...you know, for some reason I wasn't even aware you were Christian e.ea It's nice to see people for whom their faith is a normal part of normal life, over here most people are very secular as well as very private so I've gotten used to a situation where if you're enough of a believer to say it out loud you're also 99% of the time a crusader out to convert all the heathens and cure all the gays. Seeing you and Kat is helping me learn to react to religion more normally, thank you for that :)
Oh, you're welcome! I'm glad~ ^^
Ahhh yes, the crusader/Westboro Baptist types... :/ They're the reason why I feel like if I so much as mention my faith I'm going to get mocked :'D Some do go too far with things...
I do know I’m amused fairly easily. A lot of Tumblr stuff makes me laugh like crazy, I laugh when watching various movies (like RED. Oh my gosh RED is freakin’ great. MARVIN IS THE BEST) and TV shows (PSYCH. PSYCH OH SO MUCH). Like, hilarious dialogue especially (Shawn Spencer and Burton Guster of Psych ESPECIALLY).
However, I do not like jokes that either mock my faith or come dangerously close to doing so. Even if the person means absolutely no harm and is just kidding around, things that toe the line of mocking Christianity make me very uncomfortable/annoyed.
9. Put your music player of choice on shuffle and list the first 3 songs
-Monster [Alternate Radio Version] - Skillet
-He Reigns - Newsboys
-Plead The Fifth - Relient K
Wow no tobyMac showed up that’s actually kinda shocking…
10. Can you curl your tongue?
Yup!~
14. Most used word?
Like I said for Bri’s, I have absolutely no idea. XD
30. Favorite foreign food?
Sushi or Ramen. Probs Sushi.
42. How did you get your name?
Honestly? Dad wanted Jane but Mom said nope, Mom wanted something like Elizabeth (“Beth” would later become my middle name) or Elianna but Dad said nope, so they flipped through the baby names until they saw “Megan” and both agreed on it but with the Irish spelling (Meghan) since I have some Irish ancestry on Dad’s side.
45. How are you feeling right now?
Alright~ Nervous about chemistry grade, excited to go to Mitsuwa again tomorrow~
75. What’s the meaning of life?
I’m not sure how to word it. …Aaaaaaaand since I’m a Christian it would be very religiously-based for me. I guess the simplest answer I can think of (I am so bad at explaining sorry ^^”) is God? akfbdhsgf I wish I could explain it better but basically I believe that I should live my life to glorify God and one day I’ll be in Heaven with Him, so the center of my life is my faith that Jesus died for me and my sins.
77. What is your favorite accent?
Probs British
83. What’s your favourite number, and why?
3. It’s the first number of a string of 4 numbers I used to plop at the end of my username when the username I wanted was taken. Now I just use “3”. I’ve grown very attached to it. (Also additional reason of Holy Trinity.)
88. What’s the longest you’ve ever gone without sleep?
At least 24 hours. Probably 36-ish at max, way back when. Now I can only make it about 24 before I start to crash. (Learned that the hard way this past summer… “My sleeping schedule is a wreck thanks to staying up all night for the State Fair overnight shifts… I know! I’ll stay up all day and go to bed at a regular time!” It got to the point where any time I sat down during the evening I fell asleep in less than a second. I finally gave up and went to bed at about 8PM after I took care of some cats I was cat-sitting.)
okay Sonic I'm innocently scrolling down my dash here and literally every third post is about Karneval, explain yourself (=what is it and should I watch *3*)
Ahahaha, sorry, it's the latest one in my line of animes I've watched. XD And I managed to find the extras here on Tumblr and then finally found the subs for the raws on YouTube yessss so I was reblogging all of them.
I am not so great at explanation but basically it's about a boy, Nai, who is trying to track down a friend of his (Karoku) and all he has for a clue is a bracelet belonging to the organization Circus, who hunt down criminals/monsters. And with the help of Circus and a thief/pick-pocket named Gareki (who saves him in the first ep and is the one who identifies the bracelet) they try to track down Karoku (cause Circus has no clue who the heck Karoku is and is curious about how the heck he got one of their bracelets).
Oh, and the reason for Circus's name? Because that's what they do on the side when not hunting criminals/monsters down.
Hello there I just saw your Free/AC thing and hot DAMN it is so awesome! Didn't even realise how much that crossover needed to exist. Also I love your style~
Thank you! (*≧▽≦) I love AC ever since the first one with Altair and I associate makoharu in every video game I play so expect more game crossovers. (and thanks! My style is very inconsistent but I recently took a liking to the messy inking style ;w;)
behind-the-sky replied to your post “wow speaking of anime I still need to finish Paranoia Agent then...”
Mist we need to find time and stream all of this shit and watch it together making obnoxious commentary because you clearly have great taste and I've never managed to finish Paranoia Agent
Pft, hardly! Although yeeees, that sounds like a wonderful idea :D
Hello beautiful person! (✿◠‿◠) Once you get this you must share five random facts about yourself then pass this on to your 10 favourite followers.
Ahhh, thank you so much!! ^^
Here goes…
1. I’m going to college to become a veterinarian. Which is also why I worry a lot about college b/c vet grad school is insanely competitive. (We’re talking “need 4.0, experience in the field, and nail the interview”-level hard)
2. My least fav season of all is winter b/c I live in Wisconsin so it gets cold. Really cold. Really, really cold.
3. I once locked myself out of the house for over an hour and a half in winter. Not a fun experience. |D
4. I have mold/pollen allergies but they’ve died down a lot. I possibly “grew out of them”? I don’t know. I still hate humid weather.
5. I love music and always have my iPod with me. Always. I don’t know what I’d do without it.
Summary: The world is ending in fifteen minutes. Arthur wouldn't want to be with anyone else.
Note: Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you like this, and I sure hope it reaches you in time! I didn’t see that it was EST, so my submission was 20 minutes from the deadline (whoops!). Nonetheless, I did my best, so I really hope you enjoy it too! Have a great day!
“...Francis?”
Francis, still not asleep, cracked his eyes open. They had agreed to spend their last night - the night the world would end - together. So far, no changes had come up in terms of the Earth; no news reports, no sudden beacons...nothing had changed. But they knew, instinctively They had to know, Arthur was sure. They weren't human - they were something else entirely.
So when Arthur had called Francis hours before, in a panic and nearly crying, Francis had come without complaint. He knew, and so did Arthur, that the world would be ending in a matter of hours. Time-zones didn't matter now; nothing did. No ‘midnight’ call, no ‘alien invasions’...
In 15 minutes, the world as they knew it would come to an end.
“...Arthur?” Francis prodded his shoulder gently. Arthur jumped slightly before turning to face Francis - his eyes were red and slightly bloodshot; they had both cried in the hours before this...he smiled slightly, and Francis returned it. “What did you need?”
“...I’m not sure,” Arthur whispered. “But I can’t sleep.”
“Neither can I.” Francis smiled weakly. “Would you like to stay up?”
“...won’t it hurt?” he asked softly. Francis shook his head, gently reaching up to stroke Arthur’s cheek.
“I don’t think so.”
They were silent for a few moments before Francis pulled Arthur close again, meeting his eyes. Arthur saw that he was tearing up again, and it took everything he had not to tear up himself. No more tears...not now...
“You know, Arthur...” Francis whispered. “I always said that I would be the one to kill you. I fought and argued with you, I harmed you, and I...I did things that I am not proud of. But, now...” He chuckled sadly. “I guess none of it will matter. But I think I’m alright with it...” He was silent for a while, and Arthur debated asking Francis why he chose /now/ of all moments to tell him this...but then he spoke again. “I didn't want anyone else to kill you. I wanted to be the one, I wanted to be the only person who could do it. I know I wouldn't let anyone else kill me...and you know they tried,” he teased weakly. “But...I wouldn't let them. It had to be you, Arthur Kirkland.” He smiled weakly. “I wanted your face to be the last one I saw before I died.”
Arthur was silent, slightly shocked by Francis’s sudden honesty. Arthur, of course, had been certain that he loved Francis and wanted to spend his last hours with him, but Francis...beyond crying and making jokes, the other man hadn't said anything so serious the entire night. And now...
Francis smiled.
“Do you understand what I’m saying?” he asked softly, pulling Arthur close. “Do you see, Arthur?”
Arthur glanced at the clock nervously. Eight minutes.
“Will you say it too?”
Arthur looked back to Francis, eyes wide. He couldn't mean...Arthur shook his head slightly, and Francis nodded sadly. “It has to be you, Arthur Kirkland. I can’t die without hearing you say it at least once, to me...”
They were both silent for a few moments. Francis sighed, pressing his forehead to Arthur’s and meeting his eyes. “We are wasting time. Time that we don’t have...Arthur, there are seven minutes until this world comes to an end. If it is alright with you, I would like to spend the next two or three holding you and telling you how much I love you.”
Arthur’s heart leapt at the words; his stomach dropped. Seven minutes...realizing that now was not the time for hesitation, Arthur nodded quickly. Then, realizing again that now was not the time for shyness, he found his voice: “Yes. Please.”
Francis smiled, taking Arthur’s hand and meeting his eyes. “Arthur Kirkland...” he whispered softly. “I love you. I cannot imagine living in a world without you, and I am glad that I do not have to. I am glad that I am here with you, in this bed, holding you. You are so beautiful, and so perfect, and I am so in love with you. I have been in love with you for a very, very long time...I never, ever want to let you go. I never wanted to see you cry, and I never wanted to see you hurt, but...my duties as a country dictated that I make those things happen. But now...now, Arthur, nothing is stopping me. I can tell you all I want, as much as I want, that I love you. I love you, and I need you by my side, and I want you here with me for the rest of our lives. I know that won’t be long, but...it’s all I want. It’s all I need. I love you, I love you so much, and...” He trailed off for a moment before finding his voice. “I truly love you. Thank you for being here with me.”
Five minutes until the end of the world as they knew it.
Five minutes for Arthur to say everything.
Centuries worth of feelings, bottled up and hidden, and now he had five minutes to say them all...
“Four minutes,” Francis whispered, tears in his eyes...four.
“Don’t cry,” Arthur whispered suddenly, leaning forward and kissing Francis’s tears away. “Please, don’t cry Francis...Francis, I can’t say everything. There’s not enough time. I can’t do it, I want to, but I can’t, there’s not--”
“Then say the most important thing,” Francis pleaded. “Say what you want me to hear...say what /I/ want to hear...”
“...” Arthur was silent a moment longer - just a moment. Then, he met Francis’s eyes and took his hands again. “...Francis Bonnefoy?”
“Yes?” Francis smiled weakly, and Arthur returned it.
“I love you.” There was silence, Francis grinning tearfully with Arthur still not believing that he had said it. But once he had started, there was no stopping him, and he continued on. “I am in love with you, so in love with you, and I have been for such a long time. Francis, I can’t imagine life without you by my side, next to me, loving me, and I’m so glad I don’t have to. I love you, I love you so much, and I never want you to leave me. We’re going to die tonight, but I don’t want to lose you...I’ll find you. Wherever we go, if it’s heaven, hell, /anywhere/...I swear on my country, I will find you. I will find you, just so that I can say it again, and again, and again. I love you, Francis Bonnefoy. I love you so much...thank you for loving me, too.”
They were both silent, staring into each other’s eyes. Time didn't matter anymore - now they were together. They needed nothing else. Nobody else...
The clock continued to count down the moments before the end.
Francis smiled at Arthur, and Arthur smiled back.
And ten seconds before the end of the world...
Arthur and Francis had their first, and last, kiss.
