A Thought

I lied. It's not a thought. It's a not at all cohesive babble.

So what if Crowley and Aziraphale - hear me out - adopted a kid? Like, they're living at South Downs and Aziraphale just shows up at the cottage with a literal 8 year old human? And Crowley's like 'fucking... okay.'

And they take care of this human kid. And they wow the kid with miracles, and as the kid becomes a teen, the kid's like 'pa, never do that again' when Aziraphale tries to do his magic act and he's all heartbroken because his kid doesn't like his magic act and Crowley has to comfort his angel?

And the kid becomes an adult, falls in love, and moves out, but Aziraphale finally caves and buys a modern phone so he can check in with the kid every day and the kid's exasperated but loves their pa and allows it.

And the kid gets their heart broken and moves back in and lives there for a while?

And Crowley and Aziraphale love this kid with everything they have?

And even then, it's not enough, because the kid dies anyway, and Crowley and Aziraphale find comfort in each other, and barely leave the house for a century - not even to eat or get alcohol?

But then they realize that being able to love this thing that they raised was worth the grief and they adopt another?

What if that happened?

Bro is STRESSING

aziraphale: rescuing me makes him so happy 😍😍😍

crowley when he has to rescue aziraphale:

but keep telling yourself that aziraphale, maybe one day you will fantasize so hard you end up back in reality

something they don’t tell you about being autistic is that every character you write WILL end up autistic/autistic-coded whether you like it or not

Love it when people assume that because I run and do sports I'm in pique physical condition when it's in fact the opposite. I am falling apart. My joints are actively losing mobility as we speak. I am still going out of the pure need to impress people and no I do not do any stretches I am supposed to

i see driftrod as a QPR. like rodimus is drift's amica, but also it's more than that in a way that can't be defined. they clicked fast and forgive faster. after drift returns to the lost light, its rare to see one without the other. somehow being attached at the hip even though drift has a conjunx already and hes not looking for another one.

ratchet is not insecure so he very much does not care. in fact, he's happy as long as drift is. and as annoying as rodimus can be, ratchet can't help but be fond of him anyway. so when asked, he'll shrug and guess that they ended up friends as well somewhere down the line.

and its funny to watch other bots come to ratchet with concern over how close drift and rodimus' are, except that humor quickly turns into annoyance the more it happens. the point is that drift and rodimus very much love each other, and probably always will. drift doesnt have to choose between his amica anf his conjunx because one doesn't outrank the other. both ratchet and rodimus are important to him in ways that overlap and ways that don't because relationships are complex and don't always fit in neat boxes.

I think at my core I'm a haribo twin snake gummy worm floating in the vastness of being

i hate what diet culture has done to ethnic food my ancestors (my GRANDPARENTS) ate rice and injera and bread and coffee all the time and they turned out fine. i hate white people

The concept of demons just all lumping together sometimes in Hell. They're not loving or caring, but sometimes they really don't give a fuck. Oh your sitting here? Well guess what mother fucker I'm sitting here too. And it continues until they're all just piled on top of each other and napping or just laying there until someone comes over and scares them off like a bunch of bugs. I feel like after some time it creates a habit, and eventually everyone's instinct is to just collapse on top of eachother and push and shove until they're some what comfortable

Demon walking by a pile and getting grabbed by the ankles: What the hell why!?

Demon dragging them in the pile: fuck you I need someone to lay on the floor is killing my neck

No one thought that through.

Not sure I can describe the devastation of realizing you will never fluently learn your native language and actively contributing to the death of it

Good Omens: all about its score

I know these have a lot of text, but I tried to put everything in a “chronological, this fits together” order. If you love music, you know how much the score of a certain series/ film adds to the feeling of it.

David Arnold is a genius. There is so much going on beneath the surface. All those little strings you might not pay attention to, they are ATTENTION worthy.

This is part 1. There is a part 2 here!

I also want to point out the one thing I did not add on the slides: there is a moment at the beginning of episode 6 of season 1 where Mark Kermode played the harmonica. (Just as a little cameo for you :) ) In the words of @neil-gaiman “ Ennio Morricone-style Western harmonica music”.

All of the information here was gathered from interviews with David Arnold. (Those include videos as well and the DVD commentaries). I will leave all my sources in part 2.
