Psych has potential to be the most on crack Death Note AU in existence. Psych x Death Note in any capacity is comedy gold, but as a Death Note AU, the potential is just there.
Imagine it with me now:
- At some point in arc 1, Light decides to lie his ass off and pretend to be a psychic. The reason could range from damage control in case of a potential slip of the tongue, or literally just to fuck with L. (Light thought building a bomb in his desk was normal, the possibilities are endless with this man.) - L knows this is bullshit from the start but like with the whole Kira thing, can’t prove it. - Almost everyone else decides to roll with this because “why would you lie about this? Being a psychic in this case looks SUPER suspicious, but also too suspicious to actually be Kira.” - They do have their own opinions on this, ranging from Matsuda finding it really cool to Aizawa always having doubts, but keeping relatively quiet about it (arc 2 would be where that part starts to change). - Eventually, it’s decided that if Light’s a psychic and supposedly not Kira, maybe he can help solve the Kira case with this ability. It’s framed as an attempt to fight fire with fire, but it’s actually L upping the ante on their cat and mouse game. Either Light gives up information or exposes himself as a fraud. - Light could use Misa to keep up the ruse, depending on the story arc this could be anything from creating fake scenarios, to gathering information on Higuchi and informing Light in secret. Then again he could also just keep pulling all the nonsense he usually does and get the same result. - Ryuk also keeps getting dragged into all of Light’s shenanigans. Despite making it clear to Light he’s not going to help him, he somehow ends up doing it anyway. - Meanwhile Light's Dad spends the whole time either suffering immensely because he knows this is bullshit, or really confused about how his son being a whole ass psychic slipped under the parenting radar. - And Light can’t stop the ruse once L’s out of the way. No, he's gonna need to keep that shit going for five years until arc 2. That would probably be when the typical Psych shenanigans really kick into high gear.
The fact that I've been seeing a lot of TF2's 10th class OCs from so many artists have me thinking: Since that is the case, we might have a few dozen classes now.

Good Omens is a story of so many well placed layers, and no matter how long I've been looking into it, there's always more to discover. I can't believe how carefully everything is written, with no detail feeling unintentional or off -
Even though I might not understand immediately *how* it all plays together, I feel the atmosphere it creates, enchanting my mind with every line.
I did not know how well it resembled emotional trauma, -at least consciously-, but I knew deep down there was something I could relate to, something I missed in so many other stories I read.
And I loved how it was handled.
I don't think I can ever fall out of love with it, there's just too much amazing me every time I read it.
I think one of the reasons Good Omens speaks so intensely to so many people is how it handles abusive relationship dynamics and, of course, the deeply hopeful resolution that is so incredibly rare when this topic is explored.
Good Omens just handles and illustrates the concept of emotional trauma so well. Particularly as it relates to toxic relationships, and childhood emotional and psychological abuse.
A lot of the stories and allegories we get in modern media are about physical abuse. Here though, we see the fallout of controlling relationships. How subtle and deceptive and insidious they are. How, unless you’ve gotten lucky enough to gain some outside perspective, you can’t even see it for what it is.
Good Omens perfectly illustrates two different sides of the victims of abusive family relationships:
Aziraphale is the compliant one. He really tries to see the good in everyone and he’s unintentionally an apologist because, through no fault of his own, he’s been completely brainwashed. Because he’s a good being, his priority isn’t himself, but others. Extending grace to everyone but himself is so intrinsic to who he is that he expects no reciprocity. Even though he can’t shake the feeling that something is off, he’s been taught not to trust himself and therefore continues to brush it off or to simply choose not to think about it. (Aziraphale’s self immersion in the hedonistic comforts of humanity is his chosen form of dissociation)
Aziraphale is NOT however, completely unrebellious. His priority, though, whether he’s aware of it or not, is self-preservation, as is invariably the outcome in a family situation like this one. He is very good at perceived compliance but ultimately motivated by other things. The first example we see of this is in giving his sword away in the garden. He follows this up with many small, mostly ignored acts of non compliance - his association with Crowley, his love affair with humanity, indulging his hedonistic tendencies etc. - without endangering his position, firmly on the side of the angels. Yet, like anyone who has ever been in this type of family dynamic, he is very motivated by fear. He fears consequences because he knows they will not be merciful. He mentions this quite a few times throughout the story, worried both for himself and for Crowley.
Crowley is the proverbial black sheep. He questions authority. If something feels wrong, he’s not going to let it go. Crowley has a very strong sense of right and wrong but where it differs from that of Aziraphale’s is that it is intrinsic. It relies on free will, on choice. Something can’t be purely right unless it is free from outside controlling influences. Force is never right, manipulation is never right. Crowley doesn’t believe in artificially imposed “morals” and he cannot reconcile the incongruence of heaven beating everyone over the head with “goodness” and forcing them to comply with it, especially when things like infantcide and crucifiction are involved and everyone is just supposed to be ok with that.
So he questions. He probably did so respectfully. “Respect your elders and betters” is definitely something you are browbeaten with in a dynamic like this. That, however, is a transgression that is not easily forgiven unless you drop it immediately and never bring it up again. Clearly, this is not what happened. And the consequence was being kicked out of heaven and punished. And he never really gets over it. He was betrayed by his family and that’s not something that ever heals right.
He “hung around the wrong people” because, under the circumstances they were the only others around. Crowley gives the distinct impression of a kid that was thrown out of his abusive family and inadvertently ended up in a gang of anarchists because self-preservation is something you learn early in a situation like that.
Heaven is very much an “ends justify the means” crowd. Of course, the “end” in this case isn’t particularly great either and in fact the only goal involved is the elimination of the other side, the perceived “evil” to Heaven’s “good”. Heaven perceives “good” as submission to the rules and they the enforcers of it. Hell perceives “evil” as the opposite of that but really it just boils down to choice.
Hell’s manifesto then, as it were, is really just “do the opposite of what Heaven wants” (i.e. chaos) But Crowley takes that a step further because he believes in the value of choice. It’s what he’s been pushing Aziraphale towards since they met.
What makes this story so delightful and so satisfying is that Aziraphale ultimately chooses to say no to his family. He chooses, well, to have a choice, and defend others rights to choice. He leaves the abusive dynamic and he chooses Crowley and himself and humanity. He learns boundaries and stops allowing himself to be controlled. And we get such a good representation of how hard that is to do. But we also get to see that he’s not going to have to do it alone. Crowley is never going to leave him on his own, not even when he says he is. And that’s what eventually drives Aziraphale to make the choice; Heaven’s controlling superiority or Crowley’s unrelenting support.
Crowley’s arc is that he’s caught in the middle. He’s not ruthless enough for Heaven or for Hell and he’s unable to deny his personal convictions enough to convincingly fake it. He didn’t want to fall. He didn’t want to be evil. He just didn’t want to be whatever it is Heaven is.
So he’s out there, alone, doing his best to survive and blend in until he runs into Aziraphale and finds a kindred spirit. And Crowley can’t help but to be drawn to Aziraphale because he’s different. He’s kind. Because, even though the angel doesn’t know it yet, Aziraphale is like Crowley and they’re destined, someday, to be on their own side.
Angst with a happy ending, indeed.
Not my Dad saying stuff like "Your trousers are awful, they make you look like an old man."
Like thanks for the compliment, that's exactly what I'm going for xD
As much as I love Canadian bands it sucks to like them sometimes because the more obscure ones like Trooper or April Wine or Loverboy have so few posts made about them and nobody really talks about them. Also on the topic, I am so fascinated by how bands so well known around here aren’t known at all across the world. Like, Glass Tiger or Platinum Blonde get very decent radio play around here—but I doubt that none outside of Canada would know who they are. The same goes for Trooper and in some ways Kim Mitchell. Only bands like Rush and The Guess Who out of all of the Canadian classic rock bands out there (particularly from the 70s-80s) are known fairly well outside of Canada. It makes me sad that I can’t find Trooper or Loverboy posts, likely because they’re names of some more popular thing.
Just a random ramble (don't mind me)
When you join a discord server you've been wanting to join for a while, and you want to say hello but end up being too scared to actually say hello 😔 (I just wanna make friends 🥲) (But I always overthink every single thing I want to say And end up not saying anything at all- 😭)
Prompt:
Person A dies single (they could have dated a few times if you want) and never have met their true love yet but fate has other plans even after death, instead of going to heaven or hell, Person A was sent to Person B's home (You could decide on what their lifestyle is). For a while Person A wonders why he's there. Then one day at some accident (You could decide the accident) they were able to keep Person B safe. It turns out Fate sent you there to be your soul mate's guardian angel.
I need to vent. I need to put my thoughts into words (i will fail to do so but i will try)
(spoilers for chapter 284 of boku no hero academia, in case someone will read this (highly doubt it) and haven’t read the manga; read it yesterday and still cant take my mind off it, probably never will)
HE DOES CARE!!
HE DOES REGRET THE THINGS HE HAS DONE TO IZUKU!!
I hate it when I see shit about saying that Katsuki hasn’t grown or is an asshole. He changed. He acknowledged his weakness and is trying to make up for the mistakes he has done. He’s trying to atone it in a way he knows he can. Katsuki is worried about Izuku just like the rest. He knows Izuku since they were little, he’s known him and knows how he would think.
HE FUCKING CARES!!
If that isnt character development I dont know what else is.
My bakudeku shipping heart cant take this.
