#light bulb moments

[dsmsw]

Thank you @pythox and @petshopfox for articulating and processing my feelings on this so well. The deliberateness of seeing a flying sausage at the end felt like the key to all of this, but I couldn’t shake all of my doubts.

The use of AI in "The Schlager Hit Parade" video is a clever trick and ironic stylistic choice to take aim at all the artificiality of the German Schlager.

It's only a laugh - no harm done!

(I say that as an artist who's highly critical and rejecting towards AI.)

How do you sleep at night? No one to hide behind Betrayed every alibi you had You had every chance to make amends instead you got drunk on bitterness And you still claim that you're innocent, it's sad

Okay how did I only just now realise that the person playing Jean-Paul Marat in the 1927 Napoléon is the Antonin Artaud? Like Theatre of Cruelty Antonin Artaud?

(honestly seems kind of fitting)

take me to church

...i'll worship like a dog 🎵 a twist on season 2's ending. what if crowley did go with aziraphale to heaven. (i honestly have no idea where i was going with this haha just a quick reimagine i guess. my thought process was and i quote from my notes app "something something how crowley is devoted to aziraphale... hozier take me to church")

@coffeeworldsasaki: #the fact that i can regulate the brightness means that even when my eyes are most sensible i don't have to stay in complete darkeness#i just set it at 1% and it just slightly brighten my desk#if my eyes are better i can raise the brightness as much as i can bare#it's extremely useful to me and i love that stupid lightbulb that took 15 minutes to connect

I hate to say it because I'm against all stuff that has no need to be connected to the internet being connected but. This stupid smart lightbulb saved my fucking life

One of my favorite tropes is she/he fell first, but he/she fell harder and one of my favorite things from this trope is when the the one who fell harder has that moment of wait a second . . . and then you see the light bulb turn on over their heads or see their only brain cell finally kicking in.

I'll use polin for this example. Because in my belief their first kiss showcases it well.

We got Penelope, who's been in love way longer than I would've allowed myself, gathering up her Whistledown courage and asking the man she secretly loves to kiss her. She's more casual about this because, in a way, she's used to this feeling.

Meanwhile, we see Colin hesitating because now this is unfamiliar territory to him in terms of his relationship with Penelope. Sure, he's had mistresses in the past when traveling, but those never involved feelings or anything in some sort of permanence. Not like Penelope.

But they still kiss. And then, then you read this one line from Colin's pov.

Now this was a kiss

You know this is the moment Colin's brain shifted. The door has been opened, and he's ready to dive in.

Then the kiss stops. Penelope, has been in love, is flushed, but thanks him like he just did her a simple favor. Meanwhile, Colin, completely reevaluating his defention of friendly feelings, is almost offended by her thanks. He's off kiltered around her now but like hell is he gonna stay away.

can I introduce the theory that when yei shouted that he invested so much on yak, it was kind of a foreshadowing to him being involved with bets? and that's what he's hiding from cher?

and now he's up with debt, probably owes money to a lot of bad people, and that shit is gonna get real bad real soon.

I'm thinking thoughts...

i'm going into blathering oaf mode which i need to type out because otherwise i will literally sit and stare at a blank wall full monkey cymbals instead of doing work that, ya know, pays the bills

buckle up, i think ur going to want to read this one (and if not obvious by the Read More, spoilers ahead)

right im watching s1 again because it is literally my comfort show and i will have it on in the background whilst im working

and im on Hard Times (ep3) and it's just got to the You Go Too Fast for me Crowley scene which obviously HEARTBREAKING

but it just suddenly occurred to me - when we leave the 1941 scene, it feels like the metaphorical ice has been broken and they've like non-verbally agreed to let go of the Holy Water Tantrum

and on top of that we see aziraphale realise he's in love with crowley, and THEN we see the dinner scene in the s2 trailer like solidifies that theyre all cosy and bashful and intimate and seem to have certainly forgotten the whole argument

BUT THEN we get to the 60s scene. and suddenly there's atmosphere. there's suddenly tension. it's awkward and cold and almost a bit nasty. and there is absolutely no reason for it, if you judge only on the linear events given to us in ep3

(EDIT: i watched it again last night and the only other reason i can think of for az being such an arse is that he found out about the robbery by hearsay and not directly from crowley which ok yeah is plausible absolutely and probably the reason for all of it but sOMETHING in my hind brain is just nagging at me that it's more than that so i stand by the following musing....... you may proceed)

what the fuCK happens in that dinner scene??? what in the last circle of hELL prompts az to come up with the "you go too fast for me Crowley" line????

because im telling ya, im betting my last vestige of sanity, that it is NOT the holy water thing

im fairly certain that there's going to be a discussion of the holy water thing in the dinner scene, i think that's a given - when you take into account that az's gut reaction to Crowley asking for holy water was to refuse him because ✨IT WOULD KILL CROWLEY✨, i think that is going to be discussed in that dinner scene

but

BUT.

ahem

i full pussy, honestly and truly (but absolutely fine if im proven wrong), will die by this BELIEVE that there's going to be an a love confession of Some Sort from one of them

Let's face it ---- probably from crowley ("why did you save my books?" "...")

in this scene.

going a step beyond that, i even think there might be a move made from crowley (not The Kiss, mainly because the costume/hair doesn't match but also doesn't seem like the right one) but like maybe he leans in or crowds into az a little too close in this dinner scene and it's going to absolutely scare the beejesus out of az

HE. 💔 GOES. 💔 TOO. 💔 FAST. 💔

like az has literally just realised he feels something that, let's be real, he SHOULD NOT feel bc a) he's an angel and b) crowley is a demon.

but then crowley alludes to having feelings for az? possibly suggest to him that he has for ThousANDS of years???? and that he saved his books because he knew it was important to az????????

nopenopenope toO FAST BOY

az is an angel. opposite side to crowley. literally challenges everything az believes about being an angel and belonging to heaven. this could mean he falls. nopenopenope. too fast.

this is literally the onLY reason i can think of that would result in what appears to be a lovely cute scene, where az is quite blatantly moon eyeing crowley over a bottle of chateau, but immediately swings 30 years later to being cold and distant and "You Go Too Fast for me Crowley"

i will live and die by this, so help me god

and now....... discuss

I got a byler/willelmike triangle art idea.. not sure if anyone has done it already but I feel slightly big brained lol

[denkilightning]

a diff op than the other but if i remember correctly, when jay is training lloyd in s2 (or s1, i cant remember) he focuses more on controlling his power (the lightbulb). and to be careful to direct it properly and not to overuse - lest it go out of his control and shatter the bulb. i’m pretty sure lloyd struggles with it and jay had to seek mentorship with wu on how to teach lloyd control - something it’s implied that jay specifically works with more than the others.

alternatively, doc said this on his twt: https://x.com/otherland71/status/1730427609899814918?s=46&t=0V3zoHAB3aaGxZWIR3lj1w

jay can (canonically, according to doc) charge up to 1.21 gigawatts - more than enough to fry someone to a crisp, so obviously he’s been holding back a lot when using his powers, but like doc says “he can pull his punches when needed” - he slowly reigns in his control when needed to do more damage. control is a large theme in jays power. i think this is what rhe og op was talking about, but if it’s not feel free to correct me. hope this helped though!

holy shit this is great.

also this makes me convinced that in s4 during the cole/jay fight when they start fighting the people chen sent at them and jay zaps the guy for a few very long seconds? He Kills Him.

october hcs - day 16: grungy

more grungy flannels, ripped jeans, etc helped adri embrace being nonbinary. she'd never been shy about saying she was attracted to dance because of the costumes, but it took some time for her to make the same connections to athletic gear and scrubs - just this time more for their neutrality and/or masculinity.
