Scott: What can you do, Martyn?

Martyn: I haven't quite figured that out yet. [Martyn then produces roughly ten seconds of elaborate bullshit.]

Scott: What about when you were stood over with Grian and all that, and you were laughing about your power, saying how it would help you be sneaky?

[fortuitously-timed thunderclap]

Martyn: Oh! There goes Skizz! What's going on there? [runs away]

what's fun about asa and kaeya is that they have like nothing in common. there is no reason for me to be shipping this underdeveloped oc with kaeya beyond just the fact that i really like kaeya and i really like asa and itd be cool if they kissed

The other day at work I made a stupid joke about how eating someone's liver was a very traditional punishment for theft. (We had just suffered a rash of bag lunch disappearances and were talking about fake-threatening notes to leave on our lunches to deter theft.) 2 of the 3 people I was talking to had not heard of Prometheus and when I explained, one of them seemed to think I was talking about a real person at first.

I'm so sorry, OP, but most people are not ready to know about Loki's horsefucker phase.

I think the most unintentionally pretentious part of me is I genuinely forget that most people do not have a near-encyclopedic knowledge of mythology and folklore. I literally just assume most people know at least the name of every Greek god. My mom and I were watching the Banshees of Inisherin and at the start, she asked "Do you know what a banshee is?" and I was so stunned because it would never occur to me to ask that question because I would never assume the average person doesn't know what a banshee is. The average person knows what a banshee is right. You know what a banshee is right. You know the names of the greek gods right. You know that norse myth where loki fucked the horse right. Right. RIGHT

soooo I just finished watching that star wars hotel video and oh my god the fire safety what the fuckkkk

BUT ALSO if you are some kind of weirdo who watched this (or the evermore video) and was like "man I wish that thing existed but was good," I... can't help you specifically with Star Wars (or generic high fantasy settings) but if you are an adult or a family with teens (who are okay with some mild references to sexuality in a coming-of-age context -- which honestly would go over the heads of most kids too young to deal with them?), don't have issues with darkness, flashing lights, or potential immune issues due to touching touchscreens, and enjoy a little light cosmic and/or implied body horror I highly highly suggest going to Omega Mart next time you are in Las Vegas. It is surreal and fun and while I definitely ran into some issues there with 1. going down the story path I didn't mean to go down and 2. LOSING MY EMPLOYEE ID CARD (to be clear I did not work there, in the fiction of the game all guests are Omega Mart employees), there were helpful (actual) employees there to jump in and help me without breaking immersion at all. They were great.

There are some pathways (physical pathways) that require an ability to climb stairs but there are ALWAYS multiple paths between two points so while you might not be able to crawl through the tunnel and then climb the rope from [spoiler place] to [other spoiler place] or do the slides, you can still physically get to the plot-important places and I think at most people who can't do stairs miss... some kind of pointless music machines? (Which I had fun with ngl but I fucked around with them for like 10 minutes more because I was in the area looking for my lost ID badge and asking if people had found it.) I haven't been to the other Meow Wolf installations but I would love to go given the chance.

And if you really want a themed hotel... well, you can't find an eldritch dimension-hopping supermarket-themed hotel, no, but if you stay on the strip there's going to be a lot of neon and trying to sell you things, and also optionally a theme, so like. That's not dissimilar.

Fire safety both at these Vegas hotels and at Omega Mart will be better than crawling into a small closet with 4 of your closest friends and hoping to not die, also. And a substantial amount of the story of Omega Mart is "wow corporate greed does ruin everything," so if you liked the video you probably will also like this.

[Edit: also to be clear I don't really think Omega Mart is small-child-friendly, but mostly because it's a lot of reading, and the bulk of it is either corporate memos or a teenage girl's diaries. A lot of the stuff I found most engaging was exploring the strained intergenerational family dynamic between the girl, her mom, and her grandfather, something that small children would find either boring or upsetting or both. It's not the sexuality that's the issue, it's some offscreen implied character death-but-not-really (that not-really doesn't make it better!) and just plain bad parenting, plus the broader theme of a greedy grocery chain turning ancient mystery and natural wonder into queasy reality-breaking horror.]

[kaesaaurelia]

Man, last night I watched Ren's latest Wild Life ep and his little monologue about how everyone got really backstabby since he played, but thankfully Martyn would never betray him has me feeling some feelings.

Mostly because, uh, I'm fresh off of Limited Life and also have seen Martyn's VOD where he talks about how he was definitely going to betray Ren at the end of 3rd Life. I'm torn between "mhmm, yeah, definitely Martyn, you definitely would betray the man who gave you the axe to kill him and then, fresh from respawn and still unarmed, offered to let you kill him again," and "jeez, I hope Ren knows that Martyn would betray him in a milisecond if it was funny, he's like Murder Bugs Bunny."

Have a handful of alliances I'm totally normal about.

Tbh the main reason I use behindthename NOW is the excellent search functions but the reason I STARTED using it in high school is that someone walking into my room and seeing me on YOUAREHAVINGSOMANYBABIES.OMG would have killed me stone dead.

[aziraphales-library]

hi!! i hope you're all doing well, could i request some muriel-centric or muriel pov fics?

Hello. Here are some Muriel fics...

Bonding By Way of Cupperty by keelywolfe (G)

Muriel hasn't been on Earth very long but she is learning quickly. Some things, though, she's known for a very long time.

Angelic Discovery by AuDHDMess (G)

Muriel reflects on their experiences on Earth and meets a human who gives them insight into their own mind.

Report On Human Behavioral Patterns: 823.7, Austen by halemerry (G)

Muriel reads a book that reminds them of a moment they were never meant to see.

Forever by Fuck_Right_Off (G)

“How long do we wait?” They turn their head to the side, matching the movement they had seen him do just moments before. “Forever.” His shoulders slouch. “Forever?” Muriel parroted. Then as if thinking better on it he says. “Until they need us.” Straightening his back, adjusting his gaze forward. “When will they need us?” “I…don’t know.” Muriel didn’t fully understand but that was alright. They had all the time in the world to understand. They had Forever. They smiled at him, teeth showing unabashed “okay.” ------ or Muriel finds their piece of the infinite puzzle...eventually. one book at a time.

Who Is Taking Books? by Arielavader (T)

Muriel needs the help of the demon Crowley to solve a small mystery at the bookshop... a mystery that leads her to questions she knows she shouldn't ask. The other demon he sent to help isn't making those questions any easier to answer.

The Adventure of the Sad Wet Snake by Kaesa (T)

After moving into the bookshop, Crowley develops a sudden and terrible illness, one that endangers the whole neighborhood. But fortunately for everyone, Muriel is on the case!

- Mod D

[fearandhatred]

what are your favorite good omens fics??

WOO REC TIME thank u for asking!! you may want to ask again after i've finished my resolution of reading all my mutuals' fics though because i've barely had the time to read anything these past few months... so i don't have much bookmarked lol but here are a few anyway! (from earliest read to most recent)

mourning doves by sleepyimpulse (Words: 22,686 Chapters: 7/7)

“I’m sorry,” he registered himself saying between heaving sobs. “I’m so sorry, Crowley, I’m so sorry. Forgive me, please, please forgive me.” He hadn’t meant to say it like that, he knew the words were all wrong (he would never find the right ones). But the pain was coming at him in every direction and something, something had to give, and so he clung to Crowley like a life preserver. Crowley bent his body over Aziraphale’s and slowly, surely, pressed a kiss to his bloodied forehead. “I can’t,” he whispered, and Aziraphale went unconscious. (Aziraphale falls, post season 2)

this was one of the very first good omens fics i read and one thing about me is i LOVE this type of angst. so so good and such a nice exploration of crowley's struggle with what forgiveness is. gorgeous and so angsty. have i said that already. angst galore

say yes to me (i've got my eye on you) by thehappyyears (Words: 11,983 Chapters: 1/1)

It’s a pleasant evening much like many pleasant evenings this month, so Crowley doesn’t expect anything unusual when he makes himself comfortable on his side of the couch and lets Aziraphale select the wine. Which is why he’s resolutely caught off guard when Aziraphale disappears into a backroom, which Crowley always assumed was a wine cellar, and then turns around, darkness behind him and low, warm light gilding his hair and making his eyes bright. He’s breathtaking, he’s so beautiful, his eyes are so dark. “Crowley,” he breathes. Or, Crowley and Aziraphale have sex.

this is THE epitome of service top crowley. all hail service top crowley. also it's just so well-written and seamless. also i don't want this list to be too long so if smut is your thing then i recommend literally anything by focusfixated or zehwulf or Ineffably_Yours

Zmija by Himitsu_no (Words: 3,185 Chapters: 4/4)

He'd sigh in annoyance and hide his face in the angel's chest. "Said if they lived longer they'd have more time to become nasty and corrupted little shits, do all sorts of evil deeds and the likes. They never questioned it and went as far as warn me in advance of all the bigger natural disasters." Aziraphale would laugh and his fingers find their way into the red locks with practiced ease, and he'd bend to kiss the top of his head. "Did they do that, though? The evil deeds." Crowley would smile despite himself, eyes closed and leaning into the caress. "About a dozen, maybe. The rest were just... ordinary humans doing ordinary stuff." There'd be a long pause in which the angel would take it all in, and the demon would replay many of it in his mind with unease. Then Aziraphale would speak again, voice barely a whisper, "How long were you in Mesopotamia after the flood, my love?"

yeah i have this in my bookmarks but i have not touched it ever since i read it the first time because. it hurts me :) idk if it's because of my mommy and daddy issues but the whole crowley being good with kids tropes makes me so sad. and also this fic is just. devastating to me. i really should leave a comment but i don't want to read it again fr

when i knew love’s perfect ache by sugarskulled (Words: 1,834 Chapters: 1/1)

A demon can't touch that which has been made holy by God. Crowley knows this well as anyone. And Aziraphale? Aziraphale is so holy it burns.

this is definitely one of my favourite good omens fics of all time. angst again and so bittersweet i think about it so often

better to read and eat cake in a Soho bookshop than to reign in Hell by Kaesa (Words: 35,717 Chapters: 5/8)

When Aziraphale flees Heaven with the Book of Life, he's planned for it -- he's alerted other angels stationed on Earth to Heaven's plans, and asked them to take steps so that humans won't get caught up in the inevitable battle he faces with the other archangels. But Crowley shows up too, and he doesn't know the plan, and in the chaos Aziraphale leaps in front of a terrible blow meant for Crowley. And so, still very angry with him, Crowley must get him back to the bookshop (which is full of annoying angels) and help him heal, and try to figure out how to move past their previous fight, because, sure, he's mad at Aziraphale, but he doesn't want him to die. But soon enough it becomes clear that Aziraphale isn't necessarily dying. He is changing, and no one quite knows what to expect, because this situation has only happened once before, when Supreme Archangel Lucifer Fell and became Satan.

this fic has everything tbh and it's one i keep coming back to. the smut is great AND well-written and besides that the plot itself is so good??? the writing overall is just gorgeous tbh. slight body horror too :) the moment this updates i will be all over it like a rabid dog

Dear Angel by crowleys_bentley_and_plants (Words: 3,379 Chapters: 13/?)

A collection of emails addressed to a certain Aziraphale, found on the computer of a lonely demon.

poetic and hard-hitting and interconnected and also tells a story. through emails!! also the last lines of every chapter always knock me out lmaoo

to hold you like a bouquet by gravitron (Words: 10,676 Chapters: 1/1)

Crowley and Aziraphale, as told by history’s flowers.

can y'all read this fic oh my god i'm gonna fight everyone. so so beautifully written and well-structured. you know what i'm just gonna copy and paste part of my comment on here because yeah: i love your writing it's just. The Way Yo uWrite. The Words. your way with words. etc. and some of your sentences have a directness to them that's so effective. and the way you incorporated the flowers into every part of the story is like... so tastefully done I'm obsessed

Hey, everybody!

I understand it's customary on Tumblr to make a post with the rules, so here I am :)

My main nickname is kaesa. English is not my native language, so you may encounter strange turns of speech in my texts. I apologize for that.

I like dark content and writing eroguro. I really love yandere. I have NO restrictions on tags. I write literally anything that is not prohibited by the site rules. I love NSFW.

I write in the Transformers fandom. I've read all the comics, watched all the cartoons and movies, and played all the games, so I'd be happy to take requests on any Transformers universe!

My favorite character is Optimus Prime from TFP and Optimus Prime from the shattered glass universe. Well, and Optimus Prime himself as such in any of his incarnations. But I don't mind writing on other characters and peirings as well.

I like to write Optimus/fem! human! reader, but I can write something else as well, depending on the request.

I'd be happy to receive requests, ask from you, as well as chatting in person.

A Jedi's life is to struggle serve.

A portrait of my main Barsen'thor from SWTOR, Kaesa. Oldest sister to the Wrath, they were separated when the Wrath was just a baby and Kaesa was brought up by the Jedi Order, becoming one of its fiercest beacons of light and duty.

I got the unstable arbiter's lightsaber a long time ago and i love using it in all my characters, so i decided to actually draw hers here. looks neat imo. I went for a stroky artstyle this time and this looks great

started out trying to explain to a friend why I think they would like Pearl in the Life Series, ended up maybe saying a little too much about myself.

[kaesaaurelia]

Can we also talk about them casually flinging out "haha, what a loser, you must have been a victim of child abuse/neglect" as an insult, because uh. Yeah I'm not gonna pretend my darker and more violent fic ISN'T heavily influenced by abuse I experienced as a child, but I don't think that's actually a prerequisite, and it's frankly incredibly funny for someone to portray themselves as morally superior when they're saying "lol I bet you suffered lifelong trauma due to being mistreated by adults at your most vulnerable! what a loser!" Sure, Babykicker McGee, tell me how morally superior your fiction is. Tell me how you are making the world a better place by having better taste in daydreams and mocking survivors of childhood trauma.

This post is so funny like comment subscribe if you picture your favs bloodied and coughing on the floor and flinching
