You’d never seen him without his papal makeup on; and even though he really only blacked out his eyes and upper lip, the sight of his bare face struck you. You’d known he was handsome, of course, in his own sweet way. This felt so much more intimate, looking into his mismatched eyes without his painted armor. Frankly, every part of his face looked more naked. You could make out the tiny freckles across his nose and cheeks, the silver hair at his temples starting to blend into the dark brown, the stress lines around his eyes and mouth.

Realizing that you were staring at him, you looked away, licking your lips nervously. You could feel your cheeks starting to heat. Still, you couldn’t help but return to his gaze, looking up at him through your eyelashes. “I’ve never seen you without… you know… your face. I mean your paint!” ---------- You are a Sister of Sin who has been shuffled around the various Ministry locations until you finally find yourself at the headquarters in Sweden. There, you meet Cardinal Copia, and form a very quick crush on him. Although, to be fair, he develops a quick crush on you too.

So like...Danny as Ghost King getting to help sort people into the correct/prefered afterlives, and talking with all the Justice League peeps to figure out what they want/where they want to go ahead of time like it's a pension plan or like he's a Travel Agent.

Like he gives tours around various afterlives around the Ghost Zone, offers up different "packages" they can choose from.

"With the Ghost Package you can come back to the living realm, but you will be locked in with an Obsession - it's not as bad as it sounds, but we can go into more detail later on what it entails if you're interested - and you will be bound to a particular Haunt. Also my parents might try to capture and experiment on you."

"Unfortunately you don't qualify for the Revenant package due to how many times you've already died and come back, but I *can* get you set up with one of our Reincarnation representatives if returning to the living world is something you are interested in."

"Guardian Spirit is a popular choice, so there is a bit of a waiting time in terms of getting paperwork processed, but if you sign up for it now while you're still alive all that can be done ahead of time and you can jump right in once you pass on. You will need to make sure you regularly update the list of who you will be watching over considering your propensity for adoption."

Lance stroll podium 2024?!?

I think I might be an angel, and the thought scares me.

I'm not religious and never have been– I don't believe in, serve, or feel any attachment to a god or deity, but something in me is still drawn to the concept of divinity, purity, holiness. I feel like my purpose is to watch over the world, to guide humanity through their struggles and teach them what is right.

I'm worried that to call myself angelkin would be appropriating something I know very little of, and I truly would hate to offend. But I can't deny the phantom wings on my back. Can divinity and atheism coexist?

I'm not sure what to do. Advice/reassurance/feedback of any kind would be appreciated. I feel so lost.

Lightning, water, and fire! Like forever before the plot starts. By the time the plot starts, the lightning and fire deities have been subjected to punishment by the two gods that picked them.

Oh (the fire deity) is first to be punished. They basically decide that since they're going to live for a long time, gotta set some long time goals! And they opt to be the wrath of the gods since most of the other deities are too 'soft' in their opinion. So Oh just. Smites humans. This isn't really a /good/ thing and in their defense mentally, they do it to help Ymber since he's the softest of them all. So their punishment by the gods is to be split in two, effectively halving the power of one into two. (Now they are in a male and a female body and use both male and female pronouns apart since they together make they but apart it feels weird to be they. But prior to the split they use they/them. Also the split bodies go by the names Ohiwe and Ohime.)

Fulj is the second to be punished. She falls in love with a mortal woman and that is a crime according to the gods. Mortals and immortals are not to be together and it will only bring suffering to both sides. So her punishment is her memories of the woman are stripped and her body basically broken to the point she can't remain physical all the time.

Ymber, unfortunately, is the one who blames himself for the discoveries and punishments. If he had only tried to restrain Oh more then maybe they would have chilled out and stopped before being punished. If he had only tried to persuade Fulj to not continue seeing the mortal woman so often perhaps she wouldn't have been punished. So he's just increasing the guilt on his shoulders every day that he remains unpunished since the elder gods have both laid down to rest. They can't enforce their laws anymore and none of the deities are keen on harming one another at this point. They just want to continue existing in peace.

I feel like more religions need to refer to deities in diminutive ways. In Latvian poems and songs, it's always been normal to call Mēness as "Mēnestiņš," or Saule as "Saulīte," or Dievs as "Dieviņš," the last of which has carried on post-Crusades since Dievs - once the name for the main god of a pantheon - became the general name for the singular God.

Imagine if English talked about the Son "Jesus, but we all call him Jessy" and the Father "The Lord, but friends call him Lorry", or "Holy Spirit goes by the initials H.S." or something like that. Some might say it's disrespectful, b-but I would argue that if you truly love someone, you give them a nickname!

One of the struggles I have with Vhae is that I vm get more genderfluid vibes from him much like you do from Corellon; happily one or the other. But also?? I think Vhae almost exclusively lives in male alignment for the benefit of the people who need him most. So you will almost NEVER see him portrayed as female, bc v little else would be so immediately alienating to those he's trying to help.

guwon is constantly letting everyone know how weak and insignificant he considers humans to be — how disgusted he is by how emotionally driven they are, and how much he prides himself in being The Demon — a being that is above all humans, a being that is significant for born mortal and immortal beings

it’s…important to him. it’s part of who he is

and yet

he willingly chooses to let himself be weak, be vulnerable, be emotional — he chooses to let his love and fear and desperation for dohee guide him to make his decisions for him, even if this means he’s become just another one of these weak, insignificant beings

because at the end of the day, letting himself love her with all the humanity that he had means that he will be significant to her. that he will matter, to her.

that he will be strong for her, by her side.

as important to her as he’s ever felt as The Devil to the entirety of humankind.

“you are my fate that i cannot [and will not] defy.”

Rereading your smutty fics in church 😬🫣

It’d actually be so super funny if you were reading my most recent one about sex in a church while you were IRL in a church 😂

i've always felt that when people attribute so much to their gods and whatnot all the time it really diminishes the contributions of all the people that played a part in A Thing Occurring.

imagine if like the ride pokemon join you as summons for traversal, every time you quelled a frenzied noble it joined as a potential party pokemon for battles

@emberphoenix-san I’m going to chomp on your hand

That moment when you realize that Mourndax is so flippant about everything bc ofc he is. Man's barely had any agency in his life under his parents' control, and he's less than five years removed from that. He hasn't exactly had time to learn how to make decisions of his own, and acting like you don't give a shit what the outcome is, or that you've simply changed your mind about it for no particular reason is a lot easier than admitting to still remembering how much the leash hurt when pulled on.

Concept: Whatever entity is responsible for the LU gang chasing Dink is frustrated by the heroes keeping secrets because it's making it hard for them to cooperate effectively. So they lock them in a space and makes them play their games. Involves some Links trying to circumvent certain plot beats (without success) and some being Bad at playing video games.

... just playing the games? because i feel Rulie gets the best deal of all of them, since Sky and Time and Twi and Legend and Wild and all have to blast all their past secrets and lost family or love and trauma on the screen while he just gets this one paragraph:
