The Book of Ruth

Today I sat with the book of Ruth, and it felt like more than just reading a story — it felt like watching God move quietly through loss, loyalty, courage, and redemption.

At the beginning of Ruth, everything feels heavy. Naomi is grieving, empty, and bitter. She leaves Moab carrying so much pain, and honestly, I can understand why she feels like God has dealt bitterly with her. Her husband is gone. Her sons are gone. Her future probably feels gone too. But even in all that sorrow, Ruth stays.

That part really stayed with me today: Ruth’s love was not convenient love. It was faithful love. Sacrificial love. The kind of love that says, I’m not leaving just because things got hard. Ruth chose Naomi in her pain. She chose uncertainty. She chose God. And that kind of loyalty is rare and beautiful.

Chapter 2 reminded me that sometimes God’s miracles look like “coincidences.” Ruth just so happened to glean in Boaz’s field — but it wasn’t random at all. God was already providing before Naomi could even see hope again. I love that Ruth didn’t just sit still waiting for life to change; she went out, worked hard, and walked in humility. And in that ordinary faithfulness, God met her there. Boaz noticed her character, her kindness, and the way she cared for Naomi. That makes me think about how powerful quiet faithfulness really is. God sees it, even when people don’t.

Then in chapter 3, Ruth becomes bold. Not reckless, but brave. She trusts Naomi’s guidance and steps forward in faith. I keep thinking about how Ruth’s reputation mattered — Boaz saw her as a woman of character. Their story wasn’t built on shallow feelings, but on integrity, respect, and honor. That speaks to me so much. Godly love is never just about romance; it’s about character first.

Chapter 4 feels like the exhale after a long season of pain. Redemption. Restoration. Boaz steps in as redeemer, and Naomi’s emptiness is no longer the end of her story. God restores what grief had touched. And what amazes me most is that Ruth, an outsider, becomes part of something so much bigger than herself. Her story leads into the line of David — and eventually to Jesus. What looked like a small, ordinary story of two widows trying to survive was actually part of God’s greater plan all along.

That’s what I keep coming back to tonight: the book of Ruth isn’t just a love story. It’s a redemption story. It’s about God weaving together heartbreak, obedience, bitterness, hard work, kindness, and bold faith into something beautiful. From famine to fullness. From funerals to family. From grief to loyalty. From brokenness to restoration.

And maybe that’s what gives me hope too — that God is still working in ordinary lives, in painful seasons, and in situations that feel empty. Even when I can’t see the whole picture, He is weaving. He is providing. He is redeeming.

God was working all along in Ruth’s story. And maybe He’s working all along in mine too.

Been playing a lot of roblox adopt me lately (yes I know) and there’s this new pet called the Many Mackerel (pictured below)

And I am in love with it because it’s literally a school of nine fish passing themselves off as a single pet

And so of course I had to name it

I spent a month reading harry potter fanfics and here’s what I learned

So for the past three and a half weeks, I’ve been doing basically nothing but reading Harry Potter fanfics and now I kind of just want to talk about them. No one cares but future me will! I tend to get caught in obsessions fairly easily (for instance, two months ago was comic books and last month was video editing and then k dramas). I’m feeling like my Harry Potter obsession is fading which makes me really sad cause it was a fun ride. I went from Drarry to Hinny, time travel to alternate realities, obscuris Harry to Dark!Harry, MCU AUs to Doctor Who AUs. I must’ve read more than 50 fics.

I’ve learned that I hate Dumbledore

Snape makes for a great mentor but I will only like him with proper character development

also where did Snape being Draco’s godfather come from? I don’t think this was in the books? I’m not angry, just confused

I read a fic that was so sad that I was physically unable to finish reading it -- actually I read two of those, one of them was a DID fic and the other Voldemort adopted Harry

the Voldemort one is quite possibly the most tragic thing I have ever read and even though it’s been two weeks I still haven’t been able to recover -- I was only halfway finished too GOOD LORD

another fic I read that was so fucking depressing was a time loop situation where Harry literally couldn’t get out of and it ended tragically

obscuris Harry is interesting but I really only like the ones where Newt is actually involved but I couldn’t find any finished ones

I don’t like it when Harry’s appearance changes, it throws me for a loop

there was this one where Harry got sent back in time and his figure got disfigured and so he didn’t even appear like himself anymore

I just find it odd for Harry Potter not to look like Harry Potter, idk

I also have a headcanon that his hair is very curly rather than shaggy

I haven’t been able to find a fic where Harry goes back in time to the Marauders era and has the right amount of angst but the right amount of fluff

I’ve read some good ones where the Marauders travel to Harry’s time but like,,, it isn’t quite what I’m looking for? I’m gonna have to write it, aren’t I? 

this doesn’t happen with irondad fics, literally everything you’ve ever wanted you can find it there

I read one where Harry did go back in time but she (fem!Harry) didn’t really interact with her parents or the Marauders that much, she became friends with Regulus instead

Regulus should’ve been in Gryffindor

I’ve not only read fics where Draco has been a Ravenclaw, Slytherin, but also a Gryffindor. I haven’t found one where he’s in Hufflepuff

I’ve read fics where Harry’s in every single house - the Ravenclaw one might be my favorite so far, it had to do with him going to a different timeline where there’s another Harry and he’s a major dick

Hufflepuff Harry one was funny, but it got distressing cause Dumbledore didn’t trust him and tried to get him expelled

actually the Hufflepuff one made my heart hurt cause Harry was put in the body of a Harry who isn’t the boy who lived and barely spoke and was basically like an even more traumatized Neville

Slytherin Harry is everything to me and he should’ve been in Slytherin

Ravenclaw Draco is something that can be so personal

I’m tired of reading Year One fics, I get it, there’s a stone, let’s move on

Year Four fics are my favorite however, there was one (which is my favorite) where Harry’s a necromancer and in the graveyard scene he calls corpses from the graves alive to help him get out of there it was so cool

I am partial to Harry/Draco but Harry/Luna is cute

there was a Pokemon Harry/Luna one that’s adorable and I’ve read it twice already

I like when there’s a ton of lore involved

especially Hogwarts lessons - like ancient runes can fucking get it, I love runes fics

there was an MCU AU one where I read Harry didn’t have his magic anymore, not as potent as it was, but he did have ancient runes

LISTEN I tried to get into Dark!Harry but after that Voldemort adoption one I can’t do it anymore, I will start crying literally right now -- he just wants to be fucking useful! He just wants to be loved! Is that too much to fucking ask for? 

however Harry doing dark!magic but isn’t actually on the dark side is cool

Death Eater Spy Draco! It makes me distressed but also I am so here for it!

Jenkins if you’re out there I love you (if you get this reference I love you)

I read a ton of Avengers adopt Harry when he’s younger but I don’t care for younger Harry fics, I prefer when he’s a teenager and I don’t have to read the first few years at Hogwarts, it can get repetitive

Give me all the angst with Harry being a horcrux please, I’m living for the drama

Lily is not a fan favorite weirdly enough, when the Marauders are in fics she’s usually not there which is unfortunate because I just really want a good Harry/Lily bonding moment

one of the saddest fics I read was where harry, luna, hermione and neville find themselves in an alternate dimension where Lily and Remus are married and alive, James is a dick but has other kids, and every single person that had died in their world is alive

I don’t like it when there’s Ron bashing, he’s one of my favorites, but if I have to, I’ll read some of them

there was this Sherlock fic (listen, I went in fucking deep, it’s been a weird month) where fem!Harry is on the run from the Ministry because I don’t actually understand and Ron and everyone is out for blood for her

Eleventh Doctor/Harry is a pairing I was not aware of but I actually kind of love?

Master of Death Harry is fucking OP and I love him for that

mcu aus is something I never knew I needed

Holly Potter and the Midlife Crisis is fucking everything

So is On Punching Gods and Absentee Dads, I realized it was the same author when I read in the author notes that the author was going to some volcano convention thing and I was like this is way too niche for it to be a coincidence

I’ve read Tony is Harry’s dad, Loki is Harry’s dad, Harry is just weird friends with Thor, ones where Natasha is Harry’s aunt

listen everyone is related to this boy

I will not read a fic if it doesn’t involve Harry, he’s my boy, he’s my love, I care only about him and him only I’m so sorry

you know that meme where people say nobody’s favorite character is harry potter, the titular character? Well meet me! He’s my favorite!

in battle of hogwarts fics, Remus almost always dies. Why is that? Why do you guys hate him so much? It’s always half and half for Fred, I never know if he’s going to live or not

In all of the good fics I’ve read I saw in the collections area of ao3 the same collection and I was like! You get me! 

if it says Gammily’s Bookshelf on the fic, it’s gonna be a really fucking great fic let me just tell you that right now

Parseltongue gets me so riled up, I fucking love Parseltongue, it’s so cool

there’s a reason I usually filter out non/c*n but I decided to let it flow and I ran into a few that fucking d e s t r o y e d me why do you guys read shit like this, it broke my heart

that being said I read one that was really nuanced and actually really good but it’ll never be finished and I’m very mad about that

Either we have a better understanding of how goblins could be utilized  than JKR or we’re just ignorant of how powerful they can be

weird coincidence that I’ve read two completely different fics where Harry thought having a threesome meant kissing three different people

Dumbledore’s a bitch and I hate him, every fic I’ve read so far agrees with me

there is a person out there that is CARRYING the bucky barnes/harry potter pairing on their back and I hope whoever that is knows how much I appreciate them

remind me never to click on a fic that hasn’t been updated since 2015 ever again, C’est La Vie I will miss you so

this is just a fucking quarter of the harry potter fics I’ve read but thanks for reading if you did, let me know if you want to know some of the titles

HIATUS

So you guys probably already noticed that I haven't been very active. Actually, there hasn't been any activity at all. I'm really sorry about that. I just have a bunch of stuff going on right now - I got accepted into uni but now I have to find a place to live and that's so frustrating because people keep turning me down because of my age. So I haven't been feeling my game lately, I'm just not motivated to open it up and play with the Delicates ( or any other save for that matter ).

This means that this blog will go on a indefinite hiatus. I don't know when I'll be back but hopefully it will be soon. I can promise though that I <b>will</b> be back, no matter what. You will see more of the Delicates, promise.
