believe it or not I don't believe that Joe Keery is a terrible awful homophobe bc someone w a tiktok account said he was 9 years ago w absolutely no proof. and no, not believing everything a random lesbian online tells you doesn't make you lesbophobic. I'm a lesbian. I will write you a note.

#shut up az #Joe keery #like yeah if he did that it sucks and time doesn't necessarily excuse that behavior #but why are they talking about it now that he's making real art and not like... when ST first got big? when it would have been more recent? #literally doesn't make sense. except that they're promoing their band on tiktok and joe is on billboard 100 bc of tiktok #like........... that doesn't strike anyone else as super convenient? #also the alleged behavior literally just sounds exactly like Steve in s1 I'm sorry but...... #calling someone a slur because of jealousy over a woman is like. exactly the thing. that's very coincidental don't you think. #almost like it's a lie chosen by a fucking idiot trying to get views on a video platform

The only way I would've accepted seeing pre-fall Crowley and Aziraphale together is if they were like in the Heaven cafeteria, Crowley complaining to a celestial dinnerlady that the lunch options all look bad ("the food hadn't been that good lately"), while Aziraphale walks by in the other direction, needlessly worrying about something. Neither notices the other. They were this close and yet!

Perhaps Aziraphale and another angel are even discussing some rumour about angels starting to ask questions of The Almighty and expresses concern.

Keep in the "how much trouble can I get into for asking a few questions?" or whatever from Crowley but have it be with the disgruntled dinnerlady or one of Lucifer's crew he was presumably hanging out with. Show one of these soon-to-be-cast-out angels casually mentioning to him that they're thinking of bringing up a few of their concerns to "the boss" and would he be interested? It's worth a shot after all. What harm could it to?

Just anything to make it less fucking needlessly dramatic and serious.

#good omens critical #keep it light and comedic!!!! #let crowley be a bit snakey and a bit of a rude shit #he fell in with the wrong crowd fucked around and found out #he doesn't HATE hate his job he just doesn't like acting with his hellish superiors and 2 particularly nasty coworkers #and canonically believes humans can be mucj worse than demons anyway due to our imaginative abilities #and if neil still needed crowley to seem more fundamentally Good as a character then have the other angel(s) manipulate him a little #“mate you're not like these other drones - you're a free thinker! you've got tons of great ideas!” #“you're popular with Them Upstairs - They respect your vision. come with us and we can actually make some inprovements around here” #could've even had pre-fall furfur or shax or those demons with the horn hair whose name I can never remember having around in the scene #establish that they'd Always Been There #and providing a little visual gag #I knew we had a problem as soon as crowley described himself as saunterinf vaguely downwards in s1 #because then it became subjective #rather than an objective description of the character given by the authors #it was now crowley's chosen narrative about his fall #and then we got him angsting in his apartment #and crying in the pub #and it was like 'oh for this crowley its just a story hes constructed about himself to put up a protective wall amount his Big Emotions' #and I did not care for it!!!! #etc

[sightkeeper]

hey! first off, js wanna say that i LOVE your art and style, and having just binged chosen faces for the first time, I am. smitten.

and so I had to ask you this question- feel free to ignore it if it somehow has spoilers - but ik that you don't plan to cover s2 apart from short scenes that spark your interest, but do you think your aziraphale would've made the same... decision that he made in canon? towards the end?

also can he take metatron in a fight :D pls say yes :D

Oh man oh man, this one really made me think! I don't think answering this is spoilers in any way, as we already know I'm following S1 canon (even if you don't know what changes to events I've yet to make). So the question is whether or not Chosen Face!Aziraphale would have accepted the Metatron's offer, and tried to convince Crowley to join him and become an angel again. Granted, as of now, we do not know the full story of why TV Aziraphale reacted the way he did. We didn't even get to truly see the conversation he had with the Metatron on the offer, only what he tells Crowley. And I don't trust him to be a reliable narrator. Let alone that we never see him say 'yes'. He just says 'I don't know what to say.'

There's a lot of really interesting theories about the new season and why characters act the way they do, but for the purpose of this ask I'm going to go with the assumption that everything we saw on screen is accurate, without anything happening in the background or death threats or spiked coffees to explain their actions. And to this end, I'm going to bring up these past two responses to Q&As:

Because I started this comic pre-S2, I have their very first meeting being on the wall of Eden. CF!Aziraphale never met angel Crowley. He has no assumptions of how happy Crowley was prior to Falling.

TV!Aziraphale is complex and fallible, which is why I love him, but he also has shown that when faced with the ultimatum of running or facing the threat, he'd sacrifice his own happiness for what he felt was right (the bandstand). The end of S2E6 felt much the same to me in this. The Metatron is obviously manipulative, and Aziraphale has a lot more growing to do (as does Crowley, whose response was again to run off together), but at his core Aziraphale wants to do good. It's just whose definition of 'good' and to what end that he wibbles over. Would CF!Aziraphale react the same? Well, kinda no, but also unfortunately yes. I'm so sorry. I don't think the setup could have been the same. CF!Aziraphale doesn't harbor any notion of Heaven being purely good, and hasn't for a good while. But he does want to believe that God has a plan, and that if he can figure out that plan, he can win the game. By this I mean, Aziraphale's initial goals were to be on the "right/winning" side of the game, so he joined the angels as a tactical advantage. But as he grew to love earth and genuinely wanting to be kind, winning the game meant less of being a "victor", and more "If I figure out the game plan, I can subvert it if need be." He doesn't know what the plan is. But he does think the Metatron would know. So an opportunity to infiltrate their ranks and be able to make real structural changes that wouldn't break reality? Yeah, I could see him taking it. And since giving Crowley the holy water, Aziraphale has trusted Crowley to keep himself safe even when he's not around.

howling screaming slashing at the walls

As for whether or not he'd still present the question to Crowley, I think he would (but without the implication of how nice it was back then). He'd present the option only because it is an option, and he wouldn't want to take away Crowley's ability to choose that fate for himself. After all, he chose to be an angel and found a home in that identity. He'd want to offer Crowley that same courtesy, if that's actually what he wanted.

He doesn't want to control Crowley and make decisions for him. And if Crowley's decision means they have to separate for a time until he can figure out The Plan? He'll be heartbroken but he'll accept it.

Okay but the real answer you're looking for: could CF!Aziraphale take on the Metatron and win?

YOU FUCKIN' BETCHA THAT FLOATING HEAD IS GOING DOWN

#Ran Writes #asks #anonymous #chosen faces au #good omens season 2 #good omens spoilers #this has just been stewing in my head all morning I cannot rest #why are you like this aziraphale I adore you but what the FUCK #let alone that I just don't have the stamina to try to cover S2 in fully rendered comic pages like I'm doing for S1 #I cannot handle the heartbreak 2.0 and CF is having a happy ending goddammit

Can we talk about the soundtrack choices this season? This sequence specifically:

the music slowly fading in right when wille is told “we can’t choose who we’re born as, but we can choose how we want to live” it’s so perfect,every second of it, the rhythm of the song makes you feel so much is going on inside Wille’s head, kind of like a nervous and anxious heartbeat. I remember watching this scene in the middle of the night and feeling so anxious and expectant about what was about to happen: what is he thinking? What is he going to do with that new perspective? and a lot of that is thanks to the song.

When you read the lyrics of the song, the meaning of that sequence gets even better and deeper.

The care.

#i could break down every song chosen for this season and how it adds so much to the meaning of and scene #i stand by the fact that this season’s soundtrack was better then the soundtrack for s1 #it’s just that I felt I added more to the narrative this time #I LOVE IT #young royals #wilmon #young royals season 2 #simon x wilhelm #wilhelm x simon #young royals analysis

finished fleabag and man. something about life being about where to choose the right place to put your love, and how you can put it where it has no right to be and where it won’t be held or cherished, how much you can have and if you can’t put it where it needs to go it’s overflowing and you don’t know what to do with it. Something about how where you put your love has to want that love, and how lonely it is when the person who should be holding it is gone, when the person who should be holding it refuses and walks away, when the person who demanded it and held it with their entire being also leaves far too soon.

something about how you can have so much love and it’s unbearable to deal with it alone. how you still hold hope despite that. how sometimes it’s consequences of previous actions and sometimes it’s just because of the choices of others that it falls through. and how love is strength because of this

#I’m fucked up about the hot priest guys #and about how fleabag is loved but hardly enough to be chosen #how the love she had for her friend is lost now. how the priest loved her but loved god more. how her father loved her #but not enough to step in between her and the step mom. and the sisters love which waxes and wanes but at least holds true #and another thing from s1 something about how attention can’t replace love #there’s plenty other things and themes but god. God #fleabag #z speaks

I swear today's episode felt like a mixture of the energies from Speed Racer and that racing game segment from that Spy Kids 3 film but crank up to an 11 on the craziness scale. It was quite the trip

Also, all hail Nikos the Chinchilla. He was great.

#I'm glad we at least got to see the cut episode that was supposed to be in S1 #although I wish we saw Gamora a bit more since she was chosen for the team #it was a little funny that she took him down with that melty stick while he was just sitting there expecting nothing to happen XD #what if...iron man crashed into the grandmaster? #what if spoilers #what if...? #what if season 2

“So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, ‘Will you give me a drink?’” ― JOHN 4 (NIV)

Thinking about Seo Dongjae’s arc and how Lee Changjoon factors into it.

Spoilers for both seasons of Stranger under the cut.

Both came from similar backgrounds in that they were ‘disadvantaged’ compared to their peers. Lee Changjoon didn’t come from a family as wealthy as the chaebols and Lee Yeonjae is explicitly said to have married ‘down’ when she married him instead of Kim Byunghyun. Seo Dongjae meanwhile wasn’t an alumni of a prestigious university and so doesn’t have the same connections as many of his colleagues. This pushes them both in different ways. Dongjae towards latching onto the nearest person he thinks he can use to give him a leg up. Changjoon towards the murky business of Hanjo and his father-in-law.

As season 1 progresses, Dongjae and Changjoon become more distant. We’re told that they used to be closer and have been growing apart over the course of the early episodes as Dongjae’s suspicion of his boss grows. Dongjae is still an opportunist though and so he returns back under Changjoon when given the chance. Ultimately, survival is what matters most for him and if it’s playing all sides that keeps him from being arrested that’s just what he’ll do.

Changjoon took Dongjae on to be his employee on the condition he stay away from Hanjo and his father-in-law. In retrospect, I’m inclined to believe this was his way of protecting Dongjae from their influence rather than because of worries Dongjae could ‘expose’ him. After all, Changjoon intended to expose Hanjo himself and so keeping Dongjae away from them doesn’t particularly help with this. If anything, he’s limiting potential information Dongjae can obtain to only the pieces more relevant to himself.

And, of course, Changjoon told Dongjae to not follow his path with his dying breaths. He could see the direction Dongjae was heading (and was already far enough down to have an arrest warrant out in his name) and knew where it had ended for him. Changjoon knew how how hard it is to extricate yourself once you’ve started down the corrupt route. But he also knew it wasn’t too late for Dongjae. Eunsoo proved that Dongjae couldn’t stomach being a killer.

Season two Dongjae, for all he’s still trying to make inroads and build connections in dubious ways, does show signs of growth. The fact he looked further into the Choi Bit and Park Gwangsu when Woo Taeha tried to draw him away from them is evidence of that. Looking further in this case would not endear him to the very person he wants to gain a promotion from. Also, it does seem like he was genuinely invested in his role in juvenile crimes, in even ‘simple’ bullying cases. And that in of itself helped him unlock the beach case. There was also how didn’t particularly socialise with others at his current office and mainly kept to himself which is a far cry from his early season 1 behaviour. Of course, the last point is somewhat weakened by the way he was most definitely networking outside of his station, but it adds to the sense of isolation and desperation present in everyone this season. His motivation skews increasingly towards his family and dissatisfaction with the whole system (though as a prosecutor he aims most of his ire at the police force).

There’s a part in the second season where Dongjae says something about how looking too deeply into places regardless of what everyone else wants can get you in trouble. And at the time the most obvious person it applies to is Simok (and also Eunsoo, but that stays silent) but in a number of ways it applies to Dongjae himself in this season. He’s probably lucky he was taken out by the culprit he was when you look at the other potential suspects. He has a lot of new powerful enemies. And those enemies are still future threats to him (as Lee Yeonjae demonstrates aptly). For a character so focused on survival historically, his choice should be clear when it comes to whether he speaks up or whether he chooses to stay silent. And yet, he’s shown enough growth that it isn’t clear anymore.

In the dream sequence in season 2, the subtext is pretty clear as to why each person appears. They’re all people who quite literally ‘lost their way or lost their life’. Changjoon (life/way - self-explanatory), Kang (strayed his way but chose to leave), Eunsoo (life, and also her way - though not in the corrupt sense, more how her revenge consumed her and she made self-destructive choices), Yoon (way, though importantly *not* his life). And Dongjae being there is partly to raise the potential he won’t make it, but most of all, it’s there to say that Dongjae hasn’t yet chosen his own path.

As of the season two finale, we don’t know which direction he’ll choose to go.

ngl as someone who's stalked yellowjackets way before i finally binged most of it this week, i gotta say i'm sooooo disappointed in the new ep. like, it's beyond sad to watch what should've been a devastating descent get rushed for the sake of ... idk, thrills? the appeal of pit girl ( to me anyway ) was the fact it was completely and utterly consensual, in a way. we know this is their second and last winter when they hunt her, and she's very deliberately dressed — there's no signs of a struggle on her outfit, so it's safe to say she willingly wore it, which all leads to this disturbing truth : the girls are completely lost in their delusion, their religion, and their love for each other at this point. they are safe and comfortable doing this ritual, choosing the girl, and submitting to the dance of slaughter and suicide. they have reached such a mental state, where they've come to terms with being willing to feed the girls with their body and feasting on their friends if they get picked instead. and their actions are brutal and relentless because that's a human being that they're treating like an animal, but it's also natural, it's their way of life, and this doesn't mean they don't love their pit girls. they do! these are people they've relied on for months, a year and more, this is their family! but they're a hive mind now, they love each other so much they're willing to die so others may live, they're willing to lose loved ones to save more loved ones. jackie's necklace is a sign of respect, of blessing ... pit girl is a wonderful thing to be! and that's such a gruesome, fucked up thing to grasp as a viewer. that they could treat people they love like mere meat, like any other animal. it's the descent i've been dying to see! yet they completely rushed it for ?? no reason ?? almost none of these girls are at this state yet ; we've spent the last couple of episodes watching people's faith in lottie waver ( van was having a whole crisis about this !! ) and them mourning the baby, so this sudden feral state is such a tonal shift, a jarring not-good one.

shauna was having nightmares about cannibalism and genuinely believed the girls ate her baby and now she's just a-okay with eating javi or nat?? tai couldn't even be conscious when they ate jackie! and when they did eat her, she'd already been cooked and dead for two months, she had been their captain, and her best friend was telling them that jackie would want them to ; they're still excusing it, not really addressing it, and so ?? them just jumping straight to pit girl is fucking weird to put it mildly. hungry or not they had other options! the placenta, the rest of jackie, finding crystal to eat, also what about coach ben?? you know, the useless grown adult man that none of them are really close to and could feed them way longer than some teenage girl or kid could? we know the girls can be ruthless, but the fact they were so ready to turn that ruthlessness onto each other ( despite CLEARLY not wanting to ) is stupid when they had other options. i agree they should've killed someone, as it's the natural progress to get to pit girl eventually, but that person should've been injured, or completely and utterly willing ... none of them are at the point where they can just kill their friends, and if they really are, then that hasn't been shown enough.

also, not gonna lie, them all just deciding that they couldn't possibly eat lottie is weird too. i'm not saying any of them would kill her, but once she told misty not to waste her body if she dies, we should've seen some inner conflict. because it'd be so easy to eat lottie, it'd be simple, she's their leader and she's giving them permission and they wouldn't even have to kill her for this. but she's also their friend! they don't want to eat lottie, but if that's what happened then ... like idk them acting like this was a bizarre notion when they literally listened to lottie last episode and let shauna beat her practically to death is strange. why does her word suddenly not matter now? again i get the conflict, but they all just unanimously agreed they couldn't ever eat lottie which is. whatever. they could've waited around for her to maybe die to eat, saw this wouldn't happen and be a mix of relieved & disappointed, and figure something else out.

anyway i just have some gripes with this episode and season overall. i still loved watching it in the moment, since the actors are so damn good, although the aftermath was not pleasant considering i was just. hit with bad writing decisions and weird pacing lol

#my posts. #yellowjackets spoilers #like ... #also i hate people using their hunger as an excuse when. CLEARY they were coherent enough to make a ritual out of this lmfao #and what's fucked up is that i could see javi's death happening. i could see them standing by and watching him die. being complacent #but that's not the problem. the problem is before this they were willing to kill nat. like 100% willing #had the ritual ended with shauna being unable to do it then i wouldn't have complained but after nat takes off the show just ??? #acts as if the girls would have ZERO problem killing nat which is insane to me lol #and not to be picky but the ritual literally fails in this episode. they think the wilderness chose javi right #which MEANS nat was wrongfully chosen. they fucked up! they didn't do what the wilderness wanted!!! yet they're gonna keep doing it #a ritual which. doesn't work. like okay i guess personally i'd be scared of pissing the wilderness off but you do you #anyway i just ... when your slow burn cannibalism cult show starts speeding down the high way all of a sudden </3 #not a single thing in this ep made a lick of sense and the quality has gone down since s1 i can assure you!! it is fresh in my memory #as a pit girl enthusiast this is tragic 2 me :(
