[cigarettesandinevitablebetrayal]

I try so hard to play a batshit insane, embittered, morally bankrupt mass murderer but I feel so bad about it 😭 I also hope the topic of how the special directive knew that sidestep would be there will come up in-game. Logically as a reader I know that Steel wasn’t the one who called them in, but to my paranoia ridden sidestep I’d like for them to at least consider the possibility, maybe even confront them. Especially after the steel convo with the pictures, oh my god. I feel like that should have way more significance in the gameplay? It held a lot of significance for my sidestep, at least. Up to that point I had been playing as a fairly peaceful tech thief who didn’t kill anyone, vry suicidal but still kind of grasping at the hope of connecting w friends & humanity again, viewing the whole villain thing as a means to an end, not really blaming anyone for what happened to them because how could they have known? Only for Steel to basically be like ‘actually I did know but I had other priorities so I just let you rot there and purposefully didn’t tell anyone lmfaooo’ Like. Again as a reader I recognize that he thought sidestep was dead and that it didn’t matter what happened to their dead body (ouch haha so sidestep isn’t even worth a proper burial then) But as Sidestep I feel like. If I was Sidestep that would set me over the edge. Burn it all to the fucking ground and kill everyone, kind of edge. I also kind of like the irony of how Steel suspected us of being secretly evil or whatever in the past and now in the future when we’re actually evil he doesn’t suspect anything. At least that’s how I like to play it. So hard to avoid raising his sus, Sidestep BREATHES around that man and he’s like ‘I knew it you’re the new villain’ ahdjjd, even now he’s still looking for villain confirmation, it’s just that this time he’s right. But the fact that he got himself a fucking dog and was enjoying life w friends & work and healing himself and being happy and being important to the world while he left sidestep to rot away would send my sidestep into full breakdown territory because it would confirm what my sidestep was desperately trying to avoid, the feeling that they’re completely worthless even in the eyes of their former allies and that nothing they even did back as a hero mattered. The confirmation that they don’t matter, and never did. Not true of course, but it may as well be to my sidestep after that conversation lol.

I love a heel turn, especially one that feels like it's a long time coming, like you've described. That MC sounds interesting and the late twist of pushing them to the edge is fascinating.

Seongwon is my MC who believes everyone failed her. She spends so long believing everyone let her down, gave up on her, stop looking, that she's been past the edge of burning everything from the beginning. At the end of Retri, she broke down at Ortega's apartment upon the realization that Julia never gave up on her and likely never will. If she hadn't wound up stuck in her puppet and Steel had told her about the photos, I think that would have shattered the delicate faith she has rebuilt after the Ortega dinner.

Corin knows aggressively about Steel's suspicion. He's my tech thief and almost just as orange as Seongwon. He has no qualms with killing, though he doesn't actively seek it out. When he got into the crash after Hollow Ground, Steel ratted him out, told Julia everything he suspected. But Corin got lucky, convinced Julia that Steel is wrong about him - always was and always will be. Though he hates lying to Julia, he believes there's no better way. He loves her, but he can't trust her with the truth. In his eyes, that will likely never change.

Promptarchive: Little Daniel Hall loves his weird Uncle Dream and doesn't understand why he's not married. Matthew tries to change the subject to Dream's friend Hob, who has been a real life Robin Hood and that's working. Until Daniel, while sleeping, imagines a love story for his Uncle Dream. A story like Robin & Marian. No luck, the only one he vaguely remembers is the Mel Brook's movie. Then, they're all trapped into a dream until the story end.

Additional ideas: Hob as Robin, Dream as Marianne, Lucienne as Broomhilde, Alex Burgess as Prince John, Madoc as Rottingham, Corinthian as Blinkin, Gault as Little John, Jed as Ahchoo, Matthew as Will Scarlett, Mad Hettie as Latrine, Gilbert as Rabbi Tuckman

Aquatint of well-heeled bad boys Tom & Bob "Catching a Charley Napping" from Real Life in London; or, the Rambles of Bob Tallyho, Esq. and his Cousin the Hon. Tom Dashall &c. through the Metropolis; Exhibiting a Living Picture of Fashionable Characters, Manners, and Amusements in High and Low Life by an Amateur, illustrated by by Messrs Heath, Aiken, Dighton, Brooke, Rowlandson, &c.

This was a knockoff publication plagiarizing characters from the hugely popular Life in London; or, The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq., and his elegant friend, Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, the Oxonian, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis by Pierce Egan, illustrated by George and Robert Cruikshank, 1821.

See above the frontispiece from the 1823 edition of Egan's Life in London and the corresponding Finish to the Adventures of Tom, Jerry, and Logic, 1871 edition (originally published 1829). And check out the cheery row of dancing grim reaper charleys—night watchmen—at the bottom, having got the last laugh after all.

I could not find Life in London available to read online, but Gutenberg has Real Life in London (1905 edition, confusingly attributed to both Egan and the wonderfully named John Badcock—though Gutenberg notes that the actual authorship is uncertain).

I leave you with "Jerry's admiration of Tom in an 'Assault' with Mr. O'Shaunessy, at the Rooms in St James's St."

Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, March 14th

"Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall." – 1 Corinthians 10:12

It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, "I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall." "I have fervent love," says another, "I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray." He who boasts of grace has little grace to boast of. Some who do this imagine that their graces can keep them, knowing not that the stream must flow constantly from the fountain head, or else the brook will soon be dry. If a continuous stream of oil comes not to the lamp, though it burn brightly today, it will smoke to-morrow, and noxious will be its scent. Take heed that thou gloriest not in thy graces, but let all thy glorying and confidence be in Christ and his strength, for only so canst thou be kept from falling. Be much more in prayer. Spend longer time in holy adoration. Read the Scriptures more earnestly and constantly. Watch your lives more carefully. Live nearer to God. Take the best examples for your pattern. Let your conversation be redolent of heaven. Let your hearts be perfumed with affection for men's souls. So live that men may take knowledge of you that you have been with Jesus, and have learned of him; and when that happy day shall come, when he whom you love shall say, "Come up higher," may it be your happiness to hear him say, "Thou hast fought a good fight, thou hast finished thy course, and henceforth there is laid up for thee a crown of righteousness which fadeth not away." On, Christian, with care and caution! On, with holy fear and trembling! On, with faith and confidence in Jesus alone, and let your constant petition be, "Uphold me according to thy word." He is able, and he alone, "To keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy."

In Time (Corintheus fic)

Pairing: Dream of the Endless/Corinthian

Summary - Let's not beat around the bush, it's a short nsfw fic in which Dream spits on the Corinthian and steps on his dick.

Hands bound behind his back, the restraints crafted from a darkness which could never be broken outside of the will of their creator, the Corinthian gazed up at Dream with a burning expression.

Their dance was a familiar one. The Corinthian breaks Dream's rules. Dream punishes The Corinthian. The only variation coming from the style of punishment which his creator delved into, the Dream Lord's creativity at times shocking in its pleasurable cruelty.

Admirable, in a way, but the Corinthian was every inch the nightmare he was constructed to be and that included his inability to withhold the defiance which corrupted his every decision.

"Even now, bound and naked as a babe before me, you still dare to offer me noncompliance at every turn."

It was not a criticism, the contemplative tone which shrouded Dream's words making that much clear, but the Corinthian bit back a smirk of defiant pride regardless. To be honest, the cadence of Dream's words only served to distract him from the assault which he was being subjected to and he welcomed it like an old friend.

Glancing down at his bare frame, the Corinthian found his attention captured by the pale foot which bore down on his groin as an open threat; the ball of Dream's foot on his jutting shaft as the ends of his toes threatened the sensitive head of his cock.

Ordered to strip and present his hands for binding, he had complied without hesitation.

Defiant, yes.

But he was no fool and disobeying a direct order in such a way would only serve to make whatever game Dream had cooked up for him that much more difficult to win.

Still, this punishment was rather unique.

Dream's foot was cool as marble - the skin velvety and unblemished in its utter perfection - and, as the Corinthian observed it, he was struck by just how pale the skin appeared when compared to his own.

The skin which Dream had crafted him centuries before was unchanging in its hue. Years, months, even decades could be spend with him chained and exposed below the merciless sun and his skin would not darken a shade from its intended colour.

Every inch the Dream Lord's to command at a whim.

And command it he did.

"You do not deserve my touch." Dream interrupted his thoughts. "And yet, I give it. Do you know why?"

"No."

"Yes, you do."

Confused, the Corinthian held his tongue as uncertainty pricked at his bared skin.

"Deep within yourself, you understand." Dream continued. "You were created to reflect the darkness of humanity and that darkness within you was carved, piecemeal, from my own. Ask it."

His words as unflinching as his stark form, Dream brooked no disobedience in his demand of his nightmare.

"Ask it why I do this."

The Corinthian dipped his eyes low once again as a languid moan slipped free of his lips, a natural result of Dream shifting his foot against his painfully-hard length to grind it more roughly against his unprotected skin.

Vulnerability nipped him, the all-consuming presence of Dream strangling his thoughts and flooding his senses to derangement as he fought himself to consider the riddle posed.

Why does his lord treat him like this?

A fucking ridiculous question in his opinion.

Dream had ripped him from the void and molded him into existence. The Dream Lord held power over him just as he held power over the humans who served as his sustenance; their fear and flesh fulfilling him as he saw fit.

Ah.

"Because you can."

A simple answer and one which he understood, at his core, to be true as the darkness within him coiled at the recognition.

"Open your mouth, Corinthian."

Having little choice due to the harsh pull of his hair, the Corinthian complied and was immediately rewarded with the feeling of fresh moisture against his tongue as Dream tilted his head and spat directly into his mouth.

Surprise richochet through his skull like a slap. The shame of the act blending with painful arousal.

Anyone else would lose their tongue for such a thing and he would ensure that his blade moved slowly enough across the offending flesh to ensure that every agony was truly experienced.

"Swallow it."

A demand, bolstered by an additional warning of pressure on his cock, and he again complied; swallowing down his masters offering with a wide smirk.

Like the perfect creation he was.

No degradation too great for him to bear.

No shame too perverse to refuse his maker.

At the smirk, the slightest tug made itself apparent on Dream's lips and his foot resumed its earlier ministrations. The stimulation was terrible in its intensity as the pleasure of the friction only grew more heightened by the pain of the unyielding pressure.

It proved too much and, with a whining keen which was unbecoming of a nightmare, the Corinthian curled his bound fingers together as he came.

It was euphoric yet awful; the residual and degrading taste of his maker's spit against his tongue as the ball of his foot ground into his defenceless cock to trap it against his heated thighs.

A shudder wracked his kneeling frame, the burn of his scalp matching the hot shame which flushed through his chest. His release was sticky, uncomfortable, and the foot of his lord only served to spread the mess as it continued its deliberate weight against him.

"Apologies, my lo-"

"Hush now," Dream countered sternly, "and do not speak again. Already your lack of restraint has only served to make this harder on yourself and that serpentine tongue will only encourage my ire."

The Corinthian nodded but the gesture was stuttered by a low whine which broke free of his lips as the pressure on his sensitive cock notched up to an almost unbearable point. The heel which had come to replace the ball of the foot which tormented him was much firmer and, glancing up, the Corinthian could see the faintest shadow of sadistic amusement glinting back at him from within the inky gaze.

Character introduction! Marked as mature for Eldwynn's blown out chest lol

Blair Monet - FKA Elvira Harris 26, female (she/her) - born in 1873 Grew up in Canada, moved to the US to be wed at 16 (1889) Has been with the Doyle (1893-1897), O'Driscoll (several months in 1897), and Van der Linde (1897-"present"; this would be around the time she begins going by Blair) gangs since age 20. Fell in with the wrong crowd while young and impressionable and is now one of the most wanted people in the state. Despite this, she tries her best to keep her head down and not harm people. Animal lover, photographer, tailor (works at a high end shop in Saint Denis, though disguises herself as masculine due to issues with disrespect). Martha Moscato (@shinemade) is Blair's absolute best friend. Mount of choice is Johnny, a warped brindle Arabian stallion with a red mane. Secondary mount - Gran Torino, a black tovero Missouri fox trotter mare she acquired after her girlfriend, Claire, lost her life to bounty hunters. In Blair's lore, Torino passes from laminitis due to incorrect care from an unnamed source while Blair was in hiding. Tertiary mount - Heather, a buckskin Mustang mare (wild caught). Blair often describes her as responding best to "companionship, not commands". Quaternary mount - The Corinthian, a blue roan Missouri fox trotter stallion she (in her lore) acquired after Gran Torino passed. And finally, her quinary mount - Creed, a raven black Shire stallion she bought shortly after Arthur Morgan sold him to the stable in Valentine.

Harper Brahms Before I start on him - just know that his lore would be inaccurate for the time (or rather would get him killed or locked up in a nuthouse), but idc ♥ 28, male (FTM, he/him) - born in 1871 Deadname - Ruth Brooks Grew up with Blair and was a sister figure to her, but went into a deep depression when she was sent off to be married at 16. Had top surgery done by a sketchy, back alley doctor in Saint Denis at 23. Harper is now a bounty hunter on the lookout for the holy grail - Blair Monet. He has no idea who she is given her name change and drastically different appearance from when they were younger. Mount of choice is Dale, a tobiano American paint stallion. Secondary mount - Lindsay, a gray overo American paint mare.

Eldwynn Malik - the Grizzlies Leshy No age - maybe 30's for physical age? He/they pronouns Honestly don't have much lore on them. They're tall and scary lmao. Mount of choice is Polnoch', a raven black Shire stallion. Both are undead.

Vivi Mortem - FKA Hawisia Ward Age unknown - born sometime in the early 1300's. Female, she/her. She and her horse are commonly referred to as Plague & Pestilence. Hawisia took on the role of a doctor around 1349 in a desperate attempt to save people in her hometown. She was untrained and succumbed to the disease, ending up doomed to roam the streets trying to make a connection with people around her. She still believes that the plague exists due to the condition of Armadillo, though she cannot understand human speech anymore; it just sounds jumbled to her. Mount of choice - Keeper, an undead Appaloosa stallion. He was a faithful warhorse found lost and confused, just as she was. They take comfort in each other and are rarely seen apart.

GoWHEN YOU SIT STILL AND THINK OF ALL THE THINGS THAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU, WHAT DO YOU COME UP WITH.........

READ THE LIST TO SEE HOW WONDERFUL AND FULL OF MERCY GOD IS GIVING US SO MUCH FOR US TO BE THANKFUL FOR. (click the below title)

20 Reasons You Must Give Thanks To God by  EVANGELIST JOSHUA OREKHIE      

Giving thanks is not what many people do often because when they look at their lives, they believe there is nothing worth thanking God for. They convince themselves that thanking God might be right for those He has showered His blessings on, but not right for them. 

They would claim that God knew He was yet to do anything for them, so thanking Him would embarrass Him!  This is not correct.  There is no one who does not have a reason to thank God. When we can’t think, we can’t give thanks. A thoughtful person will be a thankful person. Someone complaining that he has no shoes will thank God when he sees another person without a leg!

Often times, we are ungrateful for God’s kindnesses and manifold blessings in our lives. We are so concerned about what is yet to happen that we fail to see what has happened. We remember, so constantly, answers to prayers that are yet to manifest and we forget answers to prayers we’re already enjoying. How ungrateful we are! We regularly violate God’s instruction concerning giving thanks.

Psalm 119:62                         For God’s righteous judgements

Luke 17:17-19                        For Gratefulness of his deeds

Psalm 92:1-2                          For praise and thanksgiving

1 Corinthians 4:7                   For what you have God gave

Luke 17:16                             For healings and miracles

2 Corinthians 8:16-20           For people God send to help

(The above is excerpts to read in entirety click on the above title)

CAN YOU COME UP WITH AT LEAST 20 REASON                                            TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD???

DID YOU KNOW THERE ARE MORE THAN 20 REASON NOT IN A LIFETIME BUT IN A DAY TO GIVE THANKS TO GOD.

Psalm 107:1-43  (READ IN THE ENTIRETY)                                                          O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm 86:12-14                                                                                                         I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I will glorify Your name forevermore. 13 For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

Hell of a View||Prologue

Pairing: Jax Teller x Original Female Character

Synopsis: Jax Teller, former prince of Charming, left the only life he's ever known at 18 years old, determined to honor his father's wishes and make a life for himself outside of SAMCRO. 10 years later, he is involved in a near-fatal motorcycle accident that places him in a coma. When he wakes up with severe memory loss and no recollection of the life he currently lives, his wife is left to pick up the pieces and win his heart back, and help him remember why he left the MC in the first place, despite his mind telling him to head back to Charming and to the only life he truly knows.

Loosely based on the movie The Vow.

Rating: M. Minors, don’t even think about it.

Warnings for chapter: cursing, questioning of faith and religion, mentions of a motorcycle accident, mentions of a loved one being in the hospital.

Author’s Note: Thank you guys for all of the love that you’ve shown on my little sneak peek! I’m super excited to finally be writing this - it’s several years in the making! Please note, that while I am a MAJOR Sons fan (I’ve seen it seven times all of the way through, it’s a masterpiece) this story is heavy alternate universe and out of character for some of our boys (more-so Jax than anyone else). If you’d like to be added to the tag list, please message me and I’d be happy to add you!

Song suggestion for this chapter: If Tomorrow Never Comes by Garth Brooks

••

HOSPITALS HAVE always felt similar to a place of worship for me. In my lifetime, which, albeit has not been very long, I have always seemed to do the most praying within the confines of these four walls. The invocation that I was doing at Anna Maria Memorial Hospital extended far beyond that of customary bedtime prayers to the Man upstairs.

The praying that I was doing - that I have continued to do, despite my doubts, ever since I got the call - was that of a matter of life and death.

At this point in what has been the longest day of my life thus far, I don't know if I still believe in Him - in God - enough to keep praying.

I do, however, believe in my husband. I know that he is the strongest man on the face of this Earth, despite the amount of machines that are working overtime to keep him alive.

I also believe in love.

To some, love is just a four-letter word, but to me, love means so much more. Corinthians chapter 13, verses 4 through 8 tells us that love is patient and kind. It does not envy, it does not boast; it is not proud. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails.

That though.... that's the watered-down version of what love is supposed to be. Those words are nothing but a load of fucking bullshit.

Love is complicated. It's messy, and at times, turbulent. Sometimes, love can be calm and quiet, like the stillness of morning as the world awakens for the day. Love is vulnerable, and it is showing the worst parts of yourself to someone, and having them still accept you. Love is your partner making the parts of you that you think are the most ugly, those riddled with scars, and pain, and hurt, feel beautiful. Love is the comforting, warm sensation that you get from a good glass of wine, or hearing the opening chords of your favorite song. Love is forgiving.

Love, too, can sometimes make you feel like the people that were still playing music as the Titanic began to sink. It's gorgeous, selfless, and essential, but it can be temporary and heart-wrenchingly sad, all at the same time.

Love is not perfect. It is not an illusion, and it is not smoke and mirrors. Love is flawed.

But, then again, so is life, and faith, and destiny; all of which I believe in much more than God, and prayers, and bible verses right now.

Destiny is the idea that the events in our life follow a set plan - one that has a purpose. It is a pre-determined course of events far beyond human power or control. I may not have known it then, but, I know now that I was always meant to walk into LAX at exactly 5:21 PM on the evening of May 17th, 2016 and randomly choose Sarasota, Florida as my vacation destination. It wasn't a coincidence after all that I was aboard the only plane in over two years - that's what the flight attendant for Southwest Airlines said at least - that made an abrupt landing due to mechanical issues. It was written somewhere in the stars that the state of Nevada just so happened to change their laws, and wouldn’t allow annulments of marriages until six months after the wedding date. That one, small change gave Jax and I a chance to see if we could thrive together in the real world, outside of the bubble that he and I created with one-another over those few short days in Sin City.

All of these events - these moments, these bits of high intensity that turn our lives upside down, define who we are. Each of us is the sum total of every moment that we have ever experienced with everyone that we have ever known. These moments are the ones that become our history, and these moments are the ones that lead us to our destiny. They seal our fate for how life is supposed to turn out.

But, what if you fuck up, take the path that you were never supposed to, and piss destiny off?

What happens to you then?

Jax Teller was destined to be the heir of the throne - the president of the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club. He was never supposed to leave Charming, even though that's what his late father, John Teller, wanted for him. His destiny was never supposed to include two tours in Iraq, a small beach house in Florida, his own auto body shop, and a little girl that he loves more than anyone else in this world.

Especially if it led to him laying in a hospital bed in a fucking coma.

I don't know how we are going to get through this. I don't know what I'm supposed to tell our daughter, who thinks that this man hung the moon and stars - which he did, there's no doubt it my mind that he did, especially for her. She has been wrapped around his finger since the day she was born.

I don't know how much longer he can keep holding on. I don't know how many times I can keep praying for him to wake up and squeeze my hand, just like he's done a thousand times before.

One thing I know is that at least we will get through this together, as a family. We will face this head on, as husband and wife; as Jax and Alana Teller, just like we have every other curve ball that has been thrown our way these past seven years.

Because, I also believe in us.

And that’s the most important thing I needed to believe in right now.

Prometheus x Corinthian Playlist Analysis (Part Two)

And here's part two, with the next few songs up for analysis! Let's jump right in!

Catharsis - Motionless in White

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this one. Even looking back through the lyrics now, it feels like every line has some symbolism of light/darkness or themes of transformation, which are both major themes in the fic. I'd highly recommend just taking a listen for yourself!

Notable lyrics:

Catharsis in darkness/ When you can't seem to feel a thing/ The absence that haunts you/ Won't hurt much longer - The first of many themes regarding transformation, plus the idea of it occurring in the dark. I like to think of this as Prometheus' original transformation into a dream, but it can also link back to the loss that is present in the Corruption ending

Darkest disguise/ Leave it at the door/ Bright lights divine/ Leave your body on the floor - Need I say more? Again, either the initial pull away from the darkness, or the return to the darkness present in the Corruption ending

Stand in the shadows, entertaining the unknown - This would be Prometheus, standing in the shadows and comforting random dreamers from their nightmares

HELL TO HAVE YOU - Our Last Night, Sam Tinnesz

Notable lyrics:

Then something changed/ Something hit me in the face/ I can't get you out my brain/ And I know this sounds insane/ Thinking 'bout you every night - Just like with I Like the Way, I feel like this line represents the Corinthian realizing he's fallen farther than he thought for Prometheus

I'd go through hell to have you/ You are the fire I can't lose/ You could burn my veins, I would take the pain/ I'd go through hell to have you - Obviously there is a true Hell in the Sandman series, but I'm thinking of this "hell" more as the transfer from nightmare to dream and the pain/effort it requires. This would also be Corinthian's POV, thinking about Prometheus and their fire

Villain - Halflives

How about a little angst for you, hmm? This song in particular relates to the Corruption ending, and could be seen as either Prometheus' or Corinthian's POV depending on how you read it

Notable lyrics:

But I’m not afraid at all/ I just can’t look back inside your heart right now - I feel like this one represents the Corinthian just as he's about to leave the Dreaming world for good. He's not afraid of Prometheus (or Nyx, as they've been returned to the darkness), but he knows they're lost to him and he can't afford to devote any more time to his feelings.

You’re the thorn on a rose and you make me bleed/ And your scent is a poison I like to breathe/ But I can’t look back/ I just can’t look back at you - Same thing as before, the Corinthian forcing himself to pull away after losing Prometheus in the Corruption ending

And speaking of "looking back at you", how about....

Orpheus - Sara Bareilles

Notable lyrics:

Come by the fire/ Lay down your head/ My love I see you're growing tired/ So set the bad day by the bed/ And rest a while - This would be Prometheus offering warmth and comfort to the troubled dreamers (and possibly offering comfort to the Corinthian too...)

Just stay here/ Hold me in the dark and when the day appears/ We'll say/ We did not give up on love today - Need I go on?

Don't stop/ Trying to find me here amidst the chaos/ Though I know it's blinding/ There's a way out - The "way out" of course being the shift from nightmare to dream (I feel like I'm repeating myself but honestly that's one of the core themes of the fic) and the "blinding" light being Prometheus' fire, guiding the both of them to something brighter despite the difficulty

Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks

Originally I just threw this song in here because of the "fire" themes, I wanted a little more country to match the tone of the characters (cough cough the Corinthian), and I grew up with it (whoop-dee-do I'm in the South lol). But when I actually looked into the lyrics, it fits a lot better than I thought!

Notable lyrics:

We call them fools/ Who have to dance within the flame/ Who chance the sorrow and the shame/ That always come with getting burned - I see this line as the chance that it takes for Prometheus to commit to becoming a dream - it wasn't easy, and it was a risk of everything they knew, but by "dancing within the flame" they ended up more fulfilled with their life

There's this love that is burning/ Deep in my soul/ Constantly yearning to get out of control - Just... read this one. I don't think I need to say anything that hasn't already been said.

And while we're on the topic of country...

Better Than I Used to Be - Tim McGraw

Redemption ending anyone? And the fact that it's a country song just links it even more closely - it's not just the lyrics, it's the whole tone and style of this one! Literally the entire chorus links back to it, just look:

I ain't no angel I still got a few more dances with the devil I'm cleanin' up my act, little by little I'm getting there I can finally stand the man in the mirror I see I ain't as good as I'm gonna get But I'm better than I used to be

Country songs are usually pretty cut-and-dry, without nearly as much of the poetic symbolism that some of the other songs have. But just look at this one! On-the-nose or not, it fits so well with the Redemption ending in my opinion

Thought About You - Tim McGraw

Another country song that I think works from the Corinthian's perspective, possibly thinking about Prometheus in all of these little vignettes like the fic itself.

Notable lyrics:

I thought about fire and how we walked through it/ The times I got it right, the times I blew it/ I thought about real, I thought about good, and I thought about true/ And I thought about you - I don't think I need to reiterate this one: the Corinthian thinking about Prometheus, not to mention the symbolism of fire once again

Goodbye Again - John Denver

Notable lyrics:

The stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone/ And so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come/ And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you - As dreams, they can only meet when people are asleep (at least, as long as they want to avoid Morpheus), so they have to say goodbye at the end of the night

Why do we always fight when I have to leave/ Have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know/ Some who aren't familiar with my name - I wouldn't say they "fight" all that much, but aside from that I think this line would symbolize how the Corinthian has to leave and take care of "business" (i.e., putting things in place to take care of Morpheus, like what happens in the first episode of the show)

Don't Close Your Eyes, Tonight - John Denver

Notable lyrics:

Look me in the eye, tell me what you see/ I'm the one who loves you, I'm the one who needs you/ Make this one for me - I always read this line as the very last scene in the Redemption ending. If you've read the fic, I think you know what I'm referring to. If you haven't... go read it! That's what all this has been about, after all!

Don't close your eyes tonight/ Let it be me, not just a fantasy/ Let it be me tonight - I rest my case.

Alright, gonna save the rest for at least one part, let me know what you think!

Envy Makes the Bones Rot by Charles Brooks (1795–1872)

Envy makes the bones rot — Proverbs 14:30

We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another — Titus 3:3

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy — 1 Corinthians 13:4

Having ascertained the nature and occasions of envy, it is necessary we should see its vileness, and guard against it in time.

I. Consider how little those things which most excite the envy of mankind, deserve their esteem or exertions. The chief object of envy is not superiour virtue; no, nor even the prerogatives of mind, genius, knowledge or prudence; but, mere externals: beauty, strength, riches, power, rank, dress, titles, etc. These are often obtained without our efforts and are all transitory and unsatisfying.… Cease, then, to envy what is so frail and deceptive, but regard, above all, your eternal portion.

II. Consider from what sources of delight the envious man excludes himself, and to what torments he opens his heart.… Not content with what he has, he is always disturbed at what others enjoy! How does he thus embitter the whole course of his life! He is his own greatest enemy; an industrious self-tormentor, who turns every thing into poison to himself, and is annoyed and afflicted by whatever is excellent!

III. Envious man, you act against God. By your envy, you [find fault with] his wise allotments. He determined each condition. Does it depend on any man where he shall be born, under what circumstances and connections he shall live, or what shall be the issue of his undertakings? No—It is God who fixes the sphere of duty and crowns that duty with blessings. Can you, then, wish a brother less successful without charging [God] with injustice?

IV. Envy is opposed to the spirit of Christianity, and renders a man unfit for the kingdom of heaven. Christianity is love—God is love— heaven is love—Christ’s whole ministry was love. He enjoined love as a badge of discipleship. Love to man is the second great command. Envy is opposed to love; for where envy is, there is strife and every evil work. There are no mansions in heaven prepared for the envious.

FEBRUARY 29, 2024

Renewal Brenda Brooks (Virginia, USA)

"We walk by faith, not by sight". - 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)

"In late December while I was walking our dog, I noticed the trees had lost their leaves and looked dead. I felt like those trees because I could see no evidence in my life of answered prayers. Later on, at the end of March, I observed the trees again. This time I noticed tiny buds poking out at the tips of the limbs. By the end of May the trees were covered with green leaves, ready to shade us from the summer sun.

When we don’t see evidence of God at work in our lives, we may begin to doubt God and to think nothing will ever change. In Genesis, God tells Abraham at least four times that he would give him and Sarah a son. Years go by, but the child hasn’t come. The last time God promises Abraham and Sarah a son, Sarah laughs because of the impossibility of the idea, especially at their ages. Despite their lack of faith, God reassures them: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Gen. 18:14). Sure enough, at God’s appointed time Sarah gave birth to Isaac, and they got to witness God’s turning an impossibility into a reality.

Those barren trees reassured me that God can bring renewal to what may seem dead. If God takes care of the trees, surely God will take care of our concerns as well." Renewal is always in our grasp with God. When we see things dormant and not producing any good; God is there to give a fresh start toward our goals.

TODAY'S PRAYER

"Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise that if we wait on you, we won’t be disappointed." Amen.

Hebrews 11:8-12

"8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out without knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he lived in the land he had been promised as a stranger. He lived in tents along with Isaac and Jacob, who were coheirs of the same promise. 10 He was looking forward to a city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 By faith even Sarah received the ability to have a child, though she herself was barren and past the age for having children, because she believed that the one who promised was faithful. 12 So descendants were born from one man (and he was as good as dead). They were as many as the number of the stars in the sky and as countless as the grains of sand on the seashore." Even Sarah giving birth so late in life was due to God. It was beyond the realm of possibility. But we know nothing is impossible with God. He blessed Abraham and Sarah when they were old. You find that blessing, too. Joe

Teenagers Open Heavens for Wednesday 21st February 2024 - The Gift of Gratitude

Teenagers Open Heavens for Wednesday 21st February 2024 - The Gift of Gratitude

The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Wednesday 21st February 2024 Is “The Gift of Gratitude”

Read: Psalms 103:1-5 (A Psalm of David.) Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s. Memorise: Psalm 103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

TEENS OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL Wednesday 21ST FEBRUARY 2024

When I examine the nature of human beings, I can’t but marvel at the wonders of God and how He made everyone unique with different temperaments. 1 Corinthians 12 mentions different gifts that we operate in as God’s children, while other gifts include the gifts of giving and help. While some people find it difficult to give or to help someone in need, others do it effortlessly because that is how they are wired. The same goes for the gift of gratitude, which I noticed in the life of King David. Right from his teenage years, while rearing his father’s sheep, he expressed constant gratitude to God everywhere he went. When the Ark of Covenant was brought into Jerusalem, he danced so much that his wife mocked him for dancing shamelessly in front of the people, however, David counted it as an honour to God. No wonder God had mercy on him and referred to him as ‘a man after my heart.’ Being grateful from a young age is an advantage because elders in Yoruba land say, “When a fellow doesn’t give thanks for the goodness done to him yesterday, it is synonymous with robbery.” Have you been robbing God and people by failing to show gratitude? PRAYER POINTS: Write a ‘thank you’ note to at least three people who helped you this week. HYMN 11: O LORD MY GOD, WHEN AM IN AWESOME WONDER 1. O lord my God! When am in awesome wonder, consider all The worlds thy hands hath made I see the stars, I heard the rolling thunder Thy pow’r thro’ out The universe displayed CHORUS Then sing my soul, My savior God to thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art! Then sing my soul, My savior God to thee; How great Thou art! How great Thou art! 2. Then through the woods And forest glads I wander, And hear the birds Sing sweetly in the tress; When I look down From lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook And feel the gentle breeze; 3. And when I think That God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die I scare can take it in; That on the cross, My burden gladly bearing, He bled and died To take away my sin. 4. When Christ shall come With shout of acclamation And take me home, What joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow In humble adoration And there proclaim, My God how great Thou art!
