We Screech And We Laugh And We Make Gifs. But Have You Considered How Utterly Excruciating It Is To Realise

We screech and we laugh and we make gifs. But have you considered how utterly excruciating it is to realise that the one person you trusted to have your back, doesn't? That in the end, for whatever reason, they did not choose you?

If they ever want to be together, an apology dance is so far from being enough it's heartbreaking. Somehow, they need to process their emotions. They need to re-establish a trust that's been broken. They need to convince one another that, given another choice, they would put Us first.

Writing a GO one-shot and I just had the realization.

I don't think Crowley tempts as a demon. I don't think he has a temptatious bone in his human-but-snake-like body. As much as he wants to believe it, I don't think he can tempt at all. I can't think of a single moment he actually does tempt someone, honestly.

I think Crowley merely suggests. He just brings up the idea that theres another option. Think about it:

"Dont want wine? Okay. Try an ox rib. You might like it."

"Don't agree with head office's rules? Okay. How about an arrangement then? Two birds, one stone."

"Don't want Armageddon to happen? Okay. Me neither. We can try to raise him on a neutral upbringing, kill him, or run away together. Which is best?"

He is not a demon. Demons tempt. And what he does? Not even remarkably close.

What he is, is a walking, talking suggestion box. And I'm so here for it.

Oh, no, how dare you!? You can't make me choose between the ORIGINAL ONE and my newest obsesion, that is so not fair

Yes, but do keep in mind I don't think of Crowley (or David Tennant) a normal amount, so...

Is there anyone on this feed who thinks of Aziraphale just a normal amount?

Literally THIS!

I guess you recovered from being a pointless hater

Lol. Lmao. Nah. I stand by my hatred of s1 Izzy. I just happen to also be ready to fight for s2 Izzy now 🤷‍♀️

public libraries in the usa offering free digital library cards to people not in their areas (as of october 2023):

brooklyn (13-21yo us residents)

seattle (13-26yo us residents)

boston (13-26yo us residents)

los angeles (13-18yo california residents)

san diego (12-26yo us residents, not the whole collection just commonly banned books)

these cards (part of the books unbanned initiative) get you access to each library's complete libby/overdrive collection (unless otherwise mentioned), no hoopla/kanopy/physical copies included.

ebook collections are expensive to maintain (many american libraries have annual fees for non-residents because of this) but because of an uptick in book banning (particularly brutal in mississippi last summer) larger libraries have opened their doors more, which is very kind of them!

i've used my seattle card for the last several months and their libby collection has about three times the books that my local library does, which is wonderful for accessing more niche titles or skipping a waiting list. would love to hear of similar ebook initiatives internationally!

i use library extension (firefox/safari/chrome compatible) to check all my collections (+ the internet archive) at once, works for several different countries highly recommend it.

spotify seems to be offering 15hrs/month of audiobook listening to premium subscribers and while that does seem useful if you're already paying and are after a new release with a long library waitlist, libraries are better for everything else.
