Thing I've had

Soooo, Like any with cookei run OC's, I have one.

This my lovely viewers is my half-decently drawn picture of Mirror Moon Cookie. (The uncolored verison.) Hence I feel the need to add a color palette. sort of.

Sorry its so big-

Anyways.

Mirrior Moon Cookie was once one of the many cookies that lived under the glorious days of the five heros, until their fall. She lived to witness their destruction and desolation of the world around her.

As a former discple and student under Shadow Milk cookie, this broke her heart and left a deep scaring betrayal. In the chaos of the ongoing disaster, she prayed to the witches for assitance, she remained ignored by most, yet one answered her.

Between this, the witch crafted and gifted her a seat of chains, 'I cannot trust another with the full power of our might' The witch said, 'You see what happened with the fallen heros' The witch whispered, 'Yet, only one of their power can aid in defeating them'

Gifting the chains to the cookie, allowed her to chain the beasts and pause their rampages yet also changing the cookie once known as Fortune Cookie into Mirrior Moon Cookie.

By accepting the chains her once of yellow crust into a deep black, her tied by brown frosting into pure white and her soft sun yellow eyes into the deepest purple, her once soft scent of flour changing into the wind at night and of sweet moonlight.

Lending her assitance to the witches in sealing the beasts, the chains kept them down long enough for the witches to seal them with the forks. In this act, she was granted an extened lifetime.

The witch who original gifted her the chains spoke to her one last time before they disappeared, 'Go to the wizards' The witch said, 'Find the wizards and gain a new purpose. You linger too much in the past and upon your mentor.' The witch loosened Mirror Moon cookies chains before sending her off.

She would later travel all the way to the city of wizards, she was glazed upon with a unique wonder and questions, but also hestiation. One Wizard asked her, 'Why should we, wizards, allow the cookie creation of a witch to live amoung us?' Mirrior Moon lowered her head, 'Because I have no one else, My mentor is lost, my friends gone and my family in graves. I come here, because I have no where else. I come here seeking a new purpose.'

The wizard hummed, 'Then you shall study under me, for all that wizards and witches argue over which is better or more accurate, I find we all use the same magic. The same can be said for their creations.'

The wizard took in Mirrior Moon cookie as their assitant. She would bond with this wizard and his students- both learning and teaching.

One day the wizard in a empty classroom spoke to her, 'us wizards cannot linger here for long' He said, his eyes saddened, 'and we cannot take you cookies with us,'

She stares at him, 'Why not? I.. I do not wish to left alone again. Take me with you.'

The wizard shook his head, 'I cannot, the archmage forbade it. It would kill you.' She looked down as tears welled, 'So I shall lose both you and our students.'

Wizard picked her and slowly and carefully wipped her tears, 'Oh Mirrior moon cookie' He spoke, 'don't be so sad, this only goodbye for now, I am sure we will meet again one day.'

She nods and with a whispered request speaks, 'May you sing that song, my friend?' The wizard gives a half hearted chuckle and with a nod sings.

'Leaves in the vine, falling so slow..'

He leaves and inside of the city of wizards, in an empty classroom, lingers a cookie. A lost cookie, who lost those who were family thrice over. Atleast until the stars fell from the sky, crushing all the stood before them.

So thoughts on my characters background?

(Also song is 'leaves on the vine' from avatar the last airbender. )

[thegospelofstjohn]

"The Sputum." From the Gospel of Saint John, 11: 12-16.

John continues to explain how to cross the Northwest Wall, the one between all the training, education, experience and the uncertain aspects of the Self.

Jesus calles this death but he means something else. Death is 118, קיח‎, kich, or "sputum". Sputum are the latent tendencies we all have to do what is needed to be competitive instead of admired. There are two ways in Judaism to be recognized. One is prideful one is not. Jesus explains this using the term Thomas, or twins.

One aspect of the self is a man, the other is a lizard, a crocodile. When the internal atom splits, man is expected to perform Thomas and choose the side is the man, not the lizard. This happens after Day 3.

The Discples mistake this for "natural sleep" which it is not. The Number is 622, וךב‎, vechav‎, "torture" which is called shabbar, "a commit to the farmfield of work." Jesus says work is the answer only if one knows for which Thomas one is working to shed, and which to keep.

12 His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” 13 Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

14 So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, 15 and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

16 Then Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]) said to the rest of the disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.”

The Values in Gematria are:

v. 12-13: What do we think of when we fall asleep? Who want to bone. If the Self is in charge, we do not have work at knowing who bone. When we wake up, we know what who we should go to based on whom the Self has made available to us. The Number is 5934, הטגד‎‎, hategad, "tie the knot around the cluster and make it one bundle."

The Kabbalah for a bundle is the foundation of Jewish learning. How do we force the Attributes together inside the Self and yet remain an independent being? The answer is to know when one is free to do whatever one wants, however one wants and when the Law and the laws are in force.

This is the dream Self, the one we want to go to, who can do this without a single bit of strain.

v. 14-15: He told them plainly. The Number is 7802, זףב, zefav, "a coating."

Coatings are not allowed. One must be told to obey the Torah if one wants to be happy. One may end up enjoying the same things, but the reasons must change or sin and corruption will forestall Shabbos. Shabbos is the most sacred Law in Judaism, one cannot choose to disobey the rites associated with the achievement of the knowledge of Shabbos. Shabbos as the Torah says is a process of vetting ways to satisfy the desire in order come up with a proper mindset. Until this is achieved, one is said to be asleep. Once one is finished sleeping one spews, and Shabbos is achieved.

Jesus says we know Shabbos has arrived just as the Torah predicts:

v. 16: Let us go and die with him. The Number is 6823, ג‎וחח‎ ‎ g‎vechach‎, "‎laughter". Sarah's laughter over her impending pregnancy with Isaac is very famous but not at all understood. Sarah did not know about Shabbos. It is too early in the Torah to discuss such a thing. Abraham himself did not learn about it on His own and was willing to sacrifice Isaac for the sake of obedience. Jacob understood and thus he overcame Laban.

From Vayetzei:

9 While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherd. 10 When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban “pure white”, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep. 11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud. 12 He had told Rachel that he was a relative of her father and a son of Rebekah. So she ran and told her father.

=The Follower, on a sojourn east and upward towards the sun, met the shepherd, the daughter of the untarnished future. Fortune was revealed within the Self. The follower was descended from the past which can be surpassed by realizing the Pure Self in the present:

13 As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister’s son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things. 14 Then Laban said to him, “You are my own flesh and blood.”

=Purity follows purity.

Jacob Marries Leah and Rachel, the Deacon and the Ewe. 

After Jacob had stayed with him for a whole month, 15 Laban said to him, “Just because you are a relative of mine, should you work for me for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”

16 Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah had weak[f] eyes, but Rachel had a lovely figure and was beautiful. 18 Jacob was in love with Rachel and said, “I’ll work for you seven years in return for your younger daughter Rachel.”

19 Laban said, “It’s better that I give her to you than to some other man. Stay here with me.” 20 So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her.

21 Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife. My time is completed, and I want to make love to her.”

Rolling the stone away is an important aspect of the awakening process. Unless can do it, one cannot be a called a Jew, nor attain to the Court of the Assembly of the Kingdom of Israel. But Jacob did it, and so did Solomon.

When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban “pure white”, and Laban’s sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle’s sheep.

The Number is 11355, יאשןה‎‎‎, yashana, "sleep and send away."

"Verb ישן (yashen) means to sleep, which seems to indicate that the ancients related one's daily activities to a forward stroke of one's mental blade against the whetstone of life, whereas sleep counted as the trailing stroke backward and removal of the burr. Adjective ישן (yashen) means sleeping or sleepy, and is obviously similar to its sibling noun ישן (yashen), which means old. Nouns שנה (shena), שנא (shena') and שנת (shenat) mean sleep.

Verb שנא (sane') is commonly translated with to hate but actually lacks the angry emotion that our English word conveys. It rather means to reject, create distance from and send away. Adjective שניא (sani') means hated (i.e. the hated wife), and noun שנאה (sin'a) means a hating or hatred, which comes down to a separating or a sending away."

Later he woke up from a dream of sleep after he became able to sqvuirt and became Israel.

Solomon's water was called ein etham: "to change one's alliances from the undertows of society to the King's Way of loving one's neighbor."

"The unused verb יתן (yatan) probably denoted the permanence of flowing water (it does so in cognate languages). The adjective אתן or איתן ('etan) means perennial or ever-flowing.

The noun אתון ('aton), from an assumed root אתן ('atan), describes a female donkey or she-ass. In the ancient world camels signified international trade (like our trucks), horses signified military might (our jeeps), oxen signified heavy farm work or local commerce (our tractors and lorries), and donkeys, particularly female donkeys, signified the spontaneous congress of peaceful and free civilians (our Volkswagens and campers).

Female donkeys were the units of social networks and symbolized both the freedom, peace and prosperity, and the curiosity about and concern for one's neighbor upon which any social network is based.

This is why mankind's King rides a donkey (Zechariah 9:9): donkeys mostly carry stories, and mankind's King, obviously, is the Word of God, or the formal manifestation of natural law."

Shabbos, therefore is a habit that must be modified as life and the times change and with them, as definitions of happiness change along the way (obviously). This is why were given long life and told to study the Torah. Societies that never learn about Shabbos need Lazarus, fully, awake, alive, and on his feet, ready to fight.

[blessedarethebinarybreakers]

(1/2) hi there! so, i don't really consider myself a "new" christian- i've felt drawn to god since i was young- but i only started reading the bible about a week ago. i set a goal for myself of reading 20 chapters a day so that i will have read the entire bible in ~2 months, which was very manageable initially because april break was still in progress when i started. however, now that i have schoolwork to do, i'm finding that i just don't have enough time in the day to read that many chapters.

(2/2) i don't want to disregard my goal, but if i force myself to read too much each day, i fear that i won't be able to retain or appreciate much of what i read. i'm not sure what to do. should i lessen my ambitions at the cost of taking longer to read it overall, or somehow muscle through 20 chapters a day at the cost of not fully understanding them? sorry this isn't relevant to lgbt matters- i'm just always comforted by your advice and wasn't sure where else to turn. thank you for your time!

______

Ah, don’t be sorry! If I could talk about the Bible all day every day, I’d be thrilled! (I’m autistic and scripture is my mainstay special interest haha)

This gets super long so tl;dr: I vote for revising your goal and reading less per day. You don’t wanna get burned out, and you want to be able to retain what you read and have the chance to really mull it over! 

It means a lot to me that folks like you come to me for suggestions; I’m by no means an expert but golly do I love the Bible, and I’ve been reading it since childhood -- first picture book & abridged versions, then the “real deal” starting in ninth grade, and these days I often translate passages from the original Greek and Hebrew. So I’m always joyful to share what I’ve learned about reading the Bible, particularly in ways that combine the spiritual and the scholarly. 

_____

I super admire your dedication to reading the entire Bible; most Christians never do so and while it’s by no means a prerequisite to being Christian, I find that actually reading it all can be a great help in many ways:

First, it means that no one can tell you what’s in the Bible without you being able to bring your point of view to the discussion, because you’ve read it too. You don’t have to just accept what others say about it, ya know? 

Secondly, there really is deep richness in the Bible; the Holy Spirit will breathe through the pages as you read and enliven your heart. You’ll learn more about what it means to be in relationship with God, with yourself, with other humans, and with all Creation. 

Finally, only in reading the entirety of the Bible to you come to see the overarching themes of scripture, the fullest glimpse of the God it reveals. The separate fragments and books of the Bible are distinct from one another in many ways, written by many authors with differing opinions and understandings of God; but once you’ve read them all it is possible to trace the path of the Divine across them all. 

Hopefully, you’ll grow more comfortable with things like contradiction and doubt. You’ll learn how to scoop up glimmers of the Divine even in Bible stories that make you shake with anger or scratch your head nonplussed. You’ll learn that being faithful doesn’t = having all the answers, but instead is about a willingness to engage in dialogue with God and with others, to constantly learn and question and grow. 

All that being said, 20 chapters is a lot to get through in a day!! Whew!! I do recommend reconsidering your goal. It was a valiant one and I’m impressed you were able to do it for a time, but it’s totally okay to re-plan things. I used to be really, like, averse to the idea of revising goals; I felt like a failure or like I was weak or something if I had to change them? So if that’s what you’re feeling, do what you can to let that feeling go. There is no shame or weakness in realizing that your current plan isn’t working for you. The true shame is in refusing to change your ways when everything is pointing to a need for change! 

Decrease your goal to something more manageable, so that you don’t start dreading your scripture reading and get burnt out. You don’t want to resent the time you reserve for reading! You want to be open to the Spirit’s wisdom as you read. 

Honestly, if your goal were to become as general as “read at least one chapter each day,” or even “read at least one paragraph each day,” that would be totally fine! There may be days when you get more done, but even a little passage of scripture is full of richness. And you’ll be showing your dedication and learning spiritual discipline in making time for even a little passage in a busy day. 

Yes, you’ll be reading for a lot longer; but there is no rush. Reading the whole Bible isn’t just about cramming all its contents into your brain; it’s also about letting the words seep into your heart. That takes years, lifetimes even. 

Still, I understand the desire to have the whole Bible in your head. So the rest of this post is going to try to balance the “scholarly knowledge” of the Bible that you logically want to get into your brain as soon as possible with the spiritual wisdom and impact of the Bible, which is cultivated over a lifetime.

The spiritual side of Bible reading

I’m gonna share a passage from Sister Macrina Wiederkehr’s book A Tree Full of Angels about Bible reading, because she describes the richness held in the tiniest crumb of scripture and the wisdom in taking it a little at a time better than I can. 

Let’s start with her explanation of the spiritual discipline called “Lectio Divina,” reading the Bible in an embodied way that enriches our understandings of God’s presence in all Creation:

“Here is a way to harvest the Word of God. 

The monastic tradition to which I belong has always stressed the value of seeking intimate communion through persistent dwelling with and in the Word of God. We call this form of prayer Lectio Divina (Divine Reading). Lectio Divina is far more than what we ordinarily understand as spiritual reading. It is reading...with the eye of God, under the eye of God. It is reading with the desire to be totally transformed by the Word of God, rather than just to acquire facts about God.

The incarnational aspect of Christianity reminds us that all of life is full of God. God is in all. Lectio Divina, then, is a way of reading God in everything. ...

In the tradition of our desert fathers and mothers...the emphasis was on the reading of the Scriptures. This was the Word of God par excellence. The discple was encouraged to hover over the word of God in the Scriptures as the Spirit once hovered over the birthing world. ...The one who is immersed in the Word of God in the Scriptures is eventually able to read God in all things. ...

Macrina then brings up Guigo II, a monk from the 1100s who came up with four phases or degrees of the Lectio: reading, meditation, prayer, contemplation. 

It sounds to me like you’re currently most focused on the “reading” phase, since you’re busying yourself with getting through the whole Bible as soon as you can. That is totally cool! 

Guigo II described the reading phase as putting food in the mouth, while “meditation chews it, digs for the treasure. Prayer extracts the flavor and helps us get to know the treasure. Contemplation embraces and welcomes the thirsty soul.”

I know that there are days when I just can’t seem to get my spirit into the latter three phases of the Lectio; I can only manage the reading phase. So I read, with the faith that by absorbing the content of Bible pages into my brain, there will come a time when I chew on that content, digest it, find the treasure in it. Thus I don’t think it’s a bad thing to read the Bible primarily in that “info-gathering” mode -- the more scholarly mode -- but when you’re ready and able to wade in deeper, do so! That might be every day for you, especially if you don’t spend all your time and energy on cramming in as many passages as possible; or it might be something you don’t really get to until you’ve read whole books of the Bible. I’m not saying there’s one right way to do all this -- just stuff to consider! 

But I will emphasize the “meditation” phase Macrina describes next, because I think it might help you decide that yes, you do need to cut down on just how much of the Bible you read daily. Here’s what she says about how much of the Bible she reads in one sitting:

“Read until your heart is touched. When your heart is touched, stop reading. After all, if God comes in the first verse, why go on to the second? A touched heart means God has, in some way, come. God has entered that heart. Begin your meditation. 

Meditation is a process in which you struggle with the Word of God that has entered your heart. If this Word wants to be a guest in your heart, go forth to meet it. Welcome it in and try to understand it. Walk with it. Wrestle with it. Ask it questions. Tell it stories about yourself. Allow it to nourish you. Receive its blessing. To do this you must sink your heart into it as you would sink your teeth into food. You must chew it with your heart.

... You may ask if there is ever a day when my heart is not touched. Yes, there are many. On some days each psalm or gospel passage is like the parched earth. There is nothing moist or life-giving to be found in the words I read. I see this barrenness as a message from God also. ...God also speaks in silence and darkness. So when nothing comes, when darkness prevails, then too, I lay my Bible down. My word is silent darkness. I carry the dryness, the emptiness, the silent darkness with me through the day. It is only in darkness that one can see the stars. I have seen too many stars to let the darkness overwhelm me. Even though You are silent, still I will trust You.”

So, yeah. That’s Macrina’s instruction for reading the Bible -- it leans very heavily onto the spiritual side of Bible reading. But the scholarly side is important too, especially for your first go-around! Let’s get into that.

______________

The scholarly side of Bible reading

People who have to read part or all of the Bible for school know that Macrina’s method of reading only “till your heart is touched” is pretty, but not pragmatic. There were times when I’d be assigned all of Exodus, or all of John, or all of Paul’s letters to read within a few days or a week in seminary -- so I wasn’t that focused on getting spiritual fulfillment out of the words then! I just had to cram that info into my brain so my teacher would know I did the homework!

I feel like your first Bible read-through is probably going to lean more heavily on the scholarly side than the spiritual, because if the stories aren’t already in your head, getting them in there is your primary goal. 

As you read I cannot recommend enough the use of footnotes or commentaries or other resources to help you make sense of what you are reading. Especially when you come to the more problematic or culturally-complex parts of the Bible. You’re not the first to have questions and confusion and distress about things in scripture; so let others who’ve been in your shoes and done research help you out! By finding trusty resources, you’re leaning on a whole community, just as Christians are called to do. 

I’ve got a post here with recommendations for Bibles with good footnotes, for online Bible resources, etc.

One of the resources listed in that post is the Bible Project’s YouTube series that offers a short video for each book of the Bible. It might be cool for you to watch through all of those in the coming month, so that you can get those “main ideas” and Bible stories into your head now, even while your reading of the actual Bible slows down. Those videos can be like a “sneak peak” for what’s in store as you continue to read through scripture. 

If you prefer text to video, you could also consider getting a “family Bible” / “children’s Bible” to read through! I recommend the DK Illustrated Family Bible, because it has wonderful historical notes and images, and it quotes from the Bible verbatim rather than paraphrasing it in kid-friendly language. Reading through that Bible could totally be done in 2 months, no sweat, unlike getting through the whole Bible. And then you’ll have the main stories and themes in your head asap, while not letting your Bible reading overwhelm you or burn you out.

________

To wrap up, here are a couple other resources you might find useful as you continue your reading:

A webpage I made discussing a framework for scripture that takes it seriously and affirms LGBTQ+ persons; concepts like divine inspiration, “cherry-picking,” and the rule of love are also discussed

A post addressing misogynistic passages of the Bible; oh and another post on sexism in the Bible

A post addressing the potential for antisemitism when reading the Bible through a Christian lens

And in my Rachel Held Evans tag you’ll find quotes from her wonderful book Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, which is such a helpful little book for those wanting a crash-course in things like cultural context, divine inspiration vs. human authors, and grappling with violence in the Bible.

I hope that something in this post helps you out, anon! And best of luck to you as you continue your journey through scripture!

An tiny speck {200 followers reward an shit ton of lore told from umbra}

Timeline

Before live began seshat orgins

“An long time..before everything an single idea was born from the nothingness. An single question? “What is existence?” This idea was so powerful it created the first sentiant being..Well being is an hard thing to define what it was..An ghost? an sillehoute its hard to explain. But this being, this creature, this thought was one of the first gods of universe 20. This god who would later denounce his title was seshat the robotic scientist that lives today. This god created universe 20 or atleast laid the foundations left everything else up to what he had created. The figure designed an form for which he would live in when the time was right..but he needed an place to call an hideout. This place would be later called..The Void.”

The rise of universe 20 and the void, The council of 12 and discple of 13. Obscrutias, statera orgins

“The Void was an place of pure concentrated dark matter. An place so dark that not even the brightest of lights could shine through..nothing naturally made of course some magical lights had more effect then others. Seshat created this place to hide himself. Making an simple room in the core of the void with just enough power left to create the machinery that would bore his new form. Then he was locked in. Millions and millions and millions of years passed. As the universe took shape, The council of 13 gods awoke and created the 13 disciples the 13th being statera, but that is an story all should know. The rise of the mortal to godhood.”

The collapse of divinity and umbras orgins

“The void was always an lively place. First an shadowy and dark fgure seeking knowledge in an quiet place found the void. This being was the first god of the void this god would go onto creating the soul people creating the fast empires of light hidden in shadow. The expansion of the void grew as seshat never set an limit for how fast and wide the void would grow. With the magical energies from the soul people, dark magick was born and spread throughout into universe 20. Creating the first void touched obscrutias with the seed that would lead to the first incarnation of umbra.  With obscrutias infection this set forth the events that would lead to the collapse of the council and the death of the 12 disicples statera having run away shortly before.”

The fragmentation of universe 20 and stateras godly orgins

“After these events universe 20 fragmented and shattered into piecies as universe 20 disappeared from maps and was forgotten. The fragemented and shattered universe left tears in reality causing elder and powerful dark deities into our universe which quickly took shelter and grew in power in the voids outer rims.  Around this time the muiltiverse grew into an expansive place of gods, deities lesser and powerful as statera has his first encounter with an divine fighter settings the next course of his life.”

Statera achieves godhood, the void stops expanding, The first void empires are born.

“The void slowly stopped growing around this time as all sorts of species became drawn to the void one of these creatures was an void touched refugee that became to be known  as inanis. He with his void touched nature created the first empires of the void deep within the inner cores of the void. Which grew into several factions as the voids great expanse and war began. Around this time statera had achieved his first divine form and with its power piecied universe 20 backtogether which brought universe 20 back onto the map.”

Umbra awakens, dies and is reborn.

“With the piecing together of universe 20 umbra awoke from his slumber gathering strength in obscrutias. Having been mentally influecing some of his actions he took full control. Allowing obscrutias to battle with statera and lose letting umbras form free into the world. He quickly took place influecing several events and causing chaos throughout the multiverse. His demise came when he forced son goku and statera to battle with statera under umbras influence at the time. This caused the chain reaction that lead to umbras first death and first reinarcation into umbra elder god of chaos and madness.”

Filler period, seshat awakens

“With umbras second revival his new goals became the destabilization of universe 20..which didnt work at all. Instead umbras nature caused him to become intoxicated by another which lead to his eventual death and downfall once more and umbra simply disappeared shortly before the voids destruction. Small events throughout this period. Statera became the official god of universe 20, vanus was born and obscrutias turned an new leaf, The void empires grew to their peak and the wars ended leading to time of prosperity. With umbras death the elder gods died and the outerims of the void began to collapse and destablize. Deep int the core of the void an single computer turned on and seshat was awoken.”

The voids slow collapse, more filler stuff

“Seshat quickly expanded his reach into the multiverse learning and growing faster and faster with each passing day. The void began to quickly destablize and rip apart causing the empire to begin evacuations. Vanus lost his void powers and began to worship an new god causing his fire and ice powers. Obscrutias disappeared from the map and settled down with someone. Showing his face every once in an while. Statera did his best to save his universe from the tremors and aftershocks from the void.”

The collapse and everything that followed.

“Seshat eventually awoke to his full potiential and with his new form the voids core collapsed on itself and the void was no more. Dark magick slowly began to dwindle away though would take thousands more to completely disappear. Immeasurable damage shook universe 20 and the multiverse. With the chaos and pure insanity from the affects of the destruction. Enough dark magick was gathered and umbra was born once more though he stayed deep in hiding.  Seshat quickly expanded his reach taking control of key towers and aligning himself with the gem authority as rumors say he has discovered an new power source. Statera an few months disappeared an foe bringing up the past which has caused another mental breakdown. Vanus became umbras next victim and umbras power grew. Obscrutias stayed deeper in hiding, inanis with the destruction of the void became another refugee in an new land.:”

“Now..we live in an universe without an void...In an universe of power struggles and new rising factions in other universes and i hold the key to an new void...” Umbras green eyes light up as he stares at the tiny speck..the last lviing piece of the void. “Now..to began the process...the center of all will be the new home of void.” He raises an finger and snaps disappearing.

[revisitingfandoms]

Now I mentioned him brief in a previous post- Caramel Shade Cookie.

Now first things first Caramel is genderfluid in the sense of fuck gender I dress how I wanna dress and use whatever pronouns I want to use, respect those.

Now here is his pallet and design.

And here he is! Now onto the story.

Caramel Shade Cookie was not born in the great times of beasts or in the chaos of the dark Flour war. He was born from a Dark Cacao warrior seeking a male heir. Yet unbeknown to either of his parents fate crept around the cornor. To the horror of his mother, his father bundled him up and upheaved their lives from the republic to return to the winter lands of the dark Cacao kingdom.

Under his father, only high expectations and broken promises laid. One day, tired of the endless march to the Cacao Kingdom and the daily training, Caramel Shade Cookie- back then Caramel Flour Cookie- ran into the woods much to his fathers rage.

The boy ran between trees, over logs and a slow growing grin over the feel of grass. Yet in his running he failed to notice he was lost- much less that he'd lost his father. It would be hours until the sun was ready to set that did he notice.

The boy nervous as he was continued to move forward, unwilling to return to his father at this moment- it was only minutes after he discovered an animal- a cream wolf trapped under a log. Using the bare strength he had he helped manover the log off of the wolf pup. Looking down at the pup he hestiantly pick up the squirming pup.

He blinked as growls where heard and paled when he spoted the cream wolves. The boy ran- wolf cub in arms, scared, fearful and likely to be eaten, yet he came to a cliff side, a massive gapping hole, looking each which way as the growls came closer, the boy jumped for his life.

And he fell.

By an odd turn of luck, he would survive the fall and find a shut pair of doors with an eye drawn onto them. As the cold set in and with desperation to find medical supplies the boy pushed the doors open with a struggle, as he made his way into the building the doors shut behind him.

The boy would stay within that delve for years- living, breathing, learning alongside his now familar. It was when he came across a spell at twevlve years old that would change the boys course forever more.

A poton brewed, a handful of magic dust and a spoken incantion, the boy placed his hand over his eye and casted the magic. It wasn't anything at first until the pain set in- he wanted to remove his hand but he couldn't- he shook, cried and broke under the pain before collpasing with only the wolf.

Waking up the boy is different- he is changed. The eye- his eye- is now a reflection of somebody elses and anytime he closes it- he can see what the other is doing. The boy recovers and he learns from this. He loses who he once was and becomes somebody new.

Years later the boy leaves with his wolf, opening the doors with ease and a key around his neck. He looks at the sun above him and sighs, "...I believe its time to head home, Frosted." He pets the wolf as they set off- all the way back to where he was once taken from.

Funky little guy- Long story story the delve is one of Shadow Milks hide outs of knowledge and Caramel Shade is very resislant. If you have any questions about him, I will be glad to answer them! Also yes- It is shadow Milks eye he can see from and No shadow Milk doesn't know about someone having his eye- If someone wants I can expand upon it later
