#theyre PROFOUND

[corancoranthemagicalman]

No for sure!! They're such integral parts of one another!!

I think the other beautiful thing is that their story is so clearly a love story. Just when we think that they've only had each other since their time on Earth, we learn that they've in some way always had each other.

They're so intertwined with one another that even their existence as, essentially, different people are so defined in a SHARED MOMENT. And, God, isn't that profound? To SHARE moments like that?

Let's talk about the Job Minisode just a smidge. They're both clearly having two separate moments, and it's at different points in even their relationship with one another (Crowley goes too fast; Aziraphale is trying to lie to HIMSELF and to Heaven. Having moments while they're both on two different pages is their modus operandi—), and yet still. YET STILL. It's a moment TOGETHER. And that is ALL OF THEIR MOMENTS.

They're on two different sides of the tracks! They're not even in the same car! They're sharing a bus bench!!! They're holding hands to save the world and in the after! They're TOGETHERNESS is so fucking profound that it's beyond words.

And that's what it is, to me. That they are so together. So intertwined. That I couldn't think of Aziraphale without thinking of Crowley. Or think of Crowley without thinking of Aziraphale.

it's so fucking insane to me that it's impossible to discuss crowley without also discussing aziraphale and vice versa. their existences are so intertwined that you literally cannot separate them because so many things that defined and shaped them have included each other. that's at least part of why i feel so much about them.

like have you considered they've had nothing and everything but each other for 6000 years? they've only had each other, they're constants in each other's lives, and at the same time they have been able to indulge in music and sleep and food but not each other because it's too dangerous. they are all each other has and they can't have each other.

they rely on each other to a degree that's definitely incomprehensible to the human mind but at the same time, they can't rely on each other because if they get caught it's curtains for both of them. have you considered they live and breathe for each other, that they're absolutely essential to one another? just. fuck, man.

i had too much coffee. thought too hard. i rambled in my notion about old men yaoi. here you go.

It doesn’t happen. Realistically, I don’t think it would ever happen because nothing happens. But somewhere, two people, wrecked with grief over losing someone so close to them both, in between working on the portal, in between conversations through cold meals and bitter coffee, they find a connection.

Fidds appreciates the brash personality and effort Stan is exerting for this project. He used to think, God, he’s just like his brother, so hard working, so passionate but with Stan, it seemed like he was always grasping for what he wanted. With Ford, it came so easy to him. He burned bright and constant and Stan was more like — a fire you couldn’t seem to start yet. Sputtering out, messy, but ever persistent.

Stan, well, he appreciates the company Fidds provides, that is, when the man isn’t a trembling mess. They have a routine together and that is enough to at least ground Stan into some form of normalcy while he’s trying to learn shit way beyond his educational level.

There are times where Fidds reaches for the memory gun. He can never find it in himself to shoot. There’s too much on the line. He’s already come this far, he’s helping Stan, Stan needs him and well — isn’t it nice to be needed.

There’s something and they can’t quite place it. Fidds knows he’s projecting — but is he? Is appearance alone enough to make him want Stan like he wanted Ford? And Stan is straight up just repressing the hell out of whatever he’s feeling. He knows that Fidds sees Ford whenever he looks at him. Stan tries not to make eye contact so much when he notices. There is a ghost haunting them, there is a grief so heavy in their hearts, and exploring these feelings feels almost like a betrayalto Ford’s name.

It doesn’t feel right. This isn’t the right time.

They will have to make do with lingering stares and accidental touches and continue on working.

fall out boy is like listen nothing we do matters and life is a painful climb that never really gets better so maybe you should put on a chicken suit and cluck cluck on live tv with your best friends about it because we might as well have some fun while we're here and i respect that so hard and i am being one hundred percent serious

[darlinguistics]

a mindset that helped me a quite a bit in the past and still presently whenever studying a language gets really difficult or overwhelming or you feel like you are making no progress/not retaining anything or that its all pointless is that 1, there is literally nothing wrong with slowly learning a language. and more importantly, 2, sometimes shit needs time to sink in! i remember finishing korean 101 feeling genuinely like i had learned basically nothing and still struggled with the most easy concepts but! when 102 came along suddenly focusing on new material made me realize that the old stuff became intuitive! and that same pattern happens over and over, where a concept seems so awkward and complicated and impossible to grasp and then a few months later while focusing on an entirely different concept i realize the old confusing things are somehow now the 'easy' part that comes naturally! so i guess basically what im saying is i learned to MOVE ON! let yourself zoom out from this one little piece of the language and see the pieces surrounding it and overlapping with it! if a lesson was hard, good! it should have been! you probably wont feel confident in it during or even right after! but the work and energy you put into it isnt a waste just cuz it doesnt immediately pay off, sometimes you have to look away and just move on and trust that the knowledge will settle itself comfortably into your brain while you work on other things, especially if you keep reinforcing it here and there. consistent work will never be a waste even if you dont get immediate payoff. and one day youll wonder when the hell you got so quick at reading or when you memorized a rule or when you learned something you literally were never taught but just observed with your own intuition. so much of language learning is trusting yourself, and trusting this invisible force and process of learning thats bigger than you. it isnt all up to conscious studying and conscious effort and learning, you also need to give yourself time to unconsciously internalize things. and that takes much much longer than a week-long grammar lesson!!

fuck you *foils your c!clingy and c!emerald*

ouf if I hadn’t just finally swapped my phone over cuz I’d accidentally obliterated the back from dropping it so much oops you’d be tempting me so bad. I used to be happy w mine ! but the enshittification from ios itself has been insaneeeee lately :(( thanks bittsy 🩷🩷

I miss being younger and believing the queer community was actually a safe space

[slutdge]

[panicbones]

The thing that makes me mad about finding cool quotes/references to use as titles or some such for stories is they're basically impossible to consciously look for. Sure you can just Google "cool quotes" or something but it's just gonna return stuff that everyone knows. By nature the coolest quotes always come from things that you read/watch/listen to and are drawn towards, maybe not even realizing why you're drawn to them. You can't "look for" cool quotes because by nature the coolest quotes are the ones that are cool to you personally. So ultimately the only reliable way to find profound phrases/references is to consume a lot of art and find the things that are meaningful through sheerly opening your mind and trying new things

I've been feeling better since actively ignoring people on the internet tbh

have been listening to a readthrough of homestuck for a few days now and i still have no clue whats going on

[kozzax]

hi i’m curious you reblogged my post with “shadubs” and i’m super curious about a) what that ship is (lizzie x bdubs?) and b) your thoughts about it bc i love rarepairs!!! :0

-gr1an

Oh yeah it's. The thing about shadubs is. Waurrruugugghhh

Ok so shadubs IS lizzie x bdubs and actually if you want a lot of information about it I recommend asking @captainschaos --it's ver brainchild even though I technically was the one who was making the inciting joke.

Originally the joke that sil made was that bdubs and joel were destined metamours-- talking, at the time, about etho. I took this and went yeah so this implies that there's something going on between bdubs and lizzie which, yeah, that makes sense.

They garden together. They're sweet together and gentle and they bond over ribbing at Joel and riffing off of each other and. Their relationship is quiet and understated but it's so full of this profound mundane sort of love. Whether it's romantic or not isn't important, what's important is that they tend to the garden like clockwork and they sit together for tea parties and they gossip with each other.

Where like... ethubs is grand gestures of loyalty, right. Ethubs is tragic and doomed and grand and in love. Bdubs will wax poetic about etho at the drop of a hat, even if he'll later undercut it with a joke. Etho will create something incredible for Bdubs just to make him smile. They love each other in these big overarching bold ways.

To me, shadubs is nothing like that. If they didn't tell you they were in some kind of relationship, you probably wouldn't even notice. Shadubs is the little things. Lizzie picks up a new packet of seeds when she's at the store because those flowers would look lovely growing in Bdubs' cloak. Bdubs making two cups of coffee in the morning, one for him and one for Lizzie at just the right time for it to be warm when she joins him in the kitchen. Quietly and unobtrusively holding hands in the solace of their home.

And don't get me wrong-- they're both meangirls sometimes. They bitch about whatever's annoying them while they garden. Teatime is a time for gossip about their friends and other partners. Playing up their annoyances and yes anding each other is part of how they work. But at the core it's this soft tender quiet relationship that's just... so incredibly mundane in the best of ways.

some of u aren't appreciating how genuinely paranoid the bats are ya know?

like they're so paranoid that it makes them genuinely unpleasant to be around, so paranoid that there is a small coalition of psychologists trying to name a DSM entry after them

like far be it from me to say "they would not fucking say that" to y'all but they would Not fucking volunteer that information.... Ever

[mainfaggot]
