VII. MICHAEL, THE FIRST SUCCESS

IT IS SAID THAT BEFORE MICHAEL, THERE WERE OTHERS.

god's earliest attempts at angelic creation were not failures - no, that word would offend the divine - but PROTOTYPES. wild, incandescent things forged of primal will and roaring light, beings so vast and uncontained they could not bear form; they were pure conflagration without comprehension, instinct without restraint. they ignited the void by existing, collapsing under their own weight, endlessly consuming one another; their wings flayed the fabric of space, their voices created gravity wells, their halos spun into galaxies. and one by one, they were let go - flung across the cosmos, becoming suns, supernovas, black holes: cathedrals of fire in which no soul could live. their burning sacrifice stitched light into the firmament of creation.

michael was the first to survive the shaping - not lesser, but CONTAINED.

the FIRST to hold all that wrath and holiness within, to kneel without shattering. he endured - more measured, immensely devout, and terribly powerful - god called him GOOD. and that word meant something: he was the first blade to take shape without slicing the heavens open, the first light to illuminate without consuming.

yet the same fire that once birthed suns - that old, apocalyptic WRATH, the kind that can unmake worlds with a whisper - still breathes like a storm beneath his skin; he feels it in the back of his throat when he delivers judgment, it ripples through his wings when they unfurl; he is not without fury - he is built around it. it is not extinguished - it is mastered; it WAITS.

when he walks among the stars, they bow.

he feels them in his bones when he crosses nebulae - their remnants, their discordant music, their RAGE; he is what came after them. refined. bound. a perfect weapon made in their aftermath.

when he gazes at burning stars, he sometimes wonders:

(was I made better? or just more OBEDIENT?)

Renault Nerva Grand Sport (1935-1938). The Nerva Grand Sport is an automobile manufactured by Renault from 1935 to 1938. The aerodynamic of the Nerva Grand Sport -type ABM 3- are inspired by the Rafale aircraft which won the Deutsch de la Meurthe Cup. A special version was built for the President of French Republic in 1938. Wikipédia

Decided to finally share the ABM fanart which I did like 3 months ago, featuring some Hozier lyrics that have been stuck in my head ~ ✨

@nicosraf

[ggukalaxy]

still deep in my "angels before man" brainrot and after reading @nicosraf's tweet about fan-favourite lines and dislking like 75% of his own writing, i can't not share my own favourites with rafa himself and also everyone else so get ready for a long fucking post

(side note: i haven't reread abm yet, so there could potentially be new highlights once i do reread it)

short explanation of what the position of the sticky notes mean:

• on the side of the page means this particular line or paragraph (19 marked)

• at the top on the inside means this page (4 marked)

• at the top on the outside means the entire scene starting from here (15 marked)

also, sometimes i didn't highlight a specific line or paragraph if it's within a page or scene i already marked (because i was running out of sticky notes lol)

let's get to it in chronological order!

1) page 25 to 30:

lucifer's first time flying with baal and his first time bleeding

2) page 49 and 50:

lucifer's first time watching michael fight

3) page 68 to 70:

gabriel telling lucifer about how god created him

4) this paragraph on page 86:

"so far away in the crowd was michael, with that proud grin of his and one hand in the air, but he called out to the youngest angel still. 'lucifer! lucifer!' even with all their distance, their gazes met and locked. an intake of breath, then the exuberant shout: 'lucifer—the lord has never made as fine an angel as you!'"

5) page 105 and 106:

michael and lucifer finally actually meeting

6) this paragraph on page 106:

"michael seemed to hesitate, before he turned to lucifer, and they were facing each other, seeing one another, for the first time since that day years ago when lucifer had led all of heaven in worship. up close, finally — lucifer felt all of himself melt like precious metal into a cast. 'you know my name,' michael said, and his voice had a mellow reverb to it. 'that's a shame. i wanted to introduce myself.' lucifer opened his mouth, but michael was grinning; it revealed little dips in his cheeks. 'i am michael, archangel of god, angel of strength.'"

(i was giggling and kicking my feet at this point, i love this moment so much i could scream)

7) page 107 to 113:

michael's and lucifer's first conversation with one another, right after that wonderful introduction above <3

8) michael saying this to lucifer on page 121 and 122:

"'that was a gallery? for art? i suppose it's no surprise that's where i found you then.'"

9) page 127 to 131:

god telling a story about a pure dove that dirties itself while lucifer is thinking about michael

10) michael saying this to lucifer on page 135:

"'(...) but i canceled it. i canceled all the plans i had for this.'"

11) michael to lucifer on page 147:

"'when i asked of you, angels said to me that your beauty was so great, one could take a glance, but never stare. (...) i learned that their words were true. when we wrestle, when we spend time together — the pain you give me is indescribable.'"

12) this paragraph on page 151:

"he discovered himself wanting to be afraid, feeling that he should be, knowing he should taste distress like his first visit to the bathhouse, but lucifer could still hear michael's words from when they had bathed. he thought of thorns, remembered those in his hands so long ago. the prince's eyes were shut; lucifer thought of tracing the bridge of his nose, his mouth, with his index, to see if he would prick him."

13) page 152:

lucifer and michael on earth, touching each other on their last day there

14) this paragraph on page 156:

"(...) but his hands went to lucifer's warm cheeks and, in a quick swoop, he planted his lips against lucifer's forehead; then he did it again, and again, pressing one kiss after another until he had done perhaps more than a dozen."

15) page 168 to 171:

lucifer and michael in lucifer's room, in front of his mirror

(lucifer's questions about why some things are the way they are... michael almost worshipping lucifer in front of their reflection... all the touches between them... oh i'm about to go feral—)

16) michael to lucifer on page 169:

"'for you, i wouldn't mind a little pain'"

17) page 177:

lucifer falling asleep in michael's bed without michael even being home

18) this paragraph on page 180:

"this, this here could be worship. "this—" lucifer pressed an innocent kiss to the prince's sweet, divine mouth. this could be religion."

19) page 181 to 183:

the interlude

(do i even have to say more? do i really have to go into detail about just how beautiful it is, and how every line sounds like poetry? i want to carve every word, every letter, into my skin, so deep that it reaches my bones, and stays with me long after i lose my flesh and soul)

20) these lines on page 201:

"the prince was grinning, waving him over, then offering open arms. when they embraced, it was tight, one of lucifer's hands going to michael's curls of hair and clutching it like an object once lost returned now to be cherished again; and the prince put his face up against the warmth of lucifer's neck and breathed low, hot."

21) page 210 to 216:

michael begging lucifer to stay with him, and then uriel showing up and just the entire conversation between him and michael, and him and lucifer

22) this paragraph on page 210:

"'simply my beloved.' michael smiled back, grand but sleepy, before he swung up to sit again. he shuffled closer to lucifer and chuckled warm, perhaps at the confusion on the other's irises and brows and mouth. 'my beloved lucifer.'"

23) michael to lucifer on page 211:

"'i think i'd like you to be the first thing i see when i wake.'"

24) page 250 to 253:

lucifer and michael touching each other, feeling each other

(i'm so weak for moments like these oh my god i could read a thousand pages just about every time these two even breathed in each other's direction)

25) this line on page 251:

"'i feel drunk,' michael murmured against him, then shuddered. 'your mouth— when you were created, your lips must have been laced with liquor.'"

26) these lines on page 253:

""we were over the flowers, and you touched me, remade me. (...) i want to be yours, your angel. angel of love, angel of michael.""

27) page 278 to 281:

lucifer cutting himself open

28) page 302 to 308:

lucifer trying to have sex with michael, and michael refusing

29) michael to lucifer on page 302:

"'don't make me say such embarrassing, affectionate things, beloved lucifer. but, let me say that — before i saw you on the street, dancing and singing, i was never very joyous. i was content with serving father, i felt i had no room to complain, but then you arrived. and being around you, i had so much joy i became irrational, and now — now, it's all spilling out. you make my heart swell and rise, like smoke."

30) michael to lucifer on page 303:

"'and suddenly i'm questioning everything, asking myself if this is really paradise, or if you are paradise.'"

31) lucifer to michael on page 304:

"'haven't you ever wondered why father is so strict about our subservience? it's because disobedience is creation. create with me, michael, and let's call it sin.'"

32) page 327:

lucifer finally losing his shit

33) page 328 to 330:

lucifer's speech about god being cruel and how angels are also good and deserve better

(just realized i didn't highlight this scene when i first read it and i'm honestly questioning myself right now because that whole speech and everything lucifer says is so fucking real)

34) page 340 to 344:

the moment michael disagrees with lucifer about the end of heaven and the end of god

35) michael to lucifer on page 344:

"'you're everything to me, the stars and the moons, the heat and the cold, the earth and the seeds, the waters and the flowers, but you are not god.'"

(also apparently didn't highlight this one and now i'm one hundred percent sure i ran out of sticky notes in that moment and told myself i'd do it later and ended up forgetting about it because this line absolutely broke me)

36) this paragraph on page 361:

"but the sword never made contact; a golden chain shot out from somewhere, grappled his entire body, flung him downwards. and lucifer, frozen, kicking, screaming — he saw michael suddenly above him (...). lucifer felt the tears land upon his own cheeks, as if they were his own."

(cut me open. let me bleed to death. break my ribs and crush my heart inbetween your fingers. it would hurt less than michael crying while hurting lucifer.)

37) page 362 to 367:

michael destroying lucifer on god's orders, cutting off his wings, and lucifer being damned

38) michael to lucifer on page 364:

"'apologize, i'm begging you, lucifer, stop, i can't do this— i don't want to lose you—'"

(just reading this again made me dry sob)

39) the last paragraph on page 367:

"the angels wept at their punishment — michael, between them all, his tears morphing into crystals, slicing down his cheeks and making him bleed."

40) page 369:

the little bits about the fallen angels finding lucifer on earth and how he loves them

so uhh yeah it's definitely safe to say that abm is literally my new favourite book now and i've been thinking about it every single day since i finished it a bit over a month ago and i find pieces of lucifer and of michael in every song i hear or every other story i read and i'll never get over them or over how good this book and the writing style is

@nicosraf seriously thank you so much for writing it and sharing it with the world, i will treasure it till the day i die

Parasomnia thoughts!!

1. In The Arms of Morpheus: I was sooo tense waiting for the ambience to kick into a riff or something lol! and when it did it was very cool, drums are immediately so Mike Is Back, Petrucci is awesome as always, more melodic than I was expecting but a nice album-focussed way to start :)

2. Night Terror: we already knew this as a single and I’ve loved it since first listen, a true prog-metal banger. loooove the dark vibes and the catchy chorus works weirdly well!

3. A Broken Man: another single, this one was more of a grower but I really like it now! the Deliverance vibes at the start are excellent (the darker atmosphere of this album in general is fairly Opethian which considering my current fixations is fine by me lol). the way it builds is awesome, and I’m a fan of the slower hulking heaviness of the verses. that interlude-y bit at 3:00 is so cool. WHY did it take a few listens to get into this one??? maybe it’s hitting different in the context of the album but damn

4. Dead Asleep: aaah something new… immediate reprise of a tune from ABM is cool! they are SO GOOD at creepy intro -> evil riff. that organ(?) at 2:00?? so dark I love it. niiiice melodic Petrucci solo, gotta love those. more big riffage and crazy instrumental, awesome. piano at the end… do I spy an interlude… ooh closing door okay, and into MM! Niiiiice, loving how it flows as an album so far

5. Midnight Messiah: last single, and another track that I really enjoyed from the get-go <3 Train of Thought vibes are strong on this one which is fantastic bc that’s my fav DT album besides I&W. the thrashy sound is a little different for them which is cool!

6. Are We Dreaming?: ✨ambience✨ & once again I’m very tense for whatever is coming! a well-placed breather after the chaos of MM. also organ babyyyy

7. Bend The Clock: ooh that opening guitar sound?? Mr Petrucci I adore you. Ballad? Acoustic guitar? Pretty! Again this is well-placed after the intensity of the first bunch of tracks. Very much enjoyed the riff at 1:30 and the evolution into a more fully-fledged song. It’s so epic and dramatic but has weight to it which is the perfect way to do a softer song to me!

8. The Shadow Man Incident: last song 😨 but it’s an epic so all is well. Honestly I’m just gonna sit back and take this one in otherwise this will be ten paragraphs long lol. The narration voice though – Neil in The Necromancer vibes much?! And that section at 10:30!! The whole instrumental bit OMG this is freaking awesome. Near the end: what is this last minute for…? Oh back round to the ambience from ITAOM! And ‘wake up’! This is such an ALBUM album and I love them for that

General notes:

James sounds awesome! they clearly paid attention to where the vocals would fit into the songs and what works with his current voice which is great

my new policy of listening to new things on headphones is working well bc the stereo is well-used, especially in all of Mike’s fills! they’re all over the place, as they should be.

the guitar sound is so meaty and EVIL! the atmosphere is so dark which I enjoy. great production too, the sound is just excellent

Conclusion: AAAAHHHH

this was such a difficult one for them to pull off with all the anticipation and they’ve done so well! I love it and am immediately listening again! It’s so DT but also has a fresh vibe to it which is perfect. I’m proud of them 🥹 <3

also: WHEN PARASOMNIA TOUR I NEED TO SEE THEM AGAIN

airsLLide No. 503: D-ABME, Boeing 737-230 Adv., Lufthansa, Frankfurt, May 3, 1986.

Lufthansa replaced its original Boeing 737-100s with the Boeing 737-200 Adv. between 1981 and 1983, taking delivery of 34 units. To cater for growth in its intra-European network and to fill the gap until the first CFM56-powered Boeing 737-300 arrived, Lufthansa placed a follow-up order for six Boeing 737-200 for delivery in 1985, registered D-ABMA through D-ABMF. The just one year old «City Jet Schweinfurt» is seen here lifting-off from Frankfurt's runway 18, commonly referred to as «Startbahn West» as it lies along the Western perimeter of the airport and is exclusively used for take-offs of Southbound and Westbound flights.

Mastering B2B Sales: Your Essential Guide to 20 Proven Strategies and Tactics for 2025

The B2B sales landscape is transforming rapidly, driven by advancements in technology, changing buyer behavior, and heightened competition. As businesses gear up for 2025, the focus must shift to a more strategic, data-driven, and customer-centric approach to achieve sustainable growth. Below, we delve into 20 essential strategies and tactics that every B2B company should adopt to refine their sales processes and thrive in the ever-evolving market.

1. Personalized Customer Engagement

In today’s competitive environment, personalization is no longer optional—it’s essential. Tailor your messaging to address specific customer pain points and needs. Use CRM platforms to track interactions, preferences, and behavioral data, ensuring every touchpoint feels meaningful and relevant.

2. Adopt AI and Automation

Artificial intelligence and automation tools are transforming how B2B sales teams operate. From chatbots handling initial inquiries to AI-driven analytics predicting customer needs, these technologies streamline workflows, improve efficiency, and help prioritize leads for better conversion rates.

3. Focus on B2B Lead Generation in India

With India’s growing economy and increasing demand for B2B services, it’s a hotspot for lead generation. Companies like The Global Associates specialize in capturing high-quality leads in this region, enabling businesses to tap into one of the world’s fastest-growing markets. Invest in localized marketing campaigns, and utilize platforms like LinkedIn and Google Ads to target decision-makers effectively.

4. Implement Account-Based Marketing (ABM)

ABM is a powerful strategy where marketing and sales teams work collaboratively to target high-value accounts. Instead of casting a wide net, focus your resources on a select group of prospects, delivering customized campaigns that directly address their specific needs.

5. Enhance Your Digital Presence

Your online presence is often the first impression potential clients have of your business. Ensure your website is optimized for SEO, mobile-friendly, and offers a seamless user experience. Regularly update blogs, whitepapers, and case studies that demonstrate your expertise and add value to your audience.

6. Develop Multi-Channel Outreach

Gone are the days when email alone could drive sales. Today’s B2B buyers expect communication across multiple channels, including email, phone, social media, and even in-person meetings. A well-coordinated outreach strategy ensures you’re reaching prospects wherever they are most active.

7. Invest in Value-Driven Content

Content is the backbone of B2B marketing. Create in-depth whitepapers, blogs, videos, and case studies that address the challenges your prospects face. Use content as a tool to educate and build trust, positioning your business as a thought leader in your industry.

8. Strengthen Sales Enablement

Empower your sales team with the tools, resources, and training they need to succeed. This includes access to up-to-date product information, buyer personas, and data-driven insights that can help them tailor their pitch to individual prospects.

9. Leverage Data Analytics

Incorporate data-driven insights into every stage of your sales funnel. Use analytics tools to track customer behavior, identify trends, and refine your strategies. This approach ensures you’re always making informed decisions that drive results.

10. Collaborate with Strategic Partners

Partnering with complementary businesses can open doors to new opportunities. For instance, a software provider could partner with a consulting firm to offer bundled services, creating value for both companies and their customers.

11. Focus on Customer Retention

It’s often said that retaining a customer is more cost-effective than acquiring a new one. Implement loyalty programs, provide excellent post-sale support, and continuously engage with your existing customers to ensure they remain loyal advocates for your brand.

12. Harness the Power of Video Marketing

Video content is increasingly becoming a preferred medium for B2B buyers. Use explainer videos, product demos, and client testimonials to engage prospects and communicate your value proposition effectively.

13. Encourage Referrals
