I didn’t sleep last night so I had a matcha cream frappuccino from Starbucks for breakfast. I am riding the fragile caffeine/sugar high and I am going to crash so badly I can feel it

Must get as much time as I can before that happens

I told myself I was just gonna do some simple doodles, and TECHNICALLY, I did do that! I just also did a few more complex ones with references and cleaned up lines and shading... so there!

Anyways, never let anyone tell you you're too old to play with dolls!

And go read The Welcome End of a Dream by @adjacentperception

I'm having an italicized Oh moment here. This post just recontextualized the whole post-bandstand discussion and bookshop fire for me.

Crowley already knew Aziraphale was gonna stumble on the Metatron in the chain of command. But he couldn't talk about it with him bc that would mean having a real talk about the Fall with Aziraphale, and he can't do that, not even in a desperate situation. We've seen it many times, he just can't.

And then the bookshop fire happens. And Aziraphale is gone. Because he didn't warn him.

Crowley was blaming himself there. Not just bc he didn't pick up that phone call. THAT'S WHY HE WAS MUMBLING ABOUT HIS FALL AT THE BAR. He was like "what could I have done differently" not just about his Fall, but maybe about how could he have disclosed it to Aziraphale.

ya know Crowleys line "just to be able to ask" in the Job scene makes me think he never got to ask God anything

it makes me think he got to The Metatron, who then was like, "so there's this falling thing that's really en vogue rn,so we're gonna do that"

THAT'S why crowley Knows in S1 Aziraphale won't be able to talk to The Almighty. Bc Aziraphale won't even get that far.

Cause think about it, based on what we know, if Crowley fell for directly asking God questions or giving suggestions, and if they really thought Aziraphale would get through to God herself, he'd be way more worried about Aziraphale making suggestions to the Almighty

But honestly? Crowley doesnt seem that worried about Aziraphale calling God, just really anxious that it wont work and Aziraphale wont be With Crowley when the world ends and theyll get separated. They know Aziraphale will get through to the Metatron bc God Doesn't Take Questions.

And I think, as anaylzed by ppl better than me, again with the fire, Crowley can't tell if it was Heaven or Hell. Because he Knows 2 things at that point 1) aziraphale tried to ask God a question and 2) Hastur has actively threatened Aziraphale.

And that's the whole you bastards, all of you. Bc it could've been Hastur, but it could've been Metatron.

Speaking as someone who has like 600+ hours in Stardew, it is honestly so refreshing to have something LIKE Stardew that focuses so much more on the characters and their interactions in Fields of Mistria. I LOVE the Stardew characters, but Mistria has kinda blown me away having unique dialogue EVERY FRIDAY whenever I go to the Inn and talk to everyone.

And it's all SO FUCKING CHARMING!! I've only scratched the surface, but goddddd just how everyone talks and interacts is just so sweet and cute. Everyone feels like a big old family!! It honestly inspires me to write SO bad.

Thinking about that small detail in Mortal Coil during the surgery scene when Valkyrie is hallucinating and she sees the reflection wearing the clothes Ghastly made her, but entirely in pink.

It’s such a small detail, but it reveals so much about Valkyrie as a character that I don’t think gets discussed enough in fandom (and isn’t really discussed in text either).

Valkyrie isn’t completely butch, but she is pretty butch, I think we can all agree on that. And it’s shown several times throughout the series that a lot of the mortals around her (sans her parents) don’t really approve of, say, a girl with enough muscle to make full-grown men in her life jealous. There’s very much an aspect of “girls must be pretty and wear makeup and crop tops” vibe we get from her fellow highschoolers, even if we don’t see that much of it. And that might be part of why twelve-year-old Valkyrie wasn’t very connected with her peers. She WASN’T like that and refused to act like she was.

The REFLECTION, on the other hand. The reflection’s entire job was to be a societally acceptable version of Valkyrie, meaning quieter, more agreeable, and probably more fem-presenting. That was who Valkyrie was SUPPOSED to be if only she was normal, and it’s very clear in that moment when she’s strapped to the surgical table that she’s feeling a lot of shame for not being “normal” enough (tying into the Darquesse thing). Even if she rationally knows her parents love her, that shame of not being normal or properly acceptable follows her and manifests as her parents claiming to love the reflection more and the reflection itself appearing as a more fem version of Valkyrie, which is something that would NEVER fly in Val’s line of work.

And I think that part of the reason Valkyrie generally doesn’t like to present more fem is because of her work environment. She is a teenage girl in a place mostly made up of full-grown men, and we can SEE in numerous instances throughout the books that she does get harassed and does get targeted for bullying and misogynistic infantilazation/objectification because she’s female.

And what is perceived as appropriately feminine in her home environment is…inefficient. It’s more likely to slow her down or get her injured and is generally impractical, and so she only does it on extremely rare occasions. Her partner is a guy who’s hundreds of years older than her, incredibly strong, incredibly smart, and INCREDIBLY well-known. This is the guy she gets compared to with pretty much everything she does. The standards are in the goddamn sky, and so she CAN’T afford to present herself or act in any way except for the most efficient way possible.

And all of this, her general dislike of presenting fem, her shame of being Darquesse, the need to be as efficient as possible, culminates in the form of her reflection, dressed all in pink. Ridiculous, inefficient, but more acceptable. More normal. More worthy of her parent’s adoration. It would have been SO easy for Landy to just say that the reflection was wearing Valkyrie’s outfit, but he went out of his way to SPECIFY that said outfit was pink, and it silently gave her so much fascinating characterization.

Ive been seeing a few people say “how is the homeless guy in x musical if ted dies before he can become the time bastard” & idk if people have said this before but I do think there’s a relatively simple canon explanation

Witch in the Web implies the alternate timelines only came into existence as a result of Hannah’s birth, meaning the timelines only deviate at some point after November 29th 2005 (based on what we know about Hannah’s age in Black Friday that’s the earliest possible date for her to be born)

If Ted got trapped in the past on October 17th 2004 like he says, then he would’ve been homeless when the timelines started deviating, so the homeless guy from the TGWDLM timeline & all the other timelines is the Ted from the Time Bastard timeline, not the Ted of that timeline.

Which also explains why even though Ted is presumably alive in the NPMD timeline, Tinky already has him in the Bastards Box.
