FOR THE RECORD: This Blog Is a Respectful Place, and Respect Is a Two-Way Street, so Disrespect Will NOT Be Tolerated Here.

I wish none of this needed to be said. My heart is heavy, and I apologize in advance for the little bit of venting here, but in light of some disrespect and negativity I recently, unfortunately, received because someone disagreed with some of my inconsequential opinions about fictional media, I did want to make just a couple of things clear about this blog. I’ve put them under the cut, so I don’t clog up the feed.

I feel like this shouldn't need to be said, but this blog is a respectful place. It is okay if we disagree, but only if we treat each other's opinions with courtesy, sympathy, and respect.

I try to keep things very positive here, and I really try my absolute best to be kind and respectful to everyone and give the benefit of the doubt. In the occasions that I am critical of an element of a fictional media (i.e. a character, relationship, or plot point), I try my best to keep my critiques constructive. If I have failed at this point, I am genuinely sorry. My intention is never to hurt anyone.

I am here to have fun and discuss media that I am passionate about, and having heated arguments on the internet is not fun for me. While I am open to respectfully and constructively discussing differences in interpretations or opinions, I will not tolerate being harassed or disrespected because I don't agree, especially over something so unimportant in the grand scheme of life as a fictional character, relationship, or story.

If an argument gets too heated and/or disrespectful or is clearly nothing more just picking a fight, I will politely ask that we just agree to disagree and drop the topic. If that is outside of someone's capabilities, they will be blocked. Thank you.

To end on a more positive note, I do want to thank everyone who is kind, respectful, and supportive even if we have differing opinions. This blog exists because I love getting to interact with you. ❤️

Honestly, I am so sad and exhausted right now, and I think I might need a break from the internet. If I have genuinely hurt someone, I am sorry, but I'm not changing or wasting my time and energy trying to justify my opinions about a fictional character, especially not for someone who can't respect my right to have my own, different interpretation in the first place. It’s a fictional character for goodness sakes! It’s just not that important. Live and let live, friends.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Why?

[corelliaxdreaming]

Let me get this straight. So LGBTQIA+ wiki left Fandom because of Fandom's stupid thing where they deleted most of the pages. And now suddenly LGBTQIA+ wiki is reinventing itself with a new new Wiki that only includes things with sources and without "misinformation"? One that has eighty goddman pages? Let's not talk about how many aspec pages have always had "unsourced, possibly misinformation" banners on them even though they linked directly to coining posts and were widely used terms and therefore aren't allowed to exist on this wiki now apparently.

This makes me so sad and also I'm trying to remember if any of the Discworld books dealt with late stage capitalism

With uh... recent disappointing news. Here's your Korean Dad with some good advice. I think most of this applies even when the person was simply accused.

She’s brown and a democrat, gotta get that birth certificate, that we’ll call fake news anyway. Apparently, if you can’t win in a fight, you gotta at least try to get your opponent disqualified.

Sad and weird.

The #RedditBlackout hashtag started trending on Twitter after the blackout began, with more than 4,238 tweets associated with the term as of Monday. Reddit was trending with more than 112,000 searches on the social media platform. Twitter users as early as 9 a.m. noticed that Reddit was experiencing technical issues. [...] Although the website resumed functioning almost two hours after the early reports of an outage, a coalition of Reddit moderators and users continue to engage in a standoff with the company Monday and Tuesday. More than 7,808 unique subreddits planned to participate in the blackout starting Monday, with the largest being r/funny, a community with more than 40 million users, according to an index by r/ModCoor. Around 7,260 subreddits are private as of Monday afternoon, according to a real-time stream of the protest on Twitch.

This is what happens when you're raised by TV and trained in literary analysis

Beyond the crushing heartbreak of that finale, one thing in particular has stuck with me when I look at it in the context of S2 as a whole.

He lays out their relationship, "We're a team, a group. A group of the two of us. And we've spent our existence pretending that we aren't."

He then turns his head away and says, "I mean, the last few years, not really."

He pauses here, facing the interior of the bookshop. Really looks it up and down.

Turns back, "And I would like to spend" before choking on his words and looks toward the window. He can't finish saying something like "And I would like to spend eternity with you" because that's too much, too fast, for both of them.

But it's that "last few years" bit that has firmly lodged itself in my very broken brain.

According to Gaiman, it's been "a few years" since the end of Season 1. Armageddon has been averted. Heaven and Hell have reluctantly retreated. Crowley and Aziraphale have been effectively cut loose from their "sides," leaving them to form their own side.

So at the start of Season 2, we get a glimpse of the “fragile existence” they have carved out for themselves. To me, the biggest difference that we see is how they exist together in front of others. Going to the coffee shop, the pub, and the other shops along the street that Aziraphale has lived on for over 200 years. And don’t forget how they act in front of Nina, Maggie, and sweet, dim Muriel.

At the coffee shop, Aziraphale stammers a bit when Nina asks who Crowley is, but he still seems to have affection in his voice when he says, "We go back a long time."

Compared to Shakespearian "He's not my friend! We've never met before. We don't know each other!" panic, this is an incredible difference.

Of course, each time, Crowley is cool and cheeky and does nothing to indicate that they aren't a pair. Though, of course, he does deny it when Nina asks about Aziraphale being his side piece. “He’s not my bit on the side! He’s far too pure of heart to be anyone’s bit on the side.” And refers to him as an “Angel [swallows]I know.”

When they go the pub, Crowley's joy at doing something together in public that they do not normally do is super cute, including his cheeky order for Aziraphale's sherry. Then, when bringing the drinks over to the socially trapped Aziraphale, he greets Mr. Brown with a truly adorable, "Hello" and a signature DT smile. Then upon hearing how “excited” Mr. Fell is to host the meeting, he looks down and says, “Oh? You astonish me.” while Aziraphale sips his sherry and squirms.

We also watch as Crowley follows Aziraphale as he goes to each shop and talks to the owners about the meeting/secret ball. In theory, Crowley has no reason to tag along, and he certainly doesn’t help sway anyone who doesn’t want to/can’t go. He goofs around at the magic shop. He splays out on the bench, chin on hand, looking for all the world a husband waiting for his wife to pick out a dress at the department store. They are so married it’s ridiculous.

Finally, their behavior in front of Muriel while inside their sanctuary. Crowley sits on the arm of Aziraphale’s chair, somehow looking supremely comfortable on the old-fashioned furniture. He folds up those gloriously long limbs and presses himself as close as possible.

He smiles and plays along with Aziraphale’s coaching of Muriel in her disguise. Calls him Angel and asks to speak in private. And at the end, during the awful wait while Aziraphale talks with The Metatron, Crowley cleans up the shop and tells Muriel that he and Aziraphale will need some “us” time after all this. No beating around the bush. 

Without oversight, they can be openly together and happy. But Heaven just can’t let that happen.
