#are two very different questions

how do you think tomgreg would become canon?

I think if tomgreg became canon it would be accidental and stress-induced. I don't think, given the person Tom is and the kind of stress he's going to be under in season 4, that Tom would make any sort of deliberate effort to woo Greg, and I don't think it would even occur to Greg to make some kind of pass at Tom. I think a tomgreg relationship would come about the same way every deepening of their relationship has come about - Tom finds himself emotionally isolated in a high-stress situation, and consequently turns to Greg as an emotional outlet because the power dynamic means Greg can be relied upon not to run away. This has happened so, so consistently every single season that it's virtually guaranteed to happen again in season 4, and given that one significant source of stress in season 4 will be his relationship with Shiv, Tom making a sudden sexual pass at Greg in a moment of intense stress or emotional upheaval does seem very much in the realm of plausibility. And I don't think Greg would reject that, for a myriad of reasons, but mostly boiling down to Greg's own isolation and emotional reliance on Tom. If that happened, I think there's the strong possibility of a deeply dysfunctional romantic relationship emerging out of that because of who Tom and Greg are, and how they grab at any strand of genuine affection that's offered to them

As a leftist, having ‘good intentions’ is not enough.

You need to be fucking educated.

Your intentions mean NOTHING, without accurate knowledge and education abt minorities, you’re just doomed to repeat harmful propaganda without A) being able to spot it and B) more prone to justifying your bigotry and biases via ‘I’m trying to be morally correct so I’ll just believe whatever makes me feel good 🥺🥺🥺’ which just results in you confirming and perpetrating you own biases.

Like… I have a migraine now. I just spent 2 HOURS explaining the history of antisemitism in europe to my mum and educating her about jewish stereotypes and the history/cultural context behind it cause she’s a typical well-meaning-but uneducated leftist who thinks that spewing antisemitic rhetoric is somehow ‘helping Palestine’ i think the fuck not! bitch ur literally european how the fuck are you NOT familiar with the BS myths and legends behind antisemitism… thought it was common knowledge but I suppose people are generally less educated than i thought????? ugh.

Being a leftist doesn’t automatically make you a good person, or ‘correct’ or even morally correct.

You gotta actually fucking learn about history, and various cultures, and the context behind different types of bigotry if you want to avoid repeating it.

Everybody thinks they’re ‘morally correct’. Nazis think their actions are morally justifiable.

Being a leftist isn’t about being ‘morally correct’.

Okay but like honestly, who is this?

Yeah I get it’s probably supposed to be a beta version of Caramel Arrow Cookie, but the voice sounds different (I’d say a bit deeper/older), and also timeline wise it doesn’t add up. It’s implied that Caramel Arrow is at least a few years younger than Dark Choco, considering he taught her to wield a bow (especially since in this kingdom, they learn to wield weapons at a young age), and Dark Choco was young himself at this time. More likely she’d be a teenager, or even close to Milk’s age in this flashback. But this lady’s clearly an adult. And even if it was a beta version of Caramel Arrow, wouldn’t they have gone and made her look more like Caramel Arrow, or had her name indicate who she is like what they do with Milk Cookie?

I don’t know, it probably doesn’t matter, but it just popped into my head and it’s weird

Wait, does the cheating thing on the bond always works? bcs that would be kinda freaky for R!Dipper like imagine you get pinned down by someone in the corner of a br or smthng and then said person kissed you and proceeded to explode into red mist and you literally have no idea what happened.

Also, would the constellation mark be a "cursed" Mark over the years, like you would give birth to a baby and the doctor says "😟 I am so sorry ma'am,,, I'm afraid your baby has the Cipher Companion mark. ( could also be something equally as science-y like Ursa Major, Constellation Calamation, etc idk)" And you just burst into tears.

Would that mean that dipper would get into a special program(demon wrangling program or smthng, demonologist? Maybe)? Or would the parents hide it away hoping that Bill would never take their child away?

(Sorry this au is just very interesting to me,,,, I hope u get more motivation, keep writing author 💪)

These are all options! The fun part of reincarnation AU being left ambiguous is that technically any of them could happen.

Quick i need you to assign mbti-types to your favourite romans

(Myers-Briggs Type Indicator/MBTI)

Pompey: Took an online MBTI quiz five times until it gave him the result he wanted.

Caesar: Can't take an MBTI test because he figured out how to cheese the questions.

Crassus: Sells people MBTI tests.

Cato the Younger: Rants about MBTI being a sign of everything wrong with modern society.

Bibulus: Has never taken an MBTI test but is sure he's an INTJ.

Caelius: Assigns everyone he knows to MBTI types based on vibes. Uses this to judge whether they're "compatible."

Marcus Agrippa: Tells people MBTI is not evidence-based, perpetuates false ideas about how cognition works, and is used as a cover for employment discrimination, thus making it no better than astrology.

Maecenas: Tells Agrippa to lighten up, it's just a silly personality test.

Octavian: Fervently believes in MBTI AND astrology.

Mark Antony: Thinks MBTI must be the initials for some Marcus B_____ Tiberius he's never met.

Cicero: Hired a psychologist for a real personality test and discovered too late he'd signed up for the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory which takes about five hours plus interviews and debriefing. Left the building with an accidental diagnosis, pamphlet for local support groups, and existential crisis.

The great thing about being in charge of our own book design stuff is that we can, in fact, decide to go through a ridiculous amount of effort to create custom headers for every chapter.

We've gotten about two thirds of the way through Shadow Herald's headers right now. Downside; every time a chapter takes place in a new location, we have to draw that location. Upside; every time we draw a location, we can reuse it later. My gods do the shop interiors take forever.

I do gotta say tho, even tho I’m mad at aziraphale because he’s being a terrible boyfriend like what you said about the “I forgive you like” because WHAT. But also I really like the way the show really demonstrates the underlying cruelty of heaven and it’s angels. Really shows the hypocrisy of a group of beings who are supposed to do good, especially aziraphale who really buys into the heaven propaganda, who hurts people, particularly the person who means the most to him. Because like you said he fully just takes advantage of that devotion Crowley has for him. Insane, this shwo makes me INSANE

I missed this anon and yeah! The angels were one of my favourite parts of the season, and I think the strongest element aside from Neil Gaiman deciding he's just a simple man who wants to put his otp in situations. They are deeply awful and I kind of love them. They are the exact kind of moralizing hypocrites who are callous and cruel precisely because they think being on team good means everything they do is justified and it's actually impossible for them to be in the wrong (they're angels! is it even possible for them to do the wrong thing?).

but!! To me, they also seem like they're basically kids? Obviously they're not literally children, but there is this very consistent reoccurring joke about how childish/sheltered/immature they are. Muriel is the most obvious example, but the archangels come off like bratty twelve year olds to her sweet little kid.

Gabriel is basically teenager in love flipping off his family as he runs away with his backstreet guy. Uriel is constantly picking at Michael, Michael is playing at being in charge like it's a game, and it's ridiculously easy for both Aziraphale and Crowely to trick them obvious half assed lies. They're not allowed to ask questions! The Metatron treats them like badly behaved kids out past their curfew. At any point an old man with a beard may pop up to scold them and send them home, and they're all scared of doing something wrong by his standards and getting in trouble with this guy who is pointedly not God but who lines up exactly with the pop-culture idea of god the father, and who offers Aziraphale, among other things, a respite from the hard work of figuring out what the right thing to do is for himself. It's fine! You don't have to question the belief system you were born into or make a painful break with everything you've ever known! Aziraphale has had six thousand years on earth to grow up, but the other angels have been sitting in a sterile white box playing "i'm not touching you" games with each other and filing paperwork.

And I think that's extra interesting because this season also really emphasizes:

Heaven has Institutional Problems

Aziraphale isn't the only angel who's unhappy in heaven. Gabriel and Muriel were both completely miserable. They just didn't understand that they were unhappy because they'd never experienced anything else.

Angels who aren't Aziraphale can change and grow! There's very explicitly Gabriel being changed by love and Muriel growing up a bit on earth, and from a more fan-theory angle there's also Jimbriel, who I think is probably basically Gabriel minus the war and six thousand years of playing referee for Michael and Uriel while unleashing an assortment of plague and calamities on earth because that's God's will! Buck up champ.

We also get Gabriel and Beezelebub talking about how their underlings basically live for Armageddon, "if you can call that living." This is so bleak. They've all been on a six thousand year time out just dreaming of the day they get to beat the shit out of each other until they feel better, but it won't work because eternity is just more of the box.

Anyway I think it's going in a distinctly eden adjacent direction. Aziraphale is going to tempt those angels with knowledge and the capacity for change. I have veered so far from your ask anon i'm sorry you're right heaven really went all out on sucking this season & while Crowley and Aziraphale are both fucking it up Crowley refrains from being spectacularly cruel to Aziraphale about it and Aziraphale should learn to return the favour. I forgive you!! I forGIVE you. I forgive YOU. "you can be an angel again" is actually a worse thing to say than "you're a demon. i don't even like you." when he finally picks crowley over heaven i'm going to lose my mind.

NEW F/OS! (F.INAL F.ANTASY 16 EDITION)

Everyone say hello to C.live R.osfield and D.ion L.esage!

[lunarthecorvus]

What do you think Kaz and Inej would do for work if Kaz retired from being a barrel boss and Inej retired from being a Captain?

I picture Inej running a slave hunting operation from wherever she lives and occasionally breaking her retirement and joining a voyage. For Kaz I think that he still advises The Dregs but what else he does I am not sure.
