#obvious by the second half

[mrghostrat]

Author/Editor au: Crowley writing a love interest character who resembles Aziraphale and it getting written & edited & published before /either/ of them realize their feeeeeeeeeelings

Bonus points if it's a huge break from the kind of LIs he's written previously, like if he's mostly written willowy elves or women or whatever

i have not stopped thinking about all of crowley's love interests suddenly aaaaall becoming soft and angelic and snarky and b l o n d, and he's completely fucking clueless that he's even doing it. this has followed me from portland to melbourne and i'm still thinking about it even with a completely fried brain. it is the only thought left.

#ask a rat #editor au #like there was NO common theme between the love interests before aziraphale #what if #he didnt even bother with romance before then #but suddenly the idea of giving his action thriller protagonists a second half was obvious and mandatory and completely non negotiable #(even though he could not for the life of him tell u why)

Update:

As a writer, I’m sure it’s obvious what I’m about to do to gabriel and his gay boyfriend

#i feel like it’s obvious I die to maurices often #I blame it on ultrakill being my first shooter #pull up on my ao3 @nhi_theuserof_this in 5-7 business days to see what I’ve done to gabriel and his gay boyfriend #hint: I don’t write p*rn #random #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #you know I also feel the need to mention my hands were shaking for the whole second half of playing that one session #the 5 hour long session. because I played 3-1 immediately before this and spent 20 minutes on it #gonna have to shelve the transfemme gabriel fic for another day😔

galaxy brain sexuality understander. the actual law of the land considering marriage to mean that a woman is definitionally sexually available to her husband whenever he wants is basically the same as consensual kink, and handcuffs have been a traditional part of normie straight sex since time immemorial. also women in a dominant position is either a fundamental part of normie straight sexuality or literally nobody's kink, my own brain is not quite large enough to figure out which

#just bafflingly dumb on every level #also totally unrelated to the post its a comment on #anyway its (trivially) not intrinsically queer and is (trivially) not normie #which is obvious if you think for about half a second at all

can i complain about my life again promise you all won't hate me

#(i know everyone already does most likely so i'll do it and just feel bad about it but) #it's not that i don't love my family and i'm not happy to go back home to have dinner w them and all but #god after like 3 hours i'm already exhausted #i feel bad about it but they're just SO exhausting and this house is SO suffocating #i did it i left i did it. why do i still feel trapped #quite literally can't even stomach watching football rn bc i just wanna sit in the dark under my blanket and fucking. idk. cry maybe #and it makes it all so much worse that it's so painfully obvious my mum is tired and probably sad and surely fed up w my father (and my #brother to a lesser extent) #every time i come home i just wanna say sorry. sorry i left you. sorry you're alone. you're not alone but you're alone against the world #and she dismisses my worrying bc ofc she does and i do the same with her worries we've played this dance all our lives #it's just. how do you let someone worry about you when you both know there's nothing you can do to make it better #when you both know the source of the misery and exhaustion is inescapable #god i wish it was. like. i wish this was a movie. where people actually help you in these situations. where there isn't that BIG big big #obstacle that feels wrong to even call an obstacle but it will always forever make it impossible to do anything about the problem #i wish the people who said they'd help gave even half a shit and actually did (it was their fucking job) #going from sad to angry to hopeless to exhausted every 4 seconds i'm so #the thing is i'm not gonna stop coming back home you know? i'm not i can't #i don't even want to #but i wish it wasn't so fucking soul crushing every time bc i don't wanna keep having tiring tiring weeks #and then go back home on weekends and feel the opposite of rested #ok. i should shut up. sorry. i really don't know why i'm even alive atm #delete later #i never remember to delete these (when i remember to tag them in the first place)

not to be political but its always rubbed me the wrong way how some br*t*sh leftists kind of treat wales as if we in some way “deserve” being shafted by the tories bc they think we’re not progressive enough bc they dont know how constituencies and populations work and dont realise that rich decrepit english ppl are obsessed with coming here and buying up all our houses

#the only reason me and my partner were able to buy a house #was bc the local council has a scheme that reserves houses for locals #we had to prove we had a reasonable connection to the area #like living here already. working here. having family here #bc its SUCH a problem that ppl from elsewhere (england) are buying up all the houses #and often just letting them sit empty for half the year #like idk its so obvious that ~progressives~ have never actually paid any mind to whats going on here #and they dont HAVE to know about us #but if theyre gonna say ignorant shit like ‘wales is basically just small england’ #they could at least take five seconds to idk. ask a fuckin welsh person what their experience is like #anyway. cofiwch dryweryn

I have a thing that in every fandom I’m in if I get brainrotted enough I’ll draw the characters parents

#idk it’s like a thing when I do when I’m bored #like yeah #who made these mfs #not canon at all just for funsies #Maxie gives off the vibes that he lived with his grandparents I’m sorry #Cyrus’s parents did end up getting a divorce #it wasn’t soon enough tho #I would’ve drawn Lys’s dad but that was too obvious #if I see any ‘hear me outs’ on Lys’s mom tho #ur on thin ice /j /nsrs /lh #maybe I’ll do a second part to this where I draw Archie’s and like maybe the others #I just really wanna draw Archie’s parents too #love that in my headcanon half of these guys are dead #rip Maxie’s grandma and Lys’s mom #haven’t decided if Cyrus’s parents are dead or not #PokéVillains #pokevillains #Pokémon #how tf else do I tag this #can I tag the guys if it’s their parents???? #do I tag these as ocs??? #eh who knows #rainbowpufflez art tag

I wish twdg explored more on how though human beings can become closer through awful times…..sometimes that’s not always the case

#I mean I know they technically do that in the games but it feels half-ssed #I feel like they could’ve made that comparison with comparing clementines new group in season 2 to her old one #and have internal turmoil over why her first group couldn’t get along like these guys #why they couldn’t stop arguing for two seconds why they wanted each other dead most of the time #why they coudnt stand being in the same presence of each other and wishing they could just leave without the threat of death #and also make a comparison on how much worse it could’ve gotten with season 3 #show a group or town that is worse then both her groups #to really drive in the complication of something like this #and then with season 4 bring in a group that’s smart but naive maybe inexperienced #that way you can have all different types of groups to really round out humanity and how different people react in situations like this #and heck for the extras bring in more group dynamics that range from toxic to somewhat manageable #cause in the end twdg is about humans and humanity and how terrible it can really get BECAUSE of them #so why not drive that home fully #just a thought #my stuffy stuff #twdg #ideas #opinions #text #to add depth have that group not be as perfect as they seem let them have flaws that are and aren’t glaringly obvious to the character #have a character finally show their true colors and decide if it’s worth it or not(kinda like lily but less stupid) #idk I feel like it could’ve been cool #probably wouldn’t work as a long game though(then again the actual games aren’t that long to begin with)

THEY USED THE LIVING TOMBSTONE SONG FOR THE CREDITS HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUTOMATIC 5 STARS

#babbling #i just watched five nights at freddys and i LOVED it #dude when that song came out i listened to it… a lot #its a banger okay #i havent looked into the lore after like the second game #but it actually stayed pretty true to the lore i know from the first game #there were obvious liberties taken but im not mad at all #i actually fucking cried because im a loser baby who apparently cries at EVERYTHING now #but holy shit fnaf always made me feel so unsettled because those are CHILDREN #and so when i saw actual kids i just kinda had no chance of getting through the movie without waterworks #abby was absolutely phenomenal #i really appreciate camp and im so glad they didnt try to do a full gritty style and try to take it too seriously #so anyway yes full review is that it was very good #mattpatt deducted half a star but also added it back because of the shear dedication to the history of this series #and then the living tombstone just sent it into full masterpiece #thank you for coming to my ted talk #OH AND MATTHEW LILLARD #that set it automatically to 5 stars before all my other bs #i love that man and emma tammi is now my hero

ok all of first screaming and crying over the new update etc etc. all of SECOND quick lore question(s) about blood pacts! (forgive me if there is a codex entry i overlooked just point me that way and i will head on over lol) how are they perceived culturally? i can’t quite tell from the flavor text when clem makes a deal with you if it’s intended to come off as “fairly standard/commonplace practice, if a little unusual in the specific context” vs “immediately very strange/extreme”? basically, How Weird is it supposed to be that clem offers that to you? is there any circumstance where it’s normal/expected to see them used? are all blood pacts magically binding? are there differences in cultural perception in the north vs south? upper class vs lower class? thanks!

the handshake is pretty universal; i actually had a conversation planned with Clem while you walked to the isolation district, but i had to cut it for pacing (and i plan to have a similar conversation later instead now) so there isn't really any indication in game yet, aside from the hunter's reaction when Clem offers it.

in the codex entry for magic, blood magic is briefly touched on and how in certain instances it's "allowed," like healing magic. the handshake is similar, it's just treated like signing a contract, and like you see here in this conversation most people don't even consider it to be blood magic, it's become so disassociated with it. it's also not really called a bloodpact in game - that's just the easiest thing for me to call it but that name makes it sound more serious than it is.

it works more like a pinky promise than a "pact"; you can't intentionally break your side of the deal, and neither can Clementine. if you do, you can be injured/will lose something equivalent to the value of the thing you promised. this kind of magic is very loosey goosey; it very much is connected to the person's intentions and whether or not they are genuine. if something did happen to Clementine despite the hunter's best efforts, they wouldn't necessarily be punished to the fullest extent possible if they were truly trying everything in their power to protect them.

when Clem asks the hunter to shake on it in that way, they're basically ensuring that the hunter will not lie or turn on them, because now if they do there is the potential for the hunter to be punished as well. and vice versa, the hunter can assure that Clementine won't try to give them the slip without paying them again, so it's beneficial on both sides. it's not exactly uncommon, but it can be considered a little extreme or offputting in certain situations. it does actually make sense with Clem and the hunter - considering Clem just admitted to having never planned to pay them for their original deal, and the fact that they don't really know each other well, a handshake like that is an easy way to protect yourself when making deals with strangers.

and this is definitely a "working class" kind of gesture. rich people are too evil to ever be able to successfully fulfill a bloodpact. lmfao. it's definitely seen as "gross," demeaning, and insulting in higher class circles; and i would say far more malicious, too (as in if someone like Duncan wanted to make a bloodpact with you, it would almost definitely be a way for him to trap you in some kind of Situation) whereas a shake between two people just trying to get by together feels far more sincere and is seen more as just covering all your bases than trying to take advantage of someone.

however, all of that to say: when it comes to the trade with Duncan, the hunter doesn't understand what's happening, nor do they immediately get angry or suspicious of Clem afterwards, because what happened in the courtyard... let's just say a handshake shouldn't be able to compel the hunter in that way.

#tnp spoilers #this is stuff that will be explained in game as well like i said i just had to move the conversation back #but it is very much meant to be confusing both to the hunter and the reader at this point #i did put the handshake early in the game w little explanation intentionally #i wanted it to feel casual bc for the hunter it is and they don't think much of it #which i suppose worked since so many people were confused mdfnksjf #i felt like if i emphasized it people would immediately be sus #i mean clem IS sus but i didnt want it to be too obvious too fast i guess #this conversation will now probably happen maaaybe second half of the chapter? or ch3 #not entirely sure because i am once again fighting with the pacing lmfao #ask #pearsharks #lore
