I’m like 10 seconds away from making this the official fundraising campaign and sending it to every email in connected to the foundation website instead of trying to set up like a million different 3rd party website campaigns

Paul George on Stephen A. Smith’s Kawhi Leonard jab: “I didn’t like that moment… Kawhi wants to play… We exhausted a lot out of Kawhi this season. So at some point your body breaks you down… I didn’t appreciate that moment. I know I laughed because the situation was lighthearted, but deep down it was like you gotta let that go, Stephen A.”

Aziraphale choosing to return to Heaven isn't a mistake because it's naive to want to make a difference in the world, or because it's wrong to choose kindness and hope and see the best in things. Under different circumstances and with different motivations, going to Heaven to try to change things (improve working conditions for the lower angels, lie to the Powers That Be to subvert the Great Plan, kill the fucking Metatron) is a choice I could understand, even if I don't think he'll have nearly the level of control he's imagining. (This is a trap. This is a trap. This is a trap, and Aziraphale does not understand the extent to which it is.)

But anyway. The main problem isn't "I can make a difference." The problem is "you're the bad guys." It's that Aziraphale still sees Heaven as THE source of Good (and light, and truth, etc.) in the world. He thinks the cruelty he's seen Heaven enact over the years comes from a few mean archangels and not from the fact that Heaven itself exists to perpetuate one side of a conflict that is destined to end in the destruction of the Earth and a war that, as they have explicitly stated, will wipe out demons for eternity. The purpose of Heaven is not to help people. “Good” as it exists has nothing to do with alleviating suffering. It’s just the Plan. It’s just God.

Consider a scenario where Aziraphale got the same offer but from the other side. Hell comes up and says, hey, Crowley! Congrats, you're the new Grand Duke of Hell! You can even bring your angel along. He'll have to become a demon, of course, but that's fine, right? And Crowley's like, wow, Aziraphale, do I have some GREAT news for you! (I know, Crowley would never. Just stay with me.)

Obviously Aziraphale would have said no. And rightly so! Hell has done nothing but hurt Crowley and threaten both of them for millennia. And Crowley asking him to fall would be a horrible thing to hear from someone he loves--he'd be changing himself, losing a part of his identity, committing himself to an institutional force he doesn't believe in. Of course he would refuse. (Sound familiar?)

But imagine the good they could do if they were in charge of Hell! They could make sure no demon, Crowley included, was ever tortured again, and could improve things for the lower demons and for the damned alike. They could help people just as much in Hell as in Heaven, theoretically. But clearly the actual impact is not the deciding factor, because when Crowley says he refused Hell's offer to come back, Aziraphale brushes it off, because "of course you said no to Hell, you're the bad guys!"

When I say that Aziraphale has to learn better, that's what I mean. It's not a mistake for Aziraphale to still believe in goodness, and truth, and light. That's one of his most admirable traits. But it IS a mistake for him to think that those things come from Heaven. So no, Aziraphale isn't going to come out of this jaded, no longer believing in his ideals. He's going to come out of this confident in himself to help people without being told how by the powers that abused him his entire life. And he’s going to finally understand Crowley, and that he is kind not in spite of being a demon but because of the sum of his experiences, very much including the fall. No more good guys, no more bad guys. And then they’ll be able to move forward together.

i had faith in the writers when gabe wasn't portrayed as physically abusive and everyone was nervous about how sally using medusa's head on him would be perceived as murderous, but him snooping through someone else's mail? unprompted?? especially when it's clear they didn't want him in the house anymore??? truly fuck around and find out

I don't get Carmilla's canon motivations. All-out war might harm her daughters, but the Exterminations themselves already put her family at risk! They nearly died in the last one, but she won't take a stand - and won't even let other demons who also have families and loved ones being killed know how to defend themselves? Ugh. And yet, she gave in so easily when Vaggie asked for her help, so what was the earlier refusal about? Just not trusting other Overlords?

Also telling Vaggie to fight for love when that's what she's been doing the entire time, her Main Motivation is her love for Charlie. Carmilla isn't teaching her anything about love.

Very accurate.💅🏻

The First Omen is easily one of my favorite horror movies. I felt physically ill and like I could cry but that’s womanhood I guess. Watching this on my period while starting to feel some of the external pressures of oh my god you’re in your mid 20s get married have a baby be an adult be a mother was certainly an experience. We need women directing horror bc I’ve never felt more terrified in my life. And Nell Tiger Free absolutely killed every scene she was in. Breaking the fourth wall sent chills down my spine. Beautifully shot like oh my god a horror movie that you can actually see what’s going on crazy. And honestly this saved the fuckass omen franchise.

My absolute beloved

"Why did Rose not take Jimmy and leave?" What? The hotel she lives in, run by her husband, who is also her boss, who explicitly controls her money, who is rich and famous enough to buy an entire fucking hotel? You think he's letting her take enough to create a safety net incase she leaves? He screams at her and makes her bleed for buying things without his permission. You don't think he could conjure up laywers to get Jimmy back if she legs it, with no income and infinitely less financially stable than him? You think she has any capacity to do shit but survive in the scenario?
