The Hero's Wizard

All magic is deception,
all magic has a price,
and anything worth doing is worth sanctifying.

My friends, I could really use a boost in reach to let the wider #FinalFantasy fanbase know about my books. I’d be extremely grateful if you could share with your audience. Thank you so much!

If you’re visiting for a very large sporting event & you happen to discover RANCH while you’re here… pls pack it in your CHECKED BAG on the way home.

Thank you.

This quote from the Argentinian Ambassador to the United States is incredibly badass, and perfectly encapsulates the early vibes of this World Cup:

One week of bars being open past 1am and the people of Boston are acting like rural townspeople at the end of a film where a friendly outsider teaches us to live life to its fullest or overcome our differences, except instead of aliens or drag queens it’s 50,000 Scots

[BostonCommonSense @boston_sense]

MA / Boston must-watch. Will make your day. Trust me.

If you ever forget why so many of us stay here, fight hard to keep this place amazing.

Yesterday my dog, Fischer, died suddenly and unexpectedly. I’m still in shock, blindsided by it all. He was as central a member of my family as any person.

I’d like to tell you his story, briefly. 8 years ago, my 12-year old dog, Bandit, died after a long battle with kidney disease. A week later on a fishing trip, my brother encountered an abandoned, starving dog that swam out to his boat. When no owner could be found, I reluctantly took the dog in, and named him Fischer. I’m so glad I did. Along with his older sister, Daisy, he was my pandemic dog, my hiking buddy, and my left armrest while watching tv or gaming. He loved pawing at Red XIII (which we jokingly called him, the counterpart to my other dog, a Torgal lookalike), and he loved play fighting me while I tried to make my bed after he would crawl in it during the night. He loved playing fetch, and especially curling up against me for safety during storms. He was 90 pounds of rambunctious devotion. And God he loved me.

We unknowingly spent his final morning on a hike. He chased and ran and played like usual. It was a perfect last memory with him, doing what we loved doing together most. He was “a fine hound,” and one of my favorite blessings. We’re going to miss him so much, but are so thankful for his life.

That’s the thing about gratitude. It commingles with grief in such a way that both can breathe. And in that way, I guess I can breathe, too. At least, that’s what I’m trying to practice. Every gasp of sadness is met with an exhale of gratitude.

I know many of you loved seeing him on stream. The couch behind me may have a Red XIII-sized hole now, but I’ll always cherish the memories of us in that room. Maybe we’ll do a Fischer stream and talk about grief soon, but I’ll need a minute. Today though, I want to thank you all for loving him, and me, so well. Thanks, everyone, for your prayers and support as I breathe through this.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 WE DID IT!!!

[Peter A Smith @PeterAdamSmith]

The Tartan Army’s on a charm offensive and their American hosts are loving it.

But beyond beer & viral videos, there’s charity work. The Tartan Army is giving Hasbro Children’s Hospital the biggest single donation it’s ever received - money that will go towards treating cancer.

[Scottish Banter @1scottishbanter]

A city worker cleaning up after a Tartan Army party said around 2,000 fans had been drinking and having fun... but left the area so clean he didn't even need help tidying up.

Party hard. Bring the atmosphere. Make pals with the locals. Leave no mess behind 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just back from Boston and honestly what a place it is! A pleasure to be there to see Scotland play in the World Cup. The people of Boston have been excellent and so friendly too! That night in Fenway was simply brilliant as well! #Scotland  #WorldCup #TartanArmy

NEW VIDEO! You asked for it, so here it is. How the FF7 Revelation trailer draws a ton of visual language from the biblical Book of Revelation. https://t.co/U5h4uCxN26

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We are called to reread the Gospel in today’s world, exchanging the gifts of our respective cultures and the fruits that Christ's message has produced in them. One of these fruits is precisely the dialogue between peoples, the encounter in a spirit of fraternity, which enables us to discover and appreciate one another’s values. This path is not easy, but requires goodwill and God’s help. Yet, it is the path that leads to the civilization of love. #GeneralAudience

@ProfNoctis Weeeeeeeeeee!

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In this time, so harshly marked by the violence of war and social unrest, many people wonder what the world in which their grandchildren will grow up will be like. I urge you, dear #GrandparentsAndElderlyPeople, to join me in praying earnestly that peace may soon come to the whole world. https://t.co/D4RUdpXWB1

[The Hero's Wizard @RockStrEcclesia]

@ProfNoctis The premise struck me as being antiquated to the point of being trite. Granted, I'm sure the acting from this cast is wonderful, but do you think I would appreciate the film beyond that?
