[letters2fiction]

Welcome to Letters2fiction!

The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

[cartoon-character-competition]

I finally have ✨️the list✨️

these are all the characters competing, first two rounds will be randomized, then I will make a bracket out of the remaining competitors

polls won't start until at least this Wednesday as I'm having a very busy weekend and I still need to compile all the images, so in the meantime, if you wanna submit some images to help me out, please do!! images without backgrounds are the end goal and would be the most helpful but finding the images is what takes the most time so if you have one please send them!! you can via asks or dms. if you send via asks I won't post them and anons are still on if that makes it easier. once I get some I'll cross out the ones I have so you guys know what to submit

thanks everyone, and I'm sorry you guys had to wait this long!!!

In the 23rd century, inhabitants of a domed city freely experience all of life’s pleasures — but no one is allowed to live past 30. Citizens can try for a chance at being “renewed” in a civic ceremony on their 30th birthday. Escape is the only other option. Credits: TheMovieDb.

The Benson brothers in 1907. From left to right: Arthur Christopher "A. C.", Robert Hugh and Edward Frederic "E. F." (or Fred).

All the three brothers were writers. Arthur wrote the lyrics of the English patriotic song "Land of Hope and Glory", Hugh wrote the notorious Catholic novel Lord of the World and Fred wrote the popular series Mapp and Lucia and David Blaize. The Bensons authored multiple ghost stories as well.

All the three also had homosexual inclinations. In Fred's case, this often served as inspiration for a number of his novels. None of them married or had any children.

La novela-pesadilla de Benson sobre el Señor del Mundo «se está verificando ante nuestros ojos»

Robert Hugh Benson fue una de las más brillantes luminarias del firmamento literario católico en los primeros años del siglo XX, creciendo su estrella en el fulgor de varias novelas bestseller, y declinando, o apagándose más bien, con su prematura muerte.   Nacido en 1871, Benson era el hijo menor de E.W. Benson, un distinguido clérigo anglicano que contaba entre sus amigos con el primer ministro…

There is no such thing as indecisiveness in reality—it is no less than a rapid alternation of decisions. Ultimately, therefore, the rational soul becomes not what it necessarily understands, nor what it superficially loves—but that which it chooses.

Power of Prayer

8 PRINCIPLES OF SILENT PRAYER

(5-min read)

𝑾𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓 𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒂𝒚𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝒀𝒆𝒕 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒆𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑮𝒐𝒅, 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒈𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.

1 PRAYER: AN OFFERING TO THE THRONE OF GOD

The Fathers and Mothers of the Desert spent much of their time in prayer. The believed that prayer was as much a form of action as, for example, more visible works of charity. They did not need to be in the midst of those in need to offer fervent prayers for them. In their prayers they lifted up those in need – whether known to them or unknown – to the Throne of God.

2 PRAYER: GREAT WORK OF CHARITY

In the desert of the city, we all too often assume that prayer is not action, that our private prayers achieve nothing. Yet a person sitting quietly at home in the city, lifting up those in need before the Throne of God, surely labours against darkness and for the Light.

3 PRAYER: SACRIFICE FOR SUFFERING HUMANITY

An elderly and infirm priest, unable (as he saw it) to carry out an active ministry, lived in a flat on top of a busy shop. He told me, with a clear sense of inadequacy, that all he could do was to pray, and to pray especially for those who worked in the building. The image of the priest living “above the shop” and praying daily for those working below is one that will remain with me for a long time. Not the priest putting on robes and processing down into the shop (with incense and holy water!) to bless the workers (who would, in all probability, be either horrified or hysterical with laughter), but quietly, and unknown and unseen, praying for those who needed prayer, but didn’t know they needed prayer and didn’t know anyone was praying for them.

4 PRAYER: ADVANCES THE KINGDOM OF GOD

There is a remarkable (and, to me, deeply moving) story written by the English Roman Catholic Robert Hugh Benson (1871-1914). Originally an Anglican he converted to Roman Catholicism and became a priest, and subsequently wrote a number of what might be thought of as (don’t let this put you off!) spiritual stories. His story, “In The Convent Chapel” [published in a collection called Light Invisible] describes the experience of a busy parish priest who goes on holiday and stays in an ancient convent. He is rather dismissive of the old nuns who spend their days in prayer, unseen by and unknown to the external world, until, one night, he visits the chapel to pray, and observes a very old nun kneeling before the altar. As he watches her he is given a vision of what is really happening. In Benson’s story the old priest offers an account of his experience to a young friend (obviously Benson himself). I am adding part of the story as Benson wrote it, although the language may be a little old-fashioned now:

“And so,” said the priest, turning to me again, “I went on—poor ignorant fool!— thinking that the woman who knelt in front of me was less useful than myself, and that my words and actions and sermons and life did more to advance God’s kingdom than her prayers! And then—then—at the moment when I reached that climax of folly and pride, God was good to me and gave me a little light.

“Now, I do not know how to put it—I have never put it into words before except to myself—but I became aware, in my intellect alone, of one or two clear facts. In order to tell you what those facts were I must use picture language; but remember they are only translations or paraphrases of what I perceived.

5 PRAYER: VITAL CONNECTION TO GOD

“First I became aware suddenly that there ran a vital connection from the Tabernacle [in which the Sacrament was reserved] to the woman. You may think of it as one of those bands you see in machinery connecting two wheels, so that when either wheel moves the other moves too. Or you may think of it as an electric wire, joining the instrument the telegraph operator uses with the pointer at the other end. At any rate, there was this vital band or wire of life.

6 PRAYER: CHARGED ENERGY

“Now in the Tabernacle I became aware that there was a mighty stirring and movement. Something within it beat like a vast Heart, and the vibrations of each pulse seemed to quiver through all the ground. Or you may picture it as the movement of a clear deep pool when the basin that contains it is jarred—it seemed like the movement of circular ripples crossing and recrossing in swift thrills. Or you may think of it as that faint movement of light and shade that may be seen in the heart of a white-hot furnace. Or again you may picture it as sound—as the sound of a high ship-mast with the rigging, in a steady wind; or the sound of deep woods in a July noon.

The priest’s face was working, and his hands moved nervously. “How hopeless it is,” he said, “to express all this! Remember that all these pictures are not in the least what I perceived. They are only grotesque paraphrases of a spiritual fact that was shown me.

“Now I was aware that there was something of the same activity in the heart of the woman, but I did not know which was the controlling power. I did not know whether the initiative sprang from the Tabernacle and communicated itself to the nun’s will; or whether she, by bending herself upon the Tabernacle, set in motion a huge dormant power. It appeared to me possible that the solution lay in the fact that two wills co-operated, each reacting upon the other. This, in a kind of way, appears to me now true as regards the whole mystery of free-will and prayer and grace. “At any rate, the union of these two represented itself to me, as I have said, as forming a kind of engine that radiated an immense light or sound or movement. And then I perceived something else too.

“I once fell asleep in one of those fast trains from the north and did not awake until we had reached the terminus. The last thing I had seen before falling asleep had been the quiet darkening woods and fields through which we were sliding, and it was a shock to awake in the bright humming terminus and to drive through the crowded streets, under the electric glare from the lamps and windows. Now I felt something of that sort now. A moment ago I had fancied myself apart from movement and activity in this quiet convent; but I seemed somehow to have stepped into a centre of busy, rushing life. I can scarcely put the sensation more clearly than that. I was aware that the atmosphere was charged with energy; great powers seemed to be astir, and I to be close to the whirling centre of it all.

“Or think of it like this: Have you ever had to wait in a City office? If you have done that you will know how intense quiet can co-exist with intense activity. There are quiet figures here and there round the room. Or it may be there is only one such figure—a great financier—and he sitting there almost motionless. Yet you know that every movement tingles, as it were, out from that still room all over the world. You can picture to yourself how people leap to obey or to resist—how lives rise and fall, and fortunes are made and lost, at the gentle movements of this lonely quiet man in his office.

7 PRAYER: CHANGES DESTINIES

“Well, so it was here. 𝑰 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒍𝒕 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒍𝒊𝒑𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒑𝒊𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚.

The priest was trembling now with excitement. “Yes,” he said; “yes, and I in my stupid arrogance had thought that my life was more active in God’s world than hers.”

So a small provincial shopkeeper, bustling to and fro behind the counter, might think, if only he were mad enough, that his life was more active and alive, than the life of a director who sits at his table in the City. Yes, that is a vulgar simile; but the only one that I can think of which in the least expresses what I knew to be true. There lay my little foolish narrow life behind me, made up of spiritless prayers and efforts and feeble dealings with souls; and how complacent I had been with it all, how self- centred, how out of the real tide of spiritual movement!

8 PRAYER: SILENT GRACE

And meanwhile, for years probably, this nun had toiled behind these walls in the silence of grace, with the hum of the world coming faintly to her ears, and the cries of peoples and nations, and of persons whom the world accounts important, sounding like the voices of children at play in the muddy street outside; and, indeed, that is all that they are, compared to her—children making mud-pies or playing at shop outside the financier’s office.”
