#which isn’t a good omen

[chronic-high-achiever]

I do worry for the people of this household

[crybaby-bkg]

“Are you ever angry?” You ask quietly, head resting in Bakugou’s lap. His thumb pauses where it strokes your cheeks, the far away gaze in his eyes suddenly snapping into focus as he looks down at you. He looks…different than you remembered, before you both were cast out of the pearly gates.

His hair doesn’t shine as bright as it used to, and it falls a little flatter without the halo pulling it up, soft. His eyes still hold that hardened gaze as a battle angel, but they’re deeper now. More sunken in and hollow, the flickering ichor now a stained crimson. His face is scarred and his hands are rough after the fall but he’s just—different.

“About what?” He asks, his lips pursed in confusion. You reach a hand up, stroking over his bottom lip, smooth a hand through his hair. You can almost feel the throbbing light radiating from him, can almost see how broad and ivory his wings would spread and hold you tight to him.

“It all. Everything. The fall.” You whisper, try not to shrink into yourself with the way Bakugou’s lip curls back in disgust. He pulls away from you and you sit up, resting on your knees, looking at him in such a way that his heart pangs in his chest.

His heart, something he’s never had a reason for when he still had his fists bathed in heavenly fire and no ounce of rebellion hidden under sinless skin. It aches in his chest at the mention of life after being kicked out with the only thing he could hold onto—you.

“Why would I miss my thoughtlessness? My inability to make a decision for myself? Why would I miss being a pawn?” Bakugou is all snarls, all snapping teeth and jowls, but it doesn’t scare you. He’s never scared you, even when his gait was limp from the impact of hard soil, and his hands grew rough, and his back grew jagged from ripped feathers.

“I miss it.” You whisper so carefully into the humid night, hands reaching for his own trembling ones. “I want to be holy again, Katsuki.”

He hisses at you, snatching away like you’ve burned him, like you’ve seized his halo and ripped it into two until it split into horns. Looks at you with such heavenly fire burning in his gaze that you want to shrink beneath him.

“Well—well I don’t. Find someone else who will, cause it sure as hell ain’t me.” You wonder who he’s trying to convince here, with his shaky voice and fluttering eyes and trembling mouth. You stare at him for a long while, lips wobbling at the gravity of it all. Your head hangs low, gathering yourself in your arms, head bowed to him—it’s the only thing you’ve ever known.

“Just hold me for now.” You murmur, eyes low as you settle yourself in his arms, forcing your way into his hold. “Please?” You tack on, unafraid of his bite, his snarl, his growl. Bakugou sits there stiffly for what feels like a century, but you’re used to waiting.

He gathers you in his arms slowly, pulling you into his chest, his body covering yours completely. And if you let yourself relax enough, you can almost feel the warmth of his wings surrounding you again.

Crowley: God didn't just break the mold with me after I Fell, she shattered it into places and scattered them across Creation. And because of that, there's some lovable dorkish Scottish DILF running around with my face playing all these characters who are absolutely nothing like me I swear to God because it's her fault I'm asked every time I go somewhere populated with fucking nerds that ask me if I'm returning to Doctor Who. I'm a demon. I'm way cooler than some ADHD-ridden alien in a fucking blue box who really has a thing for London for some reason. I mean, come on dude. It's really not that interesting. Plus, the traffic is terrible, and people get pissed when you almost run them over. Okay, but did I actually hit you, or did you survive unharmed with the lovely bonus of having your entire life play out in your head right before you think I'm about to send you to your maker (who isn’t really that great, trust me). Hmm? At least I know who to drive and take care of my vehicle. I don't leave the parking break on like a fool.

The Plants: *shaking* Doctor who?

there’s something funny about the people pissed at aziraphale for his choice in the end because they’re doing exactly what the show itself is criticising its characters of doing; not looking at things from the other person’s perspective

[universee-cityy]

i feel so rubbish and sad about all my special interests at the moment. literally all of my favourite tv shows have turned really shit, with bad decisions, bad writing etc. loads of my other interests have been deemed problematic so i can’t engage with them publicly because someone will inevitably tell me i’m a terrible person for engaging with it and i can’t even enjoy them in private anymore because they have just been ruined for me for that reason.

i know there’s so much shit in the world and i shouldn’t be moaning about this when there’s people all over the world in terrible situations, but it’s really hard to stay positive when all i see/hear on the internet or news is how awful everything is and i can’t even comfort myself with special interest media anymore because, as i’ve said, none of it brings me comfort or joy anymore.

really struggling to see the point tbh.

queer characters are allowed to die in media. and it isn’t inherently A Problem or homophobic when they do.

i understand that it hurts seeing queer people die in shows and books and movies, especially if you’re queer and you saw yourself in those characters.

but the thing is, if you want better queer rep in media you have to be ok with queer characters being treated the same way cishet characters are treated. and that means letting them die sometimes.

Bury Your Gays is a problem, I’m not going to pretend like it’s not. but Bury Your Gays isn’t synonymous with every death of a queer character that happens. you’re allowed to be hurt and devastated by a character death, but i don’t think it’s fair to act like that character death is part of some wider issue just because that character is part of a minority group.

not every queer story is sunshine and rainbows with a happily ever after. some queer stories are violent, some are devastating, and people die in some of them. and that is OK.

if we act like queer people can’t die in media we’re contributing to the othering of our community. it’s saying “queer people are this special group you can’t ever do a bad thing to in media because if you do it’s homophobic.” which is not a true statement.

we can’t act like every death of a queer character is homophobic or has capital I Implications about the writer’s opinions on queer people. if we keep pushing that specific narrative queer stories are going to be stifled. writers need to be able to tell the stories they want, even if that includes a queer person dying. and acting like they can’t is doing more harm than good.

you can dislike a writer’s decision, you can stop watching a show because of that decision. that is OK. but you don’t get to go around saying the writer is homophobic because they did something you didn’t like to a character you loved.

taylor x 5sos parallels - part 8/?

[mossflower]

literally this close to just filtering queerbait with the absolute state of the good omens tag rn

[lesbian-hannibal]

once again. my idea of romance had been irrevocably changed to become even more unattainable

[sonseulsoleil]

I know that variety interview was clearly done before the S3 announcement but DT being all “be careful what you wish for” and mentioning the moonlighting curse, of all things, is so funny. Buddy, this was a book. I’ve already gotten way more of this show than I ever anticipated. Season 3 is going to be the last season anyway. Let it end with them together.

Goretober Day 12: Bruises

[oh2e]

I am enjoying s2 of good omens so far* but I have so many questions. Notably:

Why does Crowley appear to be living in his car? Oh no I get this now. Crowley got fired.

Why is Madame Tracy now a demon called Shax?

Why is one of the satanic nuns running a coffee shop? I figured this one out. If Adam was always Mr Young’s son then there never would have been any satanic nuns to take him in ergo the nuns would have other jobs

*I have just finished episode 1

[cattatoir]

I mean honestly I love how Derek Jacobi portrayed metatron bc like it’s a master manipulation by Angel standards but by human standards (and probably Crowley’s) like he’s just really barely repressed menace and like…rage? disgust? Sure he waits til Aziraphale turns around to glare at Crowley but he’s not even looking or talking at Aziraphale with anything actually friendly

[musicalcompanions]

Maybe I’m in the minority, but I don’t Aziraphale and Crowley will mend their relationship easily. If anything I think they might even be on opposing sides (for real this time) for a considerable portion of next season.

At first, I think Aziraphale might be into making the whole Second Coming thing happen, while Crowley will vehemently oppose it and might even actively fight against it. It would serve as a contrast to all the times that they were supposed to be on opposing sides, but ended up working together (eg: Job and Armageddon).
