#idk how i feel about this tbh man

[bullagit]

due to personal reasons i am now firmly on team “i hope aziraphale does change heaven for the better actually (going on the assumption that his return is as straightforward as it seemed etc” 

like if the alternative is just this ohhh he’s so NAIVE and SOFT and so WRONG and he’ll have to LEARN A TOUGH LESSON etc etc nonsense then yeah 1000% go for it babe knock it out of the park

i hope choosing hope and kindness pays dividends. i hope the soft traits that made other characters continually disparage and underestimate him and his intelligence turn out to be his greatest assets bc i kinda don’t give a shit about a “toughen up it’s the only way everyone else knows better” life lesson for this character

(which like honestly a lot of the rhetoric is dismissive of the fact that persistent goodness in the face of an existence of disparagement takes great strength and that at the end of the day aziraphale has always been able to stand up in his own way)

Very confused at the fact that there are two posters going around rn, with the first one being the newer one with other images with it (wide screen version and one with text) I wonder why that is? We also got a leaked synopsis with voice actors attached

they’re a duo wether they like it or not

Just found out that "Richard Grayson is actually (possibly) Richard Parker (Peter Parker's dad) if he didn't meet and marry any Mary Parker in this different universe" is pretty commonly accepted trope to use in DC x Marvel crossover fics

It's been rolling around in my brain the last few days for some reason, but I still hate the family backstory reveals for Sophie and Eliot. I've seen some of the meta for it, but quite frankly, it still makes no sense. If it had been something actually thought of and intentional in the original, I think it could have been so fascinating. I mean, Sophie's willing abandonment of Astrid to contrast with Nate's loss of Sam or Eliot's adoption in contrast with Hardison's and Parker's? Could have been excellent! But they came out of nowhere in Redemption and don't work with these characters.

Sophie was still actively using the fucking alias that she met Astrid under! She met with someone from her past on the show! Like. Quite frankly, that one is unequivocally bullshit that they made up and threw in and pretended could fit with the established canon. (And I'm sorry, but the idea of Sophie abandoning Astrid and never telling Nate about her just... So much of Nate's trauma was rooted in the loss of Sam, and I think that introducing this element after he's gone and unable to respond to it taints Sophie and Nate's relationship in a way bc I'm not exactly sure how Nate would've responded to learning about this but I think that it's something he'd have needed to know. I don't know how to fully express my thoughts on that but yeah.)

As for Eliot, I don't like the adoption aspect literally at all. The way that he would interact with his family and the memory of his family would be different, and I think that it's flat out ridiculous to think that he'd have never mentioned it to the team in the original show, especially when dealing with the kid cases. (I also dislike the biracial adoption as its own element because if Eliot was actually raised by Black parents in the... idk what 80s/90s? That just. doesn't feel congruent with how they write Eliot interacting with PoC, not necessarily in a bad way, but babe, he's written like a white southern man raised in a specific kind of culture that does not jell with that. It also makes Eliot look... really bad that he was apparently raised with the knowledge of how fucked up the military was and his parents' history and made the choices that he did.) Like the show may not have explicitly stated it but the implication of that relationship was vastly fucking different throughout the original show.

Just. These were not backstories that were congruent with their depiction and characters in the original show, and they're also just moves that I don't particularly like or find interesting directions for those characters. There's also something to be said about how it was apparently unacceptable for a woman to not have kids or someone not reconciling with their biological family when that was something that the original show handled a lot better. Out of all the directions to take Sophie and Eliot's stories, that's just not really one that I think was a good idea.

really wish people would read blog rules more, it makes running blogs like this very low reward and you feel like a machine if people aren't commenting and aren't even abiding by one of the, honestly, very few and politely phrased rules i even have

Do you have any more info on Percival you would like to share?

omg hi hello percival ask moment

i do not have that much ngl BUT i will share what i have regardless for u pookie

i posted his ref sheet awhile back but here it is again (even though i plan on changing it a bit)

ngl when i originally made him i just wanted to make another self insert that looked more like my actual persona but then i started adding actual lore to him

basically mans ends up "accidentally" becoming a member of chaos after being persuaded to seek the truth by a cultist (he is very gullible and naive as similar to the knight percival who he's based on)

mans also is very... not right in the head to begin with (aka he's plural) which becomes a huge part of his corruption as he splits into multiple alters of himself (aka the chaos gods) with slaanesh being the main host (at least thats what she THINKS they all fight on it alot)

Percival ends up meeting Cain and (being the dumb lil guy he is) assumes Cain is ALSO a member of chaos due to his very violent and aggressive demeanor. they run off together with Cain leading Percival on to believe he is on his side with plans to kill him eventually but (thanks to slaanesh) end up developing into a very heavily one sided relationship (toxic yaoi part 2 LMAO)

uh yeah thats pretty much all i got so far ummm heres a wip thats meant to showcase the different alter designs (im struggling to design them which is why its so bare)
