Now that season 2 of good omens is only about a month away and everyone waiting has already watched season 1 and read the book multiple times, may I suggest something to tide you over while waiting:

When the Angels Left the Old Country by Sacha Lamb! Featuring an angel and a demon best-friend pair going on a trip together and being very confused by humans and their weird ways! It is very good!

The general tone is pretty humorous and light-hearted, the characters are fun, the mythology is fun, it’s all very jewish and very queer but light on romance (there’s an f/f subplot though!). The plot is less apocalyptic than Good Omens (they’re looking for a missing girl, not trying to stop armageddon) but equally as engaging.

In short: read When the Angels Left the Old Country, please, I beg of you, it deserves so much love

#when the angels left the old country #good omens #this is equally a suggestion to help the wait and a desperate appeal for more people in general to read wtaltoc #its one of my favorites its so so good #hmm should i start a tag for just talking about books? #i used to have one i think but i havent used it in years #but ive been doing a bit more book talk lately #and i'm tempted to amp it up #sighs wistfully. i miss talking about books to the void #anyway if you hop on this post to complain about gaiman I'm blocking you #i like both books and this is a recomendation not a competition #nella talks books

So I was asked to expand on the whole Jamil having a trauma response to Leona comment on my last post, aaand here's that.

(This pertains to chapter 6 btw, so spoiler warning)

(also it's very much sleep deprived rambling so sorry if it's, well, rambly)

First off, I'm operating under the assumption that he has cPTSD. Jamil has clearly been programmed since birth to always obey the Asims and act in their best interests, even at the expense of his own life. This is a boy who has been forced to eat poison to protect them and their assets, who's family was forced to let that happen, and who has been so desperate his entire life to escape that situation that he was willing to resort to murder and doom not just himself but his whole family which he is implied to care about. Which means if simply quitting was an option, he would have done so. So, you kinda have to infer that he and his family don't have a choice in this role, and there are severe enough consequences for disobedience that fucking up or refusing is a worse option than risking a slow painful death every time Kalim wants to eat something. And this is all stuff that's been depicted blatantly in canon, not even touching on the assumptions that could be made from there.

So that's the position Jamil is in. That is a traumatic situation. This is a guy who has been groomed for servitude and obedience since he was old enough to talk. These kinds of circumstances absolutely can lead someone to be triggered into subservience or other trained behaviors. That's just, a thing with trauma.

Now, with the Asims being one of if not THE most powerful merchant families in their country, one of the expectations of Jamil as their servant and especially as the attendant to their heir is to ensure good relationships with other rich and powerful families, especially royalty. This was shown in the fireworks event, where he states that as a prince, if Malleus came to any harm under his watch while a guest of the Asims, it could start an international conflict. These are incredibly high stakes, a misstep on Jamil's part could ruin the Asim family and potentially even endanger his country, and it's pretty strongly implied that he and his family would take the blame and suffer the consequences. Now, much like how wearing a company logo while at work makes your actions representative of your employer, Jamil serving the Asims 24/7 (and especially as the chaperone of their heir) means that he is representing their family At All Times. This is why he is forced to defer to Kalim in all aspects of life even outside of their country, part of his job is to make his employers look good, and there are consequences for not doing so. This means that anyone of high enough status to be significant to the Asims is someone who Jamil is required to be subordinate to.

Then, enter Leona. As a wealthy prince, he would be someone who Jamil is expected maintain good relations with at any cost to himself. With his position Leona could literally destroy Jamil's (and probably his family's) entire life with a single complaint to the Asims about his conduct. Like, he could do that with no actual cause just for fun, because the Asims are 100% going to take the side of a prince over an expendable servant. This means that one misstep or any backtalk from Jamil puts him at massive risk, it is entirely up to Leona whether or not he suffers for any of these actions, and while the audience knows Leona's personal morals would prevent him from actually doing that, Jamil does not.

THEREFORE (sorry this ended up so long), once Jamil was in a life threatening situation with Leona, it seems likely that all this programming and fear would manifest in desperately trying to protect him and follow orders the way he's always done for Kalim. To me, the way he snapped into bodyguard mode, and immediately complied with every one of Leona's bitchy commands (like giving him a hair ornament to throw away without question, and barely saying anything about it after), even while being humiliated and knowing he was less trained in magic, just comes off more like a trigger response than anything. Especially because I can't imagine that situation not being triggering, and I can't imagine him knowing any other way to respond.

#jamil viper #leona kingscholar #jamil ptsd analysis #twst #this is also why I got so pissed about leona's behavior in that chapter #like I do genuinely like his character. he's one of my favorites and I get where he was coming from #but boy was being ignorant as all fuck #like jamil is so heavily implied to be an indentured servant #and leona could probably buy his whole family #there's no version of 'i know what it's like to feel overlooked. suck it up and work with what you've got' advice #that could benefit Jamil from this guy #because changing your attitude and putting in the work doesn't free you from a situation like that #and I can only assume that coming from a free country in the modern world #Leona just hasn't considered that Jamil would BE in a situation like that. it's not exactly normal #and this is the guy so out of touch he thought Ruggie's home was a doghouse. so I mean. giving him the benefit of the doubt on this #but goddamn was that out of touch. and I just hate how they wrote the conclusion between them #not the intended subject when i wrote this. but tagging it as #leojami #for the small steps crowd in case they get curious about what else i have to say on them?? #i feel like some of the thoughts from this post are gonna be playing into the story

Holy shit the reaction to S4 of True Detective smacks heavily of misogyny

#do not go on the Reddit dear god they hate how much women were the focus in this season #like seriously bitches are trying to claim season TWO was better SEASON TWO #personally I thought it fucking slapped its now my second favorite season of True Detective #just say you can’t handle respect for indigenous women and go #like the double standard is blatant and ridiculous #extrajudicial killing is fine for Marty and Rust but god forbid women do anything #true detective #true detective night country #spilling the Tea

It’s not that I don’t like Rhaenyra it’s just that I find her to be selfish and (sometimes) stupid in opposition to large parts of fandom that refuse to acknowledge these character traits because they don’t fit with their “perfect princess who was usurped for no reason🥺” narrative

#she’s selfish she’s often dumb she wants to violently assert her blood purity dominance over the lords and smallfolk of Westeros alike #I’d be fine with her if we’d just accept her as she is #rhaenyra targaryen #like destroying the country for your children + family + lust for power? #ofc I dig that #my favorite Star Wars character is Anakin 💀 #but fandom can’t hold a complex woman in their heads for anything #so she’s a saint like martyr instead #ugh 🙄🙄🙄 #hotd #anti team black

#i cannot begin to express how grateful i am to no longer be in florida #or how much it means to me have brought the most important pieces of home along with me #my boys #its grounding me watching goldfish find his favorite sun spots #and seeing kovu learn his new routines #i didn't expect the size of this park. you can't see one end from the other. there were TRAILS #Its 15 mins from my house #finding our haunts #finding our rhythm #it's been grounding #moving isnt easy for me #for any of us really #but nobody can bounce back like kovu #little by little I am seeing his love magnify my resilience. my optimism. my love for the world around me. #he's changed me in all the best ways #he is so much a part of me #I love him so much #kovu #never could've moved cross the country by myself without him #my heart and soul #my boy #kovus face #joy is stored in the spaniel #trails #parks #15 MINUTE WALK BY THE WAY. NOT DRIVE. I CAN WALK PLACES NOW

weed vs coke

#hi stefan! he doesn't do coke #he just drinks and takes his anti-depressants together #i am very much feeling his spikey hair like yeah that fits him being a touch unhinged yuka fell in love with that version of him #this is nick dad they alike #he's my fav #he kinda looks like robert if you stare at him long enough....from fallout 4 my favorite video game husband #his voice is deep as hell and he's polish #hates his father for a good reason is the favorite child oldest of five #has two kids because he counts kina as his daughter #the fun uncle #to his neices and nephews he'll give you a beer if you ask #on a serious note he's a very decent dad he wished he could've been a better dad but he's got a lot of stuff going on mentally so he was a #little checked out alot of the time but it got better. #he and kina relationship is my favorite because he really took in two kids at his lowest point in his life from his ex girlfriend who #lived halfway across the country and kinda fucked him over and up and never really got to connect to his kid much until nick was damn near #and he got a random baby girl to look after and he thrived with her honestly kina be like i got two dads #hes a sweet person just been through the wringer a lot #ts4 #simblr #sims 4 #my sims #stefan piotrowski

I love Eberron so much I can't wait to run a dnd campaign in Eberron like this bitch has everything: cold war politics, corporate greed, ambiguous divinities, death cults, a country run by hags, magic integrated into everyday life, a guy whose epithet is fleshweaver, an ubercursed continent, dragons who serve an ancient prophecy that preserved the world but wouldn't hesitate to squash you like a bug, I could go on

Eberron my belovèd

#eberron #Dnd #I love it so much I won't actually dm my first campaign in it because I want to make sure I have enough experience to do it justice #But seriously I think it's my favorite setting EVER #Like in that huge list up there I didn't even manage to hit all the stuff I love about it! #Necromancy! #Manifest zones! #Extremist druid sects! #Evil dream entities and the countries they run! #I could STILL go on!
