having been in the fandom for awhile, one interesting shift I remember seeing was around when BoO came out and people realized solangelo was implied to be a future thing, people were kind of scrambling to remember literally anything about Will cause of how minor of a character he had been up until that point.

And one of the things they were looking at with Will was that previously to BoO, people thought Will was a lot older. Because he was a cabin counselor (and generally how he was usually interacting with characters like Percy, Annabeth, and Clarisse - all 16+ish, or Leo - 15/16), most people assumed he was closer to 16 at least, if not actually older than Percy. It wasn't uncommon to see HoO!Will being 17 or so (this is also why there's a decent amount of hcs of him being at CHB pre-BoTL despite not existing until TLO). After BoO happened, it wasn't uncommon to see Solangelo content with a significantly older Will.

Like, it has always been implied in the series that Will is on the younger side (since Michael Yew joined CHB in SoM and Will is younger than him/would have joined BoTL at the earliest) and it's just the entire Apollo cabin keeling over in TLO that made Will counselor. But I just think it's interesting to remember that for awhile Will was not confirmed to be 13 in HoO/14 in TOA when solangelo first became a thing/people started paying attention to Will, and the fandom very widely thought he was older.

"...where everybody is...except for-little bit further for barky but it's good for me!" you can tell matthew has never stopped chirping sasha for living in boca (most of the sane guys chose places in ft lauderdale) which is a good half hour drive away from both amerant bank and the iceplex and those etas are sans traffic! the i-95 gets so congested i cant imagine what the drive is like when its rush hour lmaoooo yeah sasha deserves to be chirped to hell and back for choosing boca raton of all places and yeah no wonder this guys got a lead foot on the pedal huh

the fond little smile like oh here he goes again he does this all the time and matthews cheesy little proud grin "yes i do give you grief over this! its not the first time and it wont be the last time! i will keep doing it until you move closer to me!!"

HAPPY RAT ALERT! hes certified in the art of subtly that is if you chirp your captain enough maybe he will listen to the hints youre dropping and will in fact not live so far away maybe he will move into your house

the old married couple are doing old married things

Danyal Al Ghul doodle dumps from my Danyal Al Ghul Au. I was thinking about Him earlier today, and thus decided to draw him. Tis good headshape practice, and just drawing practice in general. You can spot the time difference not by the lighting but by the fact Danny suddenly has curls. Plus an honorary colored version because it twas one of my favorites

[skitskatdacat63]

For everyone who wanted bullfighter Nando when I mentioned it the other day, here you go :D

+ this one I don't feel like coloring yet(imagine he's in Ferrari colors!!!)

[foxstens]

where does the idea of kevin being oblivious to andreil come from???

[marblerose-rue]

oh man they do not warn u about how it feels to find your old art reuploaded on pinterest LMAO

Danny is the first name 😅 this is starting to look very serious. I'm surprised - I have to say 😭😅

I don't even have to write head cannons if the book is going to share things like this. IM silly MY thoughts about them are silly oh yeah?!?? Well the books states that the demon likes to take naps. ESPECIALLY after a big meal;. boy I sure. sure hope I don't mischaractrize him!!!!!! He doesn't need to sleep but he can if he wants and apparently also holds the power to sleep for an indefinite amount of time if he'd like. How sweet. I mean. He is a snake that;s what snakes do they eat their food and then go curl up somewhere or something but. I don't really know how much of him was written with the consideration of "Oh he does this because snake behavior" and is mostly just he does it because that is just simply him. I can't remember what century(I'm assuming also the 19th century again) but he says it himself in the show as well I'm pretty sure that he slept through most of it so. Whether you want to count the book or show as two separate things, it at least checks out that Crowley naps. Which. solidifies a thought that I like to have that I do not have the nerve to say it out loud because it would be. potentially sappy. At least a fluffy thought at that. And I fear I've said too much already.

------

Or like. What is. What isnthis

There is another thing that I want to say about this bit but I am saving it cause it gets mentioned down below* but. First of all I love Crowley using the "Game Over, Insert Coin?" expression and I also love Aziraphale not understanding it. Cause in the show there's kinda a whole thing it is very clear that Aziraphale is still attached to 1900s(or older) things like having a gramophone that he constantly uses or the only phones that he uses to receive/make calls with is things like rotary phones and whatnot. And that way he dresses and things and stuff he enjoys is like all a pre-techy internet boom. The one time he gets his hands on a phone that has a touch screen he is borrowing it from a stranger and he doesn't even use it properly, he uses some sort of 'magic'(I say magic like that because I'm not sure how to label their powers) to use it. Like he just tells the phone out loud to call his phone, the one that sits on his desk in his book shop. And this is like. An early looking 2006 phone, when they were just little square bricks. And even then I don't think any phone, regardless of how modern, would be able to call another cell phone without at some point having the number input into it, whether through clicking on the call button on a webpage or putting it in yourself! And it;s not like. that is a contact name and. it was a strangers phone how would it know and. and. what sort of power even is that that you can just announce to any cellular device "Hey, call the phone on my desk" and t works flawlessly. And this is a wall of text. And I am 98% sure he did that because he didn't know how to nagivate the phone in the first place. And he also does another little magic thingy and when he hands the phone back to the stranger it is fixed of all it's cracks and damage.

And I mean throughout the show we see Crowley Very MuchTM be with it and in the times. Aziraphale's outfit never strays too far from what it already is and his hairstyle doesn't really ever change at all either, but Crowley's outfits very much are where you could pinpoint almost immediately whatever era he is from cause of it, and he goes through a variety of hair lengths and styles and even at a point or two facial hair. And. I almost want to do some separate post on that even if it is literally just going to me being stupid. Even when we aren't getting flashbacked and the show is taking place in the current day, Crowley gets his haircut and a new style within like the first episode or two, and there really isn't that much of a time gap between the first two episodes if I remember correctly... And he does use a mobile phone and how one of his schemes was taking out all of the telephones for about 45 minutes in London during everyone's lunch break so. And if he is making Game Over and Insert Coin jokes then he is at least aware of arcade games in some capacity. I think their contrast is neat.

And. I did not anticipate that tangent getting that long but. This is one of the excerpts where I'm like. seeing the show before hand really alters how Im reading this because in the book it simply states that Aziraphale is sort of shrugging off Crowley's temptations but because I saw the series my brain is visualizing it more in the sense of his shrugging being a bit more unsure and his eyebrows are furrowed and has a bit of a complex unreadable expression because it is a moment where he is having to face his want to be a good angel and follow with Heaven's plan but he is struggling a bit with it because it is not a plan that he is wanting to go through with(and he and Crowley proceed to loophole a solution that ultimately saves Earth so it turns out okay.)

--

Sorry the first line here is really killing me because what a phrasing to go with. What a descriptor. And since I've seen the show I KNOW that he does eventually get his hands on it so I'm curious to see how that is going to play out.

*Aziraphale has it mentioned in the show that apperently he wears cologne and goes to a barber and. That is making me giggle so badly so much. Cause it like. it makes sense!!! he likes to be proper and. For some reason in the book adaptation it keeps mentioning that he has really nice manicured hands and. Why am I being subjected to having these such particular things cross my mind. Cause I understand keeping your nails trimmed or like lotion to keep your hands moisturized or soft but specifically manicured?? fine fine we get it you look nice and smell nice and you're cute and handsome I already knew this beforhand. Now I have to think about him going to a barber or getting his hands done. Long hard heavy in love sigh. 36 pages in and already his hand getting pointed out twice.

Which I find ultimately a bit funny because before I started the book I got a picture of Aziraphale's hand because I noticed he had been wearing a ring on his pinky finger that I didn't catch before and now all of this.

"Battle of Alberta, right? It was my first game: Calgary, Edmonton. We would play them in the preseason, and you know—trying to make the team I'd always be asking him to fight in preseason, always. I'd be runnin' my mouth—like, tryna fight the biggest, baddest guys, tryna make an impression.

And he would never fight me. He'd always tell me, like If you make the team, I'll fight ya. You don't have to worry about that, but I'm not fightin' ya preseason. And I totally respect it, I'm not gonna chase him down. It is what it is. He's established—I'm looking for my chance.

So I get called up, we're playing Edmonton in Edmonton: Battle of Alberta. [He's] over there on the other side, and it's like the coolest thing ever... you know, the buildup was crazy 'cuz I knew if the opportunity presented itself—if the game went the way I hoped it would, I would get an opportunity to fight him.

I remembered in warmups tryna skate by the redline initially just kind-of gettin' a feel for it—to see if I have to say something or whatever... He's got no bucket on, his big, bald head is glarin' around, he skates by the redline with the biggest smile on his face, and just gives me the biggest wink...

At that moment I knew Okay, he remembers. It's gonna happen at some point.

We were up 1, I think it was 2-1 going into intermission or whatever—Oh, no, I think it was 1-1 and we had just scored so the position I'm like Yeah, I don't know if I can fight him now because we have the momentum and we're winning the game. I don't want to lose a fight, then we lose a game and now I'm, like, never getting a chance again.

You kind-of gotta play the game within the game like [...] there's an opportunity to fight, and there's an opportunities where you shouldn't fight. Things weren't looking good, then they score and now we need a spark. I'm like Fucking perfect.

I just skate by their bench and I'm like It's time, big boy! He jumps out, we line up, and he goes We squarin' up or we goin' right away?

I'm like I'm not fuckin' squarin' up with you right now! We're goin' right away!

Drop em, we go right away, grab each other. I know he's a lefty so he's gonna let go—let's go of my right arm before he throws one. I threw one. Big boy went down, he jumped back up pretty quick. I don't know, I tell people all the time, I'm like I would've been in the league fuckin' 2 years earlier if there was good footage of this fuckin' fight!

For some reason—For some reason, the cameras cut out. I don't know if [he] had his cousins working the cameras or something that night, or if they're in the video room or what happened.

That was my first NHL game.

It's funny 'cuz Chucky was there—Chucky's there and he knows, he saw, he always laugh when I say that I would've been in the league earlier 'cuz he knows how things like that go. You get a little bit of energy and buzz around ya, and then kind-of momentum takes you a little bit further but unfortunate[ly], I missed that opportunity but I don't regret a thing.

[...]

The opportunity was there, I just—unfortunately, for whatever reason, the Hockey Gods said not yet." (Ryan Lomberg reminiscing over his first NHL game/fight) (x)(x) (please go watch the second link to see lombos giant smile as he tells this story jfc)

and other genuinely bonkers things to say about a hockey player in your first fight... like why did this need to be said like that...what

this might sound like a weird thing to say but it's a little bit strange how many people love writing abt dick grayson's trauma but totally ignore blockbuster's literal campaign of terror in favor of focusing completely on catalina and his being sexually assaulted by her. i get that its probably just bc thats a much more relatable (and easier to project on) experience than losing your home, being stalked and terrorized, having your friends and family murdered and grievously injured, not to mention being pushed to your literal breaking point and having to betray your most firmly held values to protect yourself and your loved ones. like, everything having to do with blockbuster AND catalina are inextricably linked and it's a little weird to focus all of your attention on just one of the many many terrible things that happened in nightwing 1996
