#divine distinction

[lounaticm]

Finally got around to making a base for reference sheets of all my Seraphim boys, so. Here they are~

Plus, went ahead and drew up my design for Bimmy boy~

(No, I promise they aren't all going to be black. 😅 But... still a few more of them are going to be, since so many Egos wear or are associated with black. I'll see about drawing up a more colorful one next lol)

#honestly tho dimitri and alfred becoming friends is just the best vibe and I love them both #their designs are similar but in a distinct way and play off each other well #anyway #I love them #they are my blorbos #just little guys #alfred #dimitri #fire emblem #alfred fire emblem #dimitri fire emblem #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #creativesplat draws #fire emblem engage #fire emblem three houses #alfred doing Dimitri's hair and talking to him about how he knows what to do because of Celine and alear (blue being the bedhead side) and #then they get onto the topic of alear and he talks about his badass dragon wife #and that gets dimitri to talk a little bit because he has a badass divine wife to - no not a dragon but has a goddess inside her #Byleth... oh I knew a byleth! Emblem byleth #and then the conversation really gets going #also dimitri and alfred gardening but dimitri eats weeds and alfred is like is this your power? is this why you have muscles?? #f!alear #f!byleth #byleth #alear

do you guys remember that era where harry potter was treated near universally in pop culture as this Work of Genius That Imparts Incredible Moral Wisdom. that was fucking insane I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anything being treated quite like it

#harry potter tw #i was reminded of this today and its INSANE?? jkr was treated as this divine genius almost #im really having trouble thinking of anything that was treated as even vaguely similar to it. what the hell was that era of pop culture #theres been other extreme fads around media franchises but i feel like. hp reached a level of mytholization distinct from anything else #does anyone else have examples of this?

[thedragonagelesbian]

somehow gale's ac is 19 at level 4. i don't know how we got here.

#the faux arcane archer build is a lot of fun actually. completely non-canonical. but fun #also really enjoying shadowheart as an oath of ancients paladin (+ a lil bard dip for more utility spells & healing word) #its distinct enough from the cleric play style while still able to handle most of the healing #and ancient's level 1 channel divinity is shockingly good. bonus action group heal from level 1???? yes please

I want to do a terror boy dick ranking so bad but I can't be trusted to be unbiased with the full and complete knowledge that crozier's hung as fuck

#of course there's a distinct possibility he wouldn't win best in show #but he CERTAINLY wins best in old man #and like not to objectify victorian sailors on main but like. it's worth a think innit? #I am the dickspert (dick expert. if you will). surely I can divine these things

OK so I used to think that Catholics thought Mary was super cool because being Jesus’ (earthly) mother was a huge responsibility and she must have really been Something and I would joke about them thinking she was like a fourth member of the trinity but like… do they actually think she’s basically God’s wife and is up there next to God

Like the angels are all singing “holy holy holy” in the divine throne room and Mary’s just chilling right there next to God?

That would simultaneously explain how weird about her they are and also make the weirdness far weirder to me

#the whole Queen of Heaven thing is… #not a little strange #like Oh OK that is maybe actually a distinct religion that is alien to me after all #I'm having echoes of the Taiping Rebellion where the guy was like 'hey I'm Jesus' brother' #just a whole divine family up there

does anyone have tips for how to deal with the phenomenon of 'autistic need to sort and hypercategorize things, except that there are multiple different axes by which to sort them and you can't use them all at the same time, and the result is overwhelm and distress?'

i've learned that tagging systems help, at least, but sometimes they uh. sometimes they can only go so far

#whosebaby talks #whosebaby makes things #whosebaby does game dev #ttrpg tag #i first wrote up that nightmare of tags when i only had three or four hacks in progress lmfao #looking at it now there are some i think i could narrow down a bit but it still makes me itchy #and with how much bleed and overlap there tends to be with different hacks and systems #it can be really inconvenient and disruptive to separate them completely for ones that have multiple drafts and test run docs #the tagging system i use on here is pretty damn loose by my usual standards but keeping track of game dev in the way i do it #kind of needs a lot more careful distinction and along multiple axes #the alternative is pretty much just one big soup which works *okay* but can still be overwhelming and a hassle to keep up with #anyway this is not remotely the only thing this applies to and Suffering Squirtle especially when urge to sort physical objects #and it's also annoying when it's something harder to quantify like #'i'm genuinely really having fun with this test scene/campaign and want to continue it' vs 'ehn. don't mind not picking this one back up' #sighs #also yeah i have. i have a lot of balls in the air here lmao #this doesn't include the i think like 5-10 docs i made on gdrive before i switched to the notes app because the formatting sucked to use #and the above folders also don't include things like the divination stuff i've made #me with nerve damage that makes handling physical tarot cards painful; making a dice table instead: try and stop me asshole #is there a name for that tag

[thisgodwontforgiveyou]

theres kind of no compelling reason to be an arcane type spellcaster that isnt a bard or a wizard in 5e

#obviously bards can do all the important divine type spells. i mean 5e removed the distinction but you still have to be a holy type guy to #heal ppl unless youre wonderful charming silly cutey bard :) #DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS FUCKING SUUUUUUUUUCKS

In all of [your suffering] there [may indeed be] a severe chastening for [some sin], and [your conscience may be painfully aware of] it. Yet God [does] not forsake [you] during this time of chastening. He [is] there for [you] at this time also. He [is] not out to destroy [you,] but to correct [you].

#i needed to hear this so badly tonight #god has not abandoned you #david guzik #god chastises those he loves #humility #this is a vital distinction #a vital reminder #this is very relevant to my life lately #sin #the wages of sin is death #divine mercy #do not despair #conscience #guilt

I submitted the Star Princesses from Pretty Cure. Did they make it in? I submitted them before the groups rule was clarified, but they don’t really have distinctive personalities, if that affects your decision. (Unless we’re counting their former 13th member, who was kicked out, but I personally wasn’t counting them)

Ah, I see. If that's the case, then I suppose they would qualify! I'll add them to the potential competitors list.

#if they dont really have distinct personalities then yeah theyre more of just a group than individuals who belong to a group #thanks for clarifying! #message from the prophets #not divine matchup #star princesses #pretty cure

It's been a strange year. Could do with a bit of the ol' tarot if you're offering.

cow reversed. you cannot pour from an empty cup. let others pour for you.

#ask #anon #tarot #oracle #to be clear this is not a Tarot deck bc tarot refers to the arcana cards #this is an oracle deck which means its non tarot cards used for divination #no one cares about the distinction unless they are too deep in the magic #like me :)

[charle1515]

don’t let me design game mechanics. I’ll take some simple game loop and just add 20 sub-rules that are completely unnecessary and complicate things to an unreasonable degree

#charle rambles #me designing a mod: 'ok so you got a religion that helps you rebuild your god' #BUT THEN halfway through it schisms into three different factions #AND those factions are distinct and have their own abilities #BUT you NEED them because their views on divinity are incomplete on their own but combined actually reveal what is truly divine

"Hey-hey." Pats the flustered and defeated goddess on the shoulder. "What do you think about being the caterer for a happy couple's meal, sweetheart~?"

"...You're going to eat me again, aren't you?"

"Y'know I only have so many extra bodies I can project my consciousness into..."

"Just get it over with."

(( Anyhow, I just realized that I’ve never talked about this on here before, but: the noodle I always put in front of merfolk eyes is an organ that they have specifically to remove salt from their bodies! It’ll come out as a kinda extra-goopy and extra-salty tear and, yes, it is what’s being made when Miranda cries! 

She still has to remove that salt semi-regularly though, and if it’s uncleaned it can form a crust around the eyes... But, because merfolk have hands and also dignity, they’ll usually just wipe it away and clean their faces, no big deal. Underwater it’s not as much of an issue either, since it’s easily washed away.

They can also forcibly “sneeze” that salt-goop out if they so want, and while this effectively does nothing underwater, it does mean merfolk can sneeze extra salt in people’s faces if they want. It’s a bit like spitting in someone’s face, though. Rude.

#Most secret royal advisor || OOC #Given by Divine Right || Headcanons #(( its distinct from the oil that encases their eyes but also it does help maintain the eye-lubrication too #(( the sneezing is based on penguins. who are jackasses and will not care if its impolite #(( tempted to put cries in scare quotes #(( just because... crying is very much a human-specific gesture of emotional distress #(( merfolk dont really. cry. hell i think humans are the only animal that cries in the way we do. #(( miri just cries because she's been surrounded by landfolk and thus picked up on the fact #(( that if she wants people to take her distress seriously she has to mock-cry

I got to hold a 500,000 year old hand axe at the museum today.

It's right-handed

I am right-handed

There are grooves for the thumb and knuckle to grip that fit my hand perfectly

I have calluses there from holding my stylus and pencils and the gardening tools.

There are sharper and blunter parts of the edge, for different types of cutting, as well as a point for piercing.

I know exactly how to use this to butcher a carcass.

A homo erectus made it

Some ancestor of mine, three species ago, made a tool that fits my hand perfectly, and that I still know how to use.

Who were you

A man? A woman? Did you even use those words?

Did you craft alone or were you with friends? Did you sing while you worked?

Did you find this stone yourself, or did you trade for it? Was it a gift?

Did you make it for yourself, or someone else, or does the distinction of personal property not really apply here?

Who were you?

What would you think today, seeing your descendant hold your tool and sob because it fits her hands as well?

What about your other descendant, the docent and caretaker of your tool, holding her hands under it the way you hold your hands under your baby's head when a stranger holds them.

Is it bizarre to you, that your most utilitarian object is now revered as holy?

Or has it always been divine?

Or is the divine in how I am watching videos on how to knap stone made by your other descendants, learning by example the way you did?

Tomorrow morning I am going to the local riverbed in search of the appropriate stones, and I will follow your example.

The first blood spilled on it will almost certainly be my own, as I learn the textures and rhythm of how it's done.

Did you have cuss words back then? Gods to blaspheme when the rock slips and you almost take your thumbnail off instead? Or did you just scream?

I'm not religious.

But if spilling my own blood to connect with a stranger who shared it isn't partaking in the divine

I don't know what is.
