Well, according to Ezekiel 1 they might look something like this…
According to Daniel 10 something like this…
According to Isaiah 6…
In Ezekiel 10…
Again in Ezekiel 10…
Basically, when the people writing Scripture tried to describe what they saw when they saw an angel… they run into the end of their imagination… they can never quite seem to fully explain it because they had trouble even comprehending what they saw, let alone being able to describe it to someone else.
Yeah, that’s usually how people responded to seeing them in the Bible…
There’s a good reason why angels’ standard greeting is ‘Do not be afraid’.
I used to listen to this radio show and one thing I remember because it was so funny was a Christmas special where an angel showed up to tell the shepherds about the birth of Christ. The conversations went:
Angel: “FEAR NOT.”
Shepherds: *screaming*
Angel: “I SAID FEAR NOT.”
Shepherds: *screaming LOUDER*
Angel: “WHAT PART OF FEAR NOT ARE YOU NOT UNDERSTANDING?”
So demons are fallen angels but they don’t look scary because they’re fallen, that’s just what all angels look like…
Maybe that’s why so many Christians see visions of Saints or the Virgin Mary instead…like Jesus is all…no, no see being human made me realize sending Angels might not be the best idea. I don’t know if humans can handle this. So I’m gonna just send mom
Jesus: It’s either Mom or the thousand eyed flaming wheel, Dad, do you really think the humans are gonna be chill with that when they’re terrified of spiders already?
God: Hey now, some of those spiders eat birds.
Jesus: …Dad…
God: …To be fair, Australian wildlife was my dark creation phase.
McSombra: McCree will wake up with a yell caught in his throat and his hand reaching for his gun, but Sombra is quick to gently grab his arm and hold his hand against her cheek. She will talk until his breathing is slow and he can hold her gaze without flinching away.
Sombra will gasp quietly, having terrible visions about the red eye and the many dark secrets that she keeps. If she’s holding onto him, he’ll feel her tense posture and wake up to her tight grip. It takes hours of rocking and humming into her hair until she unfreezes, but McCree keeps at it for as long as it takes.
Widowhanzo: Widowmaker has dealt with these terrible visions before, but that was back in Talon, when her chest didn’t have the capability to hold the horrors and fears of what was. Now, she lays still on the mattress, eyes wide open until Hanzo awakes to tears silently staining her cheeks. He holds her close, against his heart, until she breathes out and sobs.
Hanzo’s nightmares are always violent. He refuses to touch her with what he sees are blood stained hands. That is, until she coaxes him into letting her hold his face. Quietly, she tells him happy stories, fairy tales in her native tongue until he falls against her.
if you realize you’ve been studying for hours: grab a snack to refuel your body and watch a sitcom to refuel your brain. then back to the books.
if you’re feeling stressed out: take some deep breaths, text your friends, maybe stair at a wall for a few minutes. gather yourself.
if you can’t seem to focus: get moving and get outside. take out the garbage, check your mail box, maybe walk your dog. just get moving and get fresh air. it’ll help bring you back.
if there’s something else going on in your life and you can’t get it off your mind: write down what’s going through your head, sort of like a diary entry. it’ll help you work things out.
if you’re just mentally and physically exhausted: set a timer for 25-30 minutes and take a nap. any longer and you’ll hit REM and you’ll wake up feeling just as tired. once you wake up, get some caffeine in you.
if the material is boring as hell: find another way to study. see if there’s a crash course video online about it or draw out what you’re trying to learn in diagrams and pictures to make it fun.
if people around you won’t shut up: listen to some music. soundtrack and classical music is always good because they won’t absorb you as much as music with lyrics. white noise (like ocean waves, rain sounds, etc.) also works.
if you only half understand a concept: call/message a friend who’s not in the class and try to teach the material to them. this will help you mentally work through the material and will help you remember it as well.
I have finally reached 500 followers~ I didn’t even realize it was coming up until the other day!

Moira: Your condition seems relatively stable.
Reaper: No one’s accused me of that in a long time.
Soldier: 76: You were a disgrace to Overwatch. If I had known what Reyes had been planning, I would never have allowed it.
Moira: It seems to me that it was convenient for you not to look too closely into Gabriel’s business.
Moira: Well i won’t have to worry about my safety while the brave agents of Helix are with us.
Fareeha: Don’t be so sure about that!
Ana: Ahh, youth truly is wasted on the young.
Lúcio: Ana, have you SEEN my schedule?
or
D.va: Aw, come on, Ana! I bet you got up to all sorts of trouble when you were my age.
Mercy: Lúcio, I never realized your father was the one who invented Vishkar’s sonic technology.
Lúcio: The cortex was his life’s work, owned and patented by Vishkar… but it’s mine now.
Pharah: Helix should keep the peace in Vishkar developments.
Symmetra: We do not need an army to keep the peace– we prefer our own.
Moira: Dr. Zhou. I’m interested in your colleague’s research into the long term effects of cryogenic freezing.
Mei: Well.. yes… sure… maybe… *soft crying*
Mercy: Describing your work as unethical would be a kindness.
Moira: But the true question is whether or not you can deny my discoveries. No. I didn’t think so.
Moira: Our courageous cowboy. The years haven’t changed you much, have they, Jesse?
McCree: They certainly haven’t changed my feelings about working with you.
The first: Jack blames Moira for the downfall of Overwatch. This effectively confirms she was, in fact, a double-agent working for Talon at the time of “Retribution.”
The next few things are mainly speculation:
1) Jack and Gabriel eventually disagreed on their plans to handle Talon, resulting in a genuine falling out or a separation of methods. It is entirely possible that Gabriel wanted to continue infiltrating Talon, while Jack wanted to bail. This is indicated by “If I had known what Reyes had been planning, I would never have allowed it.” The full “idea” could arguably be rewritten as: “If I had known that Reyes had been planning to completely ‘lose himself’ to his role as Reaper, I would never have allowed it.”
2) Jack is “playing boy scout” just as intensely as Gabriel is playing “the bad guy.” In an effort to convince Moira of both roles, Jack is “doubling down” here, putting on a “masquerade” of his fake falling out with Gabriel. In essence, his line “I would never have allowed it” is a lie or a twisted truth.
Now, in my opinion –
It is the second one that makes the most sense out of Moira’s response.
Because Moira sounds suspicious of Soldier: 76 and Reaper here.
Yes, arguably, you could take her reply at face value and interpret it as, “It was convenient for me that you, Morrison, did not watch Gabriel’s actions.”
However, from the full audio, it sounds significantly more like Moira is saying, “It was very convenient that you basically let Gabriel do whatever he wanted…a little too convenient.”
Moira does not actually say directly that she and/or Talon benefited by Jack not watching Gabriel closely. Instead, she implies that she finds Jack’s lack of oversight…convenient, possibly for him.
All in all, I’m very intrigued by this. Very excited to see that the vast majority of Moira’s new interactions definitely imply she was the “double-agent” in “Retribution.”
if i heard the interaction with my own two eyes and ears in a video, it’s here. im probably going to be editing this post soon, so check the original before reblogging
i swear to god, men raising their voice is the most terrifying thing in the whole world. they dont understand, like its an immediate panic response, game over
I actually had no idea women found this so scary
my downstairs neighbors fight on a regular basis, and every time he starts yelling i’m a little afraid he’s going to kill her. i have no reason to think this except that he is a man and he is angry
My math teacher has a loud voice and a temper and he scares the living shit out of me almost everyday. He’s made me and other kids cry more than once and he and his teacher buddies make a joke out of terrifying students.
this was women in general? i knew my gf didn’t like it but I was unaware if this affected most women
Yes, it does
As a woman, I had no idea it effected other women like this. I was too afraid to even talk about it. I thought I was weak. Thanks for bringing attention to this.
My dad thinks it’s funny that I used to cry when he raised his voice. I freak out whenever some one does. Once my director did, and I started crying I couldn’t stop. I’m glad to see I’m not alone…
This is so important– seeing how common this is– and I also want you all to know that this is not normal. It isn’t something instinctively ingrained into women, to be afraid of men. There is no natural state of men being a threat that women constantly have to be afraid of. This is cultural. So many women and girls here have a mutual understanding of this feeling, and I think it really shows an unsettling truth about our society, particularly about how men are raised to act and how so many women have this defensive reaction gradually develop. It’s so important that these people have their voices heard, because it teaches us about problems that we just can’t deny the existence of any longer.
I’m glad I’m not the only one
My fellow men, pay attention. I didn’t realize how scary this could be until one of my exes explained it to me, and it’s heartbreaking.
Also, when we move too much during an argument, or lean forward, it’s scary, and I never knew. I was even a little insulted at first, because surely she didn’t think I would hurt her. But see, that doesn’t matter. It wasn’t a sign that she mistrusted me specifically; it’s a conditioned response. (Although if you keep doing it once you realize it scares her, she SHOULDN’T trust you.)
Not every woman has been physically harmed by a man she trusted, but every woman KNOWS a woman who has.
I used to be horrible about this, because I didn’t realize how intimidating it was. I didn’t understand why the woman I was with clammed up or tried to tell me what she thought I wanted to hear, and I only got angrier, and acted even more like an asshole. It was wrong. It was abusive. It didn’t matter if I INTENDED it that way; it was still emotionally abusive. And it was inexcusable.
I get that when passions are high, and when you’re frustrated, it’s a natural tendency to let your voice get louder, to shout and gesture and lean forward. But you can train yourself to do better. You can train yourself to keep more of an even tone, to refrain from large and fast gestures, to not lean into her personal space. I did. I’m not perfect at it yet, but goddamn it, I WILL be.
Don’t tell me it’s too hard, that you just can’t do it, or that you “shouldn’t have to.” I’m 53 years old and just now getting the hang of it, and if this old dog can learn something new, so can you.
Note to guys: It really, REALLY doesn’t matter if you’re thinking, “but I would never…”
History is littered with the bodies of women who believed a man “would never.” This includes women killed by men who honestly, deeply, truly believed they “would never”… right up until she said that one thing or moved in just that way and he just got so mad, just that once, and pushed her or punched her or slashed her or shot her… just once, y’know, to shut her up, or because she was flinching and didn’t she know that HE’S NOT LIKE THAT and I’LL TEACH HER TO BE AFRAID OF ME…
We are trained, from infancy, that Men With Loud Voices are a source of pain from which we cannot escape, and attempts to escape may result in more pain. And as soon as we’re old enough to comprehend a world broader than our immediate circle, a world that extends into the past and will run into the future, we realize that there is no way, no way at all, to tell which men “would never” and which men “would never… except if.”
We live or die on that “if.” And any man who doesn’t like facing that hyper-vigilance can work on fixing OTHER MEN, not women’s fear.
The reaction shouldn’t be “not all men are like that;” it should be “no woman should have to live in fear.”
It’s telling that so many people will hear a story of long-term abuse and say, “why did she stay with him?” and not “why did he treat her like that?”
This made me cry.
Don’t skip over this.
I’m a guy and when other guys raise their voices it freaks me the fuck out because my dad used to yell at me whenever I messed up and he and my mom used to fight a FUCK TON before they split and so whenever a guy starts yelling for ANY reason I blank and try not to cry
As a guy who learned to raise his voice to be heard, or suffer the fate of being completely ignored i was blind to how such actions were received by my partners. I am happy to say I no longer yell, but I am still a work in progress, as being a “hand talker” means subconscious gestures are still being ironed out. This behviour women fear, regardless of intent, must be quelled. The shame i feel for my past actions will stay with me forever. I am anti-violence, but never considered a raised voice as such, as it’s how my family “communicates” with each other (men and women alike). It is never too late to learn a better way. My hope is some young man will read this, and choose the softer path. Choose to be a better person.
Gandhi has been historically the most aggressive character in Civilization due to an original bug in the first game that caused him to go all-out once he reaches democracy. They just kept the thing going ever since.
To further explain this bug, because I was chatting with mothmonarch about Civilization and other strategy games last night and I never got around to explaining this fully, but I love this story:
Gandhi’s AI in the original game had its aggression set to the absolute minimum (0 on a scale of 0 to 10, I believe, I may have this wrong but the basic idea I’m about to explain is accurate, as far as I can tell). Adopting democracy lowers an AI civ’s aggression by 2 points, so when someone who is fully peaceful loses two points of aggression, they should still be nice and polite, right?
Except this is an old DOS game, and so computer math is in place. What actually happened was that Gandhi’s aggression level ticked backwards two steps, from 0 to 255. On a scale of 0 to 10, Gandhi is now 255 points of pure nuclear rage.
And that’s the story as I recall it, but again I may have gotten some details wrong, so feel free to correct me! After that, as the original poster said, the devs loved the bug so much that they just kept it in as a running joke!
“On a scale of 0 to 10, Gandhi is now 255 points of pure nuclear rage.”
When he spots her, McCree nearly trips over his own feet. He knew there was going to be some sort of Talon presence at this event, but he hadn’t been expecting to see Sombra, of all people.
It’s a happy coincidence, really. McCree isn’t alone; he’s here at this fancy big business party with a few others, carrying trays of hors d’oeuvres and champagne flutes in turns. Tracer is one of them, and he catches her eye as she hands off a glass to one of Vishkar’s top board members, letting her hand linger as it’s taken from her grasp.
McCree chuckles to himself; Lena really knows how to turn on the charm when it comes to beautiful-looking women.
thumbnail for the stand by me lyric video! this is a collab project I’ve been running for about 2 months with 44 amazing artists, and it’s very nearly completed, so keep an eye out! you can see previews posted by some of the artists in this twitter moment (x)
Messing with the tools in Clip Studio Pro. Sombra sketch as the subject 🙂

He looks too much like Jacob Frye for me to get too excited 😂 Plus, if they somehow made Matthew Mercer give the skin English accent voice lines, that’d be amazing.
Blizzard, pls give McCree an ‘And my rooks’ voiceline, omg, begging you
but yeah, still thirsty for some time-period Mcsombra AU, those are my favorite kind

sorry i havent posted art in few days!, i’ve had a discosting amount of art block, but i’m back on a roll! this is just a bit of a tease, while I do the rest of it ❤
I’ll do you one better and have the coral reef mers and deep sea mers not interact because deep sea mers tend to eat whatever brightly colored mermaid comes their way
Bioluminescent
McSombra. Mermaid!McCree. Mermaid!Sombra. Injury. Blood. First Meeting.
McCree has had bad days. Bad days where sand sticks to his fins and the current is tugging him the wrong way. Hungry shark-mers seem to also be lurking around every reef. The worst of fish nets are just waiting to ensnared him. Everything seems like a struggle on those kinds of days.
But this is the bottom of the ocean when it comes to reaching a low. McCree has always appeared like a bright red target with his vibrate tail and the left arm missing below his elbow. Easy prey, but he’s always managed to survive.
Two shark-mers follow his blood trail in the water with ease. The ambush had been sudden. McCree had narrowly missed a jaw of shark teeth in his neck, but couldn’t escape the bite on his lower tail. Red scales hang on with mere inches of flesh around the wide and deep wound. His own blood pollutes the blue ocean as he keeps low to the reef and makes sharp twists and turns.
But to no avail. Every chance he dares to look back, the predators are still hot on his trail. It’s a waiting game now. The blood is brushing against their gills. He and they both know he’ll lose too much blood, or simply become exhausted.
The sun has abandoned him, plunging what may be his last moments of life into a deep, dark blue. His eyes are slow to adjust, but he keeps swimming. The built up of pain and exhaustion begin weighing him down. His tail continues to flip quickly. A slow anchor to what will surely be his death.
He’s never been one for making things easy for others. If they want a meal out of him, he’ll make them earn it.
I’ve been thinking about Digimon Adventure lately. Tai and Matt reminded me of Izuku and Katsuki so I drew this crossover. I tried to draw them in the Digimon anime style. I used a screenshot from the anime for reference. It was fun to create the color schemes for Tai’s and Matt’s clothes for bakudeku version. 😊
I feel Appmon is very underrated, and
I kinda blame Tri for that.
(Combining with another Confession…)
I wish people would give Applimon a fair chance. I can see why some might not like it, and if I were to rank the seasons, for me, it would only be around the middle, but it is NOT bad! Give it a fair chance!
