What Type of Villain Are You?

unwillingly evil

you were forced. your resolve was broken slowly but surely, and now you're unsure of whether you'll ever get it back. for some reason, you believe that your current position is your fault. it isn't. it's the fault of those who did it to you. and yet you soldier on, facing forwards even as you slowly lose your will to continue. when you die, you're calm. unafraid for the first time in a while. this is the one thing they can't take from you.

I've been thinking about he weird Cassian/Mor/Azriel not-love-but-still-somehow-love triangle and like, the more I think about it, the shittier Morrigan looks. So, the initial Cassian fucking her? Not shitty, she's just trying to get out of her marriage, though Cassian is clearly down bad for Azriel and SJM doesn't have the balls to write it. But when you pin together Morrigan's conversations with Feyre. . . She's aware Azriel is in love with her, or at the very least, assumes so. Additionally, she wants nothing romantic with him, but absolutely refuses to tell him because she likes having him utterly wrapped around her finger and eager to protect her, to do anything for her. She specifically implies this when she tells Feyre "I like the way things are." This implies she knows Azriel is miserable. She knows he's pining. She knows she will never give him what he wants, nor will she tell him that she doesn't and won't ever return the feeling because she likes USING HIM. She likes using Cassian and an overly physical relationship to keep Azriel at bay, but doing just enough to keep him attached to her. She tells Feyre she is also aware of Azriel's self loathing. She knows she could strip naked for him and beg for his touch, but Azriel hates himself too much to dare. He thinks she is too pure and lovely for him, akin to an angel or goddess. So she doesn't need to use Cassian as a barrier, but it's an extra wall to guard her, and extra hurtful since she fucked Cassian. Then, you have the mess of the High Lord's meeting. Mor is uncomfortable, at least looks fearful, and Azriel attacks Eris. We know this is what Mor WANTS. She wants Azriel to defend her no matter the consequences. She wants to be safe from any reminder of her past, but especially her father and Eris. After getting the exact reaction she always wants from Azriel, knowing he never ever ever pushes her for more, but protects her because he loves her and never expects her to pay him back in any shape or form . . . Mor decides she needs to hurt him. She needs to reinforce how low he is, how he can protect her, can do everything she asks, and she will always choose someone else. So despite having no attraction to him, there being absolutely no need to do so, she sleeps with Helion. She fucks a High Lord with the only purpose to hurt Azriel, who is supposedly family, even as she hates every second of it. Who she is supposed to love. Yet she only does it to show him, in front of everyone, just how low he is. How filthy. How unworthy. Nothing he will ever do will be good enough, but she'll keep giving him just enough to give him hope, only to crush him every now and then. What a dream. SIDE NOTE How the fuck did Helion not pick up anything? You can literally smell arousal if you enter a room as a fae. If this man is half as a giving and talented lover as the text keeps telling us, how the fuck did he not know Morrigan wasn't into it? SJM please write your queer characters better or hire a ghost writer, I'm begging you.

who do you think is more Crowley coded and who is more Azira coded out of dnp?

i set myself hourly notifications ever since you send the ask and it still took me this long to answer, im so sorry 😭

to answer your question:

It might seem like obvious that dan is crowley coded and phil is azira coded because of their aesthetics and personality but stating that as that is too simple for me. lets break it down:

dan is like crowley in the obvious sense of having that edgy aesthetic and always needing to question things while phil is the one with the light aesthetic who enjoys what is happening despite the problems it has. just watch them play the game of life.

this reminds me of this quote from a book ive read for uni which really stuck with me:

so yea, dan is the social scientist who points out what most people miss and phil is the one who tells us that we shouldn't wallow in defeat of it but make our own meaning out of it. and we need both! they are like ying and yang, like crowley and aziraphale in that way.

crowley who questions heaven and thusly falls, but then doesnt stop questioning hell because he doesnt see the world in black and white, good actions and bad actions.

i think dan for a long time was not like that. i say this with the utmost respect but if you look back, his branding was usually self deprecating jokes and at least to me personally it felt like his perspective was pessimistic. he always made sure to leave a positive message but to me it felt like a wish for a better future, not a feeling of certainty that it will be better.

Phil on the other hand is very much like that:

Phil is like aziraphale and me in the sense that he gets irrationally worried about things,

but it is dan who literally did a tour about his worries of the world ending, with branding and all:

and yet:

phil and crowley both have that rational optimism, the sense that things will be okay. but aziraphale does not give up in-spite of the odds being against them. in s1 he refuses to run away to alpha centauri because he believes that they should stay and fight. that there is still hope. he does not accept that the world will end. but its crowley who sparks the idea of aziraphale raising the antichrist with him. its aziraphale who tells angel crowley of armageddon , and its why crowley gets upset and questions the almighty.

so my point is that phil has aziraphale's light aesthetic vibes and his fear of near doom but crowley's certainty that everything will be okay in the end despite it.

dan on the other hand has crowley's edgy dark aesthetic, his cynicism and sense of questioning belief systems, but also aziraphale's determinism to fight what he is sure is a losing battle/the end of the world because he wants to believe that it is possible that everything will be okay (that being the message of wad/ywgttn/big/etc...)

i want to talk a bit about 'dark/light polarity'. what we mean by that is two sides of the same coin. yin and yang:

☯️

they depend on each other, they interconnect and intertwine. be it real people or fictional characters, it is never a clear black and white binary, because what the characters have something that the other lacks and when they come together they become a whole. plato said humans once had 4 legs and feet, and then got split in half by zeus to punish us to live our lives yearning to be connected with the other half of our soul/coin, our soulmate. they carry sth of each other within them because there are shards that got broken in the middle when the being was split and were forced to choose sides.

so even tho it might seem like dan is more like crowley coded and phil is more aziraphale coded because of their light/dark aesthetic, there's many things of both in each of them and thats what makes it interesting and real to us.

[deathsbestgirl]

So Never Again. Just saw this post and the way she looks up at him there is on a level with Mulder’s famous Fallen Angel eyes and his reaction to her? He doesn't melt? He chooses violence and being a dick? Please tell me why.

i LOVE this question because it is so easy to see it from scully's perspective. it's her episode. but you really have to think about mulder's perspective.

for mulder, this seems out of nowhere, and in his mind she was extremely inattentive with his informant on a case he's taking seriously. he doesn't understand what she's really asking or what the problem is, and a big part of that is she doesn't exactly either. it's almost like she's blaming him for the stand still in her life, but at the same time wants to be seen & appreciated (in a way that she understands, can feel, can see). and i don't think she could have figured it out the way she needed to with mulder. she needed the safety of talking to a stranger, someone inconsequential to her life. (like there's no way she could have that "other fathers" conversation with him lol) so ed jerse is the one to give her that. (she does with ed what she can't yet do with mulder. something neither of them are ready for and she isn't brave enough to do yet. and like. idk i just think she needed this! regardless of mulder lol)

like: "this isn't about you. or maybe it is, indirectly. i don't know." the one thing she got right is "i don't know" lol so of course mulder is confused!!

if you place leonard betts first, she's contemplating what she's leaving behind. has she had any impact working on the x files? on mulder? who is going to remember her? what evidence of her life will be left? in that office...it looks like she's had very little effect. (but i do not subscribe to this one.)

if never again is first, which i like better lollll (it makes more sense to me. i understand why people like lb first, it's more clear cut. it puts a reason behind her behavior. but i just don't think it quite fits. scully literally doesn't know what's wrong. if she was already worried about cancer, i think it would come across differently. but she's frustrated & confused and she wants for something she can't admit, express, pinpoint, articulate? idk what word i'm looking for lol) scully's just hit that point in her pattern again, her cycle...it took her four years, and after some rough cases (paper hearts – she couldn't help mulder despite how she tried, el mundo gira – a dead end. and idk, so many of their cases. and she's always wrong, he always does the crazy thing, he's always hurt)...well anyway, at the end he's still asking "all because i didn't get you a desk?" he still isn't quite understanding, until she says it's her life and he almost says "yes but it's become mine." he doesn't say it, they sit in silence, and in leonard betts, he tells her she did a good job & should be proud. all his little jokes like he's trying to make her laugh, to get back to their usual banter. because he wants to make her smile. so he understood at least a little by leonard betts. but they also come to a silent understanding. i just love the way kae talks about it. and i think the end is kind of the explanation for the beginning. the end is the real answer to the whole episode, and what it took to get there...and this post here, kae just understands him and talks about him in a way that i feel. it's exactly what i see in a way i could never articulate. (and she does my favorite thing!!! connects different moments. the characterization is so good.) and she has such a special insight to both of them, different patterns, but to me two sides of the same coin.

and so, either way, at the beginning of never again, he's completely thrown because he doesn't know. this is when their bad verbal communication and personal issues/insecurities/fears take hold. they're both so good at taking too much responsibility.

we're seeing into scully's mind a bit, but we aren't really seeing into his. but he's afraid, he doesn't want her to leave (something he's feared for a long time), he thinks space is the answer to whatever's going on. but he's also kinda needy and he can't just say that. so he calls her and they misunderstand each other again and she makes a date. he isn't trying to be an ass but he's scared & defensive, and he gets like that when she makes him nervous. like whenever she believes (beyond the sea, revelations, all souls, en ami). it feels like that to me. he's afraid, but this time he thinks he's the problem, their work is the problem. and he kinda said the worst thing he could say to her at that moment. "you were just assigned" — he has no idea how she understood that, how it hurts her. (and she's not thinking about how he means it, what he thinks/feels/fears.) and really, it's because she sucks at just saying the thing as much as he does. it takes them a long time to work out their direct communication. their unspoken communication, the way they work on their cases doesn't translate to their personal relationship. as intimate as their partnership is, working through their own issues takes time and it's those things that hinder them moving forward for so long. ya know?

i think @randomfoggytiger talks about it beautifully here — in depth essay on never again. here they touch on mulder's fear/walls & scully's insecurities/needs. it's a journey!! which they talk about here. and i forget what this one was (lol) but i'm sure i saved it for a reason: a little master post. i love the way foggy breaks things down, especially visually. it's something i could never do.

i also reblogged some other never again posts. not completely on topic but it's all connected!! (you can definitely go through my never again tag to see more probably too!)

𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪 𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘯𝘴

[ 🌸 ] Today it's my soft boy's turn, tomorrow I don't know who I'll choose...

characters: itachi uchiha;;some character mentions

genre: fluff;;fluff;fluff

warnings: just a sweet boy and how he would be like your partner;;itachi pampering the reader;;fem!reader;;some mentions of spicy stuff;;non massacre AU!

Itachi as a boyfriend?, yes please <3. 

- - -

- - -

- - -

- Aa

- Where do I begin?

- He is a sweet but weird boy

- Itachi being the good ninja that he is always watching everyone

- You know? He even pays attention to the smallest stone. That's how observant he is. The bad thing is that he then downplays the people he sees

- Like; “oh yes, I saw you the other day. But I forgot your face and I remembered you until today when I saw you again"

- So yes, it was inevitable that he didn't notice you at the end of the day.

- But if you want to seriously attract his attention, you should have something remarkable.

- Something that makes you unique, like a strange hair color, a pretty smile, or even a striking personality

- But here comes the bad

- He will not approach you to talk to you

- This is 100% canon seriously

- he will not approach you unless it is necessary xd

- Literally, Shisui was the one who approached Itachi. I think if Shisui hadn't reached out to Itachi, the Kid wouldn't have had any friends.

- I feel like Itachi would love to have a person opposite of him as a lover. What do I mean by this, you will ask yourself; that he would be attracted to someone a little more outgoing than himself.

- So yes, he wouldn't mind being with someone more outgoing. But please don't overwhelm him lmaoo

- So imagine you talked to him and then over time you became friends, and then you became lovers.

- Itachi would enjoy your outgoing personality, for him, you feel like a fresh air in his life. Also, he secretly enjoys telling bad jokes with the person he loves, so expect a lot of jokes from him. I feel like he would like someone who is down to earth as well, he obviously wouldn't mind if you take a break from reality for a bit as he enjoys bringing you back to reality over and over again lol.

- Body preferences? Do you ask if he is attracted to a specific body type? Oh my, that's so far from Itachi xd. That doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate his partner's curves or chubby, It's just that he just doesn't care if you have some hair on your legs or your skin color, Itachi just doesn't care how you are physically, since he doesn't fell in love with your body in the first place, he fell in love with your personality.

- will always be on the lookout for you, like "have you eaten yet?" "How did you sleep last night?"

- He cares about your health as much as he cares about Sasuke's

- Speaking of Sasuke I've seen a lot of toxic headcanons on a certain topic, in particular: “Itachi loves his brother more than you” and oh my God no, that's so far from reality. Itachi loves them both equally, Sasuke is his brother and you are his partner! The two of you will always be by his side. And that will never change… so please never doubt that you are just as important as Sasuke and that he will always love you.

- Going on to another topic...

- Itachi enjoys taking care of you, you could even say that… ahem is one of the biggest kinks of him-like… when- you know… after the spicy stuff ,,, oww

- I feel like Itachi would enjoy someone smaller than him, how he loves having his chin rest on your head when he hugs you, and you just disappear under his huge body and it's so-- awww

- Cuteeee

-We already know that Itachi does not judge, so he will take his precious time to get to know you better and guess what, it is the best investment he has made

- Because he met a beautiful angel fallen from heaven that bears your name, <3 and yes, it's you precious.

- On the other hand, the investment of time that has been taken to get to know you will also help him to know how you are, like: if you are rude, you lie, and you always discredit others -kabuto is that you?- Itachi will simply leave the room, or it will just run away from you as fast as it can, and you will never see it again.

- Aww Itachi is so nice to you that he is just so AGHWA

- sorry, I got excited-

- Ahem…!

- Itachi is so gentle, kind, sweet and so selfless with you and believe me he loves you so much… he can't help but seek your comfort first before his.

- Please talk to him and tell him that his comfort is also important -cries in Spanish-

- Mikoto raised Itachi (and Sasuke too) to be chivalrous towards women. So he's always going to pull your chair after you sit down, he's going to open doors for you, he's going to hold your hand when you're going through a crowd, he's going to carry your stuff.

- i imagine in a modern setting he would open the car doors for you, he would hold your hand as he drives aawww he is so cute

- Itachi is from the old school,, So after having asked your parents and you for permission to woo you, he sent you flowers of different colors; Each bouquet he sent had a small note, on one side were written his feelings for you and on the other side what each flower meant.

- Some flowers that he sent you were; tulips, orchids, licianthus, white lilies <3 awww

- My boy sent you beautiful poems sometimes, or he just wrote how he felt about you

- When both officially became a couple and the idea of marriage became a plan for the near future, he began to give you jewelry and small trinkets

- You know?, like; Pearl Pendants, bracelets with small diamonds. Only the best for his partner.

- He is the son and heir of a clan boss, money will never be a problem for this family, also when you become his wife you will become the matriarch of the Uchiha clan.

- Even so... he overwhelmed you with ✨jewels✨

- lmao

- Leaving that aside...

- He is good at cooking, his mom taught him well. Honestly, he surprised you, he spoils you with his food, and you enjoy it, you feel like a queen.

- When he has to go on a long mission he makes Sasuke or Shisui take care of you (Spoiler: they're weird guys like him), plus he leaves a crow nearby to watch you at night (I told you he was weird).

- Obviously, you noticed the crow. Another spoiler you named the crow, It's called; Almendras.

- Shy boy Shy boy

- He doesn't like the pda so much, like: it's okay if you hold his hand while walking, but don't kiss him in front of everyone… he's going to have a heart attack -owww

- Aa~, but when you're inside your house or his, it's a different story.

- Itachi loves kisses, hugs, caresses, pampering... Pampering! Pampering him please, it's his favorite thing in the world!

- Although at first he didn't get used to kisses, lmao

- He was so nervous

- But after a while you were the one who got nervous lmao

- Let me tell you that his kisses are so soft but hard at the same time. They always take your breath away, Itachi loves to taste and listen to the little sounds you make, it's so addictive to him aww

- oh

- Right, I forgot something.

- Itachi likes to touch you, but at the beginning of the relationship he was too shy. Now that he's used to it, he can't keep his hands off you.

.

.

.

- What I want to say is that Itachi loves you, and he will love you until the end of his days. And if you allow him to stay by your side, he will do whatever it takes so that you never lack for anything ❤️

* Many things were missing owww -cries in Spanish-

* maybe i’ll do a little fanfic in which he dances with the reader under the moon? It would be fun u.u mmmm…

* I have to look for tutorials on how to manage tumblr, seriously...hELP-LMAO

[autisticskeleton-s]

Good Omens season 2 is about what religious trauma does to indoctrinated people, and here’s why.

so i finally watched Good Omens after my friends BEGGED me to ever since the first season first dropped and even though the ending stabbed me in the balls repeatedly for several hours i can’t help but marvel about how genius the ending really is and how crucial it is to both Aziraphale and Crowley as characters

i was hesitant to watch this show bc i was indoctrinated and conditioned by evangelicalism from birth (i’m literally the kid of two ex-missionaries and my dad was a chaplain for 36 years) and i knew that i could easily get triggered if i wasn’t careful.

i’m so glad i watched this show. there’s many reasons but i really just wanna talk about the ending of s2 aka The Divorce. it went entirely over my friends heads bc none of them grew up in the church but when i watched the ending it felt like i was watching pieces of myself at war with each other even though they didn’t want to be. to me, i was watching two people so broken by heaven and hell that they don’t understand that what they’re doing is hurting themselves more than it’s hurting each other. this is a pretty long ramble so i’ll continue under the cut

Aziraphale and Crowley are two halves of the same coin (literally soulmates) and are narrative foils to each other. obviously right, i mean, everyone noticed that. but what they truly represent in the grand scheme of things is the fallout of religious trauma. Crowley has seen the absolute Worst of heaven and the angels. he’s been outcast, scorned, and tortured for (assuming based on the opening scene of season 2) simply asking questions and questioning his faith. Aziraphale is the poster child of what a good angel is in the eyes of heaven and has reaped the benefits for millennia.

what is happening here is a war between two halves of a whole, Denial vs Bitterness.

as a young child it was drilled into my head over and over that my faith had to be as strong as a rock all the time or i would crumble like sand. i idolized all the bible characters and memorized all the verses and did all the good and right things i was supposed to. i was a standard in all the churches i went to, i was the example of what a good christian was, and i knew it.

then, over time, i began to see behind the curtain on what was really going on in the church and i was devastated. how could something based on love do all of that? why am i so scared to think freely? why do i feel like i can never be good enough? the more i questioned the more shame i felt and the more bitter i became, but i longed to go back to that innocence of being the best little christian kid in the church.

Aziraphale cannot truly comprehend the uncomfortable reality that what he’s been subscribing to all this time isn’t good for him. heaven has been hurting him for a long time and he doesn’t understand that. how can something he thinks is so right, so true, so good hurt him and his friends so much? no, it must be something he’s done right? it must be some bad apples right? the whole orchard can’t be bad right? he just has to fix this. he just has to make it better for him and for Crowley and then everything will be ok again.

Crowley can’t wrap his mind around why Aziraphale cares so fucking much. hasn’t he seen what heaven and hell have done? they barely stopped the end of the fucking world!!! they tried to destroy both of them with holy water and hellfire!!!!! they’re still trying to meddle in their personal lives after everything!!! why is Aziraphale so stubborn???? why does he choose something so asinine over him? Crowley has been there for Aziraphale a hell of a lot more than heaven has, can’t he see that?

both of them are hurting deep down into their very souls and they just can’t see it. that’s what religious trauma does to you. it strips you so bare of your personhood that without your religion, who are you? without your god, you’re just an empty shell. you’re nothing without “us”, without the church.

without Aziraphale trying and failing to fix heaven, he’s never gonna understand how corrupt of a system it all is.

without Crowley learning that Aziraphale is hurting just as much as he is, he’s never gonna learn that Aziraphale really had his best intentions at heart and just wanted to do what he thought was the good thing

without both of them realizing that they’re both wrong, they’re never gonna come together and really stand up for themselves and for their friends and for earth as a whole. without this grief, without this pain, without this separation, they’re never going to be truly free

and i, for one, cannot wait to see them kick some ass when they decide that enough is enough

Story - Domesticity

Pairing - Dean Winchester/Castiel

Word count - 1025

Rating - Teen

Summary - Dean asks Cas to do the dishes and Cas decides he doesn’t want to. Dean has to try and explain to his husband why it’s only fair if he does the dishes.

They had just had a lovely meal, well Dean had. Cas still refused to eat as everything still tasted like molecules to him. He tried some bbq beef brisket that Dean cooked for their anniversary once and it put him off eating for the rest of eternity. Dean was particularly affronted by that idea, his beef brisket was one of the best things he cooked.

Well he thought so at least.

Instead he would just sit with Dean, chatting away about anything and everything. Sometimes about a new show he had found on Netflix when Dean was at work; others about the issues Jack was having with the supernatural now Dean had chosen to retire. The chats he loved the most were those where he would grab his free hand, kiss his fingers lightly and tell him what his plans were as soon as he got Dean into bed.

Those were particularly enjoyable talks.

When Dean had finished his latest meal he walked to the sink, putting his plate in with the skillet and baking tray that he had used earlier. Staring at it briefly before turning to his husband who had his hand cupped around a glass of honey iced tea, the only human thing he enjoyed. The sweetness of the honey was addictive to him.

“Hey sweetheart, could you do me a favour?” Dean asked, his husband turning to look at him seriously.

“I would literally fight against heaven, destroy hell, burn the world for you if you asked.” Okay that was a weird response but he’d go with it. Sometimes his husband did come up with some very unusual responses to incredibly minor questions.

“That’s great angel. But uh…I just wondered, can you do the dishes for me?” There was a pause whilst Cas took a quick drink before he responded.

“No.” O…kay, that was not the response he wanted.

“Cas, what do you mean no?” He very rarely heard that word from his husband, but it seemed to always be when he was asked to do something mundane like house work. Normally he would just roll his eyes and do it himself, not wanting to get into an argument with Cas over something so petty, but today he was tired and pissed off after a bad day at work.

He really wanted his husband to do the dishes.

“Because I’m an angel of the lord, and we don’t ‘do the dishes.’” Dean snorted when he saw the little air quotes from Cas. Whilst they annoyed the hell out of him he also found them extremely endearing. They were so dorky, so Cas, and one of the things he loved so much about him.

“Whilst I appreciate you’re an angel of the lord Cas, in this bunker you are my husband and I am asking you, nicely, to do the dishes.” Although he was doing his best to keep his voice level, he could tell that there was a bit of heat in the way he spoke. Resulting in Cas pursing his lips in annoyance before he spoke.

“No.” Okay this was going to be a fight. Exactly what he had been trying to avoid whenever he relented in the past. But today, he wasn’t going to relent.

“Castiel, why are you refusing to do the dishes?”

“Why should I do them when I don’t eat anything? It’s not like I use them. I just sit here and watch you eat. If I made the mess I would do the dishes.” My God, Dean actually hated that the logic made sense to him. He wouldn’t choose to clean up after Cas if he didn’t make the mess, but he wasn’t going to let him get out of it like this.

“Whilst you do make a good point Cas, when you’re in a relationship you’re a team and tend to work together on things.” As he considered what Dean was saying his head tilted to the side, eyes squinting a little. A look that Dean found so loveable and irritating in one go.

“Work together.”

“That’s right.”

“On things like doing the dishes.”

“Yes.”

“But why?” Dean groaned hard, his head falling into his hands. He was really regretting bonding himself to this clueless angel that he currently wanted to strangle. Why couldn’t he have a nice human wife or husband that understood this kind of thing?

“Cas, it’s just a thing that couples do. Share the chores.” Dean still had his head in his hands, but he could imagine the look of confusion and disbelief on his husbands face.

“So it’s a human thing?” Oh thank god he was finally getting it.

“Yes, commonly one person would cook and the other would wash up afterwards. Dividing the chores up to make things fairer.” Still he couldn’t look up from his hands. In between wanting to laugh that he was explaining ‘doing the dishes’ to an angel of the lord and still wanting to strangle his husband for making such a simple request so awkward.

“Why didn’t you just say that?” Cas responded. Dean looked up just in time to watch his husband wave his hand, using his grace to instantly wash the dishes and put them away. Dean mouth fell open in shock as Cas stared him down. “What?”

“You do realise we spent longer arguing about you doing the dishes then it took you to do the god damned dishes.” He could no longer hide the annoyance in his voice.

“I’m aware.” He was back to drinking his tea, acting like nothing had happened.

“But why?”

“It’s the principle of it.” The principle of it!?! Throwing his hands up in the air Dean turned around and went to walk out of the kitchen. “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to bed.” A voice shouted back from the hallway where Dean had disappeared. The unmistakeable sound of Sam’s laughing echoed through not long afterwards. “Shut up Sammy.” Dean shouted, making him laugh even harder. Cas just sat at the table, enjoying his tea, knowing it was best for him to calm down.

He would make it up to him later.

[butisittho]

So I was rewatching season one, and I noticed something. I don't know if someone has pointed this out yet, but in S1E04 when the apocalypse is about to happen, Aziraphale and Crowley have a conversation that is incredibly similar to the one they have in the last scene of the second season.

Crowley is asking him to run off with him to literally any other planet, but Aziraphale refuses because he believes that if he could just talk to God and convince him to stop the Armageddon, everything will be fine.

Now as we know, Crowley doesn't actually leave and they have a happy ending (lol) and all that. After that, some angels find Zira and both physically and verbally assault him. He tells them that he's going to report it to a "higher authority" and they laugh at him and say "You really think upstairs will take your call?". After all this, Zira calls them bad angels and tries to contact the Almighty. Bad angels. He doesn't think Heaven as a whole is a bad thing, a rotten institution. He just believes there's a couple of bad apples (sound familiar?) that sort of spoil the whole barrel. He has such an individualistic perspective of corruption that he genuinely believes if he could just explain what's wrong to the person in power (God) everything would be fixed.

And then, when Zira finally tries to contact a higher authority, God doesn't answer. But guess who does?

The Metatron does answer. And he even listens to Aziraphale, even if he doesn't change the plan. I think this serves as a strong precedent to explain why Zira would trust the Metatron in the next season, why he would believe him when he promises him power to run things, change things.

Because at the end of the day, Aziraphale wants to do good. That's what matters to him the most. When the Armageddon was happening, he didn't have the power necessary to actually influence anything, not in Heaven's side. But with the offer that the Metatron makes, that wouldn't occur again. This time he could choose what Heaven does, he could make a difference (or so he thinks, at least).

That's what changes. That's the reason why he accepts and goes back to Heaven. In his new position, he is above the angels who are "bad", so he can instruct them into doing good, and get rid of the corruption.

Which makes so much sense for his character I actually want to cry. He loves Crowley, of course he does, he needs him. But at the end of the day, if Zira has the chance to hopefully save humanity, even if it means not spending eternity with Crowley, he will do it. And I think that's beautiful, idealistic and naive. But it's the right thing to do, the good thing to do.

Also you know, he seems to grow really interested in the Metatron's offer only when he mentions that Crowley can be an angel again, which goes to show how much he loves Crowley. They literally are each other's worlds. But the fact that he believed that Crowley would be happy about it? Or even accept? That illustrates more of that idealism and innocence I mentioned before.

I think Aziraphale is also still maybe not ready to confront what his relationship with Crowley actually is. They are partners, they love each other, they only need each other to be happy, but in his eyes that's probably too much, too many feelings between an angel and a demon, too much dependence. In S1 when Crowley is devastated because "somebody killed my best friend", Zira doesn't know what to say and immediately changes the topic. It makes him uncomfortable, so much so he can't even outwardly recognize what he feels, even if he is aware of it. He gets a bit less emotionally constipated in S2, but in the last scene he still ends up responding the same way he did in S1; I forgive you.

In conclusion: Neil Gaiman you beautiful bastard

AUGHHHHHH the unyielding urge to redesign Lucifer and Adam from HH cause what.

I've heard Adam's design is 'good' and it's supposed to be simple because he was the first man and is supposed to look like the average guy.

But I will ignore that if/when I redesign him because that is stupid.

It also goes in the topic about how HH romanticized Christianity in the show (a problem most shows have when they depict Christianity but I digress)

The reason it especially annoys me when hazbin is in question is because HH and HB want to focus a bit more on the characters and lore of the bible. And instead of trying to depict it correctly they just choose to romanticize it.

You hear this argument a lot with Greek myth as well. The Greek gods were assholes, so don't romanticize their actions PLEASE. (Ex: Disney's Hercules)

But the difference between Hercules and HH is that Hercules was always supposed to be a family friendly movie. While HH is of course ment for mature audiences.

Which means there's no reason to romanticize it like they did. And when I mean 'romanticize' I mean generally how they depicted heaven with all the pastels and how the cherubs are depicted in HB which all dials down to the art direction.

Also what they did to Saint Peter. Unforgivable.

If it's meant for mature audiences I'd also like to see a more mature representation of the Religion you're depicting.

Also the plot doesn't really make sense when you think about it? Like purgatory is right there?? Please acknowledge your source material lol????

It honestly shocks me cause all this time the purgatory hasn't been mentioned ONCE in the show. So does it even exist??

And if it doesn't... Well, that's just stinky writing-

And for the 'romanticizing' of Christianity (in the art direction more specifically), they could've done that. However in that case they shouldn't have focused so much on religion??

If heaven was only going to be mentioned here and there then sure you could do that. But if you're going to focus SO MUCH on it and going to make it so important to the lore then please treat it with respect?

And with Lucifer- I mean, that just shows how little the writers actually care about depicting the source material semi-accurately.

You give me the literal personification of evil and make him an uwu short king with depression.

I mean that just leads me to think Lucifer is really pathetic as a character when you know a thing or two about him in the bible.

When Lucifer TRICKED Eve into taking the fruit, he wasn't doing it to give her knowledge or something. He was doing it because he wasn't supposed to, because he wants to screw Adam and Eve over. Because he's bad.

I get that's whole thing about HH's Lucifer but still. Lucifer is not HH's character. He's much more than just a character at that.

And that type of approach is also in all honesty pretty disrespectful. You took the being that ruined humanity, that screwed it over, and turn him into... Whatever you call HH's Lucifer.

Like- I mean- Look at these two people and tell me they're supposed to be the same character

The Lucifer on the right looks intimidating and hateful while also being beautiful. Lucifer was the most beautiful angel so that makes sense. Not to mention the Lucifer on the right looks like someone who could kill you in a second.

Whilst the Lucifer on the left is a short, skinny, blond uwu-ass boy. I could take him a fight smh.

And yeah, short people aren't that intimidating I said it. I mean, I wouldn't be scared of my foe if they're the size of an eight year old-

Also, no, I'm sorry but this isn't intimidating at all

It's such an easy fix too. Just make him a bad but helpful character. Make him rude, let him do terrible things and be sadistic, that's the whole point of Lucifer. However, make situations where he has to help Charlie, not because he cares, but because he's too prideful to be made a fool of by heaven.

BOOM! A good way to make Lucifer an actually decent anti-hero of sorts.

Not to mention Lilith isn't an actual character in Christianity. She's only a character in Jewish Religion. Which is like- Yikes-

Please do not mix religions when interpreting them in a media, because that is really easy to do wrong and it's just generally something you shouldn't do.

Now keep in mind:

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND MY CONCERNS ON HAZBIN HOTEL. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO AGREE WITH A WORD I SAY.

If you like Hazbin that's genuinely awesome! I'm glad you found something you enjoy, continue doing that!! And honestly everything I say is just the art of adaptation.

These are just my personal takes that I can't keep to myself since I'm the type of person that can't keep shit in her head and has to voice everything-

Tam out-

[bookishtheaterlover7]

WOO! Had to go through high or hell water, but a blessing in the form of the mysterious new friend 🎄 helped me get the info I need

Now... Let's drag this pretentious bitch through the mud again, shall we..?

For starters, let's admire the "bride"😜

Well, well... They actually made the Wicked Witch of the East (West is Elphaba, I will not drag her with this bitch) look good. Even 👸 said she actually liked the lipstick and wearing a good outfit, covering what everyone has already seen too much of, and choosing black, to mourn her lost Instagram followers? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And what is with that position?! She also hates the little bow on the dress, it's indicative of Albitch's Lolita personality (in my words, AS IF THE BITCH NEEDED TO REMIND EVERYONE). And those cold black eyes 😆 What is with the bow below? Most people would have the bow at the waist! (I told her that Albitch doesn't have curves to accentuate 🙃)

👸 is being a savage today and I'm loving it!!!

Honestly, she's right, as always 😆 and the thing with Albitch's stupid ass position it kinda reminds me of Cinderella's step sisters 🤭

And she actually wears something other than crop tops?!😵 And really? A babydoll dress? Could you be anymore obvious, Albitch?!

And one last thing... FUCKING FIX YOUR POSITIONS, YOU WANNABE!!!

Onto the topic of Chris...

Their rings don't fucking match! What married couple doesn't have matching rings?! This isn't the 1800s where only the bride wears the ring. Both husband and wife, are supposed to have a ring. They might not wear it all the time, but they do have rings! But these two? You put their photos right next to each other, and it looks like someone told them to each buy a ring without knowing what the other even looked like 🤭☕

His is some form of gold. Still doesn't fit... And hers, are silver, dull and fucking loose!!!

A post shared by alba updates (@albaupdates)

Thank you 👸 for showing me this vid, I needed that laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Albitch, do you seriously don't know what to do with your hands? With all your slutty posts, I thought you'd be an expert by now 🤭 I guess that's why you never show them in pictures you post...

And another thing. This goes to all of the people who thought she's hiding because she's pregnant...

DOES SHE LOOK REMOTELY PREGNANT TO YOU?! YOU'RE FUCKING DELULU!!!

And we're back to Chris...

Yeah those wedding rings are seriously not matching. And no matter how you spin it, there's absolutely zero reason for those two to not match. Unless neither knew what the other bought in which case...

THEY'RE EXPOSING THEMSELVES!!!!

Just like how Albitch appearing without Chris only confirms our suspicions, that he's in MA, with his family, DEFINITELY WITHOUT HIS LOVING NEW BRIDE 😁

Now, isn't that just couple goals... 🙄

I mean Dodger will actually have a happy Thanksgiving this year, because his Daddy would actually smell nice and not have his wicked Step-Mother

Oh, I forgot! 👸 rewatched Chris' NYCC panel, and at 10:14 of the video...

She told me, it's really hard to notice, and I didn't but after two tries I did too, that Chris mentions that he has to use treats to get Dodger to come near him, because, "sometimes stuff happens"...

I'm sorry, but WHAT STUFF HAPPENED THAT MAKES DODGER NOT WANT TO BE NEAR YOU, CHRISTOPHER?!

I know it sounds like a stretch, and probably a major conspiracy theory. But come on! Dodger is the least shy dog on the internet! He loves new friends, in dog and human form.

And he's a dog who, like his Dad, loves to show affection, and receive it. There's no way, Dodger would avoid people, unless, and my dog is like this, they've had a bad experience with that person, and they don't trust them. Even just the scent might have them stay away. 🤔🧐

TL;DR

🎄 is an angel sent from the heavens to have helped me. 👸 is SAVAGE today with the sick burns. Albitch looks decent, but her positions, and the fact that literally EVERYTHING but the ring shines is another Red Flag 🚩(we're about to run out of room for these flags). Chris and her have rings that don't fucking match. Dodger might be having a happy Thanksgiving because his wicked Step-Mother is as far from MA as she can be (Green card, what? She doesn't know her🤭)

Oh, and...

Happy Thanksgiving to those that celebrate it 😁🍗

[fandom-fae]

honestly i really don’t like those hot takes that hook was the good guy/peter pan was the real villain-

first of all for the original storyt;

here it’s true that pan does morally questionable stuff and that he’s not a purely good guy in the original, that’s not wrong, but he’s also not pure evil. he was literally willing to die for wendy in the original story and he did save the lost boys and the darlings from the pirates towards the end and he did let the lost boys and the darlings all leave neverland even if he wasn’t happy about it (which imo is understandable, because what kid would ever be happy about all their friends choosing to leave them? yk) (alsohe doesn’t kidnap them, the darling siblings literally wanted to go with hims. that argument makes no fucking sense). anyway like he’s obviously no angel and these good things don’Ät cancel out his bad deed (like breathing rapidly to kill as many grown ups as possible (that was hilarious tho ngl) or killing pirates for fun or cutting off hook’s hand), but to say that he’s pure evil is just plain wrong. like i would say he’s very much chaotic neutral. and especially with the level of forgetful the original character has, i really don’t think he can be called evil. he’s just childish through and through yk? yk, careless, not thinking about consequences, selfishness, but also whimsy. i don’t to forget the line people always point to to claim that he kills the lost boys when they grow up, but i also disagree with that becuase the phrasing “thins them out” is ambiguous at best and doesn’t confirm anything.

and now for hook in the original. he’s literally the most one dimensional villain i’ve ever seen (which i think is on purpose). iirc, he explicitly kills members of his pirate crew for iirc pretty minor stuff. and he’s a child’s arch nemesis. that alone is imo enough to disqualify him as the “secret good guy” some “theorists” want to turn him into. he attacks kids guys. in what world would a secretly good guy do that? especially cuz he doesn’t even just attack pan himself, but he also kidnapped the lost boys and wendy and her brothers. people like to claim based on pretty much nothing that he wants to save the other lost boys from pan, but really i don’t think making them walk the plank is really “saving” lol. like idk about you, but that’s not my definition of saving someone. and then that idea that he’s a former/the first lost boy who escaped pan and that his crews are also former lost boys. where did they even get that from?? that has no basis in the original story unless i missed like half the book when reading it lmao. just no. like that’s a fun au, sure- but to act like it’s the “hidden true story” behind the tale is just bullshit at best.

but then sometimes people also specifically point to the (animeted) disney version of the story when discussing theory, and here i have to say that it makes even less sense tbh. like pan is morally better in that movie than the original tbh (he still does questionable stuff obviously, but still) and hook is just as one dimensionally evil as in the original imo.

the only version i know where that theory would actually make any sense is the “once upon a time” one, but ouat does not have the best track record of accurate adaptations, so idk how anyone would genuinely think that could be a good argument for that “theory”

[qstarhalo]

Welcome in fellas let me tell you why q!Bad and Crowley are so similar because I want to and because they are and you can't stop me.

[undercut ↓]

Now, we'll start at the first episode of season 2, where we see Crowley before he fell. Before the Beginning. It seems that he is tasked with making the universe where Earth is going to be planted which is a big deal honestly. How does that fit with Bad? Well, we can only guess this but with a throne with angel wings behind it and a halo like chandelier above it we can assume Bad has a higher archy angel. Not exactly an archangel but close to it (or maybe a archangel who's to say but time). Now I'm not saying Crowley was one but being tasked with the creation of the universe where Earth was going to be? Pretty big deal that I would say only a higher archy angel would have. But that information is still to be confirmed.

Now the Garden of Eden, 4004 BC. Of course Bad isn't going to meet an angel at the wall that goes around the garden and he actually arrived in 960 BC, way before 4004 BC and blah blah blah. BUT I want to point out a few lines Crowley says to Aziraphale; "I can't see what's so bad about knowing the difference between good and evil anyway" and "It'd be funny if we both got it wrong, if I did the good thing and you did the bad one". We've all mentioned how Bad chooses to be kind despite being a demon. That it's funny that he's doing good even though he's an entity that's defined as evil and dangerous. Which, yes, he is evil and dangerous but not always. The line is also supported by a good amount of actions Crowley does within the show; not killing the goats nor kids, helping Aziraphale, trying to help Maggie and Nina, etc. But he's not necessarily NICE. He only chooses to be nice from time to time. Especially with Aziraphale, someone he considers close. Just like Bad. He's only nice to those close to him and he choses to be kind to others if he wants to. He's literally known as the islands babysitter and someone you can trust. He has experienced almost everything that has happened on the island since the start.

Now let's go to Mesopotamia, 3004 BC. Noah's Arc before the flood. Crowley finds out that God had gotten angry and planned to wipe out most of the human population. Including the kids (actually one's + baby goats). Crowley, despite being an entity of evil and this being in his lots range, it's too much for even God to do. The Federation being as messed up as it is, them kidnapping their children, doing experiments on these babies, and everything else is something way out of Bad's demonic morals. He's a entity of chaos and even this is too much. For Heavens sake, even MOUSE, the Queen of Hell, finds it all too much. Too much for a demon. A war that'll end Earth. A Federation and an Island filled with horrors and chaos.

2008-ish, 11 years before the war between Heaven and Hell, the apocalypse, Crowley is assigned to deliver the antichrist. Himself. He's all for the war, but him delivering it and realizing that it's actually going to happen is another thing. Bad is all for chaos, pranks, spying, and lieing but when it comes to doing that stuff for the Federation that doesn't benefit the Island but just them, that's something else. That is something he doesn't want to do, ever. He checks every task he's given or others are given to make sure it's nothing.

And another thing. Atlantis. Bad, upon his arrival, was part of a historical event that we can confirm as the sinking of Atlantis. Killing off everyone he loved. He's haunted by it, a reason for his paranoia. Crowley was the one who had to deliver the antichrist, being the reason why Earth might've ended, a guilt throughout the years before the end times were to happen.

Now, the following will be during the week when Armageddon is to happen. The end of the world:

"I didn't mean to fall, I just hanged around the wrong people" WHEN I TELL YOU I LOVE THIS LINE. And it fits q!Bad soooooo well. "I didn't mean to fall" HE DIDN'T MEAN TO FALL. Many members have mentioned how nice Bad is, and within the story when you think about it, it shows that Bad is kind in his way. He didn't mean to be a demon. If anything, he tries to hide that fact and that he was extremely dangerous that he sunk a city once and killed everyone he ever loved. During and after the acceptance stage, Bad has given in into his messed morals and demonic nature a bit more. He had to ACCEPT his demonic nature after so long of holding that guilt of being something that killed everyone he cared for. While he still does hide the fact he's a demon, he acts more like it now. "I didn't mean to fall".

And I don't mean that q!Bad never loved having power of destruction, as if he wouldn't be gossiping with the witches during the salem witch trials knowing one of them is going to die and praying on one of their deaths. But he never destroyed, he never did anything BIG. It's only small pranks and he usually leaves a present after. He now, he's testing, he's becoming more risky, more dangerous. He didn't mean to fall but he certainly doesn't want to be an angel again if he can't have as much fun as he's having.

"But evil always contains the seeds of it's own destruction" No matter how well crafted Bad's disguise is, the seed of his destruction he made is marked on that universe. While this line isn't really directly about Crowley nor did he say it, it is directed to Hell as a whole. No matter how well made their plan for the apocalypse, for the antichrist to be delivered to the right person, to have Hell win, there's always going to be something against them. Something from their plan. And in this case, it's Bad against himself.

"I'm a demon, I'm not nice. I'm never nice, nice is a four letter word" Now, we know Bad is kind and from times admits it. But he most usually says he's hardcore, not nice. That he literally has bad in his name. However, as mentioned, the islanders see him as a nice guy despite the chaos he would sometimes cause. Crowley said the line because Aziraphale said that Crowley had some kindness deep down inside him and by God if that isn't Bad. Might've taken a bit during his first years but he's nice deep down, just more dangerous and crazy the deeper you go.

Also, 6 years before the world is supposed to end, Crowley dresses up as a Nani, and Bad's the Islands babysitter. I don't know how much more proof you need ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Okay thanks for reading o/

[iwoszareba]

so that diamond ‘thoughts abt your character’ thing. I enjoy writing the clown man so every KC I feel I have decent enough grasp on gets a hot take. 

we are going with Knave as a companion bc that's the easiest option

I'm so sorry if you did not want to hear from him, some of his opinions are real garbage @dujour13 @commander-lariel @turbulentpumpkin43 @silversiren1101 @lairiend @angrygoatwoman @dmagedgoods @offsidekineticist @vulpineix @desnas @cassynite @spyridonya @undyingembers

Siavash

He is disgustingly sweet. And you think to yourself 'I can be a responsible adult and cut my sugar intake' but then you see that cookie box on the table and what are you supposed to do? Not take one? Or two? Or a dozen? I hate him. He is fun.

Lariel

She just radiates fear seemingly unprompted? Someone should get that fixed. For the sake of the crusade or something. Don't look at me, I don't know how nor am I inclined to. If the decision was up to me I would release the storm inside her to see what happens.

Zrise

He is so sour! And angry! Trying to get respect by being the meanest dog in the neighbourhood. But his bite matches his bark so it's all fine. And hey, I'm an honest fellow of honest pleasures so he can bite me any time he wants.

Ariadne

She is a hoot! Not many things in this world more exciting than a good explosion. And she provides those in spades. Surprisingly she also seems to like me? The other shoe will drop eventually I'm sure but for now I can just enjoy what we have.

Mino

I know she has chaos at her core, you can see it leak sometimes and it's glorious. But instead of indulging in it, it's like she's made an oath to try to be boring at all costs. Do you think it's Regill's influence? Can boring rub off on another person? What a terrifying thought.

Agria

This lady is on fire! Metaphorically I mean, I think she may end up burning herself, also metaphorically. But I have to admit I do enjoy watching the flames go higher (metaphorically and literally) so I'm here for it. Look at her go!

Oleander

Don't tell him this, I don't want him to start thinking I'm a possible convert but if I reeeeeeeally had to choose a god to worship it would be Lamashtu. I like to think we monster types have an understanding. Even when he is being all nice like a freak.

Salvadore

I feel like I'm supposed to hate him and I kinda do. Angel man with a stick up his ass. But then he does something unexpected and it's like: woah! Where did that come from? I'm begging you to show me more. I'm at the edge of my seat.

Theoven

Such a funny little guy! Like a cart on the path to a disaster no matter which track he picks. Honestly that's plenty enjoyable. And he has so much emotion in him, he should let loose more often! I can hardly believe he is related to Regill of all people.

Luthais

What a wet blanket of a person. Could you give us a single emotion? No? Okaaaaay I can drag something out of you but I don't think you will like it! Seriously, he is a piece of work. I get that he is doomed by the narrative but he could at least try to be funny about it.

Taro

Have you ever met someone who looks at a wild beast and thinks they can turn it into a friendly critter? I think that's how they look at me and it's extremely funny. But I can play along for a little while, why not. Watch me be the freakiest little azata.

Sparrow

She is like a box locked in a box locked in a box locked… You get the idea. I don't know what's at her core and at this point I'm not sure it's worth the effort. I'm still gonna try to get her riled up whenever possible. What else is there to do?

Kadira

It's comforting to see someone who got fucked up by Areelu just as bad. I think she should get angrier about it but hey. Good for her for having a semblance of emotional stability. Or maybe it's just an act? It would be fun to see her spiral. I mean that affectionately.

Lenarius/Leonosa

Not only is he all prim and proper but he also does not get annoyed easily. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with her! I guess I have to try harder? Really backing me into a corner here. Sigh. Maybe I should just kick back and take it easy.

[moistvonlipwig]

9, 10, and 12 for BtVS and/or AtS!

9. worst part of canon

OK, I'm splitting this into 2 answers, one for BtVS and one for AtS. For BtVS there are many contenders I could choose from -- I think Willow's magic addiction arc completely derailed her character, I think Spike's attempted rape of Buffy completely derailed both of their characters since the network was never going to get rid of Spike which meant that S7 had to be in large part about Buffy forgiving him, I think Buffy's choice to activate the potentials worldwide without their consent fundamentally undermines the themes of the show -- but I am going to go with the actual Slayer mythology they came up with in S7 because it is so incredibly racist.

As a refresher, in 7.15 "Get it Done" Buffy finds out through a ritual that places her in the shoes of the First Slayer (who, in another classic racist BtVS move, is never named by the show) that the Slayer was created when the precursors to the Watchers, the "Shadow Men", forced the spirit of a demon into a human woman. Which, OK, sure, but the actual scene frames this act as a metaphorical gang-rape perpetuated by a bunch of nameless black men against the First Slayer -- who, again, is represented in this scene by Buffy, a white woman. Which is bad enough, but it doesn't actually end there -- in 7.21 "End of Days" we meet a "Guardian", one of a group of women who created the Scythe and hid it away from the "Shadow Men" (terrible name with racist undertones) so it could one day be used by the Slayer. This woman, who is presumably from the same geographical location & time period as the First Slayer & the "Shadow Men"...is a blonde white woman. Because of course she is. :| Anyway, it's awful and racist and I hate it so much.

For AtS, there are also many contenders --I think Fred's death is hideously misogynistic, I think the implication in 4.15 "Orpheus" that Angel & Angelus are literally two different people is deeply damaging to the character & show, I think the fact that all the narratively important female characters are dead before the finale speaks for itself -- but I have to go with one specific, oft-underdiscussed yet crucial aspect of the Jasmine-possessing-Cordelia arc in S4. Which is that the audience is not let in on the fact that Cordelia is not herself until 4.12 "Calvary", and in 4.07 "Apocalypse, Nowish", Jasmine has sex with Connor while possessing Cordelia, an act that we the audience are meant to find objectionable & disgusting even without knowing about the possession. But because the audience does not know about the possession, the blame for this act of pseudo-incest falls on Cordelia. So for six straight episodes, the other characters and the audience are not just permitted but actively encouraged by the show to blame & vilify a woman for her own rape. I think that's utterly vile and it's by far the worst element of the S4 debacle. If I could change only one thing about the show, it would be that.

10. worst part of fanon

I know you've said you aren't so tapped in to the online side of fandom so I am truly sorry if I am the one who must inform you that there are a sizable number of people on this website who are very attached to the idea that Spike (yes, that Spike) is a lesbian. I don't just mean they make jokes about it; there are entire metas about why Spike is actually a woman and why Spuffy is a lesbian relationship. So, uh. If you didn't know. Now you know.

12. the unpopular character that you actually like and why more people should like them

See this is tough because the culture has changed so much on this site that I don't even know who's unpopular anymore! Cordelia and especially Dawn used to be unpopular on Tumblr but I don't actually think they are these days. I don't think Gunn is unpopular either though I do think he's underappreciated. But in terms of actually unpopular characters I am going to go to bat for my mans Connor Angel. I do think the writing did not always serve him very well but his actions are completely sympathetic if you get inside his head and he is also so so funny and sassy like all 3 of his parents. (Angel, Darla, & Cordelia. NOT counting Holtz. He can choke.)

[adelha-mathilde]

Protecting Loved Ones (Obey Me!) fanfic

content: A letter threatening violence against Adelha's loved ones arrives for her to discuss things with Lucifer and Diavolo. But the one to get hurt is not someone anyone would have expected. Established relationships. Injuries and blood happen. As well as death and dismemberment.

The Fangol game was in full swing when Adelha arrived. With Lucifer and Diavolo noticing her frantic expression to give her their attention. A letter in her hands for Lucifer to read it and scowl. So he handed it to Diavolo as Adelha scanned the crowd. The Avatar of Pride getting Solomon's attention to bring him into the loop as the fans cheered. Solomon made his way over as Adelha spotted Luke and Simeon to sprint over to them and just have her hug tackle Luke right away. Making the little angel squeak in surprise to then hug her back. Solomon asking out loud, "I take it someone has sent yet another deplorable threat to one of our friends? This is getting tedious, Lucifer."

Lucifer nodded to pinch the bridge of his nose as Diavolo handed the letter over to a waiting Barbatos. His words holding deep concern and anger as he did so. "Death threats again. But this time they target ones Adelha loves. Which means we have a list a mile long to cover. I knew many of my subjects would abject to letting the Fae live in the Devildom. Yet I did not expect for this much push back and this constant level of violence towards the Fae. It's rather... Vexing."

Barbatos bowed his head to note with his own words, "The vipers show their true natures for us to behead with purpose. As such, I will have the proper measures set into place right away." Another cheer surrounded them as Lucifer sent a quick text to all of his brothers and his pact human. The only one not responding being Beelzebub. Since he was playing in the Fangol game. Which left Lucifer with a bad feeling that he acted upon. His steps heading closer to the Fangol field as Mammon actually vaulted up into the air to get a better view of the area. With Asmodeus joining him as several spectators start pointing up at Mammon.

Yet no one expects what happens next. Since the opposing Fangol team surround Beelzebub and draw cursed knives to openly charge him. The spectators and Beelzebub's team shouting in alarm as Beelzebub does his best to back up and ready for a fight to the death. With several of his team mates flanking him to protect him. The attackers gladly stabbing the two as Lucifer charged with all due speed to Beelzebub as Mammon and Asmodeus dove to do much the same. Even Diavolo charged forth with all his power to get in on the fighting and to protect his friends. Several screams and shouts sounding out as the bleachers burst into chaos as spectators tried to flee for their lives.

Solomon was instantly beside Adelha to shield her and Luke from a shadowed figure who came after them with a similar looking cursed spear. With Adelha literally drawing her broadsword instantly to behead the attacker with one fluid motion as Simeon shielded Luke from the sight with his own body. The little angel letting out a shout of pure terror as the battle began. Leviathan choosing to wash all the enemies coming at him from below the bleachers back down with crushing force. While Satan and Belphegor got their game faces on to start hexing their attackers with their power. While Barbatos collected the one human exchange student and ensure they were safe from any and all threats.

Adelha looked absolutely furious for her whole frame to be glowing and for steam to billow up from her body. Her steps having her vault from one opponent to the next to be wielding her broadsword with mastered precision and grace. Every enemy falling with little to no trouble as the Avatars of Sin ruined their opponents with just as much practiced brutality. While Diavolo made his every attacker nothing but ash and dust from his sheer anger and power. Yet one of them did get hurt. That one being Beelzebub. Since he had at least twenty attackers surrounding him when he was giving his every effort to protect his two team mates without shielding himself. Meaning he got stabbed in several places before anyone could stop it. Two knives in his leg. One in his arm. With three going right into his back where his wings were connected to his back. Which meant his wings came right off when the knives spiked with cursed thorns to rend and tear open flesh. Making Beelzebub roar in pain and anger as his two team mates fell to the ground.

Yet in the next second, Lucifer let his full power loose for every opponent around them on the field to go down from being set on fire with pure black flames. Diavolo soon doing much the same for every enemy to crumble into dust as Adelha sprinted to Beelzebub. Her broadsword dropped instantly for her to grab Beelzebub before he fell over and onto his face. Solomon soon there with Simeon to begin healing the two team members before they died. While Beelzebub gripped onto Adelha with hisses of pure pain as she washed all of her healing magic over him. Mammon soon there to help keep Beelzebub upright for Adelha to do her thing. While Asmodeus ended up collapsing close by to have a cursed knife in his side. So Satan helped Asmodeus lay down to begin using his own limited healing magic as their pact human ran over to help with the healing.

It takes a bit of time to move everyone back to the Demon Lord's Castle for getting cleaned up and extended healing treatments. With Adelha holding on to Beelzebub the entire time to have been pouring her strongest magics into him to fill the rending tears the cursed thorn knives left behind. So by the time an hour has passed, Beelzebub is fully healed and able to move without any pain. But it does leave Adelha completely spent. Yet she tries to get up and head for wherever Asmodeus is so she might do the same for him. But Beelzebub ends up grabbing her from behind to tug her into his lap and hug her tight. Making her huff as Lucifer soon is standing at the door. His wings shivering as he speaks to them with a trace of warmth. "Asmodeus is fine and currently getting spoiled by his two pact humans. So there is no need for you to tend to him, Margaret. We would have had a feast being prepared for us. Yet a lot of food keeps being sent here by the spectators of the Fangol game. So please try and rest now."

Adelha sighed to try and get out of Beelzebub's hug with little energy to do so with any real hope of success. "Lucifer. I will rest when I have seen with my own two eyes that all the ones I love here are well and safe. To tell me to do otherwise is like asking the sun not to rise." Lucifer gave a half smile at this as Beelzebub gave Adelha a squeeze for her to squeak. So the Avatar of Gluttony chuckled with that loving rumble of noise before he spoke up. "We know you have to go and see everyone. Part of being a dragon protecting their treasure. But you used up all your magic already. If you keep walking around and do more magic for anyone, it'll make you sick or have you pass out. I don't want that." Lucifer nodded as he then added in, "You are also covered in blood and ash. Not the best way to go and see the others, Margaret. Barbatos is setting up two wooden bathtubs in the same room with curtains and natural sea water in the bath for you. Thirteen will be helping you scrub out your hair as Belphegor helps Beelzebub get presentable. Mammon is already at your home with your guardian to collect your Paw Posse and some clothes for you."

Beelzebub smiles to then carefully stand up with Adelha in his arms. Pausing only to give Adelha several kisses to her face before he runs his nose to hers. To which she rubs her nose to his right back as Beelzebub speaks. "It's going to be okay and we are all safe. So please don't do anything that might hurt you. I would rather that you be okay and smiling, Delly. Now let's follow Lucifer so we can get cleaned up and sitting down with everyone for some tasty food."

[aemehhh]

Heya! I don’t usually wrote requests so sorry if I come off as awkward😅 I was wondering if you could write a small thing about gorino being with someone who’s insecure about their height

I’m 5’10 and sometimes I just feel down about it Yknow? I don’t feel desirable because guys prefer short girls or whatever, if this is to much you can completely ignore this. I do really enjoy your work btw<33

YAY!! I got my first ever request!!! :D

It's definitely not too much to ask, I think this is an amazing request! I had to ask some of my tall girlie friends about their experiences, because I am on the opposite end of the height-spectrum 💀 This is also a little rushed, so I'm sorry if it doesn't meet your expectations!

Also, I am so sorry I took so long to write the request! I hope you had a wonderful start to the new year!

Little message to the Readers in general; I just want everybody to know, you're absolutely gorgeous, no matter your height!!!

Giorno is ~20 and Reader and him are engaged, so it's an established relationship :3

Giorno with a tall! fem! Reader

Wc: 905, a short lil thing!

———————————————————————

This day was genuine ass. You went shopping with you friend and genuinely couldn't find a single piece of clothing that looked good or that fit right. Jeans that looked perfect on your shorter friend were way above your ankle on yourself and the long-sleeved shirts you tried, since winter is approaching, just looked so weird on you. You didn't even attempt to look for shoes, instead you told your friend you were going home because of an "emergency".

And there you were, sitting on your bed, cuddled up in a blanket and reading a book in order to distract you from the loud voice of insecurity that rang in the back of your head. Turns out the book wasn't helping, though.

It was a regular romance book, sappy as shit and a slow-burn. Usually you ate these up like crazy, but the main character was described as a short, beautiful woman. There it was again; having to lean up on your tip-toes to kiss your partner, your partner looking down at you, all those things that were considered super cutesy and desirable. You weren't that. You threw the book on the bedside table with a mad huff, throwing your blanket over your head.

Fuck, no, you're literally taller than your beautiful, angel of a fiancé. You lean down slightly when you kiss him, and you don't have to stand on your tip-toes in order to hug him. You just knew the nonnas on the streets send judging looks your way when they see you two holding hands.

Speaking of your fiancé, he entered your shared bedroom, seemingly home from whatever job he had today. You were aware Giorno most-likely already knew you didn't buy anything today; you've seen his subordinate follow you around the whole time. To be frank, you kinda signed up for constant supervision when you started dating the Don of Passione.

"Cara mia, are you alright?" Giorno spoke softly, he always does so with you. His voice held the upmost adoration for you; a tone nobody got to hear, but you. He knelt down on the floor by your bedside and lifted your blanket slightly to look at you. His beautiful, bright eyes met yours as he took your hand into his.

"Just a bad day, don't mind me, my love." You spoke and sat up. You felt Giorno's hand grasp yours just a tad tighter.

"I do mind, though. Something is bothering you, I can see that clear as day. Alessandro told me you didn't get yourself anything today either. What's the matter, amore? Please let me know so I can take some of the burden off of your heart." Giorno reached up and put his hand on your cheek oh-so gently. His touch was full of love, as usual.

You averted your gaze to your sheets. You felt stupid for thinking the way you do. You know all too well that Giorno loves you more than anything in this world, but you don't feel as desirable as other women. They would look so much better by his side, so why did he choose you?

You were silent for a little while, but then you started to feel guilty. Not telling him would make him feel as though you didn't trust him, which you did. So, you took a deep breath and told him everything. You spoke about your shopping trip; how it made you insecure about your height again and then about how your book made it worse. All in all, your head really wasn't up in the clouds and by the end, you almost had tears pricking in the corner of your eyes, which you tried masking by blinking a lot and looking at the ceiling.

Giorno noticed, of course. He stroked your cheek gently and pressed a kiss to the back of your hand before he spoke again.

"Amore, you're the most beautiful woman that has walked this earth. I do not care about your height in the slightest. I love you more than I have ever loved anything ever before. If these measly, cheap stores do not carry clothes appropriate for you, I will hire the designers personally to tailor the perfect clothing for you. If someone looks at you the wrong way, consider them dead tomorrow. There is nothing that would stop me from making sure you're comfortable and happy. You're the light of my life, the ray of sunshine in the early mornings of a beautiful summer day and I wish, I so wish you would see yourself in the way that I see you. You're perfect to me in every way, my love. Just seeing you smile makes my heart fill with so much joy, I wish to scream it out to the whole world. Sono pazzo di te, tesoro." Giorno's voice was filled with sincerity as he put a hand to your chin, gently tilting your head to face his eyes again. He then smiled and gave you a gentle peck on the lips before getting on the bed on top of you to hug you tightly.

Giorno's words made you smile as you returned his embrace, croaking out a quiet "I love you" before burying your head in the juncture between his neck and shoulder.

In a world that doesn't see your worth, Giorno worships the very ground you walk on. He vows to do so until the day he dies.
