Obviously Jesus suffered and died for us, but he rose again conquering death. For us the cost is huge, salvation may be free to us, but it means we surrender the right we have to our "self". The new life we now have being born again is not our own. Life is no longer about us, but all about Him. We die to self and yes, carry our own cross daily. “And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself?” " ‭‭Luke‬ ‭9:23-25‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Interesting that I was having a #decktalk explaining this to a neighbor moments ago and then saw this meme. Being a Christ-follower is a daily surrender of self. It's not about us, it's about Him and pleasing Him, following His mandates. My neighbor asked "Does God punish us?" I said no, not directly, but because of the Fall we still live under the curse of sin. We are spiritually free from the ultimate curse of the Fall as His followers, that being spiritual death, but there are still consequences to our actions that result in self harm and can even have secondary effects often resulting in harm to others. For example, smoking cigarettes, (my neighbor only has 46% use of his lungs due to his lifetime of smoking), doing drugs, drinking alcohol or smoking Marijuana and driving, drunkedness, eating high carb meals that are making us obese, drinking a soda considering its sugar content, sleeping around, living together in a relationship without being married, just to name a few ... all these have consequences. (It's interesting pastors don't preach on these things much anymore - maybe fear of losing their congregants). Are these things sinful? Sure. When it comes to the effects of these things, it's not God punishing us. It is us doing it to ourselves. It's like playing Russian roulette with our lives, and sometimes the lives of others. As we surrender to Christ, He transforms us through the process of sanctification where we sin less and less as our desire is to please Him, not ourselves. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChTIg3kMtX5UT7csEOcY-rtTjWDKMQ2cS6O2G40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[ Start ID: a discord conversation between myself (vwoop) and @beachwae (nerdnapper). It reads as follows: first image: vwoop: [ attached photo of quackity standing with his arms too the side, he looks slightly compressed. there's white text overlayed ontop of him that reads "mom i threw up"]

nerdnapper: instinctively thought i was on tumblr dot com and started writing an id

second image: vwoop: BAHAHAHA [ attached photo of quackity standing infront of a minecraft background. he is holding up one arm, and has a laser effect over his eyes that glares at the camera. top text reads "ME TRYING TO FIND" bottom text reads "THE ASKERS"]

nerdnapper: "[ID: Quackity glowing with one hand up and laser eye effect, piercing at the camera. Top text reads "ME TRYING TO FIND" Bottom text reads "THE ASKERS" end ID]" there u go

These are from Jena DellaGrottaglia‘s Instagram account. We can finally see some cards from The Good Tarot! I really like them. I am still unsure about the positive-only approach. Thoughts? Opinions? Let’s #decktalk together!

wanting c!dream to live with guilt and remorse for all the terrible things he did and not wanting c!dream to be tortured can and should co-exist before anyone tries to bring it up btw

"Why dont people want a happy ending for c!Dream-" if you want a feel-good "your past doesnt define who you are you can move on from your mistakes 🥺" you can have that with like. Every other character.

But c!Dream is NOT a character I'd want to attach a positive "learn from your actions and move on" story. No I want that shit to weigh him down and define him for the rest of his pathetic existence just like it will weigh down on his victims forever.

I want him to NEVER move on. If he ever feels a twinge of remorse I want that shit to stick in his head for the rest of his life.

actually, i saw a post talking about how CC aren't activists and it's just. it's really got me thinking! i don't usually do these kinds of posts so feel free to scroll

i use these streams as a means to escape my stressful life! someone in my house is yelling at me? bam almost always someone is streaming. no one's stream is interesting today? luckily they have an officially approved vod channel who updates reguarly. not feeling a stream? look at all these highlight & clip channels to numb my mind. all these animatics, fanarts, comics, fanfiction. all of it to turn my bran and comfort me and make me feel safe.

and i know im not alone! we have the term 'comfort streamer' for a reason, i was deep into boo/bee/tubbotwt, everyone there watches ranboo & tubbo to calm down, to feel safe! so why is it so many people want to hear about these cc talk about political issues (ones they're not usually informed about), when it's something people are trying to escape/distract themselves from? i know people want to signal boost important subjects, subjects people should reach out too. but cracking down on cc who are very young.(not just the teens because too many people reference ranboo/tubbo/tommy specifically, when we should include everyone else who isn't a child but is still young!!) and often times these streamers, youtubers, cc whatever, do this as a means to escape too! like it's their job, but they also enjoy streaming. they like it? it's a hobby? imagine doing a harmless hobby to help yourself de-stress and suddenly everyone's angry at you for wanting to enjoy yourself?

it makes no sense! none at all! there are people here who are willing to talk about these issues, who are educated and aren't people who are doing a job/hobby that's COMPLETELY unrelated.

yeah it's good to watch an educated person, yeah it's fine to inform them if they said something wrong/teach them if they're willing. but don't force them to learn. let them live, let them continue what they love because they're not hurting you. reach out to someone who's job/hobby IS boosting these voices & issues.

i'm just so so so so SO tired of being drowned in this whirlpool of everyone saying so and so is bad because they aren't talking about an issue, and thus criminalizing everyone else who enjoys them.

y'all (mcytwt) literally bullied a child so badly he's in therapy. which good on him for taking care of himself, but are you guys not sick with yourselves? i wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing i caused so much stress on someone they're taking therapy as a direct reaction to my actions. shame on twitter, shame on everyone who participated in that culture too.

not to air out my feelings on a public platform but like;

it’s taken me way too long to figure out that being a lesbian does not mean a woman loving a woman, or a woman loving a nonbinary person, or a nonbinary person loving women.

that i had spent so long questioning my sexuality, that i started calling into question my gender. i didn't feel right calling myself bi or pansexual, because while yes, i love people, i just can't find myself falling in love with a man.

i think the only reason this ever really clicked in my head was seeing a popular figure like eret publicly stating that they don't identify themselves with any gender that it finally clicked in my head that... i'm just not attracted to people who identity as male. the anatomy of the person just has nothing to do with it, it's the fact they identity and see themselves as a male that's the issue.

and i really shouldn't have spent so damn long having to figure that out.

it's not that any one person misinformed me, it's just that everyone said "oh you must be a lesbian or some form of sapphic because you don't like men. nonbinary people are included in that!' but they never specified... that? it's not just that? that it's a distinct lack of interest IN people who IDENTIFY as male?

maybe that's just my unique experience with attraction, or maybe i just didn't understand and everyone else got it. but i'm still a bit upset mostly with myself and the resources i was given too by friends, because i would always end up doubting myself and who i was as a queer person until this all clicked.

anyways queer people your thoughts? anyone have experiences like this? or have a journey similiar/different from mine? i'm genuinely curious how other peoples view points on this !!

ooo im the crane wives anon from the other day i think my fav AT THE MOMENT is keep you safe. head empty only crane wives

YESSS CRANE ANON MY BELOVED KEEP YOU SAFE <333333 i remember so vividly the first time i listened to coyote stories and absolutely bawling my eyes out at keep you safe. it just struck such a cord with me, i can't explain it <3

if you're looking for some nice live concerts of them i recently updated my youtube playlist with over a 100 new videos UE UE UE

[arcadsia]

@/im-unburnable-trash - adding to this one as well! as a previous friend of his, he also told me as a child (12, very autistic) that i was abusive and manipulative and when i confronted him about it years later he basically said “no hard feelings, right?” and never gave a proper apology. this man bullied a child with autism, as a 16/17 y/o and thought that was okay and didn’t see ANYTHING wrong with it years down the road. 

just found out a mutual and close friend for like 5 years is a transmed. what the fuck

[arcadsia]

i hope im sending this ask to the right person, if im not then ignore this but. what is your fav crane wives song. or like top 3 or something

HO HO HO YOU HAVE TOTALLY REACHED THE PERSON....

top three? that's really hard.

i think number three right now are in order of least to fave are... 3) counting sheep - i think i love this song so much because it's just genuinely so relatable and i can just really jive with it for my personal life as welel as my oc life. i think out of all crane wives songs, the most likely song i'd animation for is this one :]

2) take me to war - GODDDDD TAKE ME TO WARRRR HONEY I DARE YOUUU /LYR it just goes it literally sweeps me off my feet everytime i hear it. it has no right being so good. definately adore this song.

1) the moon will sing - this one is so embarrassing not because it's a banger song but because i have a genuinely unhealthy emotional attachment to this song. it's been my favourite song since i started actively listening to them, and any of my discord friends can absolutely attest to this. <3 i'd even venture to say it's my favourite song of all time just cause of it's importance to me :] honorable mentions r: down the river, volta, and daydreamer !! the entire coyote stories album is by far my favourite album atm :] gonna pass this question to @entropipal since xe loves the cranes as well :D

[arcadsia]
