#thrown to the wolves

[wiltking]

finished Thrown to the Wolves and im not sure i liked the execution of this one. the first 1/3 in particular didnt have me convinced. the cast and the focus of the story felt a bit scattered, and only when the mystery got its footing did i start to feel engaged. but i also really enjoy narratives that explore relationships post-'the big get together' and, whew. the drama and stress in that department did not disappoint. my eyes were wide and trembling and there were many startling, gentle, painful, raw paragraphs i had to reread with an imaginary handkerchief pressed to my quivering mouth. truly. i really enjoy reading Cooper's perspective on things, and the actions he takes, and despite having to say this was the weakest book in the series so far (overall) i am hungrily curious to see how this relationship will continue to grow 🤧

There is no gun to his head.

I don't know where that notion came from or why so many people are suddenly convinced it is true, but I rewatched the last episode and especially the final fifteen over and over again and it's not real.

So. Let's have a look at the facts, and I mean facts, as in what we see on screen and what we can generally all agree on happens—no metas, no headcanons, just pure canon.

Aziraphale and Crowley just witnessed Gabriel and Beez go off together. They are free, there are no consequences for them, they left and have no interest in returning.

This tells them two things: Any threats from hell or heaven regarding their relationship are void under the current conditions. Hell is understaffed and dealing with its own problems, and heaven is a mess in a different but equally disabling way. The second thing, or rather the consequences of the first, is that they can do the same.

Let that sink in because so many people seem to completely forget about what that scene signifies outside of being a "relationship mirror". There are no consequences when a demon and an angel go off together. In the end, they weren't stopped, everyone kinda sighed and went well, we have our own problems, so they might as well leave.

Now, when the Metatron talks to Aziraphale, that scene is fresh in his mind, it literally just happened. The threat is gone, he does not want to return to heaven in that moment because he is processing what it means for the two of them.

Then, the Metatron offers him the jackpot: Aziraphale gets to fix heaven—make a difference, as he likes to put it—and have Crowley back as an angel. Aziraphale still thinks heaven is fundamentally good and thus the best place to be; angels, the two of them, how great! All of his moral problems have been solved, and, let me stress this over and over, there is no threat.

The Metatron LITERALLY just proved to him that he won't punish angel/demon relationships—he stopped Michael from punishing them. In Aziraphale's eyes, he is the knight in shining armour, threats wouldn't even be necessary.

Additionally, and I have repeated this so many times it has become tedious, Aziraphale does not know about the second coming. He doesn't. The Metatron tells him in front of the elevator, not a second earlier.

To summarize

he has tangible proof that angel/demon relations won't be punished

the Metatron has proven himself to be an ally and trustworthy

there is no dawning apocalypse

Crowley can come back to heaven with him

In conclusion, every single one of Aziraphale's problems disappears. Threats—threats over WHAT?

Do you really think the Metatron would immediately contradict himself and destroy any tentative trust Aziraphale has? Do you think he would jeopardize the blind fearlessness he develops as soon as he mentions the Crowley part of the deal?

Everyone always calls him an evil mastermind, just to turn around and paint him as the dumbest figure imaginable. He knows what he is doing.

When Aziraphale tells Crowley about the decision he has made for them, his voice is genuinely soft. It's real joy, no hidden messages, no nothing. Have you recently re-listened to it? Because I have.

"He said I could appoint you to be an angel."

That happiness and excitement is real, it just is. I rewatched it over and over and I tried to see any hidden meanings, I really did, but he's simply happy. That's all.

Everyone is completely free to have their own theories, you can disagree with my meta thoughts all you want, that's what fandom is for!

But I am so bloody tired of getting "well, actually there was a gun to his head" on every. single. post. that I make about the final fifteen. There was no gun.

You can put one into the Metatron's hands all you like, but it is not canon. It just isn't.

Knives is such a hypocrite and a liar and he lies most of all to himself and i hate him but i also love it. Bro's so coked up on copium all the time.

Claims to be doing it all for the sake of Plants, then arguably takes away their agency and freedom way more than humans ever could. Claims to be doing it for his brother and literally ruins his brother's life in every possible turn. Claims humanity never learns from their mistakes and it literally takes dying for him to stop doubling down on his bullshit. the medical abuse done unto tesla horrified him so much and yet he is directly responsible to the same abuse being subjected to countless of children.

Given the chance, I would love to be his sleep paralysis demon. i do not think I could fix him, but I think I can drive him to early retirement from super villainy.

#millions knives #trigun #tristamp #trimax #i hate this man but also i adore him #or at least i adore grinding his psyche between my teeth #guy has so much crunch to him #the worst possible man to me i need to ruin his life #i gotta say that when i first got into trigun the overall tone coming from the fanbase did soften me up to get absolutely demolished by #literally all the fucked up things happening all the time #but i see less ppl horrified about the fucked up things knives does to the sisters he claims to be protecting than i expected?? #which idk feels like a waste #also saw someone who said who doesn't like a villain who just wants to protect his sisters and dude if that is what protection looks like #id rather be thrown to the wolves #he is so fascinating to me but also i understand him on a molecular level and thats why i hate him so much but again #crunchy guy #nai saverem #vash's mommy issues have nothing on knives i can prove it ( i cannot but i can infer and i can dream)

Genuinely think that SQQ being a dick to SQH at any possible chance during peak meetings saved a lot of suspicious from the other peak lords. Him being one of those petty online friends but in real life makes all the peak lords just accept that the much nicer SQQ actually is SQQ because look at that! He called SQH a talentless hack of a man and hit him with his fan! It might be more expressive that SQQ was before but the spirit is still the same!! Of course SQH and SQQ both are besties 4ever in this instance but to others it doesnt look like that lmao

#SVSSS #scum villian self saving system #shen quingqiu #Shang Qinghua #I just think that rude friendships look a lot like how the peak lords would expect SQQ qould act like if he didnt like someone #because whil hes no long as closed off and mean to others its still the same person so there must be someone he fucking hates! #Anyway they just think all the anger went to SQH lmao #rip to him basically he gets thrown to the wolves if anything bad happens post canon #because all the peak lords get him to tell SQQ if something bad or annoying happens #Cumplane friendship #I hate that Im tagging that yceiyvequewbuebkewr

Some of you don't understand one bit the difference between "this person genuinely has a shit ass take about canon" and "this person does understand the themes of canon, they're just having fun with an AU" and it shows.

I will be bitchy about the first one but the second one? You know what, not my business. If I hate it, I ignore it, I don't make it a whole deal.

#i'm. not gonna tag this bc i will get thrown at the wolves if i do but geez #leave people alone #bitch about it to your friends if you want. not publicly

Way late to the party but I am still PISSED about how badly Eskel was both done dirty and absolutely wasted as a character in Netflix’s Witcher. They also seemed to realize that they forgot(for non-book readers) to show just HOW MUCH Eskel meant to Geralt so they also threw in that little “flashback” which also did nothing.

Will I ever stop being salty as fuck about that?

Nope. Not a chance.

That killed the show for me. That and how crappy Jaskier is also handled. I didn’t bother with season three.

#one episode #ONE episode is all we got #and he was thrown away like he meant nothing to the damn plot #and to Geralt and how interacting with him helped Ciri evolve as a character #I will also never get over how they took samples from him then just… #threw his body to the wolves #like WTF?!?!?! #wtf is that?! #Eskel #witcher eskel #anti netflix witcher #Netflix Witcher critical #Eskel deserved better #my rants #*cough* I’m good (for now)

i legitimately dont understand why williams would take antonelli this early unless there was a SIGNIFICANT money package from mercedes, enough to pay for all the inevitable crashes. logan crashed as much as he did last year after 3 seasons of f3 and a full season of f2. even if i believe the idea that antonelli is a once in a generational talent etc etc, i dont think theres enough talent in the world to overcome the experience deficit of NO f3 seasons and an incomplete f2 season before getting in an f1 car. that kid is going to bin it just as much as logan if he gets the williams seat, so why put him in it? i've seen him race in f2, he is talented but still sloppy and inexperienced and if the fia let him race before he turns 18 it is going to be a shitshow.

#she speaks #but also like. out of concern for this CHILD i also dont want him to be thrown to the wolves when hes so inexperienced #it WILL be setting him up for failure best believe #f1dump #like it logistically does not make sense for williams to take this kinda risk unless merc is offering tens of millions of dollars
