Ephesians 6:16 'Take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.'

The enemy wants to see us destroyed and rendered powerless. But the Lord has given us the tools to take a stand and walk in victory.

We have the shield of faith and it can put out the fiery darts of the enemy. Stand firm, hold onto your faith and see the flaming arrows extinguished.

PRAYER: Lord, with the eyes of my heart, I see how the attempts of the evil one to destroy me are being reduced to ashes. I take the shield of faith and I see how You cause me to walk on the high places You have prepared for me. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

remembered that my shepard/spacer shep has a still alive mom in the alliance according to ME2/3

also remembered that that character (katrine/caia) always has a sister uninvolved in the family's career military history

remembering she had to mourn her elder sister who just Disappeared for two years, and would have spent even longer knowing shepard isn't alive bc their alliance mom probably can't just tell a civillian doctor,

indulgently , but what would talon's impressions of rell be if the three of them travelled together ? and even more indulgently , does talon ever get used to yone's humming or whistling ?

Once they learn why Rell is also out for the harbingers Talon will settle with it, maybe shake their head and remark on how they were forming a crew to fight the inevitable. Without a history of family or even a place of belonging, there ain't much empathy they can share with her, only understanding for her search. Maybe be a little too pushy of a voice telling her seeking revenge will be good, actually. If Yone glares at them hard enough, they'll relent though. Nothing to the young witch personally, but Talon already doesn't handle company too well. If all three of them were to take up travelling, Talon would probably try and be ahead of the others, work as a scout. But this won't work during long trails of horseback. (getting a horse for them is also gonna be a problem with the beasts scaring so easily...) They'd ask Rell questions now and then on her powers, and what her trickery with metal and fire is capable of. Knowing a thing or two with their own magic of summoning brimstone weapons, they might even offer her pointers or help with her training. They'd also share stories of all kinds if asked, they might have one or two about other witches. This would all depend on if Rell even let them talk to her much, let alone tolerated their existence near her. Talon's very much on the same page of 'I would rather the demon-thing was anywhere but here.'

Noticeably, Talon would be standoffish and cruel when all three begin travelling together, making pointed remarks especially at Yone's expense. But as they went on, seeing both the gunslinger and witch's prowess, they'd become far less loose of tongue, and their avoidance would be more from something troubling them, than unfriendliness. No matter the outcome of their little venture, and if the harbingers can be stopped at all, Talon knows very well how both of them feel on hellspawn. And nothing can sway them that the second they're finished, their alliance will no longer be in place. And against both of them, Talon knows they don't have much of a chance. While I'm side-tangent-ing here I'll also say that Talon would try to keep their affliction to themself as much as possible. Any questions about their feathers will be blocked, sidelined, ignored, or they would provide an ill-omen and say nothing else. They'd try to keep any coughs out of sight or ear of both of them - there's no sympathy for their plight, and they ain't looking for it.

With both Yone and Rell around, Talon's nature would simmer far quicker, which would be conflicting to them; both unnerving, and welcome. When they hear Yone hum or sing for the first time, mostly likely after being in his company a while, they'd watch with a quizzical look and ask why he was doing that without an instrument accompaniment - whistling would be given a grimace and the question would be to interrupt it after a short while. Even if he were to explain to the best of his ability, Talon would still find it odd, but with future tunes they would ask him what particular ones are when he finishes, or if they're repeated, ask if it was this or that. Maybe while around a fire one night, they'd ask if they could hear a full song, and what it meant or the history behind it. Talon has no intent on joining in or complimenting how Yone carries a tune, but they'll learn one in return for having to listen to it. Whistling will still be unwelcome, but they'd give an excuse like 'it'll disturb the horses' rather then say it's irritating them, or even suggest he hums instead; accidentally said along the lines of, 'it sounds better when you hum.'

Aftermath!

an attempt ™️ was made 👍

[booksofadventures]

"W-Wait how could you tell I could read your notes so quickly??"

He was surprised that Nix had caught that so quickly actually. He knew his brother was having a harder time to normal in decoding Nix's notes, Edward was not the Elric with the more musical talent. But he was really surprised that it had been caught on that he was the one who did.

Even though he can't blush anymore he can still feel himself get flustered, glad that Edward was asleep right now.

"Please don't tell him."

@angelichooves - from HERE

✥✧∘* "Why? So youse can just avoid yer issues even more?" The sinner speaks bluntly, leaning against the wall as he stared down at the other with a rather flat look.

✥✧∘* "Listen, I know me and you...we don't always get along. But uh..." He trails off for a moment, eyes shifting to the side as he thinks about the next words out his mouth. "...It's not like I like seein' you upset." At least, compared to how he saw her before. Things changed. Who could blame him for feeling closer to these people--to her after all of that? She was a ride or die bitch at this point.

✥✧∘* "...So, tell me what's up. I'm a good listena'."

Vaggie shoots Angel a glare, lips curling down in a scowl. She's not truly mad at him. Deep down, she knows he has a point. However, she's furious at herself, too much not to unload the feeling on anyone who gives her an excuse to do it.

"Look at who's talking! Are you seriously judging me when you avoid all your problems trying to vanish them with drugs and booze?"

Alright, maybe that's a little too much of a low blow. She knows what having to put up a facade to cope with your trauma means. Just as the sinner, she puts on a mask every day, to be able to face the world. And also to be able to live with herself.

The former Exorcist pinches the bridge of his nose, sucking in a deep breath. She needs to get her shit together and it's obvious by now that she can't do it alone.

"...Sorry. That was uncalled for," she admits in a quiet voice, looking away. "It's just...things haven't been great with Charlie. After the whole...you know. I can't blame her for that, I messed up, but..."

Her voice trails off for a moment, as she struggles to put her thoughts into words.

"I want to fix it. I need to fix it. But I don't know how."

[arcvenus]

how cool would it have been to see adam & the exorcists in full angelic armour. crusader style. ( joph vc )

[rosaacicularis]

which was more culturally significant, the renaissance or hermitgang

[vaguely-concerned]

I couldn't help myself, I had to make Zero in beskar armour a reality. my desperation to see it realized overpowered my trepidation in the face of drawing armour, such was its power. (it was actually really fun to draw tho, turns out!) I imagine that it's beskar prosthetic arm + plate armour on the upper body and right arm, where the majority of Zero's remaining organic parts are still hanging out, and beneath that a cortosis weave undersuit for the whole body as an extra layer of insurance. altogether it probably costs more than the yearly national budget of a decently sized Mid-Rim planet and involved several acts of brazen, breathless corruption/treason on Blue's part, but damn if Zero isn't going to be all but invulnerable by the end of it (and ready to face down lightsaber users especially -- this could be real cool if they'd end up going against Louphan eventually).

needless to say blue has a picture of zero in full armour hanging over his bed like a pinup poster. yes in a horny way. he also definitely helped design the look of it

+ my first little design idea sketch! (or rather the first one that stuck/didn't make me want to crawl under a rock and never come out haha)

No-- I am definitely not thinking of a new au for Sanji because of this.
