A Sermon

Hello Internet people :) 

I made a sermon speech for Joseph Seed that I wrote in an unpublished fanfiction of mine. I’d love to get some feedback on my writing. So here’s an excerpt. 

When Joseph Seed himself entered the chapel, everyone took a spot on the pews. John joined the couple briefly, directing them to the front line of seats where Victoria had the best view of their leader. The benches were as uncomfortable as they appeared, much to her dismay. 

The Baptist then took his spot close to his brother alas in the shadows.

A glance in the opposite direction confirmed that the oldest Seed sibling had joined the party at some point. As always he observed the audience with an unreadable expression on his face, leaning against the wall. Their alleged sister was present as well, gliding around the floor like a fairy with her bare feet and lace dress. She eventually stopped close to John, smiling serenely to herself. 

Full house, huh.

Holly, unbothered by the sudden shift in the air of the church, waved a teenager over, named Linny. Two more women joined them on the bench. Sara and Eve, Holly introduced. Victoria’s eyes lit up upon seeing Sara, a timid-acting blonde. Both greeted her.

Well, look who it is. She seems unharmed, physically. But where are her friends?

For John it was a delight, seeing the guest (he secretly believed he brought in with an approach his brother was content with) within the group of sisters like she already belonged. She needed to feel welcomed with the help of the sisters, and Joseph’s inspiring words would do the rest to bring the lost sheep in.   

Joseph stepped behind the pulpit and immediately any kind of conversation ended. Anticipation lingered in the air. It was a different feeling than his sermon at the Teller Ranch, inside a makeshift tent out in the open. 

The ‘Father’ opened his bible and began with a strong voice:

“Good morning, my children. Thank you all for coming together this Sunday morning as He has intended. As we must not quit meeting together, as some are doing. No, we need to keep on encouraging each other. Strengthen our faith in this Project. This becomes more and more important as you see The Day getting closer. 

We stand on the edge of a great chasm. Below us is the fate of mankind. Humanity has grown numb to the machine of strife that it has created, but we cannot let ourselves get distracted. 

God has punished mankind in the past, having world relations, not unlike ours. Let’s think back to the days before the Great Flood: They ate and drank, men married and women were being given in marriage until the day Noah and his family stepped inside the ark. And they took no note until the Flood came and swept them all away. Noah preached them the word of the Lord, yet they chose to ignore it in their indifference.” 

He made an artistic break before he continued with another example from the scripture.

“Remember what occurred in the days of Lot - they were the same as the people in the days of Noah - they ate, drank, planted, harvested, married - until the day Lot went out of Sodom, forewarned by god’s celestial creations. It rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all. 

Take this as a warning!

Don’t be like those sinners, my children, don’t be like Lot’s wife who turned her back just before the finish line despite the angels' warnings, missing her chance of a better life, because she did not listen and did not have enough faith and lost her life in the process. 

We must be obedient to the word of the Lord instead, for the Great Collapse is very close. 

We and we alone have been chosen to survive this calamity and rebuild.” 

His gaze wandered over the congressional until their eyes locked for a brief moment. Victoria raised her eyebrow. A touch of a smile grazed Joseph’s lips as he continued in a softer but still firm tenor, not breaking eye contact for what felt like forever.

“Yet there are other sheep that are not yet of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen for I am the messenger of God. So there will be one flock, one shepherd to guide them through the times ahead. In every walk of life, in every class, in every home - be that home in the field, forest, or town - we will find brothers and sisters of like mind, for we are them and they are us. Be messengers to those, spread the truth, let’s save them from themselves, and help in the glorious purpose of guiding them to repent atonement, and finally, salvation. To return them to the angels they once were. And those having insight will shine as brightly as the expanse of heaven, and those bringing the many to righteousness like the stars, forever and ever.”

Joseph’s face hardened.

“Yet, the messengers are attacked for delivering bad news, people will tell you everything and anything. Because I am the bearer of bad news, and as you spread my word to the world they will do the same to you. We need to ignore the slander. You need to believe me, to follow me. For those who have attended our congregation for the first time - I beseech you to join me, to join us, to join our family. You are not here by chance. You have finally seen the light that you were seeking. You are a beacon that only needed divine fire to light up the path. The light is shining now on you, in you. You are chosen. You can belong to the next world. You just need to accept me, accept us.”

Victoria shuddered. The Father held his hand out toward the audience, making sure to include the already established people of his church. 

“This … light will protect us from doubt. Don’t let doubt fill your heart. For my heralds and I will take care of you. Brother John will listen to your confessions to stay sacred, and when all becomes too much Faith will comfort you and give you peace. And Brother Jacob will make you strong of heart, mind, and soul. Our world is not one of greed and selfishness anymore, it is now ruled by brotherhood and unshakable faith - strong enough to overcome anything thrown our way.

Today I bring wonderful news - the Lord has sent a message and assured us victory - the sign for the promised victory against the harbinger of doom has already arrived - so we can finally march to Eden’s Gate together, our paradise. Everything will fall into place very soon, they will see and open the seal as He intended. And we will be ready - for we are prepared for the tremor to come. We are a Family. I am your Father and you are my children.”

Joseph closed his eyes and started to hum a familiar tune. 

The people stood up from the pews, tuning in. Victoria stayed glued to her spot as they sang Amazing Grace, an unfamiliar wave of dread washed over her.

The Father sang the last verse alone, his voice like liquid gold. The sun crept through the window behind him, hitting him just right. He looked scarily divine.

“Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

 That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.”

❇

Victoria stared into nothingness, the corner of her mouth twitching. 

She looked up, meeting Joseph’s stare head-on. He smiled.

"You went against your word and defied our contract! In doing so, you brought the chaos of your world into mine! I will not abide it!" - Raphael (Baldur's Gate, 2023)

#raphael #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #raphael bg3 #raphael baldur's gate 3 #games #bg3gifs #okay one of the things i love is how if you do the team raphael route and sign the contract and choose to break it #all of this sounds SO much more personal #like kudos to Andrew Wincott... Raphael just sounds so angry and dissapointed #like he's not being smug or smarmy for the most part #which is pretty damn rare already #when he pops in and says “You?!” it's with such utter disbelief #like he genuinely didn't think you'd ever even consider doing such a thing when he has been actualy pretty truthful #he just operates LIKE THAT because as Korilla mentions “he's the devil! It's his nature!” #i LOVE that #like that third line? when he says “littlle mouse” it just sounds SO dissapointed #i just love how layered and they wrote the characters #anyway don't worry booboo i'll do a save file where tav doesn't break your black heart

being dissapointed abt ur fav tv show not being just like u wanted doesnt make u a bad person. however, bullying kids online bc a universal story isn’t told exactly how u imagined it does make u a bad person. hope this helps.

thinking about the possibility of belos ending up in the inbetween realm after being stomped and finally getting what he deserves... 

[ ID: A digitally illustrated comic mainly featuring Philip Wittebane from The Owl House. The first panel on the first page is a birds eye view of the inbetween realm, with cubes floating everywhere and a slight disturbance in the water below. The second panel is a close up of that disturbance, which looks to be a whirlpool of some sorts. The third panel follows that, and Philip’s hand is shown forming on the water, with a ““splat” beside it. The fourth panel is a behind view of Philip kneeled over, head to the ground and face obscured. He is in his human form, like how he is seen in Elsewhere and Elsewhen, and is breathing heavily. The fifth panel is still of Philip kneeling, except he has popped up his head and is looking around. He asks, “What is this” but is then promptly cut off by the next panel, which shows a grimwalker hand rising out from the water with a splash. He looks at this with a confused look.

The first panel on the second page is a close up of Philip’s face, a concerned and fearful expression on his face. He blurts out the word “No”. The second panel is spliced into three pieces, and each shows more dead grimwalkers rising from the water. The first shows another hand, the second a fully formed grimwalker with a broken mask crawling towards and reaching out to Philip, and the third yet another hand. The third panel is of Philip trying to back away by crawling while more grimwalker hands shoot up around him. He shouts at them, “G-Get Away!” The fourth panel is a view of Philip crawling back from behind, and a head of a grimwalker can be seen behind him. He yells again, saying, “I said-” but is cut off by the fifth panel where the grimwalker behind him suddenly grabs his arm. The sixth panel is of him looking over his shoulder, surprised. The seventh panel is an above shot of Philip sitting on the water, grinwalkers surrounding him and grabbing each of his limbs. The water swirls below him in a whirlpool motion. He shouts, “Get off me!! Go!!” The eighth panel is a closeup shot of an arm grabbing his shoe and pulling him down, the ninth panel showing the fear in his eyes.

The first panel on the third page is a wide shot of Philip being dragged down under the water, his arm straight up desperately trying to grab something. The water cascades around him, pushing him down even more. The second panel is a closeup of Caleb’s eyes, which are glaring with anger. The third panel is a below view of Philip being dragged down, with Caleb’s hand still tightly grasped around his foot. The fourth panel is a closeup of Philip’s eyes, which are staring in fear. The fifth panel is from Philip’s POV, where Caleb is seen still pulling him down by his ankle, glaring at him. Other grimwalkers are beside him, hands reaching up towards Philip to also help drag him down.

The first panel on the fourth and last page is of Philip being dragged down, a fearful and almost angry expression on his face. He screams, “Caleb! Let-” but does not finish his sentence. The second panel is of Caleb still glaring at him, not saying a word. The third panel is Philip looking at his brother with an unreadable expression on his face, as though he just realized something. The fourth panel is an above shot of Philip finally being dragged down into the depths Dr. Falcilier style, arm out stretched and he sinks. Broken masks of grimwalkers can be seen below him, pulling him down too. The last panel shows the surface of the water in the inbetweens realm, the surface still and finally tranquil. The word “Fin” is written at the bottom of the page. End ID. ]

[Image I.D.: A digital painting of Franziska von Karma from Ace Attorney. She is in the center of the painting, facing the viewer and clutching her bloody right shoulder with her left hand. Half of her face is painted, and we can see she's looking up and just slightly off-center, a determined but calm expression on her face. Two silhouetted Franziska-like figures are painted behind Franziska, only half of both are visible as they are cut off by the edges of the painting. The figure on the left is blue, and the one on the right is red. /end I.D.] written by @poptartmochi , thank you!!!

chat, is this real? (god i wish it wasn't.)

so uh. according to this thread its very possible that Level-5 is using ai art. thats fucking fantastic. thanks guys. definitely not a spit in the face to your fans who've loved you for years for your unique art direction. no. not at all :) /VERY SAR

it doesn't matter if they're "just using it for concept art" or whatever. they're still using it and its fucking gross. As a Yo-Kai Watch fan of almost 10 years now, I am truly disgusted. I hope they recall this decision and go back to using exclusively real artists, or they'll lose a lot of fans (including myself, which would break my heart. I love Level-5 games to death.)

I'm still most likely going to buy Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and Decapolice when they come out, because most likely if the use of AI in scriptwriting/sidequests is real those will be rewritten in the English localization by actual people. Still doesn't change the concept art thing but i've been hyped for these games for too long to let that ruin it. If it goes any further than that tho, i'm probably going to tap out. Which sucks so much.

This is lazy at best and downright harmful to real artists at worst.

also why would you want it to look more like the anime bro the yo-kai watch anime was ass. thats just me tho askjfhakjhfkjafk

#princeposting #level-5 #yokai watch #decapolice #inazuma eleven #fuck ai art #ai art #fuck ai #if you support ai art don't interact dude. i don't want to hear you #take your whining about “gatekeeping” elsewhere. L. Ratio even. get gatekept lmao #this is genuinely so dissapointing. i'm an artist and i've loved Level-5's works since i was like. 8 #specifically because their art direction was so distinct and wacky and cool #so to see them do this is rlly dissapointing. #ik it wont do anything to a multi million dollar video game company to tell them to “do better” but still #do better guys wtf is this #this explains why i thought some of the Decapolice concept art looked strange. like there was something about the lineart that didn't look #right. now i know lmao
