welp he’s fucked perhaps?

you would pick the one where tails goes to investigate a signal /lh

“There he is.” Sonic grinned at his communicator screen, pressing the green phone button to accept the video call. “You're late, bud.” “I know, I know.” Tails huffed, rolling his eyes. He was in a forest, Sonic guessed when he noticed the trees in the background. “Jewel asked me to check out a signal since I was nearby. I just wanted to tell you I'll be a minute.” “You need a hand?” The hedgehog asked, getting ready to leave the small café. Knuckles frowned at the screen, but also looked like he was readying himself to go to their littlest brother. “Nah, I don't think there's anything out here anymore.” The fox shook his head as continued walking through trees. “Anymore?” The echidna asked, raising a brow as he leaned over to look at the communicator. “Well,” Tails took a deep breath as he pushed a bush out of his way. “The signal actually came from a village, but when I got there it was just–empty. Nobody in sight, but.. there was a lot of blood. I'm following a trail of it right now.” “What?” Sonic's ears perked in alarm as he stood from his chair, “Tails, where are you?” “Sonic, I'm fine.” The kit rolled his eyes, “Whatever caused all of that isn't here anymore. Calm down.” “You're following a trail of blood right now, kid.” Knuckles chimed in, also standing from his seat. “Where are you?” “Seriously, guys, it's–” Tails’ jaw snapped shut and he stopped walking, his full attention on something else right now. The teenagers shared a look at the abrupt stop. They watched as the fox's ears swiveled around, trying to find a sound. “..I'm not alone.” Then the call clicked off. “Tails?!” Sonic immediately went to try and locate his brother's location, swearing under his breath when the tracker was turned off. “We need to go to Jewel.” Knuckles decided before leaving the table, walking out of the café. The hedgehog scrambled to throw down a handful of rings for the bill before dashing after the echidna. What happened to their little brother?

On Aziraphale, Crowley, and Humanity

Inspired by @give-soup-please (post) and

and @on-stardust-wings (post)

So I started thinking about the discussion about Aziraphale’s guardianship of humanity. Aziraphale definitely thinks that protecting humanity and it’s goodness is an inherent part of his job as an angel, though Heaven as an institution clearly doesn’t seem to care about that much. Part of Aziraphale’s decision to go back to Heaven is to change this - he says it explicitly in his speech to Crowley. But I saw some people seeing this as Aziraphale putting humanity above Crowley, and I disagree!

The thing that the Book of Job minisode, A Companion to Owls, focuses on is how both Aziraphale and Crowley are going out of their way to protect Job, who is meant to represent the best of humanity according to both sides. That’s why he’s used as part of the bet between God and Satan. Even more than that, Aziraphale and Crowley are trying to protect Job’s children, who are innocent. They don’t admit it at this point, but they’re both being pushed away from their respective identities and this moves us toward “our side.”

In the book, after the original Apocalypse is thwarted, this conversation takes place:

“For my money, the really big one will be all of Us against all of Them.” “What?” You mean Heaven and Hell against humanity?”

I think this can be read either way, but in my mind Crowley is putting Aziraphale and himself on the side of humanity. We know that humanity is actively changing them:

“...centuries of association with humanity was having the same affect on him [Aziraphale] as it was on Crowley, except in the other direction.”

In the show, Crowley is being framed as always being good and being wronged by the Fall, but in the book we at least know that humanity is making him better in some way outside of whoever he was to begin with.

I think it’s also worth noting Adam’s perspective on the angel and demon. When Adam initially looks at Crowley and Aziraphale:

“Adam turned and appeared to notice them for the first time. Crowley was not used to people identifying him so readily, but Adam stared at him as though Crowley’s entire life history was pasted inside the back of his skull and he, Adam, was reading it. For an instant he knew real terror.”

But then, later:

“I don’t think you need to go worryin’,” said Adam gnomically. “I know all about you two.  Don’t you worry.”

He knows everything. He knows that they’re not following the rules, he knows about the Arrangement, he knows that they’re fighting to allow humanity to continue. He sees the humanity within them. I know that Crowley is afraid of what Adam can do, but part of him being “all human” is that it makes him not a threat to the duo. (See: my post)

Back to now: When he tells Aziraphale “you can’t leave this bookshop,” he isn’t just saying “you can’t go back to Heaven.” Crowley isn’t just asking him not to go back; he’s asking him not to leave. He’s supposed to stay on Earth. It’s what they fought for. It’s where they found their similarities and all of the things that they love. The Bentley, the bookshop, wine, music, plants, magic, each other! I think he’s too afraid to outright say it, but the only reason Crowley wants to leave Earth and run away is because that would keep them safe. And as On-Stardust-Wings pointed out… Alpha Centauri isn’t even that far for an angel and demon to be running away from the powers that be. He doesn’t want them to be gone forever.

Aziraphale thinks that leaving for Heaven is going to help humanity, and therefore he will be helping Crowley. Crowley knows that Heaven might change Aziraphale back. What if he forgets all of the things that made humanity worth protecting? I don’t think Crowley is being entirely selfish, because he always knew that Apocalypse 2.0 would be coming, especially after Heaven’s reaction to Gabriel denying them.

Crowley doesn’t see protecting humanity as an obligation like Aziraphale has. He wants it, despite everything he’s told about himself being a demon. I hope that we don’t see Crowley backslide because of the hurt Aziraphale caused him. I hope that we continue to see that softness in him grow (and I’ve said before, I hope that he warms up to Muriel, who I think is going to have a similar experience to Aziraphale in learning to love humanity.)

Guys guys... the intersectionality of fandoms notwithstanding (I guess zeitgeist, demons, angels, queer thinking fuckery etc etc?) ...

I'm pretty sure that this is the tune The Metacunt has on repeat at his old white guy pilates class.

"For those of us with divine ordainment... Extermination is entertainment!"

Shudder

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 𝓣hough he appreciates angels efforts in trying to keep him stabilized — he kind of hates him for it as well, nonetheless the 24 hours have passed but in reality it was a month — it seems as if he was unconscious for a while 。

Look, I like the Samruby “I can make him worse” jokes as much as the next guy, they’re funny, but just as jokes. I think anyone who believes that’s genuinely Ruby’s mindset has vastly misunderstood her character and their relationship. Ruby doesn’t think she’s making him worse! She thinks she’s making him better!

You have the understand, Ruby genuinely believes that what she’s doing is good. She’d probably admit that the things she’s doing to reach her goal are bad, but she genuinely believes in the righteousness of her cause. She sees the angels as the oppressive rulers (which… they are) and the devil as their benevolent savior.

And then there’s Sam. Satan’s vessel. The Antichrist. She’s just a regular demon and Sam is this wonderful human who’s been chosen for their righteous cause. The man who’s been granted these wonderful powers to help save the earth by freeing the devil. And then she finally meets him, and learns that he’s been taught to hate all these things about himself. He’s got a father who would rather see him killed than fulfill his destiny and a brother who thinks he’s a freak, who wants him to suppress all these things that make him beautiful.

She can’t stand it. This man that she grows to love has been chosen for this beautiful destiny and he’s been ostracized for it. She teaches him to use his powers. Guides him down his chosen path. And yeah, she’s lying to and manipulating him, but it’s only what she has to do to help him. And when he’s freed the devil she reassures him that what he did was good and amazing and that he’s going to be rewarded for it.

He didn’t need the feather to fly. He had it in him the whole time.

Anyway, if you decide to abandon Tumblr entirely, but still wish to follow me elsewhere - I have a Telegram channel with art. It is in russian, but I don't write much text in there anyways. The link is t.me/TheDarkSisterhood

I don't actually ship Jack and Sleipnir, but I do think it'd be cool if he had a friend who was also a bastard freak. Plus the spawn of satan riding an eight-legged horse into battle 💞💞

As we approach the fateful day (april 1st) and celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mishapocalypse, i want to say as we partake in what will be no doubt, an all consuming site event, remember those who have fallen. The dashcons and ballpits, superwholock, the president's shoelaces, justin bieber, whatever the fuck was going on from 2016-2018, and those not mentioned. We honor thee, our fallen brothens and thous memories live on in us.

Really not happy about this AI stuff, Tumblr

I don't want to delete everything here. This blog is over 13 years old and that's a lot to find a place for all my original posts here (along with my backed-up stuff from Twitter - yeah). Also, with this news, my WOR project posts, art, and worldbuilding notes are now sold to Midjourney. Even with the opt-out enabled, it's all taken anyway. Thanks for that @staff [deep agonized screaming].

Yes, I did enable opt-out. But I already know that all my posts are stolen. This, along with the recent anti-trans bans and harassment on this site, the constant p0rn bots and scam blogs, the suppression of activists tags, and so many other issues too many to count, I no longer have trust in this site.

The good thing is that at least I have other places to go. Not leaving yet, but yeah this is fucked.

See my links here:

Remember to Opt-Out in your blog's setting, including your sideblogs or alt accounts.

Hannes had heard what happened and immediately tracked Dean down. "Dean….. Dean, what happened?" He asked softly, stepping a few steps closer but being a little more cautious due to the demon.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 𝓔mpty gaze fixated itself upon his boyfriend, he couldn’t speak, far to ashamed to and the more he looked at the love of his life — the more tears streamed down his visage as he curls himself upon to a ball 。He simply can’t speak, not yet 。

shoutout to my autopilot for not changing its course regardless of the situational context, despite the fact that "doing it differently this one exceptional time" is apparently "extremely obvious"

[lesbianaelwen]

it’s so fun having the opposite cr experience. I watched calamity and finally started watching cr, and im just going to get caught up w c3 and then go back and watch the others (although I know a decent amt about c1 and have watched some of it)

but it’s so funny to not know the references in calamity and then go watch c3 and be like “tHe CaLaMiTy?!?!!!”
