There are 3 brands of character songs, any song you associate with a character will fit one or more of these categories:
1. The lyrics fit
2. The song just carries those Character Vibes, often times inexplicably, regardless of lyrics
3. You really liked that song at the same time you liked the character
These are the facts
@terrasunshine and I wrote a collaborative devotional together! This was 100% her lovely idea, and I’m so happy we got to do this together. Here it is!! (You all should go and give Terra love for this, because she’s so talented.)
O, Hephaestus, You borne in the flame of a forge, did you gift an artist their hands?
Hands that are so gentle, so soft, that a touch is as light as air?
Splattered in a thousand colors, nimble, an artist’s hands are their tools.
With these most precious tools, they create beauty which brings mortals to tears.
A gift from You, dear Hephaestus, built from bone and iron, to gift their creations to You, in Your glorious name.
With You as Teacher and Guide, they find their hands in motion, constantly moving and creating.
Through this motion they find peace; through the peace they find beauty. And they gift it all to You.
Dipped and dyed, poked and callused, each piece a prayer of praise.
Even mistakes hold beauty, for each ink spill or dropped stitch brings understanding and character to the artist’s creation.
Even unfinished works hold devotion, for even in abandonment can beauty be found.
O, Hephaestus, we as artists thank You for this divine and heavenly gift.
Each work we make will sing Your praise forever.
HELL TO THE YES I would

“I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as though they were divine oracles - and he always fixed my car. Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man devised questions for an intelligence test. Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or, indeed, almost anyone but an academician. By every one of those tests, I’d prove myself a moron, and I’d be a moron, too. In a world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something intricate or hard, working with my hands, I would do poorly. My intelligence, then, is not absolute but is a function of the society I live in and of the fact that a small subsection of that society has managed to foist itself on the rest as an arbiter of such matters. Consider my auto-repair man, again. He had a habit of telling me jokes whenever he saw me. One time he raised his head from under the automobile hood to say: “Doc, a deaf-and-mute guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him nails. He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?” Indulgently, I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers. Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed raucously and said, “Why, you dumb jerk, He used his voice and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, “I’ve been trying that on all my customers today.” “Did you catch many?” I asked. “Quite a few,” he said, “but I knew for sure I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you’re so goddamned educated, doc, I knew you couldn’t be very smart.””

You know, I just had a very interesting meditation. I was trying to get to my responsibilities by making nice with a certain angel, but he refused to come talk to me. Said that I needed a change of heart first, basically. So I decided to talk to myself. Something I don’t do as often as I probably should. And I taught myself a lesson. If you’re like me, and don’t even know what you are, who you are, or what your purpose is, then think about this. Why worry about those things when you need to just be yourself. Stop worrying if you have a greater purpose, that will come to you when it’s time. Stop worrying about who or what you are, just be who you wanna be and live the life you want to live. If you have responsibilities like I do, don’t view them as a chore, view them as a chance to make the world a better place. No matter how small it may be. Learning who and what you are is a life long process, and even if you already know, it’ll take that lifetime to fully understand it and why. Your journey is your own, make it what you want it to be. Love yourself, quirks and all. And be yourself, because in the end the only persons happiness that matters most is your own. It’s not about what you are, it’s about who you are and wanna be.
