Uh-
just found out my cousin (who lives in England) is in the art department of a bunch of shows??? And she worked oN DOCTOR WHO? AND HAD LUNCH WITH DAVID TENNANT???? and she just told me so casually because she's interested in the art, not the show? I mean, excuse me? She worked on SHERLOCK???? FOR A WHOLE SEASON?? She worked on Peaky Blinders and Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones??? And probably other things because she has a shitty memory and according to her everything is a blur?? AND AT ONE POINT SHE WAS LIKE: "oh and have you ever heard of Neil Gaiman?" And I was trying not to scream, because yes, of course I've heard of Neil, he's only my favorite author, I've only read like all of his books multiple times, and if you say you worked on Good Omens or the Sandman I'm going to lose it completely. So I said "yeah I've read a couple of his books," -you know, like a liar- "what about him?" and she goes "well I worked on one of his shows and he's brilliant i just can't remember which one" and i go "w-what do you mean he's brilliant? You're.. you're talking about his writing... his writing is brilliant, right?" And she cheerfully says "oh no I don't read books, I ment he was really nice and brilliant when I talked to him" and i go "WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT DID YOU TALK ABOUT" and she thinks for a moment and goes "oh! BRICKS" WHAT IN THE WORLD YES NO THAT MAKES SENSE YOU GET TO WORK AND TALK WITH NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN AND YOU TALK ABOUT BRICKS? NO THAT'S TOTALLY NORMAL I'M NOT MAD ".... it was what I was designing at the time, I needed to know what vibe the bricks should have. Anyway want to see the spinning fireplace I made for doctor who" WHAT THE FUCK.
@neil-gaiman do you remember any brick conversations by any chance

Okay I've calmed down enough to maybe put this into words.
Fourteen's ending was so validating to me as an aroace person, specifically because they chose platonic love. Often, QPRs are treated as a last resort, a poor consolation prize for people who can't have romantic partnerships. But Donna has a husband, and while I firmly believe the Doctor is on the ace spectrum, the Newton conversation implies that Fourteen isn't aroace. Despite the fact that he could be in a romantic relationship, the Doctor chooses a platonic partnership. And Donna gets to have both! What's more, her husband and her best friend get along, they aren't jealous or competing for her attention. It's so rare for media to treat platonic relationships as equally valuable and desirable as romantic/sexual ones, and it gave me so much hope for my future.

By the time cars were invented, Jonah Magnus was already well into the body hopping game, which raises the question: has he ever actually learn to drive? Did this man sit through driver’s ed? Or has he just been getting out of legal repercussions for his shit driving by telling the cops everything he knows about their deepest darkest secrets every time he gets pulled over?

everyone can have their own headcanons that are fun to them etc. etc. and the gomens tv show characters are not the same as their book counterparts, and it is entirely reasonable to extrapolate from the canon given in the show etc. etc.
HOWEVER, since gos2 did NOT in fact give crowley a snack, I do feel the need to tap the sign:
Tumblr media
TAP TAP
BOOK!SNAKE THINKS EATING A HEAVY MEAL AND HAVING A NAP ABOUT IT IS ONE OF THE PLEASURES OF THE WORLD
If this must be reconciled with him eating nothing in the tv show, might I suggest snakeish preference of large and infrequent meals and little to nothing in between, or any other interpretation of your choosing
I just think this is important to keep in mind, thank you for your time

Happy Halloween!
Based on this photo by Chloe Atkins
[Image Description: Digital art of Kodira and Amber Gris from The Adventure Zone Ethersea, dressed as a vampire and werewolf. The background is dark blue and there is a hazy effect behind them, and a full moon glowing in the upper left. They are seen from the thighs up, both of them facing left. The lineart is colored to match the coloring, and it is highlighted in purplish rim light, brighter on the left side. Kodira stands in front of Amber and looks back toward her, her head facing the camera. Amber holds Kodira around the waist, and Kodira's arm lays on top of it and they interlock fingers. Kodira smiles, showing two fangs, and looks toward Amber. Amber is seen in profile with her chin on Kodira's shoulder, mouth opening up to show off her sharp teeth. She looks downward at Kodira.
Kodira is a thin older woman with cool brown skin. Her long and curly dark brown hair is in a low ponytail draped over her farther shoulder. It is tied with a red ribbon. She wears a dark red dress beneath a long black coat which is lined along the collar and cuffs. Her eyes are deep brown highlighted in a reddish tone. She has winged eyeliner, dark lipstick, and has blood on her chin beneath her fangs.
Amber is a fatter older woman with light tanned skin. She has scraggly light orange-brown hair that goes to her shoulders. She has wolf ears on top of her head, which are dark brown on the outside and fluffy white on the inner side. She wears a dark red vest which has rips along the sleeve area. Her pants are a dark grey-green and she wears a belt, from which a fluffy brownish tail hangs. She has freckles on her face and tattoos indicated on her arm, including an anchor interlocked with a venus symbol, and a nautical star. On her neck is a black smudge next to puncture marks which are surrounded by a dribbling red. End ID.]

more on michelin stars
I genuinely think it's going to be an important plot point in s3 re: why exactly Sydney wants a star and why *one* specifically. I went and researched and discovered something I used in my fic, which is that one Michelin star restaurants are excellent cuisine that normal people can still afford. And that connected, for me, to what Sydney had told Marcus about how going out was so special when she was a kid and she wanted to share that kind of amazing thing with people:
We didn't really like eat out a lot growing up, so when we did, it felt special even if it wasn't.... I wanna cook for people and make them happy and give them the best bacon on Earth (1x08)
I'm so hopeful/convinced that the research they have with, like, Matty (the chef who plays Fak) right there on set, means the writers know that about what one star places can be like. And that it's meant to be part of this - more humane vision of excellence for Sydney, where their spot is AMAZING, but it's not a cruel kitchen culture, it's not only for the rich.
For her, it’s *part* of her vision, where she says: 
“I think this place could be so different from all the other places we've been at. But, in order for that to be true, we need to run things different.“ (1x03)
But Carmy sees a star and all it means (all he’s ever known it to mean) as a repudiation of that kind of humanity. You say the word "star" and immediately Carmy goes "fuck stars" (2x01) as pure self-defense - because stars are just pain and suffering to him. They're NYC chef and everything that mess became.
He's so traumatized by the whole thing he doesn't think to ask the right questions: why do you want one? What is your vision for it? Why do you specifically want *one* instead of two or three? What timeline do you have in mind for getting there and how can we strategize on this together?
Instead, because he wants so desperately to please her, despite that instinctive, self-defensive "fuck stars" he relents and asks - okay, are you sure? Are you positive this is what you want? Really?? It's terrible. It's just dread and fear and throwing up every day before work. You really want me to give you this?
(I’ll give you anything you want)
He never asks the right questions. Just assuming the level of pain which is his only experience of this is what the thing IS--playing into that theme about how people only know what they're taught, only know what they are given, and if we are given pain and patterns of it it is so hard to even imagine things can be different and, when you can imagine it, still so hard to actually get there.
(It’s not a coincidence that the ASL sign is one of the few positive, healthy examples of kitchen culture Carmy witnessed - we only know what we’re taught, and it can be hard work to even figure out what “not shitty” IS let alone doing it)
So he's assuming all of that and it's like - if she's his CDC, does she want him to push her as hard as he was pushed? Push himself that hard again? He doesn't want to do either of those things. But that's all he knows. And she keeps saying this is what she wants. And he wants to give her everything she wants.
(In the same conversation she kept saying yes, this is what I want, she expressed admiration for the designer chef outfit he later buys her as a gift - he wants to give her everything she wants, even when it seems like a terrible idea he’s torn about)
I think this misunderstanding is intentional and it’s going to come out in S3. A one star restaurant fits so perfectly with what we know of Sydney’s goals and love for her work! And Carmy not able to even conceive of something better because of the patterns he’s stuck in and finding his way to her vision makes sense for him.
I think Carmy figuring out how this work can be joyful and humane is going to be a huge part of S3. Sydney not becoming lost in the high stress environment, not following in younger!Carmy's footsteps living a life of pure drive and dread, and Carmy finding that for the first time.
I do think that, given where they both end in 2x10, there’s going to be a period of conflict and a real bunch of issues for both of them - but with themes and ideas like this seeded into the story there’s so many ways to make s3 start out in a bad way and then really end in joy in a beautiful way?

"dark academia isn't strictly academia; it's the AESTHETIC!"
please explain what the "aesthetic" of academia is, besides Actual University/Library Buildings and Relevant Accoutrements
like
how can academia have an Aesthetic when it's not an aesthetic concept? it's just the abstract idea of institutions of learning
I understand calling certain specific academic buildings "dark academia" and not others. it's an aesthetic WITHIN the sphere of academia
but if there's no academia...it literally can't be that
