So I made friends in-person with an affirming bisexual Christian my age with similar beliefs as me & I'm so happy about it

A frustrating bit about the idea that Yurie is called the last scholar because of her having been one of the OG Byrgenwerth squad is her visible age.. Willem was already a sluggish ancient self even in Laurence's flashback and is still alive, for all we know the time in Byrgenwerth really has stopped as 95% of it is drifting between reality and Nightmare, but.. why at the expense of some wrinkles :pensive:
Would just be pretty great if she looked like a 50+ years old! (around 20 as Byrgenwerth scholar and at least 30 years since then because if Hunter's Dream has about 360 gravestones, it means 360 full moons ie at least 30 years of it existing) But, I guess it IS just a version?

whenever i watch midnight mass i am always struck by the contrast between bev and annie in their last moments
annie who meets the sun with faith and leads what’s left of her congregation in song, even knowing what they’ve done and that she is about to die because of it
and bev, who finds no fellowship and no forgiveness because she has never actually wanted to cultivate the first and she doesn’t think she’s done anything in her entire life that she might need forgiveness for, not even from god

Anyone have wisdom on choosing a flatmate? After months of no options I now have two, vibes are fine for both but differently? One I know a bit from church, we've never particularly clicked and I don't think we will ever be best buds but we could for sure live together amicably; the other I only met today, vibes are quiet but promising, I feel less certainty about what it would look life but if it was good could be very good (I think)
Both I would very happily have said yes to if they had not been in touch with me within 2 days of each other!

Whats your opinion if the earthlings getting benched in super? RIP my boy tien
Thank you!
It's an inevitability of the way the story's written, unfortunately, but I'd argue that most of them have more to do in Super than they do in most of Z. Anime version of ToP at least let Krillin and Tien do SOMETHING instead of punking them immediately, which I will never forgive the manga for. Roshi and the android twins have shining moments in ToP in both versions. EVERYONE contributes at least something during Moro. The only notable exceptions I think are Bulma, who as mentioned before has never stopped being relevant, Videl, who regrettably does nothing during Super, and Krillin, who was pivotal in Saiyan saga and did important things during Namek and Cell, which is more than anything he does in Super (so far. He's a little more present in this latest manga arc, but the focus is more on Goten and Trunks, and I assume it's going to shift over to Gohan and Piccolo and Pan as we retell Super Hero).
In contrast, most of the Earthlings die during Saiyan saga, spend all of Namek doing fuck all on King Kai's planet, get curbstomped by the androids, after which they do nothing but spectate Cell or take Ls from the Cell Jrs.* They're essentially not even a factor during Buu. Such is Dragon Ball, playing its favorites.
*Except Tien, shoutout to Tien deciding FUCK Semiperfect Cell, even if his efforts were for naught in the end.

I love how I’m always all “the different forms of Christianity aren’t that important honestly. Peace and love no matter what specific version you feel closest to we all have the same holy book” but then I meet catholics in real life and it’s always a) Tom Cruise style permanently happy youth group girlies with 5 siblings who cheerfully tell me that gay people are gross or b) tender demure sweet girlies with braids wearing pastels who shyly tell me gay people are gross
