Isaiah 26:9A
At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently;
Psalm 119:81
My soul languishes for Your salvation;
I wait for Your word.
Psalm 42:2
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God;
When shall I come and appear before God?
Psalm 63:1
A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly;
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You,
In a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 143:6
I stretch out my hands to You;
My soul longs for You, as a parched land. Selah.
With a yearning desire, I wait quietly, longing to see you, to hear Your voice. I wrestle with myself, halting fleeting thoughts, anxious thoughts that compete for Your time. Determined to press through, I begin again, and again, yet again. This time a little closer, a little longer in Your presence, More Lord, more! I am hungry, thirsty, in need, in want, yearning, waiting, quietly with You, for You. And then... This time spent longing, and yearning concludes with an encounter. An encounter that leaves me longing and yearning for even more of You. In Your presence, No words can express the things You speak to me, and try as I may, try as I might...I wait, silently, speechless longing yearning for our next encounter.
Yes THIS but since Rauru has the exact same energy as my literal dad he would consistently replace Link’s name with another random four-letter word that starts with L and be completely serious about it every time, LIKE SO:
Just discoverd this outfit from the game and looked too fun not to draw ( probably not game accurate) Seriously the art in totk is insane and so inspiring.
[ID: a sketchy animation of a Seawing from Wings of Fire running. Its wings are semi folded up but upright as it runs, moving with its body. The art is done with messy blue lines on a light purple background and the 6 frames are numbered. End ID]
i know everyone likes to put tharja in the "yandere goth girl" category but tbh i feel like pigeonholing her into one specific archetype does a huge disservice to her character. is she obsessed with curses and robin? yes. is she constantly shoved into a fanservice role by intsys? absolutely.
but i think a lot of people forget just how impactful a lot of her supports are...there's something about tharja that makes nearly everyone who interacts with her divulge their deepest secrets and points of anxiety with her. we see this with libra, who tells her of the abandonment he endured at the hands of his parents. we see it with nowi, whose cheerful demeanor slips off as she tells tharja of her missing parents. and although tharja is not the only one lon'qu confides in regarding ke'ri, their support is notably the only one in which lon'qu divulges that there was romantic involvement between he and his childhood friend.
and despite her antisocial exterior, she always listens mindfully and offers to help! she even goes out of her way to discreetly help the shepherds (getting virion to do odd jobs that benefit civilians, interrogating henry to make sure he bears no ill will towards ylisse, etc).
a big thing about tharja is that she IS kind. she IS considerate. she just also has a reputation to uphold as a dark mage and that (paired with her overall awkwardness ofc) makes her true nature hard to see at first glance
