Some said the priest avatar was inappropriate, misleading, or just plain creepy. Some said the priest simulated virtual sacraments — indeed, “Fr. Justin” gladly heard The Pillar’s, “confession,” before giving some spiritual guidance and reciting the words of absolution. And some said that an AI apologetics project leans too heavily into unreliable, controversial, and still-confusing technology.

Catholic Answers COO on 'Fr. Justin' AI pushback

#Swati #Nakshatra is a #star group linked to the Libra zodiac sign, which represents balance. It’s symbolized by a blade of grass swaying with the wind, showing that Swati individuals are adaptable. They usually go with the flow unless it’s about their independence.

This #constellation is connected to Lord #Hanuman, known as the ‘son of the wind’ in Indian mythology. #Saraswati, the #goddess of intelligence, also has influence here. People born under Swati enjoy educational trips and possess good intellect. They learn best when they have the freedom to explore, and this often leads them to pursue educational achievements Swati Nakshatra.

:: 46-062 [RO] Kei's Wedding ::

RO fan art~ From left: Thomas, Molly, Kei, Whispersio, Mef.
Here Kei gets married to the woman of his dream: an ordinary town girl with feminine qualities named Molly (a total wife material, to him).

Whispersio greets Molly, but she's somewhat frightened to react because Whispersio was initially one of the many monsters of the realm. So, Kei tried to tell her it's alright because Whispersio is Thomas' pet now. He's tame and won't punch anyone except Thomas.

This is a short scene in my RO fan fic, but it will not be shown in my doodly comic. I made their tuxedos have a hint of their job uniforms. Thomas' is the easiest (idk why priests never button their shirts, lol; oh, his bow tie is on Whispersio); Kei has a red bow tie (like the Sniper's red arm band); and Mef is wearing what rogues would wear... yeah they kinda 'fancy'... but some artists do be like that, right? But uh... Mef, your bow tie is a bit crooked...

:: 46-058 [RO] Break Time ::

Starting off 2024 with Ragnarök Online/RO fan art! I'm sorry if y'all bored of it but this is where my mind is mostly at. T_T This was actually completed before Christmas, but I pushed it back to make way for 'Christmassy' uploads, haha.

This is based on a scene in my fan fic. Here's Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop/AB and Kei the Sniper. Oh, that's Thomas' pet ghost in the middle, Whispersio. Sometimes he's up and about, sometimes he's asleep in his Little Ghost Coffin.

They are sitting after having done some training. Kei is making arrows to restock his quiver (he refuses to buy, preferring to make them himself) and Thomas is going to drink Holy Water as refreshment. And yes, Thomas' weapon is... a Wrench. It wasn't easy to get.

:: 46-051 [RO] Lazy Afternoon ::

Ragnarök Online fan art! I'm currently having no idea for my own OC story, so I do this. Drawing RO fan art is much easier because the world concept is already all laid out with complete visual refs, unlike my own stuff, lol.

They are characters from my RO fan fiction, but this scene doesn't exist in the story. I just wanted to draw this, so you can say this really came straight from the heart, haha~ And Kei is telling Thomas to be careful because he doesn't trust Shadow Chasers, but Thomas seems to be fond of Mef, trusting him.

Characters:
- Mef the Shadow Chaser (rogue class, agile and sneaky)
- Thomas Benedicta the Archbishop (cleric class, exorcist with basic prayers)
- Kei Jang the Sniper (archer class, makes his own arrows than buy 'em)
- unnamed character in the background, 'the GX' (assassin class, known for their poisons and swiftness)

I decided to use more of the smooth pen brush for this to make it easier on myself to refer to their colour palettes, particularly Thomas' strawberry blond hair. I already have some RO colour swatches saved, but not enough. And I'm aware that the blushing Mef looks too girlish here, lol.

#Swati (The #priest, the #sword) (186°40 to 200°00′ Libra)

Swati nakshatra is represented in the night sky by the single star of #Arcturus (Alpha-Bootis). This is the main star in the #constellation of #Bottis. In the #astrology chart, Swati resides entirely in the sign #Libra.
Swati translates as " #Independent one." The symbol of this nakshatra is a young #plant #blowing in the #wind, which represents flexibility and agility as well as restlessness. The ruling deity #Vayu, the God of wind, bestows a strong, yet gentle nature to this star. #Rahu is the planetary ruler and signifies hidden potential.
Those born under Swati nakshatra are humble and often need to be informed of their own potential for greatness. They have an openness to learn new information, but must also avoid indecision and procrastination. Those born under Swati are diplomatic and they use charm to navigate the world. These people have strong beliefs in social etiquette and try to fit into society. Swati can bring success later in life. The essence of Swati is balance and people born under this star take their time to act.

Sacred Energy Vortex
#Siththukkadu #Sri #Prsanna #Kundalambhigai #Samedha Sri #Thaanthreeswarar #Siva #Temple Sri #Sundararaja #Perumal Temple

The sacred site with most significance for Swati star is located at Sihthukkadu near Poondamalli in Tamil Nadu, India. This site connects the sacred shrines of Sri Thaanthreeswarar Siva Temple and Sri Sundararaja Perumal Temple. It is important for those born under Swati star to visit the sacred energy vortexes of Lord Shiva and Lord Maha #Vishnu at Siththukkaadu.

Swati nakshatra is a saintly word that consists of energy representing the oneness of Siva and Vishnu. Worshipping at both these temples on Swati star day, Monday or Dwadhasi (12th waxing moon phase) would bestow grace and significant benefic effects for the solidarity of the Saivites and Vaishnavites.

Sri Prasanna Kundhala ambhigai Samedha Sri Thaandhreeswara Siva Moorthy is also a sacred shrine bestowing grace of yoga jothi, an energy that personify in the shape of sound and light. Mixing both light and sound is known as Kundala Yogam and through this mixture, Kundala Jothi comes forth. On the Swati star day, at Siththukkaadu Siva temple aunqiue Kundala Jothi shines brightly. A small earthen lamp lit on Swati star day at this sacred shrine would bring Kundala Jothi energy for the whole world.

Kubera Moorthy worshipped at the sacred shrine situated at Siththukkaadu, the place of manifestation of abundance of wealth. He performed penance for thousands of years by standing on the toe of his right foot and worshiping with Nagalinga flowers to Kundhal ambhigai Samedha Sri Thaandhreeswarar. After performing abhishekham with the essence of Emblic Myrobalan fruit, he worshipped Lord Mahaa Vishnu in Sri Sundararaja Perumal Temple. Kubera Moorthy was granted the blessing to provide assistance in the form of immense wealth to those worshipping with great devotion at this sacred shrine.

Swati nakshatra contains the energy of absorbing, spreading and fulfilling the divine energy on the divine objects such as rudraksha beads, bells, and sacred thread. Siththukkaadu is one of the sacred shrines where this energy can be easily accessed. In addition to those born under Swati star, visiting this sacred temple can benefit those who are married without the blessings of their parents or family members as well as doctors and people in the medical professions.

Swati nakshatranatives, your #incense is made with the #herb #Jarul as prescribed by the Vedas.

Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.

Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.

:: 46-037 [RO] Recollection ::

My RO game character, Archbishop Thomas Benedicta, back when his faith was wavering.
I think this might be the last of Thomas you will see for now. ^^

When I expected good, then evil came;
When I waited for light, then darkness came.
My heart throbs, my strength fails me;
And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.
For I am afflicted and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me;
My heart is appalled within me.
—Job 30:26; and Psalms 38:10, 109:22, 143:4.

"...Better by far
It seemed to me
had the wolves
taken my life,
or had I been burnt
as a birchen tree."
—The Poetic Edda

I kinda wish the religious job/class in RO were more... Norse than Christianity. That would make them so perfect. Anyway, I tried to find some relevant quotes from Norse religious texts (instead of Bible) since the people of Midgard mostly worship Odin (if not Freja); but ehhh the Norse didn't exactly have a written holy scripture of anything. The Poetic Edda is the one legend, and that quote has the vibe, so I took it.

:: 46-036 [RO] Resting Peacefully ::

Ragnarök Online fan art featuring my character, Archbishop Thomas Benedicta and a Shadow Chaser, Mef. Had this idea since a couple of months back when my artist block hit me, and only recently could I draw it out.

In-game music: [Divine Grace (v2)]

Thomas has an obsession for two things: skulls and crosses. The former is liquidable asset, and the latter is for protection. He tells the members of the church that when he dies, please put him together with his pet ghost, Whispersio in a coffin (with Whispy being in his own little coffin inside the bigger one), and bury him with the big cross he hangs behind his room door. Skulls can be sold to cover the funeral costs.

"But first, let me test my coffin out," he tells the church. They let him and went about their ways. Thomas goes into the coffin, bringing his huge cross from his room door, and lies down inside. "Ah, feels just like my bed in the storage room," he mutters to himself. It was comfortable enough that he fell asleep.

A figure stealthily approaches, emerging from the shadows upon having caught up with his target. He squats by the coffin, his weapon unsheathed. 'To die in your sleep ought to be merciful enough,' he thinks to himself as he looks at the sleeping Archbishop. He is supposed to have been done with the disposal of his target, but instead finds himself enjoying the serene look on Thomas' face.

(Other notes: I could not fit in things like skull, Holy Water, and Whispy in the coffin due to chibi proportions. x'D And Thomas is, at present, my comfort character. :') The carpeting is taken directly from my own in-game screenshot.)

:: 46-034 [RO] Morning Reading ::

Ragnarök Online fan art featuring my Archbishop, Thomas Benedicta and his beloved pet ghost, Whispersio.

Thomas spends his morning reading while enjoying some Holy Water that he bottled himself from the nearby lake. He also gives Whispersio some pet food. Whispersio eats Damp Darkness; it looks like black smoke. After this, Thomas will put his stole on and he will go to do some training against desert wolves.

That's... pretty much his life now.

A #restaurant must pay workers $140,000 after allegedly hiring a #fake #priest to extract confessions of workers’ ‘sins

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/20/business/california-restaurant-fake-priest-fine/index.html

Garibaldi and three other restaurant owners and operators were ordered to pay $140,000 in back wages and damages to 35 employees. The restaurant will also have to pay $5,000 in civil penalties.

:: 46-014 [ROxTJH] Thomas and Vic ::

"Where did you say you were from again...?" Thomas asks Vic.

What if Vic stepped through a rogue portal (a sudden portal with random destinations) and ended up in Midgard (that of Ragnarök Online)? o_O And for the heck of it, he meets my RO priest, Thomas Benedicta! xD I bet you he'd be in the midst of making holy water.

Thomas wouldn't be too weirded out at first because Vic's outfit is like that of a Mechanic’s (alternate version), or if he has a gun with him, he’s a Gunslinger. In terms of tech, Midgard’s like the Nexus in its glory days, so it should not be too hard for Vic to adapt. Besides, portals are such a norm there.

Still, some things will definitely be weird for Vic, like a priest having a pet ghost. Whispersio waves hi at Vic, but if it punches Vic, that's true friendship!

Misc:
I'm trying out a new brush set, 'Chalks for Children'. It's quite fun. I also avoided using ruler/line tool for the window for more squiggly-ness, haha.
And if anyone wants to see, these are my RO characters: [link]
