One of my favorite Stephanie Headcannons is that as she hones her skills and starts becoming more and more equal to the other bats she becomes the most frustrating to spar. Her best skill is her unpredictable and just general little shit-ness and as she gets better it’s near impossible to predict her next move. It’s not even skill it’s just she doesn’t know she’s gonna do next.

I was reminded of this post from my early days on Tumblr, and I'm reblogging it again because I like this outcome better than what happened in canon.

So I'm listening to Fulgrim (the 5th book of the Horus Heresy, not his primarch novel) and there's just... there's just a lot going on here.

This is the only black library novel i've seen that has sex in it and I understand why it scared so many people into thinking that 40k should never even hold hands and no I'm not talking about kinky space marines but rather a scene with the world's most autistic sculptor having the worst "hey want to bone?" speech told to him by a singer character so badly written the audiobook narrator doesn't even take her seriously.

It has scenes more homoerotic than gay sex and so far none of them have involve Fulgrim himself despite the memes. Seriously, they forgot to staple on "My son/my brother" onto half of the scenes like they typically do when they realize they've written romance in Black Library's unique version of "No Homo".

I hinted to it in another post but the first time we ever see the primarch of the Iron Hands he is not just naked but oiled up only to say "you are the soothing ice to my raging fire" in the same scene.

But the thing that's frying my brain is the choice of voices the narrator did. I managed to get past fulgrim being haughty+nasally, the bombast of the HR nightmare of a singer I mentioned above, but let me point to just how sexualized Ferrus Manus is above before dropping the bombshell on you that the narrator is doing an extremely close likeness to Mark Hammil's Joker during those scenes.

This book is meandering and it's the worst of the Horus Heresy so far and probably the worst one I'll finish since I have no interest in Battle for the Abyss, but I have to finish it. It's buckwild in creative decisions and there are small bits that I find fascinating but otherwise it's just everything else that's going on with it that just... this really happened and the audiobook version also was approved like this.

Can’t believe @nightvaleofficial didn’t post this on the Official Dracula site!

[gotyouanyway]

something about the doctor doing his "do you get it" monologue to ruby who's already dead.. the companion as a tool, a vehicle for exposition, a body in the room for the doctor to talk to. that he NEEDS to talk to for the exposition to work

Of course Billy believes that Agatha can control her power.

She has to be able to.

Because if she doesn't - if she can't - after 400 years?

Then how could he ever hope to truly control his?

Are their other villain mutants that were captured by the EPF?

the only mutants from the show that wont show up in the facility are; that goat guy clem, bullhop, fish guy, the dig band, corpse flower guy, piebald (<- she just straight up doesn't exist in residuum actually), and scor-pion

everyone else is either already there, or will be at some point in the future

You know what I'm thinking about today?Season 3 episode 3. SPECIFICALLY the part where the pedo teacher says "If love can be called a mistake" while looking directly at Mickey and Mickey gives a side eye to Ian, clearly uncomfortable. And then he IMMEDIATELY hates himself for thinking that he is in love with Ian, another man, or even considering it as a possibility, so he overcompensates by trying to look Super Straight™ and fucking Angie. Dude. He was so abused and brainwashed by Terry that he had to dismiss the thought that he had feelings for Ian by screwing the first random chick he saw. Like that took anything away. He was fucking terrified. HE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE EVEN WITH HIS OWN THOUGHTS IN HIS OWN HEAD

The thing is, Crowley never says he doesn't want to be an angel again.

When Aziraphale is getting really excited about the prospect of restoring Crowley to full angelic status--"we're having a ball," "perhaps you can tell me while we dance" levels of excited--Crowley isn't over there saying, "How dare you," or "I don't want to be an angel again," or "You don't know me at all," which are all reactions we'd expect... If that's the way he felt.

What he says is, "Heaven is toxic."

Because being an angel again isn't what's holding him back. All Crowley's said for years is, I go along with Hell as far as I can, and I didn't mean to fall, I sauntered vaguely downwards, I was bored at lunch one day, I only ever asked questions, I'm unforgivable. That's all he's said, and that's all Aziraphale has heard, words of regret. And maybe they even talked about it. Maybe they even talked about the parts of Heaven that Crowley misses, in a perfect universe, maybe we could have still been angels together, doing good, isn't it a nice thing to dream, isn't it a nice fantasy?

But the thing that Crowley knows that Aziraphale doesn’t is that this particular fantasy can't come true. You can't make it a reality. But Aziraphale, see, that's where he lives, in the fantasy. Like the cotillion ball, right? He manipulates the humans and ignores the danger to play out his fantasy, and Crowley can only see it going that way in Heaven too: Aziraphale turning a blind eye in favor of delusional happiness while Crowley trails behind him, terrified, hissing that there's danger lurking all around.

Because there is danger in Heaven. Crowley knows. All the demons do.

Sure, it would be nice. Everything safe, everyone safe and restored to who they were before the Fall, doing good as angels are meant to do, without hiding, without trauma, without being afraid. It's a nice fantasy, but it will never happen. Not in Heaven, anyway. Because Heaven is toxic, Crowley has learned that the hard way, and it's a knowledge you can't unlearn with a simple status change.

He doesn't want to unlearn it, anyway. The serpent of Eden is the last person who will choose "ignorance is bliss" over truth.

So I don't think we should fault Aziraphale for wanting Crowley to be an angel with him. For dreaming about the fantasy. Crowley himself has probably even dreamed it.

If Aziraphale has any fault, it's believing that Heaven is the place that can make that fantasy can come true.
