For pride requests, like, Shu has something going on. Something dysphoria, maybe ace too but maybe he moves past repulsion once he figures out the gender thing, I don't know, what's your read?
oh i 100% agree, i have always seen shu being a little uncomfortable with their existence because it reminds them that they are a little too human (in his heart and in his mind) so it will probably take them a while to realize anything in some form without layers and layers of deflections but they're getting there (this is the sole reason why i like to see shu as a gem slowly being polished, they were always brilliant but it takes time to see it and accept it yourself)

I've said it before, but I'm feeling it strongly today and it bears repeating...
All of you artists and authors who lovingly depict Aziraphale's body, with its rolls and curves and softness and strength? When you show Crowley not just accepting it but loving it with passion and reverence and care and worship? Like, it's not just Aziraphale's soul that's worthy of that kind of love, but his actual flesh, the part of him that interacts with the physical, sensual world around him? When you make your audience see that body as beautiful?
It makes me feel so many things. So, so many. Like, maybe my body is worthy of that, too. Like, maybe I deserve a lover who is as enraptured with my flesh as I am with theirs. Like, maybe I shouldn't accept less than that. And like, maybe if no one else can love me that way, I can and I should.
Tagging those of you who have made me cry (in a good way) about this today alone (though there are so many more out there)... @voluptatiscausa @ineffabildaddy @chernozemm @lilpy @omens-for-ophelia

rewatching charles' death scene and overthinking things again!
i've seen it discussed that edwin didn't mention hell to charles until he was convincing him to go with death (*cough cough* @dont-offend-the-bees' stunning soulmate au)
but i thought about something else, and i don't know if it was deliberate or not: edwin doesn't gesture with his hands during the death scene. like, at all. he holds the lantern out to charles, but the next time he really uses his hands is the "you stay and i go" -- and even that is a very simple gesture, hands out and then folded over his chest. compare this to all edwin's fun gestures in the main series, which are twirly and elegant and unselfconscious
my theory is that this was supposed to convince charles to stay, just like the mention of hell should have. edwin had spent his life being judged for the way he moves. he was called names and bullied and ritually sacrificed for it, everyone reading something in it of him that he hadn't even had the chance to realise
but here is a boy in an attic, dying to the same sort of boys that existed here seven decades ago, and there is no one else but edwin. the thought of someone else dying with the loneliness he felt is unbearable, so he can keep him company. never mind that this boy would not want him close if he could see what everyone else did. edwin can keep himself under control, can fold himself away into the image of a normal boy, can clasp his hands properly in front of him or clench them around his knees, for the few hours it will take this boy to move on to the heaven he is meant for. because if charles saw the echoes of his sixteen years of life and his seventy-three years of hell in him, he would never wish to stay
except that charles rowland does

If some of you are wondering who these two random old guys are I keep drawing that ruined my life you can watch this, it's about 17 minutes or so and it'll tell you everything you need to know about both of them and how they became friends with benefits.
