Seeing the “if you care about (fiction) enough to feel a real emotions over it you’re mentally ill” take a lot on my dash lately so here’s a lil reminder.

“imagine caring so much about fiction” imagine being so lame that you scoff at the timeless human practice of falling in love with art and stories

#so sick of “if you get sad about show you need psychiatric help #or maybe you just need to be sad for a second because that’s okay and good? #Cry over books television movies etc #it’s literally what it’s for

My little Evangelical raised brain wondered who had gotten this joke. It made me crack a smile.

Why didn't anyone tell me this is a play on a bible quote? First time I regret being raised by atheists.

Can't believe some gay ass show got me reading the bible.

I was hoping someone would do this

how was the eclipse : (

Do you know what happens to ducks when you feed them bread?

They develop a syndrome called angel wing. Their feathers stick out, and they’re unable to fly away from predators.

If anyone super special and nice wanted to reblog this post with that one clip of musical Crowley on his knees pouring Aziraphale a drink. It literally lives rent free in my mind every day.

This omg I’m so flabbergasted when I see people saying Aziraphale doesn’t respect his boundaries and shit—

This is how I am with the people I’m closest to. I whine and bitch and I don’t expect anything to actually change because we, people who are close, know when one is being serious and when they’re just being a hater for the fun of it. I might grumble about a song my best friend puts on in the car, but that doesn’t mean I’m mad when she doesn’t change it (or even that I actually want her to). Sometimes, complaining is just a social behavior, and it really isn’t that deep.

Thinking about that video of David and Michael describing Crowley and Aziraphale's date night. Aziraphale doing all the things he loves and Crowley complaining the whole night and the two of them "having just the best time". And also thinking about how folks feel uncomfortable with how Aziraphale pushed to take the Bentley even when Crowley complained and then made changes to her and Crowley insisted on changing it back.

Crowley complains not because anything is really wrong but because he feels comfortable enough to do so. (When something's really wrong, he takes action.)

You know what "asking too many damn fool questions" is really? Complaining that things aren't being done properly.

Aziraphale creates a safe space for Crowley to whinge and whine and grumble and growl and roll his eyes and sigh heavily and demand his own way and have someone hear his complaints and not throw him out. And Crowley understands that when Aziraphale does something over the top, he is allowed to complain. And in the end they will find a compromise place where Crowley is comfortable with what's happening but he can still whine and Aziraphale can do the things he loves with Crowley's support (even when it sounds grudging). That's their whole, 6000+ year relationship.

Aziraphale did change the Bentley, but not back. Not all the way. She's a new Bentley from then on. She's their car now, and we don't hear a peep from Crowley about it.

They mirrored the Job story

I don’t know if this has been said yet, but during the Job episode I was extremely preoccupied with the “sounds lonely” arc, preoccupied with Aziraphale changing, but I noticed something else.

There is something about that scene in the villa, where Aziraphale asks Crowley not to destroy Job’s children. Now, we know Crowley never had any plans to do this, so why would he lie to Aziraphale instead of just admitting it? Does he actually want to seem that demonic to him, does he want him to think he’s evil?

I don’t think so. At least, that isn’t the way I interpreted it.

I think Crowley was testing Aziraphale’s faith in him. He looks him in the eyes, he tells him he’s going to go through with it, and he watches his reaction. Aziraphale is on the verge of tears when he walks away, and when Crowley goes the opposite direction, you can see he looks a little disappointed.

Then Aziraphale finds out he didn’t kill the goats. And like that, his faith in him is restored.

So what does Crowley do? Just like God with Job, he escalates. He raises the stakes.

Next time, it’s the fire. The “are you sure, angel?” gets me every single time. He is looking Aziraphale in the eyes and asking for his faith, and Aziraphale looks back at him and this time, he gives it resolutely, firmly. Quite sure. And after that, Crowley doesn’t test him again.

It’s just so interesting to think about the state of their relationship at this point—the fact that Crowley is, relative to the rest of their existence, newly fallen. They’re treading this new ground, and Crowley doesn’t know where he stands in Aziraphale’s eyes. So in his own weird, definitely-not-trauma-fueled way, he decided to find out.

Y’all ever think about how Aziraphale could have taken the train. How he probably does love doing that and there was no actual, practical reason that he needed to take the car instead. How that was a deliberate move by him to say ‘we can share everything’. You ever think about that.

One thing that TV PJO highlighted so well and something that made me so emotional was the connection between being neurodivergent/disabled in general and feeling out of place in the world. When Percy said he feels like “there’s a piece missing”, something about him no one can relate to, something “really wrong” “broken”. I know those words (or very similar) came out of my mouth around the same age.

And of course, it turns out he’s a demigod—but remember, Rick wrote this story FOR his son with ADHD/dyslexia. The Percy Jackson character was created to be a hero for him. It is INTEGRAL to the Percy Jackson universe that every demigod has ADHD/dyslexia. Not “oh they thought it was ADHD but really it was my demigod powers” but “all demigods are ADHD”. That part of him that feels disconnected with other people isn’t just because he’s a demigod, obviously. Remember, this is a kid who was bullied everywhere he went. He didn’t have any real friends until Grover.

Until someone else unique like him showed up. Which brings me to the next (and my most favorite) part of this arc: the difference between Percy at school and Percy at camp.

When Percy is with other demigods, he’s sociable. He’s comfortable. It’s a complete contrast to how we see him portrayed at school in the first episode, ostracized and feeling completely alone. Then there’s that first time he meets Luke, that suspicion that’s ingrained into him, that melts away when he realizes these are his people. And they made a point to really show this when he prays to his mom, showing how much that change meant to him.

And gods, isn’t that just every neurodivergent kids dream? To go somewhere there’s people like you, people who understand, who get it, who won’t judge you for things other people will. Seeing that was almost like being able to go back in time and comfort that little girl I was who didn’t think there was anyone else like her.

MORE ACKNOWLEDGING PERCY AS AN UNRELIABLE NARRATOR! HIS ASS LIES!!!

I seen a lot of people argue at Percy is too smart in the show but One, Sally Jackson used Greek myths as bedtime stories, she took him to museums, she did her best to teach him about the God's and monster's that were gonna come to hurt him, was he ment to not learn anything? And Two, Perseus Jackson isn't an idiot! The books are from HIS point of view and he's is an unreliable narrator that THINKS he's an idiot. He's not ACTUALLY an idiot.

I like that Gabriel was given an American accent. He’s kind of representative of capitalism in a way, he’s that pushy bad-boss CEO who doesn’t care about (or know how to care about) his workers. Obviously that’s not a uniquely American concept, but I feel like it gives Heaven even more of that Corporate feel. Idk.

On behalf of my sister who's terrified of sending asks, why is Gabriel the only angel with an American accent?

Because Gabriel was played by Jon Hamm, who has an American accent.

I love how Percy and Annabeth are ADHD in such similar but extremely different ways. Like, yes, they share a lot of the same traits because of their ADHD, but how they manage it is completely opposite. Percy doesn’t plan. He hopes for the best. He’s restless and anxious and hates uncertainty but he does not plan (mostly because he knows it’s useless with the gods anyway).

Then there’s Annabeth. She tries to control every aspect of her life down to the detail. She grinds her ass off academically in an attempt to ‘make up’ for her dyslexia and ADHD. She plans everything ahead, she wants to make a career out of making plans. It gives her the illusion of stability. So where Percy understands that he can’t totally control what happens to him, Annabeth’s need to try to control what happens to them consumes her life. She’s always one step ahead, because that’s how she survives. Percy survives off faith, she survives off planning.

This is the exact reason the TV adaptation cannot be word for word the book. There are things happening in Percy’s head that we WOULDNT be privy to if he wasn’t narrating. They need to show, because they CANT tell.

That writers room must’ve treated the Last Olympian as some sort of bible because they truly Get the idea that Percy does not like the gods. that he does what he does in spite of his opinion. They make sure that the audience knows that Percy doesn’t find this fair and that he doesn’t like this. That he and Luke are more similar then they expect.

Book Omens in a nutshell

really i think one of my favorite character dynamics is “i don’t actually like you but we’ve been through so much together that i’d trust you with my life and know that we will always back each others calls. but i still wouldn’t trust you with my car keys.” like “we aren’t really friends but we’ve been thrust into an intense situation where you are the only other person i know so now we’re besties.” and “if it weren’t for our years of history i would have literally nothing to talk to you about at this work dinner.” Enemies to lovers has NOTHING on general disinterest to begrudging acknowledgment to discovering that this person is now an inextricable part of your life

love this

David Tennant's performance as Crowley is such a fascinating mix of intense and languid. He's often so focused, so intent, that he's practically brittle, electric with purpose as his careens through the city in the Bentley or races to avert disaster. Those fiery eyes, that clenched jaw. But in almost equal measure, he slouches and saunters, projecting such indifference that you start to wonder if the production crew had to pour him into that chair, that's how fluid he feels.

My favorite part of this is that we see the exact same two opposing qualities from him in the before-the-Beginning flashback, but as an angel, both look completely different on him. The intense side is pure joy and love, his enormous toothy grin as he ignites stars and elation radiates from him in waves. Meanwhile, the languid side is his relaxed unconcern, cheerfully shrugging off Aziraphale's worries as he considers questioning God's plan and "putting a note in the suggestion box." I love that flashback anyway, but when I noticed how Crowley's usual contradictions were filtered through an angelic lens, I could've eaten the whole scene up with a spoon.
