"Crowley doesn't have Gabriel. Where would he put him?" says Aziraphale talking to Shax.

Where would he put him?

He knows. HE KNOWS. He knows that Crowley doesn't have a house anymore. That he's living in his car. But he hasn't said anything because he hasn't yet fathomed why Crowley wouldn't say anything. And he's trying to change that, too.

"You like waiting inside." Subtle, subtlest way to tell him that he knows, he understands, has noticed the telling signs. And he's saying it's very much okay for Crowley to keep staying in, whenever he wants, to consider the bookshop his place even when Aziraphale is not around.

The whole "our car", "our bookshop", "we both got plenty of use out of it". Look, I know what the common speculation about the plenty of use is, but realistically? He's heavily implying that Crowley, too, needs the bookshop. Not likes, needs. Let's spell out the analogy: I need your (our) car because I don't have my own car, the same as you need my (our) bookshop, which is my house, because you don't have your own house.

He's been dropping hints right and left that he already knows anyway, and that it's okay to ask, he'd totally say yes. And even if Crowley doesn't ask, it's still okay. He's saying yes already.

And I marvel continuously at the complexity of the character that is Aziraphale, because he can be the most infuriatingly callous bitch in the world, and then in the same breath he can be this sensitive, gentle, emotionally intelligent person who really, really loves Crowley more than he could ever put into words.

Danny is currently in the sewers. Why is he in the sewers? That's not important and it most certainly has nothing to do with him running away after a reveal gone wrong. What is important is that he has encountered a crocodile. A big bipedal crocodile that's injured. One who reminds him too much of Wulf in certain ways. Well crap, there's no way he's leaving him alone now.

HEAR ME OUT, he's totally turned on by her but he holds himself back and thinks about her while getting off. he really really really likes her fiery personality and thinks its hot when she gets all angry at him. he doesn't really take her seriously most of the time, and he thinks she looks cute with a pouty angry frown on her face

hit it right on the target with this one, bestie.

He tries his very best to be respectful, to put enough space in between the two of you because he knows how much you dislike him. It's what makes him put this distance between you and him in the first place. But that doesn't stop him from thinking about you when he wants to get off. You're all he thinks about, how fiery you are, how outspoken you are, how passionate you are about your beliefs. Hell, even the slap turned him on, the way your pretty lips turned into a frown, although he would much much much rather see you smile.

He doesn't want to make you terribly uncomfortable, but he also wants you to know that he doesn't like being bossed around. He hates it. He wants to be the one in control, but so do you. So really its a power struggle. Honestly, he finds it amusing that you really think that you have the upper hand on him. One of these days he swears he'll put you in your place, but not now, not when you loathe him like this. He thinks it wouldn't be right.

King Ghost does see you as naive and helpless, doesn't take you seriously at all, but he also sees that you have the potential to learn from him and other higher ups in the palace. Right before you get married, he decides to pair you with one of his most trusted and knowledgeable tutors so that you know the current political state of Kastron. He's trying to not lose the power struggle against you.

Listen, there is just one problem for me rn:

And you want to tell me that NONE of this happened???

[grimmgrinningghouls]

Ruby’s not okay yet. She hasn’t healed, and no one’s saying she’s just perfectly fine after the ascension. But she is doing better. She’s just started her road to recovery, and it’s going to take time for that to heal.

[whispereons]

Everything in life is stressing me out so badly (especially with a new hopefully treatable med problem with Zen) and just rereading the comments and the new reblogs make me so damn happy.

At least I got two pages done out of a usual 10(?) page one. Idk rn cause I'm on mobile but I think the average was 10.

Ignitionshipping. That's it. That's the post. These two buffoons are ruining my brain

Coming back from my cave in the mountains to say that whatever Flint and Volkner had (and have) going on is NOT straight. I'm not indulging into pokémas content (and trust me I'd LOVE to) because otherwise we'd stay here overnight but holy shit you guys.

MATCHING TEAMS (dog, eeveelution, newest trade evolution abomination jk I love both magmortar and electivire)??????

WHICH BY THE WAY ARE SPECIAL (Flint) AND PHYSICAL (Volkner) ATTACK ORIENTED.

You'd think a team battling would like... I don't know... maybe NOT allow you to earthquake sweep them? Like with how bullshit Sinnoh teams are they could just give Flint his drifblim and call it a day. Come on, out of 22 attacking moves these two dumbasses have on their teams only 2 are super effective against ground.

To think these idiots are the strongest gym leader in Sinnoh (and almost-elite-four) and the THIRD elite four. Let me reiterate, these two are the THIRD and SIXTH strongest trainers in their region and their two collective braincells didn't collide hard enough for them to come up with a single counter to their worst weakness counter or at least some sort of immunity (like uh... DRIFBLIM or even a rotom, just to name a few).

But no, they went with the matching teams. Because if someone in pokémon doesn't show they're queer for FIVE SECONDS they die.

Let's completely ignore that their Platinum dialogues are just them being an old married couple;

Flint literally comes back to Sunyshore just to check on his friend and straight up BEGGING the player to battle his buddy?

Oh and what's that?

Yeah, no wonder they changed that in Platinum. God forbids a blond bitch is gay

And the anime????? It's so strongly implied Volkner stopped battling all together because Flint left??? Is it even an implication at this point?

And yeah I said I wouldn't indulge into pokémas but the fact that in there Flint uses electric puns and Volkner says he's "starting to sound like Flint" is just so cute.

"no love lost" my ass, Volkner, you two KISS

Rippling Spring—Ais

The one thing I find the most riveting about Ais, is the monster that lives within his skull: Ocudeus

With the prefix obviously being pulled from "octopus", however the suffix is what I'm truly curious about.

Which could possibly be derived from "Asmodeus" whose earliest etymology has connections to "wrath" and "demon". Heralded as a Prince of Hell, he was assigned the Sin of Lust, though he also has traits of wrath, jealousy, anger and revenge.

[Photo taken from NekoChang, Touchstarved Demo Part Two, Seaspring Tentacles]

In the Testament of Solomon he was forced to build a temple—Among that Ais does indeed have a temple of sorts—Asmodeus also states that he hates water and birds because they remind him of God.

And while Mhin might not necessarily be a bird, it's hard to miss the Weeping Crow and their dislike of each other— Though Ais only seems to be reciprocating the feelings as far as the demo's shown.

Another piece that might not amount to much is the fact that Ais dislikes seafood. Which might not share the same weight as Asmodeus disliking water but its a tidbit I find interesting...

Judging by the heavy influence from Japanese folklore, I found myself conflicted on the prefix of Ocudeus just being "octopus" and not a double entendre for "Akkorokamui" whose body is said to reach 120 meters in length.

How this relates to Ais or even Ocudeus?

Akkorokamui enjoys the sea and so the offerings that it receives—crabs, mollusks, fish—are often gifted to him. Which are also staples in seafood dishes as well.

By giving it back what it gave, this homage is often done for ailments of skin and limbs with heavy emphasis on mental and spiritual purification [The SeaSpring; MC relations mayhap?]

Depicted as benevolent with powers that heal and bestow knowledge, Akkorokamui does have instances where it is fickle, and its nature as an octopus means it's persistent and near impossible to escape without permission... [Ais and his pact?]

Which leads to my lukewarm theory that if Leander is connected to Fogfall in some way, could Ais, or more specifically, Ocudeus be connected to the Soulless just like Kuras is?

Those that drink the Spring water are purified in some way, as seen by the Crimson-Eyed Woman, however in exchange they become a group mind, and Ais is the host. [or is it Ocudeus?]

Because the most notable part about Soulless are the tentacles that hang from their mouths and the eyes covering their bodies—referring to Akkorokamui and how offerings are given to heal the body and cleanse the mind, could this possibly be a twist on the folklore? Especially the part where they give back what has been given?

Does one slowly transform into a Soulless after drinking the Spring water and if so, could that be why he's only a leader in a figurative sense?

The city where Fear and Hunger Termina takes place is called "Prehevil", which to me sounds almost like "Praha Evil" ("Prague Evil"), which is pretty right.
