watchin rw vids where they assign the iterators voices hurts my soul quite a bit cuz they basically always sound so so off.. like what do you mean Moon's an american woman who most likely uses Instagram, is full of herself and is working on her influencer career... (that should be Innocence, fight me on this) why the HELL is Pebbles' voice so deep and macho, that is Not the pink baby fail boy whom I love to go moderately mad over, please I'm going to die cuz of macho Pebbles nuuuuurgh
they basically already have canon voices please listen to em, Moon sounds like a glitchy Hatsune Miku. when she speaks there's always a ghost of a smile shaping her words. she sounds curious, wide-eyed- ready to wonder and dive into theories. she's so unbelievably soft and comforting and like she would teach through playing games with her students. she sounds like someone who would clap her hands alongside the beat even if she doesn't care much for music. she'd run into a field and twirl her dress and laugh all the while. she sounds Happy, she's glad to be alive
Pebbles sounds like a suppressed nerd duck which speaks through its nose instead of the chest. he sounds like a tired smartass!!! there's this tiny rasp to his voice, but the kind I'd more blame on sadness than anything else. he sounds vulnerable!!! like he could be so easily hurt, like he's just a frail sprout but there's also a curt bite to it. he's like grass- thin, but that just means it can cut. he's frowning while he's speaking, he's exasperated, I can hear it in his voice!!!! get big macho Pebbles away from me he scares me

I know a lot of people in the fandom are angry at Aziraphale's decision, but I can't help noticing how much his return to heaven feels like watching an abuse victim return to their abusers/manipulator. The way Metatron showed up, tempted him with coffee, gave him the whole "Oh, I've eaten physical matter in the past, too," thing that sounds much less innocent when it's coming from someone who's genuinely trying to TEMPT Aziraphale with an agenda in mind. See, Crowley's "temptations" have never been with an agenda other than showing Aziraphale some good fun. Eat the food, it's super tasty! Drink the booze, it's really good! Crowley's more or less trying to show him how benign and harmless a lot of the stuff heaven makes out to be "sinful" is, while Metatron is specifically doing this to make Aziraphale trust him.
Metatron comes in, COMPLETELY ignores Crowley verbally ("It's just you and me now," he says, even though Crowley is sitting RIGHT THERE.), and separates him from Crowley, isolated him elsewhere to talk about his plan. He basically cornered him into making a quick decision (even though he said there was no rush; Aziraphale would have felt pressured regardless).
(Unrelated, this reminds me of a time when a family member tried to remove me from my immediate family because they thought my "upbringing" wasn't "right" and they ended up being incredibly transphobic and it kind of makes me sick to think about it now. Of course, Aziraphale's story isn't a one-to-one allegory for this, but it reminds me of it, and I can only think that Aziraphale has been swindled into returning to people who are going to try and strip him of everything that makes him him.)
I know I'm focusing a lot on this coffee, but the fact the Metatron is tempting Aziraphale from his home with a food item is not lost on me (and its coffee, which is meant to wake you up). But it's just the way Aziraphale asks "Do I drink it?" and gets permission from the Metatron like he's ALREADY BEING MANIPULATED in this scene!
The Metatron is basically tossing a flash grenade at him - coming in fast and subtle, startling him with a lot of information, taking control of the situation really fast.
We also didn't get to see the entire conversation. It's pretty clear, from what I've seen, that the Metatron is a VERY good manipulator. So, while I was heartbroken and upset that Aziraphale left, I'm also worried sick about him. And I can't imagine how Crowley must feel, too - because he has to know this, too. He knows heaven is toxic (he said so himself) and now Aziraphale is going back there. Aziraphale wants to try and change things (sort of like how Crowley wanted to give god suggestions, to make positive change) in Heaven. Aziraphale is going to fail. And Crowley knows this.
Granted, we can tell from season 2 that Aziraphale probably won't have to worry about falling. That would imply an institution problem. Nah, I'm more worried about some memory shenanigans.
Anyway, I live in fear. :)
(Also not thinking about the lyrics from Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie at ALL.
Because love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the (People on streets) edge of the night
And love (People on streets) dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves under pressure
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure)
