Christian scientist character who’s asked why he believes in God and says ‘I believe in what I can see’ and then gives an alphabetized list of all the miracles he’s seen

“And then there was the time that my sister’s husband’s cancer just Stopped Being There for no reason.”

“…”

“Oh, and this one isn’t on The List, but I like it. Once I had no food and prayed about it for an hour, then my neighbor who hates me showed up and invited me to his potluck because, and I quote, ‘I just decided it was time to start mending bridges, today, about an hour ago.’ I asked why it took him so long to come over and he said he was just working up the courage. We still email each other to this day. Last week he threw a potato salad potluck.”

“Are you done?”

“No, we’re still in C. So, this one time, my cousin-”

It occurs to me that there are people who weren’t on this website in 2012 and therefore never saw the magical gif that you can actually hear:

It’s been over five years and that still impresses the hell out of me.

Headcanons about Elflings

  • they're tiny when they are born, and for the first year, until they learn to walk steadily on their little legs, they stay very close to their parents, though as soon as they learn to somehow move around, even if they're just barely crawling, they will climb up their parents' robes and chill in whatever places they feel comfortable, and it's literally sometimes a mystery how they actually got there. You might find your elfling tucked into your belt, sitting in your hood, even braided into your hair. As long as they can see, they're happy.
  • When they can walk and run, their natural curiosity fully takes over, and they will spend days and nights on end exploring and they never seem to tire out. While the first year is a very peaceful time for parents, their peace of mind ends then. Not only is it very exhausting chasing their tiny elflings down (who still get into the most impossible hiding places), but not even when they take turns sleeping do they get enough rest. Fortunately, elflings are very sturdy little creatures, and at this phase it's as good as impossible for them to get hurt in any way, since they're so small and light and soft.
  • I already wrote this in my Thranduil HC post but because elflings are so independent, they're essentially raised by the entire group of elves that live together - everyone keeps an eye on everyone's elflings. Also, since elflings are most curious when they're happy and healthy, their venturing and exploring is seen as a sign of good fortune for their entire realm.
  • They mature very slowly - i know this one deviates from canon, but to me it just makes more sense that an immortal soul would take longer to mature than a hundred or two hundred years. Aka 3000 year old Legolas is a teenager during LOTR. Like, they'll obviously know more and be more skilled than a human/dwarf/etc at their stage of maturity, because they have considerably more time to learn, but just because they look grown up doesn't mean they are.
  • Other than explore, baby elflings also like to be sung to and to try to sing with their parents, to make beautiful things out of any materials they like, and they don't care if it's leaves or gemstones, to run and dance with their peers, and to hear and tell stories, anything that allows them to be active and social and creative. Sometimes, depending on the elfling, that creativity can turn into a tendency to make up the most outrageous of stories. Always listen to elflings when they tell you things, and act like you believe them, but never actually believe them. Fortunately, this phase eventually passes on its own.
  • In terms of looks, they're born with fabulous hair. Obviously it's gonna be finer than adult hair, but they are born with shiny mops of chin-length, silken hair that's only a little bit lighter than the colour it's going to be when they get older. Their parents, overcome with adoration for their cute offspring, will dress them in funny little outfits that have themes, like leaves and flowers. ALSO UNTIL THEY'RE AT LIKE PRETEEN AGE THEIR EARS DON'T STAND UP YET SO THEY KINDA FLOP DOWN LIKE PUPPY EARS AND THAT'S ADORABLE.

What advice do you have for a 14 year old girl?

This is so vague I love it. The voices you are hearing are real, god is speaking to you. The nation of France needs you. Don your armor, take up arms, lead the French army. This is your destiny, joan. When the flames come for you let them lick your bones and laugh.
