#oh God I'm babbling

[ineffably-idiotic]

the fact that crowley essentially says "one fabulous kiss and boom its sorted" when trying to get nina and maggie together, like that's how Love works. and his Last Ditch Effort at getting aziraphale to stay, to keep living in this comfortable existence they've carved out for themselves, to love him back, is a kiss. it's the most Human way he can think to express this love and desperation that is overflowing in him, because he knows that aziraphale loves humanity, they BOTH do. "to the world", and all that. "to us".

i wonder which kiss made him think of that. i wonder what historical event crowley saw, a miraculous kiss, and immediately realized "that is how humans love. this is what they do". was it in biblical times? was it from a romcom?

it's not even a GOOD kiss! neither of them have ever kissed before! its a messy smushing of lips and they're both shaking and crowley isn't sure if he's doing it right, aziraphale isn't sure what's Happening.

and aziraphale, in his fear, calls crowley's desperation "temptation". he forgives crowley for a sin that he himself has reprimanded himself for, many times over the years. its easier to blame his own falling in love on the demon himself. it's easier to backslide into an awful way of thinking that has kept you safe for millennia than take an unsteady step forward, a step where aziraphale isn't sure he'll have a place to land.

aziraphale is a guardian by nature, and what he does at the end of season 2 IS him trying to help. trying to protect, trying to fix. but for aziraphale to really break that cycle of running back to heaven for a secure attachment, he needs to realize how awful heaven is from the inside. because crowley sure as hell isn't opening up about what happened to him. because they never talk, and ESPECIALLY not about important things.

#can you tell i Just rewatched the wholw thing #anyways this is just a bunch of disjointed stream of consciousness babbling #i'm just so enamored with aziraphale and crowley's perception of love #i'm also deeply deeply in love with aziraphale for being a character who Isn't Perfect #sorry not sorry. nonsense in my brain > coffee theory #honorable mention for a thing i couldve babbled about? 'do it again'. because Oh my god #okay im normal now #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #gomens #aziracrow #good omens season 2 #do it again #season 2 episode 6 #the metatron

NGL: Stuff like Brambleclaw being a terrible namer is like. really fun but also kinda hits with the 'he;s not some meglomaniacl villain hes just a shitty guy'. like. you could see squirrelflight finding that really endearing. IDK if this is some mastermind shit, or if i'm just reading wayyyyy to into this, but i like how you give characters that are pretty bad dudes very humanising qualities. Especially when they're silly/cute. Kinda reminds you that like. theyre like. a person. well. cat but yknow. and they chose to do bad shit, with influence from their past, rather than being inherently terrible. 👍

YEAH MAN, that's what I'm SAYING

Abusers, ideologues, and other terrible people are not masterminds. They aren't born evil. They're not inherently smart OR stupid. They can love, they can be funny and polite, they do things they believe are justified and want to be good people. They don't think of themselves as villains.

Evil isn't complex. It's really, really not. I feel like that's the #1 cause of confusion when I get a question like, "Why does this person do this malicious act, when it's bad/inconsistent/mean?" The answer is always simple;

They wanted to control someone.

They wanted something and didn't mind who they hurt.

Spite and short-sightedness.

Look for anything deeper and you will not find it. Heroics are complex, being a good person is ongoing and changes over time. We're in a constant state of growing. Malice is childishly simple; it feels good to get what you want.

With Bramblestar especially... it always goes back to what I said here, when talking about the idea of an Evil!Bramble. He's a person, and you ruin everything that's so interesting about him by stripping away that nuance. Squilf and Bramble loved each other, truly, and legitimately. He can be charming. He can be nice. He still hurts her. Reconcile with this.

He is not wiser for what he went through, as a child. His pain doesn't make him better. Man's just a jerk... that's it.

#Sparkpelt deserves that scene from God The Devil and Bob #Where Bob finds out his dad isn't in Hell #And it INFURIATES him #If you haven't seen that scene btw you should. I really love that series #Especially if you're religious OR are like me where you aren't but are still fascinated by more human takes on biblical figures #Btw just... as a side note I am intrigued by how many of my followers are christian. It surprises me? I love you guys tho but like... #I really don't hold back in my critique of hierarchical religion #I'm glad that I am respectful enough to not alienate you guys though #I'm glad you're finding something meaningful too #I am an A-A-A-ATHEIST though with a hard ATH #I just never thought I would have so many religious people following along #OH BTW I hope all my Jewish followers are having a meaningful and somber Yom Kippur* #Bone babble #* = edited I'm an idiot

we're moving down the line of people i can compare Rimmer to, next up: Kitty!

most importantly Eleanor and his brothers and how they played ludicrous pranks on them yet they still talk like they had fun together, like it wasn't completely on their expense, and have it firmly stuck in their head that "we were just playing together" while the game in question is the siblings getting them in trouble with their fathers, and being in emotional distress, and suffering physically

i'm all but worked up already and sorry for that but their childhoods which they talk about like they're perfectly normal and fine while everyone in the room is left to stare at them trying to process the fuckedupness they're describing with a smile IT GETS TO ME OKAY

there're also the little tinges of jealousy and inadequasy they feel for being told the're inferior compared to their siblings, but still wanting to be loved by their family which makes them do things they really don't like just to gain a little bit of acceptance, if it's only by not being a bother by the bare forgoing basic comforts then so be it, it's for the family after all

#not feeling great about your sister death is the bare minimum i'm sorry but I'M STILL READY TO THROW HANDS WITH ELEANOR #bbc ghosts #red dwarf #i need to re-watch all the kitty episodes again i really like to torture myself #sorry if this makes no sence #oh god do i even want to think about kitty-lister parallers that might actually kill me #this was again supposed to be just one sentence. i need to learn that i can not stop babbling about tragic blorbos thai easly

It's just how gameplay shook out for me but I reached max affinity with MacCready helping a ghoul kid find out what happened to his family and MAN sometimes things that work out so perfect that you WISH you'd wrote it or done it on purpose 😭🖤 Two very sad Dads doing the best for their sons helping ANOTHER lost kid find home because they can't be with their own kids right now but they can help Billy, dammit!

#fallout #fallout 4 #fo4 #kat plays fo4 #Also oh my GOD Mac's lines with a successful flirt are sooooo 😭😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤🖤 THE LITTLE SOLDIER TOO OH MAN 😭🖤 #That's my BOY <3 <3!!!! #Two very sad Dads bonding over their iced wives and love for their sons. Also they're uncles for Billy now IDC how things shake out #(and I don't know how things end yet either) #I literally had to exit the game and pace around after Mac's soft ass romance lines MY BOY 😭 #Anyways Uncle Sam and Uncle Butch are looking after Duncan I LOVE the HC that the Lone Wanderer looks after Duncan #And while Mac went back to give Duncan the medicine Michael did a bunch of stuff building up settlements n stuff #And got to the bottom of whatever the hell is going on with Eddie Winter #it didn't happen in game but it happened in cannon. TO ME. #anyways back to playing but I NEEDED to IMMEDIATELY pace around the house after hearing Mac's lines in addition to BILLY #There should be more kid ghouls in Fallout cannon what a TRAGIC thing to be. Frozen at 10(ish) years old forever. MAN. poor kid. #(yes I did have Mac's story spoiled for me but like. it's fine I'm fine I'm not someone who SUPER cares about spoilers) #I would say I'm gnawing on the bars of my enclosure about this but I'm actually physically tearing them apart about this #AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #anyways this has been a babble

The theory that Lewis was an Oz is really interesting, but if it turns out to be true I'm going to cry from laughter because I remember hearing about a volume 1 theory that the reason Oz made Jaune the leader of JNPR was because Oz was Jaune from the future and the idea that they were technically wrong but the spirit of the theory could kind of be correct is hysterical.

#Annie babbles about RWBY #rwby spoilers #Wow it's not about the Bees #But oh my god the time paradox is going to hurt my head #The other day I was wondering whether there's a period where young Jaune exists at the same time as old man Jaune #I really have a limited idea of what the discussion in the fandom is about besides the Bees #I'm sorry but I waited so long for this and they completely melted my brain

Me: *playing R.aiden's story quest yesterday, super excited about the story etc.*

Also Me: *just takes tons of screenshots of T.homa* Wait- what was the mission again?

Alsooooo the two g.enshin bfs standing next to each other (pls ignore that Wrio is in "rage mode", he fought a bunch of h.ilichurls seconds before and hasn't cooled down yet- haha "cooled down" get it- sry)

Tbh I can't imagine how these two would interact with each other but they are for sure gushing about their girlfriends ❤

#;babbling phia #;phia plays games #;thoma #;Wriothesley #sky was pretty T.homa is pretty had to to screens <3 #However I loved the quest! Ei is adorable hfhfhiuh #now I'm super excited to do A.yatos quest soon bc this means... potential more T.homa :> #and also I wanna finally get to know A.yato since Nerina will probably interact with him a lot when living with T.homa in I.nazuma #I met him in the recent event in F.ontaine tho and he seems like a very polite nice guy #A.yaka is already very good friends with Nerina so maybe she will get along with the big bro too... #OH MY GOD WAIT #this last screen got me thinking #when Wrio is in rage mode Elowyn can soothe him and make him feel relaxed again #maybe she massages his temples or she just simply intertwines her fingers with his #and he goes *foooo* (insert cool down sound here) and is relaxed again #(today is a rotate ALL of your f/o's in brain kind of day)

Nothing like being super into something highly visual to make me mourn my lack of artistic skills ;_;

#i'd do a million variations on the channeling the weave scene ft. gaila obviously #i was just thinking earlier about how impressed and excited larissa would be to channel the weave in that scene #communing with her goddess in such a material way!!! #but also i choose to believe that earlier #gaila is injured (she's a wizard. it's going to happen) and larissa is like: oh a thing i can help with! i'll heal you! #gaila (slightly woozy): thanks. tbh i kind of envy you for just being able to call on your god and have that power flow through you #larissa: i hadn't thought about it that way but i /am/ grateful to mystra for her favor :) #gaila: uhhhh grateful to who #larissa: not many of the temple sages are actually blessed by her so i have reason to appreciate it! let's see- #gaila: um. i. uhhh actually i'm not sure this will work #larissa: sure it will. my goddess always comes through. like so: gaila. by the power of mystra be healed! #*blast of divine power* #gaila (watching the skin of her arm heal before her eyes): that's ... i'm. very impressed. #anyway. but one of the super vivid-to-me scenarios playing out in my mind #anghraine babbles #fic talk #fic talk: gaila #anghraine whines #anghraine's gaming #pretty sure i sold my soul to larian studios #larissa x gale

Are you considering making Firestar purebred? Not that it matters to the plot lol. I’ve always designed him after an Abyssinian :3

I know the clans have a bunch of mixed genetics so they wouldn’t *be* purebred, but do you have any breed HCs for specific cats? I draw Yellowfang based on scrungly persians myself :)

Nah! I'm actually only considering purebred cats for SkyClan to put some more of their kittypet-ancestry on display!

I think thematically it works really well for SkyClan specifically, and will make for some really cool ancestral traits to be passed down in the coming generations... even though realistically, no cat with SkyClan ancestry would be "purebred."

(in fact purebreeding discourages outbreeding often to the detriment of the health of the cats but woogh)

I'm not super fond of picking out breed headcanons otherwise because it feels stifling, like Cat Genetics, another thing I'm not interested in. When I want Bluestar's family to have a wolf motif I just draw them having a wolf motif. Next to Brokenstar's glasses, Spottedleaf's blight theme, or Thrushpelt's mullet, just picking a cat breed seems mundane.

I like to design with "soft" fantasy elements in mind! It's why I have a very 'Bring Your Own Design' approach to my rewrite and encourage people to have different takes on stuff. Never been able to draw realistically.

(actual ecological/bushcraft/medical research? I'm plugged in. Drawing realism? Not my style.)

Though, I do think Silverflame's mate was a cat with extreme brachycephaly. A persian-like cat. I imagine Brightflower had a few breathing problems as a result, but by the time it got to Yellowfang she has enough muzzle to be healthy and for it to just be a quirk of her family.

#Plus the family traits I've picked so far can be altered so freely #Broken Rowan and Little all have different types of glasses but it's the same family trait #That's fun! I can sit there and think about what pair of glasses I'm gonna give them #I don't really get that with breeds-as-a-trait #OH oh the note of Yellowfang's Face #Just through genetic luck it's not prevalent with either of her grandkits #But it probably will persist in Rowanberry's line down through Stumptail #Stumptail has a very round face #Bone Babble #Side note I'm trying to work out Tigerstar's family #I've just been sketching them in my notebooks lmao #I also want to keep Silverflame's 'coat' in her descendants... #GOD she was a pretty cat #Brokenstar and his biokids Littlecloud and Rowanstar take a lot from their grandfather but little from their grandma

I have got to start taking before and after pictures because I just did so much work and in a week it won't feel like I did anything because I'll have forgotten how bad it looked before

#charlie babbles #I'm prepping for friend help to move boxes to make room for bookcases #so I've been picking up clutter and trash #and I just cleared space for boxes upstairs and we have! so much space! but it never feels like it #because it all piles up in the one room we spend all our time in #the majority of one of the rooms upstairs was just empty boxes. I thought that room was full! I mean it was but. with trash #I still have to break down the boxes but oh my god so much progress already

Nothing is funnier (but also so very annoying) than me discovering I've been signing wrong a word wrong my whole life because my mom (THE DEAF PARENT WHO TAUGHT ME) never corrected me as a kid because she knew what I meant

So far we have: Never, Meet, Learn

There's definitely others that I don't remember right now because I don't use them a lot in convo OR she still hasn't corrected me and I haven't come across the correct sign while searching online yet.

The best part is when I see the right sign, I can very easily recall my mom making those signs so many times in the past and me understanding exactly what she's saying but somehow never making the connection that I, personally, am not doing those signs the right way.

#happy's babblings #asl #do you know how hard it is to consciously change a word you've been using forever lol #like im gonna be honest Never i have started doing correctly (sort of 😂 i do it the way my mom does it so a more subtle squiggle motion) #and learn i can probably get down because it's similiar to teach/teacher in a way #but i dont think im ever gonna use the right one for meet tbh bc the way i do it now looks correct?? esp in context #its basically both hands closed eith thumb to index fingers and bringing both hands to MEET together in the center of your chest #I'm beginning this may actually be the word for kiss in which case why #lemme check #oh my god it is. lol. it's also the sign for more (done lower down though) but i already knew that. #i gotta go back in time and yell at my mom 😂
