another really fantastic detail from the s2 finale regarding Leo's powers... I've always loved the hell out of what they did cinematically with it, it looks and feels incredible and kicks total ass. initially I was under the impression that he was replacing his portals with his swords; that he was "traveling through" them per-say. but here --
...we can actually see Leo materializing SEPARATELY from his sword! you can see in the following frame he actually dissipates again and his sword continues flying along the same path untouched, inertia unaffected.
...and then he materializes again to properly align with it and catch it!
he's entirely not in contact with it but is implied to have already crossed spacetime. which means Leo can just... Do That. he's rapidly bending space to transmit his goddamn subatomic particles to a new location. the purpose of the swords isn't to do the portaling; it's to work as a landing pad. it's a vector point by which he re-solidifies the mass he's transporting. a familiar homing beacon he can align himself with on the fly.

The pishacha are manifestations of evil itself, locked within a cursed amulet. The wearer of the amulet is at the mercy of the demon, known for possessing humans and feeding off their host's chakra energy. However, if symbiosis is achieved, the pishacha can grant its host a myriad of powerful abilities.
I just needed to draw something cool okay. I needed to draw some cool goop and some cool looks okay. okay. if I didn't post this I would have exploded okay

look i know we're all here for reunion marathon sex once they don't prevent the apocalypse because they're incompetent and someone else does it, but realistically? they will both be EXHAUSTED.
aziraphale from constantly having to be on guard in heaven and crowley because he went through emotional turmoil bigger than the entirety of london. so what i really wanna see more of is them just. curling up in bed together and sleeping for a year.

I know there’s a dog saint (thank you CT) but can anything, in theory, be granted sainthood? I know that in the case of the dog there was. An unspeakable amount of rage, but could it happen again? Like, in theory, could a horse that were to do something like save the Pope (idk how, maybe by kicking a potential assassin in the head) become a saint? Or something like those bees that preserve icons, say they were to save a painting of Christ from damage from like, smoke rising from a fire, would they be eligible? Or is that just all moot because they’re not humans?
Saint Guinefort is not a saint, they are a folk saint. Canonization of a saint is a rigorously controlled bureaucratic system which works with four tiers of acknowledged holiness in life.
The first step to sainthood is recognition as a Servus Dei, or Servant of God, by at least a bishop but ultimately falls under Papal jurisdiction. Technically speaking, the Pope does hold the power to just skip all the steps and traditions, but it is so rarely done that you can count it happening on one hand in the entirety of the time of the Holy Roman Church as it is resembling any semblance of modernity.
That said: Dog Saint Sunday forever. Folk saints are innately broaching the heretical since it is icon veneration unapproved by the Holy See. Guinefort's village was repeatedly ransacked by inquisitorial forces because they refused to stop venerating St Guinefort. Pretty much the only rule for becoming a folk saint is if enough people consider you a folk saint that it grabs the attention of the Vatican.
If we're taking soundings on who we should make the next dog saints btw, I say we should start venerating Saint Laika of the Firmament, Saint Negro Matapacos of Santiago, and Saint Loukanikos of Athens.
