#I honestly hope I'm missing something

Recently I was talking to another med student and shared that before my grandmother died, her heart failure had gotten so bad that her doctors couldn’t effectively diurese her and she ended up needing several thoracenteses. The other med student suggested that these procedures were too aggressive and my grandmother’s doctors should have let her die instead. And I’m confused, because these procedures were very much palliative in nature: it is painful to have a pleural effusion preventing you from breathing well. She needed surgery to address the valve issues causing her heart failure, but she was not a good candidate for surgery, so she had already foregone curative measures. Also, my grandmother did not want to die of a pleural effusion. I’m not saying her quality of life was good--it wasn’t--but she didn’t want to essentially drown to death. And I’m kind of upset at the notion that her doctors should have forced her to die that way. That’s not humanity, peace, or dignity in death. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something, but the conversation has left me unhappy.

Is anyone else with ADHD get kind of depressed whenever they don't have any hyperfixation at the moment?
Hyperfixations can be an issue when they stop me from focusing on important things, but when I don't have one I feel very empty and sad.

So I've already mentioned how I initially went all Kimlock Holmes about what Kinn might have forgotten at the end of ep 10...before realising that he might have meant Pete (when I read y'all's posts about it)...but...I'm circling back round to hoping that the 'thing' is something else because I just think it would be absolutely brilliant if it were.
Imagine...what if there is something important related to what went down that Kinn has forgotten, something which we as an audience haven't been entirely privy to yet and that will be a pivotal issue when it comes to the final showdown (which, if the trailer is to be believed, seems to be hinting at Vegas being the instigator)...? Something which has been seeded but we haven't had all the necessary hints yet which would make us guess at what it is...
I just think this would be fantastic...because forgetting Pete is a little played for laughs and I just think it would be brilliant if in the end we get completely clowned by the show and everyone unnecessarily got their knickers in a twist about how 'terrible' Kinn is when in fact he didn't forget Pete at all. I dunno. I have to admit, I don't think this will be the case because it's perhaps a little too sophisticated for the show...but wouldn't it be brilliant if it were?!
NO SPOILERS PLEASE.

I'm so used to stuff just working out last minute... I'm starting to get worried this time it won't. But I'm sure it will. It will be okay. Like always.
#ignore me#trying to find an apartment...#hope things work out but they are terrible for everyone else and honestly we got lucky with this apartment thanks to connections#but usually everything works out fine for me and we have a good application that we worked hard on#a friend did cause honestly she's an angel but still#i just wanna move closer to my parents#just wish there were more places to live for younger people#everything is too expensive and it's like the world doesnt want you to start a family#and that just makes me so angry cause then they complain about it but instead of making the situation better they just blame people who#dont want kids like they are at fault which is stupid!#my friends are not the problem they are the only hope i have#genuinely they've been so supportive and loving and i know they will love this kid as aunts and uncles and they will be great at it#my baby isnt even here and there are people planning gifts and wanting to start saving money for their future and i know this kid will be#loved and supported by all of us but at the same time I'm angry that the people before us had it so much easier and refuse to make it#easier for us! stop letting others horde the wealth we all need and start actually helping us out#you want kids but are not willing to put in the work for it and quite honestly I'm so fucking sick of it#like instead of building 2 room apartments build something big enough for the big families you want so much but that means missing out on#people to exploit so you lazy fuckers get rich but yeah sure keep pushing your shit conservative views on all of us to protect the same#families and kids that you refuse to support with your shit policies#god this went on a big tangent but in my defense pregnancy hormones are one hell of a trip#and I'm starting to get pissed#and I'm tired#but not tired enough

     @viciousbite​ sent: ❛ please touch me . ❜ //Akaza for Kaiya~           from: consent is sexy!
Tumblr media
     straddling akaza’s hips, kaiya takes her time tracing each of his tattoos. her touch is gentle, pace unhurried as her eyes memorize each line, curve, and corner; how beautiful he is, kaiya thinks as her fingers trail along the line that runs straight down akaza’s chest. too beautiful, she thinks, to resist trailing her lips along his tattoos next, so she doesn’t resist and kisses along his inked skin, gently nipping at his throat and sucking just hard enough to leave a mark... which heals as quick as it appears. 
     the demoness brushes her fingertips across the unblemished skin, a little disappointed. it would be embarrassing to admit, but she finds a small delight in the marks left behind, like little reminders of these moments. it’s a shame they heal so quickly.
     akaza’s fingers, long since buried in her hair, tug at lavender locks, prompting kaiya to meet his glowing eyes ( how pretty they are, like moons staring back at her ). 
     “ please touch me. ”
     a blush creeps up kaiya’s chest, along her cheeks, and to the tips of her ears. his voice sounds so breathy, a little desperate. it may not be the first time they’ve done something like this, but it still unleashes butterflies within her stomach to know akaza wants her, that she’s the reason his heart beats a little faster. a smile stretches across kaiya’s face, bright and absolutely enamored.
     who is she to deny him when he’s asked for her touch so nicely? 
     “ well, since you said please... ” kaiya shifts back, placing one more kiss to akaza’s stomach and hooking her fingers around the waistline of his pants. “ i won’t make you wait anymore. ”
     how sweetly she speaks, even after she’s rid akaza of his pants and situated herself between his legs. “ like this? ” her dainty fingers wrap around the tip of his cock, smearing precum over the tip and down the tattooed length. “ does that feel good? ” it isn’t like she needs a verbal answer when akaza shuts his eyes and gasps as her hand strokes up and down his length, but she hopes he’ll praise her. it’s enough just to watch him slowly unravel, but he’s made kaiya greedy. she wants to hear him unravel, too, listen to his moaned approval.
     that’s why kaiya takes him into her mouth next, humming happily when he buries his hand in her hair once more. her sky-colored gaze meets his half-lidded one, maintaining eye contact as she rises just to suck on the head of his cock before descending as far as her throat will allow. she keeps that up best she can, heart racing all the while to hear akaza’s grunts and moans. just like that, he tells her, flushed and still staring back at her, and kaiya gladly obliges with another hum that has akaza jerking his hips and nearly choking her.
     it catches her by surprise, but then kaiya presses her palms against akaza’s hips and hums again. if he really wanted to, he could overpower her easily, yet he listens to her touch, allows her to limit his movement despite the hitch in his voice as he draws ever nearer to the end. he is at her mercy now, by choice; that knowledge sends a new wave of heat straight to her core, urges kaiya to keep going even when her jaw begins to feel sore. she can tell he’s close, and all she wants is to see him come undone for her.
     when he does, his hand grips her hair a little tighter as if to ground himself, and kaiya happily remains right where she is to allow akaza to ride out his climax. she doesn’t mind swallowing his release, though it is a little messy when she pulls off of akaza. but even that doesn’t distract kaiya from admiring the way akaza looks now, chest heaving, face flushed, and golden eyes softly gazing back at her. her heart stutters when he reaches up, brushes a thumb across her bottom lip, and once again, she finds herself thinking he’s entirely too beautiful to not be kissed. so kaiya leans back down to slot her mouth against akaza’s, the taste of his release still fresh on her tongue.
     “ you’re too beautiful, ” kaiya sighs against his lips. “ i would give you anything you asked for you, you know. ” and then, somehow appearing equally shy and teasing, the demoness rests her forehead against akaza’s.
     “ so... would you like to touch me next? ”

#okay it's not like.. Bad it's just everyone else (bar maybe the person who apparently hadn't encountered html before class) will have made#something way better#plus i had a vision for how i wanted this page to look but i just can't seem to reenact it#div classes were refusing to cooperate and so were section tags so i was just like 'fuck this'#and i just styled everything by type (so making all the headers the same colour & font and then doing the same with the paragraphs and list#which i know is not the most efficient way to do it and the finished product is nowhere close to my vision#plus i know i'm probably going to get negative feedback for not using divs or semantics when we just learned about them in the last class#but they wouldn't work for me and it was going to end up being my thirteenth reason#i so badly wanted to show off but honestly like.... i can change this any time i want#plus it doesn't actually say in the assignment to include divs? just says 'include whatever sections you want'#well i want one big section okay#i have a header and a footer (which they wanted) and basic styling (ditto) and i got down all the basic information they wanted#plus i added lists and links which i think honestly shows Some level of skill#i think i'm just going to submit it. fuck it. i can always improve upon it later in the course#i would come back to it later this afternoon and see if i can get literally Anything on there to cooperate but 1) i don't want to look at i#anymore. i hate it and 2) i don't know if there's a deadline?? i assumed we had to have it in before the next class. which is monday#but idk. i could literally have already missed the deadline. i hope not#look i'm just going to send it in. if anyone asks why it's so bad i will just cry#crying is free and makes people feel bad. it is the way#personal

Pulled out as many Star Wars books as I could find from the loft, along with what I hope are the last of the craft books. Temporarily put the Star Wars books in their bookshelf (I'll need to rearrange it later to fit everything in better). Sorted through and pulled out the ones I'm going to try and get signed this weekend. Somehow lost an hour of time and don't know how or why and it's a bit scary so I'm taking a break and might just call it a day.

Aziraphale’s Choice, the Job Connection, and Michael Sheen’s Morality
Update: Michael Sheen liked this post on Twitter, so I'm fairly certain there is a lot of validity to it.
I’ve had time to process Aziraphale’s choice at the end of Season 2. And I think only blaming the religious trauma misses something important in Aziraphale’s character. I think what happened was also Aziraphale’s own conscious choice––as a growth from his trauma, in fact. Hear me out.
Since November 2022 I’ve been haunted by something Michael Sheen said at the MCM London Comic Con. At the Q&A, someone asked him about which fantasy creature he enjoyed playing most and Michael (bless him, truly) veered on a tangent about angels and goodness and how, specifically,
Tumblr media
We as a society tend to sort of undervalue goodness. It’s sort of seen as sort of somehow weak and a bit nimby and “oh it’s nice.” And I think to be good takes enormous reserves of courage and stamina. I mean, you have to look the dark in the face to be truly good and to be truly of the light…. The idea that goodness is somehow lesser and less interesting and not as kind of muscular and as passionate and as fierce as evil somehow and darkness, I think is nonsense. The idea of being able to portray an angel, a being of love. I love seeing the things people have put online about angels being ferocious creatures, and I love that. I think that’s a really good representation of what goodness can be, what it should be, I suppose.
I was looking forward to BAMF!Aziraphale all season long, and I think that’s what we got in the end. Remember Neil said that the Job minisode was important for Aziraphale’s story. Remember how Aziraphale sat on that rock and reconciled to himself that he MUST go to Hell, because he lied and thwarted the will of God. He believed that––truly, honestly, with the faith of a child, but the bravery of a soldier.
Tumblr media
Aziraphale, a being of love with more goodness than all of Heaven combined, believed he needed to walk through the Gates of Hell because it was the Right Thing to do. (Like Job, he didn’t understand his sin but believed he needed to sacrifice his happiness to do the Right Thing.)
That’s why we saw Aziraphale as a soldier this season: the bookshop battle, the halo. But yes, the ending as well.
Because Aziraphale never wanted to go to Heaven, and he never wanted to go there without Crowley.
But it was Crowley who taught him that he could, even SHOULD, act when his moral heart told him something was wrong. While Crowley was willing to run away and let the world burn, it was Aziraphale (in that bandstand at the end of the world) who stood his ground and said No. We can make a difference. We can save everyone.
Tumblr media
And Aziraphale knew he could not give up the ace up his sleeve (his position as an angel) to talk to God and make them see the truth in his heart.
I was messed up by Ineffable Bureaucracy (Boxfly) getting their happy ending when our Ineffable Husbands didn’t, but I see now that them running away served to prove something to Aziraphale. (And I am fully convinced that Gabriel and Beelzebub saw the example of the Ineffables at the Not-pocalypse and took inspiration from them for choosing to ditch their respective sides)
But my point is that Aziraphale saw them, and in some ways, they looked like him and Crowley. And he saw how Gabriel, the biggest bully in Heaven, was also like him in a way (a being capable of love) and also just a child when he wasn’t influenced by the poison of Heaven. Muriel, too, wasn’t a bad person. The Metatron also seemed to have grown more flexible with his morality (from Aziraphale's perspective). Like Earth, Heaven was shades of (light?) gray.
Aziraphale is too good an angel not to believe in hope. Or forgiveness (something he’s very good at it).
Aziraphale has been scarred by Heaven all his life. But with the cracks in Heaven’s armor (cracks he and Crowley helped create), Aziraphale is seeing something else. A chance to change them. They did terrible things to him, but he is better than them, and because of Crowley, he feels ready to face them.
(Will it work? Can Heaven change, institutionally? Probably not, but I can't blame Aziraphale for trying.)
At the cafe, the Metatron said something big was coming in the Great Plan. Aziraphale knows how trapped he had felt when he didn’t have God’s ear the first time something huge happened in the Big Plan. He can’t take a chance again to risk the world by not having a foot in the door of Heaven. That’s why we saw individual human deaths (or the threat of death) so much more this season: Elspeth, Wee Morag, Job’s children, the 1940s magician. Aziraphale almost killed a child when he couldn’t get through to God, and he’s not going through that again.
“We could make a difference.” We could save everyone.
Tumblr media
Remember what Michael Sheen said about courage and doing good––and having to “look the dark in the face to be truly good.” That’s what happened when Aziraphale was willing to go to Hell for his actions. That’s what happened when he decided he had to go to Heaven, where he had been abused and belittled and made to feel small. He decided to willingly go into the Lion’s Den, to face his abusers and his anxiety, to make them better so that they would not try to destroy the world again.
Him, just one angel. He needed Crowley to be there with him, to help him be brave, to ask the questions that Heaven needed to hear, to tell them God was wrong. Crowley is the inspiration that drives Aziraphale’s change, Crowley is the engine that fuels Aziraphale’s courage.
But then Crowley tells him that going to Heaven is stupid. That they don’t need Heaven. And he’s right. Aziraphale knows he’s right.
Aziraphale doesn’t need Heaven; Heaven needs him. They just don’t know how much they need him, or how much humanity needs him there, too. (If everyone who ran for office was corrupt, how can the system change?)
Terry Pratchett (in the Discworld book, Small Gods) is scathing of God, organized religion, and the corrupt people religion empowers, but he is sympathetic to the individual who has real, pure faith and a good heart. In fact, the everyman protagonist of Small Gods is a better person than the god he serves, and in the end, he ends up changing the church to be better, more open-minded, and more humanist than god could ever do alone.
Aziraphale is willing to go to the darkest places to do the Right Thing, and Heaven is no exception. When Crowley says that Heaven is toxic, that’s exactly why Aziraphale knows he needs to go there. “You’re exactly is different from my exactly.”
____
In the aftermath of Trump's election in the US, Brexit happened in 2018. Michael Sheen felt compelled to figure out what was going on in his country after this shock. But he was living in Los Angeles with Sarah Silverman at the time, and she also wanted to become more politically active in the US.
Sheen: “I felt a responsibility to do something, but it [meant] coming back [to Britain] – which was difficult for us, because we were very important to each other. But we both acknowledge that each of us had to do what we needed to do.” In the end, they split up and Michael moved back to the UK.
Sometimes doing the Right Thing means sacrificing your own happiness. Sometimes it means going to Hell. Sometimes it means going to Heaven. Sometimes it means losing a relationship.
And that’s why what happened in the end was so difficult for Aziraphale. Because he loves Crowley desperately. He wants to be together. He wanted that kiss for thousands of years. He knows that taking command of Heaven means they would never again have to bow to the demands of a God they couldn’t understand, or run from a Hell who still came after them. They could change the rules of the game.
And he’s still going to do that. But it hurts him that he has to do that alone.
