Good Omens Fic Rec: in the house we remain
Aziraphale buys a quiet cottage in the middle of the English countryside. It is perfect in every way: old-style, quaint, surrounded by wilderness, with a small water feature in the back and a price to rival that of any other property he's seen. He is in love from the moment he sees it. But when a mysterious set of books, all written by unknown author A.J. Crowley, appears on his book shelf, Aziraphale begins to wonder if there is perhaps more to this house than he'd originally believed. The truth can be buried, but it cannot stay hidden forever.
Length: 48,334 words
AO3 Rating: Mature / Spice Level 馃敟
Best for: Mostly Safe in Public, At Home, Angst, Human AU
Triggers: Major Character Death

*Minor Spoilers* It's almost frustrating that this story of Aziraphale falling in love with a ghost is one of the most gripping and beautiful stories I've read. It shouldn't work this well, it should be a crack idea. But this is such a powerful piece of fiction. It seamlessly blends romance with mystery and horror. Get your tissues, settle in, this one will haunt you.
Aziraphale has just moved to a cozy cottage in the countryside. If he's hearing things, feeling weird drafts, and noticing things out of place, well, that's just him settling in. Soon, there will be no denying the strange events, and it starts with a set of unpublished books written by an AJ Crowley. The previous, deceased, owner of the house.
This is heartbreaking. It's grief pools over everything. As Aziraphale learns more about the entity who haunts his cottage you will start to grieve as well. The way they begin to communicate was so thrilling and the softest romance. On one hand, we know they're soulmates and belong together despite any obstacle. On the other, it's a tragedy and horrifying. It's gorgeous and grotesque.
It's mostly safe in public, but an at home read for me. If you were destroyed by All of Us Strangers, I think you'll want to check this out. But mind the tags and warnings, there is graphic descriptions of death and major character death. Technically a happy ending? But that's a grey area in itself. I'd love to know how you guys feel about this ending actually

P.S Spoilers under the cut because I want to scream about this story so come back once you've read this
I literally started crying when Aziraphale discovers what was tucked into the attic, the way Crowley was never appreciated as an author was so painful!! Crowley's death destroyed me!! The scene of the water splashing and Aziraphale trying to save him??? Only to come inside and see him?? THE ART???? This one has got me UNWELL.
But also what a horror! Aziraphale never experiencing a full life with Crowley, never knowing the physical touch of a person for what was it 40 years?? That's both romantic and devastating.
UGH I will never get over the scene of Aziraphale watching Adam discover his body. It made my blood run cold. And how Crowley had to watch over his decaying body as well. FUCK this one is so insanely good and how can I explain that to a normie? Hm? Yeah this human au of my blorbos falling in love even though one of them is a ghost literally had me crying screaming and throwing up and this is a normal thing for me
My views on the ending? I think I lean on the horror end of the scale. Yes they are together, but stuck watching over every new owner of the house, still never getting to experience a real life together

Always thinking that this is the moment that Kabru fell for Mithrun:
Kabru doesn't realize it immediately. But he knows that he feels warm, proud, when Mithrun smiles. A little perplexed, sure, but the surprise comes with the urge to mirror Mithrun, to smile. And he offers to wipe Mithrun's tears, just because it feels right.
When the Canaries leave, a part of his heart goes with them.
Kabru doesn't think always of Mithrun. He is busy these days - helping Laios with establishing the court; overseeing the construction of roads and infrastructure; mapping out monster-infested areas and dangerous locations; so on and so forth. But when Kabru does - and it's when he eats, tucks his body under the blankets to sleep, sees a sliver of bright silver hair - he thinks of Mithrun's smile. The slight curve of flat lips, the rosy cheeks, the teary eyes. The hitch in his voice as if this is his first time breathing after a long time. Kabru surprises himself by how much he wants to Mithrun again. He's only known the elf for, what, several days. How come he misses him like Kabru misses home?
Could it be that he...No, there's no way. He doesn't see elves that way elves won't look at him that way.
But then Mithrun returns, and it's as if they're back at the feast. On top of the frozen dragon carcass in the aftermath of a foiled demonic apocalypse. Just the two of them, no masks, no lies. When Mithrun steps out of the boat and onto the shore, Kabru feels like not a minute had passed since that moment. The seagulls cry, the wind howls, the sales flutter, like a pair of a skylark's wings on spring, and then Kabru sees it --
"Kabru." Mithrun says, smiling. And Kabru realizes, then and there, that he's fallen in love with him.
#kabumisu#kabru dungeon meshi#kabru#kabru of utaya#mithrun#mithrun dungeon meshi#mithrun of the house of kerensil#i feel like kabru is the type of person who'll like#internalize his feelings for months thinking of the pros and cons then#he sees mithrun and is like fck it we ball#i feel like mithrun will take longer processing his feelings because#yes he wants to be there with kabru but he isn't like#going to pursue them#most likely because he doesn't think he is worth pursuing#his desires gone and all of that#his insecurity and self worth which he already struggles with pre dungeon lord#remains until after the demon's death

Kristoph Gavin's black psyche-locks have remained unbroken for 17 slutty, slutty years.
#just had to look up when AJAA first came out and good god#ace attorney#kristoph gavin#i remember i once saw someone say that the only reason why people are interested in kristoph instead of other villains is bc he's pretty#and it's like no you dipshit the reason is bc he was shown to have black psyche-locks#which we were then told means a person has trauma so severe they've repressed it to the point they don't even know they have it#and then Capcom went [Tyler Cutebiker voice] never mind all that!!!#and just never brought it up ever again#(well the meaning behind the black psyche-locks came up in the next game but did Kristoph? no)#(and then the game after THAT was a shitshow so. sighs.)#anyway Kristoph was literally shown to have something more going on with him than just ''muahaha i'm evil >:)'' in canon#so that's why he's an interesting & compelling character to a lot of people#it's not OUR fault that capcom then decided to just let him rot#along with Apollo & Trucy's true parentage -- which has also remained a secret for 17 slutty slutty years#for FUCKsake Capcom when i get my fucking HANDS on you#(i will do nothing bc i don't want an assault & battery charge but i WILL scream SO loud from here in my house)

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]
okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.
The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?
Yeah, fucking absolutely.
But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.
You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.
Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]
There are options.
There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.
#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways#There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse.#I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something#There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others#or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all#or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost#$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably.#or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill#or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels.#or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis#suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away#life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away#Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly#people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before#they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability.#long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious.#they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority.#they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag#but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing#it already is.#its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people#ALL people.#they use basic human rights as bargaining chips.#the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.

I think Jmart would work really well in a Pride and Prejudice au bc I think Jon proposing to Martin while insulting him would be funny.
#a talking bunkat#jmart#tma#The question of who else close to him Jon would be insulting remains. Martin doesn't have a lot of family like Elizabeth#which could be interesting#Also I don't want to write a period piece so like. I would have to make office politics the equivalent of 17th century social hierarchy#but like in other ways it works so well. Tim as Mr. Bingley would be perfect. And Elias could be. Mr. Wickem I guess?#I guess actually that Elias and Jonah could be different characters...#Hm. Something to think about I guess.#Sasha would take Jane's role and then I'd have to come up with a reason for Jon to sabotage her and Tim's relationship...#WAIT UNLESS I CAN WORK NOTSASHA INTO THIS ALSO. And Jon's season 2 paranoia.#Hm. Much to think about.#Martin showing up to Jon's house (the Archives) uninvited on some kind of like. Tour? For a class? Martin goes back to school au?#And obviously Jon doesn't have a sister like Mr. Darcy so Martin meets... Daisy?? WAIT GEORGIE I'M AN IDIOT THEY EVEN HAVE THE SAME NAME-#Hm. Miss. Bingley who would she be... like of I was going purely based on actual relationship it would be Danny but I'm not doing that#I mean we have no evidence that Danny WOULDNT try and get with Jon for his money/social status but let's be fucking real here for a second.#Idk. Literally no one other then Martin is interested in Jon in any romantic way.#anyway none of this matters I should go to sleep.

tbh i think about this from time to time, if i had a child and they were killed in one of these school shootings i dont think i would be as forgiving and due process as these parents are, the next thing youd hear about me is on the new for caving the parents of the shooter's faces in
#you think we would get gun control if some of these bitches got liveleaked#the media industry gets to wank off with kids going to court salacious while the parents remain in the shadows not charged with anything#hands in the fucking air like theyre the victim of their evil kid like can someone start blowing up houses or something pulease

thinking of tai and nat and their confrontations with what they did. how for tai it's a shocking revelation in the light of day. she wakes up, stomach full, unaware. it's almost like a violation of HER body. meanwhile for nat it's dealing with what she willingly chose to do in the cover of the night. but after that... dreamlike scene from the last episode, where they indulge in a fantasy, where the night warps the reality of what's happening, in the bright daylight they have to look at jackie's remains and acknowledge it. and for tai it's a terrifying moment of realizing she's completely lost what control she still had of her body and actions (when she first saw the remains and didn't know what happened. did she think the wolves did it? how does she feel remembering the wolf that bit off a chunk of van's face and hearing that that's what she did to jackie?) and for nat it's this quiet, sad and dreadful feeling of failure (she's the hunter and this is her purpose and they were running out of food. and nat is still trying to rationalize what happened, reluctantly taking part in their rituals while not quite believing) and a need to take care of her bones, of treating her remains with respect but also waiting to be alone with them to talk to her, to thank her, to apologize
#for (most) of the rest imo it's such repression like there is a reason we start the ep with everyone like. inside#and with walls between them and jackie's remains#and nat sitting outside but still on the doorsteps of the house and staring at the remains#shauna looking through a window#idk im just thinking of the ways they may be dealing with it inside their own heads while also being in this small group#where Everyone Did It. it's a weird mix of like. this is acceptable here and it's a shaky balance and we all have to act like this is fine#like the only person who publicly loses it is the one who did NOT make a conscious choice that night#idk im THINKING im turning it around in my head#yellowjackets blogging#yellowjackets spoilers#yellowjackets#nat#taissa#tainat

I love Kamala saying "we were born for such a time as this" while speaking to a church because hell yeah Esther is a good reference for this moment. Trump is every bit a Haman of the modern day, and I would very much like to see him brought down in large part by women and (metaphorically) hung on his own gallows.
#tell me you can't envision Trump doing that whole thing with the parade lmao#sorry to those who have no idea what i'm talking about#side note in this house we also stan queen vashti#i remain icked by politicians in churches but i get that she kind of has to do it cuz that's just how the US is i guess

Finally done with teen wolf rewatch. Phew
#took me like 3 months#thought I was gonna watch a few eisodes I like because I was feeling nostalgic one evening now I finished the whole thing lol#not the movie tho I don't vibe with it#one of a few things I noticed is that scott smiles fondly at stiles' remarks a lot :')#anyway thinking about how each character change along the way#lydia is like a completely different character from the first seasons#since I'm biased I love the dynamic change with scott and stiles#like they kinda swapped roles a bit but still remain themselves??#scott develops from an awkward teen only caring about living normal life when he has more people to protect and learning to become a leader#he's almost unrecognizable from the first ep too#for stiles. he has character development of course but I think he himself hasn't changed much#even if he said they're not kids running in the woods anymore#he's still the mischievous sarcastic lil guy we know showing up at scott's house. running around looking for trouble & helping people#he always has that dark & anxious side#it's us that know more and more about different sides of him as the story goes on#from the start it's just the two of them against the world. now they're holding hands with their friends facing the world#anyway this show did get a little weird and inconsistent which is not surprising consider how long it went#the scripts also revolve around actor/actress availability also#so many characters with interesting dynamic what wasn't given time to explore#free real estate for us fans

-crawls out of hell-
Oh hey guys, what's up
#partners mania is increasing#fought from 8am to 12am#thats right 16 hours#to be clear#i am still sick#so i am exhausted#and my menstrual cycle#remains weird as hell#its just a lot#during a calmer part#I pointed out to my partner#that we're both in 9th house years#with mercury as our time lord#and this is our first mercury retrograde#of the year#concerned because we both have natal mercury in 8H#anywho#this is how she found out that there are roughly 3 mercury retrogrades a year#she was not pleased#it's going to be a weird year#just crossing my fingers#I make it through

About that Listhea and Edelgard dialogue on crest and nobles, do you remember how in the begining of the game Hanneman wonders if Byleth as a Crest when they are a freaking commoner/mercenary ?
That's another reason why the doodoo about "crust = nobles" is, well, doodoo.
Thing is, Fodlan verse cannot be that well developed and written because Supreme Leader has to "have a point" for people who buy things at face value.
So we can't have succession crisis when commoners (maybe far far far far removed bastards?) pop up with a crest while the "noble line" doesn't have any to lampshade how the crust system is BaD because it decides inheritence... when Supreme Leader hammers that everyone with a crust is a noble.
Imagine a verse where Hanneman's crest detector machine is used to "discredit" or to give more credit to, say, someone's inheritance by checking if they have a crest or not, or House Goneril having to deal with Bob the fisher who has a Crest of Goneril, thus asks for his part of inheritance of the Goneril estate because that totes means he's part of this family?
In Supreme Leader and her court's views, Bob doesn't exist as a fisherman, Bob is already a noble! And if he isn't, well, he doesn't exist.
Are people anobled because they have a crust? Billy and Jerry are living proofs that no, they're not. But we can't focus on this too much, else Supreme Leader's spiel falls apart.
FWIW, there's a reason why I liked White Clouds, because, while it's a prologue, on its own, it gives a bit of meat to the Fodlan verse - because it's supposed to be a red herring route so you hear everything and yet see the dissonances for the big reveal (Flamey's identity!) to hit as "hard" as it does with all the sad uwus it entails, come the post-TS, we don't give a crap about Flamey anymore, and everyone drinks tea.
So, in a way, Hanneman could only wonder if Billy has a crest despite being a random in WC - because in the post TS routes, Supreme Leader has to have a point (they need those sad uwus!) and we don't care to find out or hear about magic blood, the player is hammered with "magic blood BaD because it exists".
#anon#replies#idk if I answered your question?#commoners have crusts and remain commoners#but Supreme Leader said without crust there are no nobles#so what about the crusted commoners?#without crusts some nobles are kicked out from their families we know it from the miklan issue#but at the same time crustless gustave was still a member of house dominic and the effing King's knight and tutor of his heir#in a situation where relics are valued crusts are important#and we know they grant superpowers#but is the magic blood bad because people prefer supermen#or it's just people picking their prefered leaders based on a shit criteria?#FE16#we can't go that deep in this verse#because it might sour your Hresvelg Grey
