This is my entry/contribution to the Inu-Spiration event 2023!

I was paired up with the amazing @sereia1313 for the Reverse Bang, which has been an amazing experience. ♥

This goes with the fic Tethered on AO3. ♥

Aziraphale didn't choose Heaven

Aziraphale didn't take the job as Supreme Archangel because he wanted to be on Heaven's side again. And he didn't do it to protect Crowley, either.

He did it because he thought it was right.

Because Aziraphale always does what he thinks is right. He has his own moral center, and he will fight tooth and nail for it. He will lie to God's face about giving away his flaming sword for it. He will defy Gabriel and all the archangels at the end of the world for it. He will risk his angelhood to protect children for it; he will risk his precious, peaceful, fragile existence to protect a forgetful archangel for it. He will let Crowley, the love of his life, go on his own to Alpha Centauri for it; and he will leave him again, alone and broken, heartsick at doing so, on Earth for it. 

Because nothing, nothing is more important to Aziraphale than doing the Right Thing. 

And that's what Crowley loves about him. 

Chowder glances at Nursey, who’s broken out into even louder rhapsodies about the night sky and the color of Dex’s eyes, and then back at Dex, who looks tired. “What’s he doing?”

Dex sighs. “Trying to annoy me into making out with him. I told him I was too busy with homework to mess around.”

“Oh.” Chowder looks at Nursey. He hasn’t paused in his recital, but he is now wearing a shit-eating grin. “Is it going to work?”

“No,” Dex snaps.

“Cool,” Chowder says, and ducks out of the room to continue his way to the bathroom.

Five minutes later, when he walks back, there’s a sock on the door handle and some unmistakable noises coming from inside the room. Chowder shudders and hurries to his room to find a pair of headphones.

Coolcoolcoolcoolcool, let’s just cut off Tomas while he’s literally in the middle of a conversation with Pib about the nature of their story and Pib’s unique role as a character within that story (:

I cannot explain how often I think about this part of the Simon’s Quest story. Ough I wanna try to explain every tiny line of this in detail, but I can’t think of words rn aaa, so I’m gonna dump random disjointed thoughts in the tags for now.

I’m putting the links to the English translations of the first two games’ Japanese manuals because their stories are so much cooler than what the western releases got. The second I get everything I can or have thought about this guy together I’m doing in depth story and character analysis for some silly whip man NES games tho—

Lemmy again

junpei being a dick arc !!

Post alternate ending

I refuse to stop talking about Qing Long and Teng She so

Idk what would be funnier:

Qing Long being totally oblivious to the nature of his own feelings and basically having no idea why he enjoys teasing Teng She so much. Like he simply does not question it. This is Normal. He's being so normal about Teng She

Qing Long being perfectly aware that he has a huge crush, but instead of being shy about it like a normal person, he's convinced Teng She will come around eventually. No worries. Meanwhile, teasing him is simply so much fun

These are imho the only two possible interpretations (at the start of their arc) because he's so damn confident?! You can see him waver a little bit in the library scene when Teng She accuses him of having grown sloppy, but that works out either way. Just a few seconds of sudden doubt/confusion.

I mean. There is that one line where he says he found him by noticing his smell in passing, so what if Teng She occasionally has a "scared but also turned on" moment upon being caught by him and ... well. Qing Long can smell it. That'd explain the confidence 😅

Which brings me to "idk which would be funnier" part two:

Teng She being uncomfortably aware of Qing Long's interest the entire time because he, too, has an excellent sense of smell

Qing Long being acespec so his feelings are primarily romantic for now and therefore Teng She suspects, but cannot confirm what's going on

Actually I'm pretty sure the former is funnier but I do like me a good ace headcanon. In fact. Greysexual Qing Long x greyromantic Teng She y/n? Maximum confusion but it all works out in the end 😌

i do wish there was more complicated exploration of steve’s sexuality that wasn’t just ‘well i’ve always liked girls so it can’t be both -> oh it is both’. and maybe this is something i have to solve for myself. but i had a journey of like lesbian? -> bisexual? (still a girl?) -> bisexual (boy now) -> gay man (complicated microlabels aside bc i was like 13-16) and i know a lot of other people don’t have a straightforward ‘i thought i was straight turns out i’m not and this is what i am definitely’ process. so i think it would be cool if we explored that more. with steve. (and not just in a throwaway ‘eddie and steve switch sexualities wouldn’t that be fun’ kind of way. which i have seen). this fandom would not do that i think because they are so attached to tropes and not real examinations of characters like they are human people but i like to imagine. anyways i love gay steve i love gay eddie and i love you

hehe i love you too and i agree 💖💖 i think the most fun part about liking fictional works is being able to at whatever depth of your choosing think about a character and the traits they may or may not possess and something as fun + varied + personal as lgbt identity could be immensely satisfying to explore in a creative world where something like that doesn't get typically explored SO! to each their own but personally i think we have had enough "Oh i'm bisexual now by the way because of eddie yeah did you know you can like both i'm so silly aren't i because i didn't know that" stories. in every possible format and headcanon and what the hell ever.

watched the little mermaid trailer, am once again begging these stupid remakes to stop adding really bad vocal runs to random parts of the songs just so you can pretend this isn’t a copycat cashgrab

daishou and kuroos interaction after the nekoma karasuno match is so funny. its daishou trying to taunt kuroo bc he lost, but when kuroo plays along daishou goes into this talk abt how losing actually shouldnt make u sad. and then kuroo agrees. and daishou gets mad at him for agreeing. but then he goes back into his original talk abt losing and why they play sports in the first place. and then he gets mad. at kuroo. again.
