if i got a nickel for seeing a ship end with a chatacter who leaves to do something greater/fulfilling their purpose and help more ppl, but at the expense of leaving the love of their life alone and letting them lose their previous purpose...I'd get two nickels. which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

False Identity

Danny knew that if he wanted to escape Amity and all the chaos that was his life he needed to get a fake identity, move and go as far away as possible. He could probably ask Tucker or Technus, but he felt it was something he had to do on his own.

He made arrangements, destroyed the portal, said goodbye and ended up moving to Gotham. However his hacking job wasn't so good and he was discovered in an instant by the bats.

They decided to investigate him instead of confronting him directly, following Jim's advice that not everyone was running because of something malicious, Danny didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

He seemed to be adjusting to Gotham which was weird on it's own but the strangest thing he did was get a job in Penguin's Iceberg Lounge but that was more because of his job search than anything else.

His past records also showed nothing more than a child with poor grades and troubling injuries, probably caused by neglectful parents.

Damian began to fear the worst and hid the adoption papers.

#dpxdc #Danny moves to Gotham #According to Danny he did an excellent job #and no one noticed #Barbara detected it in two seconds #but he hadn't done anything wrong yet #Bruce felt suspicious about it #he stalked Danny but only ended up with a sad story about neglectful parents #Damian fears the worst #Tim helped him hide the adoption papers #dp x dc #dc x dp #Danny has no idea about any of this #he's just happy working with his newly acquired Uncle Penguin #his uncle probably isn't on the better side of the law but he cares #and that's what matters

“Suletta getting the Holder uniform back was antithetical to the show’s themes” but think about the context of the reunion scene for a second. The last time Miorine and Suletta saw each other, Suletta had been taking steps forward, declaring her intention to marry Miorine because she wanted to. Then Miorine had broken her heart.

But then there's this scene, and while it's true that the title of Holder shouldn't be determining who Miorine marries, I don't think that's the implication here. Instead, the fact that Suletta is again wearing it when Miorine opens the door means just this: I still choose you.

The thing about the Holder is that it doesn't matter anymore--it hasn't since Guel took it from Suletta--but what does matter is that Suletta still accepts the symbol for Miorine.

#it's abt mio opening the door. taking her steps forward. to find suletta having it once again. having made her decision #it's not abt things still being the same because theyve both changed so much but it IS about suletta's feelings ultimately going unchanged #and that's what MATTERS #anyway im unwell #mobile suit gundam the witch from mercury #g witch #gundam #miorine rembran #suletta mercury #sulemio #smokey speaks

Crowley + bluffing (+ memory)

Source

A lot of people have written about the indications in S2 that Crowley was once a Very Powerful Angel (specifically, an Archangel). And yeah, some hints are pretty blatant (eg "Thrones, Dominions, or higher"), and there are some sound analyses out there--so it's very possible that he was.

But I don't think that's necessarily the case.

I think that, when it comes to his power (or his bargaining position more generally), there's always a decent chance that Crowley is--at least partially--bluffing.

Source

25 Lazarii

As @halemerry pointed out in this meta about colors, purple is not only the color of massive angelic power--it's also Crowley red + Aziraphale blue (this was a revelation to me).

Source

I think it's made pretty clear that the remarkable power of the 25-Lazarii miracle isn't (in itself) evidence that Crowley was once among "the mightiest of Archangels"--it means that together, Aziraphale and Crowley are as powerful as the mightiest of Archangels.

Source

So when Crowley claims he might have done the "miracle of enormous power":

Source

and Shax doesn't question him, I don't think it necessarily means he's Very Powerful. Maybe he is. Maybe she knows it. But I don't think she does, and I don't think we do either.

Who knows? He could be bluffing.

"I meet a lot of people."

I think something similar could be going on when it comes to Crowley's memory. Yes, memory is a theme in S2, and mention of Crowley's memory (or rather, lack thereof) is a recurring point, so it probably means something. (And the line "looking at where the furniture isn't" does sound like he might be familiar with Jim's experience of amnesia.)

But in the cases of Furfur and Saraqael: sure, maybe he doesn't remember them--or maybe he's just calling them forgettable to be annoying and obstructive.

Source

He doesn't feel like playing along with either of them. He doesn't want to encourage some sort of connection. He's not their friend. Sure--maybe he dismisses Saraqael with "I meet a lot of people" to cover up an actual lapse.

Source

Or maybe he's just being a bit of a bastard (affectionate) and trying to get on their nerves.

In other words: maybe he's bluffing.

And so maybe Crowley was an Archangel. Maybe his memory was erased, and he had to work at recovering it piecemeal. Or maybe he was somebody of respectable power but middling influence (eg a Throne or Seraph, as per this informative meta on angelic rank). Maybe he lost some memory due to trauma, and he puts on a flippant front to hide pain from those who might take it as weakness. Or maybe he remembers everything, and he just enjoys sticking it to power at every opportunity by being infuriating.

Personally, I like to think of Crowley and Aziraphale as institutionally insignificant beings who happen to have enough audacity and imagination (and capacity for Caring About Things) to make themselves everyone's problem.

I don't know, maybe I just like the way book!Crowley and Aziraphale seem to be in similarly-middling positions in their respective organizations, yet still decide to team up and try to avert the apocalypse. Maybe I'm hung up on the underdog narrative, and ignoring evidence. (And/)or, maybe the whole bluffing thing is all very obvious--after all: he's a demon. He lies.

Edit: After writing this, I found this meta by @avelera about the Doylist argument for Crowley being a high-ranking angel, and it's...honestly pretty convincing (I have Pratchettist preferences about Our Heroes' status, it seems). But who knows? Maybe Gaiman will subvert the pattern. Maybe he's bluffing too.

#good omens meta #maybe I'm just being contrary and the signs are all there to be taken seriously #maybe I just like uncertainty #crowley #whoever he might have been #i do feel strongly that he's Crowley now #and that's what matters #good omens season 2 #gos2 spoilers #please tell me if I'm doing tumblr image attributions wrong

Once we'd mopped up, we strolled right into Vic's quarters in the State House, wrapped a rope around his neck, and threw him off the balcony. And there I am, gun in hand, draped in Hancock's duds, looking at all the people of Goodneighbor assembled below. I had to say something. That first time I said 'em, they didn't even feel like my words: "Of the people, for the people!"

#fallout 4 #hancock #john hancock #fallout ghouls #i don't think i've touched my watercolour paints since i was making poison for my barbies as a 10-year-old #this looked so much cooler in my head :(#it was still a fun experiment tho!#and that's what matters #tw: hanging

yuuri's tummy is an international treasure. a beacon of light in this dark world. and fortunately the boy knows it 🙏

aka i promised the yuri on the web discord server crop top yuuri, so here is crop top yuuri (because the crop top yuuri hype is never over in my heart). several months late, but nevertheless. i had intended to finish this for yuuri's birthday, but... now i guess it's a late birthday present for viktor. i think he'd appreciate it, anyway 👀

credit for the hashtag on the crop top goes to the discord server, too, specifically to @lines-on-ice ✨ and now i kind of want one too...

#yuri on ice #yuuri katsuki #katsuki yuuri #yoi #spooky draws #i'm so happy with how he turned out #i still don't know how to shade. but i TRIED #and that's what matters #used a bit of ref and tried a bit more realism as well #i'm very happy with the folds on his denim shorts #and his little face 🤌#i feel like i did his beauty justice and that makes me so happy

Just a reminder to all that the only boy in the town is a transgender Latino boy, and barely a single fuck was given.

Yep, that’s it. That is all.

Rehabilitation Path

While researching about a villain's parentage as Oracle, Babs discovered that the Information about Amity Park is blocked (maybe is the GIW, maybe is Tucker or an aftermath of Technus shenanigans in the city).

She realizes that she can't investigate about this random place and get concerned, so she decides to investigate it in person. But since is just a reconnaissance mission to understand the technological block she didn't tell the bats, why would she?

When she arrives there, she saw all the things happening: the teen hero, ghosts invasion, government cover-up, etc.

But that's not the worst part, because she also saw that something was happening with the town hero: He was moving like he couldn't see halfway, stumbling, missing his aim, his coordination was obviously failing and the blind spot was so obvious to her!

So instead of telling Bruce or the League as she should, she decided to talk to him. The boy told her that he had a really bad accident and he still felt the aftermath (like her)

When Babs asked him if he had done rehab to recover and he shrugged saying that his powers had fixed it, she was horrified. It seemed that no one had taken the time to give him rehabilitation therapy, a few days in the hospital and he was considered cured!

The boy also admitted about losing sight in one of his eyes over time, but not doing anything because he felt ashamed about it. The boy thought that this disability made him less valuable in combat, that when he recognized it, he would have to stop being a hero! Babs couldn't help but get annoyed with whoever put such a stupid thought in the teenager's head.

So she made up her mind: She would teach that boy about the good path to recovery, and show him that an accident didn't have to ruin his life, she would teach him to to be proud of his newfound disability, because that didn't stop her from being a hero and it wouldn't stop him either.
