Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! My giggles and ghasts fics very sadly did not get done by Christmas and I'm super sad about it :(.

Instead, today I will announce who I had, so you can look forward to your fic coming very soon ^_^ so @an-inkling-of and @mushiewrites both of your fics are more then halfway done, and I absolutely can't wait for you to read them <3

Okay so okay so okay SO. I’m editing 1 as I reread it and refamiliarise myself with whatever the heck I was doing, and then I’ll start on 2. It’s anyone’s guess as to why I thought I’d be able to finish 2 six weeks after 1. Clownery at its finest. But yeah I’m excited, yayyy. One step at a time I guess.

Also need to clean up that Lukethan tonight so I can post it tomorrow. Surprise surprise, it isn’t a smut. Truly there is a time and a place.

There might be a Nico thing. This is not a promise though.

And then that’ll be it for posting fics this year :D

Happy holidays 🎄!!!!!!! Hope your Chrism cookies turned out ok (and not burnt because you were reading about a ghoul handjob) 😁

Also, have you ever heard of putting red hots on gingerbread cookies?!? I have a friend that makes gingerbread/christmas spiced cookies with his family and he loves putting a crap ton of red hots on his. I think he’s insane for that one.

Happy Holidays, Vee! My crimus cooks came out real good despite one batch getting a litttttlleee more golden brown than I wanted (but that ghoul handjob was SO WORTH IT). When I was a kid we used to make cornflake/marshmallow wreath cookies that were decorated with red hots. And I have a memory of eating gingerbread with red hots on them--but I can't be 100% sure if it really happened. But definitely seems like something that could have happened in my house. It does sound really weird, but I love red hots so I would be all over it.

What are your favorite things that u have manifested?

Hmmm not having to be forced to confirm ""'my""" religion. I was being forced to do this catholic 'ritual' where I should confirm my soul to be catholic... I said I did not wanted to go lots of times, I fighted my mom a lot and she was unshakable. It was like a nightmare and I suffered sm in that place... Having to hear things I did not believed, and having to pretend I was one of them... My mom said no to me more than 10 times. Really. She said I had to chrism and that I 'had no choice'. I gave up and cried a lot of times, but I had to decide whether I would stay going there and being forced, or being free. I had to close my eyes and my ears to all my mom said lots of times. Ignore, ignore. I had social phobia crisis and anxiety there. But I stood strong always and always. Then I decided I would focus and dp it. So that's what I did. "I don't even want to know, I don't care about anything I AM NOT GOING." "I am free" "Be still and know I am God" "circumstances does not matter". I did that with all my faith.. and then my mom said "if you don't want to go, then don't go"... I was shocked but soooo happy. That day I felt how I am powerful and I cried sm. It was like I was in jail and then I was freed.

I have other stories like this... it's hard to be to pick my fav success, but not being a victim hits different, always. No one can hurt me anymore... I am free

ITS CHRISMS

[neroushalvaus]

Explaining my Thomas Barrow + The Beatles playlist will take long but please enjoy me assigning a Beatles song to each canon-ish TB pairing:

Cr*wbarrow - All My Loving

Close your eyes and I'll kiss you / Tomorrow I'll miss you / Remember I'll always be true / And then while I'm away / I'll write home every day / and I'll send all my loving to you

Th*mmy - I've Just Seen a Face

I've just seen a face / I can't forget the time or place where we just met / -- / Had it been another day / I might have looked the other way / and I had never been aware / but as it is, I'll dream of her tonight

Chrism*s - I'm Happy Just To Dance With You

I don't wanna kiss or hold your hand / If it's funny, try and understand / There is really nothing else I'd rather do / 'cause I'm happy just to dance with you

B*rris - P.S. I Love You

As I write this letter / send my love to you / remember that I'll always / be in love with you / I'll be coming home again to you, love / Until the day I do, love / P.S. I love you

D*xmas - If I fell

If I fell in love with you / would you promise to be true / and help me understand? / 'Cause I've been in love before / and I found that love was more / than just holding hands

The Roman Catechism

Part Two: The Sacraments

THE SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION (cont.)

The Effects of Confirmation

Pastors, therefore, should teach that, in common with the other Sacraments, Confirmation, unless some obstacle be present on the part of the receiver, imparts new grace. For we have shown that these sacred and mystical signs are of such a character as to indicate and produce grace.

The Grace Of Strength

But besides these things, which are common to this and the other (Sacraments), it is peculiar to Confirmation first to perfect the grace of Baptism. For those who have been made Christians by Baptism, still have in some sort the tenderness and softness, as it were, of new-born infants, and afterwards become, by means of the Sacrament of chrism, stronger to resist all the assaults of the world, the flesh and the devil, while their minds are fully confirmed in faith to confess and glorify the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence; also, originated the very name (Confirmation), as no one will doubt. For the word Confirmation is not derived, as some not less ignorantly than impiously have pretended, from the circumstance that persons baptized in infancy, when arrived at mature years, were of old brought to the Bishop, in order to confirm their faith in Christ, which they had embraced in Baptism, so that Confirmation would seem not to differ from catechetical instruction. Of such a practice no reliable testimony can be adduced. On the contrary, the name has been derived from the fact that by virtue of this Sacrament God confirms in us the work He commenced in Baptism, leading us to the perfection of solid Christian virtue.

Increase In Grace

But not only does it confirm, it also increases (divine grace), as says Melchiades: The Holy Ghost, whose salutary descent upon the waters of Baptism, imparts in the font fullness to the accomplishment of innocence, in Confirmation gives an increase of grace; and not only an increase, but an increase after a wonderful manner. This the Scriptures beautifully express by a metaphor taken from clothing: Stay you in the city, said our Lord and Savior, speaking of this Sacrament, until you be clothed with power from on high.

If pastors wish to show the divine efficacy of this Sacrament -- and this, no doubt, will have great influence in affecting the minds of the faithful -- it will be sufficient if they explain what occurred to the Apostles themselves. So weak and timid were they before, and even at the very time of the Passion, that no sooner was our Lord apprehended, than they instantly fled ; and Peter, who had been designated the rock and foundation of the Church, and who had displayed unshaken constancy and exalted magnanimity, terrified at the voice of one weak woman, denied, not once nor twice only, but a third time, that he was a disciple of Jesus Christ; and after the Resurrection they all remained shut up at home for fear of the Jews. But, on the day of Pentecost, so great was the power of the Holy Ghost with which they were all filled that, while they boldly and freely disseminated the Gospel confided to them, not only through Judea, but throughout the world, they thought no greater happiness could await them than that of being accounted worthy to suffer contumely, chains, torments and crucifixion, for the name of Christ.

Character Of Soldier Of Christ

Confirmation has also the effect of impressing a character. Hence, as we before said of Baptism, and as will be more fully explained in its proper place with regard to the Sacrament of Orders also, it can on no account ever be repeated.

If, then, these things be frequently and accurately explained by pastors, it will be almost impossible that the faithful, having known the utility and dignity of this Sacrament, should not use every exertion to receive it with purity and devotion.

Ceremonies Of Confirmation

It remains now briefly to glance at the rites and ceremonies used by the Catholic Church in the administration of this Sacrament; and pastors will understand the great advantages of this explanation, if they revert to what we already said on this subject under its proper head.

The Anointing Of The Forehead

The forehead, then, of the persons to be confirmed is anointed with sacred chrism; for by this Sacrament the Holy Spirit infuses Himself into the souls of the faithful, and increases in them strength and fortitude to enable them, in the spiritual contest, to fight manfully and to resist their most wicked foes. Wherefore it is indicated that they are to be deterred by no fear or shame, the signs of which appear chiefly on the forehead, from the open confession of the name of Christ.

The Sign Of The Cross

Besides, that mark by which the Christian is distinguished from all others, as the soldier is by certain badges, should be impressed on the more conspicuous part of the body.

Time When Confirmation Should Be Conferred

It has also been a matter of solemn religious observance in the Church of God that this Sacrament should be administered principally at Pentecost, because on that day especially were the Apostles strengthened and confirmed by the power of the Holy Ghost. By the recollection of this supernatural event the faithful should be admonished of the nature and magnitude of the mysteries contained in the sacred unction.

The Slap On The Cheek

The person when anointed and confirmed next receives a gentle slap on the cheek from the hand of the Bishop to make him recollect that, as a valiant combatant, he should be prepared to endure with unconquered spirit all adversities for the name of Christ.

The Pax

Lastly, the peace is given him, that he may understand that he has attained the fullness of divine grace and that peace which passeth all understanding.

Admonition

Let this, then, serve as a summary of those things which pastors are to expound touching the Sacrament of chrism. The exposition, however, should not be given so much in empty words and cold language, as in the burning accents of pious and glowing zeal, so as to seem to imprint them on the souls and inmost thoughts of the faithful.
