Wild and impetuous. I expected more of the boy who bested my lord commander. Yet I see why my master covets you so. The power within you, Mythos. The potential.

#ffxviedit #ffedit #clive rosfield #barnabas tharmr #barnaclive #if they have another ship name pls lmk!#i knew this was homoerotic but now i'm seeing the details #like in the third gif with the way barnabas smirks at clive #he loves toying with him and seeing him give his all only to be bested #and you can tell Barnabas *wants* to be outmatched by Clive #he wants Clive to prove his strength and his supremacy #this is' so fuckn gay #and i'm v attracted to the way that barnabas just shoves clive with his shoulder and it's so forceful #also the details of how bloodstained and gritty clive is vs. how pristine and clean barnabas is #& how barnabas fights with one arm behind his back #anyway ok #i stayed up entirely too long making this last night #it was worth it but omg i underestimated how much time i would sink into this #mine

Nicknames

(for someone who’s using the wrong name)

There are nicknames.

Like someone named Jennifer, but who goes by Jen.

And then there are nicknames like the Apostles give people.

We see one in today’s first reading. The Apostles are friends with somebody named Joseph. Who they called Barnabas.

Seems kind of random. Until you read the explanation – “which is translated, son of encouragement.”

When you read the rest of the book of Acts, that’s what you’ll see Barnabas doing. Whether it’s by his words, his actions, or simply by being there, Barnabas lives up to that nickname.

All through Acts, there are countless moments that Barnabas can look back on and know that he made a difference.

It’s not hard to see that this is a God-given nickname.

The thing is, Barnabas isn’t the only person with a God-given nickname. Every one of us has a God-given nickname.

You want to know what yours is? Take a good look at the best of you. The moments when you know that you did the right thing. The big moments, to be sure, but also the everyday moments.

The moments that you can look back on and know that you made a difference, you did some good.

You in those moments? That’s who God sees when He looks at you. Not all that other stuff.

The stuff you wish hadn’t happened. The stuff you wish you hadn’t done. The stuff you beat yourself up about.

When God looks at you, He never loses sight of the best of you.

That’s who He made you to be. That’s where your God-given nickname comes from.

Which is why God-given nicknames are things like healer, supporter, encourager, helper, repairer, giver, builder, uplifter.

Today, take a good look at the best of you. The moments when you know that you did the right thing. The big moments and especially the everyday moments.

The moments that you know that you made a difference, that you did some good.

That’s who God made you to be. That’s your God-given nickname.

It’s time to claim it, to embrace it.

And with God’s help, to live your God-given nickname. To be who God made you to be.

Today’s Readings

#Nickname #You at your best #God #Jesus #Catholic #Christian #Church #Barnabas #Who God made you to be #Moments Before Mass

(Slides into ur messages) can I hear what u have to say about Dark Shadows and the theme of reincarnated love being attributed to Dracula? 🍿👀

crying throwing up etc yes you CAAANN thank you. and sorry it took me forever to type up this reply. it is,,,very long i'm so sorry i don't know how not to write essays when asked for a fairly simple explanation.

First of all, let me just say I'm not a pop culture historian and i don't live in the heads of anyone who's adapted Dracula, so I can't say with 100% certainty that any one thing inspired anything else unless it was explicitly stated.

OK! SO! I won't bore you with the entire history of Dark Shadows the television show. All you really need to know was that it was a live-to-tape Gothic soap opera created by a guy named Dan Curtis, who was a huge fan of classic horror (such as Legosi's Dracula films). The show adapted various horror classics like Turning of the Screw and Jane Eyre into a long running narrative about a rich family called the Collins, on the coast of Maine.

Initially the supernatural elements of the show were more subtle; but the show wasn't really landing and when the ratings started to tank around '67 Curtis and the writers decided to do something a little more bold and adapt Dracula. Just like in the book (spoilers for those reading for the first time!!) the vampire, Barnabas Collins, was meant suck some blood, kill some people, and die after wreaking the appropriate amount of havoc.

The thing about loose adaptations and Dark Shadows is that everything about it was made in an extremely adaptable format. The show was filmed live-to-tape every day and scripts usually only written a few weeks in advance; that meant that it gave the writers a lot of wiggle room to react to things the audience responded to well, and cut out things they didn't. And the audience really responded to Barnabas Collins; he was played by Canadian theater actor Jonathan Frid, who brought a lot of humanity to the part despite it being written in a very villainous way.

The writers had a prominent ghost around Collinwood named Josette Dupress who was often referenced in the early parts of the show; so they worked her into the story as having been Barnabas' doomed fiancé, who just happened to look exactly like a local girl named Maggie Evans. This kicked off the "Lucy" part of the plotline, but from here the writers began to deviate from the Dracula storyline. Once it was clear that the vampire was immensely popular (essentially saving the show from cancellation) the writer's began to tweak the character in order to justify keeping him around. They began introducing more human aspects to his character in order to make him more nuanced; one of the most prominent ones being his obsessive need to find and be reunited with Josette.

The show ran for over 1200+ episodes, and was a pop culture phenomena. By the end, Barnabas had firmly established himself as the main character of the series, and the Josette reincarnation plotline had been repeated several times. In 1974, two years after the series end, Curtis would go on to adapt Dracula into a television movie; he borrowed the reincarnated lover plotline from his own television show for that movie. Since then, it's become almost a trend in Dracula adaptations to follow this plot formula; sometimes with Lucy, but most often with Mina.

Not many people know about Dark Shadows these days, but the show had a huge cultural impact in the late 60's. Again, I'm not 100% able to say that every adaptation that features this trope is borrowing from Dark Shadows. Likewise, while a lot of the 'sympathetic vampire' or 'vampire as an affliction/disease rather than a creature of evil' may have have been inspired by something prior to Dark Shadows (Varney the Vampire is something to check out) it definitely helped to popularize the trope and bring it into the modern consciousness. (Sidenote; any adaptation that features 'curing' vampirism through medicine is, most likely, inspired by DS, but I'm not sure how common that one is)

So, uh, anyway! In conclusion if you're trying to mark out your bingo board of Dracula adaptations checking out a few episodes of the original Dark Shadows (NOT the tim burton one i cannot stress this enough) might be worth it. As an added bonus you get the world's most tortured pathetic Renfield-esque character, and a badass female doctor in the Van Helsing role. Thanks so much for asking and if you're reading Dracula for the first time I hope you enjoy it!!

#god thank you for asking this you're my new best friend i'm wiring 20 USD to your location rn #dark shadows #ds #dracula #dracula daily #barnabas collins #jonathan frid #ds 66 #josette dupress #asks #goooddd im so long winded

So now that I am back, I have a lot of words to say.

I think I'll start with Dion and Barnabas.

Everything with Dion's timeline seems to check out for me. His age is not weird to me. I HC'd him at 30 so it's only 2 years off. Unless I had him pegged as like, 38 or something, I could see myself being upset over it but nah he's just 2 years off the mark of where I had him. I'll take it.

His father is a fucking piece of shit. A lot of stuff I mused about last night with the anon was apparently wrong. Dion did present at 1, Sylv had his mother killed, took the kid - like, my god dude?? It makes me sad because I would have liked to HC that their relationship was VERY loving before Ana came into the picture, but it was not. It was written to sound as though Dad couldn't ever be proud of a bastard child and only furthered the opinion of Dion merely being a weapon. I'm so mad I'm shaking. But I'm not mad at the ultimania, I'm mad at Sylv.

Terence and Dion getting together at 18 is literally spot on with my headcanons. I've already mentioned many times that they were friends as kids and then boyfriends come 18. I'm glad I was validated, if I get one validation in life. And i'm so glad that Dion has Terence, because Terence seems to be the only goddamn person in the fucking world (until Joshua) that loves him for him and doesn't want to use him as a fucking pawn.

I love Dion Lesage and I am just so sorry he had to suffer like this.

Now Mr. Tharmr -

I HC'd him around 67 anyway, so 70 doesn't really shock me. I'm good with it. It checks out.

I'm good with Sleip being lord commander when he starts. Timeline doesn't bother me there.

Not fussed about his mother dying when he was 18. I think it makes a bigger impact because of how differently we process trauma as children vs. teenagers. I'm good with that.

I love that the second his mother keeled over he immediately created a bestie though. And by this, I mean my heart hurts that his trauma response was to make a "person" that could not be killed or leave him. What do you reckon that says about his loneliness and his fears before they get turned into akashic dust?

The fact that Sleipnir has been with him for over 50 years means they have had a LOT of time to get to know each other very intimately - however you may take that. In this case, I just mean deeply. It is no wonder that all Barnabas need do is send a look Sleipnir's way, and Sleip already knows what his good king is thinking. I think its beautiful. I think it makes us understand why Barns was a little softer, a little more raw, and more honest with Sleipnir than anyone else. You have someone so loyally at your side for 50 years that you technically "gave life" to by weaving him out of Odin's magic - you get close.

I don't remember anything else from him so feel free to job my memory but basically my thoughts are: I'm not really mad about any of this.

#c; sleipnir #c; barnabas #c; dion #c; terence #god bless terence tbh best character in this fuckin game #ultimania spoilers #ff16 spoilers

I think it's only me but I thought ffxvi cast was going to be a big found family because I thought all of the dominants were working with each other (ended up working together etc) going against Ultima. I mean... I didn't expect anything after I saw the arts and explanations behind them. Well, that means we have more headcanons and fics ideas.

#because they don't really look like enemy? At least for me #I thought 'oh barnabas is going to be the quiet but caring type oh dion is the ball of sunshine oh benedikta and jill are best friends'#like that #even though it turned out to be not like that of course I still love that game #can't even get it out of my mind #even without this game I'm already insane and now this game holding my brain hostage? whoopsie #ffxvi #final fantasy

actually now that i’m really pondering this blood kink thing i’ve got a few standout options in the ol’ cranium

-habitually bites a tiny bit hard into your lip whilst kissing so he can taste it (very much enjoys u biting him in this way as well)

-only ever thinks he’s done a good enough job during sex if he’s been scratched enough to draw blood (please lick it off of him he goes crazy at it)

-asks u to stain your lips with your blood and give him a blood-red kiss mark just under his shirt to have with him when you’re apart

-absolute period sex munch. send tweet

So do you just want me to give you my account details because how the fuck am I expected to top this
