me clicking on a video from the silliest man in the world: teehee what wacky hijinks await me

world renown block clown mumbo Fucking jumbo: you ever think about how old technology seems to live forever in the suspended state of whatever the newest advancements were at the time. how most technology immediately and fundamentally tells you when it was important and when it was left in the dust. it’s suspended in its era forever, and in that it is perfect.

stagnation is a form of death but nostalgia is cruel immortality. still i find myself locked in pursuit of it until i finally stumble across the undeath of the mechanical. as my hard earned improvement truly begins to pay dividends, surrounded by my opus of change, i will freeze myself in eternal utopia. the only way to never die is to preemptively kill whoever you might become. i will not have a grave, i will not be ashes and dust. i will be a perfect, extant machine.

me: Ok. i dont think this will plague me at all actually. like video.

I don't think that Aziraphale was hesitant to shake Crowley's hand-- I think that he was hesitant to shake Crowley's hand in a public place in 1941 London, when it was crawling with Nazi spies. We can see that he was looking over Crowley's shoulder to track where Pat was in the shop. Aziraphale's hesitation was protectiveness. Once satisfied that it was safe enough, Aziraphale happily grasped Crowley's hand in both of his own.

Since Aziraphale left, Crowley has become Mother Hen to the new little angel in the bookshop.

Hard pill to swallow, maybe, but sometimes you are the problem. You may not have been initially, but people around you can only have so much endurance for understanding why you're "like that" and how you got to where you are now. Even if you were the one who was victimized, hurt, or abused to begin with, your behavior affects those around you. There's a point at which personal responsibility needs to kick in, or you will become toxic. You can become toxic even if you never become an abuser yourself. If other people are constantly having to help dig you out of the holes you made but you keep slapping their hands away, you cannot expect them to have an indefinite amount of patience and energy to keep trying. If you're not putting in the work to recover from what damaged you; if everyone else in your life is consistently the only one making a real effort to effect change for you--you're the problem.

Stumbling upon Gillian Anderson's tiktok and seeing pics of her as a young punk made my day so much better

Slightly angsty one beneath the cut!

Fingers crossed you've all recovered from the absolute joy that was DT presenting at the BAFTAs (his kilt is going to fuel a lot of fanfics). Now if we could just see Michael again...

I'm off to have a nice day out with my partner - hope you all have a restful day too 💜

Do you think Aziraphale ever forgives himself

I thought some of my Twitter mutuals would be interested to see this article.

Viola Ford Fletcher, aged 109, just published a memoir 'Don't Let Them Bury My Story' about her experience during the Greenwood/Tulsa Massacre. It will be available for purchase August 15th.

"Her memoir, “Don’t Let Them Bury My Story,” is a call to action for readers to pursue truth, justice and reconciliation no matter how long it takes. Written with graphic details of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre that she witnessed at age seven, Fletcher said she hoped to preserve a narrative of events that was nearly lost to a lack of acknowledgement from mainstream historians and political leaders.

The questions I had then remain to this day,” Fletcher writes in the book. “How could you just give a mob of violent, crazed, racist people a bunch of deadly weapons and allow them — no, encourage them — to go out and kill innocent Black folks and demolish a whole community?”

“As it turns out, we were victims of a lie,” she writes.

Fletcher notes in her memoir just how much history she has lived through — from several virus outbreaks preceding the coronavirus pandemic, to the Great Depression of 1929 and the Great Recession of 2008 to every war and international conflict of the last seven decades. She has watched the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. lead the national Civil Rights Movement, seen the historic election of former President Barack Obama and witnessed the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement."

Aziraphale did it for Crowley

And it was terrifying and it might backfire horribly and it hurts and will haunt the angel to the end of ... eternity, but he loves his demon and so he took the HARDER path.

I did fashion Aziraphale so ofcourse I had to draw our boy anthony janthony as well. idk if he’d wear clothes this loose but I want to believe

it fucks me up that tolkien only died in 1973. dude has the vibe of a victorian scholar who wrote all his manuscripts by candlelight but then you look him up and realise that he knew what color tv was. what the fuck.
