Read n' Sip Recommendations: Part 4

Hello, again, darlings. Welcome back to Read n’ Sip Recommendations with Kirsten. This week, I’ve returned with Part 4 of my Cocktail/Book Pairings. While I joke that these are Cocktails to enjoy with your Cock Tales, my books aren’t as erotic as that implies. It was just too good of a pun to pass up. However, my books are on the spicy side. If that’s your thing, then please dive in, but…

Unwanted emotions ✧

Plot: You’re Sukuna’s new concubine.

A/N: heian era / true form sukuna

In Sukuna's lavish palace chambers, the air was thick with exotic incense and the musky scent of sex.

He lounged on plush silk cushions, his muscular arms draped lazily over the scantily-dressed women squirming against his powerful frame.

One concubine trailed kishy kisses along his chiseled abs, her tongue teasing the strange tendril mouths above his navel.

But Sukuna's gaze drifted in bored disinterest. These women, for all their excessive praise and fake desire, failed to truly ignite that deep, burning hunger he ached for down in his very soul.

Their affections were empty and rehearsed - too afraid to look past the monster and see the conflicted man craving something more than just physical pleasure.

Perhaps that's why his strange red eyes kept wandering over to you, the newest and plainest concubine tucked in the corner.

An unadorned beauty with an innocent charm that somehow snagged his restless focus like nothing else.

The other women put on exaggerated shows of flattery and lust while you seemed sweetly oblivious, simply existing in your natural, unashamed state.

A pure, unpolished gem shining amongst these hollow pretty things.

There was a graceful vulnerability about your naive wonder at everything around you that wormed its way under Sukuna's skin.

Yet the idea that something as delicate and wholesome as your radiant presence could somehow reach the twisted, blackened depths of his cursed spirit felt like blasphemy too vile to entertain.

He was an incarnation of violence and destruction. A bringer of bloody havoc spawned from humanity's darkest fears and malice to reign over their inevitable extinction.

He was meant to corrupt and decimate mere flickering human sparks underfoot...Not wilt under the glow of something so untainted and sacred.

And still, your serene, unguarded gaze would rise innocently to meet his searing crimson stare.

Brimming with curiosity and something that almost looked like shy tenderness stirring in your big, soulful eyes despite the monster boring into you with hungry intensity.

That was when Sukuna felt his carefully constructed walls shake with a tempestuous tide of self-loathing and shameful longing. A maelstrom of ruinous desire echoing tauntingly on repeat:

How does something so frail and hopelessly fragile dare to have a living curse like me think impure thoughts about defiling her light? I who am the embodiment of every vile evil spawned to subjugate what pathetic existence dares to carry on...

Yet this pitiful human woman insists on smiling those soft, clueless little smiles at a monster - far too unholy to feel anything more than wicked temptation to defile her right here in this den of sin...

A rasping snarl ripped from the darkest, most twisted depths of Sukuna's ruined soul.

One clawed, monstrous hand flexed with the urge to reach out and crush the sickening lure of your radiance tempting that last shard of buried humanity entombed in nightmarish lightlessness--

Until that solitary, smoldering ember of depravity flared blinding and all-consuming in the wake of his ravenous yearning.

In the sinister world of the Hellsing Organization, where supernatural forces waged war against humanity, the infamous vampire Alucard reigned as a malevolent and unpredictable force. His dark and blood-soaked reputation was notorious throughout the organization, but amidst the chaos and malevolence, an unexpected and rather audacious incident occurred that would forever alter the dynamic between Alucard and a certain curious agent, Y/N.

Y/N was a skilled and audacious agent within the Hellsing Organization, renowned for their courage and resourcefulness. One day, as they were navigating the dimly lit corridors of the Hellsing headquarters, they stumbled upon an unusual discovery—a long, blood-red coat and a pair of distinctive round sunglasses that belonged to none other than Alucard himself.

Curiosity got the better of Y/N, and they couldn't resist the temptation to try on the coat and the sunglasses. As they slipped into the crimson coat, its weight and presence were overwhelming. It was a stark reminder of the power that Alucard exuded, and yet, it filled Y/N with an unusual sense of exhilaration. The round sunglasses, with their eerie red lenses, added an air of mystique to the entire ensemble.

Feeling the rush of power that the coat and glasses seemed to embody, Y/N decided to indulge their curiosity further. They began to wander the Hellsing headquarters, wearing Alucard's coat and sunglasses, their confidence growing with each step.

As they walked the dimly lit corridors, the other agents couldn't help but stare in awe and disbelief. Y/N, who had always been audacious and fearless, now embodied an aura of malevolence and power that was unmistakable. Their audacious act, although reckless, had the entire organization abuzz with amazement and incredulity.

Meanwhile, Alucard, who was lounging in his chambers, sensed a disturbance. His acute senses detected the unmistakable presence of his coat and sunglasses being worn, and a wicked grin spread across his face. He could sense Y/N's audacious actions, and it intrigued him.

With silent and predatory grace, Alucard made his way to where Y/N was parading around in his attire. He observed them from the shadows, his eyes gleaming with amusement and a touch of malevolence.

Y/N, who was completely unaware of Alucard's presence, continued to wear the coat and sunglasses, feeling a rush of power and audacity that was as intoxicating as it was reckless.

It was at that moment that Alucard decided to make his presence known. His voice, dark and sultry, cut through the air like a blade. "Enjoying my attire, my dear agent?"

Y/N spun around, their eyes widening in shock as they came face to face with the legendary vampire. The coat and sunglasses, now a symbol of audacity and recklessness, felt like a heavy burden under Alucard's gaze.

"Alucard!" Y/N stammered, their cheeks turning a deep shade of crimson. "I...I was just trying them on. I didn't mean to..."

Alucard's wicked grin grew wider as he circled Y/N, his predatory presence drawing them in. "Oh, my dear, I must say, you wear them quite well. It's almost as if you've become a reflection of my malevolence."

Y/N's heart raced as Alucard closed the distance between them, his crimson eyes locked with theirs. The coat and sunglasses felt like a testament to their recklessness, a symbol of the power and audacity they had temporarily embraced.

Alucard's hand reached out to trace the collar of the crimson coat, his touch sending shivers down Y/N's spine. "You know, my dear, playing with fire can be quite dangerous. Are you ready to face the consequences?"

Y/N, who had always been audacious and fearless, felt a rush of exhilaration and uncertainty. Alucard's presence was as intoxicating as it was malevolent, and they couldn't help but be drawn to him.

Their lips met in a passionate and reckless kiss, a collision of power and audacity that defied the boundaries of the world they inhabited. The crimson coat and sunglasses had become a symbol of their audacious connection, a connection that was as intense as it was reckless.

Liturgical Elements: The Embolism

In the liturgical rubrics of the Mass, the "embolism" refers to a short prayer spoken out loud by the priest after the congregation has collectively recited the Lord's Prayer. According to Nicholas Ayo (The Lord's Prayer: A Survey Theological and Literary, page 196), "the embolism functions like a marginal gloss, an explanation of the last line of the Pater, and an unfolding of its many implications." In reformed liturgy of the Roman Church, the English translation of the embolism is as follows:

Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil; graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of Your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

In the Tridentine form of the Roman Mass, a longer embolism was recited:

Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils past, present, and to come; and by the intercession of the Blessed and glorious ever-Virgin Mary, Mother of God, together with Thy blessed Apostles Peter and Paul and Andrew, and all the saints, mercifully grant peace in our days, that sustained by help of Thy mercy we may be always free from sin and safe from all disturbance. Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, who lives and reigns with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

The Ambrosian Rite, being another Latin rite, has an embolism that is unsurprisingly similar to the Tridentine one:

Deliver us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, from all evils past, present, and to come; and at the intercession for us of Blessed Mary who brought forth our God and Lord, Jesus Christ; and of Thy holy Apostles Peter and Paul and Andrew, and of blessed Ambrose Thy confessor and bishop, together with all Thy saints, favorably give peace in our days, that assisted by the help of Thy mercy we may be both delivered from sin and safe from all turmoil. Fulfill this by Him with whom Thou livest blessed and reignest God, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever.

The embolism was not only an element of Roman liturgies, either. Take, for example, this embolism used by the Syro-Malankara Catholic Church (notice how the doxology that follows the modern Roman embolism is instead integrated into this one):

Merciful Lord, lover of all mankind, do not let us be overcome by temptation, but deliver us from the rebellious evil one and his perverse and evil ways. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory belong to You and Your Only Son and Your Holy Spirit, now and always and forever.

Here is the embolism of the Syro-Malabar Church, reflecting the Eastern Syriac rather than Western Syriac tradition:

Lord, God Almighty! Fullness of all goodness! Our Merciful Father! We entreat You for Your mercy. Do not lead us into temptation. Deliver us from the evil one and his hosts. For Yours is the kingdom, the might, the power, and the dominion in heaven and earth, now, always, and forever.

In the Greek liturgies, the embolism only survives in the Liturgy of Saint James, which has the following:

Lord, lead us not into temptation, O Lord of hosts! For Thou dost know our frailty; but deliver us from the wicked one, from all his works, from all his assaults and craftiness; through Thy Holy Name, which we call upon to guard us in our loneliness.

On a final note, Fr. Frederick Holweck, the author of the Catholic Encyclopedia's article on the embolism, thought that the Mozarabic embolism in particular was "very beautiful." In addition to being said after the Our Father at Mass, the following prayer was also said after the Our Father in the Mozarabic Church's Morning and Evening prayers:

Delivered from all evil, strengthened forever in good, may we be worthy to serve Thee, our God and Lord: and put an end, O Lord, to our sins; grant joy to them that are afflicted; bestow redemption upon the captives, health upon the sick, and repose to the departed. Grant peace and safety in all our days, shatter the audacity of our enemies, and hearken, O God, to all the prayers of Thy servants, all faithful Christians, upon this day and at all times. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, ever through all the ages of ages.

ATG 5 - Day? Night.

In which a little invention it tested on a willing subject...

Pairing: Astarion/Tav SPICE Rating: 4/5 (sex, toys, mild kink) Content Warnings: Slight power play, blood, biting, 

Spoilers Set in the middle of Act 2 again, but not a lot of plot, just the setting of Last Light Inn Canon Compliance Canons Got Fired - Look it's fun to diverge. A little. Vaguely remembering the hidden rooms under the Inn for some setting, and trying to keep close to how I see the relationship developing more between the dynamics of these 2 and how their life views may come in to conflict. Other Notes Darlings we are here for the fun headcanon and toying with ideas of how different aspects of the world and lore could be utilised. Got ideas for additions? Drop them in the comments. Song/Mood Poison Apple by Echo Black "Another midnight, I saw your face, The hunger hit me and I had to have a taste. No need to fight it, temptation reigns, Your touch is wicked and it's burning through my veins. Never refuse forbidden fruit My strength is waning and my demons running loose I should've felt it, before the fall, I saw the apple took a bite and lost it all." ----- FULL CHAPTER BELOW THE CUT -----

It seemed like their time in the cursed Shadowlands might never end. Searching through ruined towns for clues to the past, fighting their way through the souls that had fallen before them, seeking light to chase the shadows. At least they now had the blessing to protect them, and somewhere to sleep safely in the Last Light Inn surrounded by Harpers and the Tiefling refugees from the Druid grove had also arrived safely. Tav had been relieved to see Dammon was with them, alive, well, and willing to trade once more. His help for Karlach was invaluable, too. She glanced over at the barbarian, sleeping like a small child now cuddling up to a large stuffed toy that Gale had enchanted to be safe from her heat. She looked peaceful, for a change. Unfortunately, Tav was far from peaceful herself. She felt completely restless. The Sword Coast was apparently full of painfully attractive people, and sharing a communal room did not allow for privacy to scratch certain itches. It did not help at all that Astarion flirted as easily as breathing, and she had yet to build up an immunity to his undeniable charms. Truth be told, a few of the others had flirted too, but she wasn’t too certain that everyone felt the same way that she did about lust and love. There was only so far she was willing to go with flirting back, some lines once crossed would end with someone getting hurt, and she was not going to let that happen. Luckily for her, the night was about to get a little more interesting, as she wasn’t the only one still awake. “Not even trying to meditate through the night? Darling, it is bad for your health to go without resting. Look at those bruises, they’re not going to get any better if you just toss and turn all night are they?” Astarion kept his voice low, but the wink was a very clear hint. He held out a hand, an invitation to leave the confines of the room.

“You’re up to something.” Tav stated plainly, but still took his hand and stood up, following him out of the room. “Are you disappointed? We can get by on less rest than the others by meditating, but that doesn’t mean I can just leave you there unable to do even that.” His words held concern, but his voice still carried that flirtatious edge to it. “Well, what are you suggesting?” Tav raised an eyebrow, scouring his face for any hint of what he might be up to.

“You’ll see~” He winked again, and kept leading her down the stairs. --- A few minutes later, they were in a secret room beneath the Inn. A hidden door had brought them to a place that looked like a storage area. It was dusty, smelled a little like mildew and…did cobwebs have an odour? They might as well, but it didn’t matter much. It was a small place, alone once the lever had swung the door closed behind them. “You better not have trapped us in here, I haven’t brought any lockpicks down here.” Tav laughed a little, but not without a hint of real concern. It would be terribly embarrassing to end their days locked below the Inn where nobody could find them. “Darling you worry too much, I checked it all myself earlier while you were busy with dinner.” He made a few motions and spoke a few words, prestidigitation replacing the scents clinging in the air with…

“Roses? You made it smell like roses? Is this dusty old storeroom meant to be romantic?” “If it doesn’t suit we can always leave, you know.” He almost sounded offended.

“I didn’t say that. Wait, why do you have a bag with you? And where else did you go during dinner?” She had wondered where he slipped off to, as he didn’t really partake of much food or drink with the party. After all, when he was hungry, she could happily offer herself to slake his thirst. The arrangement was not entirely just for his benefit, either.

“Wouldn’t you like to know~” He smirked playfully, putting his bag down to one side and dusting off some old sacks and cloths from a shelf. “Of course I want to know, that’s why I asked.” She regretted her impatience, but couldn’t resist the temptation to answer with as sharp a wit as she received. “Well, love, I know it’s no luxury bed with silk sheets - which is what I would far prefer to compliment a form as beautiful as yours - but the sight of you will certainly brighten up the place.” His eyes travelled the length of her curves, a slight hunger betrayed by his tongue absent-mindedly moistening his lips, the hint of fangs glinting dangerously. Irresistible, Tav thought, even in a dank rotten storeroom… She removed her outer clothes, taking her time for his benefit as he sat down to enjoy the show. All a part of the game, really, test his patience as well as her own, knowing full well that their blood ran hot when they were alone. “Hungry, are you?”

“You could say that…” His voice trailed off for a moment, eyes lingering on her neck as she tied her hair up again. He took off his shirt and reclined slightly, his back against the wall. “Come, sit right here.” Tav followed his instruction with rising tension, sitting between his parted knees, her back leaning against his now bare chest. “What about your bag? Come on you can’t leave it a mystery all night.” “Well well aren’t we impatient… No, not yet, it’s a surprise. For now,” he began to run his hands up her sides, travelling from her hips to her waist, caressing her chest, and coming to rest in a firm grip on her shoulders securing her against him as his lips came so tantalisingly close to her ear. “May I have a little appetiser, first?” A shiver ran down Tav’s spine and through her whole body, which answered for her. Without even thinking about it she rolled her head back onto his shoulder, exposing her bare neck to him, her breath held in anticipation. She didn’t have to wait long, it had been days since he last fed. Astarion kept one arm around her chest, the other hand rising to her forehead to hold her firmly in place as his fangs penetrated her waiting neck. She gasped, the decadent blend of pain and intimacy coursing through her veins like lightning. Her body felt like a coiled spring, tensed, every muscle screaming danger in a discordant symphony with delight. His tongue caressed softly, lips pressing gentle kisses, even as his fangs stung and drew fresh blood. His moan vibrated against her throat, but her own voice was muffled as his hand moved down to her mouth. The heat of lust rose within her alongside the heated torment of the pleasured pain as he fed, careful, ever careful not to take more than she could handle, but still leaving her breathless with desire for more. Tav almost didn’t notice when he loosened his grip, her mind was almost blank from the experience. She wasn’t sure if she’d ever get used to the intensity when he fed like this, and she also wasn’t sure if she ever wanted to. Before she could even begin to regain her bearings, though, a soft cloth covered her eyes, tied securely at the back of her head. “Are you comfortable, love?” His voice at her ear made her head spin again, she just about managed to nod an affirmation. “Perfect. Stay still, now.” She tried very hard to resist the temptation to try and see what might be coming out of the pack next to them, but she kept that trust. His chest, warm and firm against her back, held a comforting strength. His legs, either side of her hips, pressed against her sides like a lover’s embrace, even without his arms. Just when it began to feel empty in the breathless anticipation, she felt a cool sensation pass over her skin. There was no touch, but like a breeze came from nowhere. Next came heat, moving across different areas still left exposed. Then…a stinging, but not unpleasant. A hint of electric pain lighting up her nerves, sparks carefully measured and controlled, pinpointing the most exquisite sensation. Tav’s breath now came in ragged gasps, each new shock just a little more intense, but soothed with the heat and cool before she could feel pain. If she’d had the ability to form any sound other than a wanton moan, she might’ve asked what all this was, but even this was silenced the moment she felt something pressed between her legs.

---

Behind his lover, Astarion grinned. The symphony he was playing on her body was making such a sweet melody, and he was drinking every second like wine. The little effects of a cantrip were easy to manipulate, and Gale had been very helpful in showing him ways that it could be controlled. He briefly wondered exactly what it might be like to lay with the God of Magic herself, but Gale wasn’t quite the type to kiss and tell. Or at least, not to tell every detail. His smile widened as Tav moaned again, the small object in his hand pressing right where she wanted it most…but there was more to this little metal device. He almost laughed as he remembered how red Dammon’s cheeks had become at the suggestion, but of course the craftsman was incredibly skilled and willing to try making something new. “Oh it’s just for relaxing tired muscles” Astarion had grinned when describing the device, though whether either of them believed that excuse didn’t matter. Now all he had to do was channel just a little electricity through it, and-

---

Tav heard the humming of the tool just as she felt the vibrations. She didn’t know what it was, but she had some idea of what might have been going on whilst she was busy and leaving Astarion unsupervised. Having her eyes covered made every sensation so much more intense, too, and it was becoming almost maddening. But just as she felt close to cascading over the edge, the device moved away. “N...no...you can’t-” She could hear the desperation in her voice but she didn’t care. 

“Not yet, Darling, I want you to feel everything. ” His words arrived in her ear as a low growl, the sound waves shaking her foundations. A distraction, as he shifted behind her. Strong hands took hold of her hips, lifting her smoothly, holding her where she could just feel what was coming next, pressing her hips down as he entered at last. His legs move a little beneath her, allowing a little leverage  to both of them, the kisses along her neck and shoulder giving her the silent permission. Tav’s body became utterly enveloped by sensation. The depth of her lover pressing inside, the feeling of the sparks from his fingertips caressing her body, and his lips tracing loving lines wherever they could reach. She kept her pace slow, too, as much as she longed to rush to the hedonistic release, she was enjoying drawing it out now as much as he did. Fangs cut tiny holes in her back, a quick tongue tasting her flesh and blood with a growing greed, and soon the little device was back with more delicious torment. Her muscles quivered with the intensity building to fever pitch, drowning in a sea of pleasure, the edges of pain only heightening the ecstasy. She might have even felt his pulse racing through her back, had the subtle vibration of his own moans echoing through his chest not silenced that particular drum. As the more intense vibrations began to drive her towards the climax she so desperately desired, Tav matched a more relentless pace with her hips. She was lost to it all, filled, surrounded, caught, controlled, and in that moment so utterly free. Her head rolled back, her neck soon feeling the passion of a myriad of kisses, bites, and the sign they were about to fall so deliciously into the pleasure together. Every nerve lit up, every muscle tensed and release, this time a full volume voice escaping their throats as a single noise echoing from the walls. Time almost slowed down as they felt the incredible rush of euphoria, drawing out the moment as long as they could before it passed, leaving them weakened and breathless in the dark. A small noise on the floor told her that the mystery device had now been abandoned, as Astarion’s arms surrounded Tav, holding her even closer against him while they regained their senses. “You are so beautiful like this,” he whispered, finally lifting the silk from her eyes and kissing her cheek, “see?” “What do you-” Then she saw it, the mirror on the other side of the room, the only clean thing around, with the cloth that had likely covered it when they came in discarded on the floor beside it. Mage Hand, she thought to herself, of course he would- “It felt like a shame if I couldn’t see you, all of you, enjoying this~” He pulled her into another kiss before she had a chance to argue. “Wasn’t it just exhilarating , love?” “I… You know it was… But…” Tav looked at the mirror. “You’re not even there, are you…” “I haven’t seen my reflection in centuries Darling, I don’t miss it,” a little lie, and one that did not get past her notice, “but I saw what I wanted. You. Your body moving with pleasure, your face flush with blood and heat, the way you gasp when you want more …” It was hard to argue, besides which, Tav finally felt tired, like it was time to rest at last. “We should-” “We should stay right here. It doesn’t matter, does it? I’ll wake you up by morning, and we’ll just slip in to the room like we were there all night and just went for a little fresh air .” He brought his legs around her now too, trapping her in a comfortably tight embrace. “You’re not in a rush to escape me, are you?”

Tav yawned, the exhaustion beginning to surrender to the warmth and safety of being in her favourite place. “I don’t suppose you’d care to argue, and those beds were never that comfortable anyway.” “Good girl,” he whispered, kissing the top of her head softly and bringing a blanket around them, “now get some rest. Plenty of running around and killing things to do tomorrow, after all.” She relaxed further, shuffling down a little so her head could come to rest against his chest, listening to the slow heartbeat as her own personal lullaby. It didn’t take long for her eyes to fall closed in the peace they shared before the next storm could draw in.

---

Astarion held her close, savouring the warm weight of her body coming to rest against him. He still didn’t understand how she could give herself so completely to him, how she could relax so easily in the arms of a killer…but he wanted nothing more. His hand idly caressed her soft hair and skin, pulling the blanket a little closer where it had slipped off her shoulder, the bruises still refusing to fade from the reality of their daylight hours. The night , he told himself, belongs to me…to us , he found himself correcting himself, much to his own surprise. What am I supposed to do about this… A dozen thoughts and feelings fought for dominance in his mind as he finally drifted into an uneasy rest himself, holding his heart in his arms.

----------- ----------- ENDING NOTES ----------- ----------- Honestly, that art with the mirror? You know the one, loves, ohh that was delicious~ I don't have much more to say with this chapter though, it's all just some nice spice to solidify how close they have become, the trust that has built, and the odd kind of "new normal" before that is broken back down again.

Jealous God. A consuming fire. The Destroyer. Epithets that were hushed between the zealous, fearful of blistering rebukes & the drawn sword which had slain Kings. As if all of Valdelobos had fell silent, to the feeble crow which nested above & below, every form of enlightened shunned themselves away, lest they as well become victims of his wrath. --- The rage which grasped the reigns violently took hold in the form of bodily tremors, his power exhausted to remain standing, rather than collapsing on all fours as if some feral beast. Lord Saddler's benevolence was shattered, his dual-facet nature boiling to the surface in the form of unbridled violence.

" 𝔜𝔬𝔲 𝔦𝔫𝔰𝔬𝔩𝔢𝔫𝔱 𝔩𝔦𝔱𝔱𝔩𝔢... " A hiss seethed, briefly strained. However, the condemnation was FAR from over, Osmund's throat trembling as if his chastise echoed thunder. There was the desire to crush him, to BREAK him, to snap the lone finger which mocked him, & it would be so easy ; The temptation building as his lips twitched in anticipation.

It was morbid the way in which the host shivered & kept itself from bursting at the seams ; Weapons of divine flesh seeking to take the form of lashes & beating this humans BLASPHEMOUS skin. Denying the grace that is The Holy Body, destroying a living remnant of God, punishment MUST take the form of blood. Blood, Blood, BLOOD --- 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔽𝕒𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 growled fiercely unholy, his exasperation reminiscent of Ganados which craved to turn him into mincemeat. If the lid to the pot wasn't permitted to release steam, the blistering outpour would be disastrous.

Rather, he succumbed to immense frustration, his charismatic façade successfully broken : " 𝔍𝔬́𝔡𝔢𝔱𝔢, 𝔢𝔯𝔢𝔰 𝔲𝔫 𝔤𝔦𝔩𝔦𝔭𝔬𝔩𝔩𝔞𝔰 --- " An imprecation to surpass any of his brethren who damned Leon as a pig, an imbecile, fool, a 'fucking' intruder, among a plethora of foul damnations, only rivaled by 'bastard cocksucker' taunted by his comrades.

[childofchrist1983]

Not all fleshly desires have to be blatantly wicked. An example of a desire of the flesh would be sleeping in instead of waking up for Church. You know that you need to go to Church, and that is the direction that the Holy Spirit is trying to lead you in, but your body is telling you otherwise. Your body is trying to convince you that it would be much better to sleep in and miss Church and its fellowship. No matter who we are and where we are, it is vital to put God first in our hearts and our lives. Always!

As Christians, we have two choices in life – Be led by the Holy Word and Spirit of God or be led by the desires of our sinful flesh. The desires of our flesh tend to be cravings and yearnings for things that will remove our focus from God. These desires never draw us closer to God, if anything they always serve as traps to draw us further away from Him and make us sin and feel guilty for it. From the day that we receive salvation, we become subject to the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Word of God and His Holy Spirit will always take us to places that will bring us closer to God – It will never be the opposite. It is through the Holy Word and Spirit, a person is able to grow in their prayer life and their God-given spiritual gifts, and grow closer in their relationship with God.

In our everyday lives, the Holy Spirit will guide us to act the way Jesus would act in a situation. For example, if you are driving in traffic and someone tries to cut in front of you, you are faced with two choices.

Your Fleshly Desire: Yell a number of profanities at the driver and make sure that they know you are angry.

Spirit-led Decision: Let the incident slide, pray for the driver, and allow peace to reign in your heart.

Choosing to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit won't always be easy, but it will definitely be more worthwhile. Walking in the Spirit daily means that we are walking in the way Jesus Christ would desire us to walk.

You may not realize it at the time, but your life serves as a testimony to others. When you choose to walk in Christ and through His Holy Word and Spirit, the world gets to see the love and wisdom of God through your words and actions. If you choose to follow the desires of your flesh – which are always contrary to the will of God – you will communicate the wrong message to the world and they will not feel compelled to receive salvation. Every step you take in your life matters. Allow the Holy Spirit to guide and strengthen, and transform you, so that you are able to make decisions that will minister to everyone around you and glorify God. That is what it means to live as a true Christian on this Earth.

Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for securing a place for all true Christian believers as followers of Christ and spiritually reborn children of God in His eternal Kingdom. Each day, the sun rises and its light and warmth, and the Holy Bible gives us a glimpse of the promised eternity to come. May we continue to walk in the love and light of Christ with our heads held high and our eyes on the finish line. May we lead others to His Gospel Truth and to His light as well throughout this journey with Him. Let us all humble ourselves before God daily, asking Him to forgive us and to strength and teach us to view life through the lens of God and His promises. May He guard our hearts against Satan and the temptations of this world and our flesh. May He give us the peace to find full satisfaction in God and His peace and promises, so that we may live our lives daily in ways that honor and pleases Him. As we seek Him daily, may He reveal Himself to us through the words He has provided and use it to conform the desires of our heart to Him and His love and compassion and grace.

As true and spiritually reborn Christians, we love, trust and believe in Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ. We choose to keep Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ first in our hearts and lives and all other worldly desires behind us. He extends salvation to everyone, and we want to show the world the freedom, hope and peace they can have in accepting and following Him. We must ask Him to help us grow spiritually in our relationship with Him and strengthen us and the bonds of love that He has given us, so that our unity may glorify and testify to His power and goodness. Thank Him for calling us to faith and imparting us with salvation and righteousness. May He empower us to live in His will and righteousness, so that we may testify to His soul-saving power as our faith carries us past all doubt, fear, and failure. May He grant us the grace to forgive others who have wronged us, and the humility to seek forgiveness where we have caused strife. May we follow and serve God daily with love, trust, awe and wonder. May Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ strengthen our faith, lift our spirits, protect our hearts, and show us opportunities to help bring others to Him and His Gospel Truth daily. May we do this duty boldly, humbly and faithfully. Seek, follow and trust in the LORD God Almighty always! To God be all the honor and praise and glory!

We must come to Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ with sincere hearts to ask forgiveness and follow Him and His Holy Word and Spirit always. We praise Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for the mercy He bestows upon us and we are grateful for His grace and mercy and infinite blessings. By surrendering our hearts and our lives to His will, we see all the blessings He has bestowed upon us. God our refuge and our salvation and our constant provider. We lift our voices to Him in praise for His steadfast love, mercy and understanding. May Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ open our minds and hearts more and more to perceive and embrace Him and His truths. May He help us to find time to pray and read and study the Holy Bible daily and to find power in prayer, praying according to His Holy Word and will. May He help us to come to Him in true repentance and with faith in Him and His grace and merciful nature. May He give us the grace, courage and strength we need to walk with Him and do His will daily. May He teach us to watch our words when we pray to Him and to speak reverently and rightly. May we continually ask God to transform our hearts and make us faithful and humble as we walk with Him daily. We must come to Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ with honest, humble and repentant hearts. We must seek Him and His will and choose to follow Him all the days of our lives. May He help transform our hearts, help us to seek and live for Him above all else and to grow spiritually and build our faith and relationship with Him with each passing day. May He forgive our sinful nature and help us always make Him and our relationship with Him top priority.

As true and born-again Christians, we choose to walk in His righteous path and lead a life that is pleasing to Him. We desire Him and His will above anything else. We desire to walk in accordance with the love and light He has shown to us through His Holy Word and Spirit. We long for a deeper relationship with Him and a deeper fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ as well. When we fall into temptation and sin, we must turn to Him for forgiveness, strength and guidance. When believers learn to walk in accordance with God's Holy Word and Spirit, they have deeper fellowship with both God and one another. And the sin that could threaten to destroy that fellowship, if confessed (1 John 1:9), is covered in the blood of Jesus Christ and no longer a barrier between us and God. May we ask Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ to forgive us for any sins we have sinned this day or in days past. May we be faithful to Him and His Holy Word always. May He help us to walk more consistently in the light and to not neglect long to confess and forsake any sins that hinder our walk with Him. May He lead us in the direction He wants us to go so that we may seek and serve Him faithfully. God is holy and almighty and deserving of all praise honor and glory. We rejoice in Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ, knowing He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:8). May our hearts always be filled with thanksgiving and rejoicing. May He help us to praise Him freely and honestly like all believers who came before us. May we live a life that showcases our love and trust in Him and His Holy Word and Spirit as He uses us draw others to Him and His soul-saving Gospel Truth daily. May He continue guide, correct and protect us, so that we continue to grow in Him and not weaken and stray. May we all remain faithful to Him and to this duty and purpose He has called us to. Seek and put your faith and trust in Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ and let Him do the rest. May He humble our hearts and help us focus on following and serving Him daily and helping others with joy and happiness. We lift our voices in praise to Him for His love, mercy, peace, faithfulness and grace - For EVERYTHING!

It is vital that we remain rooted in Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ through prayer and His Holy Word and Spirit and that we live and walk as a beacon of His light and love and share and spread the Gospel Truth daily, so that the lost souls in this world can come to know Him and be saved. The more we focus on Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ, growing spiritually by building our relationship with Him, leaning on Him and His Holy Word and Spirit, the better off we will be. Thanks to this and our faith in Him, we know that everything will be alright. And we will forever be grateful to Him. As true and born-again Christians, we believe in Him and His Holy Word and we strive daily to walk in His Holy Spirit. We know though our mortal bodies should die, He will raise us up and into new and glorious bodies (The Rapture). We who are truly His and alive at His second coming will never die, and our bodies will be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, and so shall we ever be with Him in His Kingdom of Heaven forevermore (1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17). This is one of many promises given to us by God Himself. Thank God for His strength and guidance when we are faced with sin and temptation. Thank Him for His mercy and grace. Through Bible study and prayer, God reveals His wisdom and guides us to see opportunities to grow closer to Him and grow spiritually. He gives us direction to live our lives daily according to His will.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven (John 3:5, 14:6), the ONLY way to salvation (Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:8-9) and He is the resurrection and the life (John 11:25-26). Jesus Christ the LORD of lords, the KING of kings, the GOD of gods (Deuteronomy 10:17, 1 Timothy 6:15, Revelation 17:14, Revelation 19:16) - He is the Living, Almighty and Everlasting God (Isaiah 9:6, Revelation 1:8, John 3:16, John 3:36, Jeremiah 10:10). There is no other God besides Him (Isaiah 45:5). We MUST humble ourselves before Him, turning our backs on false teachers, false gods and idols and our sinful ways. We MUST repent and turn back to God and recognize who He is and love Him in return for His great love for us. We MUST make God top priority everyday! May we be motivated to spread God's Holy Word and Gospel Truth to all the Earth, knowing that it is the only hope of all those lost in their sins. Let us not hold out a false hope for men to be saved without the Gospel, but instead, strive to do our part to get the Gospel out to a lost and dying world.

Leaning on Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ through prayer and His Holy Word and Spirit strengthens us and our knowledge and wisdom about God and His Gospel Truth, exposing these imposters. May God help us to seek and lean on Him daily to gain the strength, wisdom and spiritual discernment needed to expose Satan and his imposters who seek to destroy us and God's ultimate Truth. Everyday, we must remember to share Jesus Christ's Gospel Truth with the world and to thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for the grace that He poured out for us on the cross at Calvary. He has freed us from the burdens of sin and from the eternal damnation of Hell. In all we say and do, may all praise, honor and glory always be given to Him and His Kingdom of Heaven.

With renewed minds, hearts and wills, let us serve Him humbly and faithfully out of pure love and grateful rejoicing. May He remind us of His presence and to remain at peace, fully knowing that all will be well because He is always with us. Let us seek Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ today and everyday with all our heart and being, looking for His love, light and will for our lives with each step we take. Let us seek to please Him with our thoughts, words, and deeds and seek to advance His Kingdom of Heaven and His glory with our lives. Let us seek Him from a pure and humble heart, and when we so seek, we believe Him and His promise that we will find. May He help us all to be more sensitive to the teaching ministry of His Holy Word and Spirit, relying on Him and allowing Him to speak to us and guide us every step of our Christian journey.

God gave us the Holy Bible - His living and Holy Word - to let us know of Him and His abiding love and care as well as guide and prepare us for all our lives. May He help us encourage one another as we continue our walk with Him and our duty to Him daily. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for being present for all our new beginnings and all our lives. May He redirect any anxiety we feel as He provides countless opportunities for growth and change. May we humble ourselves before God always, asking Him to forgive our sins and make our hearts and lives anew through His Holy Word and Spirit. May He help us make Him and His Holy Word top priority, so we can grow spiritually and grow in our relationship with Him as we apply it to our daily lives. Thank God that we can focus on Him and everything about Him, for that is what keeps us sane and at peace. May our words and actions always be a reflection of Him and His Holy Word and Spirit and will.

May He help us to always walk in His grace and Holy Spirit, not by our own measure. May He give us the humble humility to know that our freedom and eternal salvation is found only in Him, so that His grace may sustain us, and we may never lose sight of His love and light and mercy. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for calling us to Him and to serve Him. May He equip us to do all that He has called us to do so that as He works through us, He may use us to produce fruit, to reach others, and to encourage all brothers and sisters in Christ. May He work all of these things in us and through us for His Kingdom and His glory. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all His creation, for His miraculous ways and for everything He does and has done for us! Keep the faith and keep moving forward in your walk with Jesus! He loves us and He knows what is best for us. Seek, follow and trust in Him - Always!

Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Word and for sending His Holy Spirit so that we might have His grace, not only to awaken us and transform our hearts in our spiritual rebirth and guarantee our eternity with Him, but to also call upon Him whenever we are in need. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for all the reminders of His love and mercy and faithfulness within His Holy Word. He is bigger than any challenge or circumstance in our lives. Knowing this within our minds and our hearts, nothing can deter our faith in Him and His Truth. May we all accept Him and His eternal gift of salvation and ask that He would transform our hearts and lives according to His will and ways. Thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His Holy Spirit who saves, seals and leads us. May we always thank Father God Almighty and the LORD Jesus Christ for His almighty power and saving grace. For He is our strength, and He alone is able to save us, forgive our sins and gift us eternal salvation and entry into His Kingdom of Heaven.

May we make sure that we give our hearts and lives to God and take time to seek and praise Him and share His Truth with the world daily. May the LORD our God and Father in Heaven help us to stay diligent and obedient and help us to guard our hearts in Him and His Holy Word daily. May He help us to remain faithful and full of excitement to do our duty to Him and for His glorious return and our reunion in Heaven as well as all that awaits us there. May we never forget to thank the LORD our God and our Creator and Father in Heaven for all this and everything He does and has done for us! May we never forget who He is, nor forget who we are in Christ and that God is always with us! What a mighty God we serve! What a Savior this is! What a wonderful LORD, God, Savior and King we have in Jesus Christ! What a loving Father we have found in Almighty God! What a wonderful God we serve! His will be done!

Thanks and glory be to God! Blessed be the name of the LORD! Hallelujah and Amen!

"Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:" Numbers 32:11, KJV "Nevertheless the LORD raised up judges, which delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them. And yet they would not hearken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not so. And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way." Judges 2:16-19, KJV "And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them." 1 Samuel 8:7, KJV "Neither will I make the feet of Israel move any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; only if they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that my servant Moses commanded them. But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel." 2 Kings 21:8-9, KJV "Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and mercy, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the time of the kings of Assyria unto this day. Howbeit thou art just in all that is brought upon us; for thou hast done right, but we have done wickedly: Neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy commandments and thy testimonies, wherewith thou didst testify against them. For they have not served thee in their kingdom, and in thy great goodness that thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land which thou gavest before them, neither turned they from their wicked works." Nehemiah 9:32-35, KJV "Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest." Psalm 95:8-11, KJV "They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand." Isaiah 44:18, KJV "For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge." Jeremiah 4:22, KJV "O LORD, are not thine eyes upon the truth? thou hast stricken them, but they have not grieved; thou hast consumed them, but they have refused to receive correction: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they have refused to return." Jeremiah 5:3, KJV "Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it." Jeremiah 6:19, KJV "But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the LORD their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth." Jeremiah 7:23-28, KJV "But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction." Jeremiah 17:23, KJV "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil. And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them: Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD." Jeremiah 29:17-19, KJV "And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them . . . And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction." Jeremiah 32:23, 33, KJV "Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered." Jeremiah 35:17, KJV "And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not." Jeremiah 36:31, KJV "Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Ye have seen all the evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah; and, behold, this day they are a desolation, and no man dwelleth therein, Because of their wickedness which they have committed to provoke me to anger, in that they went to burn incense, and to serve other gods, whom they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. Howbeit I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, rising early and sending them, saying, Oh, do not this abominable thing that I hate. But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their wickedness, to burn no incense unto other gods." Jeremiah 44:2-5, KJV "Thus saith the Lord GOD; This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about her. And she hath changed my judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and my statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused my judgments and my statutes, they have not walked in them. Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye multiplied more than the nations that are round about you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you; Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations. And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all thine abominations." Ezekiel 5:5-9, KJV "They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD." Hosea 5:4, KJV "Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, and they rebel against me. Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet do they imagine mischief against me. They return, but not to the most High: they are like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt." Hosea 7:13-16, KJV "Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD." Zechariah 1:3-4, KJV "But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear. Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts." Zechariah 7:11-12, KJV "These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me." John 16:1-3, KJV "But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?" Romans 10:16, KJV "When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin." Hebrews 3:9-13, KJV "And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination."

"Daughters of the Lattice"

"Daughters of the Lattice" by Stephen Case in Asimov's Science Fiction, July/August 2023

i want to add more short fiction to my reading life this year, so when i heard "Daughters of the Lattice" recommended on a podcast (i think it was the 1/15/24 ep of Hugo, Girl!) and described as nuns on a cathedral ship in space, i felt a burning need to track it down. happily @digger1649 had a copy of this issue of Asimov's i could borrow, and i have since ordered a copy for myself.

(i've also given into temptation and started digital subscriptions to a few of the big speculative short fiction magazines...the completionist in me decided January would be the ideal time to start. so expect some more short story recs from me!)

anyway, "Daughters of the Lattice" is VERY GOOD. i'm always in awe of short fiction that builds a whole world so tightly and pragmatically. this one is listed as a novelette, so Case has a little more wiggle room to work, but even so. this story has some of the most attractive catnips to me: evocative space religion, a narrator addressing a specific recipient of the story, expectation-shifting revelations, a seemingly all-female society, and a really tantalizing view of the perils of space frontier colonialism. it's like the place where my Locked Tomb obsession and my Imperial Radch obsession collide, plus a little bit of Scavengers Reign.

saying much more would give things away, but the tl;dr is that i fucking loved this story and i can't wait to reread it!

the deets

how i read it: as i said above, a borrowed physical copy. i honestly love holding a book in my hands, and that extends to magazines like this one, but my eyes aren't getting any younger and it was a little tough to read T^T

try this if you: dig a piece-by-piece reveal, are a sucker for a hero story, or think a cathedral spaceship with cloaking technology based on vines sounds wicked cool

some bits i really liked: i want to just copy the whole story in here ok

And so it was I saw the Decalogue again from space. I had not thought to see it again, not after the Long Retreat failed, our long crawl to this world ended, and I brought it to park in orbit around this planet of ice like a body laid to rest in a grave. Now here it was again, resolving itself to view, acres and acres of stained glass and stone and, between the spires and buttresses that rose in each direction, the silver-green rust of the biomechanical hull-gardens. The cloaking vines had not yet begun spreading across its surface and so, for perhaps the last time, I saw it as a faceted jewel against the darkness.

---

I will not write of our leave-taking. You will remember it and in time perhaps forgive me. I will only say that when the mother confessors give you the oath of sisterhood (should you choose to take it) and tell you that the Calm you are now privileged to take will preserve you from both old age and the ravages of emotion, I learned as I watched you as my shuttle rose away that regarding the latter they lie.

[wrathbites]

new game + babey 5 and 15?

New Game + Give me a number 1-100, and I will either tell you what fic the corresponding Spotify Wrapped song inspired, or write you a ficlet/snippet inspired by that song.

5 is "Headlights" by Ashbury Heights. I'm a bit of a wuss with what it inspired so I don't have a fic or snippet to share, but I get "relationship on the rocks" vibes from it. And I can't do that to my precious babs (yet).

Now, 15! Is "Poison Apple", Echo Black and Danny Blu. I don't have a corresponding fic, buuuuuuuuuut...

Another midnight I saw your face The hunger hit me And I had to have a taste No need to fight it Temptation reigns Your touch is wicked And it's burning through my veins

"You're either very brave or very foolish to send your guards away this early, little mouse," his assassin rumbles, detaching from the shadows at last to stand behind him, so close he can feel the scalding heat from hip to shoulder.

There, on his neck, a puff of breath and the lightest skim of too sharp teeth. There, around his knee, the curl of a tail robbing him of escape, as deadly a weapon as the dagger yet to find home in his back.

A dozen reasons to run, to call his men back, to uncork one of the vials in his pocket and splash the contents over his assassin's face, stab at blood red eyes with his claw-tipped fingers. But fear gets him nowhere, and curiosity... well. There's always some fun in that.

"And have them spoil our game? Perish the thought."

"Mmm. So certain you'll survive the night?"

Gortash turns, and his assassin allows it, answer enough in the lack of space between them. His corpse would already be stiff and cold on the floor if his end fell on this night. He frames that scarred face in his hands, scales rough on his skin, and jabs his thumbs under the dragonborn's chin, forcing his head up.

"Careful, kitty cat," he murmurs, "I bite."

Human teeth are too blunt to cause lasting harm, but that's not what he's after. The hiss, the lash of that tail, the crash of magic up his arms, sparking along his veins and stealing the breath from his lungs - that's what he's after. The surge of a body against his forcing him back, another step, another, until he hits the table and tumbles backward over it - that's what he's after.

There's hunger burning in his assassin's stare, it's been there for weeks, and he'll have it.

FRESH MANNA

POWER-HUNGRY

2 Kings 11

There’s a proverbial saying that absolute power corrupts absolutely which conveys the opinion that, as a person's power increases, their moral sense diminishes. It is a known fact that unlimited power tends to corrupt the minds of those who possess it.

The most atrocious power-hungry bible character with no morals was Athaliah -the wicked queen, ironically, her name means “the Lord God is great”. She was the daughter of the dastardly King Ahab of Israel and Jezebel who married Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram with disastrous spiritual results. Being the daughter of two very wicked people meant she was not only born into but grew up in an atmosphere that completely denied God.

If we look up the word “wickedness in the high place,” we’ll probably find one name, Athaliah. Her hunger for power was so great that she went to extreme lengths to take and keep it. Athaliah is the representation that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

She had the kind of power so many in our society today would kill for.

How inhumane that a grandmother, like her, could be so callous and power-hungry to kill her grandchildren just so she can become queen.

She exploited the death of her son to have all the males of the royal stock killed, then assumed power. When her husband died, she murdered her grandchildren, but Jehoash was taken and hidden by his aunt, Jehosheba.

She took measures to place herself on the throne by removing all rivals and then proceeded to make the worship of Baal, Pheon and the cult of Sidonia Baal predominant in the land, she also used the dedicated things for the worship of God for her deities according to 2 Chronicles 24:7. She usurped the Davidic throne for 6 years because Judah had never had a ruler who was not a descendant of David as mentioned in 1 Kings 9:5 and the only woman in history on the throne, even though illegally.

Christians are called to be servants, willing to be last to lead according to Matthew 20:26. Everyone, including believers, wrestles with the desire to be powerful and influential, even through dishonest and perverse means.

Resisting the many temptations of power can be extremely challenging, and many have fallen prey to them. Power can turn a good man in private life into a tyrant in the office, viewing such power as all-in-all is too intoxicating that it is almost too difficult for individuals not to abuse it. Undoubtedly, those who attain power (whether legitimately or not) have repeatedly been depicted as woefully deficient in empathy, intimidating and instilling fear in others, and willing to initiate violence—or encourage others to undertake violence on their behalf.

Athaliah’s wicked and violent reign came to an end when she stumbled upon the secret coronation ceremony of Jehoash and the high priest asked that she be dragged outside the city gate and stoned to death, “there’s no rest for the wicked, heh”. God says in Psalm 5:4 that there’s no pleasure for those who are hungry for wicked power. Plato quotes “The measure of a man is what he does with power.” Believers have been given power in Acts 1:8 and 1 Corinthians 6:14 to be responsible people of power and not power-hungry people who abuse power. Don’t be power-hungry but God-hungry.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to guard my heart and mind against corrupting power and from abusing the power you’ve given me in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom

54. The Skanda Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of Male Emissions.

The Skanda Upanishad was written in 1 BCE, and numbers 54 of 108 Upanishads. The subject matter refers to Skanda, “cum” another name for  Kartik, the Son of Siva and God of War. 

Once upon a time, there was a king named Taraksura, the “Sun Devil” who performed a thousand austerities, and after reigning in peace and happiness, qualified for a boon. The God Siva went to him and offered, “O King tell me the nature of your boon.”

“I do not want to die. No matter what happens, even thou Lord Siva, thou shalt not kill me.” 

Siva said, “Your boon is granted. Rule in good faith.” 

Taraksura became a notorious pedophile. 

There was no crime he did not commit. The people went to the temple and asked Lord Siva to revoke the boon. Siva said the promises of God unlike those of men were sacrosanct and the boon could not be revoked. 

Still, the people insisted. 

Siva finally let a big gusher go into the River and His emissions set it on fire. 

In order to prevent Herself from burning, the River took the Fire into her and produced a child, a new male god, fully grown, who leapt from from the torrent to its banks. 

The god was called Skanda, “Sperm God” after the manner of His creation. 

Skanda is also called “Sanat Kumar” The Eternal Son, and Kartik, “Splitter of Mountains”, also Krishna, “The Scourge of the Wicked.”

At His Father’s behest, the god went to Tarak. They fought, and Tarak was injured. The king was outraged. He was promised by Siva nothing would hurt him. In quite a state, he prayed to Siva, who said, “I kept my promise. It is my son, the Law Enforcer who shall kill you, not I, the Law Giver, whom you did not obey.”

Taraksura and his only friend, a massive mango tree devil named Padmasura "perfectly rotten" that produced only rotten fruits fought with Kartik.

Both were killed and the people celebrated. 

From the corpses of the tree and the fallen king came Caru the rooster, who signifies the "call of duty" and the peacock, Sarvazighra, "the fastest, faster than thought".

Kartik is shown in many forms, some have multiple heads and arms, which signify the five senses, each of which is equipped with two hands and weapons. These are used to fend off temptation, lawlessness, delusion, corruption, all the impulses that draw human beings away from their prescribed duties.

There is a contest for the largest statue of him running, the winner so far is in India:

My favorite, located in Greenbelt, Maryland is much smaller. This format, called Murugan, is flanked by His sisters, Valli "the Mother of Battlefields" and Devasena, "the Mother of Armies."

For details on the interaction between Murugan et al, read the Bhagavad Gita, where, as Krishna, he fights a man who stole an election and restores order.

Now begins the Skanda Upanishad: 

1. Om. O Mahādeva (Lord of Devas), I am indestructible through a small portion of Thy grace. I am replete with Vijñāna. I am Śiva (Bliss). What is higher than It?

Why do politicians seek immortality and then achieve only ignominy? There is no greater happiness than behavior and its root causes that lead to a penance free life. We, like the Sun Devil want to live forever and be so happy, but we want the freedom to find it inappropriately and then we get caught. 

Virtue, not Grace allows us to be indestructible. There is nothing that can injure a man of virtue, indeed he is invulnerable at all times. It is the capacity for Truth that is the most powerful of the virtues. 

2.  Truth does not shine as such on account of the display of the antaḥkaraṇa (internal organs). Through the destruction of the antaḥkaraṇa, Hari abides as Samvit (Consciousness) alone.

Antakarana is the “inner hymnal”. Through the incorporation of the Scriptures, doesn’t matter where you start, the Gospels, Torah, the Quran or Book of Mormon, the seeker after Truth will find the means to silence the singer of sinful songs, and eventually abide in Samvit, “the unified avenue”:

3. As I also am of the form of Samvit, I am without birth. What is higher than It?

We don’t need God, gods, books, or ceremonies to achieve Samvit. The instincts required for Civil Society are inborn, and now they are all written down plain to see, so instincts be damned, we are required to live in a certain way, one rife with high quality of life. 

As for all else, we need to let it all fall away:

4. All inert things being other (than Ātmā) perish like dream. That Achyuta (the indestructible or Viṣṇu), who is the seer of the conscious and the inert, is of the form of Jñāna. 

He only is Mahādeva. He only is Mahā-Hari (Mahāviṣṇu). 

He only is the Jyotis of all Jyotis (or Light of all lights). 

He only is Parameśvara. He only is Parabrahman. 

That Brahman I am. There is no doubt (about it). Jīva is Śiva. Śiva is Jīva. That Jīva is Śiva alone. Bound by husk, it is paddy; freed from husk, it is rice.

Achyuta means, “Does not leak, or drip" which means, separate  what is real from what is not and ennobled by the Divine Hymn, proceed to envelope the world in Siva Jiva, a way of life signified by extreme kindness.

The Seer of this way is verily the Agent of God, an Enforcer of the Law who bound by his duty, as bound as a grain of rice to its husk, is always successful. 

5. In like manner Jīva is bound (by karma). If karma perishes, he (Jīva) is Sadāśiva, “perennially cheerful.” 

 So long as he is bound by the bonds of karma, he is Jīva. If freed from its bonds, then he is Sadāśiva, the most kind.

Prostrations on account of Śiva who is of the form of Viṣṇu, and on account of Viṣṇu who is of the form of Śiva.

The heart of Viṣṇu is Śiva. The heart of Śiva is Viṣṇu. As I see no difference[1] (between these two), therefore to me are prosperity and life.

There is no difference—between Śiva and Keśava (Viṣṇu). The body is said to be the divine temple. The Śiva (in the body) is the God Sadāśiva[2] (in the temple).

6. Having given up the cast-off offerings of ajñāna, one should worship Him with the thought "I am He". 

7. To see (oneself) as not different (from Him) is (jñāna) wisdom.

 8. To make the mind free from sensual objects is dhyāna (meditation). The giving up of the stains of the mind is snāna (bathing). The subjugation of the senses is śouca (cleansing).

 The nectar of Brahman should be drunk. For the upkeep of the body, one should go about for alms and eat.

He should dwell alone in a solitary place without a second.

He should be with the sole thought of the non-dual One.

The wise person who conducts himself thus, attains salvation. Prostrations on account of Śrīmat Param-Jyotis (Supreme Light) abode! May prosperity and long life attend (me).

9. The nectar of Brahman should be drunk. For the upkeep of the body, one should go about for alms and eat.

The mind, like the body needs periods of stoicism in between periods of indulging. Religion is great, but not all day. 

The goal of the saint, in fact is to leave religion behind and be on Line of Sight. 

For Line of Sight to work, one must abandon all hope of being God’s master through religious precepts and occasionally let Him drive: 

10. He should dwell alone in a solitary place without a second, and just be with the sole thought of the non-dual One. 

Why the God of War admits nectar and then emits Pure Light is for the sake of removing all delusions about Salvation. Once staved off the Spirit supposedly imposes long life and prosperity: 

The wise person who conducts himself thus, attains salvation. Prostrations on account of Śrīmat Param-Jyotis (Supreme Light) abode! May prosperity and long life attend (me).

But first...the Big Battle. 

11. O Narasimha![3] O Lord of Devas! through Thy grace, persons cognize the true nature of Brahman that is unthinkable, undifferentiated, endless, and immutable, through the forms of the Gods.

Like the eye (which sees without any obstacle the things) spread in the ākāś, so the wise always see the supreme abode of Viṣṇu. Brahmans with divine eyes who are always spiritually awake, praise in diverse ways and illuminate the supreme abode of Viṣṇu. Thus is the teaching of the Vedas for salvation.

There was a king who got a boon. “Lord,” The king said, “I want to be immortal. I do not want to die of old age, not at night, not during the day. Not in a house, not outside, I do not want to be killed by a man or a god or an act of nature.” 

God said, “Sure, why not?”

The king turned into a tyrant and razed the land, savaged the people. One of whom was some queer the king had tied to a greasy pole. 

The people prayed and said, “GOD! What an asshole!” 

God said, “O, I agree.” In order to serve justice and keep the terms of the Boon, The Divine Self assumed the form of a half-man, half-lion, caused a solar eclipse, took the King into a doorway, sank his claws into his flesh and tore it right from his bones. 

The verse says “Through this Terrible Format, reveal what is believable. Show me how things really work.”  Well they aren’t working and we all know why.

No one wants to be awake or see how God is responding to the prayers of the abused, the disowned, and the desperate and their numbers are growing rapidly. Even still everyone thinks salvation is upon them:

Brahmans (saints) with divine eyes who are always spiritually awake, praise in diverse ways and illuminate the supreme abode of the Infinite.

Thus is the teaching of the Vedas for salvation.

OM TAT SAT.

HARI OM.
