Joy To The World, The Lord Is Come!

Joy to the World, the Lord is come!

Let earth receive her King;

Let every heart prepare Him room,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven and nature sing,

And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!

Let men their songs employ;

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Joy to the World, the Lord is come!

Since Christmas songs have yet been forbidden may I just take this time to say instead that the winter dies with a blast of icy wind and with a mournful cry it’s giving up the ghost again. Another sheet of snow melts away to gold and green. Look at Peter go, he’s racing to the tomb to see.

So for me, ooooooh is rhymes-with-shoe, ohhhhh is rhymes-with-show.

Survey: when you read “ooooooh”, does it sound like a drawn out ooh-rhymes-with-shoe or a drawn out oh-rhymes-with-show?

Do you have a favorite "Chase smiling at Omi" moment specifically from your latest gif set? One of the ones from part 3/? ?

OH you specifically wanted me to pick one from my new gif set! Sorry for the misunderstanding! In that case,

Losing your nerve, little one?

This one, hands down!

It's the smile he gives after Omi almost slips on the stalagmite, but manages to right himself.

Chase doesn't want the other monks to catch on that Chase has been trying to... recruit Omi, and the whole point of this showdown was to give Omi plausible deniability so they wouldn't realize how close Omi and Chase were getting. So he's very much trying to put on a show like he's just an enemy taunting an opponent.

But this smile is so plainly, smugly proud of Omi for pulling off that recovery. He's so happy that his eyes are even crinkled. He has to just pause for a moment and smile at Omi before he actually remembers to taunt him. And even while he's getting out the taunt, his smile is still so big and playful, he's having so much fun with this that he can't even try to hide it. Even the taunt itself is just goading instead of insulting.

With how little Chase hid how much he liked Omi, it's amazing they were able to pull off this little distraction at all.

Omi makes Chase smile so much that the only thing holding back my “Chase Young +  Smiling At Omi (part 1/?)” gif series is that I’m slow and it’s tedious. I have so much material of these two just making each other happy.

Elves:

Not an elf, in the beginning they're too murdery or outright genocidal if I recall correctly.

Also they ate dwarves before they realized that dwarves were people too.

And then later on they're too staid for my tastes.

Overall = wise guys with an overly dramatic history and not enough babies

Dwarves:

While understandable given their ghastly history with the elves, they're too insular.

Not enough babies

Humans:

I'm already human. If I'm gonna be in middle earth I'd wanna be —

Hobbits:

A hobbit!

Ideal type of community to live in.

Plenty of babies

no, i don’t care about your mbti type or astronomical sign. tell me if you would be a hobbit, elf, dwarf or man, if you lived in middle earth.

good morning ->-) -3
