Crowley like, never eats stuff when he and Aziraphale are on one of their meal dates, so I'm going to go ahead and headcanon that during one of their earlier meals he ordered but never actually ate his food, and Aziraphale was like "you gonna finish that? it's a shame to let such good food go to waste" and Crowley was like "have at it" so now every time they go out together Crowley orders something he knows Aziraphale will like and doesn't eat it on purpose so Aziraphale can have it

#I also don't think aziraphale has figured that out yet #he's well aware that crowley is fine if aziraphale steals his food he just hasn't figured out why crowley orders in the first place #also it's literally so cute #he's just like oh angel cake? mine now #(the idea of crowley having ordered angel cake specifically for aziraphale to eat gets me) #help #they're consuming me at an equivalent rate to aziraphale consuming that ox #good omens #good omens book #aziraphale #crowley #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #food date #martianbugsbunny ships

A Collection Of the Various Grian Auction Items!

(small break just to lessen the impact of this post, it's really just for those curious about things)

I gotta say, my personal favourite is the duck- (BTW, Scar won the auctions for Grian Mugs #3, #7, & #9 lol)

#grian #mcyt #hermitcraft #hermitcraft charity stream #gamers outreach #id in alt text #mod nova #there were two tcg cards but they're the same thing- so just one was fine. #god if I could have gotten Custom Painting 2 I think I would have ascended like the mending book- #not that i could have attempted bidding-

Artists who admit to not knowing small details about their characters and worldbuilding have inadvertently given better advice than any character design post on social media tbh. as fun as it is to come up with what your guys would order from a restaurant or the contents of their backpack or their favorite color I've run into very few people who can leave that stuff in a story (or even leave it offscreen as paratext) without it being distracting and poorly written because it's rarely in service of the narrative. a lot of that is def just down to personal taste, but it feels more like designing characters for a TTRPG

#this goes for books comics screenplays whatever #basically anything except roleplay which demands that kind of fine detail bc maybe you ARE ordering from restaurants #as always you can run into the opposite problem too where your characters are empty vessels #but being online and having tried my own hand at a story as a teenager this feels like the more common roadblock #lighthouse is actually a great example of my ideal balance- the characters are deeply human; it feels like the finer details exist somewher #but they're not text- it's clear no one was thinking about their first memory or favorite dog breed #the focus is on structure and image #you can have it all! #books #films

what do we want?

a canon F/F Gothic romance where both leads are actually, truly, "I enjoy this" feminine-presenting and not just "performing socially expected baseline levels of femininity for her society, but she doesn't REALLY like it and she'd TOTALLY be wearing trousers if she could but she CAN'T so that's why we CAN'T MAKE HER PROPERLY MASC EITHER!!!!"

when do we want it?

fucking yesterday tbh

#like sorry does ANYONE feel represented by that? #at least the masc/masc or masc/fem stories are usually written by sapphists because it's what they're into #I can respect that even while I wish more of My Thing existed #but the whole She IS Fem but She Doesn't LIKE It but She Can't Be Androgynous or Masc Even Though This Is Fiction thing is so played out #not everything is for or about me and that's fine but there was one book I was really enjoying on this level #thinking 'oh hey finally a book where both of the sapphists actually LIKE wearing dresses for a change! cool!' #and then one of them cast an illusion to make herself look like a man and the other one was into it and I was like 'oh. okay.' #(some people like that and that's fine! it just lessened my personal enjoyment of the sex scene in question!)

Bro I hate fundamentalists and culturally-fundie parents they'll say shit like "spare the rod spoil the child am I right haha yea my parents used to have to beat my ass with a switch almost everyday but I sure did learn my lesson" but like??? no you didn't??? you were hit multiple times for something you very obviously did not, in fact, learn

Like studies about how harmful even lightly spanking children is aside, you're literally contradicting yourself?? Some even admitted they got worse as they got older cause they wanted to see how far they could push their parents before they got punished

And studies not aside, you're gonna get child raising advice from the same book that tells you to stone your wife if her hymen doesn't break on your wedding night instead of the decades of research we have now?? Just say you're a bad parent and move on my guy. Skill issue

#bro I had a coworker go 'unpopular opinion I think some kids really do need beatings' and I'm like???? #unprompted???? what's going on there???? #well anyways I ended up going 'yea so I plan on specializing in play therapy with autistic children so I've been learning about talking #to children and the ways their parents and environment affects them' #and they're like hmmm but beating this kid with a stick after they broke something or I upset them to the point of yelling is good actually #had a boss say it taught him and his kids respect cause they were hard-headed #and I'm like?? that's fear not respect! they fear punishment! they do not act out of respect for you! #he's a conservative christian black man tho so he's like 'But Authority!' like bro I don't even respect you what are you on about #'You don't respect police and their authority?' Nope! I fear them! I do not respect cops and every cop/cop-adjacent person I personally know #has reinforced that for me #'We'll agree to disagree' Cool! Doesn't mean you're not wrong! I could believe trees aren't real but that is in fact incorrect #then he pulled out the bible verse and I was like ah okay I forgot you like 'here's how to treat slaves' book you're so right bestie #I'm totally wrong now and so sorry for doubting you and your 2000+ year old book I don't believe in <3 #They'd go 'well I turned out fine!' then say something that directly contradicts that #anyways I need christians to get their grubby little hands off the current state of Child Protection and Rights in the U.S. #So we can actually start working on helping kids without the force of christian hands suffocating them #cause homeschooling and child raising by evangelicals are so fucked up bro I'm tired of this shit #I'd only stay in my current state to help children get out of that cycle since I'm in the bible belt #ex christian #religious trauma #child abuse tw

im so glad empanada, even after a tough day, got to have that talk and hug with richas and then bagi where em got some lovely advice about dealing with grief from richas & talked about what went wrong during the day

but i can't help but contrast this with sunny. sunny who empanada still hasn't seen. sunny whose been alone for days. sunny whose talked with almost no one. sunny who doesn't know bad is dead. sunny whose pretending tubbo isn't dead. sunny who got no goodbye. sunny who got no long talks about grief. sunny who got no explanations. sunny who no one visited today. sunny whose birthday is tomorrow. sunny who no one will wake up for first tomorrow

#qsmp #qsmp sunny #qsmp empanada #it's giving em and sunny being separated so long post em's first death #but also 50 times worse #they're sisters your honour they should be together #idk if sunny and leo will have talked off stream or not #but presumably she's done something with her mystery friend #we are for sure going to get angst from sunny tomorrow if only someone stays long enough to see it #also off topic but i think the em interaction with mike was fine #yes he clearly wasn't successful in cheering her up but she seemed to appreciate the attempt #even if it probably left her feeling a little like her feelings were her fault for not being able to cheer up #and he did apologize for barging into her room and left #i don't think he's in her bad books at all #she could definitely tell he cared and she was much more visibly frustrated with bagi #which they luckily had some resolution over #me once again writing one post in the text and another in the tags lmao

Very important conferences.

#witch hat tag #orufrey #some real serious discussions goin on in this atelier today. dont u doubt it. #agott is the only one who has ever thought about this because she is a 12 year old lesbian and UMM..FRIEND? LIKE FRIEND? IS THAT..LEGAL??? #this is all i drew today because silly things like this take hours lol. at least it's practice for poses -_- #i got the pattern of the girls' dresses wrong but i couldn't be bothered to change halfway through. #don't worry if you're like what is the naakiwan downs. is that name even mentioned in the main manga #ANYWAY i KEEP thinking about what if it's actually banned for professors and watchful eyes to date like that would make a lot of sense. #like maybe it should be banned. SO??? are they just low-key Aware of what the deal is and they're just Putting their feelings aside #until graduation??? take my tassel as an unspoken reminder of how i feel?? living together trial period?? this feels like it's truly it #When we're free to be together........ Sensei loves homophobia parallels without there actually being homophobia #Let's invent reasons why men cant be together. Ummm well whatever. i'm screaming in my head but it's fine. #this will probably form the theme of my orufrey for a while. i've thought of this before but for some reason today it's big for me. #i guess the tassels might not specifically be a part of that since they exchanged them before tower of books #and qifrey made his mysterious decision to be a teacher after that and..well whatever. I need more of backstory and just..everything? #But i also don't mind when vinanna interrupts my wishes with just a chapter of just being really dreamy? I love witch hat?

[normal-thoughts-official]

listen. yes it's pretty frustrating but i think it's so funny how they had aerin be an official LI, made his route fuck so hard even previous haters wanted to fuck him, and then had him dip in the same chapter that he had sex with MC for the first time. and then he's just been gone like it never happened for 9 chapters and counting. like i know ill get death threats for this but i genuinely think this was one of choices' funniest moves. what was going through their minds. 10/10 no notes

#u ppl need to chill tho like guys he was only present in like 3 chapters in book 1..... #i get that u stan and miss him and that's fine but some ppl are acting like pb OWES you a book-long aerin route and they really dont 😭 #also it's not over yet. they're in whitetower and recruiting allies so aerin will probably be back soon #still funny tho #playchoices #blades of light and shadow #bolas #bolas2 spoilers #anyway this is reparations. for once the white male LI is being sidelined and the main LIs are either nonhuman or brown #overflowing trashcan

[gigamuffin]

im gonna preface this by saying i love master and commander (the movie) we all know this but im also its biggest critic why are all the posters for this movie so bad?

#that last one is fine but come on!! #especially compared to the book covers. i ABSOLUTELY understand that book covers and movie posters are meant to convey different things #but at least give me like. a limited edition thats good just something please they're so ugly!! #its just. its because they got russell crowe at the peak of his career and they HAVE to show it off #and ALSO they're all oddly blurry #and personality i dont like the eye contact this poster is making with me #look a talking muffin

I'm like, actively not looking forward to the next episode because I know what's gonna happen but let me just say

I have not seen a single show only fully grasp the situation that Egwene is in right now and the sheer hopelessness and horror the situation. I am kinda looking forward to seeing them figure that out

#I think its fine that they don't fully get it I will say #because the next episode is so clearly gonna make people get it based on the teaser alone #so I think the way information is trickling in is affective for the most part #but not seeing people understand how fucked Egwene is is sure something #people being like 'oh she's gonna escape. oh she might get roughed up a bit but she'll probably learn stuff from them to use against them' #like yall #yall really don't get the sheer torture my girl Egwene is about to go through or the the fact that escaping on her own is literally impossi #and the fact that the only people who can help her now will very easily be put in the exact same situation the second they're caught #its FUCKED in here #wheel of time #wot on prime #wot show spoilers #wot book spoilers #egwene al'vere

Listen! Tharn has horrific trust issues and doesn't trust anyone, not just Phaya okay!

Like he clearly doesn't even trust Yai and the Abbot because of his issues! Because yes he knows Yai, basically his brother, believes Phaya would rather die than hurt Tharn so much he flat out told Phaya he can't die cause he already gave him Tharn to protect. And yes he knows the Abbot, who raised him, has continuously told him he needs to fully trust Phaya will take care of him. But he has trust issues okay! Those just don't go away! He can't just trust Phaya okay!

Though he does trust Chalothon and thinks he's a good guy. Even when he knew about Phaya's dreams that only Tharn knew about and basically accused Phaya of losing his mind, clinically, in front of everyone at their work at a crime scene. But it obviously makes complete sense he trusts him implicitly and never questions anything cause he's known him his whole life! That's not something you can just throw aside for some boyfriend, soulmate or not, you know!

But then, wait...why doesn't he trust Yai and the Abbot the same?

But I'm glad he knows Chalothon is the problem now. Sucks for him about everything because of it. Hope it works out for him in the one remaining episode. Don't really care either way anymore regardless.

#the sign #the sign the series #the writing hasn't been good for awhile #the story hasn't been cohesive for almost as long #the romance has not been portrayed well at all #besides to tell us they're fated soulmates that spent one past life together #(I know the book mentions other lives but as I've said beore the book is not the show #and if you have to fill in holes and backstory with the book that means the show is a piss poor adaption sooo #we're back to it's bad writing) #this show is surviving on the strength of the chemistry of Billy and Babe #and the skill of all the supporting characters nailing their roles #which is fine I've watched a lot of bad but entertaining shit in my day #truthfully I like that most #but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills the way this show is being praised as perfect #because ummm #this is only friends all over for me so maybe I just don't get shit IDK lol #regular clyde

I remember being so distraught when we thought Hirotsu and Gin died, and then when it's revealed that Tachihara was the perpetrator, i was literally like "nvm theyre fine. That's his family, he wouldn't kill them no matter what" and i was right.

#i was on the fence about him going back to the mafia‚ but i KNEW that he would never kill Hirotsu and Gin #Tachihara's entire character is based on family ties and loyalty. he loved his brother so much‚ he joined the mafia to get revenge for him #even if he hated being compared to him. and this was YEARS prior to the series #the Black Lizard squad IS his family. even if he didn't plan it when he first infiltrated the mafia #and their family bond is even brought up in an omake‚ when the squad has to take care of a baby during the Moby Dick attack #so when it's revealed that Tachihara was behind Hirotsu/Gin's wounds‚ i was immediately like ''oh they're fine'' #bc they're his family. he even keeps the hunting dogs at arms length‚ and doesn't treat them like he treats the black lizard squad #which is something that I noticed pretty quickly when reading the manga #he gets mildly annoyed at Teruko but doesn't like. actually DO anything about it #meanwhile he and gin get annoyed at each other and immediately point weapons at each other and act like delinquents #he and gin bicker and fight more like siblings than gin and her ACTUAL brother #anyway sorry for the rambling in the tags. i love tachihara‚ i love that he's the first to break the rules of the Book‚ i love his loyalty #i love his silly bandaid and his unnecessarily complicated revenge plot that his brother would definitely sold him for #bsd #bsd tachihara #tachihara michizou #bsd 4 #bungo stray dogs #bungou stray dogs
