It was a point of wisdom to treat your local angel well. Mind, it wasn't exactly advice he was good at following, but maybe that was the wisdom finally kicking in his old age. His attention pissed off that cranky old snake, too, and it was impressive that it was for the right reason. Aziraphale had unknowingly stumbled into the very dirty trick of owing John Constantine somewhere down the line.

Heaven truly was incompetent if they hadn't warned such a sweet thing like Aziraphale about him. He used to think maybe that was why Crowley slunk around him. Aziraphale needed a bodyguard and the demon had either assigned himself or Heaven and Hell were working together again. Turned out to be much more mundane. Poor bastard was in love. With a goddamned angel. As though reality really could be some young adult novel.

"Cor, y'know, holy objects put me on edge. Don't mind usin' 'em, but don't care much to keep 'em round me house. Hate to see it wasted, tho. Maybe keep it for a holiday. Do you lot celebrate holidays? Christmas? Halloween?" A sly look. "Anniversaries?"

"Dunno how y'feel bout beer, but this stuff might change y'mind. Found it sortin' out an old storage locker. Reckon it's still good t'drink, jus' don't let y'demon have any. It's blessed." (for Aziraphale, cos some things need to be threaded) @laughingmagi gave an angel a most tempting gift.

There was once a time when his bookshop had the resemblance of a tea house, empty save for a table and a pair of comfortable chairs and the bell attached to the front door rang for only one. As centuries passed and his collection grew, new people and strangers started coming and going as they like. The bell turned into a brass herald of the coming of a customer so that Aziraphale could prepare to put them back where they belonged—outside and nowhere near his precious collection.

It was odd that he didn't hear the bell. Luckily, angels had an innate ability to sense the presence of others. It made them good at their job. He felt the presence in his shop, sharp like the kick of the old gin and tonic in the back of one's throat. There was also another, no less significant but unmistakably divine. That confused him.

"Oh. It's you," said the angel with about as much enthusiasm as someone awaiting a root canal procedure. Without much of a greeting the man explained his latest gift (and he had been giving ample gifts for a period of time. It was starting to worry Aziraphale. No, correct that, it was starting to worry Crowley). It looked unassuming, as a bottle of beer went. A thin layer of foam on top, perhaps due to its journey in John's coat pocket, with a crystal crispness about the bottle that made you want to touch it, pop the cap and drink deeply. It was, unmistakably, the source of that odd divinity he felt earlier.

Aziraphale turned his attention back to the man, the latest magician in his long bloodline. He was a little wide-eyed when he asked, "Are you sure you want to be giving me this?"

I'm awake finally switching my sd cards between mobile and mp3 player. Sometimes my music's been acting weird and I think it's because I've been using the generic sd card that came with it. Anyway, if you're awake too, you should send me questions about John or whatever.

#honestly a fucking pox on the person who decided to put sd cards on the same slot as your sim card #seriously tho

The heat sucked at his skin as they stepped out the sliding doors. It had been years since the last time he'd been to California, probably not since he and Rip had gone on an extremely extended holiday after he'd been kicked from Ravenscar. Though Rip would likely disagree, he was glad they'd be taking a cab to the hotel they would be staying at in L.A. The plan was to rent a car in the morning, be in Sunnydale by the evening, and hopefully run into the Slayer.

"Bugger me, I'm glad I let you convince me to pack me coat instead of wearin' it on the flight," John groused, dragging his rolling suitcase behind him as he headed toward the smoking section. Usually he didn't care but American airports made him nervous, swarming as they were with security and gross consumerism. "Y'reckon we should drop in on Zee while we're at it? I don't think her residency in Vegas starts for another month or two."

So I'm working on writing a original thing and in it a character gets a tarot reading, so I broke out my deck and set up a reading with the character in mind. It is startlingly consistent, both for what I'm planning for the story and his personality. It's pleasantly spooky lmao. Well, I'm rusty but it seems I still got it.

#idek idek idek #I've always just been very good at interpreting the cards #not that I'm psychic or anything #I don't exactly believe in the tarot as a tool for divination it's more like...an illustrative guide #cards are put into a particular order to create a flow and produce a narrative #tbd probably #ooc;

◟ ✶ ┊ 𝑯𝑶𝑾 𝑼𝑵𝑳𝑰𝑲𝑬𝑨𝑩𝑳𝑬 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼?

You are a somewhat difficult person to get along with (50.71%).

Callousness is characterized by lacking empathy or concern for others. People high in callousness typically have deficits in genuine social sentiments and are often experienced by others as coarsely uncivil. In other words, they often make people feel uncomfortable.

Grandiosity can be described as having a grandiose sense of self-importance and the thought that one is better than others. People high in grandiosity often tout their abilities and their accomplishments while downplaying the contributions of others. They tend to put themselves on a pedestal and have a sense of entitlement about them.

✶ Aggressiveness is the tendency to behave rudely and with hostility toward others. Aggressiveness may be doubly hurtful to others if combined with callousness, since the aggressive person may thus be both intimidating and unfeeling in their demeanor.

Suspicion is the tendency to harbor a strong and unreasoning distrust of others. Suspicious people often question the motives of even those who act loyally and devotedly toward them. Such people are often reluctant to open up to others and may interpret kind-hearted gestures as attempts to deceive them.

✶ Manipulativeness is the inclination to exploit others to derive benefits for oneself. Manipulative people take other people for granted and use them to realize their own wishes and goals, thinking little of interpersonal reciprocity or the rights of others. Such people often exhaust and frustrate those around them, since they give little in return for the services and favors they extract from others.

✶ Dominance is the tendency to put on airs of superiority and talk down to others. Domineering individuals have a strong desire to be seen as leaders and often react with combativeness when they cannot get what they want. They frustrate others by meddling in their affairs and with their attempts to control the decisions of those around them.

✶ Risk-taking is the propensity to engage in risky behavior for the sake of experiencing thrills. People high in this trait impulsively seek sensations to overcome boredom, and often get pleasure from shocking others with their adventures and stunts. Risk-takers often make those around them ill at ease since their actions may have consequences for others as well as themselves.

◟ ✶ ┊ 𝑯𝑶𝑾 𝑳𝑰𝑲𝑬𝑨𝑩𝑳𝑬 𝑨𝑹𝑬 𝒀𝑶𝑼?

You are a somewhat likable person (54.29%).

✶ Friendliness: Those who score high in friendliness generally exude openness, warmth, and enthusiasm; they often make others feel welcome and comfortable. Congenial people are obviously likable as they make us feel warm and fuzzy. They also often smile and make everyone feel included.

✶ Humor: We like people who make us laugh, and we feel drawn to people who humorously break the tension in demanding situations. Moreover, moods are contagious, and we like to spend time with those who are happy and energetic. It is also important to be able to balance passion and having fun; humorous people who can be serious while maintaining a positive vibe are often especially well-liked.

Happiness: One element that attracts us to others is the feeling that they are happy with who they are – comfortable in their own skin and where they are in life. People who thus have “nothing to prove” will often have an easier time being honest, taking a genuine interest in others, and manifesting an air of ease and straightforwardness around themselves.

Kindness: Kind people are helpful, generous, and considerate; they tend to draw others to them. We tend to want to connect with people who have been caring to us. We also tend to pay special attention to such people – those who seem appreciative of us and are genuinely humble in their interactions with us. Understandably, we like to spend more time with individuals who are empathetic, charitable, courteous, and nurturing toward us than with those who are the opposite.

✶ Positivity: Optimistic people make others feel empowered and happy; they positively affect those around them since they can find something good in most people and situations. This trait also covers lavishing others with positive and encouraging comments. Moreover, such people tend to show positive body language such as strong posture, smiling, and having open shoulders.

✶ Tolerance: People who score high in this trait are often curious about and interested in others while showing tolerance and understanding, which in turn makes them interesting to others. They also practice active listening and make the people around them feel seen and important. People high in this trait are likable since they are approachable and do not have a judgmental attitude. We often do not like to have conversations with those who have already formed an opinion of us in their heads and are unwilling to listen.

Honesty: Research has shown that we gravitate toward people who can be relied upon to be honest, dependable, and loyal. Such people are often consistent and try their best to not let their own moods affect how they treat others. Likewise, such people try to be genuine – clear and frank about their opinions – and strive to avoid lies, betrayals, and misleading others. Trustworthy individuals generally know who they are and are confidently comfortable in their own skin.
