IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HEALTHY ECOLOGICAL HABITAT IS A COMPLETE ONE, PREDATORS AND ALL.

WHOA.

Who's been saying that for years?! Was it me??

It was me.

Okay. So. You know how some people want to finish exterminating all large predatory mammals so they have less competition for deer and so they don't occasionally lose livestock? And you know how native deer species in North America have been hit increasingly hard with Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in the past couple of decades due to overpopulation thanks to the eradication of large predatory mammals that normally keep them in check?

We already have evidence that reintroducing predatory mammals to their native ranges not only knocks deer populations back to a healthier level, and now we've discovered that apparently the digestive systems of cougars and bobcats are lethal to CWD prions. Prions are among the most difficult pathogens* to eliminate; you have to heat them up to about 1,800 degrees F in order to thoroughly destroy them. And prion diseases like CWD are almost universally fatal.

So to find that these wild cats can safely eat CWD-infected animals AND significantly reduce the chances that the prions will be spread to other deer is a pretty big deal, especially since some other animals like coyotes and crows do pass prions undamaged through their digestive systems. And it's just one more example of why an ecosystem needs all of the species that have evolved in it over thousands of years, not just those are convenient for humans to have around. The spread of CWD is directly related to the overpopulation of deer, and it's likely that continuing to reintroduce large predatory mammals to their native range will help quell this awful prion disease.

Be aware, chances are you ONE HUNDRED PERCENT KNOW an intersex person--whether or not that intersex person knows it or tells you about it. For all the reasons listed here. Also, maybe you're a terfy Republican cunt that transvestigates every woman with a square jaw that comes out of the MacDonald's bathroom so nobody trusts you with that information. So. Y'know. Quit it.

Please understand that the only reason intersex traits are seen as "disordered" is because they aren't as common as 'normal' non-intersex traits. That's literally fucking it.

I swear half of their flirting, at least in the "early days" pre-armageddon was Crowley gesticulating about something in a vaguely aggro, semi-inviting but personal-space-invading way and Aziraphale using the opportunity to pretend the big bad wiley serpent was using their big bad wiley serpent magiks on him, poor wee angel bairn. This served Crowley's purposes, so it never stopped, but there just became less need for the song and dance in S2.

Probably why the sudden space Crowley gives him in the final 10-15, when Aziraphale is RIGHT THERE trying to look directly in his demon's eyes is so heartbreaking.

And why Crowley's sudden return to aggro with the kiss and ALSO overstepping the previous personal space boundaries they'd been gradually breaking down throughout s2 (that LET'S BE HONEST were DEFINITELY also leading to a kiss, but a much more satisfying one) was so shocking--it gave Aziraphale no space to play along and dance *towards* Crowley as he always had before (and had even begun initiating in S2).

Honestly, at the point they were at, pre-Metatron, Aziraphale would probably have been perfectly happy to flirt his way into being "seduced" into Crowley kissing him and would have loved every second of it. Hell, isn't that what he was planning with the ball?

Look back at that first gif in the laudenum scene, but imagine more of an actual pull, and whoops, there we are! Or, more obviously, the wall slam. You look me in the eyes and tell me that wasn't a more than slightly disappointed angel.

All that to say, I am REKT like the rest of y'all and I can't WAIT to see what their REAL kiss is going to be like. What will it echo? Are we getting warm here or are we gonna see some hot hot long-haired Crowley Mesopotamia action that's been hinted at and going to come full circle in some glorious, Metatron-destroying blast of miraculous light?

I'm always up for more of this beautiful dame.

Cheesy, I know, but a lil guy can dream, right?

Crowley appearing to pull Aziraphale closer magically by making as if to pinch the knot of Aziraphale's bowtie while pointing at him in 1827...

...and Crowley pointing at Aziraphale, the bullet in his hand masking that his fingers are pinched at the level of Aziraphale's bow tie and draw back a little, just as they did in 1827...

...and the angel automatically coming closer without a thought, during a moment in which miracles were blocked in 1941.

Y'all, reading that email I didn't even know what the hell was wrong until I re-read my post.

I really need the "I survived the period of time when we didn't know if Good Omens was getting renewed" t-shirt. Because OOMPH.

Just a wee reminder that, as we enter fall, it'll only be three months or so until we start seeing our boys with hair like this...

...and then only a little while longer until we start seeing the odd photo of them like this...

...and I cannot fucking wait.

If we started a crowdfund for the cast and David Jenkins to legit just shoot a third season using a few phones and props already made that they can get their little paws on (legally or nah), and in somebody's backyard but a small part of their house is set up to be Blackbeard's Bar and Grill and Other Delicacies and Delights and Fishing Equipment with like, a play gym version of the Revenge in the backyard that Ed and Stede built together for when they want to sleep in a hammock and hear the night wind and waves.

Roach gets mad excited about the exquisite menu Ed has going on (Ed is all about the food being perfect). Together, they invent "take-away" meals and Blackbeard's Bar and Grill and Other Delicacies and Delights and Fishing Equipment becomes all the rage, even amongst the fops. They're allowed in, but have to take off their wigs and makeup at the door.

Because, you see, the actual Revenge comes back to visit for repairs.

Lucius freaks out about the mosquitoes. I don't know, it just happens.

Frenchie plays music for the patrons every Friday and Tuesday night (also for the tips, which he distributes among the rest of the crew who are dressed exactly as you imagine they would be as they serve tables, clean, and do whatever else is needed.)

Stede is the greeter and delights in welcoming each new patron to Blackbeard's Bar and Grill and Other Delicacies and Delights and Fishing Equipment. He also enjoys polishing the silver and making sure every knick knack Ed has chosen is arranged decoratively. They have even started their own nose jar.

Wee John, is, ofc, the sommelier.

Jim is the bouncer.

Oluwande assists with financial matters.

And... I dunno, I can't do ALL the work.

C'mon. This show changed the lives of so many people. Please. We need it.

When will my husband (hit show Our Flag Means Death) come back from the war (the unfair and homophobic cancellation by WBD)?

A study in privilege.

Gabriel and Beelzebub drive me up the wall. Not because I ship them – honestly, I couldn't care less about that – but their dynamic is something else. In what, five years? They've crossed lines Aziraphale and Crowley never could. They just held hands and tossed aside Heaven and Hell like yesterday's news, all because the other meant more than some grand celestial plan.

It could've been Aziraphale and Crowley. It almost should've been. For eons, they've danced around something ineffable, something that binds them closer than any other in existence. They've been each other's constant on this wild, lonely Earth since the dawn of time. Without the other, the emptiness would be unbearable.

Then, one day, it hit them. Hard. They're scared now, scared because they finally recognize it, this thing they've been circling. They want to protect it, to protect each other. That's why Aziraphale floats off to Heaven and Crowley pleads for him to stay – because they love each other in ways that defy explanation.

And then, just like that, they watch two beings, angel and demon, just like them, cross a line they never could. They say the words, they hold each other close, in front of Heaven, in front of Hell, in front of everyone. And oh, Crowley and Aziraphale want it too. They're striving for it, in their own way, because what they have is more than love; it's something so profound, so intertwined, that there are no words to really name it. It's simply theirs.

I don't know if there can be too much of a good thing except insofar as Twelve is willing to do insane things to

|| keep Clara alive in her final moment even though she chose to accept her death. She's pretty mad at him about it, but does then take the opportunity to travel "the long way round" back to the moment of her death to make things right because she's badass like that, but also isn't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth. ||

I adore Twelveclara. I think they're a wonderful pair. What really gets me is that Clara, of all the companions, holds her own the best against the Doctor. I think that may be partially a result of how breakable Twelve actually is and how much he relies on her. But she's the one who sees past his bullshit and anger and doesn't let him get away with it.

Their chemistry is off the charts, and maybe THAT'S what's too much of a good thing, I don't know.

I definitely read romance as well as friendship in their relationship many many times. But it always seemed a bit ethereal or asexual, so to speak. Perhaps that's why it never seemed creepy or out of place given their age difference.

(Yes, I know the doctor is almost always so much older than his companions, but VISUALLY to wear the age is new to the reboot and quite interesting. Twelve is hot as fuck, though, don't get me wrong).

Whatever. This was just a spew of thoughts. I love Capaldi's doctor and I love Clara and I could have watched them for many more seasons, even though 13 was a delight to discover, as well.

Had someone say Twelveclara wasn't a good fit as a TARDIS team and I started vibrating intensely cause the problem with them was actually the opposite.

Theyre *too* similar they get along *too* well they are mirror images they know each other in ways no one else does because they are so similar that it hurts, that they cut each other with the same sharp edges, that they can't accept anyone else because they know they deserve each other and are the only ones who can truly match each other and understand each other on the level that they think they want.

It's too much of a good thing.
