#my friend and i were talking abt rotting but then i went down a rabbit hole #rot and decay in nature is such a fascinating subject to me #but also how it applies in real life too #i think in my imagination we are the ecosystem #so through the death of one part of us another begins anew #i feel like i am shedding skin like a snake #web weaving #web weaves #lyrics #hozier #parallels #art #quotes #shakespeare #decay #haunting #academia #stem #research #mine #rot #philosophy #prose #writing

“And the angel tablet - arguably the most powerful instrument in the history of the universe - is in pieces.

And for what again?

Oh, that's right - to save Dean Winchester.

That was your goal, right?

I mean, you draped yourself in the flag of heaven, but ultimately, it was about saving one human, right?“

YOU ARE ACTUALLY FUCKING KIDDING ME GOODBYE

The idea of Aziraphale falling the angel version of Crowley but that person is no more and then Aziraphale falling for the demon Crowley is eating my brain...

aziraphale fell for an angel who carved out the stars and when crowley crawled from his burnt up body, aziraphale loved a demon with scales and yellow eyes just as much. crowley fell from heaven and built himself back up from the ashes of who he used to be and aziraphale didn't even blink before loving him with his whole being. crowley has the capacity to be both of these iterations of himself, he changes and sheds his skin and aziraphale just keeps loving him. the angel that crowley used to be doesn't exist anymore but that's just fine because there isn't a crowley that aziraphale wouldn't love.

#BRRRRRRRRRR #exploding over and over and over and over again #crowley sheds his skin #he dies and comes back wrong and aziraphale is right there to love whatever slithers out of the still husk of what he used to know #am i being dramatic of course but do you geettttt ittttttt he just keeps fcucking loving him #good omens #aziracrow tag #does this count as spoilers?? i feel like this is pretty general so i feel like i'm good but i forget what everyone knows #i swear to god im gonna open ao3 again to write smth about this i cannot be stoppeeddddddd kdjfnaowirhf #the ineffable husbands are being ineffable again guys sorry #crowley's constant changes to his appearance and even his name really are like a snake shedding it's skin every few months he needs to molt #<3 mwah said with love

i have an idea for a character design but what animals are usually associated with medicine??? the most common answer i got was snake, but i also thought of lab rats/mice, rabbits etc

#snake has the longest history with medicine especially since its shown on the rod of asclepius and the myths around venom #i also didnt know this but their shedding skin is referenced as symbols of rebirth and growth while their appearance resembles an #umbilical cord which gives it a really strong connection to health in some cultures.. although if i had to think abt modern medicine and #pharmacies the first thing i think of is white lab mice like pinky and the brain. for some reason i also thought of rabbits #bc of how its used for anti animal testing logos but thats more loose. however i did learn that the jade rabbit is shown to #use a pestle and mortar to create medicine in some stories so that could work...???? but its not as well known i think #i also thought of possums but that was more of an irony thing. same for bats but both are ironically really resistant to disease and act #as carriers. a death symbol like vultures or ravens/crows might work with a plague doctors mask but i feel #like that isnt the vibe im going for. black cat would be interesting considering superstition but im also on the fence abt that #actually what else is associated with medicine?? normally its stuff like pills crosses bandaids syringes etc #doctors coats and gloves.. especially plague doctor masks or medical masks in general but not much else huh #hand sanitizer and tissues.. pill bottles... blue nurse uniforms.. gauze and casts with signed names... hmmmm/......... #nurse dresses..??? sure?? i also see scalpels and knives but thats more for like. horror doctors for scary stories #im going for cute maybe even regular ass doctor vibe. like harvey sdv. or tony tony chopper #yapping

was doing some reading on medieval bestiaries and, hear me out

Stags in bestiaries are associated with Christ, since when running they are said to run to “Christ, the true spring”. They also trample upon their enemy, the snake, who represents the Devil.

with TOH’s subversion of how witches and hierophants are traditionally regarded, i just think it’s neat :)

#OH THEY BOTH ALSO HAVE THEMES OF SHEDDING WITH DIFFERENT CONNOTATIONS #the infirm stag sheds its antlers and is rejuvenated the cunning snake sheds its skin to further grow and scheme #which 👀 #oh also fun thing is a lot of medieval snakes have little cat like ears on em just like stringbean #i know it’s coincidence but i think it’s fun to analyse this kinda shit #the owl house #toh #luz noceda #emperor belos #phillip wittebane

I don't regret anything

#my bullshit #the sims 2 #ts2 #strangetown #nervous subject #stink death boy #pascal curious #papa manlet #When I saw the original I thought of these two #shit post #I think about Nervous shedding his skin like a snake whenever he physically ages faster than normal due to his reaper genes #That boy ain't right

it’s like, sure, animorphs is about not being able to recognize yourself in the mirror [because you are now a bird/bat/cat/mole/flea] but more than that it’s about not being able to recognize yourself in the mirror [because you are now robbed by trauma of your old hobbies, your old worries, your old ability to sleep at night]. it’s about shedding skin [snakes] but also about shedding skin [your prewar self lying discarded at the foot of your bed]. you know.

#i don't think they ever actually experience skin-shedding as snakes but i like a consistent metaphor #it works in spirit. #animorphs

princess tutu is so delicately written so finely constructed like a beautiful intricate music box where every cog fits perfectly into every other cog and every spike on the roller is in place and not one detail lacking not one detail too many and emotion is handled with such care and precision. weeps wails throws up etc

#this cranky hag rewatched eps 12-13 and shed her skin like a snake #literally would not change one thing about it. except maybe make the animation less jerky #mari rambles #princess tutu

bitches cant be normal about fic writing they'll watch something silly and not meant to be taken seriously "hmmmm yes but have you thought about the horrific implications of living through such an event" and proceed to write the most fucked up shit you've ever read

#its me im bitches #cant fucking enjoy anything without my mind going 'well have you thought about the body horror of snake vampirism' #or 'hey if we apply this cute fan headcanon to this canon scenario it makes that event WAY more fucked up' #like girl why cant you just write something stupid and funny. why do you gotta make it tragic #dani speaks #but like fr the potential body horror of lair of the white worm #your body and mind being altered and molded against your will by an evil deity. literally shedding your skin. the cannbialism #the secondary fangs growing in your skull. having your mind merging with a higher deity to the point you cant tell the difference #the RELGIOUS TRAMA could you IMAGINE

(okay so this:

made me embarrassingly emotional, so… uh.)

leaning into a microphone like a teenaged boy in a band with his friends this one’s for you @mayescapade

#something about like #getting older and growing and changing and like #do y’all think snakes are scared when they first shed a skin??? #bc i sure as fuck would be #but also it’s like #snakes do that because they’ve outgrown their old one #no matter how comfortable or safe or lovely their old skin was #the new one will fit better #even if they have no idea what’s going on at first #and i think that’s lovely!! #snakes man #this may come as Zero surprise but i had such a fascination with snakes as a kid #anyway #i don’t write poetry that often any more bc frankly it’s ah #bad #but jude happened to fucking nail me right in the inspiration lobe of the brain #so blame it all on them #jail for jude #all this to say: we are all in this together #y’all 🤝 me #🤝 having no idea what the hell is going to happen ever #all of us are just crawling forward #slithering through the garden of life #hand in unlovable hand #etc #quynh spiels

I don't know what the general consensus on the How Will They Break The Curse Theory Department is and I am terrible at speculating (this show is smart, I'm dumb) but has anyone considered that maybe a possible solution would be for Nancy and Ace to just. die? Like. Just a good ole soul reboot?

Something about Ace saying "real love isn't dying for eachother" so adamantly and Nancy immediately going "then what is it??" like she's so sure that IS what real love means, kind of had me going why haven't we tried this? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#think of it like a snake sheding their old skin #you die and your soul sheds the curse #...no? #also because potentially Temperance knew neither of them would go down that specific path #because neither would want to take such a huge risk #don't mind me just spitballing here #A's rambling

Two of my best friends from high school who I’d consider Taylor fans but not really swifties (who also get all of their lore from t*k t*k 😵‍💫🥴) are fully clowning for a rep tv surprise drop and idk how to tell them that they are probably wrong so I’m gonna let them clown but one of them called rep a break up album and that made me woozy

#reputation is NOT a break up album! it’s shedding the snake skin #it’s your public persona made up by others vs your true self that’s maybe only seen by the person who loves you #LIKE yeah sure there are some break up adjacent songs but it is NOT a break up album #you can have 1989 and red for that let me have my angsty album #taylor swift #reputation #kate talks tags
