not to be dramatic but gardening is literally and essential human behavior like art and dancing like birds singing and fish swimming people make gardens and i think that is so special. agriculture is the essential component to the formation of civilizations and towns and homes. there is nothing more human than a garden. gardens are sacred actually and i mean that
Yk realistically if the om bros were fucked up like demons should be, they wouldn't be that disturbed by bloodlust el's personality.
However, I think the terror and angst comes from the fact that they lived with him his whole life, and for the most part, he was very passive and calm and never immediately resorted to violence, so to see [what used to be] their human revel in bloodshed is.. unsettling.
OOOOOOH MY FUCKING GOD YOU GUYS. IT WAS AMAZINGGGGGG
IM GONNA TELL YOU ALL I CAN REMEMBER
so before i went in, i was dressed like this:
bonus points if you can guess what i’m dressed as (it’s a no brainer)
so i saw this guy and he looked familiar to me (and also he had an all access lanyard) so i went up to him, we started talking and TURNS OUT HE WAS ONE OF STYX’S MEDIA MANAGERS????? AND WE KNOW EACH OTHER NOWWW
he said that he saw me in the merch line and that he loved my outfit and i was like EHEHEHEGEEEE
so i got in, and everyone loved my outfit ESPECIALLY this one lady who fangirled over me and told me how much she loved JY and how she was as into dr. righteous as i was when she was my age!!!! we were like besties for the night!!!!
AND CHUCK WAS THERE!!!!
THATS THE FIRST TIME IVE EVER SEEN HIM
oh they also did this which i thought was COOOOL
it reminds me of the blue öyster cult poster on my wall!!
and also on top of that, they played QUEEN OF SPADES!!!!!!! that’s one of my favorite songs off of pieces of eight
HE SAID THE FUCKING LINE!!!!!!!!
OH YEAH THEY BROUGHT OUT THIS HUGE FUCKING PIANO FOR COME SAIL AWAY
lawrence said that this was liberace’s piano and OHHHH my god he looked so handsome with the coat on i almost fainted hdhhdbrheh
everyone’s been talking about how they did this and i CANT BELIEVE I SAW IT LIVE!!!! I WAS THERE!!!!!
everyone stood up and sung and it was amazing
AND THEN THEY PLAYED MR ROBOTO
I WAS ABLE TO GO TO THE FRONT I SAW IT ALL HAPPEN SO CLOSE AND I FELT LIKE I WAS GONNA EXPLODE
and then after they played renegade they did the bow and left and i managed to convince a guard to give me a pick!!!!
I love Good Omens for many reasons, but the one that touchs me most is how Aziraphale and Crowley are basically trying to live a happy life in spite of the toxic corporations they work for
This gets them fired, or worst, Aziraphale is threatened to come back (and to try and get Crowley to tag along)
And as you can see, I happen to work a corporate job
This is so niche, but I just watched Water for Elephants and I can’t stop thinking about a thenamesh circus au! So here’s my prompt: Thena is the star of the show, married to the cruel ringmaster who thinks he owns her. Then lo and behold, a certain sweet handsome and strong stable hand shows up and OBVIOUSLY they fall in love!!! Do whatever you’d like to with that LOL but let the drama and angst ensue
"Thanks for the help, Gil," two of the stage hands waved to him as they continued breaking down the ring and its rigging.
"Any time, guys," Gil waved back. He was the newest addition to the crew of the travelling circus. He really got the impression that the ring leader didn't actually want to hire him, but that it was his wife - the star headliner - who actually wanted to.
The animals needed proper veterinary care, not just Kro looking at them and saying that they could do the show until they died. No one really argued with the boss, except Thena.
No one knew how the stunning trapeze artist ended up marrying such a monster of a man. His story was that they met young and fell in love and he whisked her away to pursue their dreams together. It didn't take a genius to know that it was clearly only half of the story. But she was his wife, and the shining star of their travelling circus. So what Thena said was top priority.
Gil had spoken with her a few times while taking care of the animals. She cared for them very deeply, which warmed his heart. Especially in comparison to how Kro viewed them as nothing but walking dollar signs.
"We can get a few more shows out of it!"
"He has a bad leg!"
"Y'know when it can rest? When it's dead!"
Gil frowned, moving away from the walkway back to his personal train car and off to the side of things. It was dark out, with only the glow of their work lamps lighting things. But he could see that head of sparkling blonde hair anywhere.
"Move," Kro snarled, whether she was his wife or not. The white horse was cowering behind her.
"No," she stood against him, although he had no problem grabbing her for it. She leaned her face away from his. His hands gripped her arms, easily encircling her lithe and delicate muscles. "Stop it."
"Are you choosing a horse over me," he kept his eyes on her as he leaned into her space, "dearest?"
Thena was tough--she never had any problem with Kro's temper whenever he had a fit during rehearsal or when they were setting up. But it would be a lie to say she didn't have a certain shiver in her when he called her that. "No."
"Hey!"
Gil only realised he had said anything when the arguing couple turned towards him. He gripped his satchel in his hand but walked closer. He told himself to stay the course as Kro at least let go of Thena and stepped away from her.
"You say something?" the ring leader glared at him. Gil was not a small man, but this beast was something else. Gil often caught himself wondering if he ever ended up accidentally hurting his incredibly delicate - incredibly beautiful - wife.
"S-Sorry," Gil cleared his throat, dipping his head slightly to look up at him more. The ring leader liked flattery and feeling like he was the king of them all. "I just...I saw Angus and wondered if you needed a hand with anything."
"Mind your own, Vet," Kro snapped at him, straightening out his red performing jacket.
"No, Gil, wait!" Thena rushed, reaching out and pulling him towards her and the horse. "Angus' leg--it will heal, won't it?"
Her eyes were so, so green.
"The beast is gettin' sold to the factories by the third stop this week," Kro argued immediately.
"Gil, please," Thena pleaded again, although Kro's eyes moved to how her hands had moved to grip his sleeve. She pulled them back to herself, still standing in front of the quivering horse.
"Uh," he gulped. Horse's were fragile in the legs, and he couldn't guarantee the healing would happen quickly. But he looked from Thena to Kro, who looked ready to aim between poor Angus' eyes here and now. Gil nodded, "y-yeah. Angus is pretty young. With what it would cost to get a new horse and teach it the routine, you might as well just let Angus rest for the next two shows, three--tops!"
Kro huffed, already plenty angered just for having to argue about it. He straightened up to his full height again, looking down at Gil, "three shows?"
Gil crossed his fingers behind his back, "three shows."
"Fine, the beast lives."
Thena reached behind her, patting Angus' mane between his ears.
"But if it's any more than that," Kro glared at Gil in particular, leaning his head closer as he began walking away, "you'll put him down yourself."
"Yes, sir," Gil nodded. He could do that much; if anything, it would be kinder than however Kro would do it, he was sure.
Kro looked over his shoulder after a second, eyeing Thena. "I'll be waiting...dearest."
There was that shiver, "yes, dear."
Gil waited until Kro was moving away again to go over to her, "are you okay?"
She rubbed her hands over her bare arms, still in her sparkly - and sparse - performing costume. "I'm fine."
Gil had his doubts about that, but there wasn't much of anything he could actually do about it. He nodded, moving to take Angus' bridle in hand gently. "Does...he wasn't hurting you, was he?--when I came out here?"
Thena smiled at him, although there was something awfully morose about it. It looked like a smile, but it felt like she was crying. "No, Gil. He wasn't hurting me."
Gil gripped the leather straps tighter. Whether he believed that or not, if there ever came a day when he could no longer take the words at face value...
Thena took a step forward, making him even more aware of how ghostly she was. She was such a shining star when she was up on the high wires. But she was just a little thing, up close and personal. "Don't let him catch you worrying about me. He'll throw you from the train without hesitation."
Gil believed that too. But he also believed that if he ever saw that beast being too rough with her, he wouldn't be holding himself responsible for his actions. "I'll be sure to hide it from him, Miss."
Thena smiled, maybe even laughed to herself, and his heart twisted even more in his chest. She had such a pretty smile. "Take care of Angus for me, Gilgamesh? He'll need his rest for the next few days."
"'Course, Miss," Gil responded automatically, although he didn't take a single breath as Thena's hand just barely brushed over his as she stepped away and made her way back to the luxury sleeper car she and the ring leader shared.
She and her husband.
Gil turned to the horse, who was exhausted after just barely completing the show on an injured leg. "C'mon, boy, let's get you some calcium and a brace. Miss Thena's counting on you."
i love being unwavering in my religious beliefs in the face of those weirdo evangelicals who tell you finding god is the only way to get to heaven and no matter what you do that belief will get you there.
they just really have a special way of using religion to not take any semblance of accountability in their actions.
