#And reset for a while

[sl33py-g4m3r]

idk what I wanted, did i get lucky?

restarted my animal crossing new horizons game~~ and idk if I got lucky or not ~~

didn't know what layout I wanted or where I wanted anything; as I generally never know what I'm going for in an island at this point... especially for theming~~~

named it: ❤️rosewood❤️ so I’m guessing maybe cottagecore theme? It’s always madness and I’ve never themed an island so this will be different ~~ i don’t usually theme and just scatter stuff everywhere it feels like, lol. I need to learn to plan better ~~

my longest running one I had during covid when the game launched and I've sadly never played a file for that long ever again....

I hope to have this one for a long time~~~ and I think I can diagonal bridge~~~

native fruit is oranges tho, and secondary is cherries.... wanted peaches dang it~~~ aside from the fruit mom gives you, and coconuts, is there any way of getting another fruit without trading or anything? I don't have nintendo switch online anymore as it lapsed at the beginning of the month cause I wasn't using it.... and my sibling isn't into animal crossing at this point~~

Whether I’m gonna terraform idk~~~ I flattened one of them and it was a lot of work~~~ tried to make a layout but didn’t know what I wanted after flattening so gave up~~

I hope this doesn’t happen again ~~

then there’s the hunt for blue roses~~~ 😮 here we go again~~ at least roses are selling at nooks cranny but dang~~~

not speedrunning the beginning again or anything else cause I think that burned me out before~~~

I like this one tho cause the resident services is kinda far from the airport, and the north beach is unobscured by cliffs and isn’t in the middle~~~ that annoys me so much to have the north beach in the middle somewhere ~~~

and maybe I can finally diagonal bridge without having to terraform my own~~~ which I have problems doing tbh~~~ but it’ll be a long time before I even get there if I play super casually…

and hopefully every day~~~ once again~~~ like I played daily when during covid… this game released at such a good time~~~ or I probably wouldn’t be into animal crossing sadly ~~~

hoping to keep this one for the long term~~~

questions~~ can you obtain 3 kinds of fruit, aside from coconuts in a single game?? Native fruit, sister fruit, and one from mom?

sibling says that they found a third type of fruit aside from coconuts, of fruit, or the one mom gives you, but I’ve never had this happen ~~ 😞

also I don’t think my western beach has rocks~~?!? Aside the rocks at the northern side~~~ never had that happen before ~~~ there are always rocks on all the beaches ~~ how~~?

i know supernatural is the show of missed opportunities but man. the trials really get to me - what a perfect way to reboot and reset this show that you're artificially extending for ratings. it could have been really, really good, actually

so the trials of god is a way for someone to gain the ability to seal the gates of hell and the gates of heaven

they have the translation for hell, they know that slamming the gates of hell shut means calling all the demons back home and locking the key. it's logical, then, to for them to believe the same is true of the one for heaven - that it calls all the angels back home and locks them away where they can't do any more damage

peace, for the people of earth, outside of the influence of angels and demons. that's got to be worth it, right?

so while sam is completing the hell trials, they get the angel tablet, kevin gets translating, to figure out the angel trials. or maybe metatron helps nudge them along to figuring it out, since him being the big bad here isn't really relevant and they are in a bit of time crunch

canon doesn't tell us what the heaven trials are, except that the first one involves a ritual using the heart of a nephilim. they make it sound like they're carving it from their chest, but what i would do is

have a nephilim offer you their heart from their chest (gain their loyalty in a binding ceremony)

create grace from freshwater (there is no rain that falls anywhere on earth that is safe to drink and god said let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters)

find a human soul to guide you to heaven (babel fell but the stairway was built and those with wings have no need of stairs)

so sam is in the midst of the hell trials when dean sort of accidentally on purpose completes the first heaven trial and then the brothers are on parallel train tracks heading in the opposite direction

sam works to close the gates of hell

dean works to close the gates of heaven

demons and angels both working to stop them

sam completes the trials. he restores crowley's humanity and he dies and the gates of hell are closed

but that's not the end

metatron says they can close the gates if they're willing to pay the price. canon says the price is sam's death, but frankly that doesn't make any sense. what's the death of one human against the horrors of hell? and remember, metatron doesn't know the winchesters. maybe another angel would make this comment, knowing how the winchesters have weighed the safety of the world against their brother and left the world out to dry, would think this a price worth warning for. but metatron wouldn't bother, wouldn't even think of it, if that was the only price

the gates of hell close and malevolent spirits explode across the globe, evil spirits and angry ghosts causing death and destruction everywhere

hell serves a function and now the gates are closed and every evil human soul is forced to stay on earth, causing as much destruction as it can

that's the price for closing the gates of hell

except. except. aren't the hell trials interesting?

kill a hellhound. rescue an innocent soul and return it to heaven. purify a demon and restore their humanity.

the trials are not to prove if someone is worthy of closing the gates of hell. it's to prove they're capable of setting hell to rights

the trials are if things got too out of hand, if things were taken too far, and hell had to be put back in it's place. sam dies and ends up exactly where azazel wanted him - ruler of hell. all the demons and souls are trapped with him and what he has to do, while he has them all there, while they can't escape, is exactly what he did to get there

he kills the hellhounds, leaving only those meant to patrol hell. he releases every innocent soul bound there. he purifies the demons one by one, who he either releases as innocent souls or who to pledge to do their job as demons of hell - punishing evil, containing evil - in penance for what they did before (how do i even begin to make up for what i've done, crowley had asked, and this is the answer)

meanwhile, dean, heartbroken, completes the heaven trials and dies

and the gates of heaven slam shut and all the angels are stripped of their grace and expelled from heaven and dean finds himself in charge of an empty heaven

the trials are for when things have gone too far and heaven must be rebuilt, after all

good souls pile up, no one who dies able to truly leave earth, and given enough time they become twisted things that must be hunted along with the spirits of evil men and women who cause chaos from their last breath

dean has work to do. he has one angel - the nephilim whose loyalty he earned in the first trial - and this is what he has to do. he recruits more, to replace the ranks, he creates grace and hands it out judiciously. he sends them to guide the good souls home, using the stairway that the former angels wouldn't be able to use even if they wanted to, and each good act and deed earns them a little more grace. former angels throw themselves into the fight for humans, because they know it's the only way that dean will return their grace to them and lift them back into heaven

and in fighting for them, in living like them, they learn to love these creations of their father that they'd despised. they see what he saw and the thought of destroying this place in a civil war becomes unthinkable to them. they are once more the angels god intended them to be

in this, dean and sam fulfill their destiny as lucifer and michael's vessels. not in letting them in, but in pushing them out, in doing the work each was intended for but refused

only when there is only evil human souls being punished and caged, only once the demons are once more working to run hell and earn their release to heaven, does sam reopen the gates of hell

only when there's a full choir of angels once more, committed to their cause, only once there are souls working with reapers as it once always was, does dean reopen the gates of heaven

they're called the god trials for a reason. above and below, sam and dean act as god, putting things back in their intended places

they could stay. they should stay. keeping house, making sure it all goes smoothly, eternally keeping earth safe from angels and demons both

they're called the god trials for a reason. not even god could resist the paradise inbetween that he'd created

dean doesn't know if sam is going to return to earth. he might stay in hell, and if dean becomes human once more, then what's the point? he'll live and die a human, get stuck in heaven, and be forever separated from the brother he loves

sam doesn't know if dean is going to return to earth. he migh not be able to, might be stuck doing his work - sam assumes if the hell trials did this to him, then the heaven trials did the same to dean, and the idea that dean could have failed the heaven trials after he dies doesn't even cross mind. if he returns and dean's not there then he loses it all, he never again gets to see the brother he loves

but when, exactly, haven't they been willing to risk everything for each other?

dean falls as lucifer fell, throwing himself towards earth

sam rises as michael did after the fall, pulling himself towards earth the same way michael once pulled himself to the top of heaven

what's the use of being a god without his brother, after all?

dean and sam are reunited on earth, human once more

no more angels, no more demons, heaven and hell functioning once more as they should. we're back to basics, a clean slate, all of the rest remade and set aside by their own hands (it's literal and a metaphor, the way the show could have remade itself with the trials, after setting aside kripke's plan while at the same time recognizing that the design of it - two brothers who love each other going across america and fighting evil - is the thing that made it worth watching to begin with) and now it's them again, brothers forged in blood and sacrifice and love, and a new appreciation for the humanity they gave up and returned to

and then we get my beloved monster of the week with no stupid too high stakes, convoluted bullshit involved, beyond the occasional angel who dean refused to reinstate and demon tracking down miscreant souls and, every once in a while, a person or creature or something in between squinting at them and going - weren't you two gods?

nah, they say, all corn fed grins and the dimples their momma gave them, we're brothers

Take the fanon interpretation of Primo as a parentified but well-meaning older brother trying his best; and the canon of Primo being fucking off the rails and messing with dark magic for shits and giggles; and you'll have Primo putting an eight-year-old Terzo in the middle of a pentagram while insisting this is exactly how you cure someone of their chronic hayfever. Now stop moving, if that blood smears then year-round allergies will be the least of our problems --

So I'm still thinking about this and wondering who exactly is reseting time. Cause like, I think there are three timelines at least. We know two.

Timeline 2. The one we first saw. The 'present'.

That is the future of this version of 1999. This is 1999 - Timeline 2 ⤵

Then the first reset we witness brings him back to a different timeline in 1999. Timeline 3 and the one we will watch from now on I think.

In this one Armin remembers the second timeline.

But as I said in the tags of this post by @doyou000me I agree with them and I believe there's a previous timeline/reset. Timeline 1. The one where Armin and Thada meet for the first time and at least Thada falls for Armin. I think in this one Armin dies after being shot. Maybe he dies taking a bullet for Thada, hence this scene.

Thada started being a fan in the second timeline because of this. And maybe because he feels responsible for Armin's first 'death', he decided to stay away and just be a fan. Looking from afar. But maybe since that didn't work, he's taking a different approach this time and staying close by.

But the question I have is. Why doesn't Armin remember the first timeline and Thada does? And is Thada the one creating the resets??? And will there be more resets???

I love this timey wimey stuff and I wanna trust this show to actually explain this stuff, although my trust has been broken many times before, I really hope they do this one right. Please show, do not let me down.

[EDIT: If you read the novel, please, I don't want spoilers. I want to continue to guess wildly.]

Listen, if you were to push Lucifer down on his back, then pin his arms above his head and sit down on his stomach as you smirk down at him, he WILL short circuit so hard that his pride will be temporarily deleted from his brain

For the next century or so, his gaze will continue to hold nothing but complete and utter reverence for You and only You. He will look at You like You are beauty and holiness and perfection incarnate, as if the only purpose of the stars decorating the night sky above—and by extension, the only purpose of the morning star himself—was to bear witness to Your allure and charm. To the brilliance of Your existence

Compared to You, his father has been nothing but a false idol all this time

Also if you lie down on his chest & raise your head just high enough that he can't kiss you he will start to vibrate at 900 miles per hour proof: I'm the skeleton in Luci's room
