From Shadows to Spotlight: The Power of Servanthood

Have you ever felt like you’re stuck in the background, serving faithfully without recognition? You’re not alone. Many have walked this path, only to be catapulted into their greatest assignments. Servanthood is never a demotion – it’s a preparation.” This truth is beautifully exemplified in the story of Joshua. Joshua: From Aide to LeaderJoshua was introduced as Moses’ loyal aide, but little…

Dracula Daily Digest: May 4

Annotations:

Jonathan is finally starting to feel properly unsettled. Look at him go

Actually, I say that fully lying because he is not nearly worried enough. To elaborate: his writing indicates that he is beginning to feel more unsettled, but he is not as unsettled as we, the readers, know he should be

It's too early to be reading anything because when Jonathan said it was the "fourth of May" I got really jazzed because that's today! Girl, you're reading Dracula Daily

"She was in such evident distress that I tried to comfort her, but without effect." I think that this moment of Jonathan's is another wonderful instance to establish his character. As previously mentioned, he's extremely naive, but here we do see a definite compassionate side that will remain with him throughout the events of the novel. And that trait is for sure a great contrast to Dracula and why I personally think that this first chunk of the novel is so riveting.

Jonathan's reaction to receiving the rosary is really interesting to me. Not necessarily from a character perspective, though I do like it like that, but from a broader thematic perspective. As he says, he is an "English Churchman" and therefore is wont to regard artifacts of the Catholic faith as idolatrous, but he accepts it anyway. Superficially, this is out of the kindness of his heart, and I do think that that is why he accepted it, but from a thematic perspective, I feel like it is a marker of "crossing the threshold," so to speak. Jonathan, being in this foreign and secluded area (as established on May 3 and emphasized when the old lady begins slipping in some of her native tongue in her panic) has to forego the norms and principles that kept him safe when in England and now has to shift to abide by the rules of this new world, no matter how uncomfortable they are to him. The acceptance of the rosary is an important first instance of this shift in Jonathan.

"...but I am not feeling nearly as easy in my mind as usual." yeah no shit sherlock understatement of the year right here

Overall, May 4 is an enjoyable day. To read. And I guess on the "Scale of Enjoyable Days Had By Jonathan Harker" it also ranks pretty high, but the rest of the days set the bar in hell.

this sport is so romantic

[antianakin]

Happy fix-it AU where Padme leaves Anakin anyway because she realizes how bad he is for her, and she ends up retiring because she REALLY doesn't want to be a Senator anymore (it was also maybe encouraged by her Queen after her secret marriage to a Jedi was discovered) and she goes back to Naboo to be with her family. She's left behind her responsibilities but she doesn't know what to do now, she's just... adrift, sort-of in limbo and mourning her relationship with Anakin. She has to keep convincing herself not to go back to him because she KNOWS she doesn't want that anymore, she KNOWS she doesn't want to be the person she was with him again, but the thrill of the secret marriage to someone who was so passionate about being with her is also sort-of like a drug.

Her parents both offer to let her come help them in their respective jobs, but she doesn't really have the energy for that right now. She DOES like helping Sola with her nieces because their energy and innocence seems to be a balm for her heart. One day, Sola asks if Padme can take the kids to a local festival in Theed one day while she and her husband go do something else, and Padme agrees. The girls are old enough and Theed is safe enough that they can wander off on their own away from Padme as long as they know not to go TOO far and come back to her after a little while. As she peruses the different artwork on her own, one artist's work stands to her more than anyone else's, it just hits at the core of her and she's not even sure why. She stands in front of a painting of a bird in flight for what seems like hours, though it can't be more than a minute or two, before the artist himself comes over to speak to her.

He addresses her as Senator Amidala, and she quickly tells him that she's not a Senator anymore and she doesn't really want to go by the name Amidala either, she prefers just Padme these days. He agrees, and something about him, maybe his eyes, seems familiar but she can't quite put her finger on it. They talk about his art for a while and everything he says about his inspiration feels like it's speaking directly to her. Eventually, Pooja and Ryoo come up to her and start pulling at her hands, demanding that she come see something with them. Before she leaves, she finally realizes she didn't even know his name and asks him.

It's Palo. The first boy she'd ever loved. The last time she'd seen him she'd been twelve in the Legislative Youth Program. She knew he'd left politics to become an artist instead, but she'd never actually seen any of his art before or ever tried to get back in contact with him. Now she wishes she had. Pooja and Ryoo are still pulling her away so she doesn't have time to really get over her shock at this revelation before she has to leave him behind and someone else comes up to ask him a question in her place.

He shows up at her parents' door the next day with the painting of the bird she'd so adored, and offers it to her as a gift. He refuses to accept any payment for it no matter how much she insists, but asks if she'd be willing to take a walk with him instead. She agrees. They end up spending the whole day together, just talking. For the first time, Padme doesn't feel like she's drowning in her own feelings or floating with no direction. She feels a lot like she's finally come home.

Yeah everyone can fall for misinformation but if you have that misinformation corrected with sources and then continue to post the misinformation anyway because it serves a political narrative that is convenient for you you are no better than a member of Qanon.

THE AUDITORS / 감사합니다 (2024) Episode 1 — The New Head of the Audit Team

[grecoromanyaoi]

LRB but ppl rly see sexual violence as a "higher" or "more violent" form of violence than like murder or imperialism. its so telling how ppl try n draw a border between "regular" violence and sexual violence. which like, a. that border doesnt exist, different forms of violence often go hand in hand and b. when it comes to fiction and honestly real life too w the way social media is, ppl insist on differentiating sexual violence from other violence. they can blorbofy murder, they can blorbofy imperialism, assault, emotional abuse, literally any form of violence that isnt sexual. but then theres this line separating sexual violence. oh if u engage with it in any matter in fiction, the -phobia and -ism accusations jump out. its this almost holy form of violence that is somehow different from everything else, and cannot possibly be embedded into literally any other form of violence, or often acted out alongside it. does that make sense. im literally going insane.
