I love the black nail polish but let’s expand our color variety for Crowley pls

[owl68]

prehistoric planet mononykus! except there's like zero info out there on whether the wrist articulates and why does everyone only draw him with secondaries. if he has bird hands shouldn't it be bent like a bird even if it's used for burrowing....idk............

i know primaries feathers are logically more splayed out at that wrist angle but i added primaries anyway. because bird drawing habits die hard. ok thanks for coming to my ted talk if any Cool Paleontologist can provide fun facts that'd be epic

SO TRUEEE

I love the trope of the dressed in red, blonde over-powered bimbo princess with too much optimism and her unsure yet scary violent, Hispanic gf with a weird eye design and a tragic backstory

[owl68]

Who was your first animated crush?

Definitely Catra for me.

We stan

I usually don’t draw (and for good reason, as you can see lol), but I was reading @ioniiaa ’s My Darling, My Honey and felt inspired to make a quick sketch after seeing a few others also post their art of this scene.

I decided to make the Y/N character a black widow sinner since those spiders sometimes kill their mates (just like she killed her husband), so I thought it was fitting.

Haven’t drawn in a while, so please excuse the crudeness of this sketch c:

[owl68]

Do you ever think about how spiders are named arachnids because of the story of Arachne and Athena and how Athena’s companion was an owl and how that’s why the little owl’s scientific name is Athene Noctua and how cool owls are

[owl68]

I found it! Although I think that it’s just an animation things to make the mouth movements seem more realistic/fluid and not something to look too much into, it’s definitely a super cool frame!

The closest we’ve gotten to seeing Alastor without his smile. Look at that shadow.

“Great Alastor Altruist died for his friends”

This is such a rich line, it’s making me sick. But I hate that I can’t tell what it means.

Option a) Alastor is in disbelief that he actually almost sacrificed himself for the hotel, for Charlie and the others. He’s in disbelief with himself that he actually cares. Alastor has always put himself first, and this conflicts so greatly with what he just put himself through. He’s panicked because he doesn’t even know who he is anymore, and now he’s craving to be “free”, free to not have to care about anyone because he’s the one that controls everything anyway.

Option b) Alastor is basically envisioning his own eulogy, and it scares him, he refuses to accept that his death is actually a possibility. But now he has to accept it, because it almost had it. Alstor is scared, and he hates it, he doesn’t want to have to be scared anymore. He wants to, no, he needs to have full control.

Option c) Bro is genuinely just in shock that he’s not invincible. He wasn’t even in denial, he just straight up never considered his death as a possibility before this

[owl68]

He looks so distressed, so human

Husk/Al and Angel/Val Comparison

Both Husker and Angel Dust are living in the same shit sandwich, but how are their situations different?

The chains

Whenever the chain that Val has on Angel is depicted, it’s always short and misty. It’s usually around Angel’s hand

Al’s chain on Husk is long, clear, and around Husker’s neck

Woah, definite contrast.

Chain length:

Husk’s chain is long, showing that he can usually do as he pleases. Alastor only occasionally needs Husk, but in general, Husk can be independent. In addition, Al usually lets a lot slide with Husk in terms of sass, sarcasm, and attitude.

Angel’s chain is short and easily tugged upon by Valentino. Angel has a nearly 24/7 obligation to Val and to his job. Angel can’t really step even slightly out of line, except for outside of work (but even then, the very next day Val will punish Angel at work).

Chain opaqueness:

Defined and structured, Husk’s leash-like chain is impossible to break out of. Interestingly, this also suggests that the deal/contract Alastor crafted was much more loophole-proof and solid than Val’s. Husk’s entrapment is physical and undeniable.

Angel’s misty chain has more flexibility to it, and we even occasionally see Angel try to tug himself out of it. Although it’s definitely there (as Val often likes to remind Angel of), it’s more so symbolic, as above all, Val has emotional control over Angel.

Chain placement:

Husk’s chain is around his neck, like a collar of ownership. Ownership not only of his body, but of his soul. This points back to the fact that Husk literally traded his soul to Alastor. However, it’s also a bit easier to forget about the collar-like placement, especially if he’s grown used to it, that is at least until it’s tugged upon.

The placement of Angel’s chain being around his hand provides a much higher emphasis on Angel’s body, as that is what Val “owns”. The chain is always there (whether physically or metaphorically), right in front of Angel, and he can’t ignore it.

Bonus:

Angel’s chain is red/pink, symbolizing emotions and (to an extent forced) lust. Whereas Husk’s is green, symbolizing the greed that drove Husk to trade his soul in the first place.

I so want to see Crowley as Duke of Hell

It won’t happen, but what if? His look would be so cool. Scales going up his neck, a ruffled hair, a snake ring, AH! Fanarts keep me living

[owl68]

Literally this

It kills me how Aziraphale went from "God forgive you" during Job when their relationship was newer...

To realizing that his own forgiveness would mean more to Crowley than God's ever would.

Only to weaponize it later.

[owl68]

Aziraphale better be willing to do anything for Crowley in S3, because that’s the way that Crowley is to Aziraphale.

Think of “something” while Satan himself is rising up? Done. Let Zira drive the Bentley? Sure.

But when it comes to Aziraphale, there’s always this manipulative superiority. Remember how much convincing it took for Zira to be persuaded into stopping Armageddon with Crowley? And even then, it was only under the disguise of thwarting his wiles.

All in all, I adore the ineffable husbands, but Aziraphale really has to buck up!!

[owl68]

I just realized that S3 will likely start will Crowley’s fall. I’ll be inconsolable 😭

[owl68]

Just finished my GOmens rewatch. That ending struck even harder the second time

[owl68]

I think it’s more so a spin on the title of Archangel.

Just like if you were insulting a president of a corporation, you might say CEO of Greed instead of CEO of ___

Shax calls Crowley an “arch traitor”… hmmm, wonder what that means
