I saw a TikTok saying that most people are literally just their OTP combined into one person and you are so right !! I am YuiKou !! ✨ /LH !!

i hope you all have a wonderful day ☺️

Drawing Keith and his dad being happy hurts my soul a little bit

we are less than a month into 2024, and I’ve already had two cis male academics not be able to acknowledge that they were wrong, or that their perspective was not the right one from which to consider a problem, in the same week. on two different platforms, no less.

neither of them were straight, either, which was doubly disappointing!!! but just goes to show, ig

so. academia is still consistent, in case anyone was wondering ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

i have not touched my tablet since 2019 but this vision would not leave my head

i've fallen so deep into this musical

I started my jk fic (finally). But I probably won’t be able to focus on it until I finish this semester. These past few months have been turning my brain into mud, and it’s been a STRUGGLE to put out anything I’ve been truly proud of. Let’s hope that changes soon.

oh yeah it's rough tonight girlies

I was like "oh I'm not gonna log in to ffxiv tonight so I can get some work done"

and since starting "work" 1.5 hrs ago I have painted a few strokes, checked tumblr and stared at my screen

my neck fucking hurts so bad and i cant find another picture to express how i feel

need to share an experience i had 30 minutes ago

(edit: thanks to @walks-the-ages for providing and reminding me to put alt text, sorry it slips my mind alot lol)

okay i think i have secured the desk i want for wayyyyyy way way cheaper than they're selling it online and my older brothers are willing to help me move it now all i have to do is finish cleaning my room. and im gonna try to do it tomorrow because idk when they will want to go pick it up but it'll be good to have something that gives me a push to do it

Y’all, the Archive admins are made up of VOLUNTEERS. And they have been working for 12-13 HOURS STRAIGHT.

I better not hear any complaints when donation period comes around. OR ELSE.

cosplay by @woahchriswoah on Twitter

EDIT: How do we show appreciation to the volunteers? For me reading these deep dives on OTW issues u guys apparently it's been said multiple times that one of their objective statements is to have paid staff for ao3 and there's a surplus of donations they haven't used up or the other community solutions that needs to address. For those more financially literate feel free to analyze, snipe me or add to the discussion etc. linked here by deepa. They’re cool and these yearly analysis they did aint no joke.

But Seriously what can we do for these volunteers? The probable burn out from this entire fiasco would be no joke. @ao3org

the depression is real tonight lol

We’re truly blorboing our way thru the pain and the struggles over here folks

I have been working at for the last 2 days something that was supposed to be a quick fun goofy video. At this rate I'm gonna be able to make a bonus video of how many times I fail

It's about Crowley bearing witness to Aziraphale's desire, about the way that desire is animal and visceral and enormous and terrifying*. And about how Crowley sees that and wants it. Crowley offers the ox rib and watches Aziraphale eat because eating provides them no sustenance, it's purely for pleasure, sensual, selfish. And Crowley introduces Aziraphale to this, and thousands of years later still takes obvious pleasure in feeding Aziraphale, in watching him eat. In watching Aziraphale's pleasure.

And I think it's significant the things we see Crowley put into his body in s2, and why: six shots of espresso, as something bracing before seeing what it is that made Aziraphale call him in his "something's wrong" tone; whiskey, because he has to give Aziraphale some bad news; wine, because they "might as well get comfortable" during the storm coming down on Job, after Aziraphale learns that Crowley is actually pretty unhappy with Job's suffering; and poison, to dispose of it so Elspeth (or Wee Morag, I've fogotten which is which) doesn't die. Crowley doesn't take Aziraphale's "something that calms you down", only consumes things that not only don't bring him pleasure but are an attempt to prevent pain. Crowley, who introduced Aziraphale to this important physical, sensual, selfish pleasure, denies it to himself. He denies himself the eccles cakes, he denies himself partaking in food, and he denies himself Aziraphale.

And we see throughout the rest of the season other things he's denying himself: the comfort and safety of a home in the bookshop in favor of the mobility and ready-made escape of living in the Bentley, the surety of saying what he really means during the confession. He cannot bring himself to admit what he wants, that he wants. Gabriel and Beelzebub "going off together" is not what he wants. He wants Aziraphale, but he doesn't say that, because he's never, in the years and years and years we've seen this season, let himself want or be seen wanting. "Going off together" is as close as he can get to speaking it. "A group of the two of us" is as close as he can get. So he has to watch as Aziraphale leaves and takes his pleasure in the world with him.
