(on the verge of divine insanity filled with a need for retribution in bloodlust) everything happens for a reason!

cast out of paradise

I just know brennan felt so badass during that reveal

god rewatching the show is brinignme so much joy ❤️

My spoiler free thought on Shazam 2 is that while I had a lot of fun and laughed a lot (and knew it wouldn't be quite as good as the first one) my main issue with this one is the Asher Angel to Zachary Levi ratio. It's actually kind of bullshit. Yes ZL does a perfect job of acting like a teenager but to hardly ever get to see the ACTUAL teenager makes me mad. I love Billy and I LOVE Asher's Billy. He's just so good and the scenes he did have were GREAT but I needed more. There were multiple scenes where everyone was just sitting around talking as the adult versions where they didn't need to be. The whole point is that he's a kid but then we never get to see him???

I've noticed a lot of people calling pre-fall Crowley "the Starmaker" in their posts since season 2 aired and idk it just makes me very emotional

If you're into theorising about what his name was before the fall, more power to you but I for one wouldn't be the least bit sad if the adorably excitable curious angel he used to be simply remained the Starmaker to all of us forever

holier than thou

OKAY I GOT IT SIR PLS CALM DOWN— like, i know he is often being mistaken as holy figures or even a dragon is not without a reason after all.

to quote my bestie and pulitzer prize winner tony kushner “hope isn’t a choice, it’s a moral obligation, an obligation to the cells in your body” and “it is an ethical obligation to look for hope; it is an obligation not to despair.” like god. it is so fucking hard it is harder than anything in the world to wake up and have faith that things will be better and we can change things but it is the only thing we tangibly have and can pass on to other people. idrk where i was going with this but yea

always an angel, never a god

Sephiroth but if he was desi... he is not beating the pretty boy allegations

"Desiroth" coined by my dearest bestie @nyatimesthree 🫶 thank you babes. anyway silly video I made and posted to instagram at 5am is under the cut

he estuans on my interius until i ira vehementi (sephiroth !!)

drops this while running from responsibilities

The thing about Crowley is that he already tried fighting* the system and the end result was his fellow rebels making a new system suspiciously similar to the old system with torture pits and demotivational posters in place of the aggressive hypocrisy and kardashiancore interior decorating. And then after that he decided to fight the apocalypse and the apocalypse thwarted itself with minimal involvement required from him. His biggest contribution was fucking up a simple handoff completely accidentally. His apparent belief that it'll all sort itself out without him or it won't and either way his involvement will be largely irrelevant to everyone but himself is pretty well founded. I'm sure by the end of season three he'll have learned a valuable lesson about how admitting that you want to make positive contributions to the world is something you can do on your own terms and not simply an exercise in opening yourself up to god's preordained judgement and hell's torture pits and but he's old and tired and has probably never been kissed let him have a very specific vision for his retirement.

*ok his version of fighting was probably just asking a lot of very annoying questions and then semi-accidentally joining a rebellion.

"The Advocate Magazine" interviews Justin Kirk about Angels in America's Prior Walter

I saw a post before that said Virgin Mary was the first self-shipper who ship herself with God.. I can't unsee this

Tbf she really wasn't/didn't bc she didn't actively self-ship she was just kinda vibing until an angel told her "hey, blessed be the fruit of your womb whom you will name Jesus" and she was like "? Well if God wills it, so be it"

okay raza, let's do this one more time...
