[thoughtlessly-me]

Is there a day where we can all meet up and talk about all the shit then talking behind our backs about how much you hate me because I spoke up and said no to you?

Clearly not because your immaturity screams from a mile way. Truly disgraceful behaviour from you.

I generally don't become attached to ideas of how I would like to see characters develop or how I hope for relationships to play out, part of the thrill for me when I'm so invested in a show is letting the storytelling take me wherever it needs to without too many expectations (that's not to say that I don't still speculate and have wish lists or I'm not sometimes disappointed when the storytelling turns out to be rubbish, but I'm pretty confident we're not at risk of that with Good Omens, thankfully).

So as for the way any physical aspects of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship unfold from here, whether there's handholding, a kiss, more, nothing else or everything else, whatever physicality there is, the one thing that will undo me more than anything overly overt would be tenderness (and a hug. I would sell a kidney for a melt-into-one-another hug so yes maybe I do have other things on my little list but that's not the point here, carry on)

It's there already, with the way Crowley softens or the way Aziraphale responds teasingly, they already relate to one another tenderly in a way neither Heaven or Hell allows and it is something angels and demons are starved of. We see the way tender interaction transforms Gabriel and Beelzebub, culminating in the moment they tenderly take one another's hands, the simple gesture exuding a love that surpasses any sense of duty or obligation.

For Aziraphale and Crowley to give themselves permission to be tender with one another, and to receive tenderness, would allow them to not just fully express their love, but to understand and believe they are each worthy of it.

Finished watching 'The Meddling Monk' and in conclusion—

They have ONE session on physical defence at the Academy and in that session they teach only ONE move: how to whack someone soundly over the head (preferably with a stick).

(The Doctor and the Monk are SOOO silly together help. Also they have weirdly similar speech patterns so. Chewing on that a bit.)

#no idk why I find this so funny but like. they BOTH do it?!!!!! #irrelevant and insensible thoughts #dw #classic who #the first doctor #first doctor era #the meddling monk #academy era #<- ...kind of. implied I suppose #if there's any canon that talks about detailed classes — no it doesn't. The only ways we've seen One really accomplish physical violence #is by hitting people over the head with things. and he's probably learnt little else yet. (maybe fencing...but he hasn't shown it) #no wonder Mortimus was so worried about the stick at his back #honourable mention to throwing a blanket/cloak over the attacker (in the Romans and that one scene I've seen in a clip of delgado!master) #that was probably advanced defence #sorry about the blurry pictures. turns out it's quite hard trying to photograph a television ;–;

pc starting to wear different perfumes and scented lotions bc kylar likes sniffing them so they want to smell good, but kylar keeps getting so upset after smelling you bc he can't smell you natural scent anymore!! why are you doing this to him!! eventually he just starts stealing your things so you can't use them anymore and he can go back to sniffing your skin

you're really sad because your perfumes and body mists are going missing! those were really expensive! (it makes kylar feel bad but does he stop stealing them? no.)

kylar assures you that you smell amazing anyway! so you don't need to worry about wearing things like that!! probably infodumps to you about how when people are in love their natural pheromones smell really good to the other person!! do you like how he smells? please say you do. he really hopes you like how he smells...

i think he's the type of guy that just. really obnoxiously sniffs you when you're hugging or leaning against one another. if you comment on it he probably does it more bc he knows you 'loooveeee' it!!

#real talk guys kylar would HATE me because i love perfume. #this is making me think back to my highschool ex that really liked sniffing my hair ... #bro was looming over me and CONSTANTLY SNIFFING MY HAIR IN PUBLIC AAAAAAAAAA #< guys do not date guys that give off kylar vibes. like. it's a mistake and NOT healthy (coming from a dummy who learnt the hard way) #kuuskylarposting #hatkuuasks

This is Jay (short for JJ… which is short for Jellycat Jack), and he loves adventure so much that he went on one even before coming home for the first time!

#I AM SO GLAD I TRUSTED MY INSTINCTS he was the last one in my local store <333 #His fur is this lovely off-white that makes every picture look like it has a filter on and he has this inexplicable nostalgic aura #I love hiiiimmm #DON’T let people talking about the fur quality put you off it feels like it’ll wear better than the stuff they use on bashfulls #and it’s still really soft #and easier to clean! As I learnt the hard way when he fell in the mud</3 #seriously it brushed right off it’s great #it feels sort of like the stuff they use in tassels on like rugs and cushions and stuff #plushblr #Jay! #jellycat jack #Jellycat 25th anniversary

If Zenkichi was part of the LGBT community where do you think he be?

hiii anon sorry this is like. super late. i was gonna draw a comic for a response but alas. i am too busy, and now i appear homophobic....

anyway he's solidly bisexual to meeeee. and more importantly, he doesn't know it. doesn't even know what the hell bisexuality is until he's 43 and wondering why sakamoto jokes about liking boys when he'd been very obviously checking out the girls on the beach

#hasegawa hell #(zenkichi voice) we are all attracted to both genders and have to choose which one we like more. this is something they don't tell you #which has to be learnt the hard way #the thieves:

And all of a sudden Crosshair is snarling, face contorted with vicious fury, writhing to tear himself free of Wrecker’s grip in a blind frenzy. 

There’s a reason the Kaminoans take such caution in restraining the youngest of the experimental clones.

#BUCKLE UP IT'S RANT TIME #whenever i write crosshair he's always very predator coded #it's either vulture/bird of prey in general coding or wildcat backed into a corner coding #(no prizes for guessing which one this is) #there's something feral about him #he's just constantly on this knife edge. push him a bit too far and he'll snap #(the regs learnt that the hard way) #something something vicious creatures find a way to survive #idek where i'm putting this but i love it #and cadet crosshair is physically nowhere near as strong as the regs as well #just this willowy frail white haired boy that's too small for his clothes #who'll tear you limb from limb if you threaten his family #he's definitely gone for every single kaminoan that worked on him #and they deserved it!! #wip

My unfinished Diana/47 comics from last year that unfortunately I forgot their lines OTL

So i post them here and hope you guys can use your imagination to guess what are they saying

This one is inspired by the fanfic Blueberry Muffins by @diana-fortyseven. Diana buying 47 a muffin each time they meet in person is the sweetest thing i can imagine, so why not make a comic based on that?

And what if 47 met Diana in the Lust Assignation DLC? I have seen such headcanons of the DLC and thought it would be cool to draw them out. Btw Diana in the comic is a sinful/demonic depiction of Lust

I hold by the idea of Tara and Sam having a off childhood from the jump like the idea that their father would dip completely and not stay in contact with Tara, who as far as we know, is his biological kid, just reeks of “I’ve been searching for a valid way out that wouldn’t make me a complete deadbeat and you just gave me one.” He probably married Christina out of obligation since they were together in high school and fell out of love (if he was ever in) years ago. And I like the idea that Christina was always unstable and Sam was the solid foundation for Tara growing up. Sam leaving knocked Tara off balance and made it easier for someone like Amber to insert herself in Tara’s life (shout out to the tamber crowd tho no shade)

Anon I'm in love with you.

I've mentioned before that I had some really dark thoughts on how their childhood could have been, and I have decided I am going to explore some of them. I've kind of held off on them because they seem to focus more on Tara than Sam, and I don't want people to think I love Tara/Jenna more than Sam/Melissa, because that's just not true, I love them equally. I'm just very cautious of the Sam v Tara attitude that I've seen a lot of. My theories hurt both of them, just in very different ways.

I think you're spot on that Mr Carpenter married Christina out of obligation. Neither of them were in love with each other, they were just having fun, but well shit they're in this situation now. Maybe they were even prom king and queen, jock and cheerleader, a real stereotype. Maybe there was an expectation they would end up together anyway. Christina didn't want a fucking baby at 18 but she really did love Billy and now he's dead.

They make the best of it.

She puts her career aspects on hold, he works in sales and sometimes travels for work. Sam is an easy baby, all things considered. She's a deep sleeper and she rarely cries and it means Christina can continue living her life with barely any interruption. He doesn't care for children, but Sam is his and he can admit she's cute in the recesses of his mind. It works for them, they even settle into the role.

Then one day, Christina learns she's pregnant again.

Despite being relatively content with the life she's found herself in, she's not looking to add to it. She makes the mistake of talking about it with a girl friend over lunch, about how she doesn't want another baby. Sam, who should have been napping, is awake and hears and gets excited. It's all over from there. Her husband finds out and he's weirdly excited about it. He didn't pay attention the first time, content to let Christina do the parenting, but he's ready now. He loves Sam, and he can't wait for the baby.

The enthusiasm doesn't last long.

Tara is a difficult baby.

Born 10 weeks early, it takes a month in the ICU before they can bring her home. Sam nags her to see the baby daily, as if staring at the little thing in the basket sucking on a ventilator is worth wasting her time for. She has problems with her lungs from the get-go. And that's only the start of it. She cries, she doesn't want to feed, she won't sleep. There's constant hospital visits and check-ups with specialists. Her husband decides to go back to work early, escaping across the country, previous sentiments forgotten.

One day she just won't stop crying. She was crying when she left to pick up Sam from school, and she was still crying when she returned. The only thing that stops her from taking a pillow to its face is the sight of her daughter on her tiptoes, reaching through the bars to press chubby fingers to its cheek, cooing at the baby. The thing actually shuts up for once.

Christina offloads most of the parenting onto Sam.

Baby Tara is receptive to Sam because she's gentle and touches her and doesn't yell. Babies are sensitive to emotional cues.

By the time Sam is 10, Christina is gone most of the time, working, or not working, it's hard to tell.

They're both cheating on each other. He gets so mad about the Sam lie because of all the years he wasted stuck with her.

Tara starts pre-school a year late because neither of her parents remembered to enroll her. The school tried to put her in the grade she should be in, but quickly realised that wasn't going to work. Tara was smaller than the other kids, and with her health problems, they decided it was better to downgrade her a year.

Sam does her best to help Tara with school, but she doesn't know about learning disabilities or how to help her.

By the time their father left, Christina did nothing except drop off an envelope of money on the counter monthly and pay the bills. Sam learns to forge her mother's signature to sign off on Tara's medical needs.
