I was tagged by @thesixthstar to post gifs of 10 of my favorite movies without naming them, then tag 10 people to do the same. I'm going to cheat and name the movies in the tags, though if you know me, you probably already know what most of them are. Let's go!

...I'm stopping at 7 because I am under pressure and can't remember any other movies I've ever seen in my life but ANYWAY

tagging @fatalcookies @dancingalongthestars @saskiavalentineapologist @radio-raven @starberry-cupcake @eighthdoctor @willowenigma and I'm only tagging seven because I only picked seven movies. No pressure, of course, and if anyone I didn't tag wants to do this, go for it!

DeLune is not a woman who tends to equate love with commitment either so like. She's been in love before, just not settled down, really. The settling down would surprise her, but gently so, as she's just... at a good time in her life to start thinking about it.

@fatalcookies

ok so LIKE

In a deviation from canon, Shade’s only on earth because armageddon is coming someday, and she’s the Almighty’s most trusted strategist. I know this is also veering way off all conventional understanding of the hierarchy of angels, but I think our girl’s a seraph. I mean come on--little miss “think nothing but devotion”? The character who was so over the top in her praise of her boss that a complete third party called the relationship “an altar” to be “sacrificed on”? Seraphim is translated as “the burning ones” and Shade is burning inside and out in any version of her you want to construct. She’s way beyond goodness, she’s about PURITY. She is a slave to the theoretical ultimate perfection of the divine plan. Holy holy holy, bitch!

But...she has a secret.

It’s the same secret she has in canon.

She loves life.

She doesn’t know why and it kind of scares her. She has eternal bliss at her fingertips if she just keeps following all the rules, and she’s great at following all the rules. But at the same time, perfection is simultaneously incredibly hectic and kind of boring. After an eternity of serving at the height of passion, unchanging, unerring, a body gets a bit worn out, and starts to think it might be nice to just, curl up with some brief ephemeral story. Something a bit less than perfect, a bit less than eternal--just to see what it was like. And fortunately the divine, in her unerring wisdom, was just on time to tell one, which started, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”

And so she goes to earth, and she’s just barely constrained in a quite handsome--entirely bespoke!--human body, whose eyes she only occasionally lights up with white flame, and promptly occupies herself with performing understated miracles of toy repair for random children, dressing like the pits of fashion, sipping espresso in cafes, skulking around the edges of literary society Orlando-style but in a theoretically specifically benevolent fashion, and justifying everything to herself one way or another.

And yes like...Shade is pretty sensible, she’s not going to get into the exact same nonsense on earth that Aziraphale did, but if you really think she’s not going to get into any nonsense at all then I feel really bad for you because clearly you’ve never met...wlw in general

She’s kind--never indulgent, but kind--and polite, and nobody really minds her above or below, because she’s very careful to maintain her Purity by never questioning anything or really putting anything in place besides that which she’s been told to. One of her main justifications for everything she’s been getting up to is to assume that if the Almighty didn’t want her to do it, she wouldn’t be able to, because she certainly doesn’t have free will...does she?

Shade is a pseudonym she took on to represent the humility of her human side, by the way, signifying its total inferiority to the radiance of God. I don’t know what God calls her when she’s a blinding, burning figure at the side of the great throne. Perhaps it’s Lux.

Now. Bolt. You may have been asking yourself, “How are you gonna cast the sweet, soft, motherly team healer as the demon in this? Even Crowley has it in him to be a bit of a curmudgeon sometimes and Bolt just doesn’t” and that is true.

But I have this to say:

Hell hath no fury like a tenderhearted gay disaster scorned.

Okay, it’s not all, like, completely personal. The majority of the soul reaping that Bolt accomplishes doesn’t require her to do anything besides exist. Because she’s a sweet, pretty, competent woman who listens, and she’s also the biggest lesbian in the world, and her numbers look fine back at home office because men are just like that. She doesn’t have to tempt anybody she’s literally just There

But sometimes, with the ladies, it’s more, and sometimes she is there for an extended period, and sometimes she feels something beyond pragmatic compassion and that something quickly turns to heartbreak. Because she will never not be a demon, and humans will never lack the ability to redeem themselves. With them she’s never more than a temptation, a distraction, a stumble on the straight and narrow--never chased, never cherished, never allowed to grow old beside. They abandon her, they hurt her, just like God did, and they never regret it, because it was the right thing to do. So, you know, every once in a while, when it’s really too much to take, when she really has to do something for once, to hell with them.

The thing is that in vol. 1 Bolt certainly feels enormous degrees of love, but she doesn’t really have a moral code beyond “make the people around me happy so that they’ll like me and pay attention to me.” If she felt underappreciated in heaven, would she run to Lucifer’s side knowing she would be praised and made to feel special there? Abso-HECKING-lutely.

Of course, it takes more than just her feelings to make her fall. As with canon Bolt, she falls FOR someone.

Who does she fall for, in this universe?

Ready for this?

Eve.

Oh, it wasn’t entirely selfish. She certainly THOUGHT about the unfairness, the way God set them up for the Fall. And yes hell sent her to make it happen, so she can certainly claim to have just been doing her job. BUT…

She honestly might not have done it the way she did it, if she hadn’t thought, just a tiny bit, just way down deep where she could almost ignore it, “Maybe, if they could choose, one of them might choose me.”

Down the road, one of her few real resume builders downstairs is inventing the spinal block epidural--which REDUCES human suffering, but how are they scoring this thing anyhow?--as a middle finger to heaven and an apology to her first crush

+Bolt grumbling+ “‘In pain you will bring forth children’ ASSHOLE it wasn’t her fault!”

Also putting her in the actual plot rather than just the universe of Good Omens simplifies things nicely, the nuns aren’t needed anymore at all. Boltie will be the first to tell you that without her Systems and her assistants, she’s perfectly capable of misplacing a baby on her own.

I just want to mention here that she dresses like the exact midpoint between Jackie O and Marilyn Monroe with a slightly more infernal color scheme and her sunglasses are those red plastic heart kind

Also, because I do the same shit in every AU, she has the exact relationship Crowley has with Queen with, GUESS!!, Dolly Parton

I definitely think one of the most interesting things about this (it’s one of the things I think is most interesting about canon Good Omens too although they never go a l l the way down this road) is that Shade quietly suspects that Bolt is better at being Good than her. Oh sure she loves all God’s creatures but Boltie can get them to love her back. It seems that, unless someone has hurt her personally, one of her main motivations for pushing back against heaven IS compassion

Bolt for her part feels immense guilt about the fact that the only reason she EVEN lets this crap happen anymore is out of bitterness. She hears heaven offers humans unconditional love, even now that they have free will. Where was that deal when she wanted free will, huh?

From that setup on out, you don’t REALLY have to change anything--about EITHER source text! But it’s kind of fun to customize certain stuff for them

I feel like in that scene where they’re drinking in the bookshop they’d get into an exchange that’s like

Bolt, sitting with her legs slung over the arm of a chair, her pantyhose all bunched around her ankles, her high heels in one hand and a glass of red in the other: And that’s the other thing, if we go back they’re not gonna let us be cute anymore

Shade, sitting at her desk with her tie loose and her collar open beside a half-empty bottle of very nice whiskey (I told you the aesthetics were reversed): My goodness Boltie that’s really what you’re on about at a time like this

Bolt: Well take a second to appreciate what you’ve got down here angel, we look fine as all get out! If they send us back I’m gonna probably be back to bein’ a snake for all eternity and you’re gonna have to be a, a flaming wheel or some shit. You know you’re not gonna be able to get made-to-measure for THAT

Shade: …Damn, you’re right

Is this a good time to mention that in my head, Shade sounds decidedly English and Bolt sounds like she’s from Cleveland

Except also I really want Shade to carry Boltie across consecrated ground like in that one post

[janeturenne]

I just came across an album called "Do you want the truth or something beautiful?" and if it is possible to write a more Braxiatel sentence than that one I have never yet read it.

@fatalcookies

Sometimes filing the serial numbers off a character is not about profit motive or escaping into respectability so much as acknowledging that your idle daydreaming has become so phenomenally OOC that the only fix left short of a full factory reset on your imagination is declaring that actually no it hasn't because this is your original creation, Yonic the Smedgehog. Do not steal.

[oathkeeper-of-tarth]

I think of your writing as: Clear, carefully-picked prose, never a word out of place. Incredible subtlety of emotion, beautiful imagery, and a sense of care having gone into every word that makes the writing seem very refined, delicately-constructed, and lovely in its portrayals, be it a moment of quiet emotion or a raw and gripping instant of time. <3

I mean. Also just, PearlRose, revolutionary makeouts, and the most lovely and carefully-arranged mutual respect between characters, it’s frankly wonderful. But also, all the other stuff. <3            

[writing ask meme]

Honestly I personally drive myself up the wall with my horribly irritating need to painstakingly pick at and agonise over and endlessly fiddle with every single word in anything I write, but here you are complimenting that and… it’s just... so nice? Thank you <3

The other half of your ask is basically a big ol’ These Are A Few Of My Favourite Things, and I’m glad I can do them even a bit of justice.

2 Writing Realizations I've Made Today

1) My MC is an extremely giggly drunk. 2) Her love interest is possibly the sweetest adult character in the series and at one point has killed a man.

Magic

Where did the years go? When our homes were castles to be guarded from the fierce dragons of our nightmares. Our lawns a kingdom to rule. When did that stop? When did we stop believing in fairies behind every blade of grass? Gnomes behind every tree. When did our friends of the magical realm abandon us? Do you remember the day the world turned grey? Or at least a paler version of itself. The day the world seemed to shift, The fantastic no longer interesting, Our lives two busy for the possibility of magic? When did we stop caring? Was it the day we decided that magic and fairies just weren’t cool enough? Or when the brightness of the world became too immature? Or was it the first time your parents told you to grow up. Their well-meaning smiles shining as you slowly came to the realization that maybe they don’t know everything. That they’re too “grow-up” to understand the languages of your realm. Or maybe you believed them, And stopped believing in everything else. When did we stop seeing it? The stars in each-other’s eyes, The universe in a person’s smile, The kindness of the flowers, The strength in the trees, And the lightning sparks in every drop of rain Where did those years go? The years where the sight of a firefly and the smell of a barbecue made us want to run, chase the fireflies until we ourselves felt as if we were flying? Where did it all go? I am 19 years old. I do not chase fireflies anymore. My home is no longer a castle, But a pile of wood and stone housing memories I would soon rather forget. The magic has faded. The world now looking more grey around the edges than I remember. But it will not stay this way. Not for long. Because the days I sit down to write, Those are my brightest days. The colors are vibrant once again, There is magic in the air that electrifies all it touches. This is my home, Among the worlds I create to escape the shack of wood and stone I reside in. I have now become dragon, Guarding my hoard of magic filled words from a world that wishes to use them only for profit, Not understanding their true value. I have become the lightning in the rain, Striking in short bursts to illuminate the small puddle in which I am seen. The magic of the world has faded, The magic inside me has not.

the funniest dynamc between my boyfriend and i is the chef/baker divide runs so deep. experimentally my boyfriend is a genius with figuring out what flavor profiles will not just taste good together but also will be enjoyed by the specific audience he is cooking for. a recipe is not a guidebook so much as a suggestion and he will frankenstein ideas together to get exactly what he wants to happen. he also didnt know that sugar will not work properly if you dont mix it with the wet ingredients in banana bread and when i asked 'why didnt you do it in the order of the recipe' he said 'i didnt really think it mattered'. autistically i exploded his head in my mind
