wow so I have like 3 analysis in progress that touch on this topic but I really need to just talk about it rn with its own spotlight.
Aziraphale has this entire life that he's built for himself on earth, after armageddon he's thriving. When we catch up with him in Season 2 his first scene is literally him going to check in with one of his tenants, and throughout the season we see that he has a decent relationship with nearly Everyone on the block. He has an entire life for himself all hashed out and pretty.
Crowley... does not. His cold open in Season 2 is back in St. James park, checking in with Shax, finding out the gossip on Hell. He doesn't have his apartment, he only has his Bentley and the few plants he could fit in it. He doesn't have any other human friendships. His entire life and everything he loves to do is built entirely around Aziraphale.
This is something that I just find so fucking thrilling because when it comes to their characters and where exactly they are in their arcs right now, it's essentially like looking into a mirror.
Aziraphale knows exactly who he is when he's on his own. He nurtures his own relationships with humans he sees often, he's a nice landlord, he loves books and classical music, and hot cocoa. But, Aziraphale still holds onto the ideals of heaven. He still cares about doing good and being forgiving. He still cowers and jumps at the opportunity to help heaven, not because he wants to but because he's supposed to because he's still an angel.
Crowley has nothing. He has his car, which he drives to a secluded location to park every night, only to drive it right back in the morning. He's only even vaguely recognizable because people associate him with Aziraphale and this is fine for him, he could care less. He doesn't really need to know who he is or process his traumas, why would he when he can put all his attention and focus and love and care directly into Aziraphale? His friend, who has always been his friend, the one person who has always stood by him. Who cares about heaven and hell, he has Aziraphale.
When we finally see them on their own and without the influences of their head offices, we see the opposite of what we'd expect, and nearly the opposite of the outcome we see in episode 6. Crowley is the one constantly checking in with Hell (wether he likes it or not), and Aziraphale is the one who's living care free without even thinking about heaven. When he does something good that he wants to report, he just calls Crowley.
this whole dance of Crowley not knowing who he is without Aziraphale and Aziraphale knowing who he is fundamentally but not knowing how to break free from the confines of Heaven that stop him from truly embracing Crowley in the end, it's just so delicious.

warhammer
Brynjolf x F! Dragonborn! Reader
word count: 1985
triggers: none
summary: Who could've thought a pair like them could've bonded over a warhammer? Clearly not themselves.
prompt: from @writings-of-a-hufflepuff List #5 prompt 9.
"You really thought I was dead?"
Tumblr media
"Mercer, you're back, but where's-"
"Dead. Karliah got her before I got the chance to save her. Such a shame really... she showed so much promise."
The guild all watched Brynjolf freeze, but they'd all seen it before. It wasn't new for his protege to get caught or killed, but his response was so different this time. He seemed... sadder. As this time it was personal like she was more than a protege.
"I'll be back. I'm going to go find her."
"Were you not listening boy? She's dead."
"Just let me do this, alright? I just need to know." He retorted, not keeping to his cool under pressure attitude.
"Do I need to get you a horse-?" Delvin asked, only to be cut off by the man in question.
"I'll be fine Delvin. Be back as soon as I can-" Brynjolf answered.
"You're insane Brynjolf. Can't you just take my word for it?!" Mercer yelled, calling after the man who was already leaving. The man who ignored the protests of the other members entirely.
___________________
Not finding any proof had only made it that much harder for Brynjolf to accept it. And he scoured the Sanctum, only to find dried blood in an open room.
Damn Karliah. Damn her to Oblivion.
Brynjolf had struggled to find any other way to accept it, so he just blamed Karliah instead, finding it was much easier than anything else. She had killed the last guild master, so who's to say that she wouldn't kill another member? One that was going to help fix all of the problems.
"Brynjolf, please, just stop drinking, it's not going to change anything," Vekel muttered.
"Just give me the damn drink, Vekel."
"No. I will not indulge you in this. I don't care if you're hurting, please just accept that she's gone."
"How? She was... she was special."
"The same way I got over my parents. Time and goodbyes." Sapphire suddenly began speaking and slid into the barstool next to Brynjolf.
"I'm not ready for that."
"Then no mead, no wine, no alcohol whatsoever. It won't help, it'll only make it worse."
Brynjolf groaned, and got up and walked away, hoping to at least be alone. To maybe find some peace by going through her things. To maybe just sleep. Just anything to be free of people's dagger-like eyes that pierced him with judgment.
His eyes flickered to her empty bed, the way it just looked so wrong. Brynjolf sat himself in front of her chest, looking through her things, noticing things that he recognized, specifically a certain warhammer...
"Lass, this is ballsy, even for you."
"Shh, it'll be fine."
He watched her sneak away, attempting to steal the war hammer right off the guard's back.
And all Brynjolf remembered was the way the hammer was too heavy for her hands and she carried it back over to him with the largest smile on her face.
"I told you it'd be fine."
"I guess I should believe you more often lass."
He took the hammer out of her arms, and she seemed to sigh in relief, but still high from the thrill of theft.
"Obviously. Don't be an idiot, I'm just as good of a thief as yourself."
"Of course," he mused as he mussed up her hair, and she slapped his hand away.
"Do you know how hard it is to tame this?!"
And Brynjolf just laughed as she attempted to fix her barely messed up hair, scowling as she did so.
"You're so lovely, lass."
"I would say 'you too' but you were a jerk who messed up my hair!"
"You look fine, lass."
"Says the guy who rolls out of bed and looks gorgeous."
"That's very flattering, Y/n, but not entirely true."
He watched her jaw drop, and he gave a soft chuckle.
"You do not comb through your hair! There's no way in Oblivion-"
"And that's where you'd be wrong lass."
"Oh, my gods... Brynjolf is a fancy man."
"And proud of it."
He winked, yet didn't fail to catch the glimpse of a blush dusting her cheeks.
"What happened to you lass..?"
It wasn't long before there was a clamor coming from the Flagon, and when the Cistern door flew open, every member was on alert.
Karliah...
Brynjolf decided to be civilized but was not afraid to turn from the plan if it even slightly went south.
"Karliah, what did you do to Y/n?"
___________________
"Y/n? You're alive?"
It was Vekel who seemed to notice her first, and it drew the attention of the few other members still in the Flagon.
"Y/n? But Mercer said-" Tonilia started.
"Mercer lied. He's lied to all of you for years."
The newest recruit had been confirmed dead by the current guild master, and he'd managed to convince everyone but a certain second in command.
"Brynjolf looked for you. We were also worried about the fact that you two were gone that he just, decided to seek answers for himself... He hasn't been well."
"Vekel, is he here? We have a lot to talk about, and I need the entire guild's attention."
"Of course, he should just be in the Cistern-"
But she was already gone, ready to tell everyone the truth and to address her Brynjolf situation, but that would have to take a backseat. There were far more pressing matters at hand.
As she pushed through the Cistern door, she heard arguing amongst the members and loads of insults toward Karliah.
"Mercer's a liar."
"Lass..."
Brynjolf's face softened and she watched his body seem to go slack.
'He looked for you... he hasn't been well.'
"Karliah saved my life. Mercer tried to kill me."
She lifted her shirt to show the fresh scar along her stomach.
Brynjolf's eyes traced the marred skin, and his body seemed to tense the longer he looked.
"He's been robbing you blind for years, check the vault."
Karliah added, standing right by Y/n's side. Y/n had put her shirt back down, smoothing it out as she stood increasingly closer to Karliah.
"Lass?"
Those eyes of his... those gorgeous emerald eyes bore into her, coaxing an answer from her. Silently pleading for the truth, clearly uncomfortable with the woman beside her.
"She's right, please, Bryn, believe us." Y/n copied his own eyes, begging him for the decency to believe her.
He let out a sigh before shouting," Oi, Delvin! We need to open the vault."
"Thank you..." she breathed, smiling over to Karliah.
Brynjolf looked over to her, very upset about the large scar on her torso, and although he was warry of Karliah, he knew of what happened to Gallus and it didn't help that he knew what it felt like to hear that Y/n was dead. But he threw that to the side when he saw Y/n smile at Karliah, watching her seem very relaxed around the supposed murderer of Gallus and Y/n herself.
"You called, Brynjolf?"
"Put your key in, we need to get this door open."
"Of course."
Y/n hesitantly walked toward the vault, standing right beside Brynjolf. It made him feel a wave of relief knowing she was this close again.
"It's empty! It's all gone!" Delvin yelled back to the group after doing a sweep of the vault.
"Mercer! Damn him!" Brynjolf answered, entering the vault to confirm the claim.
It was a stab at the entire guild like someone had slit the guild's throat and captured its riches as if it were blood. The experience was numbing to most guild members, realizing that not only had all of their hard work been for naught, but their guild master was also the reason for it. He had caused every problem they had ever faced, yet always found some scapegoat, never allowing himself to be seen in a negative light as he tore the guild apart from the inside.
"When I see him, I swear I'm going to-"
"Vex! You know that's not how we operate. We just need to figure this out..." Brynjolf chided the white-haired woman, who was now seething in anger but held her tongue, silently planning Mercer Frey's death in several different ways.
"Lass," Brynjolf turned to Y/n," Tell me everything that's been going on."
"I will Bryn, I promise, but first... can we be alone? Vekel said you haven't been well-"
"So long as we speak of the guild first, of course, lass."
Y/n held out a hand, which he quickly accepted, allowing her to lead him to the intended destination. Although the place was just the secret entrance for the Cistern, they sat on the hidden steps together.
She first informed him about how Karliah had been framed, that Mercer Frey had betrayed them and brought a curse upon the Guild after infuriating Nocturnal. She then led into the tales of the secret trio of Nightingales being true.
"The Nightingales? I thought that was just an old legend, but I believe you lass."
"It seems that we don't have much of a choice in anything anymore Bryn..."
He cleared his throat, garnering her undivided attention.
"What was it that you wanted to talk about lass?"
She gave a soft smile, grabbing his hand and intertwining her fingers with his.
"Vekel said you've been..." she paused, for lack of better words," not well."
"I've not been ill, lass."
"I didn't mean it that way. He said you came for me."
"...I had to make sure it wasn't true."
"You really thought I was dead?"
"No," Brynjolf felt his heart jump into his throat, and he tried to cough up an answer.
"I just... I didn't believe Mercer when he told me you were dead... I... I had to see for myself."
Brynjolf's eyes didn't meet hers, but he rubbed the back of her palm with his thumb.
"You know I missed you, missed us. You know that right?"
"I missed you more than you know... Saw you kept that old warhammer... that was a nice day..."
"That was a nice day... I found out that you were a fancy man."
"And I found out that I loved you," he spoke just below a whisper, just as if it were just a breath.
"Bryn? What was that?"
"Don't worry about it. So I'm a fancy man? I'm glad you remember lass."
"No, don't lass me. You never told me you were hurting. Was it that hard with me gone?"
She had begun to hold his hand a little bit tighter as she looked over at him, trying to get him to look back into her eyes.
"Yes lass," and for the first time since they started their little talk, the emerald-eyed man looked her in the eye.
"It was hard."
"But I'm just, me."
"And that's just it Y/n. You're just you, and down the line, I fell in love with you. I searched for you... because I didn't want to come back to a guild without you."
"I love you too. Gods above, I've been in love with that stupid accent of yours since you told me I couldn't steal that warhammer." She said with a laugh, letting herself fall to lean against his side.
He kissed her temple and gave her hand a squeeze before muttering," That's when I fell as well."
"Future romance advice for those who need it, just steal a warhammer, then you'll love each other." She teased, currently pleased with their current situation.
"Steal one more for the road? We can fix the guild later?" He offered, and he knew the answer as soon as he was pulled to his feet.
"Whoever gets one first, without being caught, gets a kiss!"
"I'm not against this bargain..."
And the pair of thieves both split, oh so full of love, and ready for everything they faced in front of them.

i am haunted by this screenshot i once saw of this young girls video titled makeup routine for 13 year olds or something and then it showed the YouTube demographics that watched the video and it was men in their 30s+… I don’t look at kids videos on there the same way

What if I just developed social skills to be able to actually make new friends in person and then used those skills to get a new phone number and pack my bags and run away to a place where no one knows me and all my past mistakes and fuckups and started over there without going into social isolation
#i needed to hand my expose in in february and got an email about it this weekend and agreed to hand it in on tuesday#it is now sunday evening and i just got another email about it but thinking about opening it makes me want to throw up#she's so nice and i don't want to see her scolding me for AGAIN not sticking to a deadline#what if she tells me that was the final deadline and i won't receive a grade for that class and so i won't be allowed to write my thesis#until next january? I wanted to graduate this autumn. it's april and i haven't even started on my thesis and i have like three bullet point#for the expose; and idek if I'll be able skillwise and mental health wise/adhd wise to actually write the stupid thesis#like what if i can't do it and then i've spent the last one and a half years on a degree i won't get in the end and then i won't be able to#apply to a lot of the jobs i thought actually looked good#@god give me some social butterfly skills and I'll give or throw most of my stuff i don't absolutely need away so i can just..#go somewhere new. start over. and not become even more socially isolated than i already am.#does anyone know what a panic attack feels like because i'm having suspicions that i might have finally gotten them this year#but didn't recognise them as such because it could be worse#so anyway. god grant me some social friend making skills#if you can't do that at least throw in some adhd and depression treatment. i am sick of this.#and by this i mean the way i've been living my life at least since i left high school; probably even while still in high school#vent posts#mine#i love my online friends so much but i can't meet them outside to sit in the sun or chat about anything at all or go have coffee together#or or or you get me

Got yelled at in a store by a random man today because I’m disabled
Vent under the cut
I have an invisible disability. I’m having a bit of a bad brain day today, and it’s taking me a lot longer than normal to process things. I was in a game store and I was concentrating on an item I was looking to pick up, trying to remember exactly what it was I was after because I couldn’t quite remember what I’d come in for
The person who was working there spoke to me, and because of the bad brain day, and the fact that I was already thinking about something else, it took me a moment to realise she was talking to me. Then after I realised she was talking to me I had to try and to work out what she’d said. I have problems with audio processing at the best of times, but today has been worse than normal. The loud music and bright lights in the store really didn’t help either
Before I could figure out what she had said, and just before I was about to ask her to repeat herself, I heard my friend say something to to the worker.
Then I heard a man yelling. Again, I was having trouble processing so it took me a while to realise the man was yelling at me. I can’t emphasise enough how confused and overwhelmed I was at this point
I couldn’t understand what he was saying at first, but after a few seconds I realised he was angry at me. He was yelling at me for ignoring the worker and for apparently having a “mucky” look on my face?? (I was wearing a mask?). I was super confused
My friend spoke up and told the man that they’d responded to the worker for me, so she hadn’t been ignored, and that I had a disability and that sometimes it took me a little while to process things, and that sometimes I have trouble speaking. They explained that I wasn’t ignoring her and that wasn’t deliberately making any face
I couldn’t speak the whole time. I was just too confused and my brain just wouldn’t. I don’t know who this man is at all, but I think he was just another customer? He was talking with the worker the entire time I was in there, so maybe he was a friend of theirs? I can’t really even remember what he looks like, just that he came up to my chest, was older (like maybe 40’s?) and I think he had a British accent? Regardless even after being told that I have a disability and I wasn’t being rude, he continued scowling at me and wouldn’t hear it. He insisted that I had deliberately ignored her and that I was making a face he didn’t like?? (I didn’t think I was making any face at all??? I was just trying to get my brain to work?? Plus I was wearing a mask so idk how he could see my face at all??)
I was so confused and I wasn’t in any state to handle confrontation, so I thought it would be for the best if I just left
Anyways I never did work out exactly what the worker had said to me, but my friend told me that she’d just asked if I needed any help, and that they had answered for me because they knew I wasn’t having a good brain day. I never got to speak to, or apologies to the worker either for the misunderstanding. I passed by the same store a little while later on my way home, but that man was still in there chatting to the employee
I’d always had good interactions with that employee too, so it was disappointing to see her ignore the situation and just keep chatting to the man like nothing had happened. The store prides itself on being inclusive and supportive of people with disabilities too, so it’s especially disappointing to see such a lack of understanding and respect towards disabled customers
Sorry for venting. This happened a few hours ago, but my brain is just catching up to it now. And now that it has the OCD won’t stop ruminating on what happened. I’m genuinely so confused and don’t understand what I did wrong, or what I could have possibly done different? Especially during a shutdown
Oh well, nothing I can do about it now I guess?

sigh, i still cannot fathom how anyone (yes, even Oda himself) could possibly think One Piece would work as a live action series without it coming off as anything BUT cringey...
especially when a majority of the characters are so silly and exaggerated in terms of features and/or mannerisms, that i cannot imagine anyone IRL being able to pull off or truly capture the essence of these characters in a live action series. and by taking away some of these exaggerated features/mannerisms of the characters to perhaps make them slightly more believable or grounded in reality, you’re basically erasing an important part of their identity that is specifically unique to them in the original series. just based on the trailer alone, the fact that they deliberately chose to get rid of certain aspects of these characters should already be a huge warning sign that One Piece being adapted into a live action series was never a good idea... 
y’know maybe sometimes, certain manga/anime are meant to stay and be consumed within that form of media, and that should be more than enough. even MORE so with a series like One Piece, which has over a thousand chapters & episodes, and STILL counting!!
anyway, that’s just my two cents’ worth on the live action adaptation. if you belong to the part of the fandom who is excited and looking forward to the live action series, great for you! and if you’re on the other side of the fandom who feel the exact opposite, that’s completely valid too. after all, how many anime live action adaptations can you name that were actually successful and well-received by the fans and general public, hmm?
