Some people: there shouldn't be anything romantic between Crowley and Aziraphale, they're just friends in the book and it should be that way in the show.

Last pages of the book, when the plot of each character is concluding, in the EXACT arc of Aziraphale and Crowley: for the first time in history, A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square*.

Literally the lyrics of this song:

"When two lovers meet in Mayfair So the legends tell Songbirds sing Winter turns to Spring Every winding street in Mayfair Falls beneath this spell I know such enchantment can be 'Cause it happened one evening to me That certain night, the night we met There was magic abroad in the air There were angels dancing at the Ritz And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I may be right, I may be wrong But I'm perfectly willing to swear That when you turned and smiled at me A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square The moon that lingered over London Town Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown How could he know we two were so in love The whole darn world seemed upside down The streets of town were paved in stars It was such a romantic affair And as we kissed and said goodnight A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square Our homeward step was just as light As the tap dancing feet of Astaire And like an echo far away A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square I know 'cause I was there That night in Berkeley Square"

If that isn't an implicit hint about them as a couple, I don't know what is!

Imposing/projecting headmate presences is great because you're a little bit uncomfy, in pain and trying (but failing) to sleep? Boom, sensation of eldritch distortion monster cuddling you.

Found an Easter egg in the book The Imposition of Unnecessary Obstacles by Malka Older!

It's the second (and latest) book in her mystery series The Investigations of Mossa and Pleiti. I can highly recommend both it and the first book, The Mimicking of Known Successes.

The simplest way to describe the series is that it's very similar (I'd say intentionally so) to the Sherlock Holmes stories, but if Sherlock and Watson were reimagined as lesbians with chemistry that was more than just potential subtext, and they lived in a future post-apocalyptic colony in space with definite Victorian-type/steampunk world building, but with a healthy amount of foods and other cultural aspects from many different cultures around the world.

In fact, one thing that surprised me at first was that the books' vocabulary commonly uses not only formal/older English words, but also words and expressions from many different languages, only some of which were familiar to me, but most of which can be understood from context. It's a choice that makes sense, though, for a society that's been removed from Earth for a long time, and what it would look like for different Earth cultures to synthesize into totally new cultures and groupings of people over time.

Anyway, these are the kind of books that you're likely to enjoy if you like TMBD. As a matter of fact, in the first book's acknowledgments, Malka Older listed Martha Wells first among the other authors she was thanking for their writing and how it impacted her. So if you're looking for a fun and interesting scifi read, these books are worth it! :)

The pain in-system relationships bring

I have a lover inside. I have an in-system relationship and I love my boyfriend to the death. There are pros and cons to every relationship type, let it be up-close far distance or in-system, I don't think it is fair to compare them but our mind still does. And it still hurts. I used to think I overcame that, but due to a recent turn of events I realized how much we don't get to have. Every single day I am reminded of just the sheer amount of how much we can't have.

When I am on the bus and I see a couple holding hands, whispering things to each other, giggling together... People asking them, them just being at places together, kissing each other, people acknowledging their relatitonship. Them going on dates, or just living in their life as usual, doing chores and playing games competitively, or just casual bantering, showering together.

Or the concept of sex itself. One can argue you can do all or some those with your in-sys partner too, but, it is not the same way. It is not to the same extent. It does not feel the same, It feels less to me. I know it shouldn't, maybe, but we cannot control our feelings. It is different, it is valid, yes, and I tear up as I speak but I cannot for the life of me get this painful throbbing heart to stop thinking every moment of "what if my boyfriend had an external body".

I grieve, I am yet to finish grieving. We are on our 2nd year of dating and I am still grieving with stops and breaks in-between. How long will this grief last?

I think to myself, and my boyfriend too, he says to me; yes, we will never be able to physically hold each other. Yes, we will never have sex like other people, ours may just stay as an imitation and imposition of sorts and that's it. Yes, that may not be enough for our bodily needs and that is something we can resolve with other things. The important thing is we will resolve. It is okay to grieve. It is okay to wish for the impossible. But time will heal it.

It has to heal it.

We can focus on what we do have. An endless possibility of dates to be scheduled, our real bodies (not the human ones!) being inside and being able to interact with each other. Always having each other close, so up close that you can even read other's mind sometimes. Arguments almost never being a thing because you know how they feel the way they breathe the way they talk. Loving yourself means loving him, too.

I think to myself, this heart I have beats for people more than one. It beats the same time for both me and him. It beats, beats, beats, until we die. Until we both draw our last breath. When we live we will always be together and live together, when we die we will die together.

Thinking of what could've been possible if I had him physically is a tunnel with no light at the end of it. The only light that is possible is the light of death.

Maybe, just maybe after all those, there is an afterlife where we get to have our own seperate bodies and live our love to the fullest. I never believed in spirituality, but I wish to be proven wrong so badly on this. I hope some deity hears my plea and gives me just one chance, one singular chance to hug my beloved and inhale his scent all the way.

Maybe if we love hard enough in this life, it can exceed physical realm's chains and feel each other more than anyone else.

I stay in this relationship because our love exceeds the enormous amount of pain it brings. And I don't regret any moment of that.

Hello!

Love your work, it makes me laugh!

I need a suggestion, because I want to make a Columbo cosplay, and you're an expert, so you're the only one that can help me!!!

I have all I need for the cosplay (the raincoat, the shoes, even a badge made of cardboard), but...I thought: i would like to add an element characteristic of one specific episode, or of a meme, you know...to make it more distinguished! You know what I mean? I really don't know what to invent!

Thanks in advance!!!

columbo carries around a rotating cast of little props including lunch bags, thermoses, cups of coffee, briefcases, and of course cigars. barring that, i'd add his notepad. he even draws the people he talks to

of course in order to make it truly complete, you'd need to omit the writing implement

out of context raving about my thesis but this man really said "oh yeah all the other widespread software are ass and missing something so I made this software" meanwhile said software doesn't even have the simple function of literally just rotating your pages

Blog Introduction!

Hello, welcome to our blog! We're a mixed origin (primarily endogenic) system of 13 that's decided to give separation a try. We're bodily male and 24. We've decided to treat this kind of like a journal for our progress towards mastering many different areas of plural experiences, such as:

True Imposition / Prophantasia

Complete separation (our own memories, mastering dissociative control / barriers or at least finding our limits, ending unintentional blending, etc.)

Expanding mindscape experiences

I guess meditation? Not necessarily a plural experience but would absolutely help. Same with lucid dreaming.

Our goal is to completely separate our experiences so that we can have more privacy and less distress and confusion in our day to day life. Others might benefit from our journey, so hopefully this blog can be more of use.

The masterdoc on separation I've created will be pinned here as well:

Unless stated otherwise, 9/10 it'll be myself (Zenith) posting on this blog. Nevertheless, here are our names!

We're trying to give back to the community that's helped us so much, so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to send in an ask!

[sophieinwonderland]

that take about hallucinations and dissociation being something no one should want: *exists*

us, a collective who does imposition*: really? :O

*not sure if that's the word, but it's when you uh, basically like, project your image externally so you get the impression that a headmate in co-con/co-front is, for example standing beside the body. that's probably horribly explained lol

Yup! That's imposition!

It's really fun to play around with too!

I think tactile has been my favorite. (And seems the easiest.) When I'm not fronting, it's fun to run an (imposed) finger across the body to see how my host reacts!

Imposition is a wonderful, beautiful thing and more systems should try it if they haven't!

A funny commonality to both indian/hindu and euro-american creepy etnonationalists who closk their retrograde politics in the veil of anticolonialism is how they will complain about Abrahamic missionaries/invaders trampling over their pristine authentic ancient indigenous traditions even when this offending abrahamic presence often predates large swathes of "traditional" customs and folkloric/religious beliefs and so forth, thus impeding their reclamation of their "real" ancestral culture. Bc if Christian/islamic interference with ones ancient ways is intolerably foreign and oppressive no matter how long ago it was introduced then, oh boy, you are going to fucking hate hearing about the spread of indo European culture!

(Ik that hindu ethnats do in fact develop elaborate pseudoscientific conspiracy theories to hide their head in the sand on this point, i am not sure if this immune response has yet been adopted by the "retvrn to yr evropean roots to avoid culturally appropriating from indigenous Americans" crowd)
