I See You.

“I see you.”

If Sasha got to girlboss her way past season 1 lets be real Jon and Martin would be looking at good cows in a little cottage rn. Just sayin.

Also your honorable mention brainrot from me! Her last line is I see you and if that isn’t eyeball influence man- i’ve always thought that Sasha totally had some of that in her already (Gertrude would agree with me lol) so this legitimately could have been Sasha’s first Spooky incident and then she immediately got tabled.

KELS SPECIAL ATTACK!! Repost of an old drawing because it is now up as a print download on my etsy shop! As always, startearstudios.etsy.com

I pray to a god who does not listen

Drawing some more of my LOZ nonsense. It’s a personal headcanon that Link is aware of his eternal cycle, and knows it was caused by the goddess Hylia. He grows weary, but reigns eternal.

Personally, I like to start my mental timeline with ocarina, but the idea of skyward sword happening and over the ages this great love rotting into something completely other is also pretty interesting to me. This was mostly spawned by the observation that Zelda is more of a held title, a lineage- in BOTW it’s very frequently mentioned that Zelda’s mother was the previous Zelda to hold the title and powers. But with Link he’s usually just a kid. Living with his grandma, among the kokiri, taking up his fathers sword. Link is not a lineage, Link is a person. That’s really neat to me.

these!! i’m applying for art school soon and seeing stuff like this really inspires me to make cool stuff for my portfolio- we need a lil color and creativity and Aphrodite in the world rn

Aphrodite

“Crowley? My dear, are you listening?”

“Yeah, yeah, of course Angel. Keep going, i’m here all night.”

Aziraphale is legitimately a fascinating character to me, especially considering how the narrative deals with his fear specifically.

Think about it. Six THOUSAND years. That is an UNFATHOMABLY long time. We cannot even begin to conceive of it as humans. And he has been looking over his shoulder (as has Crowley), because at any moment someone could walk up to him, decide he isn’t good enough, and permanently take him away from his home. This goes as I said for both, because they can’t get new bodies on their own. If they’re taken out, living as they were becomes pretty much impossible, which is horrifying.

But Aziraphale specifically I find really interesting because of his situation. Consider this. You are presented with your creator. The person who designed you down to your very molecules, and they tell you the meaning of life. And they tell you you were created to be good. And you watch as all these people, created same as you, fail, and are taken and burned and warped into monsters and you are told they are evil.

And then you meet one of them. And he is kind, and he helps, even better then Heaven can, sometimes. And that is terrifying, because you are told he is evil. So either they, those that created you and everything you have always been meant to do, are wrong, or you cannot yet see how evil he is. And both terrify you. So you spend years waiting for the trap to spring, and it never does, and that can’t be right because he is no longer supposed to be good, he is fallen, and none of that makes any SENSE.

Throughout Good Omens, we see even how Crowley identifies with the role Hell has assigned him (“I’m not NICE.”) but Aziraphale is in a totally different position. Because Crowley has already fallen, he can avoid Hell. And Hell, like Aziraphale learns Heaven is, is fallible. But unlike Crowley, Aziraphale is still an Angel. Aziraphale can still Fall.

And no matter how fallible Heaven is, God is all knowing. He has to live with the fact that God is watching, all the time, and judging his actions. And if She sees them, and decides he has indulged too much, that his love of a demon is wrong, that he is no longer good, he will Fall. And he has spent thousands of years shaping his identity around the word “Angel”. If he falls, he will no longer get to be nice, and kind, and himself, and he is terrified.

Aziraphale is so black and white about things because he is so terrified of what grey means. Because if grey exists the way he thinks it might, then his whole existence for thousands of years might have been wrong. And that is fascinating to me.
