#whose pov is it anyway

[melbatron5000]

Things that can be explained by POV switches

If you haven't read this analysis, you should start with that!

A list:

Crowley's hair and sideburns changing.

2. The Bentley changing. When it's Aziraphale's perspective, it's a four-door. From Crowley's it's two-door.

3. Gabriel's statue and the disappearing cross. From Gabriel's perspective, there's a cross. From Beelzebub's there is not. I wonder if it's because Gabriel sees himself as bearing some sort of burden?

4. Honolulu roast sign in Nina's shop. I wonder if that's because we switch to Nina's perspective, she knows the sign is there, she hung it. But someone notices it and someone doesn't.

5. Differing title/location cards? I bet they will give us a clue as to whose perspective we're about to see through if we pay attention to how they change.

6. The drawing of Gabriel being different when Aziraphale draws it versus when he shows it in the pub. When he draws it, we're seeing through his eyes, but when he shows it, we're seeing through Crowley's.

7. Possibly the Resurrectionist pub sign -- one of Mr. Dalrymple with a cleaver, one of him with a scalpel. Someone remembers him as a butcher, someone remembers him as a surgeon. I think we can tell who.

8. The vanishing/reappearing storefront signs in Whickber street. Someone knows exactly what shops are where, someone doesn't notice.

9. The streets and castle in Edinburgh when Aziraphale visits -- cobblestones versus paved; the castle in the background in every shot from every angle.

10. Several of the weird background noises can be explained by POV, but I don't think all of them.

11. Crowley's sunglasses changing? That one is iffy to me. Because they're silver for half the show, then black for the second half. If that were a POV switch, you'd think they'd change back and forth more often.

12. Crowley throwing books. And being nice to Jim. And wearing sleeve garters. He's telling Aziraphale on the phone what's going on, and we're seeing Aziraphale's image of it in his mind. That's almost certainly not what happened, but the gist is close enough.

13. Aziraphale's over-the-top reporter cosplay right after he is gently amused at Muriel's over-the-top constable cosplay. He's telling Crowley on the phone what's happening, and Crowley is imagining how it's going. Aziraphale's reporter persona is probably not as inconspicuous as he thinks, but it's probably not as cute and silly as Crowley imagines.

14. Gabriel not coming down the lift in the Dirty Donkey. Maggie and Nina see him first, they don't know about the lift, so they see him just walking down the street, not getting off a Heavenly elevator. He probably wasn't wandering around anywhere else -- but he does say he had to carry the box for soooo long, so maybe he was roaming around . . .

15. The high number of queer couples in the show. Both Crowley and Aziraphale are more highly tuned to humans who present as they do when in human form. It's probably not that there are more queer couples around, just that A and C take more note of them.

That's everything from my Murder Board that I think POV can explain. If anyone has other weird things that can be explained by seeing them through various character's eyes, I'd love to know!

And there is still PLENTY that can't be explained by POV. PLENTY. AND the POV changes mean we're not only seeing what they think is happening rather than what is, we're also NOT seeing anything they don't want known. We have to look where the furniture isn't.

thinking so so hard about LaughingStock and how that'd go down. disastrously, probably

#and ill talk about it at Length in the tags until tumblr cuts me off like a rowdy drunk after last call #please keep in mind this is all in my Brain and relationship dynamics etc are all technically speculation. anyway #so while franklydear is your more classic 'oh no im in love with him! / aw shucks im in love with him<3' #laughingstock is 'feelings what feelings / oh shit oh fuck this is bad' #to Me. #in my mind howdy is completely oblivious to his emotions #he's out here like 'gotta get the store impressively neat & shiny for barnaby! and everyone else' without blinking an eye #he starts assembling barnaby and wally's dogs slower an slower so that barnaby has to hang around a smidge longer than usual #he's out here giggling at barnaby's jokes while sweeping Hours or Days after the joke was told like a lovesick idiot #all while being like Ah Yes Barnaby My Dear Friend. My Platonic Buddy Whose Jokes I Laugh At A Little Too Hard. Platonically. #meanwhile barnaby Realizes his own feels. has a minor crisis. goes through the 12 stages of grief and absolutely panics #he's like 'ok just gotta play it cool. normal. dont be weird. he'll fall for your natural charm in no time' #'ill hold all of my feelings right here until i die or howdy reciprocates. i just cant tell anyone about this.' #'....hey wally you can keep a secret right' #and rizzes it up yk. rolls a nat 20 on charisma every time without howdy even realizing it. ig barns rolled for stealth too #and from barnabys pov its going great! #howdy is flirting back! hes showing all the signs! when eddie views their interactions he comes to barnaby later and is like A+ gay as fuck #so barnaby is a soft pining mess and howdy is Absurdly Oblivious despite being a clever & observant guy #so im imagining (will freely admit that this Train of Thought is slightly inspired by the latest chapter of Stamps by Indigopoptart) #that eventually barnaby is Confident in their budding relationship ok. hes ready to ask howdy out. #everyone who Knows (wally & eddie) are like Go For It He Clearly Loves You #and when barnaby tells howdy. howdys like 'ohhhh geez um im really flattered 🥺 but i dont feel the same 😔😭' #cue barnaby turning into the 'never again' meme while trying to laugh it off and pretend like he didnt just have his heart mr starked #so he goes home to smoke his pipe and cry and howdy goes about his day feeling Strange #why cant he stop thinking about that confession. what are these emotions. i mean its not as if hes in love with Ohhhhhh No. Oh No. #so howdy has his 'holy shit! im in love with barnaby! (lovestruck. swooning) ....Holy Shit I Rejected Barnaby (horrified. nauseous)' moment #cue howdy expecting barnaby to come by in the morning as per Routine so they can talk. he Doesnt. cue howdy stressing the fuck out over it #meanwhile wally sally (eddie sent her in his place. hes too busy) and barnaby are having a girls day (eating ice cream and watchin romcoms) #eventually barnaby hears that howdy has been Dropping The Ball and cant not check on him. cue emotional heart-2-heart outside the bodega #this is all very specific but its in my brain. these scenarious lull me to sleep every night lately

me writing mike pov: fun, enjoyable, easy; my crops are watered; my anxiety is gone; the words write themselves, and suddenly i wake up a week later with thousands of words written by themselves

me writing will’s pov: screaming, crying, throwing up; words simply don’t exist; i have never seen a dictionary before in my life, and suddenly i have the reading comprehension of my 11 month old corgi 

#. anyways #in case you were wondering whose pov is easier for me

36 days.

i think we as a fandom don't talk about dan and renee enough aftg hitlist anon. i understand that renison and mattdan (?) prevail but we need to look at the sheer potential in that one short story about dan's recruitment alone. the sports rivalry turned hatred. dan only getting recruited because wymack came to watch renee. the strip club. having to unite in the face of misogynists. do you see the vision. do u see the vision aftg hitlist anon.

#i'm sorry i know i always go against mainstream fanon #but are u seeing this #more unpopular fanon sorry: #bi renee. ive been a jeanee truther for 3 years i cant put it down. their canon interactions r really cute theyre just got the vibes sorry #at least some of the foxes have gotta be a little ugly im sorry guys they cant all be hot #i hate reading aus unless its like nearly exactly canon backstories but they meet differently #that ones just like a general thing all the time i'm not an au person #i LAY MY LIFE DOWN for people who write like ridiculously long pre canon or post canon fics #um #u might be able to guess what fandom i very recently got into based on that #if u r thinking “Is it that one?” the answer is probably yes. its a big one. #have never read or watched source material nor do i plan to who cares they're all dead anyway & authors a pos #also missing scene canon compliant fics. anyone whose ever written andrew pov baltimore.... i come to you humbly #and with love #aftg hitlist anon #i hope u know that my replies to these asks r genuinely the first thing i think of in response thats the philosophy im going with here #today i have dan and renee on the brain. it happens.

[narwhalandchill]

very whelmed by the 'anniversary' as usual but honestly archon quest looks hype as hell. not in the actively losing my mind and vibrating at an alarming frequency type of usual hype but this flavor thats more just. im so intensely curious about how things r about to go down? arlecchino maam whats on your mind. what are you planning. huge fan of women with plots and schemes personally

#i also really like how childes not even present in the trailer n presumably the story but like. #by the sheer virtue of being his abysspilled self hes Still at the center of whatever political and diplomatic crisis #is now ensuing between fontaine and the fatui #pov you arrest a guy whose job qualifications literally include a supernatural ability to cause problems everywhere no matter what non stop #and think its gonna help 💀 #anyway i rly wanna see where arles taking this whole situation #rambles #genshin

[desperatepleasures]

was real stuck on my wip and then i looked up, said "I know what i have to do" out loud, and got up and made a pitcher of iced tea. progress????

#well not on the fic but at least i'll have iced tea to drink later #anyway there's a Mystery Chapter in my current wip #i know that something has to go in that spot but idk what yet #i've narrowed down whose pov i want it to be from (and i know vaguely where in the timeline it takes place) but literally nothing else #gonna do a deep dive into the timeline and see if anything starts floating to the surface #fic tag

[cassatine]

im crying i just realized baby Aemond was probably soooo pissed when his sister and uncle got married because it'd have been all everyone talked about rather than how super cool *he* was for claiming the biggest baddest dragon in the world

#he was like ten and he did the coolest thing anyone could do and everyone's going on about two targs getting married?? #grossly unfair #house of the dragon #aemond targaryen #anyway guess whose pov im trying out

[kitnita]

rpf is truly the genre i was meant to write because any time i hear wagon wheel i feel like an assassin whose sleeper codes are being activated

#zoe.txt #rpf talk #some ladies at the pool just requested wagon wheel and i am. unfortunately. vibing. #anyway this is a joke since i don’t even think either of the dudes whose pov i usually write are big country guys

Find the Vibe Tag

I was tagged by @i-can-even-burn-salad to find the following vibe or phrase in my WIP: Leave me alone.

*glances at TPOT, wondering how spoilery the scenes that jump to mind are*

“I can tell you’re not interested in conversation,” he says. “That’s fine. But if you don’t mind, can you please give me a nod for yes and a shake for no?”

He really thinks I’m going to play along with his childish bullshit?

Just get on with your job and get out.

“It’s important for me to know if I’m causing you pain.”

I can’t help it. I begin to laugh.

He looks utterly helpless when I finally glance back at him. Apparently, he wasn’t trying to make a joke.

“So, will you…” He blinks a few times. “Will you at least respond with yes or—”

“Whatever the fuck you want,” I say. “Just hurry up and leave me alone, yeah?”

He leans back, obviously not expecting my voice or, perhaps, the aggression, but he regains his composure pretty fast. “Well. Yes. All right then. Good.” He comes a little closer. “I’m sorry. I should have introduced myself."

all my pals were already tagged so I'll add a new vibe but leave it as an open tag

Your phrase/vibe: "What am I going to do with you?"

#tag game #find the vibe tag #I actually like this game a lot #did I cut off the last paragraph to hide the other guy's name? yes. might you be able to guess something about him anyway? also yes. #lps the prince of thieves #can you tell whose POV it is? #probably #lol

14, 37, 40 💘💘

hi!! thank you, dear!

14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.

lmao just for you, i've written the first line of the next long fic i have planned; angsty fwb turned fake dating fic:

“What in the world are you doing here?” Draco asks before noting the abject misery on Harry’s face. “Oh, no.”

37. Do you research before writing or while you write? Is it fun or boring for you?

both! and it's a ton of fun; i honestly tend to go way overboard with research because it helps me get into the world of the story, and i love world-building more than anything.

40. Write a 9-word fic.

this is CRUEL omg. me of the obnoxious word counts!! let's see:

Draco won’t say yes unless Harry gets it right.

this feels more like a summary but too bad!!!

ask me writing asks!!!

#asks #mxlfoydraco #fic writing asks #ask meme #the way that lil 9 word fic changes depending on whose pov it is....what an evil prompt #that i love anyway

Marisa & Lyra - distorted memory

She remembers nonsense lullabies, gentle kisses against hair, leaden limbs weighed down by sleep, by the world. She remembers tears, and murmured words, half of which made no sense, and she remembers conversations, few and far between, their voices forced into quiet by the silence of everything around them.

In a haze of pain, a cloud of despair, Marisa cannot quite tell what is real, and what she merely wishes could have been.

[three sentence fic meme]

#73 words. i wanted ambiguity as to whose pov it was til the last line idk if it worked well but anyway #hdm #his dark materials #myhdm #little-tayy #ask meme

[infizero]

for the finale today im torn between whether i want to start w scar’s pov or wait until grian’s is out........ AGHHGHHHH I DONT KNOW. scar has the lowest time i believe so all things considered. he’ll probably be out before grian. but ghghhrghgh DO I WANT TO WATCH SCAR’S POV AND POSSIBLY MISS IMPORTANT EVENTS OR DO I WANT TO WATCH GRIAN’S POV AND POSSIBLY WITNESS SCAR’S FINAL DEATH AS A MERE CHAT MESSAGE.......

#HOW DO YOU PPL DO THIS. when double life ended i had ONLY been watching grian's pov im pretty sure #but now that i watch multiple povs I DONT KNOW WHOSE FINAL EPISODE I WANT TO WATCH FIRST #uuuughrghrhghrghgh ok i think im gonna watch grian's first. i dont know #im doing hw right now anyway so either way im not gonna watch anything before grian's ep is out probably #we'll see. im so indecisive ToT #serena.txt

I hope y’all know this chapter is confirmation tht Hanma is indeed the 2nd time leaper..

#some ppl took sanzus statement as it confirming HES the other time leaper when it literally doesn’t make sense #sanzu is just now being pushed into the front of the story after so many arcs of him being irrelevant and nonexistent to the plot #still not a fan of wakui weirdly including him as a childhood friend of Mikey and Baji when it literally doesn’t track #Baji and Mikey made it seem it was only ever them before they found the other members of the OG Toman #and again if they were all so close and it was always them whytf wouldn’t he be included in the og toman #it doesn’t matter if he was going through his reckless rebellious phase #Mikey still would’ve made him join and from what we’ve seen it’s clear Mikey maiming him didn’t make him hate him #so there’s no reason why he wouldn’t join the og gang besides the fact tht this was bad writing and added to give more importance to him #anyway it’s clearly hanma and I’m thinking hanma also had a hand in possibly egging sanzu on or manipulating him #into trying to kill everyone with the train #the fact tht wakui had his cover be him sitting on the train tracks and tht he literally refers to himself as the reaper says a lot #just makes me curious as to why he’s doing all of this tho #when we got his POV in chp 205 he seemed to just want some excitement in his life and tht appears to be why he hung around Kisaki #but then he alluded to the fact tht it wasn’t only bc he was interesting by stating he’d tell him the real reason when Kisaki is dying #and even in June 2008 as he’s on the run he went to kisakis grave and literally reiterated tht he’d tell him his motivations #but it makes me confused as to what caused him to leap back in time #what near death experience did he have and what is trying to go back in time and change? #i doubt it was kisakis death since while he was sad about his death he seemed happy tht he got to go out in a “’glorious way’ #i also wanna know who he’s trigger #like whose hand is he shaking to leap or is it different for him #another interesting thing I noticed was when Takemichi dodged sanzus attack he automatically thought he was the other leaper #when ..tht wouldn’t make sense bc how would him being able to time leap correlate with him being able to predict his moves? #makes me wonder if hanma also has the future visions like takemichi #also I’m curious as to how Hanma convinced Kisaki and sanzu he could leap time if he is the leaper and told them #like what is the event tht made them believe him #see tr got my interest again now I wanna see how this goes #also shoutout to kaku he was the MVP of this chapter first by bashing sanzus skull and secondly by throwing him outta speeding train 😋 #hope tht fucked him up bc I am SO tired of sanzu #if we aren’t getting his backstory and an explanation for his creepy obsession with Mikey then I don’t wanna see him #Tokyo revengers 256
