Repentance

Bible Verse Memorization

Praise

Our God is love. He is good. Everything about Him rings with goodness, faithfulness, grace, and mercy. And our Father desires that we draw close to Him, for He longs to pour this goodness out on us for today and especially eternity. He promises to draw close to us in James 4:8 to never forsake us. And simply, He encourages you and I to seek Him above all else. Because He knows that nothing compares to Him. Not cars, money, other gods, addictions, or people.

May I ask what were the best transformers media you ever saw/read?

Well Transformers Prime, Transformers 1986 and IDW comics are having the first place that’s for sure

And then the second place is kind of shared by Fall of Cybertron, Exodus, Prime wars trilogy, Robots in disguise(2001) and Transformers One.

The third place goes to G1, Animated, Earthspark, Armada, War for Cybertron Netflix series, Aligned Robots in disguise, Bumblebee, Rise of the Beasts and Cyberverse because I only liked some little parts of them.

And then I also saw some of the Bay movies, Victory and Headmasters and didn’t like them at all.

Separate first place for J-Decker. It is not exactly Transformers but it is a show about giant robots and I loved it

Steve seeing Karen Carpenter playing the drums on television when he's a kid and deciding, right then and there that he has to play, too.

Cut to a handful of years later when Eddie sees Steve pick up the exact percussion method from a song by ear alone, him tapping it all out on his lap, muttering the time under his breath. It's the hottest thing he's ever seen.

once again thinking of payneland and pet names so bear with me, if you will:

Charles calls Edwin literally anything he can think of. nicknames, for starters (Eds, Win, Eddie, E, so on), but also just the most random crap you've ever heard of. it probably started as more common pet names, but then it spiraled and now every time he makes up a new one Crystal stares at him like he's fucking insane.

I'm imaging the chain of pet names kind of like: love, babe, baby, sweetie, honey, my love, sugar, sunshine, boo, puddin', apple of my eye, romeo, toots, kitten, so on and so forth.

Edwin, on the other hand, barely uses pet names. Occasionally he'll use love or darling, but mostly it's just Charles.

however...

every now and then he accidentally lets slip an 'angel' or a 'sweetheart', and Charles melts every. fucking. time. Edwin will pretend it didn't happen later, but everyone just looks at him knowingly and says nothing.

BOYD CROWDER & AVA CROWDER in 'JUSTIFIED' (SEASON 2)

I lied for you taking that mining money. This is different, Ava. I guess me taking you in and building you up was a mistake. Just set you back to square one. That's not true. You took me in, and you healed me, Ava. You give me a reason to wake up in the morning. For that, I'll be eternally grateful.

The real fujoshi throne, of course, is Hodgson's cabin on the ship, perfectly situated between Little's and Irving's such that he can hear both of them jerking off and softly moaning the other one's name, each unbeknownst to the other.

I was recently fortunate enough to win an auction for a piece of Wedding Peach merchandise I've been unsuccessfully trying to win online for years (at this point, literally decades) and it got me thinking about how lucky I am to not be starting my collection today.

Prices for all older, more obscure magical girl items have ballooned over the past ten years but Wedding Peach merchandise is definitely one of the worst offenders. It's not uncommon to see single manga volumes going for 10k yen, 20k yen or more for the picture books, and let's not even touch on the amount the toys go for (literally several thousand dollars a pop).

In an ideal world we'd have better access to the series itself at least (the Japanese release of the DVDs and manga, for example, are in high demand due to the manga being out of print for something like 28 years and the DVDs being a relatively limited run from 25 years ago). I understand it's unlikely that we'll be getting more fun toys or merchandise for the series, but it is truly bleak when people can't even access the series itself.

This isn't some lost media type thing, this is just capitalism and it solidifies why I feel a sense of duty to ruin my own collection in order to archive what I have. If my house burns down or washes away in a flood, I truly don't think I can restart my collection and have a fraction of what I have now ever again. It's too expensive and too time-consuming, I simply don't have another 25 years up my sleeve to dig through every possible website to try and find scraps of 90s Ciao magazine issues.

In that sense I feel like I should share what I have with others while I have the opportunity. Even if a teenager today falls for Wedding Peach like I did as a kid, they would need to be extremely wealthy to get these pieces together and I just don't think your ability to own the core of a series should come down to wealth alone.

Goodness knows I'm not wealthy and I had very little growing up, hence my collection took decades to get where it is now. I don't want people to have to endure all that just to see a picture book from 30 years ago or to see an obscure illustration from a Ciao paper bag given away for free in 1994.

The efforts of fans keep series like this alive long after most companies have dismissed their long term profitability (although I do see you Germany with your beautiful hardback manga editions and I thank you).

Not everyone wants to break down their collection for the benefit of others and I respect that (there are some things in my collection I don't want to pull apart either), but I appreciate the efforts of those who do and aspire to do better with my own archiving as I work to get Weddingpeach.net updated to celebrate 30 years of the manga series.

I've been brainrotting SO bad about a specific rarepair it's actually unreal. I've never lost my mind this badly over a ship that exists nowhere else but in my mind but NOW?

Now these two make me so ill.

Like I need to be heard on this. Just hear me out here.

I've been yapping about this so much to my friend I'm afraid they're concerned about my sanity but I don't care because oh my god these two make me SICK. I hate them I believe they should explode.

Play It By Ear Fanwork Week day 1 - Song Lyric :)

I love Elevator Pitch and all the nonsense that Rashawn and Zach come up with in the discotheque song. Rashawn’s distant stare after the line "looking underneath my eyeball and seeing my mother" makes me lose it every time.

hickey wanting nothing more than to be seen and recognized yet going the entire voyage pretending to be someone he wasn't. even the status he tries to procure through the naval command hierarchy and then in his mutiny is still Not His. and in the end when he knows everyone around him is about to die he finally admits to not being who he says he is because he Needs Them To Know. he needs to be seen and recognized in his true self so that he can finally personally claim everything he has done here as his. something about his want vs need being a want to persuade and convince vs a need to be seen and recognized. he creates a fabrication of his identity to better sell himself to the people around him and get them to like admire respect him whatever it is, to make the voyage easier and bolster his ego. but that's so contrary to the whole reason he went on the voyage, which was to prove himself and gain some self respect in a world that he feels has mistreated him. but he didn't even go on the voyage as himself, and abandoned his past self and the mistreatment he faced when he made the decision to pretend to be someone else. he put ease and whatever illusion he held about a career navy man being more respectable than some rando on his first voyage over authenticity and genuine self betterment. he's so terribly self destructive and weak willed and insecure and draws the worst out of himself by being too afraid to ever be true to himself
