Count Raven - A Lifetime

The Challenge - A Lawlight Fanfiction

Hello lovelies! I have taken my previous 'fever fic' and have started editing and updating it. There won't be any grand changes to the plot, but the story will be overall more readable - and I made a pretty picture for the cover.

(If you're thinking- hey Winter, it's literally just coloured fire - I will respond with - fight me, it took me so effin long - I suffer graphically, mkay?)

But yes, here is the link to the Preface of 'The Challenge'

Rating: M

Summary:

Head Cannon Light: Two years ago, I married my best friend. Light: Misa is still mad about it, but me and L were drunk and thought it was funny.

This fic takes place over several years. From L and Light meeting while Light was in high school to them growing into actual full fledged adults. Together, Light and L play a lifelong game of challenges. From fire shots to general public humiliation, they deal with their life by being the smartest idiots.

Though it does deal with bigger subject matter such as mental health, internalized homophobia, referenced suicide attempt, and referenced violence - it is one of the lighter works I've written. Dare I say, it may almost be a comedy!

Dare I? I dunno, I hope you guys think it's funny.

I’m so sorry for the delay with A Lifetime!

I had to go to urgent care because my mom’s cider fell out of her car, shattered, and cut my foot badly. They glued it shut but now it opened back up and I’m bleeding ��😭

I’m working on it as much as I can while I try to take care of my foot!

i genuinely hate how people have to sit and write a post that stands out while boosting a fundraiser because most people won't bat an eye at the misery and inhumane conditions Palestinians are living in.

i see people making art and telling others to use it because fundraisers with art are generally reblogged more often. i see people using colored text in order to make the post more eye catching.

palestinians on instagram are using popular audios and stitch trending reels at the beginning to make the world pay attention to them. imagine having to make something look entertaining in order to survive.

they are living under constant threat of israeli airstrikes, bombing, scarcity of food and disease. many have lost a lot in the past few months.

palestinians on tumblr are posting their pictures and the horrible conditions in which they are living. they travel long distances for internet connection only to be called a scammer by some privileged ass who cannot locate gaza on a map.

here are some verified gfms. please share the linked posts. it's the bare minimum we can do from the comforts of our home.

I'm actually not sure any more, wether them becoming human is out of bounds.

I already wasn't before all the discussions with David's comment started.

The whole story arc always keeps turning around all the perks of being human.

Every single immortal in a key role sooner or later turned to some of the basic things, that make our existence worth living.

Adam, the Antichrist, chose humanity and it's survival above his destiny. The book elaborated in much more detail, why he made that choice and how it came to pass. Out of love for life itself.

Gabriel and Beelzebub fall in Love.

Muriel wasn't even down on earth for more than a couple of days and got smitten by humankind's love for creativity condensed into books.

Finally Crowley and Aziraphale...6000 years of learning to love everything there is around them...

We as humans cannot really comprehend, why someone gifted with immortality would want to give it up for anything.

But when I think about it?

When do you love someone or something the most?

When you're constantly facing the fact, that you could loose it. In an instant.

*snap*

Just like that.

So, maybe, becoming mortal will be the greatest gift of all the ineffable plan has in store for them. Being able to finally love each other without boundaries and threats, for as long as a human lifetime, til death parts them.

That is more than most of us will ever get.

Doesn't seem like a bad ending to me at all...

I think I'm in a minority and lordt knows I've been very wrong about stuff like this before, but I have zero concern that Good Omens will end with Aziraphale and Crowley being human. None. Not even one iota of worry about it happening.

Why?

Because Neil Gaiman is a really good storyteller. And he, as a really good storyteller, knows that would be an unsatisfying ending.

Obviously this is pure speculation on my part, but a really good storyteller doesn't go to the effort of constructing such an intricate story, in which the challenges and desires of having eternal life but not being able to share it with the one being you want to, are so carefully laid out only to have them end up mortal. Because then what? Crowley ends up back in hell anyway and maybe Aziraphale does too? Or they end up back where they started? Nah.

My guess is that it is not going to play out as a rom-com might (I mean, it's not a rom-com), or with anything particularly overt being shown between Aziraphale and Crowley, and any "it may not be the ending you want" is, in my mind, getting way out in front to manage expectations.

By the time season 3 airs we will have been consuming years of fanfic, fanart and fanon and of all people, Neil knows the way that begins to shift the expectations and hopes of a fandom. It's really easy to drift away from canon or forget the kind of show it actually is (and that's totally fine, gimme all the fics and art that take me to where I want my faves to be), but it also means that fandoms can end up "disappointed" that some of the fan thinking and creating didn't come to pass.

So mah point is, any comments from actors or creators about a season not being what we want- that doesn't mean it's going to be rubbish storytelling. It means that some of the things people are hoping for won't happen.

And until we see what actually plays out on our screen, I, for one, am going to keep immersing myself in the brilliant creativity of this fandom and just

EDIT TO ADD: also need to acknowledge that Terry Pratchett is also an incredible storyteller and these two had it all figured out nearly 20 years ago and one thing's for certain, and that is that neither author, or Neil in seeing through the vision they both had, is going to drop the ball at the last minute

the university which administers the Pulitzer prizes is not allowing press on campus, to make sure nobody on-site can document what is happening.

the nypd threatened student journalists qnd their dean with arrest if they leave a building named after Joseph Pulitzer.

at this point it isn't even worth remarking on the sheer horror, the baffling irony of it all.

entire new york roads have been closed to traffic so that nobody can prevent the world's largest police force's brutalization of students protesting THEIR tution fres and tax dollars contributing to killing kids.

all of this to... keep investing in an apartheid regime.

Columbia University would rather risk their students getting murdered than divest from genocide...

If tumblr shuts down you can find me in living in a shotgun shack. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in another part of the world. If tumblr shuts down you can find me behind the wheel of a large automobile. If tumblr shuts down you can find me in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife. It tumblr shuts down I'll send myself an ask that says "how did I get here?"

i will never understand why more people in their 80s don't commit felonies. you reach that age and surely there's something illegal you always wanted to do but didn't bc Consequences

man i don't know how to say this but gazans here are risking their lives to make posts asking for help. they are asking for you to contribute a small amount of money to buy food or medicines or get shelter.

whether we like it or not, we are complicit in this genocide. either because of our silence, or because our tax money if being used to bomb them. i thought that people would be more eager to help gazans, trying to 'reverse' the damage somehow.

contrary to what i thought, people are moving on. they're moving on from the al-shifa hospital strike, they're moving on from refugee camp massacres and from school bombings, they're moving on from dead children and orphaned children.

please don't be indifferent. help my friend alaa amsse [ @alaakh998 ]. she urgently needs money to buy a new tent. she needs medicine for her sick son. her tent was flooded and she needs to buy supplies. please please help her if you have the means to. her fundraiser has been verified by 90-ghost and the butterfly project (#307).

when people reblog donation posts and say "donate what you can", I really feel like people aren't actually internalising it. not all of us can afford to donate $50, $100, more than that. but i know for a fact that there are thousands of us that can spare $2 or $5, and that all adds up.

it hurts so much to sit here and feel the limits of our own ability. we're not millionaires. we can't instantly fund these escape attempts. but these are bids for life, by people who never asked for the hellfire being rained upon them by sadistic colonialists, greedy for oil and land. they committed no crime other than being born in palestine. and of course it's unfair, to have to shoulder the weight of people's lives when we're all struggling to get by as it is. but our governments relentlessly fail us, they fail to scrape at the bottom of their cold dead hearts for their last dregs of humanity. it is so, so unfair, but it is up to the common man to save each other.

please. look at this spreadsheet. find a fund that resonates with you. and DONATE WHAT YOU CAN.
