Yaz: Why does cutting an apple into slices taste much better than just biting into it? I dont get it, it's the same thing? It's apple? Weller: Probably something to do with chemical reactions and how oxygen interacts with the meat of the apple. Yaz: I don’t like that you called it meat.

Favorite Meta Thread Quotes Part 1 - and a small announcement

Once again I am in disbelief: I had asked whether a running list of favorite meta thread quotes would be of interest when celebrating the 200 follower mark, and then I did not get to it until now, and somehow the library is at 400 followers.

Wow. Just wow. Thank you so, so much for your interest! I am so grateful!!

But this makes the small announcement particularly unpleasant: due to life circumstances I will not be able to spend as much time online, including curating, and will not be able to post quite as frequently as before. In fact, posting frequency has already been down for a bit. This is not to say I’m going to stop posting - this blog is my guilty pleasure, after all. But it will not be as often as I wish it to be. I apologize, but it is what it is.

Moving on to the main topic - favorite quotes! These were collected Highly subjectively and Very sporadically, so this list is just a bit of frivolous fun. It is a mix of meta statements that felt outstanding to me in some way, and replies that were not really meta, just.. Special. 

In no particular order:

@liquidlyrium​ here: *slaps trunk* this angel can fit so much self-loathing in him!

@eh-fandomtrash​ here: As someone who spent several years waking up every weekday and spending at least an hour between 6 and 8 am in traffic I can say Crowley is evil.

@charlottemadison42​ here: Thwart me, angel. Thwart me so good. That’s right. 

@anotherhappydinosaur​ here: The absolute worst sin is believing that one’s evil is beyond God’s forgiveness.

… Believing that your evil cannot be forgiven is not believing in what God is.

Love must be freely chosen. It cannot be coerced. And so the only thing stopping someone from existing in that love is choosing to be separate from it.

Crowley didn’t fall because of questions or hanging out with the wrong people. God didn’t smite him and send him to the pits of the underworld because Crowley was unsure about the divine plan. He fell because HE believed he was unforgivable.

@kontrollcsoport​ here: Well, Aziraphale is a direct subordinant to the Archangel Gabriel, which means, he is on the second row in the Angels’ Choir.

In terms of the Planescape Monstrous Compendium, the most powerful angel (aasimon, as they call them) is the solar, the next is the Planetar - this is our friend. Planetar aasimons have a 19 str, which means (quickly, where’s my phb)  that he can carry 485 lbs. and press a maximum of 640 lbs. thats roughly 300 kg. So lifting 185 pounds is hardly a challenge for him.

(Note from the library: to fully appreciate the above quote, one needs to look up Planetar aasimons. Which I did. I present to you the DnD version of Aziraphale:

@ticketybooyah​ here: Crowley was damned by his choices so choice became his weapon

@acrownforaking​ here: Agnes Nutter writes: and thenn the foolifh principalitee will go abfolutelee ferral on maine

@guardian-of-soho​ here: To Crowley and only Crowley, he’s not a pawn, he’s irreplaceable.

@aethelflaedladyofmercia​ here: A: Not certain. Never done this before. Can you hear me? [Hello? Is this thing on? *taps universe*]

@crazyneutral​ here: To me at least, one part of why Crowley wants to save the world is because of how bad people are. He loves the human capacity for evil, he loves the complexity and contradiction that is essential to humanity because dammit, it’s just more *interesting*! Hell is as boring as Heaven and it is not enough for him.

@triciaastra​ here: #azi is so strong that he doesn't need his angel worth to lift mijolnir #he's just lift thor and swing him around

@racketghost​ here: Aziraphale gets a lot of flack for being a dumbass or naive but in my opinion that’s all a front. It’s show. Because he can’t stand who he is under the propriety, under the bow ties and the decorum: a bad angel.

So yeah, in his head it would be a frivolous miracle to save himself a beheading. Because he believes himself to be unworthy of saving.

@pisces-atd​ comment in response to this thread: also worth mentioning that god, in this situation, is about as chaotic as a 13 year old angsty fanfic writer

Hope you enjoyed this! (especially the Planetar. I cannot get over that image..)
