Count Raven - A Lifetime

[nerdiel-has-no-braincells]

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 love Brennan's commitment to reminding you that he was hideously bullied for being a fucking weird nerd, ESPECIALLY when you're watching content about how outrageously successful and beloved he is now for being a fucking weird nerd.

Dita Von Teese was so right, you really can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches. And depending on the social dynamics of your school, there may be a few high-status people who hate peaches who can bring enough people on board to make your life a living hell.

Brennan was bullied so badly that he had to be pulled out of school and homeschooled. Those kids hated his ass! And look at him now. What more proof do you need that being surrounded by people who want to kill you during your school years doesn't say fucking anything about how loveable you are or what your life will be like as an adult.

"i would find you in any universe" but it's very clearly intended as a threat

A Life In Color

Color, color, everywhere… I was part of a discussion group talking about color. Unfortunately, most of it was the same old thing. Which is better and more artistic? Color or black and white work? I felt like Henry Blake when he was talking about a rule of war And he finally asked, “Does this look like The Mayo Clinic?” My answer is even a little more vague, running along the theme “of I dunno…

and he may ask himself "well, how did i get here?"

I've been working on a long (50p+) moshang doujin for a while now, and today I finally managed to wrap it up and post it for my patrons. So as celebration, I'm finally taking out of the vault this one! It's the art that sprouted the idea for the comic and kept me going strong at it until now!

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

"you should wake up early to watch the sun rise!" is actually the dumbest possible way to guilt trip people into getting up early. hello, the sunset? exists too? every day even. and is equally gorgeous. and fits into many people's free time. you're awake, work's over and holyshit--THATSA SUNSET BABY!!!
