#isn't this heavenly

Have we talked about the priest? The way his body marks Wee Morag's death as a heavenly judgment.

Morag is terrified when she sees the priest. She's said she's afraid of how graverobbing will stain her soul (she holds the common belief of the time that desecrating a body will stop that person from entering heaven - Aziraphale's correction that that's not how it actually works is brushed off) but she agrees to help Elpeth get a single body to help them survive. But now that they've done it she's met with the face of holy judgment and Morag is so badly scared that she falls into the gun's trip-wire and ends up dead.

(Something about being met with a dead priest and not a live one - a priest who can no longer offer forgiveness or absolution)

We know this grave robbery is happening with the approval of an angel, but Morag's death feels like a sign that heaven disagrees.

There's something bigger here about the hard-learned morality that Aziraphale is gaining on earth, his growth to understanding the greyness of human morality, and how he keeps reverting back to attributing his view of goodness to Heavenly Goodness. But it's not, it's human goodness. And despite the clear signs that they are different things and heaven isn't interested in his (near-)human perspective, he still can't make that disconnect.

Heavenly officials always complained about how Ling Wen was so inefficient while they were betting and joking around at the expense of the two least competent officials.

Hua Cheng isn't wrong, they are quite a laughing stock.

Thanks, I hate it!

All the bozos complaining about our supposed overabundance of Positive Lesbian Representation in Media — reporting in, presumably, from the same parallel dimension with the overabundance of TV and movie butches — and wishing Hollywood would just go back to good old-fashioned toxic lesbian movies, your dream film has arrived! Based on a novel by Ottessa Moshfegh and set in the mid-1960s, this resolutely unpleasant little movie stars Thomasin McKenzie as the title character, a mousy young woman (who is allegedly very plain despite being played by Thomasin McKenzie) working at a men's prison in a judgmental little New England town and taking care of her awful alcoholic father. When Rebecca, the prison's glamorous new psychiatrist (Anne Hathaway with an incongruous bleach job), seemingly takes a fancy to her, Eileen begins having stirrings, which for a time suggests that this is going to be one of those exercises in Period Piece Lesbian Misery (à la CAROL or the film version of TELL IT TO THE BEES). However, things then take a wholly unexpected and very dark turn, and you're reminded that the publicity made noises about this being a Hitchcockian thriller.

Even before the Sudden Turn, EILEEN is a bleak and joyless story, the cinematic equivalent of slipping on a sidewalk and getting dirty early-spring snow up the back of your shirt. If the thought of MILFy Anne Hathaway laying her hand on your knee sets off KILL BILL sirens in your head, you'll see where Eileen is coming from, but watching her being abused and belittled by everyone around her other than Rebecca (punctuated by Eileen's fantasies of killing her father or herself) is pretty much the opposite of fun. Moreover, the sharp left into Hitchcock territory means that Eileen doesn't even get the usual Period Piece Lesbian Misery quota of one to 1.5 soft-focus vanilla sex scenes before the torment sets in. Bleah!

Extremely strong content warnings are needed for CSA, which is not depicted, but is described in unexpected and upsetting detail, along with some brief but quite graphic violence. It's bad enough that I would advise caution even if the stars make you think it might be worth a look.

crack theory: what if the abyss twin isn't a descender because they're an ascender?

The seraphim carefully landed next to her exterminator counterpart, folding her three sets of wings gently against her back. "Lute?" She spoke gently, trying not to startle her as she made her ways towards the woman. "How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while."

"Clary is annoying"

yeah well try getting your mother get kidnapped by your evil father

and being thrown into a world which you didn't know existed, and then finding out

you had a brother too but it turns out he's much worse than your father so you fight

and stop 2 wars caused by your father AND brother, get weird looks and get called names just because you're your father's daughter and your brother's sister, even though you yourself defeated both of them,

and your best friend getting mixed up in all the chaos which in return, gave him demon-caused amnesia,

all the while being 16.

so yeah, Clary is annoying, isn't she????????????????

Ann seeing that reblog:

[levitheseus]

it's so wild to me that i heard daughter of evil a decade ago. riliane lucifen d'autriche has had a place in my brain for ten whole years. for my eleventh birthday i forced my family to find a way that i could closet cosplay her. my mother still remembers the "evil princess" song. my first digital art on a tablet (rather than mspaint) is of riliane's old design. she and allen were on my high school graduation cap. i have their nendoroid petites and some other riliane figure and i'll drop however much for their actual nendoroids too. truly a character of all time.

Not to gush too much about Pucci's appearance on here, but since I reblogged that poll, ngl a lot of the time when I was reading the manga I just stopped to stare at him in some panels because he was so pretty (even if his hair was weird). Like idk just look at him

I really adore the way his eyes look in particular- especially the early panels where it looks like they have stars in them.

One of the ways in which I try to beat back the Seasonal Affective Demons is by giving attention to every single thing that brings me joy, especially the small ones. The sky is pretty tonight? FUCK YEAH IT IS. See that over there? Those are BIRDS. Alive and everything. What's that? Smiling baby? Wonky dog? Pretty hair tie in a pretty girl's hair? Motherfucking MIRACLES, I tell you.

This works... at least sometimes. It works, especially once you've got yourself conditioned into it until it's mostly automatic. Which ia great! Anything that helps is great!

....uuuntil you've asked your teacher a question and you're listening to the answer because it's interesting, alright, but also that one guy in the second row just put his arm on his head and you genuinely can't tell whether he wants to say something this time or is just stretching, again, and your teacher stops herself in the middle of a sentence to ask,

"Oh? You're smiling, is there - what is amusing you so much?"

And you have to sober up because. Because "my colleague stretched in a completely normal way" is not exactly a good answer, is it.

"...I'm. Um. I'm just really invested in the Book of the Heavenly Cow?"

I know you won't hear me and I know you can't answer, but I want you to know that I love you dearly. You are my angel and always will be the one that shines so brightly. To wish you a heavenly birthday is all I can do today...

Heyyy Just wanted to tell you I loved the heavenly body story! I just finished rereading it and it still stuns me in how amazing the story telling is. It broke my heart that it wasn't a happy ending and that heavenly never realized that they did get held by eclipse one last time. And poor eclipse to become their version of an alcoholic but understandly so since not only did he lose his detective but also his brothers without so much of a goodbye. I was not expecting for Mayor Fazbear to die and it hurt read that. I loved it. And foxy and DJ too! So much death in the end It was a wonderful read! I can't wait to read it again in the future Perhaps I'll have it book bind? With your permission of course. If you would indulge us dear readers.... What would have happened if eclipse did manage to find heavenly before the experiments, before the Frankenstein monstrosity? Would they have had a happy ending? I would like to think so Now don't mind me I'm going to reread The final project again and then all of your AUs as well Thank you for sharing this with us Its been great reading this again!!

HELLO! I am so sorry that I am taking so long to respond to these, my brain is slowly turning into soup and not even a tasty one-

And yes! Thank you so very much for enjoying this fic, I am so very honored for your praise!! AND I WOULD BE FUCKING ECSTATIC IF YOU BOOK BOUND ONE OF MY WORKS ;A;. If you ever do, please show me, I would love to see it!

This book, alongside the second book (teeechnically), is supposed to be a parallel to a certain thing that I've mentioned. There's a reason. It's sort of mentioned in the very first chapter, but who knows :D

So, so, so, if Gregory had shown Eclipse the box a lot sooner, showing the documents of where you were raised and that you were indefinitely inside the facility, by the time he finds you, you'd already be started in the experimentation process. Sun had been wanting to get his hands on you for the longest time, and with being evasive for months only increased the process. So, if Eclipse managed to find you before the actually 'Experiment', you'd still be drugged and beaten up from Michael, but you'd be saved and in recovery. Eclipse would be there to assist you in the hospital, even though he's very tall. But he'll do it. He knows. And it will take you a very long time for you to recover.

You'd be living in Eclipse's house from that point on, considering what happened to your appartment. This is probably where the bulk of Eclipse 'courting arc' would happen. Getting you to physically and mentally recover, now that he knows what happened to you, will be Eclipse's life goal. You'll probably spend a lot of time paranoid and well, that will certainly be one way to go through your trauma ^^;. If I made the story like that (which, I didn't for reasons), it'd probably go down like that. An actual, truly, happy ending.
