LAST TWILIGHT – T-SHIRTS, SHAKESPEARE AND ANGELS IN DISGUISE

So this reblog by @callipigio (linked here) about a certain English bookshop on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris reminded me about a t‑shirt Day was wearing (from Thai clothing shop Frank! Garçon) in Last Twilight Ep.5:

Is that why you posted it, @callipigio? Because if it was random it's an amazing coincidence! 🤩 I can tell from your posts that you're as enamored with Last Twilight as I am, and this is like the universe telling us it agrees with our appreciation for the series. 💖

Anyway the photo that @callipigio posted (by photographer Dieter Krehbiel) is an interior shot of the legendary Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company. In the land of Molière the shop stands out because it's focused on English language works. Decades after its inception, according to Wikipedia: "...it continues to serve as a purveyor of new and second-hand books, as an antiquarian bookseller, and as a free reading library open to the public."

Here's the photo:

The shop's motto, "Be Not Inhospitable to Strangers Lest They Be Angels in Disguise", is immortalized on the wall above the entrance to the reading library of this iconic Parisian institution.

Remembering how Day identifies with French author Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince (who is sort of an itinerant interplanetary angel), and how Mhok has become like a guardian angel to Day as he navigates the world sightless, the bookstore's motto is also perhaps a reminder to our boys about how their initial hostilities were more than misplaced, because each has swooped into the other's life to fill a void with his own special gift.

Earthbound angels indeed... 💖

‌

Paging @dribs-and-drabbles because it's another Thai BL t-shirt and you're the t‑shirt maestro and record-keeper extraordinaire for this! 🤩

hi uncle nina! it's my birthday today and u don't have but will u pretty plz consider reposting that part of ch6 of rm where raven in on the phone with kenny b4 his hate with jers? i thought it was super cute and i really wanted to read it :3

awwww, happy birthday, darling! i hope it's as lovely as you are!

and i--sigh.

okay.

i hate complicated feelings surrounding chapter six ( aka the introduction to the iconique ravesey hate that i deleted from stress ) because i actually did love it...i just rushed the hell out of it, didn't plan it out very well and it was a mess. it could have been a lot better.

part of why i deleted it was actually because of that ravenstan/kenny phonecall because i felt worried that i revealed too much about how not cool and actually boy-failure-y stan was too early and could have kept the suspense going longer but aaaaaa i just wanted y'all to see how CUTE he was, like??? and how nervous! AAAA!!!

buuut considering the cat has been out of the bag, or rather, the raven has flown the nest for some time now...and it's the beauteous day you were born...i will humbly present you with this b-day present in the form of my incompetent idiot girl ramblings/writings, though, i fear it is not at all as grand the gift of your life is.

so, without further ado darlings, here is the endearing, embarrassing phone call ( it was over discord actually ) that ravenstan had with kenny prior to showing up to blondie's for his little hate-date with jerseykyle. it's a mess and unedited, but regardless, please know that from whatever hurts or harms you, i hope you heal, please rem(ember) to smile, pendejos,

and to now, as always, angels:

please enjoy the very, very...

worst part of your day. ;)

mmmmmm listening to murder ballads of 1816: the year without a summer by american murder song and...i think it sparked some inspiration for a supernatural western original storyline where syb would make a good protagonist

[sweetberrylover]

Can you tell me what was in the Valentine's day story

OH brother I knew someone was going to make this question

Obvious spoilers for the new Plastic man Valentine story from “How To Lose A Guy Gardner In 10 Days”

Basically most people are mad at how bad the characterization of plas is in that story that basically treated him as shallow doofus that EVERYONE hates for no good reason that has to learn a big lesson at the end of the story

So like imagine Joe Kelly levels of bad writing but atleast in this one they didn’t make him a pervert THANK GOD ( although they still make him kind of a horndog and there is a part in particular where he ask Wonder Women out and it’s cringy to say the least )

Also the design they gave him is just… mh not great

( Here’s examples of what I’m talking about so yk I’m just making this up )

It really sucks not only because of how all the waiting we did just for it not be good but also because there really was something you could have done with this concept that would actually be good with Plas

Plastic man is a character that does infact has a history of bad luck in romance mostly because back in the Golden age he seemed pretty uninterested and even scared of woman and in the modern age any love interest he has had is a cardboard girl that’s only exists to give him children or to cause conflict ( in summary most of his love interests are non-existence or straight up abusive/toxic)

Having a story explore his bad luck with romance or a story exploring him dealing with a bad relationship would be very interesting and great development but unfortunately that’s not what happened here. Everybody mistreats him for little to no reason, they paint him as shallow womanizer and throughout the story he hits on a women who turn him down multiple times and also he thinks she’s is married for most of it which obviously paints him in such a bad light

For some odd reason not only does everyone around Plas treat him like trash ( Batman starting to date Plastic mans girlfriend after she basically cheats on Plas all the time and Wonder Woman not knowing who he even is EVEN THOUGH PLAS HAS BEEN IN THE JL FOR A LONG WHILE ) and somehow that’s his fault but also the writers forget the two big things about him is 1 his supposed to be heroic and 2 his supposed to actually be a character and not just a gag joke

Im summary it’s just not that interesting or good. It’s not offensively bad as Joe Kelly or Mark Waid writing but the reason people dislike so much it’s cause we have seen this song ad dance over and over again and it’s just tiring

( forgive me for the bad English or typos this isn’t my first language and I’m also typing this in a hurry because there so much I want to say but also ik I can’t make this super long )

Love his silly little disguise.

I feel like this is Crowley going “Look, Muriel! Aren’t my nails very angelic?”

So I saw that dude that Vivzie did (Adam dude who looks wack as hell) and was like "You know what? No ❤️" and did my take on the idea that was made for the dude.

According to this post that I found, he is supposed to be an angel that is a rockstar. His OG design looks nothing like a rockstar's so I decided to ✨️spice it up a little (as well as my take on how Hazbin Hotel would go (basically a reboot tbh-))✨️.

My reasoning for why he has those horns is so that he can disguise himself better as a demon on Extermination day, since he can't create horns by himself for his demon disguise thanks to the limitations to his power and body.

Every year he changes his human disguise so that he doesn't risk dying to demons so ye. Also, picture above is one of his many human disguises because his true appearance is really horrifying and he does not want anyone to see who he really is.

Also, something I remembered while seeing canon Adam's horns and concept idea: Rock music is usually related to demons, so I decided to play a little bit with that idea.

Reasoning why there is Extermination Day in my book? Adam wants to get rid of those beings who he deems are the reason of his downfall (Yes, in my book he is THE Adam) plus he is horrified that the humans that came after him have gone worse so thanks to the permission of God (there was a literal War according to the Bible, God is a Chaotic Neutral tbh-) he kills the demons in hell.

Btw, Lucifer develops a soft spot for the humans because he adores how his evilness still resides in the humans even after Jesus came into the picture but also hates them because they were the reason why he is down in Hell in the first place and couldn't care less if they were getting exterminated while Adam just straight up hates Lucifer and hopes to kill him during one of these Extermination Days.

Also, when he finds out Charlie is trying to redeem demons, he just laughs but decides to disguise himself and go down there to see how it's going. He finds it hilarious how Charlie, the literal princess of hell, thinks they can redeem horrible people, but also finds it endearing how she thinks that she can possibly try and bring out the good in people, demons specifically.

I hope y'all like my take on this concept and my kinda redesign on how Hazbin Hotel would go! ^^

Ok I don’t have time rn to go get some myself so if anyone has decent screenshots of Crowley and Aziraphael’s outfits from s2 AND if anyone has good screenshots of Gabriel’s outfit from the party I would be forever great full for you to share them…

Iwao was trying his damnedest to hide his nerves. Despite being married before, there wasn't this pomp and circumstance last time, and there especially weren't all these people watching him stand up here. [poorly-drawn-akira]

Seiko and Nozomi try to give him assuring smiles, though the latter comes off a bit more awkwardly. Tea is beaming with excitement, rocking in place on her heels. She almost trips over, but steadies herself.

The doors open to a small, but grand, fanfare as Minoru walks down the isle, and holding his arm is...

Mitsu looks just about as nervous, though a giddy optimism fills her gaze as she looks up at the groom. Her smile is heart meltingly warm, a shine in her eyes as her face remains pleasantly pink in her stride.

Before starting T, when I socially transitionned, I was surrounded by radical feminists who saw masculinity as gross and inherently evil, something to avoid, something to make fun of, something to destroy. The other transmascs in my friend group, sometimes, told me that they didn’t knew if they really were non-binary or if they just were scared shitless of saying “I am a man”. Because they saw this as a betrayal to their younger self who had been SAd and abused.

I saw many of my masc friends and trans men around me hate themselves, not outing themselves as men because it would imply so so much, it was like opening the Pandora Box. Even when we were just together, talking about our masculinity was always coated with bits like “I know we’re the privileged ones but…”, “I don’t want to sound like I have it bad but…”, “Women obviously have it worse, but last time…” and we were talking about terrible traumas we experienced while taking all the precautions in the world in the case the walls were a crowd of people in disguise waiting to get us if we didn’t downplay the violence we faced, or like crying and being upset and being traumatized and afraid and scared and to say it out loud would make us throw up the needles we were forced to swallow every second of every day living in our skin.

Most of us weren’t on T yet, some of us were catcalled every day and harassed in the streets or in abusive relationships nobody seemed to care to help them get out of because they were “strong enough” to do it by themselves.

I was using the gender swap face app and cried for ours when I saw my father looking back at me through the screen. The idea of transforming, of shedding into a body that would deprive me of love, tenderness, and safety, was absolutely terrifying. I knew I couldn’t stay in this body any longer because it wasn’t mine, but I also knew that if I was going to look like my dad, my brother, my abusers, it would be so much worse.

5 years later and I’m almost 2 years on T, and almost 2 months post top surgery.

I ditched my previous group of friends. I was bullied out of my local trans community. But let me tell you how free I am.

I was scared that T would break my singing voice: it made it sound more alive than ever.

I was scared that T would make me less attractive: it made me find myself hot for the first time in my life.

I was scared that T would make me gain weight: it did. But the weight I put on is not the weight I used to put on by binging and eating my body until I forgot that it even existed. It’s the weight of my body belonging to me, little by little. The wolf hunger for life.

I won’t tell you the same story I see everywhere, the one that goes “I started going to the gym 8 times a week, I put on some muscles, I started a diet and now I look like an action film actor”, in fact if you took pictures of me from 5 years ago vs now I’d just have more acne, I’d have longer hair and still look like I don’t know what to do with myself when I take selfies.

But the sparkle in my eyes, my smile, tell the whole story way better than this long ass stream of words could ever.

I want to say some things that I wish someone told me before starting medically transitionning.

It’s okay to take your time. It’s your body, it’s your journey, if you don’t feel comfortable taking full doses and want to go slow, the only voice you need to listen to is your own. Do what feels right.

If you feel overwhelmed, it’s okay to take a break, it’s okay to ask for support.

Trans people are holy. Everyone is. You didn’t lose your angel wings when you came out because you want to be masculine. You are not excluded from the joy of existence, from being proud of yourself, from being sad, from being scared, from being angry. The emotions and feelings you allowed yourself to feel while processing what you experienced when you grew up as a girl and was seen as a woman are still as valid as before. Nobody can take that from you. If someone tries to, don’t let them.

It’s perfectly normal to grieve some things you were and had before you started to transition, like your high soprano voice or even your chest. Hatching is painful. You can find comfort in things that don’t feel right, so making the decision to change can be incredibly scary and weird and you deserve to be heard and supported through this. Wanting top surgery doesn’t make the surgery less intense, less terrifying, less painful to recover from. When it becomes too much you have the right to take a break and take some deep breaths before going on.

You don’t have to have a radical, 180° change for your transition to be acceptable or valid or worthy of praise. Look at how far you’ve come already. It doesn’t have to show, you’re not made to be a spectacle, you’re human and it is your journey.

Oh, and last thing, you know when some people say “Oh this trans person has to grow out of the cringy phase where you think that you can write essays about being trans or transitionning or just their experience because it’s weird” ? If you ever hear this or see this online, remember all the people whose writing you read and, even if they were not professional writers, helped you more than any theorists did ? If you want to write, do it. It won’t be a waste. It can help people. Or it won’t, and even then, if it helped you, that’s enough.

Love every of my trans siblings, take care of yourselves. You deserve the world.

We know Castiel is based on Cassiel the archangel but my favorite little headcanon is that he was the archangel Cassiel.

He was created as the angel of Saturday, patron of the vulernable and the overlooked, the angel of tears, angel of temperance.

But that was it, wasn't it? Castiel lacked temperance -- He could never be like the other angels, God hadn't created him to be a warrior like his brothers; Cassiel was a gift to humans, the angel of strife and duality, something so fundamental to humanity. The only angel who could really understand them. The angel who sat and watched, waiting to be called upon to deliver peace. Cassiel was God's love for humanity. How could God not know Cassiel would get too close, too involved with humankind? Maybe he did, but he could never know his own love would ever defy him. Maybe he could never know that whatever he burned with his divine love was also scorched with his divine wrath, enough of it to break ranks when he finally tired of watching Heaven play with the Earth.

So God punished him, bent him into the shape of a solider and named him the shield of God as a reminder of what his role had always been. But Cassiel was special, he would always be special, so he disguised Cas, protecting him from the persecution of the other angels. Maybe he even wipes it all from Cas' mind, gets rid of the memory of rebellion before Cas can hurt himself with it again.

And Castiel does it right this time. He stays just as detached as he needs to be, he protects only who he needs to protect, he does only what he is told to do. So God gives him another chance, another opportunity to prove himself with something big, the perfect task for his angel of the vulnerable.

Go fetch Dean Winchester.

What could go wrong?
