See the thing is, you read HtN and like yeah, obviously lobotomizing yourself so a dead girl’s soul doesn’t get cannibalized is completely fucking wild and you probably have to love someone at least a little to do that, but Harrow has spent the whole book having tension with Ianthe and fervently claiming to be in love with the Body— and then you get to Act V and Harrow is literally weeping wailing feral about Gideon, constructing Prince!Gideon AUs (which, she doesn’t know about Gideon’s paternity!! She is simply drawing upon a (romantic!!!) genre trope!!!) and role reversal AUs and fucking coffee shop AUs about Gideon, and she’s refusing to go back to her own body, and Abigail and Magnus and Dulcie so obviously and completely believe that Harrow is in love with Gideon because they directly compare them to Abigail and Magnus, and she says she’s saving the last dance. Agh!!! Aggghhhhh!!!!!!

Does Crowley stay at the bookshop all night?
I'm just putting it out there that I don't think this is talked about enough:
This might not have been filmed, but it's right there in the scriptbook. Crowley leaves Aziraphale's bookshop right before Gabriel and Sandalphon arrive. I'm sure it's implied they are visiting fairly early on Thursday morning, since it's the first scene labelled as Thursday and later on Aziraphale and Crowley have time to drive all the way to Oxford and mess about there.
So what? Well the scene before this is Aziraphale and Crowley drinking in the bookshop after Warlock's birthday party on the Wednesday. It must be fairly late in the day by this point because the hell hound was supposed to arrive at 3pm and this scene is happening sometime later.
So Aziraphale and Crowley are in the bookshop drinking presumably into the evening on Wednesday whilst Crowley goes on about how he knows what Aziraphale smells like and they both think that the world is about to end in a matter of days. Then the next morning Crowley is noted as leaving the bookshop and has clearly been in there for enough time that Sandalphon can still smell his presence. Are we supposed to buy into the idea that he leaves late Wednesday night, comes back for an unspecified reason really early on Thursday, leaves again when the angels turn up and then comes back later for the trip to Oxford?
Well, I'm not buying it. So what were they doing in the bookshop all night?
(And also Aziraphale takes the angels into his back room to buy "pornography" - the back room where he was with Crowley not that long before - and frankly Aziraphale loves feeling like he's got one over on the Archangels, especially Gabriel, so yeah, there's that too.)
...just saying.

some practice designing sticker sheets featuring THE book of the year, Camp Damascus by @drchucktingle
[ID: a mock up sticker sheet of Camp Damascus designs. the color palette is in pale mints, dark teals, and bright oranges. Stickers are listed left to right, top to bottom. Sticker 1: a mayfly on a pale finger on closed lips. Sticker 2: A camera with a white eyed, dark haired demon reflected in the lens. Sticker 3: A mayfly in flight. Sticker 4: A flaming sword with a rose on the crossguard. A banner wraps around it reading "Rose 1:1" Sticker 5: Another mayfly in flight, this time in profile. Sticker 6: A bright red "Hello I'm" name tag with "Pachid" written in sharp letters. Lanks of stringy black hair frame the tag. Sticker 7: A pair of black earbuds are surrounded by jagged sound lines and an explosion-like background. Sticker 8: A silhouette of Rose and Willow kissing in front of a roaring fire in a forest. The shadow cast by the flame stretches out before them and its shape splits to read "I'd love her". Sticker 9: A small cabin goes up in flames, surrounded by a swarm of mayflies. Text circles the image reading "burn it down". End ID]

Thinking about how in "Death and the Queen" (Tenth Doctor Adventures - Volume one), the Doctor said "I lied. I said I was fine about you leaving, and I'm not" and "No man's ever gonna be good enough for my Donna", and how when he said "No happily ever after", Donna answered "Except with you".

Two observations:
1. Brienne knows Jaime.
He is probably the man she knows best, of all the men she knows--better than Renly, much as she may have wished otherwise, and likely better than her father. Jaime even remarks upon how well they know each other; the feat is greater on her part, since he is the better at hiding his true nature from the world.
She learns that his reputation as a great swordsman is not exaggerated. Even weak and in chains he's nearly able to beat her. It's one of the things that she can't help but admire about him, no matter how poorly she at first thinks of him.
They’re quite literally forced into proximity, where she must clean him and care for him. She is with him at his lowest, when he's lost that which he thinks defines him and gives him purpose, and she keeps him from succumbing to despair. She's able to say the thing he needs to hear to keep him fighting.
She’s the only person who knows the truth about why he killed Aerys. It is the secret he was never supposed to reveal and he entrusts it to her. She carries that knowledge with her, and it changes her, as knowledge is wont to do.
Brienne knows Jaime, and he’s still the one she cries out for in the delirium of her most grievous injury. She knows him, and she still refuses to condemn him until the threat of a truly terrible injustice forces her to.
2. Jaime chooses Brienne.
True, in some cases he acts merely as any decent human would to another: he uses the oar to help her back into the boat, rather than clubbing her over the head and leaving her to drown, as he thinks he should; he counsels and lies and shouts and is beaten to protect her body and mind and honor from assault. And early on in their acquaintance he claims no control over the way his body reacts to hers, and over the way his thoughts turn to her.
But time and again he acts to aid her. He thinks that she is stupid and stubborn and that she deserves whatever happens to her; and he does all he can to prevent it.
It's not enough that he merely returns to Harrenhal for her. He offers Vargo Hoat gold and sapphires in exchange for her safety; when that fails Jaime jumps into the pit to protect her, with no plan and no thought for his own safety. Acting in her defense and protecting her good name becomes a habit.
He gives her what she's always wanted: a sword. But it's not just a sword; it's a priceless weapon and a quest and a chance to do what's right and good and honorable. It's his belief in her.
When Cersei pleads for his help, he burns the letter. When Brienne tells him she knows where Sansa is, he follows her without question.
