I hate solitude but I am afraid of intimacy. The substance of my life is a private conversation with myself and to turn it into a dialogue would be equivalent to self-destruction. The company I need is the company which a pub or café will provide. I have never wanted a communion of souls. It's already hard enough to tell the truth to oneself.

Iris Murdoch, from Under the Net

All sins can be forgiven. Absolutely no sin is unforgivable. Yes, even that one. Yes, even that one. Yes, even that one.

Stop acting like violence and murder are an appropriate response to sin. We don't have to allow someone to continue to cause pain to others but we are called to mercy and forgiveness.

Christ died for all of us, and paid the price for all of our sins.

Yes, even that one.

I'm not gonna keep it together. I've been watching Breaking Bad, and I'm going to be acolyte next Sunday, and my priest is bald. I'm not going to stop thinking we're like gay Christian Breaking Bad. "JESSE! We have to Break Bread!" I'm not going to be able to keep it together, may God be with me.

Went to sung requiem mass today for All Souls’ Day, and I gotta say, us Catholics are very good at creating fire hazards.

"The purpose of human life is communion with God, which is the salvation of our souls—their eternal beatitude. And the means of fulfilling His commandments: submission to His will, which reveals itself in the circumstances of life; labor: the purification of the heart from passions; and humility that leads to faith, to accepting His grace, without which nothing good or holy can be accomplished in us."

~St. Arsenia of Ust-Medvedits

▲ Psyche for Neka~

Sometimes, whenever the mood takes her, Psyche will pull aside a random member of staff for some fun, aka, five minutes of the most mind-blowing head the poor guy's ever had.

"Often the work of the Lord itself may be a temptation to keep us from that communion with Him which is so essential to the benefit of our own souls." - George Muller

Belial & Wilnas would be unlikely besties your honor. Like I've heard people talk about "oh ha ha Belial & Fediel" but like no. NO. Wilnas is EXACTLY the guy to tolerate Belial's clownery. He'd be hearing Belials little baby clown car honking from the middle distance & be excited like "YEAH THATS MY LIL GUY. THATS MY BUDDY!" while Sandalphon & Michael are probably looking mortified. & like Wilnas is not always the best judge of things but he probably knows what Belial can be like. But Belial's resilient & so is Wilnas.

Bros can be throwing down. Just cagematch with these two every other week. But like affectionate. Sorta. You know in Belial's weird little way. Bc yknow. BELIAL.

& like there's this whole thing about Belial's other skillsets & the fact Wilnas burns food. Like holy shit these two morons can match each other in the fucking strangest of ways.

You & other anons are RIGHT. YOURE RIGHT. IM GOING I"NSANE YOURE RIGHT. You guys opened my eyes to be best broship ever.

considering my HC is that Belial would be terrorized by Fediel, i'm with you on how she wouldn't be the one he'd get along with.

but in term of his relationship with Wilnas, this is incredible. I've never thought about it that way but now this is all i can think about. They would probably get along so well because Wilnas doesn't have the sort of filter that would make him think Belial is going too far. He'd see Belial doing funky shit and he'd just nods because what a glorious way to use your time and free will!

and Belial would be so thrown out by this behavior but at the same time Wilnas is simple enough that he's not prying on Belial's business, so as long as he humors Wilnas once in a while they just end up having the perfect dynamic. just bros being hoes.

i'm so glad our sillies ended up leading a solid HC i find absolutely hilarious too. i want to believe in them. Most unlikely pair of them all but it'd work out.

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.

Acts 2:42-43 Authorized KJV (2022)

It was as if there were a force between us that defied explanation, that defied chaos . . . I am not one to believe in such things, but it did seem as if we could not be parted. We kept coming across one another in the city, and each time we met we began exactly where we left off.

Catherine Lacey, from Biography of X

i also think aether healing is like. a very direct accelerated sort of state return rather than a natural mend and you are forced to match your heartbeat and blood pressure and respiratory rate and body heat to the healer's frame of reference (their own living body) so you lose autonomy over your own flesh for a moment. so you are yanked between death and the healer. gourd HIMSELF dislikes being healed by other people for this reason so he understands and it's why he tries to put layers of separation like eos between him and the recipient and also never expects thanks and always expects people to come to their senses terrified and panicking. also he tried to do this to fray's corpse at the same time fray's soul reached into his and it was weird.

WAIT, so archibald’s whole thing is that he removes the barriers from one person to another during sex… does that mean he gets sex squared when he has sex w someone… he gets to feel what it’s like to be pleasured from both perspectives? and so does the person he’s with?…….chrysi’s really missing out because of her pride.

I want your silences.

I want your words.

I want your touch on my skin.

I want it all. It’s all communion with you.

We communicate with beings on Earth in a way that they can understand, rather than at a level where we appreciate the beauty of the whole.

If we did, we would be considered alien or crazy at best, or a poet in their terms.

Not everyone delves as deeply as others, but through trials, traumas, and infinity, we will all eventually comprehend the entire message, in the Word (the light). Putting people in their place has nothing to do with humility. It is pure rudeness and should be removed from one's actions. Everyone progresses accordingly and in due time.

— Mle. AainaA-Ridtz A R, When the Soul Speaks.

▲ Psyche and Neka~

He's good, she'll give him that much! But against a literal god of love and sex? Poor boy never stood a chance!~
