#im just a man

[dylankenobi]

I think you can learn a lot about people based on their favorite Ride the Cyclone song. One of my friends is in love with the concept of love, and Talia is her favorite song. Another friend of mine believes in living life to the fullest, even if that means living a wilder lifestyle, and her favorite is Noel's Lament. Then there's me. My favorite is Space Age Bachelor Man 😃

So I was listening to Epic the musical, as one does, and was hit with an au idea that idk what to do with.  

 Adam being told, during the uprising of  hell against heaven, to go to Lucifer's castle because Lucifer has created a nephilim, an abomination, a monster, who is prophesize by God to change heaven and hell forever. And the angels don't know if that's good or bad, so Adam is sent to go kill it. They always assume the worst of Lucifer after all. 

Adam, expecting to find a monster, goes with the angels to hell for an attack and while Lucifer is trying to defend the castle with Lilith from the angels outside, Adam sneaks in, killing the few demons in his way till he gets to a room... A nursery, and instead of a violent, huge, evil monster he sees a baby... A fucking tiny blonde baby girl. 

And he tries to make himself kill her. He pumps himself up, he says it's for the good of heaven!  He has the spear in hand and aims it at her tiny body, but when she opens her eyes, smiles and reaches for him with a giggle, pure innocence in her red eyes... He can't do it. He drops the spear, making it vanish from site. 

So he instead holds the baby to protect her from the attack, hearing Lilith get killed in the crossfire and Lucifer losing his mind over it on everyone outside till the battle ends with Lucifer standing and the angels fleeing. 

Lucifer comes back to the castle only to see the dead bodies, panics and runs to Charlie's room in terror and sees Adam holding his baby. And he's about to attack till Adam takes off his helmet, tears in his eyes as he says "I can't do it..." A soft sob breaks through his throat. "I... I can't do it Lucifer... She's too pure... I couldn't..." And it hurts cuz he's disobaying heaven... again. He's choosing Lucifer and his child over heaven... And he knows he can't go back. Not after failing heaven a second time. 

So Lucifer sighs, goes to Adam and hugs him and his daughter. 

"Then you can stay here."

I'm not a toy

I look into your eyes and i

am filled with a rage gone blind

it's just a way of saying you don't respect my law

do my actions laws and way

disappoint or shame

is the price that I pay just too tame

close the shop and get ready to sue

I don't look like you

I'm not a toy, I'm just tryna up hold the law

even after all the tease and ridicule I saw

I'm not a toy, I'm a sheriff and a man

it's just a little respect form yous that I demand

I'm not a toy

but how

how does a fountain become an island

how does a rift become a gate way

how dose a toy become a sheriff

how

how dose a swamp become a catalyst

how does worlds history remain

how dose a toy become a sheriff

how does a fountain become an island

how does a rift become a gate way (respect me)

how dose a toy become a sheriff (respect me)

how dose a toy become a selheriff (respect me)

I'm not a toy

[starzzify]

but when

does a comet become a meteor,

when does a candle become a blaze,

when does a man become a monster?

when

does a ripple become a tidal wave,

when does the reason become the blame,

when does a man become a

monster?

(forgive me, i’m just a man)

So apparently if you're a man, nobody cares.

Finding a ship uncomfortable or not liking it romantically is one thing, but shitting on it without censoring the ship name is just rude, ill mannered, uncultured behaviour

Wishing harm and death threatens ovrr said ship is just awful and pure cruelty

Also, don't make fun of the shippers who do enjoy the ship cuz holy shit is it that hard to be a decent person? If you don't like, don't read/look! Curate your own damn timeline!

HALFWAY THROUGH THE FINALS, IM MAKING IT BITCHES!!!!

[butchfalin]

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

IM GOING TO PUNCH A HOLE IN SOMEONES CAR

[lackadaisycal-art]

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.
