Tweek X Craig as an episode changed me as a person and rewatching it now almost ten years later is such a strange feeling that I cannot describe other than a familiar warmth and joy that has not existed for me in a long time. Like seeing my friends art show up on screen and just making me smile. I miss them, and I miss the person I was. When life was simple problems vague. Something something tweek and craig

#am i blinded by nostalgia? maybe #but theres something that really recaptures joy for me every time i come back

#ganymede art tag #been feeling a bit rubbish about art lately #trying to recapture the joy of just doing whatever and seeing how it turns out. I think this one came together nicely

are you okay? you fell off a swing?

yeah and yes >_<

basically the chains had plastic covers on them that keep your fingers from getting pinched and it apparently kept the rainwater from draining for years and so the chains were all rusted out.

got a good swing going and one snapped and i flew off!

i'm just a little bruised, quite sore, and utterly prone to complaining

#answers #this is what i get for trying to recapture the careless joy of youth! O! woe to those in their late 20s! thine bones Will Hurt!

Sometimes you watch things that you thought were great as a kid and it turns out that they’re actually mediocre at best but after rewatching The Girl Who Waited I can confirm that it still almost moved me to tears

actually im feeling a little bit ill over the fact that its actually done now

#long tag ramble ahead #personal #like fuck man when i clicked on my first video (that i then clicked off of) i wasnt even in grade 12 yet and now im in my second year of uni #and it feels like so much has changed but as silly as it sounds. this is one of the things that has kept me grounded through it all #the theorizing the analysis the constant possibility of a lore stream. and now its gone. and ill never see these characters again #im just not used to being into things as they happen i guess. i normally get into long-term media after it ends + this is one of my longest- #lasting interests ever AND it was ongoing the whole time i was into it? yeah its upsetting that its over now. just a little bit #btw this is probably almost entirely because ive really gotten back into it this past week specifically #had this happened a month ago i might not even have watched the streams. but being on break had me thinking about it to an extent i havent #since probably... march? like it felt like 2020 again for me #idk im just being nostalgic. and i want a new big interest but im not ready to move on from this and dont have the time to let something- #-else consume me so ig im stuck longing for december 2020 again lol #really overall though im just happy that this series of streams let me recapture the joy and excitement this smp used to give me again #if only for like... 12 hours

19 - but can I be selfish and ask for the shatter and shimmer universe fic you’ve mentioned? 😊

If not anything works!!!

Hi anon! Of course you can! 😘

19 - Give us a small teaser from one of your WIPs

Well, I've made it obvious through other asks that this is a PWP so fair warning for a tease of explicit content below the cut:

He noticed Pierre sitting on the couch as he entered the living room and their eyes met as soon as he appeared. Charles flushed a bright red and mumbled a hello, walking over to the kitchen to get himself a big glass of water to cool down a little bit.

His hopes were dashed as he heard footsteps behind him and strong arms wrap around his waist.

“Charlito,” Pierre said in a dangerous, sing-song tone, “you think you can come in here, with that pretty blush on your face, your pretty cock all nice and hard, and ignore me?”

Charles could feel the scratch of Pierre’s beard on his neck as one of his soulmates murmured in his ear. His hands were running light trails across his abs and down his hips as he spoke, making Charles dizzy with lust.

“Pierre…I…”

“Shhh, it’s ok, mon amour,” Pierre dipped his hand into Charles’ sweatpants and gave his dick the lightest of teasing touches, “I can tell that you were just getting ready for me to join you. Thank you.”

What does the pre-Fall scene actually mean?

I’ve been thinking about that first scene, with pre-Fall Crowley. We are all swooning over how sweet and innocent Angel!Crowley is, and how smitten Aziraphale is, but on reflection there is something odd about this scene.

The action takes place before the rebellion, before the Fall, when bad things hadn’t even been invented yet. So why is Aziraphale already worried about Angel!Crowley getting into trouble for asking questions? Shouldn’t he also be a cute innocent bundle of fluff without a care in the world?

There is a meta that examines this (sorry, I can’t find it, I’m useless at this), which comes to the conclusion that Aziraphale later on is suffering from guilt (that he might have unwittingly prompted Crowley to seek answers and hence fall), but this still doesn’t explain why Aziraphale knows that asking questions might be a Bad Idea, and Angel!Crowley doesn’t. After all, Angel!Crowley has apparently been working “very closely with Upstairs”.  Shouldn’t he be a bit more clued up?

This leads me to think that there are 2 possible explanations for this.

1. Angel!Crowley has been so far out of things playing with stars that he really is clueless about everything (possible but doesn’t really match up to the Crowley that we know today).

2. This is not a true record of events.

Either: it is one of Aziraphale’s memories, but coloured by what he knows today, so the conversation that actually occurred might have been quite different. Maybe it is because of Aziraphale’s less than perfect recall, or maybe the memory was tweaked (e.g. by the Metatron) to emphasize the innocence of Angel!Crowley and the injustice of his later fall.

Or: IT NEVER EVEN HAPPENED AT ALL. Their true first meeting was as S1, on the walls of Eden, and it is all a false memory planted by the Metatron. (This could also explain why we don’t get to hear Angel!Crowley’s name. It’s not actually known, so can’t be added to the ‘memory’). Why would he do this? It could be to make Aziraphale think that Angel!Crowley was so full of joy that he should be reinstated to recapture that innocence.

There are plenty of theories about the other flashback episodes in the series, all of which could be interpreted as showing off Crowley’s 'good' side, to make the thought of his reinstatement as an angel more plausible or even necessary to right an ancient wrong.

If any or all of this is the Metatron’s doing, what is the motive? He clearly loathes Crowley. Maybe reinstatement as an angel would automatically wipe out his memories of being Crowley and all of his Earthly experience, so you would end up with a cute innocent (and ultimately useless) angel with no memories of his friendship with Aziraphale. Or perhaps it was a way to get him to come up to Heaven where he could be ambushed and imprisoned.

Or maybe the Metatron always knew that the very concept would go down like a lead balloon and that its aim was to make Aziraphale and Crowley part in such a way that they would be less likely to try to contact each other later.

There are so many pieces to this puzzle. Just when I think that a couple might go together I find others that don’t fit with the patterns already made, and which sometimes seem to belong to a different puzzle altogether. I’m sure that I already have 5 corner pieces.
