#self-revelation

[officialyourdailyinspiration]

The excuse that is banished, the excuse every pagan hopes in vain to use, the excuse that is exploded by God’s self-revelation in nature is the pretended, vacuous, dishonest appeal to ignorance. No one will be able to approach the judgment seat of God justly pleading, “If only I had known You existed, I would surely have served You.” That excuse is annihilated. No one can lightly claim “insufficient” evidence for not believing in God.

God's Glory Is Everywhere (Psalm 19)

Law and land converge to guide us into grateful living, into the wisdom of dealing rightly in all things.

The heavens declare the glory of God,and the sky displays what his hands have made.One day tells a story to the next.One night shares knowledge with the nextwithout talking,without words,without their voices being heard.Yet, their sound has gone out into the entire world,their message to the ends of the earth.He has set up a tent in the heavens for the sun,which comes out of its chamber like a…

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.

Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

#like max is really fuckin self aware throughout the show #he knows he's the biggest prick alive and he revels in his jackassery #to the point of pointing out the core problem of bullying itself: people are bullied because people are bullies. simple as that #like its a good message to hammer down in the bullying problem of the show while also showing how far gone Max is with his delusion of power #so um yea #oki at this point it's kinda obvious that my favorite character in the show is max jagerman like writing wise #dude's portrayed as an irredeemable literal monster and the show doesnt shy away from the fact that the dude isnt getting any redemption arc #and yet there are nuances to him being overzealous with his power both in life and in the afterlife #SO YEA STARKID DID A GREAT JOB IN WRITING MAX LIKE DAMN #starkid #nerdy prudes must die #npmd #npmd spoilers

"- but with whom can you sit in water?"

and who can hop in the bath with you to make a show of not caring about your tattoos, and how can you not find it hard to hide your disdain at the attempt.

because either this is a trap you have blindly walked into again . . . or he really does love you and could have loved you all this time. and despite all that-

you cannot turn from the path that you are on.

so past the point of changing people's minds about me!! like i actually just realized today that i don't care. i am so much more capable of shrugging my shoulders at someone's preconceived notions of me than i used to be. throughout my life i will probably run into many a person who will have a negative impression of me that they will not be able to dispel (or will go out of their way to fuel for the sake of their confirmation bias or whatever it is). but i will also have the honor of meeting a lot of amazing people who won't do that and who will actually see me for who i really am and will affirm that w their thoughts and actions. so long as i know who i am, anyone who's willing to make the effort will know who i am too. and that's all that matters

#i feel like some people resort to delusion to self-soothe when they run into people who don't like them #or avoid them like the plague #but for me i just wanna be chill. like u don't like me? but it's not for any actual reason aside from ur preconceived notions of me? ok! #i am not going to expend energy into changing your mind or even avoiding you #in light of this revelation i will simply chill and do my thing anyway #i have a friend who tells me “we'll always work w people we won't like” so now i see these kinds of instances as practice #rather than something that actually reflects my worth as a person #p

World's Finest: Teen Titans #4

#lmao he sounds like a mother hen #also i'm still getting used to the titans being depicted this way #i mean it's not like they're completely ooc or anything #but it's just like their characteristics from the og teen titans comic and teen titans year one being amplified #and it's weird to regress to those versions of them in my head when i'm used to how they are as older teens/adults #but honestly refreshing to see them address their personalities and flaws more uhhh... prominently? in this way #like roy being an asshole toward garth #but also getting the revelation that roy is lonely and such #and yeah anyway things are more pronounced to make way for character development #i'm still not 100% sure about donna though but honestly think it's bc i'm comparing it to her tntt self #Dick Grayson #Donna Troy

86!Mav would be feral over 22!Ice in all the good ways he can think about. Maybe a timetravel au where 22!Mav reaches the breaking point in space and time and 86!Mav wakes up in his place instead, and he doesn't know where he is, but he knows that the man sleeping to his side is someone important for him, someone that makes his chest hurt in all the good ways and make him cuddle against his back because it feels right to be there.

And maybe after, when the whole situation is clear, Ice gets a little self-conscious. He already is with his Maverick, but it's different because his Mav got to grow with him and has his own sign of the time that passed, but this Maverick? This Maverick is twenty-four and as beautiful, if not even more, as Ice fondly remembers him, and he feels old. Old, scarred, and not something that should be watched as Mav does. So Ice hides behind scarves, sweaters, and blankets because he knows if he has enough patience, his Mav will come back, and he will be able to relax. But 86!Mav won't have it, and really, he doesn't get how his present self doesn't spend every second of his life touching Ice and kissing him. So he votes, in front of the mirror in their bathroom, that he's going to make Ice understand how he's still so sexy and beautiful that Mav burnt his hand making pancakes because he took his eyes away from the pan and he saw Ice reading his journal, glasses on and the whole thing reduced Mav's brain to no brain activity. And then he's going to write a letter to his present self to beg him to do a better job of remembering his husband how beautiful he is.

#self indulgence at its finest #just want 86!mav to have the revelation™️ over breakfast and then going totally feral bc he can't let ice hide from him #au #time travelling #86!mav in 2022 #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #idk if it makes sense bc i'm writing with a n eye altready closed lol

Encountering God (Exodus 19:9-25)

The Mount Sinai event is one of the most remembered and talked about events in the Old Testament.

Israel at Mount Sinai, by Jan Luijken (1649–1712) Then the Lord said to Moses, “I will come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hear me when I speak with you. Then they will always trust you.” Moses told the Lord what the people had said. Then the Lord told Moses, “Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash…

i'm still emotional about all of spock's life trajectory basically being that of a pendulum wildly seeking equilibrium in a confusing world

he swings back and forth from emulating extreme logic to poorly hide his emotional instability as a kid to embracing emotion and even cracking jokes and laughing to once again valuing logic (but this time he lets himself still fuck with people and maybe his eyes show a fuck ton a glimpse of emotion if you know how to look for it) and then finally in the movies learning that emotion and logic are not conflicting forces and he embodies both and coaches others to do the same and just AUGH

#spock's laughing and joking phase feels a lot like the phase i know i and a lot of other baby queers went through right after coming out #where literally everything you buy must be rainbow and you thrive in rainbow capitalism and all that. it's reveling in the opposite extreme #of what you had to go through for so long and it's so important in the journey of learning how to live as your authentic self #star trek tos #star trek snw #star trek aos #star trek tos movies #star trek the motion picture #spock #spock cha'sarek #spirk #mcspirk

Whump Prompt #1086

Anon asked:

Need me some prompts for a really happy-go-lucky character who hides their traumas behind a witty remark and a cocky smile

Happy go-lucky is a trope I’ve modelled an OC on so:

Nothing appears to phase the character at first: even when it really should. 

When the Worst Stuff is revealed about their past, everyone is sat in horrified shock except your character, who passes the whole thing off as a funny story. The character shrugs and says ‘and I’m still alive so... I’ll drink to that.’

The ‘it is what it is’ mentality. Someone is mean to them? They’ve heard worse. They’re injured? ‘Not as bad as the last time.’ They’ve just witnessed something horrific? ‘Eh, at least no-one died in my arms this time.’

They’ve learnt to craft their backstory into something more humorous to reduce the impact it has on other people. 

“Hahah, well actually I’ve dealt with this before. It’s a funny story really, I was nearly executed for...”

Maybe one day they can’t hold it in anymore. That One Thing is enough to push them over the edge. Maybe they drink, maybe they do something else self destructive and it all comes out. There’s no cocky smile, there’s no joke; your character is being 100% real and It’s jarring for the caretakers... but also a relief that the trauma is finally being addressed.

[chamerionwrites]

Somewhat more controversially - beyond just well-written characters, I think a lot of people find themselves repeatedly drawn to particular Types of characters. And I think the frequency with which those types appear, and the particular flavor of those types, is often (unnecessarily!) gendered. (Sticking with the espionage theme: it’s pretty difficult to find clever, calculating, socially astute female spy characters whose tradecraft doesn’t hinge primarily or at least very heavily on their sex appeal). TL;DR even very well-written female characters are often (unnecessarily!!!) confined to a much more limited set of narrative roles and archetypes.

And while I’m definitely not saying this is something we should all just accept completely uncritically, I do think it’s a pretty undeniable factor in why a lot of people’s lists of favorite blorbos might be kinda dude-heavy.

#as an aside one of the things I’m enjoying about bg3 is that there’s a lot of genderswapped archetype stuff going on w the companions #reading tag #also #fandom #my posts #like to be clear i think that as writers we should be the change we wish to see in the world #add depth and dimension to characters that canon did wrong by! genderswap some archetypes! #ask yourself if there is any particular reason the character you created needs to be the gender you initially assigned them! #but also i think it’s at least *slightly* more complex than people not engaging with characters just because they’re women #personally i have a weak spot for emotionally reserved/guarded characters who struggle with vulnerability and self-revelation #there is nothing inherently gendered about this and I can certainly name female characters that fit the mold! #but also surprise surprise: Socially Enforced Masculinity Norms And The Crushing Weight Thereof are a thing #and this is reflected in fiction. and in fictional dudes.
