How did anyone even manage to fight this guy, bro went around looking like a kicked puppy 24/7. I bet someone had a moral dilemma for about 5 seconds wondering if they are going to have to beat up the personification of a wet kitten (only to have said kitten kick their ass immediately after lol)

Since it's Dave Goelz's birthday, here's one of my favorite Dave quotes of all time (from this interview):

"I like you, you're sick enough to stay around."

#muppets #the muppets #dave goelz #i feel like now zoot would be a good answer to this question #his shoe is jim henson after all #hc that he's aware of the performers on some level but doesn't think it's noteworthy or strange in any way #so he tells no one and just goes about his day

"And when the time comes you get the chance to really test the cut of your sails, and show 'em what you're made of, Well…. I hope I'm there. catchin' some of the light comin' off you that day"

Happy 20th birthday to my absolute favorite move of all time!!!!! My only regret in life is that I wasn’t born early enough to see Treasure Planet in theaters I can’t imagine how much of a changed woman I would be if I experienced it on the big screen. This movie is so very important to me and has consistently been in my number one spot since childhood it never fails to make me cry my eyes out no matter how many times I’ve watched it. I think as a fatherless child this movie is what sparked my complete love and adoration for found family troupes and child care animes LMAOO

If u haven’t seen treasure planet wtf is wrong with you!!!!!!! Go watch it rn!!!!!!!!! Genuine perfect fiction the whole movie is astounding (except Ben fuck you ben I hate you)

#treasure planet #treasure island #jim hawkins #James Hawkins #james pleiades hawkins #space art #space and astronomy #god I love this movie. so much. #i recently rewatched it with my girlfriend and it wasn’t even watching the movie it was just me reenacting it word for word #while I refuse to just let her watch the movie like normal 💀💀 #disney #i don’t think any other movie will ever top this in my lifetime it’s so fuckign good. #captain Amelia was also my first ever crush on anyone she was my gay awakening

De facto partnership

…De facto partnership.

In Metatron’s words, ”I've been looking back over a number of your... previous exploits, and I see that in quite a few of them you formed a de facto partnership with the demon Crowley”.

You know, English is not my first language, and I’m not a lawyer at any point, so I just was thinking “Yeah, this is about Aziraphale and Crowley basically being in relationship unknowingly for Heaven”. But today I decided to google it. And turned out, this term actually has at least two meanings??

I mean, the first one is something I expected, more or less:

A de facto relationship is a relationship between two people who are together as a couple, but who aren’t married or in a civil union.

But the second one?

A de facto partnership, sometimes called an “Ad Hoc Partnership”, is an informal business arrangement between two or more parties.

Business arrangement. Arrangement.

And we know that for some time aziracrow tried to position their Arrangement and their relationship as a purely business transaction.

And well, by the time of S2E6 Aziracrow being “together”, be it in romantic or any other way, has been a secret for no one for four years. And it is definitely not a secret for Heaven at that point. It doesn’t exactly needs “looking back”, you can just ask Uriel about them.

But by implying he knows about the Arrangement, Metatron is all but confirms that he indeed looked back over Aziraphale’s files – you know, the same way Michael did in S1. And he looked through them carefully.

What else he could see? I don’t know. But there is at least one thing that potentially could get into these files undetected – at least at first. One thing that both Aziraphale and Crowley gravely need to keep a secret from Heaven and Hell if they want to survive.

You know. The secret behind them surviving in the end of season 1.

And there is a possibility that Heaven (or at least Metatron) already know everything.

#and yeah Crowley already almost failed that one by revealing it to Jim #it’s a good thing Gabriel definitely doesn’t care any longer #but it doesn't mean they're safe #good omens #good omens season 2 #good omens s2 #aziraphale #crowley #metatron #metatron good omens #good omens theory #threat theory #yes i can see this as him subtly threatening Aziraphale between the lines #I mean I already thought he did it #but in this case it might be even worse than i initially thought #and well #aziraphale is definitely able to see between the lines #you can see how his face becomes visibly tensed after that line #he gulps his chin tenses and he looks away from metatron for a moment with his eyes popping

I would like to see Ed and Frenchie besties era in season two like: in episode five when Ed comes out all upset, Frenchie immediately gets it and commiserates; we know both of them are so incredibly smart and have a wealth of ideas for wreaking havoc upon rich people; Frenchie helps Ed with his musical performance in episode ten, suggesting that they spent time writing and practicing the music beforehand. Ed keeps Frenchie around presumably for his sewing skills but also Frenchie has seen Ed in vulnerable moments and met him with no judgment and I think there is an excellent opportunity for Ed and Frenchie to team up and run fuckeries together and enter their besties era

#Frenchie is a good friend and I think if they teamed up they would be an unstoppable force #Frenchie shows over and over that he knows how to survive in an array of circumstances #and I think that's at least part of why he's still on the ship (and Jim too) #anyway idk if this makes any sense but I think they'd be besties they understand each other at a level that's necessary #given the events of the last couple episodes #ofmd

Why does this sound so much like 1941??

“Crowley couldn’t escape the beard trend!! Somethingsomething he needs to fit in with humanity blahblahblah it was the culture at the time!!”

Have any of you concluded that maybe Crowley is just a silly little guy

#Maybe he wanted to look like a sea monster #At the very least he is just another example of a victim #of our detrimental impacts via our fashion #but I do not want to hear any excuses #dog knew what he was doing with that headband and goggles #god damn I think bro may have been going for mad scientist #aziraphale #crowley #good omens #anthony janthony crowley #ineffable husbands #jim good omens #good omens season two

the thing about the joker

is that - well, even canonically, he’s not actually “insane.” in the most canonical version of his backstory (bc there are many conflicting incarnations, but this one is the touchstone for a lot of later canon), he was part of a street gang before falling into a vat of Nondescript Toxic Waste that damaged his melanin production and That’s It. he supposedly “lost his mind” after seeing his reflection, which is absurd on many levels. no. he’s not “insane.” what he is, is an angry white boy.

the thing about the joker is that he exults in his own uncontainability. He laughs, because all of gotham - all the world - is built to be his playground. the only lunatic thing about him is the lunacy of ~Society~, to borrow from the joker’s own playbook; the lunacy of the joker lies in the world that grants him power: in the inheritance of loss: in white privilege, and what it means for everyone else.

“to prove a point.” those were the joker’s exact words, when he shot and paralyzed Barbara Gordon. she asked why: he laughed. “to prove a point.”

because that’s all he ever does. he hurts people because he can. and because all the power in the world can’t save him from getting hurt - and isn’t that just peachy?

because the thing about the joker is that he can get hurt. he has been hurt. but he has so much more capacity to harm than to be harmed. he is immortal. he and he alone will never have to face the consequences of the hurt that he inflicts on other people.

so then: why not hurt them? misery loves company, after all.

the joker is the embodiment and end result of our own social system: the madness of the exception: the laughter of the white man: the imprecation to smile, as he kills you.

(no one ever says it, i find, but it’s still true: barbara deserves to kill him.)

and who, then, is the batman? if the joker is the yin to his yang? if they’re two sides of one irredeemable coin, if they represent the “balance” of an unjustifiable system - who is he if not another white man?

because he is. Bruce Wayne is a white boy born into unspeakable privilege and forced to endure suffering anyway; who copes with his suffering by taking it out on others; who copes with his suffering, not by taking advantage of the world as it is, but by attempting to reshape it. to make it in his own image - as if it isn’t already his, as if claiming it further will crush out the pain.

the batman is the benevolent oppressor to the joker’s malevolent one. he changes nothing, in the end. two privileged white boys with their own respective navel-gazing grudges - where, after all, lies the difference between benevolence and malevolence?

because they are not “chaos” and “order.” not really. They are laissez-faire laughter and law. Joker exults in the disease of the system, Batman seeks to treat its symptoms, but neither of them will ever change anything about the root cause. because they may have suffered the faults of this system, but they still benefit so much more from it as it exists. Uphold it or break it, neither of them wants to change the law.

but the law is only as good as the people it’s made to protect. and who does that law protect, really?

waylon jones is, in one issue, explicitly depicted as Black. between that and his skin disorder, there has never once been room for his character to be any more than a monster: king croc is, always, a character to be violated and brutalized, over and over and over and still - always - written as the villain. (he tried so hard to scrape out a place for himself, so many times, in so many incarnations, and each and every time he finds himself relegated once more to the sewers. he will never be anyone’s king. there is no place under the sun for people like him.)

victor fries only ever wanted to save his wife, and a capitalist mogul decided a few extra numbers on his eight-digit paycheck were more important than the people whose lives depended on that money. fries’ body was damaged to disability by that choice, left without the resources to find a cure for his wife, and he robbed banks because there was no other option available to him. we seem to have forgotten, or maybe never really understood, why that matters. why a desperate man trying to save his life and that of his loved ones under the crushing gears of capitalism is a villain, and the one who stops him is our hero. why, under the law batman upholds, a bank vault and a CEO’s hoard is worth more than a life.

poison ivy just wants to live, too. wants a life not defined by the devastation of her body, of the beings that exist as extensions of her, a life where green and growing things are not commodities to be plowed up and poisoned and destroyed for the sake of another man’s profit. these are villains; they are written as such. these are their motives.

who does batman fight for, really? who is our hero, this emblem of our law?

is he our hero? ours, the broken and bleeding members of the world he claims to protect?

who does the law protect, except him - him, and the joker?

#i'm having another Moment over batman friends #this is not a bruce wayne hate post #for the record. there is so much to be said in a bruce wayne hate post about child abuse and authorship and diversity of canon #but this isn't about bruce wayne. it isn't even really about the joker #i'm stuck on batman. batman as a story. batman as a myth #because the myths we tell and the threads that run consistently through them despite the multitude of tellers and times - #those say so much more than people give them credit for #who batman is - who his villains are - what those heroes and rogues represent? that *matters.* on a level wholly distinct from comic fandom #because one of the few things that remains true of batman across his many incarnations and authors and settings and media #is that: he stands for the law. (except for all the ways in which he breaks it.) his only role is to catch the criminals #when he loses control and begins dispensing Punishment he must be drawn back from the edge. because that is not Batman #Batman is Jim Gordon's only deputy. Batman is the myth of the Good Cop #and the joker? the joker is batman without the law #this too is one of the few strains that carry through nearly all tellings. the joker is never his opposite: #the joker is him without a direction. without restraint. without limits. without control #and these things say a lot about the world beyond batman. about the storytellers behind him. who - to them - is a hero? who is human? #and who is a monster? the joker is a monster because he is lawless. because he is ''mad.'' because he looks Wrong #bruce wayne is a hero because he is lawful. a dark hero because he walks very close to the line of that law - but lawful still #and what is that law? what law do these storytellers see fit to uphold? for which characters does that law do any good? #which characters explicitly harmed by that law are disposable? which are villains by birth? #the fact that someone made the creative decision to depict king croc as Black in a 2008 graphic novel wherein he went cannibal - #the fact that the issue where babs was assaulted and paralyzed was also the issue in which batman sat down and sympathized with the joker - #that all of these villains are neurodivergent or queer-coded or intersex or disabled or Disfigured or just plain not white - #it says a lot. not just about the comics; about the world in which so many writers have crafted this consistent narrative of heroic cruelty #the world that accepts these as our villains. these as our heroes. it says a lot. and it *matters.* #batman #dc comics #linden writes an essay #linden's originals #linden in the tags

"i'm sorry, jim, but you did awfully well. have a rest now" aziraphale is so encouraging and gentle with jim because that's exactly what he wanted to hear from gabriel for thousands of years. even in job, which is pretty early on, though of course they existed before earth, he instantly knows when gabriel stopped listening to him and got annoyed by him. he just wanted to be good, to do well and help people but they never gave him any love in heaven and i think him taking in jim goes beyond his infinite kindness and on a level, has to do with him wishing he was offered encouragement and kindness he is offering to jim now

#I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH HE WWS SO GENTLE WITH BOTH JIM AND MURIEL HE'S PERFECT I JUST #even if i absolutely despise that he had to go back to heaven i know heaven never have and will ever have another archangel like him he will #make everyone feel welcome and loved and i just. he's so warmth and light and everything to me heaven doesn't deserve him in any way #good omens #good omens s2 #aziraphale #go s2 spoilers #go s2 #go spoilers #go season 2 #good omens season 2 #good omens jim
