Looking Back at the Games I Played in 2023

Looking back at all the games I played in 2023.

I played a lot of games in the last year. I’m not really going to go into my thoughts on every game, as most of them have a review on my blog. I’ll link those where appropriate, if there isn’t a review of the game specifically on my blog, then I’ll link my playthrough on Twitch as I generally discuss my thoughts as I’m playing them. I also included a highlight reel from my Twitch streams, since a…

Also since I'm trying to flesh out the characters and shit (just through like little things like how Susie has a job as a demonlogist now which is a person who studies demons and shit, and is actually doing pretty good in life and is a bit nicer to both Skid and Pump now that she's not a teenager anymore /lh)—I was thinking of jobs to give the older Hatzgang in this au.

Like maybe Roy is a rapper or some shit, or he just started his career as a rapper and while he isn't well known he's actually doing pretty good. And plus he's cut all contact with his family an drives with both Robert and Ross now, so he's DEFINTELY doing good. /lh

OOOO HELL YEAH!!!

Omg Roy becoming an actual rapper... I love that actually

Ross and Robert sometimes assist him with songs!!

[pm] Hope so. Really don't think I rock the whole hand prints on my neck thing. [...] It's fine. It's not the first time a demon's grabbed me and knowing my luck it won't be the last.

Me either but that was the only demonlogist I could get in such short notice. Bullshit right?

@the-lil-exorcist from here:

[pm] It's sore and I got a pretty nifty bruise but other then being raspy I'm fine. Father Liam wanted to go check on you but I told him the wrong address.

​[pm] Ah, should heal quick enough. Still not fun. Sorry you got grabbed.

Appreciate that. Don't want any priests coming by my place. Think I'd have to move. Bad enough he saw me like that. Bad enough anyone did.

very amateur demonologists

For @whumptober day 1: A Little Out of the Ordinary, using all three of the prompts: "adverse effects," "unconventional restraints," and "this wasn't supposed to happen."

Featuring Aziraphale and a surprise special guest demon! Unfortunately, it's not the one Aziraphale would prefer.

Content warning for violence against demonologists and mild gore.

"Is it dead?"

"Don't think so."

Aziraphale's head felt heavy and full of fuzz, and he couldn't quite feel his… something. He didn't know what he couldn't quite feel, but it was a distinctly unpleasant lack of sensation.

"Come on, wake up," said a voice, irritably.

He suppressed the urge to tell the voice that he did not sleep and therefore did not need to wake up, but that would have required opening his eyes, and he didn't think that worked for him just now, and so, out of spite, he resolved not to move for as long as it took for whoever it was to go away. Between the indignity of being told to wake up and being called it he was prepared to wait centuries. But then he felt a sudden sharp pain in his ribs, and jolted upright.

His wings. He couldn't feel his wings. When he opened his eyes they were out, technically, only they seemed to be flickering in and out of existence. Without particularly thinking, he grabbed the thing he'd been poked with -- a large stick -- and yanked it from the hands of the young man who'd been poking him with it. He looked a bit taken aback, but Aziraphale was not planning to afford him any charity. "Who are you?" he demanded, and then a terrible numbing weakness caused him to drop the stick.

"Don't tell it anything," said the fellow, picking the stick back up. He brandished it at Aziraphale.

"Don't think that's a demon, mate," said the other voice. This one belonged to a different young man. "I mean, look at the wings."

Aziraphale looked, slightly dizzily, between the two of them. He tried to say something, but he was having trouble forming words while this strange numbness coursed through him.

"It turned up in a summoning circle," said the first one. "That means it's a demon, yeah?"

"Dunno about that," said the second one. "Like, remember the time you were trying to trap an escaped lion or whatever --"

"We were twelve, it's different --"

"-- and instead you just got my little brother?"

"That really isn't --"

"It's pretty much the same, yeah."

"All right, but look, at least it has wings. And," said the (apparently very amateur) demonologist, as if he was going to make an excellent point in his next sentence, "this is why I did two demon summoning circles."

"So you could get two things that aren't demons?" his friend asked.

"No? I thought if one of them didn't work --"

There was a pop! from somewhere off to Aziraphale's right.

"Yeah, that's more like it!" said the demonlogist, and Aziraphale managed to turn and stare blearily at the figure in the other summoning circle. He had just enough time to think, disappointedly, Oh, that's not Crowley, before the figure stepped out of the circle and raked clawed hands across the amateur demonologist's throat, ripping it out with ease, then picked up the stick and impaled his fleeing friend with it.

"Pff. Fucking amateurs," said Dagon, watching her second victim writhe in pain as she licked the first human's blood from her hands. Without turning to look at him, she shouted, "Can't imagine who else'd be stupid enough to be caught by these idiots, but don't think you're just going to laze around in there just because some demonologist's got you. Well?"

Perhaps she would just leave in disgust if Aziraphale didn't say anything. Maybe then he would be able to work out how to get out of this mess.

"Oh come on, I haven't got all day," said Dagon, irritably, and taking the stick out of the unfortunate human (who began to try and crawl away) she turned and brandished it at him. But she was so surprised to see him that whatever lecture she'd been about to give about avoiding work died in her throat. "You!" she said.

There are people out there who do perform exorcisms/cleansings...I know that Zak Bagans had a priest of some sort on Ghost Adventures a few times. They aren't Catholic priests- the Catholic church has a super involved process for determining if someone is possessed, and for handling exorcisms if they determine one is needed*- and they are very superstitious about this type of stuff, so I don't ever see them participating- but other religions may have different rules and guidelines.

Honestly, their best bet, if they want to go that route, is a demonologist- like the guy they used in the Origins series.

*disclaimer: not saying I believe in any of this, or saying the Catholic church has the patent on exorcisms. I'm not overly religious, but was raised Catholic, and the boys used a Catholic prayer in the Conjuring, so I'm going with what I know here.

i gotta be honest, how does a normal person just get into performing exorcisms?? like what life path do you go down to get there lol

priest are different, especially since most don't do exorcisms, and the ones that do have to do a church approved one, which is strange.

i think a demonlogist would be cool to have with them, or just a different medium. maybe even a witch of some sort.

just literally anyone other than amanda lol

The difference in characterization between Book!Crowley and Show!Crowley is really interesting cause........ in both the book and the show we get basically the same data it's just that the difference in how and when it's presented changes the way Crowley is framed.

Both Show!Crowley and Book!Crowley created the M25 in basically the same way and both ended up being highly regarded for it ("The work you did on the M-25 was a stroke of Demonic genius, darling"), but in the book it's one of Crowley's first pieces of characterization, it’s literally how we’re properly introduced to him after the Eden prolouge. It's the Third Person Omniscient Narrator explaining how it generates so much evil and even mentions it's widely regarded as a great work of evil even among human Demonlogists and we get details about how satisfied Crowley was with his work. It immediately paints the picture of someone who IS dedicated to spreading Sin and can work hard for it, just in his own modern quantity-over-quality way. The M25 paints our impression of Book!Crowley through the whole story.

But when it comes right in the middle of the climax, and with *Crowley* explaining it all to a bunch of confused and bored and unimpressed Demons - it doesn't detract from Show!Crowley coming off as more intersted in bullshitting his way into doing as little work as possible. 

It’s highly likely Book!Crowley also got confused stares and ‘what’s a computer?’ when he tried to explain it too. Book!Crowley is very frustrated with Hell’s inabillity to get modern technology, and we *know* Hell eventually came around on the M25 in the Show version considering Literal Satan praised Crowley for his work on it. But the difference between what information we *know* and what information we can only assume, changes the way it makes us feel about Crowley. 

Same also go for the Arrangement, the Arrangement is pretty much the same in the book and the show; ‘stay out of each other’s way, lend a hand when needed’. But the show gives a lot more focus on the latter than the former. The book mentions Aziraphale and Crowley occasionally covering for each other’s quotas, but also that they would leave the other alone so they could work on their personal Goodness\Evil spreading projects and also basically decide spesific parts of Britain are areas just one of them can spread goodness or evil in???? Again, this is all probably still Show-Canon, but we don’t dwell on it as much and so it seems like the Arrangement is just about minimizing work.

AND about Crowley’s taking-credit-for-humanity’s-atrocities. Both Book and Show Crowley took credit for the Spanish Inquisition, but in the book it was explicitly unintentional (he didn’t even KNOW it was happening, he was just visiting Spain to spend some time in the cantinas, Hell assumed all of the Evil going on was the work of their agent working in the area, only when he received the  commendation he decided to check what all the fuss is about and when he realized what was going on he got drunk for a week). He ran with it afterward and I doubt he felt GUILTY for lying about it but....... the show doesn’t mention that but also mention other Big Human Atrocities that were misattributed (intentionally or unintentionally) to Crowley. And since, save for the M25, we don’t have the narrator\God telling us about the evil projects Crowley ACTUALLY did, or even Crowley’s internal monologue explaining why he thinks that knocking out the cellphone networks in all of London IS doing important sin-spreading work - it’s easier to read Crowley as either taking credit for all human evils and just occasionally causing some minor annoyances. (As a rule of thumb: Big Horrible Tragedies: Never Crowley, just humans being humans. Small, Petty and Mundane stuff: Might be Crowley)

I’ve seen someone say that Show!Crowley *claims* to have invented the Selfie - and I can totally see why a show-only fan would be like “Yeah he took credit for inventing the Selfie, taking credit for inventing human stuff is Crowley’s thing”. I am not saying these fans Did Analysis Wrong, this is a very valid way to read Show!Crowley. Espacially as it’s just some minor Demon delivering the information. It’s just funny because ACTUALLY inventing the Selfie is 100% Book!Crowley’s MO.

local demonlogist continues to spew bullshit, more news at 11

[knightdriven]

"Hey. Watch out for them, okay?"

       “   NO JOHN.   “ the words roll off his lips in a firm tone, contrasting with the soft expression that fell across his countenance. this no doubt would be the GREATEST threat they will have ever come across. allowing this thing   ——   this DEMON inside of him was perhaps on the cusp of pure idiocy, but the driver knew that john was left no choice. anger consumed his very being at this turn of events, but chas wouldn’t blame anyone for the outcome. not john   &   definitely not anne marie. however, now there was a very good chance that they would lose john to pazuzu’s full possession,   &   chas knew he would not be strong enough to handle the emotional turmoil that would come with losing his best friend to such a horrific fate. he’s fighting an internal battle within himself, desperate not to allow any more emotion flood through his features, wanting to remain a calm facade before the demonlogist so as not to alarm him. chas wasn’t versed in the dark arts like john was   ——   he practically was USELESS. unable to contribute anything but extra muscle   &   blind support. he felt horrible that he couldn’t do more to help. 

       “   this is NOT the end,   “ the driver affirms, mainly to himself more than anyone. “   we still have the exorcism. i’m not giving up all hope just yet, so don’t you DARE wallow in self-pity   &   despair. i won’t let it get to you.  “ because i can’t deal with that. i can’t deal with dealing with this CURSED life alone.

what unsolved mystery do you want to see next? demonic laughter? it's a jacuzzi?

hey there! thanks for asking!

what unsolved mystery do you want to see next // anything supernatural/crime-y you want the boys to investigate?

I would like shane and ryan to investigate the case on Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm or the case of the Pollock Twins or the case of the disappearance of the princes in the tower or the case of the atlas vampire killing.

demonic laughter // do you think people can get possessed?

yes, absolutely yes. I am a believer of the supernatural and the existence of a spiritual world or demonic beings. I believe that people can be under the influence of spritual or demonic beings. I enjoy researching about it through the works of demonlogists such as Ed and Lorraine Warren and it has ultimately led me to be interested in the buzzfeed unsolved series.

it's a jacuzzi? // what’s your favorite part of your home?

my bedroom! it was where most of my songwriting took place and where I feel the most safe. when I am sad, I always go to my room to calm down or cry.
