Crowley in the bookshop

Took a break from needlepoint, and drew this...ink, watercolor, and gouache on toned paper.

Being an American right now is so fucked up. Like hi I'm living my life. I'm gay. I'm doing great. My government is trying to take away my human rights. I can vote but it might not do anything because of gerrymandering. Sometimes people here deliberately spread deadly viruses because Freedom. We're told this is the best country in the world. I can't escape. I don't want to leave. I want to escape. I love the land itself. The government is like five steps from actively trying to kill me. We have brand new lawmakers who better understand the will of the people. The highest court in the nation is rigged to side with fascists. I'm graduating soon and I have an incredible life ahead of me. My planet is dying.

What the hell do I even do, man

Ok but do Merry and Pippin and Frodo have jobs? Or are they just? Chilling?? Like Sam is a gardener obviously, but what the fuck do the others do? I get that theyre Rich Kids(TM), but what do they do all day?

I’m a pacifist like institutionally but I’m absolutely certain that violence solves at least some problems on a much smaller level. I don’t believe in wars or nuclear weapons or military campaigns I do believe in the power of that guy who punched the nazi in the face so hard his entire media presence immediately crumbled to dust

“You never pretended to be a bride when you were a little girl?” No???? Like literally never?

I can't remember if I made a post a year ago about Pippin (my eldest, ginger cat, at a glorious 14 years) getting quite ill and almost being put down. We thought it was her kidneys (wasn't) and tests revealed she wasn't dying, and then there was an ultrasound that was misinterpreted as a pancreatic lesion (wasn't), until finally figuring out it's pancreatic gastritis. The vet wanted to keep her the weekend sedated with medicine and a feeding tube, but when we looked it all up, turns out that still usually leads to death in elderly cats about a week after.

So we told them to fuck themselves and D sorted out our own treatment for her, refined over time, ofc.

A year, a move, and more later, here she is. Our beautiful dark lady of snuggles, she who is sometimes cranky but always, always sweet, and forever loved. She's not just alive - because sometimes keeping a pet alive is just selfish. No, she is alive, and she is happy, and she can still cat.

If nothing else good came of this time of year, this would be enough.

This bit about Dog on page 141 is, as far as I’m concerned, actually about Aziraphale and Crowley’s love for humanity. “Form shapes nature. There are certain ways of behavior appropriate to [humans] which are in fact welded into the genes. You can’t just become [human]-shaped and hope to stay the same person; a certain intrinsic [human-ness] begins to permeate your very being.” Of course Aziraphale and Crowley have been getting more human as time’s gone on because they’ve been around real humans who have shown them how and they’ve been an influence on each other, but there’s also just something about appearing to be human that makes them more so, as well.

This might only appeal to like… two people, but oh well, Dark Crystal Good Omens AU!

Here we have urZi (the Guardian), a mystic, and skekRo (the Tempter), a Skeksis. Each are half of the same urSkek, split apart by the Crystal. They’re on opposite sides, but neither exactly complies with the respective philosophies of the Mystics and Skeksis. They spend many trine on Thra among the Gelfling, and eventually they get to know each other.

very cool how the gender binary in the emerging trad terf synthesis is like, there are two genders, the one that does bad things and the one that bad things are done to. the only thing in the world is immorality and it flows from unexperiencing agents to unacting experiencers.
