#this is deeply comforting

[tabernacleheart]

'If you ask for bread, your heavenly Father will not give you a stone.' The sages call this a kal va'chomer inference (i.e., קַל וְחמר, "light and weighty"), namely, that if a light condition is true, then a heavier one is certainly true. Jesus used this kind of reasoning all the time: If God cares for the needs of the birds of the air, how much more (kal va'chomer) will He care for your needs? (Matt. 6:26). If God so clothes the grass of the field, how much more (kal va'chomer) will He clothe you (Matt. 6:30)? If your heavenly Father knows the number of hairs on your head, surely He knows the state of your soul. And if God wants us to walk in righteousness, kal va'chomer does He want us to know His  love. Only God can give to us the love for Him that He fully knows we so desperately need; only God can deliver us from our "disordered loves" to take hold of what is truly essential. All we can do is ask, and keep on asking- even as we struggle on, despite ourselves- until we begin to understand what we really need. It's as if we are constantly being asked, "Is this what you want?" and our choices confess the truth of what we believe. Only God does the miracle of real change within the human heart- only God can give life from the dead!

"You've been hurting so much, and for so long… Please, let me soothe your pain."

-

There was a scenario I had imagined in which Mario would suffer emotional trauma and keep it to himself to the point of becoming depressed, growing more distant and avoiding others as a result. He would so desperately want for his loved ones to be at peace that he would rather endure unbearable misery in silence than speak on it; not knowing just how tired he really is and how badly he needs to be comforted.

So when Peach would finally -and ever so gently- confront him on the matter, his walls would crumble almost immediately, and he would break down in front of her. Anguish and exhaustion slowly giving way to healing. ❤️‍🩹

#This kept coming back to my mind when I was working on both the confession tangent and the body swap one 🥺 #And looking at it... I figured it could indeed technically work for a variety of stories #The context might change but the issue remains 😢 #Mario has a lot of trouble opening up about what upsets him #Especially to both his brother and the princess #Who just so happen to be the two people who care about him the most #So the poor man was essentially bound to experience this struggle 😔 #But- there's beauty in sorrow. And love in suffering 🤲💖 #I have often contemplated drawing a sequence that would showcase this moment #but ultimately felt that it was more impactful as a single image 🌅 #It also deeply resonates with me for many reasons #This was a personal one for me 💙 #Mario #Princess Peach #Mario x Peach #Mareach #hurt/comfort #Super Mario Bros #Fanart

Hello there, dear @itsokaytomakemosstakes!

I was your assigned gift maker for the @dcmk-exchange event!

Ever since you shared your lovely mugs with me, the thought that Ran would get them as a matching kitty set for herself and Conan, wouldn't leave me alone. So I decided to embrace the idea; for both the headcanon and the personal touch.

Originally I planned something more silly, but the soothing vibes of my first sketch were just so lovely, I went with this instead (especially since I thought you might appreciate a bit of peace).

I hope you'll like this, and I really have enjoyed chatting with you, Moss!

#dcmk exchange #dcmk-exchange #detective conan #dcmk #meitantei conan #名探偵コナン #edogawa conan #fanart #the detective gremlin #my stuff #HELLO THERE: TIS I YOUR GIFTER AND I HAVE ARRIVED #i'm sorry i'Ll be ranting in the tags (as i wont to do) #*inhales deeply* i know you said you wanted something silly but... the image of him drinking from his mug was so soothing to me #i hoped it would be a bit soothing for you too *fidgets with hands* #i'm not really good at fanart but i saw in your form that you would like a fanart if possible #and i wanted to give it a try and i actually really loved working on it a lot i accidentally got into the zone for hours #i mostly used markers and a bit of coloured pencil to colour his pajamas. #(a very light green which the scanner killed but well...) so a mixed media piece? #i also felt more comfortable for going with a semi-realistic style? i always wanted to do my own interpretation of shinichi's adorable hair #and i tried to imitate how gosho colours hair since i've always liked that style. an attempt was made at least #i really hope you like this at least a tiny bit and if you ever want to talk you are more than welcome to #and stay strong darling. and let yourself heal and grieve. give yourself all the time you need. #i also didn't want to set too high a bar for myself since i have a weird relationship with doing fanart. so i kept this fairly simple. #but i'm really satisfied. more than i thought i would be. so thank you for this experience a lot!!! #i also wanted to go for the feeling that he is tiny... so the mug is big and he is tiny... extra tininess... a baby... #also me realizing late in the game that i wanted to add a tiny blush but... well... *coughs*

thorin hears bilbo cry out in the night. maybe another dwarf would wait a few moments to see if all is well, but thorin is already to the door of his chambers. he might not have scrounged up all of mahal's courage to properly court bilbo, but he at least made sure his dear friend was nearby

bilbo woke with a gasp, chest heaving. he had killed the creature, smeagol, who wanted the magic ring. he shakes his head, stomach churning. no, no, no. a nightmare, only a nightmare. when a knock sounds at his door bilbo startles and, clearing his throat, says, "yes?" and the door opens to reveal thorin

THOU SHALT BE PERFECT WITH THE LORD THY GOD— walk before Him wholeheartedly, put thy hope in Him, and do not attempt to investigate the future, but whatever it may be that comes upon thee accept it wholeheartedly, and then thou shalt be with Him and become His portion.

"This is more about your ego and pride than Palestine" No its about putting pressure on a party that is supporting genocide

It's about logic

Biden and the DNC would rather cause dissent and dissatisfaction within their own party rather than call for a ceasefire

They know they can get away with it because they're a better option than Trump, because they know they could murder babies in front of you and you'll still vote for them.

So why would they call for a ceasefire when they don't need to?

That's why putting the pressure on them, saying they won't get our vote or saying we are looking for other options is so important.

Because that's the only way they will change.

By saying "Vote Blue No Matter Who", you give him and the DNC permission to permit genocide despite the vast majority of public opinion. You say they can do whatever they want because you will vote for them anyways.

You tell them they don't need to do anything else. That in fact they can do whatever they want. You've shown them you are so terrified of your own government that you would rather lie down and let it walk all over you than put any pressure on them at all

They have a year to make a change. Biden could end this all tomorrow, but why would he when he has you doing his dirty work?

#there is nothing to be proud of here there is no ego here #if anything i am deeply ashamed that my vote and my country has allowed this to get so bad and that my tax dollars have led to this #i didnt read the whole ask because it was abother essay but if you are implying im voting third party because of an ego you are part of #the problem here #but im sad because so many people i thought were friends or people i admired have shown they dont actually care abouot the world #if it were my country's people that biden was funding a genocide against they would still expect me to support it #i want desperately to never think about politics or any of this but when millions of lives are directly at the mercy of my government #the least i can do is not give them a pat on the back and look away for my own comfort #at least in finding out who to block and unfollow i guess #us politics #joe biden

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

#the warriors 4 not being interested in anything Thor ‘learnt’ at all #and making it clear that Thor was punished unfairly and the AllFather’s decision had been harsh #Loki saying he’s happy for Thor and Thor sees the way the smiles are forced and he sees the way Loki avoids any touch #Thor hating the way Frigga talks about Loki’s short regency and Thor’s absence like it wasn’t two whole decades or something #like she’s so grateful to have her other son back without ever addressing why he was gone #Thor just. growing during his time on earth and being much more aware of the behaviour around him #he learns to be critical and assess why people around him may act a certain way #once he realises that it’s possible for him or anyone else to be fallible and make mistakes it’s over for Asgard for him I think #Thor returns and Loki gives him the throne and everyone expects him to obviously have the throne #and Odin is sleeping and Thor isn’t comfortable with the way everyone accepts him as king regent after the banishment #Loki who either never lashed out against Jotunheim or did and it was brushed away and no one thinks about it as anything #but Loki is still deeply affected and acts the way he always would have but Thor can feel it’s not the same #he knows something is wrong and Loki won’t say anything about it and Thor doesn’t know how to bring it up #Thor sees Loki metaphorically receding into the shadows to become a nonpresence so loud Thor hears it even after returning from decades away #Thor goes to Earth and gets his priorities in order gets a new worldview learns not to take what he has for granted #and finds out he actually despised Asgard #he’s been back a week and he can’t stand it

Silt Verses protagonists // Returning Home

#the silt verses #hi just realized carpenter and faulkner's returning home episodes are both chapter 9 of s2 and 3 respectively #idk what to do with this info #anyway something that makes me deeply emotional about this #just the way all of them return to it #paige expecting to come home to an empty abandoned place. surprised to find what's there. seeing the land as unpredictable. #carpenter knowing of the ruin of her previous childhood home. haunted more by the people she left behind. finding no comfort in being back. #faulkner being optimistic. saying perhaps his home could be a temple one day. this is the safest place i could be he says #(and I can't help but think about faulkner leaving marks before he left his home. so that no one else could find a home there.) #(both paige and faulkner returning home when they have no where else to go) #hayward looking up at his old home fondly. there's nothing left for him there. nothing he can find that he doesn't already have. #let her have the lie of me he says.

There’s a common experience of posting about the death of a parent, and then getting comments of people talking about how scared they are that their parent will one day die. And then wondering what’s lost in translation to realise that’s not an appropriate response

#sometimes a post isn’t for you! and that’s okay. but I always find it deeply insensitive to look at someone’s very real experiences of grief #and then your response is to talk about how you’re scared of it as if fear of something happening and it having actually happened are #anywhere near the same thing #and I’ve had it so many times where they’ll comment expecting comfort #no?????? #like yeah it’s horrible what do you want me to say in a space about grieving my dad
