So, I’m thinking about the immortal au (obsessing, casually)

And I’m really into Good Omens, and I was thinking about the way that Aziraphale and Crowley’s relationship is often shown through various non-chronological flashbacks to different points in history besides the present-day storyline.

This came to mind because I was thinking about if this au were written as a fic, this format would be really cool to see if the hypothetical fic took place around the time leading up to m/c somehow claiming the dca from the pizzaplex with the flashbacks being from before/when m/c meets the dca. (I hope that makes sense)

I can’t really call myself a writer so I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not but I’ve been thinking about this premise a lot and thought I’d share.

Ooooooh that's great!! It's an interesting idea for sure, kinda like intercalating (is that the word? Idk english is hard. Consider mixing) the two arcs (which would be pre/during-pizza plex and post-pizzaplex)

I think about flashbacks a lot regarding the 'mc' but whenever I think of them is more like. Things lost in time, from places of really, really long ago

Them making a vague comment about how some random king was a wise and kind leader on his time, smiling softly as they remember how great of a friend he also was, and how they both would gaze down the grass field and talk about nothing and everything

Them mentioning not liking something to the dca, trying their best to not think of the specific situation centuries ago that made them to this day still be scared of it

They are the carrier of the memories of people who've been lost on time and history, who keeps them alive by remembering them, telling their stories after they are long gone. Kinda dramatic but it's like holding onto a drawing your old childhood best friend made you back when you were kids and that you still cherish despite having lost contact ages ago

They've loved those people with an open bleeding heart time and time again, which reflects on their relationship with the dca today and all the things they don't quite tell them

I always think of flashbacks of important relationships that marked them like fire to the skin, which narrative-wise I guess is also kinda interesting- but idk

But I really like your idea too, for sure is smth I'll keep in mind if one day I get to sit down and sort out how will I write this thing

Man, i really gotta watch good omens one of these days

i dont think enough credit is given to edward elric for being the funniest character to ever exist solely on account of the fact that he MET GOD. MULTIPLE TIMES. AND YET HE'S AN ATHEIST

based honestly no other character can ever compare to how based but also hilarious that is. he literally met god then goes to a church and is like 'yall foolish for believing in god bro he aint real'

EDWARD YOU LITERALLY MET GOD

c! "i don't think about you at all" quackity

To me personally malistaire is the funniest and most pathetic villain wizard101 has ever had AND I MEAN THAT SINCERELY!!! Between doomed children who have been manipulated, groomed, and isolated into becoming products of their environments, someone scorned who has been punished unfairly by having your biological heart torn out your chest and turning your children and all of reality against you to satiate their own ego, a nonhuman entity so powerful and so clueless they unintentionally threaten the lives of everyone around them, Malistaire FELL DOWN BRO. Like yeah you're bitchless now. You and me both. Get in line. Everyone in this room is bitchless. We are ALL living that ✨💅🏾💃🕺 Single Life™. You are a middle-aged man. Cope

i was doing my regular rewatch the other day and tbh... lonnie and will's relationship is so unsettling. lonnie literally did not give a single goddamn fuck that his own twelve year old son was missing and later "dead". he just... did not fucking care! at all. couldn't even pretend to. jonathan comes to tell him what happened and we see that...

lonnie got joyce's call and still didn't care to reach out,

when jonathan tells him this is serious and real, he mocks will by saying "he was never very good at taking care of himself" (which is already disturbing considering this is his son he's talking about, but especially so when you remember that lonnie abused will for being gay and tried to get him to like "masculine" things),

he's already talking to jonathan about seeing him more and reconnecting, like will isn't fucking missing, like he's already fucking dead and he's moved on, as if will is some stranger or worse someone that never existed at all,

instead of feeling any kind of shame about jonathan not believing him when he says will isn't there and him looking in the actual fucking trunk of his car, he just makes a joke out of it asking if jonathan's gonna check up his ass too,

his neglect is brought up again when jonathan slams one of the posters to his chest and tells him "in case you forgot what he looks like",

and that's not even touching on the fact that the very first thing we see lonnie do when jonathan enters the house is fucking shove and pin him to the wall, telling him "you got stronger".

like, he is not a good man in the slightest—the complete antithesis of the byers we know.

and then afterward... lonnie finally decides to come back. he's being nice to joyce and pretending like he's the man of the house again. like he's finally come home to fix and save his family.

he goes to will's funeral and treats it like a schmoozing event, like that isn't his youngest son being buried right in front of him, showing less emotion than one of will's classmates that hasn't ever even talked to him.

but... he's not there because he's had a sudden change of heart.

no, he's there because he has something to gain out of this unimaginable tragedy. his own youngest son is dead and he comes back home to collect a fucking check for it. because he's never cared about will, hasn't ever even seen him as a human being, he just... sees his death as something he can benefit from.

it's just so fucked up and so sinister. lonnie isn't a man riddled with vices, beholden to some disease which makes him act in ways most unbecoming. no, he's... just a man. a small, manipulative, and cruel leech of a man that just doesn't fucking care and is in it only for himself.

it's just... it's really tragic to think that will really was dealing with monsters way before that first demogorgon ever came through the gate.

and even then... that demogorgon was an animal acting as animals do / possessed by vecna and you can't really blame it for that. but what's lonnie's excuse, huh?

Sigmas whole 'im just a normal man' thing is actually so interesting to me. Like I know I joke about it being transmasc behaviour a lot but seriously. is he genuinely just convinced he's normal because everyone around him is so weird ? Is he just hoping that repeating it enough times will make himself and everyone who knows believe it ?

strikes are good strikes are great i am 100% in support of a general strike but also you cannot guilt trip random individuals for not participating in a general strike because not everyone can afford the lost wages. like it’s brutal out here some of our employers do illegal strike retaliation like it’s nbd and the unions have a hard time suing them because the employer holds too much power and is tied to the government :( some employers have enough money that they can just do illegal retaliation because when something is punished by a fine, it’s basically legal if you have the funds for it

its been a billion years since I posted anything meaningful about mcga but I'm thinking about Alex helping Magnus with clothes.

I think Blitzen would love to help style Magnus, but I think he might accidentally end up being a bit overbearing, albeit with good intentions. He wants to help, but would probably end up tripping over his own fashion opinions more often than not, and Magnus would want to make his friend happy too much to actually voice his own opinions consistently. But Alex would understand that identity through fashion is something slow to be discovered on your own. It's not instant, it's a slow process of trying things and finding out what makes you feel good physically and emotionally. You can't pressure a person finding their own style, especially someone who's never had much room to do so and will likely feel guilty about making that room. She's gone through the process, and she'd probably be more than happy to help someone with it too.

I'm thinking about them going around to different stores and finding that Magnus likes second hand and low-end boutique stuff more than anything. Alex letting him onto her etsy account and buying his first piece of jewelry, taking him around to all of her favorite stores where she's greeted as a friend. Yeah, they could do all this in Valhalla, but where's the fun in that?

I think Magnus would like earth tones and dark, muted colors. He would avoid synthetic materials for their unnaturally soft textures and blue would make rare appearances. Alex would parade him around in his first pair of White Guy Khaki Shorts in five years, glowing with a silly sort of pride and Magnus feeling something kindle back to life in his chest at a growing collection or flannels, just like his mom. I'm imagining Magnus learning what it's like to live with his body, rather than despite it, and feel comfortable with himself in his surroundings for the first time since he was a little kid, taking a hike in the woods. And I'm thinking of Alex holding his hand the whole time.

People discussing Israel's racist policies and Israel's policy of fucking over non Rabbinic communities and fucking up the transmission of diaspora cultures (such as the teaching of languages) is not the time to go "we don't need gentiles in our intracommunity politics". Foundational to Israel is "maintaining a Jewish majority". These communities are attacked in lathe part because they are seen as not being as Jewish as White, Ashkie, Western European Jews (with respect to how Eastern European Jews are also often mistreated), or their Judaism is otherwise seen as deficient. The maintenance of this majority is also why Palestinians generally, cannot really get an Israeli citizenship, even if they wanted to, and sometimes even if they can prove they are of Jewish descent. "Who is a Jew and what is a Jewish culture" is a constructed boundary: for the past 70 odd years it has been a boundary used for violence. If you want anti-zionists to have politics informed by the needs of Jews, they must be party to these discussions.
