when you're feeling down, scared, confused, lost, angry, filled with grief, need a reason to keep going, need to feel loved... when you need protection, guidance, healing, fun, relaxation, a boost in faith, justice, love... and you go to the gods, your angels, your spirit guides, Source Creator? they love it. they ADORE when they can comfort you. they love being there for you, holding you. they LOVE you. the fact that you run for cover for them, that they can be there for you, that you trust them?? it all means THE WORLD to them

just like when your cat gets scared by thunder, and he comes running to you to for cover... and after a bit, he's curled up in your arms and snoring in no time? and you feel so special, because you get to hold this wonderful little creature... full of so much love, purring, and knowing he went to YOU? and you felt like you did something special?

the Divine feel that way when you ask for help. they WANT to show you how good it can get. please, ask them. they WANT TO so bad. you have to ask to receive. be as specific as you want!!

you can ask for help recovering from addiction. help for homelessness. abusuve situations. needing food in your fridge! though it can be more

if you want a new bike, art supplies, a lover or family who's just right for you...

if you're carrying in the groceries that are too heavy all at once, and it's too much but you want to do it in one trip... if you're struggling to get the paint stroke on the left eye JUST right in your art piece. if you want your cake to turn out PERFECT for your cousin's birthday... whatever it is!! the gods, your angels, your guides... they are BRIMMING with so much love and help for you

you just have to ask 💗🌈

please ask. they're WAITING for you to ask. they are holding so much blessings for you and just WAITING for you to ask and receive!! if you already pray and think you ask for too much help, or you ask without thanking enough... THINK AGAIN

you don't have to get on your knees and kiss the ground and say "THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, YOU MADE THIS WORLD THE WAY IT IS AND YOU SHAPE THE CLOUDS, HOW LUCKY I AM TO RECEIVE THIS GENEROUS BLESSING!!!!" when they literally just. give you a ride to work

if you wouldn't thank your bff for giving you a lift like that... you don't have to do that for the divine!! I think we as a society are far too used to getting as little help as possible with expecting 2-3x the help, service, or even friendship oin return

they want to see you haopy SO BADLY. they love you, dude💖💗💗💖💗💗💗🍇🪓🪓🪓

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m *dying* to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?” The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind that door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny. May I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk

🌈🧿🪷 Testimonies of my faith in the Divine ☮️🧿🍇

(trigger warning for: near death experiences, police brutality, medical trauma, medical malpractice, sexual abuse)

may this find who it is meant to find, by Divine Fate and Guidance 🫂

last august, I quit smoking nicotine and weed cold turkey. it fucked with my sanity horribly, though I had to. my lungs were so deteriorated. I had a goiter in my thyroid that was threatening to put me in a coma. I couldn't get medical care, living in a motel with no car, and the nearest hospital being the only one I would be sent to... (TW ahead) not only outright denying every medical emergency I went there for, but cops beating me til I had seizures, tying me down for days straight without letting me use the bathroom, drugging me against my will, institutionalizing me in the psych ward for only wanting physical medical care, telling me I wasn't experiencing seizures, being blamed for my allergic reactions to their medical treatment, being blamed for having my medical symptoms yet being told they weren't real (make it make sense), sent me back to the motel while seizing (I had to beg while seizing to be given a car ride and not to walk back to the motel), asking me if I was Mexican and who I voted for after I said yes, and hypnotizing me against my will and raping me

I had multiple near death experiences there, too many to count. I was so isolated, I went 6 months to a year without talking to almost anyone, except for my mom and brother here n there

I didn't know what to do. I was sleeping for 14-18 hrs a day. I didn't want to die. as painful as all this was, on top of being homeless from escaping from a horribly abusive home with so much trauma from the eviction... I didn't want to die

so I prayed. I prayed that I'd be healed. I prayed that my thyroid would be not only healed, but cured and protected from my goiter and hashimoto's. I prayed I would be cured from my seizures. I prayed that I would survive. I'm having flashbacks of when I was crying so hard in the bathroom, begging Source Creator "please. PLEASE don't let me die. I don't want to die. I want more than this pain I've been given in this life. I want to run, jump, and play. I want to not have to worry about any of this. I want to have a beautiful house with my family. I want to have so much money and stability that not only will I and my family live comfortably, that I can open a shelter for all the people like me. I want to help everyone else going through this"

I prayed to all sorts of deities and divine from so many religions. Hinduism, Greek Hellenism, Norse, Celtic, Christianity, Egyptian Kemetic... most of those religions I didn't consider myself a devotee of, and hadn't reached out to prior to this. I had worshipped 6 greek deities, and Thor from Norse mythology prior to this. I had done some ancestral work with 4 deceased family members

and they showed up. over and over. and over again!! I prayed for them to rally up as much help as they could. to get as many allies as possible. Durga, Jesus, Freya, Thoth, Sekhmet, Archangel Michael, Brigid, Shiva, Odin, Poseidon, Loki, Mother Earth, Lugh, even Ishtar from Babylon. the Sun, the Moon... I grew an unbreakable connection with them and Divine Source. and these names are only the tip of the iceberg

I was amazed. cultures of religions I had not taken part in from this life... they all showed up. they all stayed by my side continuously, over and over. they have helped me accept my divine purposes and guidance. they have helped me let go of so much pain, fear, hurt, and perceived unworthiness of being happy. they have protected me and my family from so so much. they have shown me love beyond what I thought possible. they have become family to me. they are always right by my side

I'm not out of being homeless yet, and there have been months where things have been hard scraping by... and I know it'll all be okay. I don't have seizures anymore. my goiter is cured. my thyroid is almost done balancing out, and is getting healthier by the day. I've been seeing the beauty within me and all around me more. I've been connecting with loved ones more and easier. I recovered from addictions. I've been healing in ways I never thought possible

if you're homeless, sick, in pain, have fresh trauma, or are generally stuck in life... you can just pray. there's nothing stopping you. you deserve to be healed inherently. you deserve to have a stable, safe, and happy place to live inherently. you deserve to have support inherently. it doesn't matter how bad or how light it is. if you hold a glass filled only 1/5th the way with water for weeks... it doesn't matter if it's only 1/5th filled. it'll get heavy. it'll wear you down

so please. trust in the divine. they love humanity so much. they love YOU so much. they want you to ask for help. they want you to receive it!! they want you to enjoy life. life does NOT have to be toiling every single day. and that is the BAREST MINIMUM POSSIBLE you and I deserve. that every human on earth deserves

I have prayed for Source and the Highest Good to take us into their hands until we are stable. to take the homeless into their hands until we are housed, and even after that. to take the sick into their hands until we are healed and stable, and even after that. to take all people who are queer, disabled, of color, of the non dominant religion in their area, food insecure, those suffering from genocide and war, refuges, intersex, elderly, non adults, those forced into marriages, trauma survivors, any who are marginalized in any way, shape, or form... all of humanity!!!! to be taken into the hands of the HIGHEST good, and to keep us in their hands until we are safe, sound, and happy

I have prayed that those responsible for war, genocide, bigotry, white supremacy, hatred, evil, abuse, and those who willingly uphold these systems to be taken into their hands, as well, until they receive their judgement. to not escape it. and even after that

so many POWERFUL shifts are happening. don't be surprised if you feel more tired, hungry, off, upset, happy, or calm more than usual. if you need/want help, don't hesitate. ask your neighbors, friends, family, teachers, coworkers, your support network. to please help, or direct you to the best help they know. if you feel you don't have many or even anyone to turn to... please pray. you have nothing to lose, only to gain. you will be surprised... I promise :)

if you've been struggling with having faith, this is your sign <3

To the Gods lost to time

We may have no way of knowing your name, but we do know you. We know you existed.

We may have no way of knowing what purpose you served in your pantheon, but we appreciate the work that you did, and the work you continue to do.

You may be older than what we think of as the first civilizations, you may be older than evolution, but thank you for being with our ancestors.

Thank you for holding their hands, teaching them how to hunt, which plants were edible, how to walk, how to develop.

It's because of you that humanity exists in the way we know today.

I'm sorry you've been lost to time.

#300 - #301 - The skitty line is one of the most exotic cat pokémon, and many yearn to own them as pets. However, they are extremely mischievous and hard to maintain, being more suited for high energy lifestyles such as contests or battling.

sponsored by @sweet-tea-skitty! Design process under cut

I wasn't sure what to do with the skitty line, until my friend mentioned servals and everything clicked. Both in shapes, but also because skitty is often a rare encounter, and servals are exotic pets that are not fit to Be a pet, I could play with that.

I did some simple studies of servals, and kinda just jumped into designing these guys

The main things i added were serval spots, but also a crescent moon marking to delcatty, and little crescent moon in skitty cheeks. Delcatty used to have a moon marking on its gen 3 sprite, and I wanted that back!!! it was so cute!!!! I think it ties their moon theming and moonstone evo a lot more.

I also kept delcatty's tail more similar to skitties. because it looks like a flower with stamens now which is very cute
