your blog actually makes me reflect and want to do better but its a lot easier said than done.. i want to know what have you given up to follow the right path to go on? do you miss how things were before??
these are such good questions and i’m so glad im having a positive effect!! thank you <3 it 100% is a lot easier said than done. for me its been a journey of seeking Jesus through completely honest prayer, getting to know the Bible, asking a lot of questions to pastors online.
what i’ve given up has come from what the Bible describes as sin. so, drinking, partying, fornicating (having sex before marriage), lusting (watching porn, having lustful thoughts/daydreaming, masturbating), sexual immorality (BDSM, kink, etc), drugs, the occult (astrology, witchcraft, manifestation, divination, crystals, etc), wrath (yelling at people when upset), cursing, stealing, dressing immodestly, and lying.
and all of these things i’m not avoiding to try to achieve perfection. it will never happen. all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. we are imperfect creatures. I’m avoiding these things because I want to be close to God. I don’t want to sin against him. of course He is forgiving and forgives us when we repent, even when we’re really repetitively struggling with the same sin. but if i am strong enough and i can make the choice, i will always choose not to sin. and if i’m weak in that moment, i repent, which means i cut off all the things (apps, websites, etc) that tempt me to that sin again.
and do i miss how things were before… no, because they all led to destruction for me. ignorance might be bliss but it ultimately led me to destruction. sin destroyed my life. i’m rebuilding through Christ. sin leads to death. Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. following Him leads to life. it’s not easy, and we won’t be perfect at it, which is fine, He doesn’t expect us to be.
these are also so much easier to avoid when you have the Holy Spirit. when you pray ask for the Holy Spirit. ask to be given life and reborn with Christ. pray for help with prayer and help in this journey. it can take a long time to overcome these sins so be patient with yourself.
i hope this helps! there are a lot of Bible verses used here. let me know if you’d want the specific Bible verses - i didnt want to make this too long :) <3 im here if you have any more questions or need support

Idk who needs to hear this but time and time again isn't over!!!
Webtoon removed the "time and time again will return!!!" Banner and I don't know why, but it's not over!!! There's still another 1/3 of the comic to go! There's a lot more stuff that I'm working on and it'll be coming back soon!
Please be patient with me, I know it's been a long time... But the stuff I'm making is really good and there's a lot of reasons it's taken this long. I promise I want it back more than anyone.
I'm trying to come back around the end of October. I'm doing my best to get everything ready in time, so no promises, but I'm on track to do so! I'm just one person writing and drawing everything, and my editor was fired so I'm not even getting any notes anymore. It's literally just me. I'm doing my best I promise!

are you going to read tsc when it comes out? and, if not: would you like your acolytes to give you the important kevin day updates or would you rather not?
oh my acolytes huh! well i don’t know :) it’s so nice of you to ask and i’m very touched actually…. nice to me 🥹…. i guess any (good) kevin updates would be nice and probably sway the balance on whether i read it or not, but at first glance i probably won’t read it unless it sparks my curiosity once it’s out and the story starts making its rounds around my circles :) i’m plenty interested in the period where jean stays with the foxes but i don’t much care for the trojans nor the proposed storyline*, though even a picky reader like yours truly can be convinced into buying a story if kevin day’s in it
*by this i don’t mean that i Dislike the process of jean healing but it’s just overall not my favorite theme and, to be frank, i don’t have much interest in reading about a normal well-adjusted team either. from my view tsc is aftg without my favorite parts (namely kevin day as a main character, the foxes’ messy dynamic, problematic and controversial side characters, neil’s narration, The Mafia, andrew in general) and while i am always and forever a ride or die for jean moreau, and i am glad he’s going to get better and be happy, a lot of my feelings for him don’t really stem from the idea that there is a softness underneath all the grit but actually and sincerely the fact that he is crazy. i Love jean because he’s horrible and scared and cruel and i don’t know if i’ll care much for him once he’s out of that state :) i meant it when i said a few months ago that i would’ve been more onboard with a story about the ravens (no matter how gruesome) or even a glimpse of jean’s pov in the nest, though of course nora sakavic should probably choose to be happy every once in a while so i wouldn’t ask her to write that
so tl;dr: you can send me good and relevant kevin updates if you want to and if they’re interesting enough i might read tsc in the future

if im attracted to music, would that make me objectum or conceptum? is there another word for it?
sorry that im asking you this specifically i dont know many objectums,,
either one dude. it depends on what you prefer tbh some people consider conceptum to be within the realm of objectum and some don't, so it's up to you. maybe you are attracted to specific songs or genres, maybe you like the idea of music as a whole. distinction doesn't really matter as long as you are comfortable with the term. i hear the terms soundum and musicum used sometimes? so those might be fitting, also looking through those tags might help you find others who have similar experiences + they might have more terms or labels you'd lke

Ya know, I've personally loved being drip-fed everyone else's previous lore. As a previously mainly Wilbur and Phil viewer, I knew their lore (way too much of it, Save Me) walking into the QSMP, but... not really anyone else's. Not even really the other English speakers. It's been a delight to discover the angst and batshit backstories of all the other cubitos
Cellbit's lore alone, bro. And I have such fond memories of Forever appearing on the island and simply terrorizing Phil for a while with his unrequited love left over from his ex, Phil being just as confused as I was.
I hope that anyone coming in from other places in the world has similar reactions to shit like c!Wilbur's Canon Family Tree (canon no matter how much Phil tried to make it less cursed, goddammit Wilbur.)
