This is what Lance Corporal Shadwell wants us all to believe. Oh sure, he's got the skills. Keeps them sharp throughout his life, clearly, 'cause it's hard to get work with his record. And burglary was certainly part of it, the harassment from the cops, the targeting. Very good cover, that.

But he was absolutely in jail for gay crimes.

The Sexual Offences Act 1967 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom (citation 1967 c. 60). It legalised homosexual acts in England and Wales, on the condition that they were consensual, in private and between two men who had attained the age of 21.

Only got oot a wee bit ago. Sorry, he told me himself.

(/jk. Or am I? That scene. That timing. Everything is meant. You decide your own headcanon, mates!)

(forgive me, Neil.)

Hello Mr Gaiman,

I was rewatching Good Omens for the 1000th time and I eventually noticed that in episode 3, when Crowley is organising the mission to steal holy water, Shadwell speaks about a jail's mate. I was wondering, for what charge Shadwell was in prison?

Burglary.

#i trust Neil obviously to know his own characters #just can't pass up this opportunity #to talk about how perfect that timing is for the scene to be set in 1967 #everything is meant #after all #good omens #lance corporal shadwell #young shadwell #shadley

They got hypnotized by that maid vampire (I'm sure there's at least one out there in Kyuushi land)

The werewolf gonna be ok with you not dating them, but in the third option they gonna feel used and you really gonna hurt their feelings (also, don't expect to date them again next full moon)

Also reminder: I checked and the moon cycle is 29 days and of these 29 days usually 3 are considered full moon

Lastly, If possible put in the tags your gender and sexuality cause I'm curious about the monsterfucker community profile :3

#poll #monster #monsterfucker #werewolf #werewolf boyfriend #werewolf girlfriend #can you warm up to the human form?#or 3 days a month is not worth the effort?#and if you can't deal with the human form... you gonna be noble and reject them? or it's ok to be a jerk for this unique opportunity?#I mean... they EVENTUALLY gonna get over it... right?#frankly even I'm not sure which vote right now...#also just dating them for the werewolf form can be considered a jerk move?#i mean... they could be dating someone that really loves his both forms #put would you totally pass dating a werewolf?#and you could eventually learn to like the human form #mine

#I also keep seeing modern au aubrey-maturin art #that makes me wish I could draw and thereby contribute #unfortunately I can't even *write* modern aus generally. but I like transferring character dynamics from place to place in my brain #and I feel like I could do a university AU very nicely if I could do AUs at all #because I have had rowers in my class with as far as I could tell jack's exact personality #(unfortunately it has to be a US university AU because (a) that's what I know and (b) afaik nobody else does randomly assigned roommates)#(and I cannot pass up the opportunity for randomly assigned roommates.#OR RATHER #for 'you seem more or less human - quick let's request each other so we don't have to go into potluck'#I think that works best)#(but maybe they are both international students anyway. that works fine. & therefore extremely alarmed by potluck [can't say they're wrong]#sophie is a sorority girl. english major I think. and I can see her so clearly #(she's the part I want to draw)#she's not that into the high-octane social schedule her sorority expects her to have #but her pushy mother was a member and it is Unthinkable that sophie should not be #and a lot of the other girls are sweet :) so it's fine :) she says #feel like she has roommate issues (unlike her original self she is able to live away from mrs williams so this makes up for that)#so she's always over in jack and stephen's room. people who know her tangentially sometimes gossip about which one she's actually dating #(at that particular moment it is actually neither of them she's just hanging out with stephen)#diana freed from the shackles of 19th century womanhood creates even more and weirder drama than in canon #idk I just want to see the plot of post captain played out over text message #don't ask me HOW idk HOW i just want it #stephen is a biology major/pre-med obvs. if he can survive organic chemistry #jack is some kind of engineering major. I think he'd enjoy that with the math. diana has changed her major 7 times #(I don't know whether to put jack in rotc. I don't think it Actually actually fits - he's in the navy in canon because he's in the navy #not bc he's Inevitably Military In All Worlds. he would not want to do that if he didn't get to sail #but at the same time I find it hard to picture him not belonging to Discipline somehow.#it's more than a disinterested passion for cleanliness that drives him to wash stephen's mug for him that has had coffee and ramen in it #(and NOT in that order)#in the bathroom sink

i can't stop thinking about curly mouthwashing

#i get him. i GET HIM SO BAD #i used to be so patient. i used to give chances over and over again to people who didn't deserve them. i still do #i don't know if it's something i'll ever grow out of. i don't want to lose my kindness #i've become more firm with people and i'm quicker to put up boundaries but i still don't seem to learn #i forgive everything. i shouldn't but i do. even if i say that i won't #because i really do believe everyone deserves a chance to grow even if time and time again they pass the opportunity #the best thing that ever happened to me was realizing that sometimes for people to grow. i can't be in their lives #so i see curly and i see the way he handles his crew and jimmy ohmy god #ive never known someone that's a jimmy full disclosure but i get why curly treats him with too much patience is all im saying #he shouldn't have. but he did. and he regrets it but he still empathizes with him!#just #fuck #standing at the edge of a bridge with your feet in cement.#i know that feeling

just realized my fatal flaw and the great struggle of possibly the rest of my life. while watching a cdrama.

#a sock speaks #local construction #fundamentally I lack the confidence needed to be a writer or a teacher #on the one hand I can't brazen my way out of this by pretending to be confident. I need to actually have the knowledge and skills I claim.#on the other hand I can't just say I'll be confident once I have more knowledge and experience. I have a master's degree!#I want to get more school but more school on its own will not fix this #I've let opportunities pass by because I was depressed. I didn't see how I could be enough for them.#or I was too tired (because I was depressed)#but sometimes it's bc I'm not sure if trying would make things better or worse (that one's on the OCD more than depression)#it makes sense that I lack confidence because of inexperience. but I can only gain experience by going for it. doing things badly is good.#it makes sense that I'm scared to face criticism. I've faced my whole community against me.#I've been stuck at someone's house debating scripture for hours with a migraine and no food. I think that was mildly traumatic for me.#but in most cases I am physically safe and the physical fear is irrational. I can work on this with some gentle exposure therapy.#but I need to bring together the effort to organize my thoughts and the bravado to hold my ground in an argument #and I can only build up this confidence with practice. I need to write. I need to do public speaking.#I'd need a platform for speaking (I'd hate to do a podcast or vlog but it'd be good for me)#but I should write! why am I not writing more? I need to write. writing is the way forward #several years ago I was in such deep despair with life that in order to survive I told myself #that I just had to survive. I didn't have to achieve anything or prove myself in any way as long as I stayed alive #and I went to grad school in Georgia not because I saw a path to a career in biblical studies but because school made me want to be alive #(extremely bizarre case of grad school not being the problem. I know.)#I know I missed a lot of benefits I could've had if I'd been mentally healthy when I went. but it's okay because it kept me going #I can go back to school or not go back. do biblical studies or do something else. I don't have big expectations for myself #but as my mental health improves it occurs to me that I COULD do more if only I believed it was worth the effort #I don't need to fear failure when the alternative was not even attempting it #I need to write. I need to write. I need to write.#I'm thinking I might start a newsletter or blog or something. some Bible stuff and some church/social commentary. just kind of open ended.

it is not slacking off to write or create it is not slacking off to do things that are fun i am not slacking off or procrastinating right now i'm allowed to do things i enjoy doing for fun including playing games and writing and such

#if i say it enough i will remember it's true #can you guess which aspect of capitalism i'm struggling with today?#it does not help my bones are somehow WORSE than yesterday even after all of the rest i took so that's Super Fun:tm:#so i've got that on in the back of my head #ugh #i... am putting off calling my grandma - i meant to do it last week but i got too in my head about it #and uno reversed myself into forgetting to do it at all until the Worst Times Possible #(generally around Normal Fuckin Meal Times)#i want to call to wish her a belated mother's day and check in re: grandpa but also...#also i don't want to have to do a phone call i don't want to talk to them about anything at all #they stress me out to talk to and it makes me super uncomfortable to be on the phone in general let alone with a Heavy Topic over our heads #like.... i'm comfortable with where i'm at acceptance-wise with Grandpa's whole situation #and i know i am late for a better relationship with the pair of them in general #like i'm not going to repair a relationship that wasn't built to collapse down to this point this is as far as it got built up to #i'm not building more relationship between me and someone who i know is passing soon when they didn't take the opportunity either #like they had just as much chance as me to improve our relationship after i became an adult and they chose to use my mother as #an intermediary which has stunted their connection to me and that's not my fault #i admittedly did not reach out but i was not taught i could safely do that to anyone #because my parents badmouth literally any person they know for one reason or another #i regularly fuck up in conversations with my grandparents because i'll say somethign that is a holdover from my understanding of them #through my parents and it's like. kind of really insulting! and i've been doing it my whole life and i know as soon as i get their reaction #and i can't recover because i don't actually know them at all #so i can't be like ''oh my god i know that's inaccurate i have no idea why i said that'' because i *don't* know until after i've done it #every goddamn time it happened the last time i got a call from them too #like... my bio fam/family of origin is just not good at keeping in touch and i know i'm a product of that #and i know theoretically how to adjust for it but it does require work on the other end of the line too #and unfortunately i know my bio family too well and know they won't do their part #i grew up in the group project everyone hates #and i'm on my way to deciding they can show up to the presentation day without me #i've started a new family project over here with blackjack and hookers

get work done while at home on break (impossible challenge)

#literally CANNOT focus or be productive and the instant i do something comes up #since this happens literally every time i think i should just accept that i can't get work done at home and shouldn't try anymore #but alas i have less than 2 months to finish my thesis that i've had to completely revamp and for which i have (as of today) written two (2 #sentences #so i have no choice but to grind this week!#literally HOW did i manage to pass my first year of Zoom University living at home #p #society if if i actually knew what i was doing and was able to pick a thesis topic i actually knew i cared about instead of scrambling.....#i do actually enjoy research and writing but i totally dropped the ball and now this opportunity to explore in depth something i really car #about has turned into a super overwhelming and stressful behemoth that i just want to be done with at a level of quality that's passable to #my advisors et al #:(#whatever it's fine lmao #i just gotta hit a Writing Groove™ but it seems like i only reach that state after an intense session of panic LMAO

I literally can't believe you do not get a one-on-one section or conversation with estinien until the VERY END OF THE GODDAMN EXPAC

#saint.txt #spoilers #major spoilers #estinienposting #YOU KNOW? THE NEWEST GUY HERE WE KNOW THE LEAST?#WHO'S CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT HAPPENED OFFSCREEN?#DEVELOPMENT THAT HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HIM AS A PERSON SO WE CAN'T COAST OFF HIS HW CHARACTERIZATION?#WHO NEEDED THE MOST HELP BC OF HIS INHERITED WRITING PROBLEMS FROM HW?#(yes I know they wrote a short story abt him. my rule is that I am fairly harsh on important character details and lore that is not #communicated in the primary medium. ie. if I have to go somewhere else to learn core character lore it should be in-game.)#but no. he's just here to be vr.tra's hype man. and I like vr.tra but goddamn.#like no wonder he feels like a side character just tacked onto the scions bc he's consistently treated as one by both them and the narrativ #and nothing is ever really done with that bc it COULD be a genuine conversation on the insularity of the scions and their work #and his perspective as an outsider with a completely different background and history and experiences could be a genuinely interesting #addition to the group dynamic as a shakeup but no!!! he's just here to be funny bc man stupid and nothing else happens!!!#he could comment on how genuinely uncomfortable his joining was (where he was basically press-ganged into it) and how he's been treated #re: the failure to keep him in the loop and the rough way he slots into the group dynamic and the pure fact that he is an outsider #to a years-long established group of friends and unintentionally or otherwise treated as an intruder / obviously doesn't feel comfortable #hanging out with his colleagues bc he passes up every opportunity to do so and how his position here is still 'mercenary'#and not 'friend and ally' AND how he's one of the few ppl here who can genuinely connect w/ the wol re: the lightwarden thing #sorry I'm ranting again but this man's writing is all over the goddamn place and I really do not get the sense that his promotion #to main character status was like. planned out in advance. bc nothing is really done with it other than hey vr.tra here's your dude.

I know I'm my father's daughter because I literally just bought us concert tickets this morning, and he's already talking about getting tickets to another show.

#we have coupon codes so the other concert tickets would only be $5 each which really seems like an opportunity we shouldn't pass up #plus it's a cool artist that I haven't seen before and my dad's been wanting me to see #we just can't go too long without a concert apparently lol #ashley rambles

// AND WHO IS THIS TALL DARK AND HANDSOME MAN NAMED EIREK

[ He's Akane's endgame hubby!! (At least in the good ending where everything works out well and they both survive lol)

I've had him around for quite a few years but have never been able to develop him much for one reason or another. I wasn't sure what direction I wanted to go with him and if I even liked what I was doing with his character storywise. I've more recently reworked his entire story and even his name, which used to be Eli. His character design, personality, and relationship to Akane have stayed pretty consistent though. ]

Here's my most recent art of them:

And here's some ancient art:

They're basically this:

#i shall slink off to bed but i can't pass up the opportunity to talk about my boy Eirek Dragonsbane <333 #he's from Sakuraki and when through the same stuff akane did (the attack and being in an orphange + funneled into the Navy)#but he approaches it all so differently #and they are just... very healing to each other WAAH #FOR ALL ( ooc. )#FOR ALL ( answered. )#EIREK ( general tag. )#sxrosee

Would like to suggest an alternative ship name for the Obi-Wan and Satine thing:

Satobi

Now, I know, it's not the most aesthetically or aurally pleasing word, but if you say it quickly, it sounds like "sad Obi," and that's just so appropriate.

(Disclaimer: I don't know much about the whole ship-naming thing, so apologies if this breaks any rules of nomenclature, but it was a fun way to play with sounds and meanings.)

#obi wan kenobi #satine kryze #obitine #wordplay #star wars #alternative ship name just for the fun of it #satobi #why am i doing this #the opportunity was too good to pass up #that awkward feeling when you don't really care about ship-naming but you can't resist a nice bit of word play
