#and although there is no romance

[ghost-of-kurdt-haunts-my-room]

listen i hate to be the "grimdark edgy PTSD au" teenager but can we just talk about dr doofenshmirtz and perry the platypus? can we talk about how long they've been fighting? can we talk about how they used to be coworkers and perry remembers why doofenshmirtz was fired and doofenshmirtz thought it was because everyone hated him? can we talk about how perry essentially listens and helps doofenshmirtz with years of trauma in the silliest kid-show way and prepared him in some strange way for fatherhood? how doofenshmirtz healed his wounds, used them, to become a better father? can we talk about this? im crying

Probably everyone already knows about it, I'm just slow. However, I hope there will be auto-subtitles and I will be able to join in too.

I've been wanting to draw something in the Inquisition tarot style since I booted up the game for the first time

first card-second card-third card-fourth card

do you know what I love about devil may cry? It's lack of romance. I mean, yeah. We have Nero and Kyrie. But thats really it

No forced romance side plots, no undermining characters to make relationships "work", I mean, God, Dante has never had a love interest. Vergil BARELY has a love interest (considering the whole 'lady in red' thing was off-screen). We never see a character pining or frothing over another character, it's great!

so. i just watched most of the new quintonreviews Sam & Cat video and for Reasons i looked up both Goomer and Frankini on ao3 and theres only One Single Fic thats tagged with Goomer/Frankini. fucking criminal.

double criminal for it being tagged as "past Frankini/Goomer" bc the actual relationship focused in the fic is fuCKING GOOMER/DICE. BITING AND KILLING.

deep diving into the angel hierarchy of heaven's secret:

disclaimers: a) most of what i'm writing here are my own thoughts and theories; b) i'm not yet caught up with the abh january update, so if there is anything missing from there i'll add it later on

in the original duology we never got much information about how the angels hierarchy work in this universe and only knew a few names, however we did get the full picture in hsr and the order goes: seraphims > cherubs > thrones > supremacy > authority > beginning > archangels > angels

so far into the hs we've only met representatives of 3 of these 'classes' (aside from regular angels ofc) and i put one for each here:

(moreover, keep in mind these rankings are not exclusively set by birth, as we've seen rebecca climbing from the very bottom to the very top)

now it differs a bit from most of the christianity angel rankings, in which supremacy and beginning don't exist, no alternate names that i found had these names but i don't think it matters. in this context they would be replaced by dominions and principalities, respectively. still going by these, there's an omission of virtues but they do what they gotta do (or maybe they belong to that empty spot in the middle)

going back to heaven's secret, the only visible difference between angels of different spheres is that those of the first sphere have yellow/golden wings, whereas everyone else has common white/fair wings. a good example is fencio, who lost his throne status and therefore - the colour of his wings as well

i also don't think they would've shown us the full ranking if it wasn't gonna be explored more, after all we went years without it with no issues. and it was only the angel's that was revealed, not the demons' as well

from the new characters we only know of mikael's ranking so far - archangel. which tbf makes it a bit hard to guess everyone else but here are some theories:

raphael: although he is not mikael's blood brother he could still also be an archangel. throughout the book we see he has a special connection to heaven and formidable power - he could be a regular angel with unusual abilities. i don't think he is higher ranking than mikael since he is his 'subordinate'

somnus/furius: higher ranking than mikael. i haven't seen the wings to put them amongst the actual big shots but if i had to guess i'd put them in the second sphere - they have enough power to be an archangel's superior but if they had actual power they'd be busy ruling heaven and not supervising earthly matters

anhea: regular angel. she has said it herself she fought the war against the mother of life on the outskirts while the big names were in the frontlines

edit feb/25: anhea confirmed she is a lower ranking angel

cain: everything about him is a mystery ngl. if we are to believe pileon's words about him going against his own family, the type of power he possesses, the easy superiority in fights/energy/strength against other immortals - i would say he is in the very least an archangel. the recent confirmation that his family is indeed dead (and he was very very likely responsible) made me think he either got a lenient punishment (which wouldn't happen if he wasn't 'important') or he got a punishment similar to fencio's and lost his original ranking. or maybe he's just old idk

i need y'all to understand that the beautiful words that harry lloyd said yesterday didn't confirm jayvik. he didn't say that jayvik were married with 4 adopted children who live in a cottage by a stream either (but one can dream). i feel like that's the only thing some people are taking away from his speech, but you're missing out on the real beauty!

he said that romance isn't enough to describe their bond, their relationship. that to call their relationship romantic would belittle what it means.

they are not lovers because lovers isn't enough of a word to encapsulate their relationship and what their relationship means.

they're not romantic because they're more than romance. they're not brothers or platonic either. in fact, there is no word to describe their relationship because it doesn't exist.

that's why harry lloyd called them soul partners. he made up a word to describe them because not even soulmates was enough.

they're like two cogs in the fabric of the universe that need to be together in order for the universe to even function. they're two halves of the same soul!!

one cannot exist without the other; they're yin and yang, light and dark, good and evil etc. etc.

so are they romantic? no. are they platonic? no. are they brothers? no. they're a secret fourth thing that doesn't even exist in the human language because it's so beautiful that it can only exist in fiction (:

(and p.s. to the ppl saying, "how can you ship jayvik when jayce literally calls viktor his brother!!" you try having a bond with someone so profound that if you don't save each other, the whole universe collapses, and you try to describe what it is! jayce is emotionally constipated at best; brother was the only word he could think of that was close enough. give the man a break)

You reach the table, where Y takes up a quarter of the seating space. Although he is tucked into the corner by the lace-clad window, he is not afraid to take up space, arms outstretched across the bench that spans your booth, a dreamy half-smile on his face. You slide in next to S, opposite Y, and covertly ask, “Did you drug him?” S laughs; a dozen bells, ringing. “Gods no. I gave him a stiff drink, and the band is setting up. He has always fancied live musicians.” Sure enough, there is a band tuning their instruments among the mingling crowd of the dance floor. Just in the middle of it, a carpet designates the space for a cello, drums, musicians. A microphone is tapped, reverberating with feedback; no one flinches. The volume is high enough around the bar already, but it settles the more organized the band becomes, barhand waving people off, shushing, handing drinks over with mirth coursing through every twitch and turn of their all-aware movements. Drink-tray carrying girls swirl through the crowd like leaves on a current, trilling, the occasional slosh of liquid gleaming in the warm glow of gas-lit fire. Deals pass between mumbling gentry at the back. Glasses clink. The perfume of oil permeates, near rancid.

There’s a whole world here.

A whole world.
