This is legit killing me this morning.

I can't anymore with you people

WHO DID THIS???

#Your honor they were driving ON THEIR OWN SIDE #It'll go to London just the same #A (tour) group of the two of (b)us #None of these come close to OP's work #But I can not stop #But can it go 90 miles per hour in Central London?

Just a gentle reminder

For the love of anything that you hold holy, do not buy any plants today.

#eclipse2024 #eclipse #solar eclipse #don't buy any plants #and if you do buy any #DO NOT FEED THEM #I am looking at you Seymore #And all you Seymore wannabes #Please the world is going through enough right now

Backpfeifengesicht! It literally means "a face that’s badly in need of a fist" and it is the word that has convinced me that German may be the most useful language out there. I mean, sure, we already knew "schadenfreude" (which is much prettier sounding and also extremely useful), but "backpfeifengesicht" describes a face that literally every person has encountered (probably recently). Okay, so wait wait wait. I was just looking up backpfeifengesicht to make sure that I was spelling it right and I discovered ANOTHER German word that has maybe made my life? Apparently, if someone in Germany is a sourpuss that is spreading grouchy, bad vibes, they are called a "stinkstiefel," which means STINKY BOOT. I... I don't regret taking Spanish back in school, y'all, but I do sort of mourn not learning German now...

Quick ! Think of a word you like ! 

Not necessarily your favorite word, it doesn’t even have to be a word you usually like ! Just a word that right now, at this moment, you look at and think “ooh what about this one”.

It can be a word you find funny, pretty, strange, scary, anything really ! You don’t need to tell me why you choose that word (though I’d love to know if you want to tell me), just give me a word ! 

(It’d be lovely if we made this into a chain but there’s no pressure <3)

uhhhhh sanguine? (literally the only word that popped up into my head rn but it’s prettyyy and sounds like summer to me in some inexplicable way 😌✨)

oh sure!

Honestly, Neil, it just sounds like you're suffering from a poorly fitting cape. You'll almost never find one off the rack that's exactly the right length, you have to have a tailor take that baby up for you if you don't have the patience to shorten it yourself.

Hello Mr Gaiman!

I just have one question for you.

What is your opinion on capes?

I think they are necessary when flying but too easy to trip over when you land.

I am legitimately so confused that lovingly using an item the way it's intended to be used with the result being that the item looks like it sees regular use would cause pearl clutching. Like, it isn't in my budget but I would legitimately give up an arm for some Le Crueset (well, SOMEONE'S arm, anyway), and I GUARANTEE YOU it would look like I used it constantly because I would USE IT CONSTANTLY. Lawd.

hey besties there’s drama in the Le Crueset subreddit tonight

#why do they even have any Le Crueset if they aren't using it #because no way are they using it if they've never encountered SIGNS OF USE before #or do they have scullery maids to scrub their cookware for a set number of hours per day after they polish the silverware and dust the mone #I swear #the good stuff is wasted on the people who can afford it #I don't want to eat the rich per se but I want to raid their freaking kitchen cabinets for sure

[redmenacelives]

What.

So, who was gonna tell me that ‘No Nightingales’ is a book about two ghosts preventing a war from happening, then being in a love-hate relationship and not talking to each other for 66 years in a house on Berkeley Square??

I WOULD GIVE MY RIGHT ARM.

Or somebody's right arm, at least...

Reblog if, no matter the size of the role, you would agree to work with the Muppets if offered the chance to do so, no questions asked

This. Just… all of this.

I agree with the general consensus that there are definite differences between the book boys and the show boys as regards ineffable husbands, but to me they are exactly the same people in different circumstances  They are differentiated not by personalities, but by an intrinsic shift in their lives: the relationship they have with heaven and hell.  If you took book boys and had them live in the tv world from day one, tv boys are exactly who they would be, and vice versa.

It’s clear in the book that Heaven pays very little attention to Aziraphale.  He shows almost no concern about pissing heaven off beyond his desire to believe that heaven is good and therefore right - at least on the surface (”I have to do what I’m told!” he complains as he gets drunk with a demon yet again while hiding among his hoard in the back of a bookshop that has nothing to do with being an angel).  It’s more lip service than a deep belief, given how much time he spends hanging around with an openly building a friendship with a demon and how little time he appears to spend in the modern day actually doing his job.  In fact, the only interaction Aziraphale has with another angel in the book is Metatron, and that takes a lot of work.  No angels just pop in on him. Left to his own devices, Aziraphale has settled comfortably into who he is: soft, trying very hard to be and appear kind, but also a hoarder and a bit of a bitch.  He’s developed interests that are in no way associated with doing angelic work, and he enjoys and luxuriates in them guilt-free.

Book!Hell, meanwhile, is less predictable.  Sure, Crowley is mostly left to his own devices, but he also puts more emphasis on having a job to do, filing paperwork, an implication of meeting quotas.  You get a sense that, even if he’s not particularly respected by the average demon, he is of enough interest to keep an eye on, and that eye has definite expectations.  He deals with this by doing his job to a level of acceptability, but not to a level of genius that will bring notice he doesn’t want.  He’s smart, he’s cagey, he’d good at his job; he’s also jumpy from being surveilled, a bit at odds with his job (low level mayhem and clever schemes clearly amuse him, but he doesn’t want to be capital E Evil and that’s what he’s really MEANT to be, isn’t it?).  So you get this wonderful mishmash of who Crowley is and the human he pretends to be, much less settled in himself, but perfectly content with the fact that his best friend is a bitchy angel.  He’s curious and experimental in his own way. 

But TV!Heaven and Hell are completely different.  They watch.  They pay attention.  They threaten, they punish.  Where the book boys have been left more to their own devices, the tv boys live in constant fear.  This is especially true of Aziraphale; while I don’t personally see evidence that he is afraid of Falling, he is definitely afraid of being punished, and bullied, and of being wrong.  If he does exactly as heaven tells him (something Book Az appears to have wriggled out of by being ignored) and what they tell him is wrong, then he is a Bad Person.  And no Aziraphale wants to be a Bad Person.  TV Az does the same thing his book self does: creates a soft and approachable appearance.  But unlike book Az, TV Az always has to counter this with pretending to hate Crowley, with toeing the line, with living a secret, with constantly doubting himself, with bosses who are distressingly unpredictable but most definitely present.  Sure, he’s still a bitch deep down, but he isn’t FREE to show that.  And, in addition to that, it is VERY clear that he is in constant fear of what Hell will do to Crowley.  More than once, the fear he says aloud isn’t about him falling or even heaven’s punishments (they send strongly worded letters, after all, not death), it’s about the fact that hell will destroy Crowley.  And if his one friend is found out and punished with actual death, it will be his fault.  So he denies his feelings for what he sees as Crowley’s sake (and yes, out of fear for himself as well).

No wonder he’s a bit neurotic, anxious, etc.  Book!Az has found a place in the world that is quiet and has routine and is under his full control.  TV!Az doesn’t have that.

TV Crowley also has hell on his ass but, hey, he is GOOD at his job.  Someone clearly appreciates his work, since he delivers the antichrist.  He’s nervous about hell, yes, enough to ask for Holy Water from his best friend/love interest, but while Aziraphale deals with increased scrutiny by closing in on himself, Crowley deals with it by acting out.  Book Crowley is more cagey because he has more freedom to protect; Crowley puts on the act of the Really Damn Good Demon because it keeps him safe.  He sends memos about his genius.  He takes credit for things that disgust him.  But he’s also more aggressively himself: experimental with gender concepts’???/, not limited to human ideas (Book Crowley wants to appear to be a certain kind of human to fly under the radar; TV Crowley is aggressively himself to be untouchable), he likes black and his Bentley and screaming at his plants (though it is a darker sort of screaming, out of fear, and being kept at arm’s length, and being bad in the eyes of the being he loves), and big productions that create low level evil at a very wide level.

But while Crowley is acting out to make himself safe, Aziraphale keeps Crowley safe by closing in, and that’s what leads to the frustration and pining book boys don’t have to deal with.  Aziraphale has to say Crowley is bad, and Crowley lies, and Crowley is a demon, because if Hell (or Heaven, who would certainly tattle) found out they are friends, Crowley would be destroyed and Az would be punished.  But Crowley hears this, and he thinks, sometimes, that Aziraphale believes it, and where is the line between Crowley and The Demon Crowley?  Why can’t Aziraphale see it?

Book Boys have more freedom to be friends without constant fear, and so their friendship is a settled, old married sort of thing.  When they figure things out, it’s a realization, not a terror.

TV Boys are in constant danger, under scrutiny from uncaring bosses, and their friendship is literally the most dangerous thing in their lives (and yet they continue, because they Know, and they can’t give it up, and they are much more defiant and brave than they believe).  So when they figure things out, it’s terrifying, until their circumstances change, and they have freedom to be and find themselves. 

#no lies detected #it’s truuuuuuuuue #And now I have to go read Good Omens again

Random Good Omens Season 3 thought…

Hey, what if Benedict Cumberbatch narrates Season 3 as Satan? Wouldn’t that be a hoot?

how are you feeling today

Okay, but honestly, the fact is that girls aren't allowed to be "immature" the way boys are growing up. How about just holding all kids to the same behavioral standards??? Maybe if boys didn't get a pass on immaturity, or girls were allowed to be loud and silly there wouldn't be such a stark double standard as they grow up.

Okay, but seriously, what kind of person could ever be unhappy about Debbie Harry popping up on their dash? It’s DEBBIE. HARRY.

What is your creepy obsession with T&A pics and Debbie Harry? Honestly getting sick of you.

Oh.
