@matan4il blew my mind today during her lecture on the history of antisemitism when she explained that non-Jews' hostility toward us for keeping Shabbat is probably the original source of their characterization of us as both lazy and greedy

Heaven in Good Omens is fascinating because it works on a lot of different scales of metaphor. It’s an abusive family it’s a cult it’s a toxic workplace it’s an authoritarian state. All of those metaphors fit.

When Crowley talks about his fall he tends to talk in individual terms, in terms of his personal relationship to God. He’s the kid getting kicked out of the house for not conforming. He talks to God like a family member. Why did you do this to me? I only ever asked questions.

But whether Crowley, individually, deserved to fall or not is not really the point. (Although he didn’t.) It’s that the Fall as a whole was a disproportionate response to the whole situation, intended to scare the remaining angels into never doing that again.

This becomes immediately apparent when you zoom out to the scale of looking at Heaven as a society or a state. Yes I am aware that the war in Heaven predates the Geneva Conventions by some time, but expelling the entire losing side of a civil war from their home territory is generally frowned upon in human conflicts. On this scale, it’s blindingly obvious that this whole response is fucked.

It’s not about whether Crowley is Good, Actually, and therefore his individual fall was a mistake (which is how I think Aziraphale sees the situation) or whether Crowley did something “worse” than asking questions that we might not know about yet. It’s not about Crowley at all! It’s that no one deserves eternal permanent exile for dissent!

It’s an institutional problem.

fallen london is the experience of going haha I love quirky dark alternate victorian london. :) there are squids walking around. :) i made a little guy for it and he's an urchin.

two years later: we are all pieces in a larger imperialist game that I once glimpsed through a veil made of dreams in the colour of forgetfulness. my grief is fuel for the tears that will drown another city. there are hierarchies within hierarchies within hierarchies and they are all devouring each other in petty strife at the expense of those below them. monkeys are sinners and, contrary to that published thesis, not the highest epitome of morality or contentment. i have married the squid.

so I had a Big Brain Moment...

had this been done? I don't think it has

there's so much more I couldn't fit. so much more. feel free to expand on this (or make it look better)

other things:

since avatar is based off of Asian culture technically zuko also helped save China

all could be seen as an lgbt allegory

mulan and zuko both fighting for their honor (why didn't I think of that sooner, it's so obvious!)

atla had the kyoshi warriors and mulan fought with a fan

atla and mulan both had a strong woman having men to do drag

all have fairly recognizable voices

all at some point had talking animals (mushu, aang's sleep deprivation hallucinations scene)

zuko and mulan both had pivotal hair cutting scenes

all of them being physically different than others in some way (po being the only panda at first and being made fun of for being fat, mulan being a woman warrior, zuko and his scar) (this along with other things fits into the lgbt allegory idea)

badass old men (iroh and bumi, oogway and shifu, the emperor)

po and mulan both meet flower symbolism (the peach tree vs the cherry blossom tree)

atla and kung-fu panda both have turtles/tortoises as wise figures

mulan and zuko both wear badass clothes

all underdogs who eventually earn the respect of pretty much everyone in their stories

zuko and po both being the comic relief at some point

zuko and po both joining an already well-established team and feeling left out at first (the gaang, the furious five)

shifu and iroh both essentially losing a son but in wildly different ways

lotus symbolism (po's birth name being little lotus, iroh's white lotus group, again the flower blooming quote for mulan)

mulan and po being bowed to by someone higher up than them (the emperor, shifu)

I wanna post whatever the fuck I want but I don’t wanna make a side blog so my solution is just to post intrusive thoughts and then delete them quickly . Hence giving only a small pool of people the chance to see them

I firmly believe that when Alastor first came to hell, he went to Cannibal Town and Rosie was his mentor until he was strong enough to become an overlord himself. More importantly Rosie definitely has Al's teenage bedroom that she's left completely untouched in case he decides he wants to come home. What embarrassing posters and trinkets did lil baby Alie have in there and how many dead deer have been kicked under the bed
