who is going to write the essay about hua cheng's love and devotion making his life and ghost city all the more bright and rich and colorful lucky red while he xuan's hatred and dedication to revenge leaves his life and black water demon lair all the more dark, empty, and unfulfilled, much like an empty stomach

#keri chats #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #hua cheng #he xuan #this is a v surface level comparison. both are obv similar (the degrees of their respective obsessions + violence etc.) #but i find them honestly fascinating allies/friends who are as similar as they are different #i really wanna reread the books just to look closer at their interactions gjkldsflk

You know idk if it's just me being oblivious af but mxtx sure does enjoy putting her protags through the trolley problem when it comes to her works huh /j

#mdzs #mxtx #i say this not to be critical but because she really does prove how time and again #people want a scapegoat and an easy target to blame #and so much of her work is abt proving how faulty these philosophical absolutes are--nothing is that simple. #literally the arguments made to put everything on wwx (at least for now) appear to be faulty at best #i mean sure sometimes he puts his foot in his mouth but like ;;;;;;;; the kid is just doing his best wtf #everyone out here like WWX IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU except for lwj and i'm just like #1. hes literally like 16 yrs old or smth #2. whether or not he stepped in during the cave scene was kind of a non-question?????? #the wens were so clearly going to engage in egregeious violence regardless of the rationalizations that came after #pointing fingers is legitimately pointless and fallacious logic #if mianmian wasnt targeted theres really no guarantee smth similar wouldnt have happened #furthermore working tg and refusing to play by wens' rules was p much the only feasible option #lwj was young and afraid and had lost so much but he still had enough clarity to insist on working tg #i also really love what he said abt suffering bc its just true. #the way he claps back to his uncle by saying that nobody would be spared violence and atrocity #the only choice they had was to try to band tg and mitigate the dmg--basically 'war is hell' #i find it such a stark and lovely contrast to the common perception of others abt him #that lwj stands alone and thinks of no one else; quite the contrary #he's v self-contained and v disciplined but he's not indifferent to suffering or apathetic #i think so much of the natural love that blooms between wwx and lwj is rooted in their mutual desire to do good #wwx wants to help--he loves to see people smile. he would do anything to protect the ppl he loves #lwj is honestly the same--he's just more abt structure and stability #wwx is more spontaneous and more attuned to the people around him #im a little shocked that people werent able to tell lwj was just as obsessed with him #just bc wwx is loud and mischievous about his interest doesnt really???? to me mask the ways lwj is so responsive. also i ???????? #still don't understand the mental gymnastics of madame jiang insisting it was all wwx's fault when she literally targeted wen's mistress -> #in retaliation???????????????? all this 'pick your battles what the fuck is wrong with you wwx' and she goes and instigates their wrath?? #i mean idk fellas i was just sitting there like 'you could have handled this so many ways and you picked the TNT option. wat.'

@bowiepens liked this post for a starter !! ft. diana xiao ( she/her ) - au pair ( assassin )

"sorry, i went ahead and made myself at home." she's not sorry at all, and that much is clear by the way she's already strewn on one of their sweaters and used a few puffs of their perfume. "this board you've got is really in depth i mean.... i don't think even i track my movements this carefully."

#i mean u KNOW i'm a killing eve bitch this is giving v much hired assassin bordering on serial killer bc she has !! anger issues !! #but she's obsessed w/ the detective/analyst/even just someone who's really invested in her case as a fan of true crime #and she's been following them/leaving them ~ gifts ~ but this is probably the first contact she's actually made #she just loves how much attention they're paying to her and honestly ?? so relatable #( int/ diana xiao. ) #bowiepens #( 1/2 )

i was just talking about my favorite professor from undergrad who taught me queer lit?? and so i decided to email her to catch up and in the middle just dropped the bomb that i’ve since come out as bi and i spun it as a joke and was like “haha if i could go back in time i’d probably write a v different final essay for your class!!”

anyway i am literally shaking lol why did i do that 😂😂

#i loved her i definitely had a baby queer crush on her and just did NOT understand what was happening #she was this tiny butch lesbian who was like a head shorter than me and was just #so cool and i loved hanging out and talking with her #and once we had a v awkward late night convo at like??? 1:30AM when she emailed me asking me to stop by her office #and it was basically her fretting if i’d skipped out on her office hours one day bc of any perceived feelings on her part #which was not the case i skipped out on the hours bc i had pulled a procrastinator asshole move and not read the book yet #anyway i got v flustered bc i was trying to lie about having not read the book #and i think she got v flustered bc she was worried that i was some straight girl having a panic moment about her #(to this day i don’t know if she DID have feelings and that’s why she was worried?? or if she was just concerned i was misunderstanding) #(i can honestly say my mind had never gone there at that point) #(but i CAN say for years now I’ve been like ‘ok but??? DID SHE??’ mainly bc. again. i was OBSESSED with her ) #kat is bi

hi, i saw your post about grigori angels and was wondering why this disproves the kokabiel and baraquiel!crowley theories? sorry if this has been asked before, or it's obvious!

hey anon, nothing to be sorry about!!

i wouldn't necessarily say the fact kokabiel and baraquiel are grigori disproves the theory, if only because we don't know how the grigori story fits into the good omens canon- and playing fast and loose with the bible stories is always an option so it's still a possibility, just an unlikely one if we follow the orginal biblical canon; as the grigori arrive much later on, and their 'fall' is not the same one as we see with 'lucifer's angels'

regardless, the grigori are fascinating to consider- especially in the gomens universe! they're unique amongst angels, and still vastly different from demons- the only ones who well and truly get humans

i'll start by quickly sharing the grigori lore, then bring it back to crowley

The Grigori

the grigori are detailed in the book of enoch, and their time is after eden, after the beginning. with sin now being an option for humans, the grigori were created and sent to earth to understand human behaviour

their name translates to 'the watchers'. an apt title for their role: watchers over humanity. the reason for this is debated, but fundamentally we come down to the important fact that the grigori, with their unique position as Watchers, understood humans better than any other angel- which was the whole point. why humans sinned, and how to influence them towards virtue and faith while still allowing humans to maintain their free will.

then, things began to change. the grigori started to interact with humans, taught us of technology and knowledge that we would soon discover ourselves. they later began to marry humans. they copulated with humans- from this, we had the nephilim. i don't need to reiterate how that particular tale ends. at least, not for the nephilim.

The Second Fall

here's the fun part. at least, in the context of talking about 'Fallen Angels'

in the eyes of god, the grigori had left their place of belonging, heaven, in favour of humans and earth. for this act, they were to fall.

except, the grigori didn't fall. at least, not in the sense we tend to define falling.

jude, verse six, outlines as much. 'and the angels that kept not with their first estate but left with their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgement of the great day'

it would be more accurate to say the grigori were cast out, that they are in 'time out'- for they were not stripped of their grace, nor did they fall to hell/become demons as lucifer's angels did. instead their punishment is to spend the rest of their years on earth, until the day of judgement. for all intents and purposes they are still angels, just not yet allowed back into heaven.

(when we consider that the grigori had already been living on earth, amongst humans, there's something to be said for wondering if this is really a punishment at all. god really fumbled the bag on that one, or maybe it was intentional. the grigori tale is full of interesting debates!)

from what i gathered, this event is [colloquially] referred to as 'the second fall'. it happens after the original fall, the better known one. a long time after- given the grigori are after eden.

the important takeaways about the grigori come down to this: they are unique amongst angels for understanding humans, they are the parents of the nephilim, and they 'fell' from heaven- but not in the same way

Fitting with Good Omens/Angel!Crowley theories

if we're following the biblical canon here, crowley couldn't have been kokabiel or baraqiel for they are both grigori. they didn't fall with lucifer, not as the-angel-that-crowley-was did. by the time of kokabiel and baraquiel, crowley the demon already existed.

the grigori came after the beginning, once humans had already left eden. their 'fall' is referred to as the 'second fall', nevermind the fact that they didn't really fall at all. the grigori aren't in hell, they aren't demons- they're still angels. contrastingly, crowley fell, and very much is a demon- he's part of the first [real] fall, one of lucifer's angels. let's also remember that a very important part of the grigori story is how they fell for, and into bed with, humans- and procreated with them. somehow, this isn't something i envision for the-angel-that-was-crowley

this said, crowley (and aziraphale) were definitely about on earth during the time this was happening. they witnessed the flood themselves (the incident designed for the purpose of destroying the nephilim, the offspring of grigori and humans), and i'm sure at least aziraphale would have heard about the 'second fall', if not also crowley along with the rest of hell (also, imagine how pissed you'd be if you took a million-light-year dive into sulphur, came out a demon of hell, only for these 'watcher angels' to also be called fallen, when all they did was get put in time out for several millenia. the unfairness has to sting)

i like to imagine crowley had a form of healthy tolerance-bordering-appreciation for grigori angels- they value humanity's free will, shared knowledge with humans that often centred on creative and technological developments, even when this meant punishment by god

what makes the grigori so interestingly unique is their understanding of humans and what may drive them to sin. it's a skill that even aziraphale, with his appreciation for humanity, hasn't quite grasped yet

i don't think we'll ever actually see the grigori in good omens, since they're not too widely known of, but they fit so perfect to the good omens theme of discussing human morality and behaviour that we see debated by crowley and aziraphale. they'd both have very different, very strong, feelings about the grigori and their fate- which is fun to think about

#ask #i am fascinated by grigori if it isn't obvious enough asdf i'm s o r r y for that #i definitely deviated from the original point #good omens #crowley #angel!crowley #i called them grigori wayy more than 'the watchers' here but they're called 'the watchers' more often in theology/also the bible #i just prefer 'grigori' #it sounds nicer #please please p l e a s e talk to me about the grigori bc obsession doesn't quite cover it #also what i love so much about the grigori is how you can interpret that story and it's implications in so many different ways #i'd l o v e to write something for this but honestly i'd be too invested and it would be too long so i am choosing ~peace~ #ohhh also also when you remember the grigori side it brings a whole new level of angst to the mysopotamia/noah's ark time period- #for both crowley and aziraphale!! #oh the brainworms are brainworming #i'll never stop thinking about this

The trip so far had been ... tense, in the best of terms. An anxiety had been looming over Hibiko since she was talked into accepting the invitation and it had only gotten worse the closer it came to reality. Rhodri was set to join after a few days to help the kids with his parents first, so Gabriele was nominated escort in his place, and just keep an eye on things. For once, it wasn't something Hibiko was arguing against.

“Shit,” whispered grumbling once The Queen finally looked down at her lap, realizing the amount of nail polish she had picked off in her stress. They were only just getting off the plane, having to brush the shavings off of her skirt. She didn't trust Edo anymore, nor her own judgment of the city and its people.

The current King and Queen were lovely, she still got cards and gifts from some members of the court, and her presence was obviously welcomed, but she still felt seen as a princess, an ignorant, blind child. There was a determination in the trip to prove otherwise, though knew it was dangerously easy to slip into being seen as paranoid as she truly was. Her senses were heightened, carefully examining everything she could just to try and gauge if she could trust its legitimacy or not.

Now she was away from her safety net, a comfortable distance away from the lies she so joyfully ate up. Only the barrier of driving to her old home stood in her way, and all there was to hope for was some unforeseen car issue to help delay the inevitable. The car door closed behind her, feeling her world slowly collapse in on itself, Hibiko's breath was getting more shallow as she felt her grip starting to loosen.

Gabriele started the car and hadn't been sitting long before, “For fuck’s sake Gabriele, how long do I have to sit in this humidity before you turn on the air conditioning?”

#hopefully this is cool! if you want me to go further back or pull forward whatever is cool #distopea #v: the future held hope }a stalking shadow #honestly I'm not even positive where this thread is going explicitly but i love exploring the idea #maybe we'll need to talk about npc's 🤔 #all i know is hibiko is obsessed with him right now and she needs to get out of my head
