#when the two collide

[real-steven]

Daniel, beloved, come see this. I have recently acquired a new game on this iPad of mine, and I've already made much progress on my farm. See my fields of wheat and melons and corn; I even have chickens from which I might collect eggs to make mayonnaise. My love, you must download Stardew Valley on your laptop so that we may cooperate on our own farm. Why? Well, I must have a partner to accompany me, and while the list of bachelors are fine indeed, none of them match your charisma.

FINALLY

I can share the GO fic that goes with this gorgeous cover art by @ufofrommarss! It's a human AU merging the worlds of the Addams Family and Good Omens, made for the @do-it-with-style-events Silver Screen Bang! I am EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT IT, and if you are also EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT IT leave a comment on AO3 and I will reward you with a random idea that didn't make it into the fic (because of internal consistency, pacing, vibes, and/or all that).

Fic is here: The Crowley Family Values, T-rated, 11k words, releasing 1 chapter per day.

Yes there will be a cat book and Aziraphale reacts exactly as one would imagine.

popping in randomly after almost an entire month just to talk non stop about the tsaritsa again everyone sit down.

specifically just thinking about the implications of tsaritsa's ideals originally being about love + the abandonment of those ideals to complete her goal of, presumably, destroying Celestia or whatever she's cooking up. to the point even her people don't love her and I probably don't even remember a time her ideals were of love. now it's all just ice and snow and cold.

which makes romantic fics w her even funnier because she's purposely removed this part of herself and suddenly reader walks into teyvat like they own the place (they do) and I can only imagine her reaction. angry, probably. because why you? what are you doing to her that's caused her hundreds of years of strict adherence to rejecting "love" both from others and to others to just. collapse. absolute shattering of her world and you probably don't even know it bc if nothing else she's good at hiding it. a lot of denial. tries to pick you apart and see what's makes you so different.

and oh she just hates it. she loathes it.

basically one sided enemies to lover trope because she can't stand you for a while but if you stick around she starts warming up to you and it makes it WORSE. so much worse. tries to distance herself but your just everywhere and it gets on her nerves because why does she love you? she isn't capable of love, not anymore. she thought she was.

g-d forbid one of the harbingers or PIERRO notices she'd never live it down. might even consider the implications of just killing you (she doesnt). worse if you know about it and act like a brat she will lose her damn mind

just the tsaritsa being an absolutely horrible mess internally.

FF6 Artober Day 19: Hope

We all know the scene where Celes finds the bird on the beach, it is carrying Locke’s bandana. But how did the bandana get ON the bird? I like to think that Locke found it, saw it’s wing was injured, healed it with magic, then wrapped his bandana around its wing to set it in place.

It’s already canon that Locke is kind to animals. After the disaster at Thamasa with Kefka, when the squad is gathered around Leo’s grave, Interceptor walks in and is limping. Locke kneels next to him then says “this’ll have to do”, implying that he bandaged him up.

So now it’s the World of Ruin and everyone everywhere is suffering, and one little bird is lying broken on a street corner and no one cares. He’s all puffed up and looking for a quiet place to die. But Locke cares. He takes the time and effort to nurse Bird back to health, even using his bandana to keep that wing steady. And that little act of kindness creates a domino effect— it is what leads Celes to believe that Locke is still alive, and maybe others too, and maybe hope is not lost after all.

Moral of the story! Be kind to birds!

(Unrelated but this exact thing happened to me and my husband, we found an injured bird etc, and now that bird is our sigil, very special deep meaning)

"Just watching Tom Cruise doing his own stunts was really and truly amazing, watching him fly up over that car, where he gets tased in midair and then comes down. At one point, he’s on the ground, and that’s where we’re gonna arrest him. So J.J. [Abrams] says, “Okay, you,” pointing to me. “After we tase him, you cuff him.” And the technical advisor comes over, and he says, “Okay, here’s what you do. You’re gonna put your knee in the small of his back and pull his arms around.” I said, “Uh, yeah, no, I’m not.” Because just before that, J.J. had said, “Don’t. Hurt. Tom. Cruise.” “Okay, good note.” [Laughs.] Which I understand. They don’t want some day player hurting their multi-million dollar franchise man. That’s all they were talking about. But I knew from Psych that cuffing someone is actually really difficult to do unless you do it every day. And it hurts! So I said, “Hey, Tom, I’m Tim, I’m gonna be cuffing you. Yeah, I’m gonna put a little pressure on your back, but I don’t wanna go too hard, so let me know I’m going too hard.” He said, “Yeah, I will, don’t worry!”

At one point, I was chasing Tom, and he looked and me and said, “Try to keep up!” And sure enough, I could not. I think for that entire movie he just runs. He’s a very fast man. I was not. [Laughs.] By the end of filming, I could barely walk, I was so sore!"

JOAN OF ARC + SAM WINCHESTER: POSTMODERN MARTYRS

Luc Besson, Joan of Arc (1999) | Panthéon, "Jeanne d'Arc ayant la vision de l'archange Michel" | 1.14, "Nightmare" | Anne Llewellyn Barstow, "Joan of Arc: Heretic, Mystic, Shaman" | Susan Visvanathan, "Representing Joan of Arc" | 2.13, "Houses of the Holy" | Robert Bresson, The Trial of Joan of Arc (1962) | John Everett Millais, "Joan of Arc" (1865) | 11.02, "Form and Void" | 1.11, "Scarecrow" |

This is incredibly self-indulgent, but there's an interesting comparison to be made here I think, between Joan as a cultural symbol and Sam as a variant on her. like her - his character also consists of ambiguities. He is both hero and monster/witch, saviour and pariah, transgressive while still fitting into the traditional mold of heroism. And because of their ambiguities, they're also both outsiders.

Joan is isolated because of her steadfast faith, and she's punished for it. She saves France as a young girl in men's clothes, hearing the voices of angels, and gets put on trial as a heretic by the very same Church that would later burn her at the stake. The very same institution to later saint her. Only in death does she get to become a holy martyr, no longer ambiguous. She is the hero with a thousand faces; Catholic saint, patriotic icon, queer symbol.

Unlike Joan, however, Sam's narrative is a horror story on failed martyrdom. He is the saint who never gets to die. His sacrifices never end in closure, not really. he's either stopped at the last moment, or retrieved from the depths of hell. He's denied the certainty that comes with dying, the nobility that comes with becoming immortalised as a memory. His faults are laid out on the altar, time and again, but he's not granted the crowning reprieve that death would afford him.

He holds onto hope and belief in others, clings onto faith in a higher power, whether that power be God or his family - his brother. He keeps faith in others in order to keep faith in himself. And he's let down over and over by that faith. His brother betrays him like a man; his visions come from a demon, the voice of God is really Lucifer in his ear. His own story turns on him like a pillory, trapping him before a jeering audience, unsympathetic to his suffering.

Sam, the heart of it all, more scapegoat than sacrificial lamb. In the end he only gets to exit the story by choosing to trust himself, and live.

Finished fic alert!

The Crowley Family Values

Here's 11k T-rated words of spooky!Crowley and his favorite angel in an Addams Family/Good Omens AU crossover created for the DIWS Silver Screen Bang! Crowley is Morticia's cousin visiting from London. Aziraphale is the new lawyer at Tully Alford's practice.

This gorgeous poster is from @ufofrommarss !

Excerpt:

“Come and see,” Morticia whispered, her eyes closed, her long nails grazing the smooth glass ball. The shapes in the crystal came alive.

“An angel, wielding a flaming sword.”

“He will be coming for you, Crowley.”

“Beware, a swift strike through the heart.”

Crowley squirmed in his chair. That didn’t sound good. There was not much in his line of work and general life that would meet with the approval of a holy entity. Was he about to get smitted? Smote?

Morticia suddenly opened her eyes and stared right into his soul.

“Smitten.”

Someone needs to make a poolervine edit to hold me like a grudge by fall out boy OR write a poolervine fanfic with the title "part time soul mates, full time problem"

[jesuistrestriste]

me art and leon would be the most wack threesome but i have a feeling it would somehow work

yea bc i feel like they’d both be SUPER eager to kiss and touch and please you, but the minute you try to direct their focus to each other they just look awkward and nervous. they’re staring at each other and trying to figure out which one of them is supposed to initiate contact. they wanted u to do all of the directing. they didn’t want to be given creative freedom !

both of them would lean in too fast toward the other and then bonk heads
