#i am alive my pretties

[shadow4-1]

Don't mind me. Just thinking about calling Price a "dirty old fuck".

The damp ground feels gritty between your teeth. You can smell nothing but grass. Despite your eyes clenched tight, sunlight still filters hot and red through your eyelids.

"Want to run that by me again, love?" His tone is light and surprisingly amused.

You stay quiet, knees and neck straining from the awkward position you're in. The boot square on the back of your shoulders keeps you pinned down. The other boot shifts from where it is between your thighs. You can feel the heavy cording of the laces scratch at the gusset of your panties.

"Th-this is wrong." You mewl, trying to squirm out from under him. "You know it, y-you dirty old fuck!"

"Hm, that's what I thought you said." He tuts over you. For a moment, his shadow blocks out the midday sun beating down into your backgarden. This is what you get for trying to keep your flowers alive. "That's no way to talk to a neighbor, love. You should know that."

"F-uck o-off." He puts more of his weight on you and you wheeze. There's no where to go. He nudges his foot up even farther between your clamped thighs. The toe of his boot rubs hard against that bud only you've ever touched.

"We'll stay just like this until you apologize."

They really spent a lot of time pointing to the second coming for Apolaypse 2 electric boogaloo

all 3 minisodes are about ... humans dying and being brought back to life, or more like, how that is not possible...and how Heaven and Hell have worked around that

In A Companion to Owls, Job kids never died even when they should have, Heaven didn't know enough to distinguish that they were the same children and Sitis quickly got that the miracle was... that their children didn't die to begin with. Once they are dead it is game over and Crowley and Aziraphale refused to let them die

In The Resurrectionists (it is literally called The Resurrectionists!!) and it is how one girl is shot and they can't do anything once she is dead. And Crowley still goes off of his way to make sure the other one doesn't kill herself, risking everything. And we know hell's extreme sanctions are probably what makes him ask for insurance, for holy water. On the other hand, this episode is called The ResurrectionistS, plural, but we meet only one of them ..while in the other side of the sign is Christ himself.

THEN in 1941, we have ZOMBIES, the literal living dead walking around, and Furfur states that he can't make them living people again due to a clause and just leave them as zombies to roam the earth. We see how cursed they are, rotting and bound to eat brains but not human.

EVEN! From episode 1, we get a big Clue: miracles are measured in lazarii, and resurrecting someone is no easy feat. They were telling us to watch out about coming back to life... and how only the mightiest of archangels are able to use that amount of power (or an angel and a demon holding hands...)

and I do want to point out that part of the things Gabriel remembered was this line

Job kids didn't die, in victorian england Wee Morag died falling in the hands of a resurrectionist, and the Germans died and came back- just not quite alive. Every day it is getting closer,

... they are telling us that the second coming is afoot, but they are also showing us that there is no second opportunity on this earth. Once you are dead, you are dead.

and Crowley, in the direst time when Aziraphale is breaking his little demonic heart, says

And now, the plan to resurrect one human to make the end of the world happen is in Aziraphale's hands.

When I talk about something bad I've experienced, Baked In to my experience as A Woman, I am not "making my little cousins feel like shit for being women", because I am talking in a space with, allegedly, adults. I am not bringing my problems to children in the first place. That said, I don't HAVE to make my baby cousin feel bad, because she's already experienced sexual harassment in her life, and she's only 8, and doesn't even understand what any of it means yet. And everyone in her family can try to instill confidence in her, and never talk about our bodies in a negative way. But she can still feel like she's too chubby, because she still goes to school, and talks to other kids and their parents, and still sees ads, and still watches tv. We can be positive, but we can't fix the root of the problem. And I don't HAVE to tell trans women that "pain is a rite of passage", because that's not a Rule being enforced (by me), because I've already sat and listened to my friend complain about constantly shaving as a Baseline necessity and how it hurts her skin and she has to put makeup onto fresh cuts on her face because going out without a full face of properly feminine makeup would make her life worse, and being anything less than thin and lithe makes her "less feminine", and ALL the things that can make her "more feminine" are behind a paywall. And I can try to make her feel better, and I can hear her experiencing the tenfold version of problems I relate to, but I can't fix the root cause of her problems by just telling her not to complain. Forcing happiness as a core personality trait for women is not the Girlboss Feminist move that you think it is, and no amount of gender euphoria in the world will make you immune to systemic oppression.

I can't say I'm looking forward to 8 hours of bells hells religitating the god debate, this time WITH the gods, but I am curious to see how Matt will balance already established characterisations of the gods vs twisting things to make bells hells proposal seem like a positive move without seeming like a total retcon.

Caveating this with the fact we don't really know what mortal gods would look like yet, I'm particularly interested to see what would make Erathis "I would have our children know that I am reliable, constant" Lawbearer agree to fuck off and abandon the mortals of exandria.

Lawbearer "Love for me does not mean sentiment nor passion. love means honouring the agreements we have made". We have seen her pretty explicity go to extreme lengths NOT to put herself in the direct position of having to choose between her god-family and her responsibility to mortals BECAUSE she values her responsibility to them so much. She's painted as one of the major architects behind the Divine Gate in the first place, a compromise so the Primes could step back from warping Exandria whilst still fulfilling their responsibilities. I can't really see them on board for a plan that would allow the gods (in mortal form) to directly go back and continue warping it each further.

FWIW, personally I agree Bells Hells plan and general view of the gods is shortsighted & selfish, but it's also abundantly clear that Matt is NOT going to suddenly use the finale to paint Bells Hells as the greatest evil in Exandria, and whatever end state we get will position Bells Hells in a somewhat heroic light. More to the point, now that Imogen has taken in Predathos and they are back on Exandria, their options for dealing with it are much more limited, meaning the mortal gods plan is going to be presented as somehow a positive/kind outcome. And while I do see the potential for this to create an exciting worldstate for a future C4 campaign, a lot of my excitement will be linked directly to how well they land this plane. Because if they can't manage it without directly contradicting years' worth of established god lore and characterisation from previous campaigns, and worse potentially undoing narratives like Vax's sacrifice... well, that would dampen my excitement considerably.

How can a boy (or a girl) win Zoros heart? 💋👀

So I think for Zoro, things that are important/attractive to him are all based on the persons personality

I think the person has to have a certain level of confidence and a drive to better themselves/have something that truly drives them This is something that he looks for and tries to encourage in his friends and allies as well I truly think that he joins Luffy mostly because he sees him as someone with a lot of confidence and a drive towards his goal We also see him take pretty quickly to Sanji, someone who on the surface (I have opinions on this that I'm not gonna get into here) seems very confident, and has a clear goal that he's working towards (I could write a whole other post on how I feel that Zoro originally trusted Sanji just based on the fact that Luffy trusted him and he trusts Luffy's judgment, but after fighting along side Sanji at Arlong Park, he actually got to know the type of man Sanji is and that's when he officially decided he liked him) We also see Zoro's tendency to encourage confidence and improvement in allies with his behavior towards Tashigi When Tashigi fist challenges Zoro, he doesn't back down, but fights her despite the fact that he definitely knows that he is leagues above her in skill - but who is he to squash that type of confidence and determination? Later in Punk Hazard we see him try to push her towards success again when he refuses to help her fight Monet even though he (and Tashigi for that matter) knows that he could end that fight 10x quicker than Tashigi can But he doesn't help because he wants Tashigi to do it herself He wants her to have the confidence that she can do it and to grow in skill to match that confidence (I think that this scene with Tashigi in Punk Hazard says a lot about Zoro's character tbh)

Another thing that I think is incredibly important to Zoro and would be something that he would look for in a partner is compassion and loyalty We continuously see Zoro take the time to be kind and compassionate towards other people despite being perceived as someone who is cold and violent by those who don't know him He himself is also an extremely loyal friend and one would assume he's be a loyal partner (who are we kidding this man would literally kill for his partner or die trying), so I think that type of loyalty would also be something that he would look for in a relationship

Something that I'd like to mention, however, is that I think that Zoro is also the type of person who would hate/never want to be saved idk, I just think that he's the one who prefers to help and save others (he's truly a protector at heart), but the idea of not being able to save himself or the potential of someone else getting hurt (or killed) trying to save him is something he can't stand I think this aspect of his character is best highlighted in Thriller Bark and Sabaody We quite literally see Zoro try to sacrifice himself and refuse to let Sanji "save him" during Thriller Bark (this is another topic I could on about forever: Zoro being afraid of loosing people, especially if he feels he wasn't able to do anything to help them, and Sanji being afraid of people leaving him and being more willing to die than let that happen) And then again, we see Zoro get frustrated and struggle to try to hold his own during their fight on Sabaody, not wanting to be "saved" by any of his friends to the point that he could have easily died Anyways...that's a bit of a side tangent but I think it is relevant to Zoro and relationships in general (also what is me answering these asks if not an excuse to force you all to read me stream of consciousness about these characters lol)

The last thing I want to add about Zoro and romantic relationships is that I think he would very much be the type of person who prefers subtly and private moments over big gestures and pda It's a canon fact that Zoro is a bit shy (owo 👉👈) and so he's probably not prone to large, loud displays of affection (we do see evidence in the small, quiet ways he shows he care for his crew mates) In a way, I think Zoro is a bit like a stereotypical Japanese man in that he's not likely to be overly forward about his emotions and would almost never speak them out loud in any direct way I think he shows affection mostly through actions (tho I have a hc that Zoro also just says the most poetic shit out of nowhere without even really realizing or thinking about it lol)

idk if that's what you were looking for anon, but it's what you got lol~

I'd also like to note that I do hc Zoro as both Gay and Demisexual So obviously that influences a lot of my views on him and romantic relationships especially the fact that I don't think that Zoro is ever looking for a relationship In fact, I think he has no interest in a relationship and doesn't give it much thought, but once he catches feelings it's like getting slapped in the face and he's just like "WTF is that allowed??????"

Ming is straight up ill and I love him. He's just a horrible delusional little gremlin and I hope he stays terrible the entire show.

Insane things he has done:

Fell in love with a dude cause he saw his back once in a movie, not even his face, and just obsessed on that for YEARS.

Refused to move on from that man and his back even when he became his sister's whole ass fiance.

Moved in with Joe after like one night.

Would only hit it from the back FOR MONTHS cause he wanted to pretend he was fucking another man.

Put Joe's drunk ass on the floor OF HIS OWN HOUSE. But still took his pants off and gave him a blanket for comfort?

Made fun of Joe to his face for wanting couple mugs. But later got them engraved with their names as a gift?

Seethed with open jealously anytime Sol was around even though he was still clinging to Tong and his back.

Showed up at Joe's place of work to get into a fight with Joe. Ended up fighting Sol instead cause he thought he was Player 2, even though Sol's controller was never plugged in because Joe has never wanted him.

Beat Joe with a bat.

Literally chained Joe up.

Told Joe it's fine if his whole career and reputation was ruined cause he'd just buy him roles?

Thought he could bottom his way out of the aforementioned beating, chaining, and reputation & career ruining.

Has preserved Joe's condo as a living tomb.

Makes food for two in that condo every day for the past TWO YEARS.

Came out of that condo screaming JOE cause he heard a noise and thought it was Joe coming home (Joe has been dead for two years).

If only Ming had gotten some therapy during his time in college in the US, none of this would have happened. But alas, he did not.

Unfortunately for Joe, Ming's lack of therapy caused his death. And on like Day 3 of Joe's new life as Joe 2, he already ran back into Ming.
