that thing where jensen’s arm always ends up high and tight around misha’s neck and misha’s arm automatically goes around jensen’s back with his fingers curled around jensen’s shoulder
listen I see your headcanons about Aziraphale loving sweets and cakes and pumpkin spice lattes with extra shots of syrup and what have you and that’s valid but consider:
Aziraphale takes his tea with no sugar
the two things that Crowley is specifically mentioned consuming in the book are angel cake and cocktails made from date palm liquor which, based on my extensive research, is basically the most appallingly sugary-sweet alcohol mankind has ever managed to produce
therefore I present the following counterpoint: Aziraphale does not have any particular fondness for sugary things (though he enjoys a bite of something sweet now and then), but Crowley has the world’s worst sweet tooth and tries (very very badly) to conceal this.
like, Crowley isn’t quite sure why, but he feels like he should be ordering coffee blacker than his soul
(which, like, he probably should stick to darker coffee because the lighter a coffee roast, the more caffeine it has and like, the poor thing’s got bad enough anxiety as it is, he doesn’t need to add high doses of caffeine to his system, but that’s neither here nor there)
but also like…. he Hates it, but insists on ordering it, because espresso strong enough to melt your intestines seems like the sort of thing the human Anthony J. Crowley would drink, so he gets it and he hates it and all he really wants is some double whip sugary caramel frappe Starbucks-y monstrosity that’s loaded with more sugar and dairy than your average milkshake and he’s staring sadly down at his ultra-concentrated cold brew cup of Bitterness™…
…only for Aziraphale to sigh and say “oh dear, this candy apple latte really seemed like the thing at the time, but it’s a great deal too sweet for me. You wouldn’t mind swapping, would you, dearest?” and hitting him with the big eyes like Crowley’d be doing him such a favor if they swapped drinks…
…and Crowley tries not to look too relieved, and gives a big put-upon sigh. “All right, angel, I guess I could take it off your hands”
and so Crowley gets his sugary-sweet disaster of a drink that barely even qualifies as coffee at this point because it’s more whipped cream than beverage, and Aziraphale hides his grin behind a calculated sip of the triple-concentrated espresso hell-drink
post-canon i really want crowley to let his sweet tooth flag fly and just make himself every kind of brownie that never seem to get stale and pour infinite sugar in his pale, milky coffee while aziraphale gags in the distance and still manages to be in love with him.
Something went wrong. You know this, something always goes wrong. Then why is that something always seem to be you.
@hashtagteamfreewill This is only episode 3. Obviously they are using this as a way to get Dean to realize that simply hoping Cas will come back isn’t going to work. Not this time. Dean has to prove that he loves Cas, and fight with everything he has to get Cas to come back. Possibly to say those three words that have never been spoken….
100%.
I think I’m yelling about this everywhere in tags, on discord, in DMs - but Cas isn’t leaving because of duty; there’s nothing out there he needs to do nowhere he needs to go or anyone he needs to find. And he won’t be out of Dean’s life because of outside forces, because he’s dead. Cas is leaving because he simply doesn’t feel welcome or valued. He’s leaving because he does not want to be there anymore because he does not feel wanted.
Dean has to prove he wants Cas to stay because he cares, not because he needs Cas like he needs a gun or a book of spells. He has to earn Cas back, earn his love, his companionship.
This is the best catalyst for Destiel to go canon imho.
Cas leaving this way is going to force Dean to re-evaluate things, to put his feelings under a spotlight and accept them for what they are before he can go about fixing things. He needs to acknowledge those feelings out loud in order to make things right with Cas this time, to tell Cas what he needs to hear. He needs to apologize. He needs to take responsibility for his behaviour. He needs to face the truth of his heart and then trust Cas with it - without hiding behind the mention of “family” or “team free will” or any of that.
This is between him and Cas. If Dean wants him back, he has to fight for him, for them. It may not be as plain as, “I Love You”, but it needs to be something equally powerful, sincere, and unambiguous.
I am tired of watching shows and films that think that the only way to be compelling or “edgy” is to showcase abusive relationships and torture and kill their protagonists.
Good Omens is compelling because it shows genuine love, respect, and kindness when it would have been so easy to show literally anything else.
Crowley, a demon, doesn’t lie to Aziraphale, doesn’t hurt him or trick him, doesn’t disrespect or power-trip him; he cares about him and treats him well. Aziraphale, an angel, never for a moment rejects Crowley for being a demon, he doesn’t try to change him, tell him he is wrong or attempt to “save” him, but instead recognizes all of the good in him and treats him well.
The only unhealthy relationships are between heaven and hell, and they FREE THEMSELVES OF THESE ABUSES.
The whole thing is filled with healthy relationships of all kinds.
Adam and the Them? Even though Adam is seen as the leader of the group, he takes this as a responsibility to provide his friends with the best games and bring them joy, not as a means of controlling them.
Witches and witchfinders fall in love.
No one is tortured or tormented, the world does not end, and a fucking nightingale sings in Berkeley Square.
Good Omens was the first time I have watched a series that didn’t leave me tense wondering when the hurt was going to start. I actually realized how emotionally abusive media has become, and that is so fucked up.
there’s no better feeling than getting fucked up by an author over and over as you make your way through their ao3 fic list
there is, and it’s being that author and seeing their list of increasingly distressed ao3 comment notifications in your inbox the next day
When you get the kudos notifications from 1 person in a string and see where they had to call it a night… then the next day you get the rest of a list of kudos from the same person
why the fuck is no one naming their children after greek goddesses? Name your fucking child Persephone?????? Bitch???????!?
If that makes you happy, my name is Demeter
In my experience, people named after Greek goddesses are some of the most ethereal, chaotic forces I have ever encountered.
Our Art Department’s nude model, for example, is a woman named Hera. She’s stunningly beautiful, rides a motorcycle as apparently her only vehicle, grows all her own food, and keeps bees, turtles, and a dog named Argus, who she walks around town with a peacock feather attached to his leash.
I am thoroughly convinced she is not of this realm.
@winchester-reload@lizleeships here’s a cute prompt for you ❤ (although, Jackie, I thinks this is less up your alley, yet I’ve a feeling you like it still).
I’m so fucking proud that Misha finally gets the lines and screentime and opportunity to shine like he fucking deserves. Every episode should be written like this, with Cas getting good lines and highlighting how wonderful and comedic Cas is capable of being. Bless you Meghan Fitzmartin & Steve Yockey!
Sam and Charlie team up to get to the bottom of a string of random disappearances. Meanwhile, Jack believes that he has found a case and convinces Dean to partner-up with him on the hunt. Richard Speight Jr. directed the episode written by Steve Yockey.
