Sexiest Old Man Tournament: Quarter Finals!

playing his dress up games

This is from the book, while Crowley is trying to talk Aziraphale into helping him stop armageddon, and does his drunken ramble about eternity. Apparently God enjoys The Sound of Music.

“You’ll enjoy it. You really will. You won’t have a choice.”

I feel like this line gets overlooked a lot. It’s an important line, for sheer horror potential.

Whatever the control mechanism is, clearly it isn’t running on every angel at all times, because if that was the case, a rebellion never would have happened. Aziraphale wouldn’t have six thousand years of doubts piling up to critical capacity. Gabriel wouldn’t have been able to escape.

But it’s also clearly very easily turned on, since they both accept that it would be used for something as petty as enjoying a movie. This lack of will can be rolled over angels at any time, for any reason.

Aziraphale clearly has some dread of this. *Crowley* knows it, and used it to convince Aziraphale to help him stop armageddon. But Aziraphale is very good at letting one part of his brain know something while another part of his brain denies it, so it’s not clear how much *Aziraphale* knows he dreads it, even as that dread shapes his character.

He’s never really broken free of Heaven. Even when he was being called a traitor, he wasn’t fallen, and so he was expecting to be called home eventually. And he’d be happy, of course. He won’t have a choice.

Aziraphale’s been trying to walk away from Heaven for at least six thousand years. He walked away from guard duty. He gave away his sword. He lied straight to God’s face about it. He lied to the archangels, and then straight up told Crowley he was ready to go to Hell. Several millennia of trouble-making and demon-fraternizing later, he stood in the middle of Heaven, declared he wasn’t going to fight in any war, then escaped via the demonic act of human possession. He is ready to GO.

And still his wings are snowy white. He’s just as angelic as when he first worried the pretty starmaker might get in trouble, and tried to protect him with a warning.

But he can’t escape. Heaven isn’t letting anyone else go. And he knows what his future holds. Eventually, no matter how many times they put it off, eventually he will be called back to Heaven.

And so, what promises can he make Crowley?

To stay with him always? Of course not. To love him? Can he even promise to love him? No. He’ll eventually be dragged back to Heaven, and he’ll be happy to go, and he won’t even miss him. *He won’t have a choice.*

And perhaps that’s the problem. He loves Crowley too much to make promises he can’t keep.

More Elias cosplay. Though, this time it's not about the outfit.

I have freaky Bouchard eyes, God given, so, conveniently, I can use them for any Elias fanart I do. If I need a reference for an expression, I just do it myself.

When I did my first art piece, I asked myself "how do I convey this expression on an unsettling, unblinking man?" Then I remembered that 'I' am an unsettling, unblinking man, and my stupid eyes are under utilized.

I'm so glad I've found this!!!! This is just absolutely adorable

anyone please ask your crush out like this

There would be no S3 without Rhianna and Rob ❤

hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

Oh I'm quite excited! I'll guess option 2

I wonder which one will be correct and what everyone else thinks

Although it could be you're being a trickster and messing around with measurements

If that is the case I reserve all rights to call you incorrigible ;)

As for me; I've included an easy round and a more challenging round

Why?

Because it's fun

Round 1

1. I'm farsighted in one eye and nearsighted in the other

2. I was a tomboy as a small child

3. I've never read more than a passage or two from Ovids Metamorphoses ( counting both Translations and original)

Now for the tricky one

Round 2 ( Bonus!)

1. Once, when I was a teenager, my grandparents thought I was suicidal because I was leaning out of a window at 3 in the morning (I was looking at stars in the countryside)

2. I once got a ball launched against my ear so hard I couldn't hear for 20 minutes

3. Once, when I was around the age of 9, I went ice skating with a friend who played ice hockey and when they tried to teach me the basics, I fell and almost dislocated my arm when I landed wrong

(I have since then learned how to actually skate)

Good luck! :D

@s0viet-gamer @evilasiangenius

Two truths and one lie! Tag someone else to play!

1. I have a fake eye

2. I have a calico cat

3. I have killed 47 people!

Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria is such a weird theory because it's like there's a very obvious explanation for why middle school kids who didn't have dysphoria before might suddenly have dysphoria. Like huh weird I wonder what very obvious and widely known change that could cause kids to suddenly become very uncomfortable in their gender or sexual identity starts in between the ages of 10 and 14. Guess we'll never know. Must be peer pressure to *checks notes* become the only gender minority in your whole school singling you out for harassment by your peers. Couldn't be puberty suddenly giving you new body parts/bodily functions that are wrong for you.

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

Oh dear, it seems I have been called out

"cozy game" maybe for YOU. I have spreadsheets
