thinking about how ortega can go the entirety of retribution with step being openly attracted to them. but if step goes to dinner w daniel and then confesses to ortega to bring a regene at daniels apartment.... he is just 1000% ready to step down. "you two are happy together, so sidestep and i will just be friends." ive been openly attracted to you the entire time ! we have been kissing for months ! i *told* you that i had been seeing daniel for coffee. and ! we had a thing in the past ! we have history ! why are you giving up on *us* so quickly !? why do you think i would choose him over you ? i want both of you !
why is ortega sooo. idk. weird. insecure. jealous. but about daniel specifically
like. the text is constantly like. "ortega is scared to let you go. they're scared to lose you. "I'm scared of you leaving me again," said ortega." but with THIS he's prepared to give step up !? ortega !!!!
Husk pointing a finger at Alastor, touching him, im pretty sure semi shoving him with rather disrespectful words, and all Alastor does at that point is giggle, amused that his "pet" is daring to talk back
Vs.
Mimzy, an old friend from even when he was alive, pointing at him, teasingly reminding him of exactly what kind of person he was.
And Alastor removing the finger off of him.
AND HE DOES THIS WHILE (tho he wouldn't admit it) TAKING HUSK'S ADVISE(after he terrorized the poor guy)
Can we stop for 2 minutes and love how (one of) the first Good Omens fanfiction EVER on Ao3 is about Crowley and Aziraphale getting DRUNK and trash-talking about GOD 💀
I heard that a fanfiction from 1993 (1993!!!) exists somewhere in the dark areas of the internet.
(wdym the first person ever who wrote a aziracrow fanfiction is probably 60 now ??)
but fuck does his initial reaction to the player beaming romantic thoughts into his head via weave make me wanna peel my skin off
don't get me wrong, it's cute, he's cute, i love it, its such a sweet bonding moment and I scream- but also when he has that initial shock and embarrassment before the elation settles in, it makes me want to die and that's not a criticism of him or anything because that is a very realistic and understandable why to respond even if he is genuinely interested but just didn't expect it
but as someone who is also very fucking awkward and rejection sensitive my immediate instinct every time is "Okay, swing and a miss, thanks for having me- gonna go kill myself now."
and I know he immediately goes like "No, no, I really like that- I really like this."
but realistically my ass would have already been jumping off the nearest cliff, like- all i heard from that narrator was the word embarrassment and I blacked out from shame, goodbye cruel world, here lies Snark, dead from wanting to hold a wizard's hand
a preview of my fic that i desperately need to finish:
“You see, I am betrothed,” Arthur said, making everyone look at him with wide eyes.
Lord Alaric blinked once. And then twice. He didn’t stop blinking after a few seconds. “My lord?” he questioned politely, glancing at the others.
There was a part of Arthur that wanted to laugh at their gobsmacked faces, but that wouldn’t be very kingly of him, so he cleared his throat with an assertive nod. He grabbed Merlin’s hand from his lap, feeling him stiffen slightly. Arthur squeezed it gently, stroking with his thumb. He then placed their interlocked hands on the table, so everyone could see. “I am to marry Lord Merlin.”
It was safe to say that there was a… range of reactions, if you will.
Morgana ended up staring at him and Merlin quietly, her eyes flicking back and forth between them to the point that it was even making Arthur’s eyes hurt. Gwen had let out a high-pitched sound through tight lips, doe eyes wide. Lancelot had promptly spat out his wine. Leon had done the opposite, chugging his wine from his goblet. Elyan solemnly slid over some gold coins to Gwaine, who had been smirking—and, okay, Arthur going to have to have a word with them about betting on their king—and pocketing his earnings. Percival had been teary-eyed, using a handkerchief to dab at his tears. Gaius stared at the couple with an intensely raised eyebrow, while Geoffrey had a hand to his heart in a way that Arthur couldn’t tell was heartfelt or scandalized. And Merlin was gripping onto Arthur’s hand, gaze boring onto the table and ears turning bright red.
Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral
Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.
Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.
Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.
