If you are gay, lesbian, or have a friend that you are close with but don’t have any attraction but joke flirt, here are some costume ideas

Jedtavius NATM, Crowley x aziraphale Good omens, bubble gum x marcy Adventure time, Gary x Marshall Lee Fionna and Cake, Bill x frank TLOU, Ivy x Harley Harley Quinn, Martin Blackwood x Jon sims Magnus Archives, Ballister black heart x ambrosius goldenloin Nimona, Luz x amity The Owl House, mobius x Loki Loki.

Don’t ask why Owen Wilson is apart of two non official gay relationships, hope this helps.

If Gary (having a big fat crush on Ash lol) is sent to TWSTD to help Ash on her mission and he realizes how shitty she's been living in an abandoned dorm that's a threat to her health he's like "WTF?" wondering how she managed to live in a dump like this. (Internally wanting to strangle Crowley for doing this to Ash). Ash just shrugs before saying: Ash: Believe me, it was in a much worse state when I arrived.🙄 Gary: Wait, what? *WTF part 2* You mean it was worse than it is now?! Ash: Yup!😑I literally needed Gengar to help me up and down the stairs so I wouldn't hurt myself with the rotten wood giving way when I stepped on it, the first time wasn't pleasant at all. (Screw his tsundere side, Gary is ready to throw hands.)

i've actually been having a bunch of ideas and thinking of ways to incorporate Gary into twst (especially Gary with a crush) and this is probably the funniest thing i've read jdbjsbc

Gary is actually appalled at Ash and her living situation and 100% orders Umbreon to attack on sight XD

Arachnophobia Warning

@truth-snake asked:

I found this in the garden. I’m naming him Gary and he’s living in the garden. He’s staying. Isn’t he cute? He’s half as big as Grim. @cherrypieola come to Ramshackle and meet ur godson.

[Picture of a large spider that I'll share under the cut - read more.]

Oh, also…

@disgruntled-prince I’d stop falling asleep in the botanical garden bc I’ll be taking Gary for walks there. Isn’t he cute?

~~~

"You found it in the botanical garden? I would suggest not taking it out of the garden, Prefect. Doing so may disturb our delicately crafted ecosystem! It's rather sweet that you get along even with spiders! Do be careful when handling Gary, goliath tarantulas do shoot off hairs when they feel threatened. If you get any of these bristling hairs on you, make sure to go to the infirmary." Crowley answers.

Good Omens 🤝 The World's End

alcoholism

big powerful man in light colors used to be in love with a gangling depressive drunkard who wears almost exclusively black, but then stuff happened and they fell out horribly

ice cream?

Staged

these two exes have to thwart an apocalypse in which humans are ultimately judged for being fuckups by an even more fucked up entity

said fucked up extraterrestrial entity does leave but also after that the duo drift apart yet again and the gangly guy in black becomes a bit of a mom friend to outcasts

cellar descent

short scenes showing the world on fire

nostalgic soundtracks

one of them seems to be stuck in a world of his own and is manipulating people just to keep it going while the other just wants to resolve the plot and move on with his life

manhandling (not sure if affectionate or just worried)

Could you expand on your dislike for the Raphael!Crowley headcanon? I'm fairly certain I know why but your meta posts are always so thoughtful and articulate and I would love to hear your thoughts on the topic

Thank you, I really appreciate it! And fwiw I always enjoy reading your thoughts as well!

And yeah I'm happy to! I mean first I should say that I don't actually like, hate-hate it in fanfic, it's not like an instant back-button for me if it comes up, and I feel like I've seen one or two fics after season 1 where I thought it was fine and it didn't take me out of the story.

But yeah in general I just don't like Crowley being special lol. I like the book vibe where Crowley and Aziraphale are just two... not quite nobodies, given their roles in Eden and the spy allegory of the present day, but certainly not particularly powerful or impressive demon/angels. Crowley and Aziraphale's "superpowers," such as they are, are just their adaptability thanks to living on Earth so long. That's what defines them compared to the rest of Hell and Heaven and sets them apart as uniquely capable of giving a fuck and doing something about the apocalypse. Eg Hastur and Ligur are explicitly more powerful than Crowley, but Crowley escapes them by the skin of his teeth because he's able to break convention by weaponizing holy water, and he's familiar with technology, and more capable of thinking on his feet in general.

I like that all their uniqueness comes from living on Earth with humanity. It resonates with the thematic core of the story, it's fun, and it's interesting. Crowley now being able to perform super impressive miracles and casually resurrect people (something presumably not every angel can do since Aziraphale can't resurrect Edinburgh girl) and read heaven's secret files and potentially stop time in season 1 because he's a former archangel diminishes that vibe to me.

Another con of Raphael!Crowley as a headcanon is that a lot of the time, ime, it feels similar to lost scion of royalty headcanons in other fandoms in an unpleasant way - the way that kind of leans into the idea of someone being inherently superior and worth more by birth (or creation I guess in an angel's case lol). I don't think this is necessarily inherent to the headcanon, or an aspect I think Gaiman will definitely emphasize, but there is that worry lol, especially considering how gary stu-ish Crowley felt to me this season.

Like, why is him being a former archangel meaningful or significant at all? Why does the headcanon exist? What makes Raphael!Crowley different enough from Random Angel #2398!Crowley that it's even brought up as a character detail or plot point that excites people? And I'm not implying that there are no valid reasons (eg exploring why a high ranking angel specifically would fall, or to add some drama for Aziraphale if he finds out and it matters to him, or to add drama between Crowley and the other archangels, etc), but quite often the vibe I get from this headcanon is that Crowley's just inherently more interesting and cool if he used to be a high ranking angel instead of some rando, which is a vibe that puts me off.

Ultimately I just tend to prefer mundane origins to surprise significant origins, and stories about average people (at least in their own context, as angels or w/e) moulded by life who make interesting plot-driving choices rather than inherently unique and special people. And Crowley being Raphael doesn't necessarily make him special, but it does lean in that direction, especially if it's treated as a surprise significant reveal and yk, a source of superpowers.

And to be fair I actually have been thinking about directions this concept could go in season 3 that wouldn't annoy me, and one is to emphasize that archangels aren't inherently special at all and it's an arbitrary designation, and Crowley doesn't give a shit and anyone who does (like other archangels or w/e) is going to be painted as naive and silly and too into hierarchies.

And/or, yk, emphasize that "Anthony Crowley" is emphatically NOT Raphael, regardless of who God created him as. Choose your own destiny. All that jazz. Especially if the Metatron is offering him angelhood again I could see former identity and status being brought into play and held up as extra significant by the antagonists and treated as something to be shut down and dismissed by the narrative, which I would enjoy.

So yeah, at the end of the day I just prefer Crowley as just some guy who happened to get the Earth Agent assignment, rather than the mysterious only fallen archangel.

#also it begs the question of why no one recognizes him since he looked the same as an angel #but that's easily handwaveable. god anonymized the fallen angels in everyone's memories or whatever #or maybe they do recognize him and no one mentions it lol #marley on good omens #text post #good omens spoilers #(lol this is probably longer than it needs to be but enh)

Ash as a girl has a mortal enemy which is the worst combination when talking about how cheapskate Crowley is and that enemy is cramps (in case she has really bad cramps). Luckily her Pokémon are sweethearts (and they kick the ass of anyone who calls her a drama queen) who take very good care of her.

Ash: *suffering real bad cramping during her period* (because Crowley is a stingy bastard who didn't give an allowance to buy cramping painkillers)

Cyndaquil/quilava: *laying on top of her to help ease cramps using a fire type's natural body heat*

Torkoal: *allowing its shell to be used as a oven to heat something warm for her to drink*

Infernape: *just got back from Sam's store who sent her some snacks and chocolate*

Incineroar: *bringing some cramping potions that Crewel sent her*

Ash's other Pokémon: *Chasing Crowley around who came in attempt to dump more of his work on her*

(and if Gary is around he would be a tsundere while taking care of her lol)

Gary, taking care of Ash: get better soon, who else is gonna be a dumbass just to make me fix stuff?

Also Gary, watching Ash's 'Mon chase Crowley: GET HIS ASS!!!

Analysis of Crowley's and Aziraphale's "love languages."

A lot people are familiar with the concept of "Love Languages" these days. It originally comes from a book by Dr. Gary Chapman "The 5 Love Languages: A Secret to Love That Lasts."

The book posits that there are several different patterns of behavior that a person can engage in, in order to express affection. And, by the same token, there are different patterns of behavior that a person tends to interpret as being "loving" towards them.

The 5 Identified Love Languages are:

Words of Affirmation - expressing affection verbally, such as through compliments, statements of appreciation, reassurance, or love.

Acts of Service - expressing affection by doing things FOR our loved ones, when they ask for it OR when they don't ask for it (i.e. anticipating what they might need). Things like, letting your partner borrow your special car for a road trip, and then house sitting his residence and needy puppy. Or, tidying your partner's house after a big party, whilst he is out having coffee with some douche.

Gifts - expressing affection by purchasing things for our loved ones, or giving surprise gifts. Perhaps being very thoughtful in considering what objects they might want or need.

Quality Time - expressing affection by giving loved ones our undivided attention, and engaging in interactive activities with them. Going out to dinner, going on walks to the park, or just having quiet 1-1 time.

Physical Touch - Expressing affection by touching a loved one's body with your own body (consensually of course). There is a wide spectrum of these behaviors (platonic, parental/familial, romantic, sexual). E.g. lightly guiding someone with your hand on the small of their back as you walk together, patting their back/shoulder, dancing together, sitting in close proximity on purpose so that your bodies touch, hugging/kissing, and so on.

As you can probably deduce from the examples I've included above, in my opinion Aziraphale's preferred love languages are: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, and Physical touch. And Crowley's preferred love languages are: Quality Time and Acts of Service. And yet, Crowley was the one who initiated the biggest Physical Touch of their relationship. I will address that in a separate post!

Crowley and Aziraphale both share the Quality Time category, which makes sense. Time has been an unlimited resource for them, and they certainly enjoy making their time together "Quality." They give each other undivided attention; they do relaxing and interesting activities together. In addition, they have often attended significant and memorable events together (whether by coincidence or not)

It is also sweet that both of the Ineffable Husbands have picked up on each other's love languages. Aziraphale has noticed Crowley's acts of service language, which is why he says: "Rescuing me makes him so happy."

And, Aziraphale is cautious about giving Crowley compliments - he knows it is not the way Crowley prefers to receive affection. Aziraphale also engages in acts of service for Crowley, such as by offering to do the magic show in 1941, and by bringing him holy water.

In turn, Crowley knows how important words of affirmation are to Aziraphale, which is why he says things like "Doing good again, Angel?" Or "Good Job" - when Aziraphale calls him from Edinburgh.

Crowley also knows that physical touch is important to Aziraphale, which is why he never rejects physical touch overtures initiated by the angel (And….physical touch might be Crowley's 3rd secret love language, but he has been too cautious to act upon it!)

If you think of other examples of their love languages, please write a comment!
