i was curious about how the game rendered the approaching army during the attack on haven, since they're so far away you never get a particularly good look at them. turns out they're (extremely wiggly!) flat pngs with little fires attached to simulate torches. i was honestly impressed by the level of detail in the shapes, since there's no way you'd see anything as small as their helmets or swords during normal gameplay

The best part about this idea is that it opens up the possibility that Crowley is constantly trying to undermine his accomplishments when talking to Aziraphale. Later in this cold open he denies any involvement with La Révolution & expresses revulsion at the humans' Big, Efficient Head-Cutting Machine. In episode 2, Aziraphale points out that Crowley took the credit for the Spanish Inquisition and World War II (WWI gets much less air time in fiction, probably because no Nazis were involved & it's harder to romanticize with all the chemical weapons disintegrating people's lungs, but that's a totally different story for another day), which Crowley AGAIN dismisses, AGAIN blaming it on humans starting it before he had a chance.

But from go, Crowley's never been a particularly hands-on type with his demonic influences. He's the sort who'd just ask, hey, why would anything go wrong if you ate one of those apples? Later in the ep 3 cold open he tells Aziraphale he met Jesus and "showed him all the kingdoms of the world." In this show's canon, Crowley was responsible for at least one of the Three Temptations of Christ--an act typically ascribed to Satan himself. He blows off his actual attempt to make Jesus Christ, the possible Son of God, into a megalomaniacal Tyrant For The Lord, with "He's a carpenter from Galilee, his travel options are limited."

Show!Crowley fell for asking questions, and I feel like that's his MO for temptations. Book!Crowley has a certain amount of this--creating minor inconveniences or putting little ideas in the back of someone's head so that everyone involved goes out, has a bad day, and takes it out on everyone around them in little ways "they think up themselves"--but strikes me more as a guy doing party drugs with Hironimous Bosch and napping through the nineteenth century for a lark. Show!Crowley keeps ostensibly doing very little and saying he keeps getting commendations from Head Office because nobody follows up on the lies he puts in his memos to Head Office; meanwhile at least two people who work in Head Office say on-screen that they don't trust Crowley, sooooo...why would anyone there trust his memos? And not follow up? If he wasn't actually acco.plishing anything, I feel like an audit would have revealed that, and I feel like Hell would love audits.

tl;dr I think Crowley's actually up to more than he ever lets on, even (especially?) to Aziraphale.

I just love how with two simple words, we’re told that Crowley 100% already knows what’s going on with the Ark, he just played dumb to have an excuse to talk to Aziraphale.

He should not know the name of Noah’s son if he hasn’t a clue what’s going on here, but he does know the name of Noah’s son, which mean he’s a Lying Liar Who Lies.

Like, I’ve seen some posts that talk about how Crowley let the kids braid his hair and such, and I just imagine him hanging out with Noah and his sons for a while, befriending the kids

Definitely Not Helping, because he’s a demon, after all. I mean, if you think about the story of Noah and then try to figure out what Crowley is doing there, his job there is officially probably to stop everyone from believing Noah and his family, but he doesn’t really have to lift a finger for that. His first experience with humans doing his work for him, really.

And as the time of the storm approaches, Noah loading animals into the ark, Crowley supervising, he sees a figure in white and then immediately says to himself, “right, time to act dumb so that the pretty angel will talk to me again.”

I mean, look at the way he’s looking at Aziraphale. That is the face of a demon thinking, “Gosh, you’re cute. Let’s find a tent and make-out like the world’s about to flood.”

You should also, Definitely For Science, see Crowley’s expression when Aziraphale starts to explain the Ark to him.

“Ah, yes, I definitely, 100% know nothing about this. First I’m hearing of it, honestly!”

Crowley, you’re a dumbass, and I love you.

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.

solas stans are so crazy to me. the man shows up in ur life, uses you as a tool in his plot to execute a plan that — by his own admission! — will result in the vast majority of living beings and entire RACES of people dead, MAYBE comes to respect you but not enough to back out of or reconsider the genocide plans, perhaps DATES YOU under these false pretenses, then abandons you entirely

he thinks people like dwarves and qunari and hell anyone who isnt an elf mage are not people. he calls all qunari savages not based on their religion or culture but their phrenology. he rejects the entire idea of growth or change

like i LIKE solas hes a really cool character i cant wait to see what happens with him i think solavellan shippers are awesome etc etc. but TO PRETEND HE IS SOME NOBLE HERO WHO'S NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG and no one is allowed to dislike him or talk about him as an antagonist is DERANGED. YOU ARE DERANGED !!!

Sometimes reading my own posts is like "what the fuck was I thinking when I wrote this" and other times it's like "hmm...does he know what he was cooking..."

Sometimes I'll feel this way about a post I made yesterday.
