It's time for the fandom to start Looking Where the Furniture Isn't

For a bit of background, one of my irl professional responsibilities is to identify and avoid making undue assumptions. There are a LOT of things that we humans assume. We assume that terminology means the same to other people as it does to us. We assume everyone has the same context of a situation we do. We assume that we aren't missing any information.

We operate on the information we have.

There was an ask before season 2 aired asking whether many of the plot points had been revealed by the clips (which almost all took place during the first half of the first episode). Neil's response was something like "oh you sweet summer children you know nothing yet." And boy was he right.

Neil Gaiman is a master of controlling assumptions. Just look at his Tumblr askbox replies.

Here's a few s2 examples of assumptions we all made (as I'm starting a rewatch):

Why did Crowley do the (very fun and distracting) apology dance? You might say it was because he walked out on Jim, but he never specified, did he? And Aziraphale was surprised that he proposed they would hide him "together"

How did Shax get a rumor about something going down in the Up (presumably) before Gabriel even went downstairs?

Did Jim need to bring Aziraphale something other than the box? He never actually specifies; Aziraphale just assumes it's the box.

Why did Aziraphale assume Maggie could feel [Michael, Uriel, Saraquael] arriving?

Why does Aziraphale say Heaven would notice even a small miracle? Crowley is seen doing a miracle before their large miracle (traffic light), and later Aziraphale makes the guy leave the table at the pub

To go deeper:

Are we assuming that characters are telling the truth? Example: "Miracles don't work like that," "[Extreme sanctions] was just something we said to frighten the cherubs" etc.

Are we assuming that nothing of note happened between apocalypse v1 and s2? (ex. the claims that Crowley didn't tell Aziraphale about the trial in heaven despite him referencing it in s2s1) What if we the audience are just jumping in near the end of this story?

Are these assumptions correct? Or are we just working with the information that we have?

Now that I'm looking for it, there's also SO many corrections of assumptions (usually for the sake of a joke, but still) (these are just the ones that happen while I type them out while watching e2):

"Can I be a blue one?" "You haven't annoyed me yet" "But can I be?"

"You recognized [Michael, Uriel, Saraquael] those people who were in the shop just now?" "Of course, they were in the shop, just now!"

"oh my god!" "blasphemy, angel, that's not like you", "no, oh, my god"

Many of the themes were about hiding things in plain sight: the kids (and kids), Jim, "aim for my mouth but shoot past my ear." Clue (1985) was heavily referenced in the lead-up. The whole point of that film was looking at what was going on elsewhere. Looking where the furniture isn't, you might say.

The more I watch s2, the less certain I am that any of it makes sense on its own.

I'm currently combing through it to see if there are any discrepancies with where people are (easiest example is when Crowley just disappears from the bookshop while they're reviewing the Job story). It'll be a lot of data and might not lead anywhere, but I'll definitely share once I finish looking into it.

I will also honestly admit that these things are all circumstantial, and I could be going insane. But they just keep cropping up all over the place. I've got a lot of time before S3 comes up and I intend to investigate the furniture. And try to not make assumptions.

If I had a nickel for everytime I shipped a stoic, emotionally cold warrior who makes beautiful vows and a redhead with a tragic past with treachery to her name I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.

the key to writing efficiently is pretending it's fanfiction 100% of the time.

The significance of Coryo throwing away his mother's rose powder at the end of tbosbas is not lost on me.

Throughout the whole novel we see Coryo have opportunities to choose to be good, to be selfless and to be more like his mother. And time and time again he chooses power, he chooses the option that will further him and just him in life. He chooses, slowly, to become more like his father.

Yes the powder was ruined after the water but keep in mind he couldn't even get rid of it when he was giving the compact to Lucy for the games. Coryo in the beginning of this journey never would have gotten rid of it- it brought him too much comfort. A mother's comfort.

The rose powder represented the last bit of good, of empathetic reason, that Coryo had- and he threw it in the trash. Hence the change of being referred to as Snow instead of Coriolanus in the epilogue.

He really had became a version of his father in the end.

Also, another conversation for another post, but Coryo believed all the choices he was making were good or at the very least necessary.

People are headcanoning Sephiroth as illiterate now. As in. The fucking reason he took so long in that basement was because he had to finger-read every single fucking book.

I'm putting Sheltered Sephiroth on the top shelf until you goons stop veering into outright ableism. For fuck's sake.

#scrawny rambles #ffvii #sephiroth #these people confuse vulnerability with infantilisation so much #it's driving me insane #this has been happening for years but it's hit a peak #i GET wanting to knock seph off his pedestal and make him human like the rest of us #especially after the Sexy Leather Daddy who Does Everything Flawlessly era #but like. This is downright ableist. They didn't say he had dyslexia they said he was *illiterate* #quick question Why the Fuck would ShinRa neglect their top soldier to this degree #reading is VITAL in systems like these you think Sephiroth ISN'T sifting through piles of paperwork on the reg??? #of all the characters to pick this has gotta be one of the worst #i've seen people make similar shitty claims about zack's education #(who is btw another vector for just. Stunning fanon ableism what the fuck) #but in that case even if it were *initially* true #ShinRa would almost certainly have funded the rest #there's a sliding scale of literacy but you NEED at least some to work in fucking *ShinRa* #curse be upon you cris for dropping this on my doorstep 😭😭 #this fandom loves confusing vulnerability with infantilisation. most do but again. What the Fuck. #disk horse #fandom wank

found Jack's masterchef groovy on the wikia... and well, just let me have this moment (put on spoilers in case yall want to wait for a bit)

HE LOOKS SO STRESSED MY POOR BOY the ghost is being supportive and cheering on him that's so cuteee

it took me a while to see the broken macarons at the side, so I was like "oh, he's very concentrated" NO HE'S CONCENTRATED SO THERE WILL BE NO MORE PASTRY MURDERS

I would receive all broken and intact macarons however they came to be, dear <3 this is another "masterchef card struggle" but at least, he's here in my virtual arms and I love him <3

now~ on the hunt for the personal story of this card~

plus his normal card but this one is a legit 1980x1080 so at least we can see Jack smiling (before the macarons)

#twisted wonderland #jack howl #jack and malleus be like #the struggle to contain our natural strength is real #well the macarons are put together... at least #malleus literally was putting eggs out of their misery & out of this existence back then #also i'm so frustrated #i keep spelling maracons instead of macarons #it's driving me insane #cherry's mumbling about twst

Don't know why i'm writing this, maybe it could be cathartic, maybe it could help me find some other friends here.

Don't know why i'm using all these photos to write this post.

It's been ages since I last posted on this platform, and it was about a completely different subject.

Nothing wrong with that, of course. but my tumblr's nickname is based on that very person, so it's strange to change all of a sudden.

I've always felt a particular connection with music. It helped me through a lot: when I was being bullied at school for my weight, when nobody wanted me, when everything at university seemed to be falling apart.

But i've always been a little bit reluctant to try new singers and bands. That's when my friends came to stop this habit of mine.

They sent me photos of this fella right there in these photos, and I was like "ok, he's hot but does he make good music?". It turned out that yes, he makes good music. But I was only listening to 2 or 3 songs, so I didn't really had that much to judge.

But my friends, who are big fans of The 1975, practically forced me to buy a ticket to go to the SATVB Tour in Milan. It would have been an occasion for us to reunite (I live in Turin, they live in Milan and we don't see each other that often now that we work). So we bought tickets like a year ago and almost forgot about it.

The day of the concert was coming and honestly, I was feeling a little bit under the weather because of some things that were happening in my life last month. I had to drive for an hour and half (back and forth) to go there and I was alone in the car. Tiredness, money, time: everything was worrying me.

But I went anyway. Just to see my precious friends.

I started to study the setlist some days before the concert, just to shout some other lyrics rather than the only ones I knew. I was stunned by the verses, the words they used, the voice Matty has and the melodies the band uses in their songs. I went to the concert not knowing what to expect, maybe one of the usual concert I went to.

But boy, was I wrong.

Singing those song was liberating. I took some videos and then I tried to enjoy the rest of the show. Sometimes I was just admiring the stage, admiring Matty and how well he performes and owns the scene. My friends was like: "are you still on this Earth?". That was the right question, because I felt like I was being moved to another dimension where just the band and me were there. Nobody else existed.

I was unthinkingly worshipping Matty.

In the next days, I also recouped all the interviews, claiming that it was just to "practice my listening skills with British accent" - I work in an English private school and I've studied foreing languages at university. But it wasn't just that, ofc.

That's how my "obsession" started lol

All this wall of text to say that I need to make friends here. Because I noticed a lot of wonderful users that 1) write ff so beautifully 2) are so damn funny 3) have my same interests 4) helped me with my obsession lol

Since I'm new to this fanclub, I would like to chat with somebody who could explain me all the inside jokes or all the memes that sometimes I find on IG. And why not, practice my English as well.

My inbox is always open!

Love ya all.
