re being so judgemental and hateful in the Name of God and that’s not what we should be doing #what about cute prayer activities?? or ways to worship you may not have considered?? #i get that intellectualism can be a form of worship. HOWEVER. it should not come at the expense of love #and i don’t know how to block tags on ig and i do like some christian stuff but it’s the comments and some videos and ughhhhh #we shouldn’t be encouraging division in the church. #we shouldn’t be criticising people for things out of their control (bodies/sexuality and more) #like i am saying it to myself as well as everyone else: touch grass. get offline. look at how lovingly God created the trees #just as lovingly he created you AND EVERYONE ELSE

[chilapis]

I should mention I actually fell asleep at a relatively reasonable time (1 AM) for once in my life.

#staying awake til 4 am on average vs crashing and dying involuntarily on the one night i’m supposed to be helping this one guy. amazing. #it’s okay he didn’t message me after my last emoticon/react so nothing is lost. I expect to hear from shortly and if I don’t I’ll just call. #I know I was jesting about my friends in the ask but I’m. actually worried for these people (<- woman who shows affection through concern.) #also before anyone says that I can’t just expect him to message or this or that. listen. #I literally sent him a good luck message yesterday and then had to leave for a bit. #and when I came back i had 2 missed calls and 5 messages including one calling it an emergency. #and then i found out about the Horrors of their situation. #i think i reserve the right to ​reach out/be updated. #last night i think the last thing we discussed was him doing one of our mutual friends’ assignments?? who just went to bed ? #i love my friends. #i think the funniest part is him continuously telling me to pray for him as if my prayer will somehow Do something that his cannot. #my brother in arms . please do not do this in the 2nd year #🥀

i know i need to shut up abt it esp bc i don’t know for sure if i actually got exposed to covid but like. it’s just so fucking frustrating and terrifying. not just in the case of covid but with other things too like driving. you can take every precaution to keep yourself and the people around you safe but all it takes is one selfish careless asshole who can negate that in a heartbeat and ruin your life or maybe even end it in some circumstances. lol

#purrs #ask to tag #complete and utter despair about it all. i feel like such a freak for telling everyone to be safe and be careful all the time but this world #is so fucking scary and we are so fucking helpless. how can i not cast out this desperate fucking plea. this prayer. that harm will not #befall you even if it’s something as small as a drive to the store or a trip to a new place. i just live in fear of the people i love #getting hurt all the time and of myself getting hurt. and covid is fucking scary because we still don’t fuckng know how bad it is really or #what it can do to you in the long term and there’s no way to know if you have it until you find out you have it bc this fucking nightmare #country gutted all the covid infrastructure so it’s like. it’s just really bad. im so scared. ive been so proud of myself lately bc i feel l #like even though im still not doing great ive been less miserable and anxious like a couple months ago i was having breakdowns almost daily #and i feel like ive been getting better and this just has thrown me so bad. there are other things going on too ofc so i know im reacting #really strong but like. throwback to all the asks i just answered where anons were like idk how you even function witb the amount of anxiety #you carry with you all the time and i was reading that like but not anymore! and it turns out… no it’s still there. it just was summer and #i interacted with fewer people and went almost nowhere. and now the semester is starting again and everything is changing and it’s just. bad #also addendum to the first part of my tags: i wish i was brave enough to ask ppl to like. text me when they get to their destination safe or #whatever. i almost never think of it bc it just seems like such a forward boundary crossing thing to do + it was a bad habit from when my #separation anxiety was MUCH worse as a kid. but like… i want o do it and sometimes i need to but i repress it so hard. lawl #also to say i love you sometimes. some ppl it’s really easy and we do it all the time. others i can’t bc it crosses boundaries and it #physically hurts not to. lolll

[mazojo]

Can you tell their love language is physical touch?

#ugh rin is here now we’ll get all the I can fix him posts 😭 /j #I say /j but I lowkey am not AKSJSKWKK Rin is okay but he can be mad annoying sometimes like he is my child but like stfu sometimes #haven’t seen him in a while tho good to see emo boy ig #AnYWAYS BACHIRA AND ISAGI AM I RIGHT FELLAS? #they are so clingyyyy I love them #bachira #isagi #blue lock #anime #also besties all my football enjoyers tomorrow we join in prayer circles for Argentina okay? okay !!!!

Saw your "Essek is like Hux 2 me" realization and I'm someone who loves the purple guy but even though I don't feel the same way this is the most delightfully wild and fascinating take on him that I've ever seen. You are the most interesting hater in the world

i dont mean personality wise, essek has yet to perform space nazism and hux is devoid of personality. but reaction wise+direction of character in the story+fanon wrapping the character................................. i am the spy ig

#like i saw the most fascinating post saying 'i love how caleb and essek healed together' and i have to ask. what did essek heal from #diversity wins the privileged cocky smart drow guy is. still that? has a boyfriend now? #and it just reminded me of hux back in the day. and his cat #and people after tfa insisting hes important to the story so we're gonna shove him randomly in places from now on #and then we end up with. im the spy #idk. thots and prayers #ask #anon

Crazy to me that people want to cast sorceries in Elden Ring without the staff. You simply do not have a wizard's temperament.

#me vs elden ring #don't get me wrong the diversity of casting methods with incantations is really cool #and I get *why* it's more exciting. Love the dragon incants love the frenzy stuff. More meh on a lot of the lightning #but I get why that's cooler to a lot of folks. There's a lot more *weight* to incantations. But there should be! #Incantations are a prayer made real. A miracle. A manifestation of devotion to a higher power and having that devotion answered #I mean sure sorceries could use a bit more diversity in their casting methods. I guess. #but I say that and I think we should get fancier wand work or something. #do you really want to move your hand back and forth to do glintstone pebble? Idk it just doesn't appeal to me. #Now what we *could* use is some melee casting weapons or more viable attacks for staves like the spinning weapon on the Regal Scepter #the carian sword sorceries do a lot to make the staff more active and I quite like how it is #it's fitting to me that sorcery is more basic and direct and that there are similar iterations of the same basic concepts #because it is a studied/created discipline. #and I guess bloodborne did star magic with very unique casting methods and animations but that's also like. #Idk in bloodborne it's really closer to incantations because you're tapping into a higher power you can barely understand #not casting a spell but *making* the objects you're using do what they do and barely able to control it #sorcerers in dark souls and elden ring *are* the masters studying and channeling the cosmos with control #explicitly in ways that *are* defined and understood while incantations don't necessarily need logic or explanation. #anyway I will always be a staff lover #actually quite liked using wands in demon's souls

Once again I am Feeling The Guilt Complex about the fact that I cannot fast or my brain will go even more insane and tell me to [redacted] which is a perfectly legitimate health reason not to fast, esp for a /suggested/ not mandatory day of fasting. And yet! And yet! BC it's an entirely mental problem (i.e. nothing actually bad will happen to my body if I fast) it feels like cheating. ONCE AGAIN THIS IS RIDICULOUS

#the duality of fran #this is an even sillier thing to be upset about #when im kinda meh about the whole concept of prayer and fasting for peace anyway #like not that i think its bad or anything #but because idk reparative prayers dont really work for me theologically speaking #prayer as something to change the heart of the person not to change the will or heart of god. yknow? #it doesnt matter if god hears us. really. its much more important that we listen to the voice of the divine #yes yes im oversimplifying #im not saying it's bad!!! it's good!!! #its just extra stupid that im feeling guilty about smthn im not even particularly committed to the idea of anyway #im much more drawn to asceticism in the personal monastic way. the individual discernment of it #the individually chosen piety and devotion. out of love yknow. the way chesterton frames st francis. yknow? #anyway that's just me #the point is my brain is insane and if i screw up my eating and snack schedule my brain will tell me to kms #its like clockwork. everyone at work laughs bc i literally am in the work kitchenette eating my snack at the same time everyday #and its the same snack everyday. plain yogurt with frozen stberries and homemade granola. every day!!

I finally read the Rogue One novelization, and I'd like to have words with Mr. Alexander Freed about my emotional well-being after finishing this book.

#rogue one #rogue one novelization #my expectations were already high and he exceeded them #getting to know more about this cast of characters was amazing and just made me cry even more #k2 deciding to simulate a scenario where cassian lives?? #bodhi getting ready to go save jyn and cassian?? #jyn saying cassian was the most beautiful person she ever known?? #baze finding conviction in chirrut's prayer?? #a punch to the gut all of them #and I loved the extra communications we got between different people #star wars

[rapha-reads]

I finished my thesis and submitted it.

My country has lived a catastrophic event and the tragedies are piling up.

I still haven't found a flat and staying up in a hostel.

Some countries are burning, others are flooding, others are shaking.

I haven't had a real meal in two weeks, living off sandwiches and take out because I don't have access to a kitchen.

The inequalities between rich and poor, well-off and miserable are getting bigger and bigger.

I've had little sleep and little stability in weeks or even months.

Solidarity and kindness must prevail. It must.

#the final crux of my thesis was about kindness. i wrote 50k words on beauty and the beast/fantasy to finish with #kindness is the heart of everything and we should all be kinder to one another because that's the only thing that can save us #a friend of mine back in morocco is spending every minute organizing collects and aid campaigns to help out #i wrote to her and asked her how i could help. she said 'keep the country in our prayers' #it made me cry #who prays for the ones who pray for everyone else? #another friend just wrote me to congratulate me on finishing the thesis and saying she was praying for morocco #so many people have written me to ask me if my family was safe and that they were thinking of my country #it makes me cry #because the world is not all black. light perseveres. kindness and hope and love persevere.
