#definitely going to buy this book

[abastardworthknowing]

I keep flip-flopping between which of Azicrow would be Elphaba or Glinda in a Wicked!Good Omens AU…

In some ways our dear Aziraphale is like Glinda, that seems the obvious answer, doesn't it? However, some of Elphaba's traits certainly ring true for Aziraphale too.

He has been known to follow the status quo, even at the detriment of himself, Crowley and the Earth. But when it matters, he puts his foot down and says enough is enough. This cannot happen. Sometimes he needs Crowley's help to push him to reconsider things, or think of it differently. Alternatively, he is already capable of making his own decisions and has been ostracised by Heaven. But then again... when it comes to taking that leap to leave, Aziraphale can't do it. But for reasons dissimilar to Glinda's morals and more inline with Elphaba's morals instead. Also, I can't lie, Elphaba's slight feelings of superiority to others falls inline with Aziraphale thinking he's right quite often 😂

Of course, our darling Crowley can be much like Elphaba too! But he does have some of Glinda's traits as well!

He's also been ostracised, in fact not just by Heaven but by Hell too! But much like Glinda he does seek his own ambition/self-preservation over that of others. He is constantly pushing Aziraphale to think for himself, that they don't need any side but their own. There's something in the way Glinda reacts to Elphaba that feels like the same Yearning that Crowley must feel. The looking on in silence... you see what I'm getting at? I don't know how Ariana did it, but Glinda does feel as though she has a deep connection to Elphaba that feels unmatched by nothing but Azicrow's connection. And they've not even known each other as long!! I digress! This is silly but the amount of Clothes Glinda has, is more akin to Crowley, HAH. Elphaba's individuality from everyone else's is more closely related to Crowley, though he probably follows whatever is popular, like Glinda does.

I think overall Aziraphale is more mixed than Crowley? Plus, they can't both be Elphaba! So while Crowley, to me, feels a lot more like Elphaba generally, Aziraphale would likely take Glinda's role. I ultimately came to the conclusion that if there was a Wicked AU the story would have turned out much differently. If I were to write it, Aziraphale would assume Glinda's role, but it would be a bit like he was secretly like Elphaba.

EDIT when I say Crowley feels like Elphaba, I'm not sure what I meant... but when I see Glinda yearning for Elfie, it does make me think of Crowley. Even though Aziraphale does it a bit more in the text, iirc? Anyway, I don't think these characters can be swapped with as much ease as I thought! They're far too complex for that

happy TEN FUCKING YEARS since @gaslampsglow and I shared the only bed, bit each other platonically, fell asleep curled up against each other, and only finally kissed and admitted we were into each other after waking up later that day. (then we had sex like forty seven times.) three months later I moved into their house, and today we made bacon and toast with jam and bingewatched the series finale of ARCANE and screamed and took the dog for a long walk and showed each other things on the internet and went out for dinner and affogato in a favourite neighborhood. tomorrow we make our Sunday morning trek to the farmers market. love you, let's do this a thousand more times. we can cronenberg's-the-fly the genders around again; I bet we can still make some new ones.

The independent religious bookstore is the only place you can go on an overpriced shopping spree and feel good about it.

i need to buy another lighter and also dramamine and maybe a keychain

For the record, vaspider has not issued a refund of any sort, not that I asked for such a thing. I got a further long winded, demeaning email before blocking them in my email contacts. Again, you can read their actual emails and my responses for yourselves in Jaydee's posts and I recommend doing that over taking the word of someone who went for the throat when I was just trying to figure out what went wrong with my order. And btw when a blind person tells you their screen reader didn't read your site, that's someone who uses the tech daily and knows what they're talking about.

HOZIER & his favourite books I Hugendubel Booketlist

I am making my way through some of the Hozier interviews and this one is still the most relatable ever. Also I did not know this was for a German bookstore.

I'm waiting on the library so I can listen to the last two books in the Murderbot Diaries. I technically could buy the next two dramatized audiobooks, but I'd rather buy the series in book form and if I buy the last two audiobooks I'd need to buy the first five so I could relisten to them all and then well, I'll have spent so much money that buying the physical books would be out of my budget

[nexus-nebulae]

just realised that the first media we consumed that made us REALLY sympathetic for the monster was that fucking point and click Mystery Case Files Ravenhearst game. bc that entire game i was legitimately fucking TERRIFIED of the ghost lady in that game but the second i found out her husband was abusive i doubled down on trying to help her escape. and the ending of that game Did make me cry out of fear but hey at least i did in fact help her escape

Mmm

Ugh. Writing is on the wall for this one folks. I'm trying to remain positive but I will be surprised if Adams stays on the Flash series after the Flash #800.

[cw vent: chronic illness, general world politics mention w no detail)

"man. i'm so tired. i feel like i can't do anything selfship related. is it because my energy's been sapped from family visiting and everyone wanting to do ~summer activities~ nonstop? am i so in my head about "getting ren's story right without stepping over any lines" that i've backed myself into a perfectionist corner? is the world just going to shit so hard that i can't have one (1) minute of escape on this blog before going back to working through the political hellscape we're in? god even trying to make this plushie pattern is killing me even though i want to hold my guy So Badly AUGH."

/finishes the plushie pattern after trying multiple body bases and literally buying a japanese ebook about plushie face and hair design/
