Tumblr media
as a daughter of aphrodite, you were born to love. you’d always known that. but somehow, it seemed harder than you thought. you dreaded leaving your cabin everyday with all the couples that roamed the camp’s grounds, with your sister and her boyfriend being one of the pairs you hated seeing around. you resented her almost. that’s what made you the most hostile aphrodite camper, the inability to find love for yourself.
you thought it was due to you being unlovable or something you did, or that your love was too much for others around to reciprocate. so all your camp crushes stayed crushes, watching from a distance as they found love for themselves. you’d be locked up in your cabin for days on end when this happened. you were sick of it.
for every interaction you witnessed, another pot in your porcelain heart shattered to pieces. why did others get something you couldn’t? why couldn’t you love like others? you should be an expert at this, right? you’re aphrodite’s daughter, after all.
some days you were sat by the river, you threw stones at the water trying to make them skip across only for the water nymphs to get mad at you for even having the idea to throw rocks into the water body. you grunted, getting up and throwing your last rock into the lake before storming off. some days you’d be in the fields hand picking strawberries. while you picked strawberries, couples littered the fields. were you a curse or something? you threw your basket to the ground, bumping into camp counsellor luke castellan.
“watch where you’re going, idiot!”
you yelled, your arms crossed as you continued to stomp away. luke watched as you stormed off, clueless as to whether to follow you or not. he did anyway. you sat by the lake again, grabbing a stone or two in your hands. you heard footsteps approach you in the gravel, your hand ready to whip out your dagger.
“woah.. easy there. i’m just here to check up on you.”
“i’d be the last person you’d want to check up on.”
“why not?”
“you don’t understand. i’m annoyed by it. and i hate being aphrodite’s daughter.”
oh. luke would’ve empathised with you, but still wanted to know why you were so bitter and angry about being the goddess of love’s daughter. he had only heard good things about it but was it really that bad?
“why do you hate it so much?”
“it’s stupid. my mother’s all about love and all that crap. my siblings are excellent match makers, pretty with nice hair or whatever they say about us. they expect us all to be the same. i’m the opposite and it pisses me off.”
luke frowned, if only you knew how he saw you. in the instances he’d seen you around, you seemed like a comfortable person to be around though you spent most of your time in solitude. the ability to be comfortable within your own skin was something he admired about you.
he admired you from a distance, while you glared and snapped at every camper who stepped in your way. something about that was, attractive. but what was he to say? he’d barely seen you around these days. but somehow, a part of him felt like he could see right through you; seeing himself in you.
“and don’t even get me started on valentine’s day. i hate that holiday. it’s so stupid about love and shit when you can’t even find love for yourself.”
luke sat by you, throwing a stone into the lake watching it skip. you sigh, throwing one after he did. you enjoyed the company, but you desperately needed and wanted to be alone.
“but, wouldn’t aphrodite b–”
“i’ve tried my all, luke. i’m hopeless. so it would be best if you left me alone.”
you had expected for him to leave you be, but he stayed and turned to you with a smile on his lips.
“be my valentine this year. it’s around the corner anyway, isn’t it?”
uh… what? you had just explained to him how much you hated the holiday.. is he crazy? you shook your head, throwing another stone into the lake. you watched it skip, skip… skip. almost being your record.
“no way in tartarus luke.”
“if i beat you at stone skipping?”
you thought long and hard, your upper lip mashed onto your bottom one. you sigh, nodding in approval.
“fine. but best of three.”
you knew the water nymphs would be furious, but you had already accepted the challenge. the stones skipped, the furthest it had gone was about 15 skips. with all the time you spent here you were good at it, but not as good as you thought with luke beating you by one skip. by the time you each threw three stones, luke had won. ugh, stupid golden boy.
“woohoo! you’re my valentine's date now.”
you sigh. yeah i guess. you weren’t the most keen about it, but at least you wouldn’t have to go through your siblings berating you with questions. you’re aphrodite’s daughter after all.
when valentine's day rolled around, you were busy helping out with decorating booths with your siblings. you usually didn’t help out with this, but something in your heart changed. you sort of disliked it, but you were certain that it was luke’s positive energy rubbing off you. from the time you both sat by the lake, you had spent ample time together.
for the first time in ages, you smiled, you laughed till your stomach hurt, you were even having fun in places you resided in solitude. your siblings were stunned to say the least, but it was good enough for them to see you shine after so much time spent in the darkness of your own wrath.
baby cupids flew around camp, clutching bows and arrows to shoot at potential love matches. your siblings dressed up as them, shooting suction cup arrows at people for fun. you were set to manage a booth alongside silena, which gave you the opportunity to slack off a little due to her talkativeness. you felt a hand pat your shoulder, turning to it and a smile creeping on your lips.
“happy valentine’s, smiley.”
luke’s lips curled into a smile seeing you smile, messing your hair up then watched as you laughed. the sound of your laughter made his heart flutter, he couldn’t comprehend how you’d be so grumpy for years with a laugh like that. a laugh that was so loveable.
“happy valentine’s, luke.”

Skysolo: “quick, kiss me!”
[prompt list]
Han thought the Rebellion might be a good chance to get closer to the young man he'd turned his entire life around for, physically and emotionally. In his experience, military downtime was the perfect opportunity for some ... bonding.
But he hadn't had much bonding time with Luke. The war kept them pulled in different directions, and some days the closest they could get to a conversation, let alone flirting, was making eye contact during a strategy meeting.
They hadn't been totally abstinent, thank the maker. Luke seemed eager to kiss him whenever Han looked at him a little too long, or touched his hair a certain way. Han had even gotten a hand down his pants once (but that didn't last long). But every kiss felt like a chance encounter, a surprise bit of good luck, not a habit.
This reconnaissance mission seemed like the perfect opportunity though. They were undercover now, as they trudged through the low levels of Coruscant, pretending to be lost tourists on their honeymoon. A stroke of genius so good Han couldn't believe he hadn't come up with it. Two womp rats, one shot, as Luke would say. Rebellion heroics and an excuse to be real sweet to Luke.
Han held his hand as they walked, talking in hushed voices about the intel they needed, and then talking in loud voices about the sights and sounds. It wasn't hard for Luke to look so amazed; his blue eyes had been wide with wonder since they landed on the Imp-ridden planet. Han smiled every time he looked over and caught Luke staring up at the hovercars and skyscrapers above him, mouth open in wonder.
"You're good at this tourist act," Han teased.
Luke shoved him. "There's a lot of the galaxy I haven't seen before," he defended.
"You know if you had taken my offer, you'd've seen a lot more of it by now," Han said.
"I'm sure that after a few long hyperspace trips with me, you'd throw me out of the airlock," Luke said.
Han let go of his hand in favor of swinging an arm over Luke's shoulder and pulling him in close. "You? Never." He switched to a more obviously affected, theatrical voice. "You're the love of my life, hubby."
"Hubby?" Luke asked.
"Too much?"
"A bit, I think," Luke said, a smile on his lips.
They walked along the damp sidewalks, illuminated by neon signs advertising cheap restaurants and strippers (some at the same time), until they heard the familiar sounds of plastoid armor clunking its way around the corner.
"There's at least six of them," Luke said, suddenly worried. The two of them were hardly noticeable in their street clothes, but there wasn't a crowd for them to blend it. All the locals had disappeared inside. He turned to try and get into a noodle shop, but they'd locked the doors behind them.
"Kiss me," Han said, "quick."
Luke blinked fast at him. "That never works!"
"It might work!"
"No your plans never work. You get around on luck --"
"It's not luck! I know what I'm doing --"
"--we're stuck alone down here and --"
"--I didn't have anything to do with that --"
Their disagreement turned into a shouting match quick. It had occurred to Han more than once that both Luke and Leia were expert arguers, bypassing whatever the argument was about to get right to his soft, vulnerable, emotional underbelly. Just Han's luck it seemed.
The sound of their shouting and the ambient noise of the city completely distracted Han from the approaching footsteps. He only registered the stormtrooper presence when one of them said: "It's just a lovers quarrel, leave them to it,"
Han and Luke looked over to see three of the troopers turning away from them quickly to march forward.
Han leaned in. "Did we give anything away?"
Luke shook his head. "That worked out better than kissing."
Han pouted. "Maybe, but it wasn't as fun."
Luke smiled. "I had fun."
"I thought the Jedi were supposed to be all peaceful and shit," Han complained, turning to keep walking.
"I thought you didn't believe in the Force," Luke countered.
"Yeah but you do, and as long as you do, I'm gonna help you stay on track ... religiously and all that," Han said.
"And kissing is the way to do that?" Luke asked.
"You never know. Could be," Han said.
"You know ... we're close to the ruins of the old Jedi temple ... we could look for an answer," Luke offered.
"No detours," Han said.
"It's not," Luke protested. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a holo from Leia. "Direct instructions to me."
Han shook his head in confusion. "I wasn't told."
"I figured you wouldn't sign up for the mission if you knew hokey old religions were involved," Luke said.
"I would have, for you," Han argued. "And you could have told me sooner."
"You were bound to find out," Luke said.
Han reached down and took his hand again. The streets were still empty, so it was hard to say this was for their cover. "So ... you wanted me on this mission?"
"Figured you were the best one to pretend to be married to," Luke said, a forced casual tone in his voice that Han noticed right away.
"The best one?" Han Laughed. "Out of how many?"
"The whole base I guess," Luke said. It was rare to get Luke blushing, but he was. Han could almost skip with glee.
"Well --!"
"Han, please, drop it," Luke said.
"Why?" Han asked.
Luke almost seemed to squirm. "Just don't want to joke about it, alright."
Han sobered. "Alright kid," Han said. They walked in silence until they reached the end of the block. "You know, I'm not just messing around with you," Han said. "or trying to hurt you."
"What do you mean?" Luke asked.
Han turned to him. They were standing close enough that Han had to look down just a little to meet his gaze.
"Stop that," Luke said.
"Stop what?"
"Looking at me like that," Luke said.
Han played dumb. "Why?"
"You know why." Luke pressed his lips together tight; Han could see the tension in his brows, but his blue eyes were still looking right into Han's, until they weren't. He glanced down for just a second - to his lips, Han had to assume. And then back up, and then back down, this time lower.
"You can if you want to, baby," Han said. Luke's face relaxed a little. "I want to too."
Luke rediscovered his bravery and leaned up to kiss him, pressing their mouths together in almost the same moment he tangled a hand in Han's hair, another one in the fabric of his shirt. Han was nearly thrown off balance by Luke's enthusiasm, but he managed to match it soon enough.
"Glad to see you two made up," the robotic voice of a Stormtrooper said. They nearly jumped away from each other. "Nothing to worry about," the armored-man assured them, before carrying on.
"Kissing does work," Han said in a hushed voice.
"That was luck," Luke said. Han couldn't disagree.

I gave myself a challenge to make self inserts based on obscure media so I picked two action shows: Calamity Jane and Gen13! Left is Vintage Western right is Candypeps
My SI for Calamity Jane would be the daughter of former slaves. Her name is June. While not a fighter, she is quite handy with a gun and bayonet. Personality wise she is outgoing and bubbly and always lends a hand however she tends to be way too in the clouds at times. As well as crushing on every guy she meets even after they end up being the episode's villain XD
My other SI for gen13 is an older "gen active" named Crystal Kingston. She works assisting John Lynch. That's her costume (or the closest the maker had) & due to her powers being crystal themed she has the color scheme to match. Also she has a pet tiger she rescued from animal traffickers. She's Matthew's love interest since he was bout like, the ONLY character i could really tolerate plus he's pretty hot for a goofass supervillain & he's voiced by Luke Skywalker soooo. While Crystal is pretty eccentric and friendly she's also haunted by her past, and she can be stubborn and competitive.
Both made in doll divine Vintage Western via @ummmmandy
Candy Peps by meiker (art style Sara Kuan)

Obey Me! Pokemon Teams
All of this was made using the pokemon trainer card makers on pokecharms.com. i couldn't fit this all in one post partly bc of explanations. But mostly be of the 10 pic max. Badges don't mean anything they're just there to look cool.
I spent way too much time (5 hours) looking at Pokemon and making teams then making the cards and sometimes completely redoing the cards but i have no regrets. Please enjoy!
Barbatos
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dialga - Pokemon of time! Allows time travel. Literally part of Barbatos' character. It's perfect. They even match colors.
Palkia - kinda goes hand in hand with dialga. Space and time are closely intertwined. Especially since time travel is well known for easily being able to cause tears in space time and such. Having both helps keep it stable.
Polteageist - it's tea!! You get it! It's also said to be delicious and only allows few people to taste small sips. It evolves from sinistea. Sinistea inhabits cups of tea that it finds extremely good. Barbatos was making tea for diavolo one day. Then suddenly he turns around and there's a pokemon there.
Uxie - pokemon of knowledge. I threw uxie around with a few different boys. Originally Lucifer, then Satan, the barbatos, then Solomon. But i settled on barbatos. He's extremely smart and he just seems to know so much!
Fidough - got it to help with cooking, since it's very helpful in kitchens. But he also enjoys having it around. Was going to name it Luke before he found out Simeon already did it.
Gothitelle - scary! Has seen the end of time itself! Predicts the future through the stars! Shows dreams of the end of the world to enemies that drive them mad. But she's an elegant lady. Very barbatos. Scary but with manners.

Did Tate & Momma know about Milo? If so, how did eddy keep them from spilling the beans to Luke?
They did, Tate was still really young so she didn’t really have a secret to keep but mom kept it because she was asked to for Milo’s sake and if she knew anything it was love for protecting your babies 🥹
She did however try pushing Milo’s mom & Mark together at one point trying to play match maker

^^^ THE JEDI ARE NOT EVIL!!! I HATE THIS SHIT SO FUCKING MUCH!!!
Ah, yeah, tell me you don't understand SHIT about the Galaxy Far Far Away without telling me.
I mean, obviously, the Jedi are evil, they teach emotional awareness and control in a communal environment, they strive to be better all the time, and they grow their children to be trauma free and to be able to help others, who would ever want for their kids? And don't get me started with Obi-Wan and Yoda, warning Luke that Vader is bad, that he wasn't ready to confront him, considering that he wasn't trained enough and that they couldn't tell him point blank that that murderer was his father. How rude of them to prepare him for the idea that there could be no good in him to the point that Luke could have to kill him just to defend himself. I mean, it's not like Obi-Wan himself witnessed Vader killing random people just to lure him from his hiding, dragging him into the fire just to make him suffer, watched him saying that there was no Anakin left in him because he killed him himself! How could Obi-Wan not see that Anakin was a victim at that point?
Ok, I'm being sarcastic, because it's incredible, even more now after the Kenobi series, that people still think that Jedi are arrogant, selfish and entitled. It's absolutely dumb. Or in bad faith, and I think that it's like that for a lot of these video makers, not to count how many of them reeks of fascism and white supremacism, especially when they totally forget the Asian cultures that have influenced the making of the Jedi Order.
George Lucas said it: the Jedi are the most moral people in the galaxy. He wanted the story to be about them and their struggle, how evil can rise against the light and wipe it by the hands of someone that was once a nice kid and was conscripted into the Sith by his greed for power. It's an easy story, told in black and white nuances because it was meant for kids to understand a simple moral story. There is no other way, no grey Jedi, no balance after what Anakin did to the Jedi order. And it was just for the great compassion of his son, who claims to be a JEDI, like his father before him, that Vader can overcome his own greed for power.
Vader wanted Luke to join him, defeat Palpatine and became the ruler of the Galaxy, and THIS is still greed for power, it's still his mindset, until the point when he sees Luke stop fighting, choosing peace and self-sacrifice instead of joining the dark side, that he stands against the Emperor.
I also think that Obi-Wan letting Vader kill him in front of Luke, two films prior, was a sort of lesson on the importance to accept defeat, of self-sacrifice for the sake of others, and Luke accepted and embraced it. He was willing to die, instead of choosing the path to the dark side, and that's something these people don't want to see because, in their eyes, their favourite baddie can't lose because he's wrong, he can only lose because the opponent is stronger, not because he's morally better. It's a sort of barbarian mindset, only the strongest will win, so if Luke doesn't want to fight anymore it means he's weak, so how can he win in the end?
My friend, it's really pointless to read these people or watch these videos. They don't want to understand, they are watching another franchise. One done in their head that doesn't match reality. Even if GL and all the authors are saying in simple terms that the story is about how good were the Jedi, they will never believe it, mostly because they don't want it, for whatever reason.

Black Friday In The Hollow (As Written By Me)
I wrote this Gilly Girls holiday tale on Twitter back in 2020, enjoy. It's Christmas in The Hollow and Stars Hollow Walmart is short staffed on Black Friday. So they call on their favorite forklift operator to work the floor.
The GillyGirls camp out overnight to buy some frivolous item like a discounted TV and join in the crush of people rushing the store. Jess gets trampled. Lorelai steps over his limp body without a thought and makes a quirky remark as she runs to electronics, Rory in tow. "Just a little mother daughter bonding!" Rory exclaims, feeling a twinge of pity for him, until Lorelai spots a $5 coffee maker. Jess is called to break up a clawing match between the Gilly Girls and Kirk over the $5 coffee pot. Kirk shouts "But I need this for Mother!" Jess steps in, "For fuck's sake, Gilmores, you already have a coffee pot and you never pay my uncle for his coffee." Later we see Lorelai and Rory trying to determine what Lorelai should get her husband, Dean Forrester, for Christmas. Rory: Mom, can we talk about the fact that you married my ex boyfriend? Lorelai: Later kiddo, not here in housewares, that's more of a clothing department discussion. Besides you saw it coming. Lorelai: What should I get Luke, he's so hard to shop for. Rory: We just went over this, you're married to Dean, remember?
Tumblr media
Jess (overhearing) You could pay him for your fucking food. Merry Christmas thank you for shopping at Walmart. After Black Friday shopping is complete, Lorelai and Rory head to Luke's. It's some ungodly hour of the morning and they find it closed. Lorelai throws pebbles at Luke's window. "We need coffee!" she shouts. Luke opens the window and glares at the Gilly Girls. "It's 3 am! Make your own damn coffee!" He points to the $5 coffee pot that they trampled Jess to obtain and slams the window shut. Jess finishes his Black Friday shift around the same ungodly hour. The local news is there to capture the reactions of people leaving the store because Stars Hollow is fucking boring and this is what qualifes for local news. The reporter sees Jess existing the store looking disheveled, bruised and angry. She tries to interview him. He grabs the microphone and goes on a Nuclear-Luke style rant about corporate greed. The chipper and supportive manager who awarded him Employee of the Month sees the broadcast and smiles. Such hardworking, dedicated, if questionably-certified teenage forklift operators are hard to come by. "That's our Jess."

the hoedown seemed like a fun idea to Luke but the pairing system had him a bit worried at the start, more so not wanting to get one of his old students or else he would have started playing match maker to avoid all of that awkwardness. but he got lucky on his pairing and got zoe, a little ironic that the first time they met was lady swooping her off her feet before he even had a chance too. "i promise my dogs not here to trip you up tonight, although i'm a horrible dancer so i can't promise i won't do it myself." luke laughed, holding out a drink for her.

Season previews: Fremantle (15th)
Last season: 14th (10 wins, 13 losses, 96.7%) Notable ins: N/A Notable outs: Lachie Schultz (Collingwood), Liam Henry (St Kilda), Joel Hamlin (Sydney)
Was reaching a semi-final in 2022 a flash in the pan? Or was a disappointing 14th-placed finish the next season just an unfortunate dip on their way to improving again in 2024? Was their boring style, based on slow play from the back half and devoid of dare, setting the foundations on which to eventually build a successful game plan? Or is the coach out of step with the way sides like last year’s premiers satisfied and reaped the rewards of the AFL’s stated ambition to open the game up and play an attractive brand of football? These are the questions that would keep decision makers at Fremantle up at night.
Tumblr media
Of immediate concern was a failure to capitalise on their home ground advantage, just three wins and seven losses against teams not named the West Coast Eagles, and a two win and five loss start from the first seven games. A purple patch (excuse the pun) mid-season eventually gave way to an indifferent finish to the year. They beat only two sides all year that finished in the top eight.
Fremantle have outstanding ball winners in Caleb Serong and Andrew Brayshaw, joined by Hayden Young as the season wore on, and they continue to live in hope that Nat Fyfe can return to something nearing his Brownlow best. That seems increasingly farfetched at age 32 and with a significant injury history. Photos of Fyfe’s bulging muscles and ripped physique each pre-season are beginning to reach the level of the NBA’s Ben Simmons practising three-point shots in an empty gym - tantalising but unlikely to materialise into anything meaningful once the going gets tough.
Across the rest of the field, there are too many gaping holes. They are still missing a dominant key forward. Both Luke Jackson and Sean Darcy are much better ruckmen than they are forwards and the tandem effort was largely ineffective in their first season playing together. Serious consideration should have been given to trading Darcy and allowing Jackson to be the number one ruck, a position he looks far more capable of breaking the game open in. Alex Pearce holds down full-back and as captain is presumably a great clubman but played a number of poor games throughout the year (although he deserves credit for a match winning effort against Geelong in round 20).
It is difficult to see where Fremantle’s improvement comes from in 2024, given they did not add anyone of note in the trade period and their highest draft pick was at 35. Henry and Schultz, two players that do possess attacking flair, were ones they should not have allowed themselves to lose given their deficiency in that area. The future of Justin Longmuir, out of contract at the end of the season, will naturally be a topic of conversation and potentially a real distraction if they start the year anything like they did in 2023.
It’s time for transition at Tigerland, next up is Richmond…

Monday evening, Tuesday evening, & now Wednesday.. I’m shocked & sad over the sudden passing of my friend, Frank Daley. Since becoming friends at the end of the Blue Hand Luke Halloween show at Rustic Barn Pub (2015), Frank was always kind, welcoming, supportive, informative, and talented. His passing left a huge hole in my heart as well as so many others in the arts and music community. Frank was always kind to me.. taking the time to fill me in on life’s happenings, introducing me to Judy during their lunch outing at Shalimar (Troy-2016), and even from time to time, became a match-maker of sorts; encouraging a friend of ours whom I liked at the time to chat with me at community outings that we were at..!! Always caring, always giving back, and always loving life until its end. Thank you Frank for being my friend!! You are deeply missed. Be sure to continue to guide over me and everyone you know & tell Josh and Dave what’s happening from up above. My love, condolences and hugs to his brothers, Joe & Jack, sisters, mom, to Judy & Ruby, his band members, family, and friends during this difficult time. May you rest in peace and continue to guide over us Frank!! Thank you for your valued friendship and beautiful talents!! Love you my friend!! (📸 Photos taken by Amy L.

November 27, 2022
First Sunday of Advent
Isaiah 2: 1-5
The prophet speaks of the peace that will unfold in God’s kingdom.
Psalm 122
The Psalmist shares a message of peace for Israel and Jerusalem.
Romans 13: 11-14
Paul asks the Romans to be prepared and to “put on” the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 24: 37-44
Matthew invites his listeners to be prepared for the Lord’s coming.
 This weekend, we begin a new Church year and our Gospel companion is Matthew. In the early Church the first two weeks of Advent focused on the end times and Jesus’ return, while the last two weeks dealt with the Birth of Christ.  I love this season and have come to realize how often the early Church makes connections between the words of the Prophet Isaiah and the life of Jesus.
A dear colleague of mine from the Seminary gave me a book entitled, “The Art of Advent.”  What a creative way to move through these four weeks in the company of great artists as they try to tell the powerful story of God among us in human form.  Art and poetry are wonderful companions as we reflect on this season. So too, are the personalities that Matthew shares with us as the weeks unfold. While Luke’s Gospel focuses on Mary, Matthew’s Advent texts concentrate on the figure of Joseph and the tasks he is asked to assume.  
Isaiah will remain our companion for the four weeks and soon Matthew highlights the person and role of John the Baptist.  We also know the suffering of this small family and the eventual danger they faced at the hand of Herod. Some say that the cross is present in that stable on Christmas night.
We also know how the story unfolds but perhaps this year we might want to take some time to accompany the main characters in this powerful drama.  To walk with them as human beings asked to do enormous things and called to trust in the God who guided them.
As you listen to the reading from Isaiah, you can understand how the early Christians believed he was pointing to Christ. Indeed, he was speaking of a messiah who “…shall judge between the nations and impose terms on many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks; one nation shall not raise a sword against another.”  Isaiah has a vision of a peace maker messiah, but throughout Jewish history many images of the messiah were present.  Some believed the Messiah would gather the people to conquer Rome militarily.   Most of these actions were met with defeat. Others saw the need to enter a contemplate place like the Essenes as they waited. Isaiah did speak of a child born of young maiden and early Christians saw another passage in Isaiah as one that points to the hoped-for Messiah.  “The spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding…”.   Isaiah is writing some 700 years before the birth of Christ but he reflects the hopes of the people.  Hopes for someone in whose light the people can grow, be free and faithful.  We also know Isaiah shares passages that indicate great suffering for a chosen one.  One author sees so many links between the prophet Isaiah and Jesus’ life that he calls the prophet’s work, “The Fifth Gospel.”
But you and I have the advantage of hindsight when it comes to the meaning of Jesus birth we are going to celebrate.  His life, message and ministry for many faithful Jews did not match their understanding of what the longed-for Messiah would be, do and accomplish.
The birth that we will soon celebrate happens in poverty; the child faces death and with his family, becomes a refugee.  His message was unpopular to some and his companions were ridiculed by others.  As this Advent season unfolds Isaiah continues to reveal his understandings about the one to come.  However, as the season unfolds and Jesus’ ministry takes on a life of its own, his message became too confusing, to threatening, too disappointing for many. For some, his actions, roots, and teachings did not meet their expectations of a messiah.  That is why some say that “The cross became evident even at the birth of this child.”
I invite you to find a Scriptural companion with whom you can walk and pray this wonderful season.  Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, Zechariah, or John the Baptist and soon angels and shepherds.  “Let the Spirit of the Lord come upon you” as these coming weeks unfold and you more deeply understand the power of this season..

Waiting in the Wings
***Happy Birthday Week Luke! This is a fluffy one. I don't get to write Simeon and Luke often, so this was interesting to sort of experiment with. I hope you guys enjoy! *** Summary: A talent show is being held at RAD; knowing the vocal talents of a certain young angel, you encourage Luke to join. Only Luke doesn't seem too fond of the idea. Together, you and Simeon do your best to give Luke the courage to shine.
The doors to Purgatory Hall slammed open as you raced inside with a blue flyer clenched in your hand. You rushed into the kitchen where you knew you would find your target. Luke, as expected, stood there is a light blue apron, whisking some kind of batter in a bowl. You excitedly waved the flyer in Luke's face. "Did you see this?! There's going to be a talent show?"
Luke squeaked at your sudden appearance and almost dropped the bowl. He took a moment to set it on the counter and grumbled something under his breath before taking the paper from your hands. You watched eagerly as his eyes scanned the page. He gasped and looked up at you in excitement. "RAD is hosting a talent show?! That's so cool! I wonder if Simeon's going to enter? He could probably read a poem he wrote, or act out one of his monologues," a tender look of admiration spilled into Luke's expression as he looked at the flyer. He shook his head and looked over at you. "What about you MC? Are you entering?" You chuckled and shook your head. "No. It's not really my thing. But I know someone with an incredible voice that would blow the rest of the competition out of the water!"
You thought that your words made it quite obvious that you were talking about Luke. You had first heard him sing months ago when Asmodeus dragged you to a tea party that he had been invited to by Simeon and Luke had performed for the three of you and Barbatos. His voice was truly the work of angels and was unlike anything you had ever heard before. It was remarkable to think that such a large talent could fit inside his small body.
Evidently, you weren't obvious enough.
Luke's eyes got even wider and he bounced slightly in excitement. "That's amazing! Who is it? You should definitely get them to enter! I'd love to hear them sing. Maybe they could teach me a couple of things." You smirked at his obliviousness and light-heartedly pushed the young angel. "Well, it'll be sort of hard for you to teach yourself what you already know."
Luke blinked at you several times, and you could practically see the math equations floating around his head. As he had his light bulb moment, his face paled and Luke quickly shook his head. "No! Absolutely not! I am not doing it!" "What aren't you doing?" The two of you whipped around to see Simeon watching the two of you in amusement. Your heart fluttered at the mere sight of him.
This, unfortunately, wasn't new. Although your feelings for Simeon weren't something that was apparent right away, they had grown more and more as you spent more time together. There was no denying the angel was handsome, however, there was so much more to him than that. He was intelligent and creative, able to outwit even some of the brothers with ease. He was incredibly compassionate and open-minded about the creatures in the Devildom. In one word, Simeon was bright. He radiated joy and peace where ever he went. You didn't know if it was an effect of being an angel or if it was who he truly was, but regardless, it was slowly but surely winning over your heart. You smiled at him and handed him the flyer. "I was telling Luke how I think that he should sing in the upcoming talent show." Simeon grinned widely at his charge, "Oh, that sounds like a wonderful idea! You have an incredible vo-"
"NO!" You both looked at Luke in shock. He didn't lash out often unless it was at one of the brothers. He most certainly never raised his voice at Simeon. Yet here he stood with his eyes screwed shut and hands balled into fists as they shook; whether they shook with anger or something else, you weren't sure. He scowled at both of you. "I'm not going to sing for a bunch of filthy demons on a stage in f-front of hundreds of students! Are you insane?" Simeon and you exchanged glances of concern. Simeon moved closer to his charge and placed a hand on his shoulder; like a parent trying to soothe their child. "Luke, if you really don't want to do it, that's okay. No one will force you. But I have to ask...Is the reason you don't want to perform because you have stage fright?" Luke blushed and looked away. "N-No! I don't have stage fright! I-I just don't want to waste my celestial talents on these demonic scum!"
He was clearly lying. Yes, he was upset, but behind that anger, you could see a small trace of sadness; as though his mind, which filled him with fear of the audience's judgement, and his heart, which yearned to sing for all to hear, were at war.
If the angel you had come to know as a brother wanted to perform, that god damn it, you were going to make sure he would be able to perform! "Well, what if I was there with you?" You asked in genuine curiosity. His head snapped up to look at you. "B-But you said it's not your thing?" You tried not to smile at his concern for you, and instead casually shrugged it off. "I could stand in the wings and be right there cheering you on. I could also help you practice and get ready; that way you feel more confident about it." Simeon nodded and patted Luke's hat. "You wouldn't be doing this alone. MC and I would be right by your side if this is something that interests you. I'm sure Barbatos would love to see you perform. MC and I would certainly enjoy it." Luke shifted from foot to foot as he thought about it. The room held its breath as you waited for his decision to be revealed. He glanced over at you nervously. "You'll be right there?" Your chest warmed as you were momentarily reminded of just how young Luke really is. You gently squeezed his shoulder and nodded. "I won't leave you for even a second." Luke let out a big breath before a gleam of determination filled his eyes and he balled his fists. "Okay! I'll do it! I'll sing at the show!" You smiled brightly in silent victory as Simeon laughed and hugged Luke. "Wonderful! Looks like the two of us have our work cut for us! When would you like to begin preparing?" "Now!" Luke took off out of the room, "I know the perfect song! I have the sheet music in my room! I'll be right back!" Simeon chuckled as Luke vanished from sight in a white and blue blur and looked over at you. There was a shimmer of fondness and affection in his eyes that caused your breath to catch in your throat.
"Thank you for talking him into this. He truly does enjoy singing, and I think he would've regretted it if he didn't join. He's very fond of you," Simeon's voice was as soft as the clouds that he had descended from. You scratched the back of your neck and awkwardly tried to brush off his thanks. "It's nothing. Luke means a lot to me too. He's like a little brother, you know?" If possible, his expression became even more tender as he looked deep into your eyes and gave you the most gentle smile. "Yes. I suppose I do."
The two of you sat in comfortable silence for a moment, before you noticed Simeon shift a little. You wouldn't quite say it was an action of discomfort but there was clearly something on his mind.
"Penny for your thoughts?" You asked with a reassuring smile.
Simeon, much to your surprise, blushed. "I was just thinking. I suppose with you aiding us, you'll be spending more time here at Purgatory Hall, will you not?"
You blinked a couple of times at the question. You supposed it was true. Within the next two weeks leading up to the talent show, you would probably be spending the majority of your time here with Luke, and as a result, with Simeon as well. You nodded in response to the question as you felt your own cheeks grow warm.
Simeon's twinkled as his expression lit up. "It will be lovely getting to spend more time with you. You-"
Before Simeon could say much more, Luke burst back into the room waving a stack of papers.
"S-So this is what I'm thinking. I have options, but I don't know which ones to choose!" He paused as he picked up on the obvious energy change in the room and frowned. "What's going on in here?" Simeon chuckled and leaned back against the kitchen counter. "Nothing at all. Now, you mentioned you had options?" Luke took the bait easily and began excitedly explaining each of his song selections. Throughout the next two weeks, you and Simeon worked together to help get Luke in tiptop shape to perform. You ran vocal scales with him as Simeon played the notes on the piano. You helped him memorize the lyrics, while Simeon aided him in getting the melody and key right. Using your influence with Diavolo and the brothers, you were even able to get him into the theatre that the show would be hosted at, and gave him the opportunity to practice on stage while in advance. During this time you found yourself growing closer and closer with Simeon. The two of you would exchange secret smiles with one another when you thought Luke wasn't looking. You found yourself more aware of his presence and his notable attention towards you. You would glance over at him, only to find he was already looking at you. Simeon would frequently put his hand on your shoulder or ruffle your hair. The actions always left you flustered, which simply made him smile even more.
Luke wasn't oblivious to the budding romance between the two of you. He noticed all too easily what was happening and instantly approved. After all, it was much better that you be courted by a gentleman such as Simeon than one of those fiendish brothers.
So he decided to do his part in aiding the matter. He often made up excuses in the middle of practice that would leave the two of you alone in a room. He always made sure you two sat down beside each other. Luke would come up with clever little things that "Simeon needed to do," just after practice ended and would always turn to you immediately after insisting that you help.
If either you or Simeon noticed what he was doing, neither of you mentioned it.
The two of you may have started this as a mission to help Luke feel comfortable on stage, but Luke quickly turned it into a mission to get his two favourite people together.
Time flew by, and before anyone could blink, the day of the show had finally arrived.
The theatre was elegantly decorated with red and gold streamers hanging on the balconies and bouquets of roses lining the aisles.
Backstage, dozens of performers anxiously fretted about, running over their talents one last time before their big moment in the spotlight. Simeon had performed a romantic monologue earlier in the evening. As he spoke, you couldn't help bet notice that his gaze would continuously fall onto you; something that made Luke beam with joy. Since then another handful of performers had gone up, Luke was next. The angel stood between you and Simeon in the wings, as he nervously twisted his hat in his hands. "I-I-I can't do this. I change my mind. I'm not gonna do it," he tried to turn and flee, but you quickly caught him.
"Woah, woah, woah. Easy there, Luke. You worked so hard on this. You can't just back out now!" Your heart broke as you felt just how badly the poor boy was shaking. You knelt down in front of him and placed your hands on his shoulders as you looked deeply into his eyes. "Luke, it's going to be okay. You've practiced day and night for this. You're going to blow the socks off of everyone out there. Simeon and I will be right here with you the entire performance."
Luke sniffed and wiped at his eyes. "Promise? You'll be here when I finish?" Simeon came up behind you and placed a hand on your back as he knelt down beside you. "We aren't going anywhere."
Luke smiled faintly at the sight of the two of you so close and nodded. "O-Okay. I suppose I can do it then."
You pulled Luke into a hug and held him tightly. "You've got this Luke. Go show them all what the Celestial realm is really made of!"
Luke hugged you back as his name was called out by the emcee. With a nervous smile, he put his hat back on and walked out onto the stage. You held your breath as he approached the mic. What if something went wrong? What if the mic didn't work? What if the audience was mean? A hand wrapped around your own and gave it a gentle squeeze. You looked over to see Simeon holding onto your hand. He grinned at you and brought your hand to his lips, delicately kissing your skin. "Have faith, MC. Everything is going to be fine." You weren't sure if it was the heat from the spotlights or the number of people in the room, but you felt like you were going to melt. You nodded and squeezed his hand in return as the music began. Just as expected, Luke was absolutely incredible. He sang with all the glory of the heavens. As his voice filled the theatre, you could've sworn that the lights shone just a little bit brighter. There wasn't a dry eye in sight; no one could deny the beauty in his talent.
Once he took his final bows, he practically sprinted back to the two of you where he was immediately scooped up into the arms of a proud Simeon. "That was incredible Luke! Truly a remarkable performance!"
Luke laughed and hugged his mentor back. "You guys were right! After I started singing, it wasn't scary at all! Thank you so much for helping me do this." You fondly ruffled Luke's hair and beamed at him. "All we did was give you the confidence to go out there. You did everything else yourself."
Luke's chest puffed out in some well-earned pride as he soaked in the praise from the two of you.
Simeon finally let him go and smiled down at him. "Now, what do you say we go celebrate? I have reservations for the three of us at Restaurante Six."
Luke's eyes widened, and you could practically see the scheming thoughts cycle through his brain. The young angel let out a dramatic yawn as he stretched. "You know performing really tired me out. I think I'll head home with Solomon. It'd be a shame for that reservation to go to waste though; you two should go together."
You blinked at Luke in shock, as a knowing smirk climbed onto Simeon's face. He turned to you with coy, yet loving, eyes and held out his hand. "Well, what do you say, MC? Care to accompany me to dinner this evening?"
You gaped at him for a second, as Luke watched the interaction in excitement. You stumbled upon your words for a second before finally getting them out. "I-I, um, yes! Yes. I would l-love that."
"YES!" The two of you quickly looked over at Luke as he jumped around in celebration. Seeing that he was caught, he froze before chuckling nervously and scratching the back of his neck. "I-I mean, bummer that I got join you two. Have a good night!" Just like that, Luke took off to go find Solomon.
You sighed and shook your head. "He's a trouble maker."
Simeon laughed and took your hand into his and he pulled you close to him. "Perhaps, but if the result of his mischief allows me to spend more time with you, then I, for one, am grateful," he kissed the top of your hands once more and offered out his arm to you. "Shall we?"
Your heart fluttered as you took his arm and allowed him to escort you out of the theatre and into what promised to be a memorable evening.
***This was a process for sure, but I think I'm happy with how it turned out! Thank you everyone for reading and supporting me and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SON, LUKE!!!!***
