all i can think about is soft!benny :'(

benny who doesn't give a fuck when the boys hoot and holler and give him shit whenever you're within ten feet of one another. benny who tips his chin, fights a smile, and docks his jaw atop your head as you stand in front of him while cal prattles on about stacking donuts on his dick. benny who tugs you into his lap at any and every opportunity because he wants you close close close. benny who let you paint his nails because you asked so nicely. benny who promises each time he leaves your sight that he'll return. benny who helps you slide into his jacket; who grabs the lapels and presses a kiss on your nose before letting you go. benny who takes you on late-night rides because you told him you couldn't see the stars for the light pollution. benny who doesn't talk, not much, but never hesitates to whisper a firm "i love you." in your ear when he gets the chance. benny who smiles so warmly at you when you're rambling because jesus christ you're the most darling thing he's ever laid eyes on. benny who knows this life is dangerous and wants to protect you. benny who laces your fingers together in crowds. benny who stands outside of bathrooms whenever you and your girlfriends are in there. benny who lets you be you. who loves you in the most purest of ways because you love him. benny :'(

theyre still very silly (redraw of this!)

aziraphale constantly expresses his admiration and adoration for crowley by telling him he's nice, and good, and thanks him for what he does for him, calls him all the time to tell him things, "our car" and "our bookshop". and then dear, sweet crowley, who cannot go a single minute without doing something for aziraphale, driving him around everywhere, looking after and tidying the bookshop, indulging him in his earthly pleasures and quaint little hobbies, saving him even when he doesn't necessarily ask to be saved, "little demonic miracle of my own" and "alright, I'll do that one, my treat."

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are set.

let's look at the bandstand, where crowley offers to magic them away, away from earth and the loom of armageddon, and aziraphale retaliates with stating that they're not friends and he's doesn't even like him. let's look at the So Did I argument, where crowley offers to whisk gabriel away and dump him on the moors so aziraphale doesnt have to deal with it and is no longer under threat from the former archangel, and aziraphale practically begs crowley to stay, that he'd "love [him] to help [him]".

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are being rejected; they're not working.

let's look at 1967, where aziraphale gives in to giving crowley the holy water, but refuses the lift to anywhere he wants to go, and crowley offers to thank aziraphale, but refuses to hear aziraphale's verbal concerns about the danger it poses to him, "you told me what you think - 105 years ago." let's look at the final fifteen, where aziraphale offers to restore crowley to what he thinks crowley has always been yearning for, and crowley tries to tell aziraphale exactly what he means to him, put it into words what he hopes aziraphale will see through and understand.

their methods of communicating their - friendship, affection, love - are swapped, and break them apart altogether.

swapping those methods, in a guesswork effort to reach the other person better, isn't the answer. the action, and what is being said, is what needs to change. crowley offers things that aziraphale doesn't want, or goes against who he is fundamentally, and aziraphale says things that wound crowley deeply, reducing what they are to nothing in a few sharp words. so instead crowley tries to use words, and aziraphale tries to offer an act of devotion; but this doesn't work either - arguably, it's worse!

what they communicate needs to be clearer, not how. crowley needs to stay with aziraphale when he promises that he will, and not attempt to solve problems by running from what he doesn't want to face, threatening to abandon him in the process. aziraphale needs to express outright, plainly, what crowley needs to hear; that exactly as he is, everything that he is, is everything that aziraphale wants and respects and loves. and to be able to do that, they need start by giving each other the respect of acknowledging their respective boundaries, their fears, and what principles are important to them.

they've had their methods right all along, but what they're currently saying with them doesn't make sense. it's the french all over again; the words can be translated, "but you understood me!", but that doesn't mean that it makes any sense.

YOU🫵

I swear your tower ouroboros was actually a prediction! gempearl onesided breakup caused by a misunderstanding + towers are being built + tilly / billy + scarlet pearl creeping in

See the thing is I think it would've ended up a prediction either way, the nature of Pearl's life series is that it always ends up cycling back in some way

For every life series since dl, pearl has built a tower; Pearl is always drawn towards wolves and/or having an animal companion; and her reputation has never really escaped her, in last life she was seen as fairly reasonable outside her alliance (i believe scott said something along the lines of being glad he was allied with her and not against her at one point) but past dl people are much more willing to think of her as any team's wildcard (and i mean they're not always necessarily wrong but also she's just a silly guy)(and regardless of shenanigans, she's loyal!! She's loyal to those she commits herself to to a fault)

i got off track. Point is that i think traffic!pearl is in a constant state of ouroboros relating to dl :O after all, pearl said it herself that she never really left that tower

this has SUCH meme potential

[dreamtydraw]

*cry in agony* I MISS MY WIFE-

Do you remember that when you go into his mind his dream is about celebrating his birthday with people he loves and them loving him back regardless of his flaw ? He dreams that his best friends are here and his sister is happy for him Because i always think of it, and i always think of the fact that the writing on the door is wrong because sage can’t read…

Do you think about the fact that in his dream mc is there with all this people who cares about him and in his mind mc is feeding him cake and is called « his favorite person »

I think about it often-

losing my mind because caspian is innocent i feel it in my balls but like i was trying to think who else would the mole be??

and it can’t be marshall john— i was about to raise that he couldn’t have feasibly fought off the navy wayy back in episode 1, and perhaps they brought him back in and forced him to be a spy (which could explain his early obsession w/the grand berry pirates and finding lizzie) but like. if this was the case, why would they have put him in the block? let him freeze nearly to death? like usually that’s not what you do with your own spies.

but then also. like. some of my mutuals suggested rudith (hi guys ily muah) and. rudith is a doctor, he had a life previously on joaldo, which is neutral (or is it pirate?) soil. of course, we could ask who trained him? could it have been navy? it’s possible but i just don’t think grizzly would elect for that writing choice. also i believe rudith actually got dropped off in edison kingdom w/his patients. or maybe i’m insane

i think that any other members who joined the grandberry crew just… wouldn’t work out as spies/traitors. they came in way too late. they wouldn’t have as many secrets or intel, wouldn’t be as high in the “ranks”.

but caspian, we don’t really know where he came from. he told gillion a little bit about his family but that’s it.

caspian was there when shadowbeard and ava died. i’m unsure if they mentioned how long he was with shadowbeard’s crew beforehand.

and if he’s there at this upcoming battle that lizzie leads, the parallels would be insane— jay watching lizzie die, the same way lizzie watched ava die.

^ caspian pulling jay out. having the motivation to do so because she’s the vice admiral’s daughter, and could also be a bargaining chip against the riptide pirates.

i said the stuff about caspian before and this is me saying it again and just. trying really hard to think of any scenario where he’s innocent. it may be joever guys

Scattered 'cross my family line

I'm so good at telling lies

That came from my mother's side

Told a million to survive

Scattered 'cross my family line

God, I have my father's eyes

But my sister's when I cry

I can run, but I can't hide

From my family line

From my family line

Oh, all that I did to try to undo it

All of my pain and all your excuses

I was a kid but I wasn't clueless

(Someone who loves you wouldn't do this)

All of my past, I tried to erase it

But now I see, would I even change it?

Might share a face and share a last name, but

(We are not the same)

~lol. They’re Christmas colors.

~also, I feel this is rlly accurate.

hi how is ethubs toxic for etho? I’m curious, and don’t really care either way lol just wanted to see your perspective (I think you implied it in a post of yours)

so i would personally interpret ethubs as toxic from both sides and it feels unfair when analysing something like that to say "this person definitively had the Worse Experience" because that's not something you can measure- having said that i definitely like to look at etho's more, mainly because it lines up with my own personal experiences and is also something that i don't see discussed very much.

ethubs as a whole can be difficult to read as toxic sometimes because as a viewer you're already aware the two actors are close friends outside of the roleplay and so their constant back and forth and commitment to each other is obviously in part because of that but as characters they very much read to me as dependent to an unhealthy degree. all of last life functions as a push-pull exercise, mainly with bdubs as the one pulling while etho allows himself to get pulled along even into intense danger for them both until he realises bdubs is pulling him off a cliff edge and pushes (the wither fight/telling bdubs he won't give him a life). bdubs demands a lot from him, often pointing to "the good old days" and promising that once etho does whatever he needs to do things will go back to normal- to the point where etho himself starts leaning into that idea, telling bdubs "we can be buddies again!" in their final meeting despite this, again, being a death game where there is no hope for either of them. this could still be read as just a very committed relationship but what sets it against etho for me is that bdubs is (unintentionally) emotionally manipulative- he is desperate to stay with etho, of course he is! and often directs comments towards etho insinuating other people won't get him the way bdubs does (an element of truth- etho is a lone wolf and was never as open with his other allies as he was with bdubs) and, most importantly, telling etho to kill himself in order to join him as a red life or else he will kill him himself. this is bad!

bdubs is also an incredibly reckless character, which isn't really a toxic trait but in their partnership becomes significant as etho is always chasing after him to try and save him- while etho never directly gives him a life of his own he is constantly at ends trying to find lives for him, be that in asking tango, striking deals with scar, or allowing bdubs to kill tango despite having the means to stop him. stuff like when bdubs trades off a life for the enchanter and etho frustratedly says back "i care about bdubs more than i care about the enchanter!" bdubs is constantly working towards a win for them both (and i don't doubt that had it been the two of them left, he would have asked etho to kill him- he does this all through his own warped perception of loyalty) while etho is constantly working just to keep them alive and safe and the two ideals end up clashing a lot.

does all of this make a toxic relationship? not in every case. but to me (again, likely because of personal similar experience and bias) it reads very much like that and i think if etho was more into the roleplay and displayed even the slightest bit of distress it would suddenly look INCREDIBLY apparent. part of the reason it doesn't is because as a character he is used to hiding his true feelings and discomfort in order to survive.
