A Chance Encounter 🚏👁

A little food web for the Star Wars planet I’m creating. I was trying to figure out what the keystone species would be and this was the easiest way I could think of.

Silvogitan is the major river of the planet, and the Briloskes are the glowing forests that make up the majority of the terrain.

Note: not all creatures (including the freshwater lake ecosystem) are included here

“Is that a- is that a Magnus Archives reference?” Uhhhh, yeah. Yeah it is.

Anyway this is a piece from art class (oil pastel on canvas board) that I thought was going to take me a week of class, tops, but it actually took me almost a month!

The Heron of Dismal Bay

(Oil pastel on paper). An older piece, but this is one of my favorites solely because the lighting is very specific to a particular place on a particular trail.

The Archivist… a creature, truly. 

So, I feel like I’m losing my mind. I keep seeing metas about how Aziraphale wants Crowley to return to Heaven and be an angel again because he wants them to be on the same side/be good/change/etc., etc., etc. but I don’t see that at all. I actually see it as the very opposite.

Aziraphale loves Crowley just as he is. But there’s something more. Something huge.

Aziraphale loves Crowley and because he is an angel who is stuck in seeing things as black and white, he constantly praises Crowley for being nice. For being good. For being kind.

Aziraphale has watched Crowley on and off for 6,000 years. He watched him thwart the plans of Heaven and Hell because it was unjust. He spared the lives of innocents. He did small things that made Aziraphale happy just because (like making Hamlet successful and saving valuable books). And because Aziraphale sees things in black and white, he sees all the things Crowley has done as nice, as good, as kind.

Crowley vehemently attests he’s not nice or good or kind.

He’s not exactly wrong nor is he lying when he says this. When Crowley spares goats during a cruel bet over a righteous man and swallowing laudanum to prevent a suicide, when he prevents Armageddon by working with Aziraphale and stopping the Anti-Christ from being the Anti-Christ, he’s not doing the nice/good/kind thing.

He’s doing the right thing.

Crowley chooses to do the right thing without hesitation. He is better than all of Heaven and Hell who have callous and dispassionate view of all existence because he questions, because he makes choices. Crowley sees the world for all its messiness and he sees himself. He sees a place where he fits in. He sees the blurred edges.

And Aziraphale sees that, even if seeing the blurred edges is hard for him.

But here’s the thing that Aziraphale can’t voice.

It’s the reason why he told Crowley about being allowed to return to Heaven and become an angel again. He doesn’t want Crowley to change. He doesn’t think Crowley is flawed. Or not enough.

It’s something that is so monumental that it cannot be put into words. Because to put it into words would be more than blasphemy. It’s down right unthinkable for anyone in Heaven, Hell, or Earth to say what Aziraphale knows deep in his soul.

God was wrong to cast out Crowley.

Aziraphale believes Crowley can/should return to Heaven because he knows that Crowley should never have fallen in the first place. He wants him to be forgiven because when Crowley fell it was unjust. Aziraphale is trying to correct a mistake. He’s trying to do the right thing.

Yes, Crowley would never accept returning to Heaven. And Aziraphale was wrong to even suggest it (although that conversation is another can of worms to unpack).

Aziraphale loves Crowley. He loves him exactly as he is. He doesn’t want him to change. Aziraphale knows that Crowley the best of all of them. He wants to change Heaven because of it. Because God was wrong and Aziraphale knows it.

Aziraphale may have difficulty seeing beyond black and white, but when it comes to Crowley he sees everything crystal clear and in vivid color.

besira and daisy

autors note : did this to absolutly crush u sensible tma fans

-daisy is crying but only from one eye (only one part of herself is still herself enough to be in pain )

-they have the same eye colour (the hunt has them both)

-they both have matching mouth scars ,likly from eachother, symbol for their hurtful relationship, but also of their close bond in that pain.

-besira is still holding on close even tho she already has bite marks on her hands

-they are not looking at eachother

-besiera's headscraf is white like daisy's teeth (white being a colour closly associated with innocence) : to eachother , they are good people.
