"Soon, very soon, before you are an old man and an old woman, great nations in your world will be ruled by #tyrants who care no more for joy and #justice and #mercy than the Empress Jadis. Let your world beware. That is the warning.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #1)
The authenticity of mercifulness is ultimately revealed not through isolated acts that might serve an immediate purpose, but through consistent, genuine, & compassionate behavior towards all individuals, especially those who are most vulnerable
So far, the birthing pangs of whatever this is have been messy in terms of their effect on people. #oliphant#hachyderm#tusky and I am sure many others have found that #moderation and #governance are sticky, thorny functions where people are often made very unhappy, by decisions or by experiences or by the cost of these on relationships and communities.
It took 4 years 🥲
In 2019 I started this cosplay but when I was done I was so dissatisfied with how it looks so I put it in the corner frustrated 😕
4 years later I thought I had enough experience now to improve some parts 😊
And lo and behold, I am satisfied 🥰 Seeing the cosplay finished after such a long time makes me a little emotional 🥲💕
So that's your call! Don't give up and just try things again later! No master has fallen from the sky yet 💕
So also a big thanks to otr.photo for taking such amazing pictures of my heart project 💐

Character: Witch Mercy from Overwatch
“There are no boundaries within God’s mercy. There is no one outside God’s mercy, compassion, and loving kindness. This truth has the power to convert us, to change our lives. To be a neighbor is to show mercy to those in need, regardless of their race, religion, or country of origin.”
