"why are beelzebub and gabriel allowed to be happy but aziraphale and crowley aren't" because this story isn't about beelzebub and gabriel. it's not that they got their happy ending and aziracrow got fucked over. gabriel and beelzebub's relationship is meant to show aziraphale and crowley what they can have if they were on the same page. this is what aziraphale and crowley can achieve in the next season. because gabriel and beelzebub's story is done (for now). aziraphale and crowley still have at least one more season.

Look I know my gender is a bit weird and I'm not fully sure what to identify as but I am pretty comfortable in being afab and percieved as a girl. I like my name and I like my she/her pronouns, I tried other pronouns too but they didn't feel right and so I'd say mostly I'm comfortable with my gender. But. Why the fuck do I always get such massive gender envy for male characters??? And male characters only!! I don't get it

This movie is about love. I called it the second this lonely tax auditor parked his old car at the side of a dirt road and walked to a pink house far off in the middle of a field.

I'm thinking of watching my only 12% and I'm curious - did you watch the show? If yes what were your thoughts?

I did and I enjoyed it greatly. The ending (I've still not watched the final episode, honestly, had a rough day the day it came out and just haven't gotten back to it...) was a bit off but the rest held up fantastically. Lots of good emotions, lots of pain and jealousy and love. Absolutely do recommend despite my own issues having not watched the final episode.

But Santa and Earth are fantastic actors and they made everything work so well.

So I'm in this weird place where the guy i hooked up with a couple times a couple years ago is dating my partner's sister and we all hang out cause siblings and everything is fine until the dude does something ambiguous enough so that it could be interpreted as flirting but it could also be just good ol' horsin' around and then i just wanna die cause apparently feelings die hard and my partner thinks it's funny and I hate it here

It's a weird feeling being first

It's weird making a fic for a piece of media with the knowledge that it's going to be the first fic for that media (on AO3 at least).

You put the title of the book, play, movie, show, whatever it is in the fandom tag. It doesn't show up in the autocomplete, but it's not that surprising as it's a little obscure. Same thing with all the character names.

You save the draft. You click on the tags for the fandom and the characters. Out of curiosity. See if there are other works, or if there are characters in other pieces of media with the same name.

They're all blank. There are no fics that use them. Any of them.

And you realize...

You're the first. You're the only one so far who's written a fic for this piece of art. Definitely on AO3, maybe even on the internet in general. It feels preposterous. You know other people have read it. Surely you're not the only one. Surely not the first.

But you are.

And not only that, but for all those who come after you, if anyone does, you set the standard. You have to chose the name for the fandom tag. You have to chose the names for the characters. These will be the names the fandom and the characters are known by on AO3.

What is the best name to give this character? Their full name? Or what they are most often referred to as? Nickname? Is their full name even given? Will you have to scour the original work to find it? Should you specify the media they come from in parentheses to avoid future confusion? What are you even supposed to do if they have 2 first names one formal and one informal?

Should his name be fucking Jack or John??????????????

Better hope you don't misspell anything. That could be a disaster.

It feels like too big a responsibility for it to be your fic, especially this particular fic. It should be something else, something maybe more representative of the actual work.

But unless someone else comes along to fill that responsibility, or you write something else, it's going to have to be you and this fic.

Maybe that's fine. Once the groundwork is laid down, other people will start writing fics to populate the tags.

Or maybe that fic will stand alone, with no friends to accompany it. It may go for years without so much as a partner, or for decades, or centuries, or be lonely until the very end of AO3 and perhaps digital storage as a whole.

tfw you finally make an appointment at the ent to get your allergies in check after months of suffering, just to promptly identify the culprit a fuckin day later...

Well fuck.

It turns out that my ADHD medication sold so poorly that it’s been discontinued and that’s why I can’t find it anywhere. It was only approved last year, too.

Fuck.

Just when I thought things were getting better.
