I resurrected an old character from one of my scrapped stories!
It was one of my spiritual, magical fantasy stories where the characters were witches, making spells and throwing their spirits in and out of the astral realm.
Now that I know how not-great THAT is, I don't write those kinds of stories anymore. I CAN reuse the characters for my new, more God-centered stories though!
This is Candice (or Carissa. Haven't decided yet), a 32-year-old working woman. She used to be a 26-year-old unemployed woman also named Candice, who used to be a 22-year-old university student again, also named Candice, who used to be a 16-year-old boyfriend stealer (yikes!) called Tamara, who used to be a 13-year-old hunted by a supernatural vampiric creature, the original Tamara.
She went through multiple iterations and multiple storylines over the years and hopefully, this one sticks. She's honestly a whole new character at this point!
It's an end-of-the-world/alien invasion type thing. A lot of my stories are still supernatural, but I put a lot of the supernatural in their rightful place and don't have my protagonists fooling around with any of it.
The way politics has made so many Christians hateful and vindictive makes me sad. Satan has done well to enter the church using politics as a tool. Every time I see a christian mocking and belittling someone on the other side I wonder if they know they are letting the devil in.

Also did this doodle at 12 am. Well, more like 1 am, because for me 'doodle' doesn't necessarily mean 'quick art'.
Just a girl with cool hair 💇‍♀️

There's a handsome man on YouTube with my dream afro and he inspired this drawing.
When my hair is long enough, I'm going to try doing the finger curls he does 💇‍♀️

I traced some drawings from my sketchbook and coloured them in! I'm taking the time to relearn digital drawing because it's ridiculous that it takes me a week to finish ONE character!

Another OC! This is Bruna Draven, a bird-type character. I remember putting a lot of thought into her design, but I never got around to working on her story.
She was supposed to be a jealous rich mean-girl, but she slithered her way into being the oblivious yet well meaning friend.
She, Rowen and Iris are all from the same universe and are friends.

Don't get it twisted. Jesus didn't hang out with prostitutes because He approved of their lifestyle. He engaged with them - He loved them! - because they were in desperate need of a Savior. Real love doesn't tolerate sin. Real love holds you in His arms and asks, "Child, why do you keep hurting yourself like this?"
Hello! Just wanted to ask what you think about the idea in the fandom that Shang might be bisexual because he was in love with Ping before he knew Ping was actually Mulan?
It’s silly, and stupid. It’s the product of people mistaking any kind of “positive reaction” for “romantic love.”
Shang is impressed that Ping can fight well, especially since he’s the one working toward that goal—having trainees who can fight better than he found them—and people think that pleased/impressed facial expression must mean he was in love with a man.
Shang is glad at least someone is on his side, based on his own merit, not just base on his parentage—and he happens so be glad enough to show a tiny half smile over one shoulder—so people think that tiny half smile means he’s in love with a man.
Shang’s life is saved by Ping, who breaks the rules, breaks ranks, and disobeys a direct order—the complete polar opposite of discipline-focused-character Shang—and so he shows concern when Ping collapses—so people think that concern must mean he was in love with a man.
There are many and varied shades to human emotion. It is not “totally impassive” OR “wildly in love.” A smile doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Joking together doesn’t mean one character is in love with another. Concern when one character is injured does not mean one character is in love with another. Growing up together and remaining close through hardships does not mean one character is in love with another. Bickering doesn’t mean one character is in love with another.
Romantic love is a conscious choice that might get its inception from an involuntary moment of attraction. But everything else about it has a beginning moment, and that beginning moment is when Character A consciously thinks, “what if me and Character B got together romantically?” Shang does not have that moment until he’s on the steps of the Emperor’s palace. He has a changed perspective, he has admiration, he even has camaraderie, but he does not have “what if me and Mulan got together romantically?” until after the fight is over and it’s time to evaluate who they are to each other.
People have a desperate desire to make every positive or barely-kind interaction between two people be the utmost peak of all affection, instantly, and it’s sad. It shows either an obsession with sexual desire or a desperation to see “romantic love, which is the Peak of All Interactions” in everything.
