Something about Thena kicking ass and Gil just being like “Yep, that’s my wife and I love everything about her and that includes all of her violence” is so funny yet so them.

Could you maybe write it please?

Gil held a hand over his eyes. The sun was ruthless, and it wasn't making the fight any easier. Where did Thena go?

The Deviant plummeting to the ground answered his question, its carcass shattering against the unforgiving earth. Thena landed moments later, stance perfect, flipping her hair out of her face.

Stars and all Celestials, she was beautiful.

"Thena, behind you!" Kingo shouted, already raising his hands.

There was no need. Thena turned, blades already raised. She crossed them, catching the stampeding beast by its horns as it drove itself into its own destruction. She elongated one blade to hold it, turning the other one into a more serrated knife.

The Deviant reared back, roaring as she sliced off one of its horns. She struck swift, cutting its neck and bringing the beast down like it was nothing.

"You are on fire today!" Kingo laughed, raising his hands to her for a double-high-five. He knew he would be ignored, but he still feigned offense. "Come on, T!"

She shook her head, smiling as she walked past him in favour of Gil, which anyone could have seen coming. She inhaled as she arrived, his hands rising to run over her arms before brushing off a few stray specs that managed cling to her armour.

"Have I told you how gorgeous you are when you're killing Deviants?" Gil chuckled, almost whispering in their close proximity. The others were still fighting, but he was focused solely on her as he pushed a few stray locks of hair out of her face.

"Not today," she mused, smiling as he resituated the tiara on her forehead. He leaned in to kiss the bit of skin between her insignia and her hairline.

"What a bad husband I'm being."

Thena laughed, although it melted into a purr as he leaned in to kiss her. Their lips hovered together, "you can make it up to me."

"Oh," he chuckled against the hollow of her cheek, "I plan on it."

"Oi, you two!"

Thena turned. She had sensed it before it was even close to in-range. Her hands were raised before the spear was even complete. The Deviant ran right into it--into her palm, the spear materialising through its head and then out of the back of it. She budged backwards only an inch or two as she held it steady. Gil's hand met her back, reaffirming his support.

"Ugh," Ikaris grimaced at the gruesome methods of his teammate. He was also one of the strongest of the Fighters, and he wouldn't call himself merciful towards the beasts they hunted. But sometimes Thena's ways of killing them were more than even he cared to see.

Sersi also winced as Thena didn't bother de-materialising her spear, instead opting to extract it from her prey the hard way, blood and all. It collapsed at her feet. "She's certainly effective."

They watched as Gil claimed the frighteningly deadly hand in his, bringing it to his lips and swaying her against him by the waist. Ikaris snorted, "only Gil could fawn over a display like that."

Sersi pursed her lips at her own husband, "I think it's cute."

Ikaris watched as Thena tore through another Deviant, this time letting Gil finish it off in a bizarre charade of a romantic activity. "You think?"

Sersi shrugged one of her shoulders, smiling as Thena laughed, obviously having fun as Gil grasped her by the waist and tossed her up in the air to deal with another target. "They're happy. That's all that matters."

Thena drove her trident into the largest one's head, swinging down from it as she constructed a chain link by link. She landed, giving a hard tug and dragging the monster down with her. "Kari!"

The Speedster appeared less than a second later. The impact of her velocity-driven fist between its eyes was just as effective as one of Kingo's shots.

Makkari beamed, raising her hands and receiving the coveted double-high-five her brother had been denied.

"Hey, that's not fair!"

Thena strolled away again, back to the arms of her husband. "Now, what were you thinking in terms of making it up to me?"

#They would flirt on the battlefield like this #all the time #and I will not be convinced otherwise #whether married or not #in the movie #the way he just #gives her a lift #tosses her up there #like they do it all the time #it's the familiarity #it's about the intimacy of it #I am feral

Something something the way that Crowley introduced himself to Aziraphale the first time they met in the garden and reacted as if they had never met before. Something about him later behaving as if he did actually have those memories of their time in Heaven together and trying to pass it off as being someone different now. Something about Heaven's way of punishing angels that go against the plan by erasing their memories. Something about Crowley seeing Gabriel without his memory and saying "ask him properly." Something about "remember it now" "it hurts, to remember. my head isn't built for that" "I know. Do it anyway"

Something about "I know. Looking at where the furniture isn't"

Something about I know

#gomens #good omens #good omens 2 #good omens s2 #good omens spoilers #fan theory #all i'm saying #is that crowley seemed REALLY familiar with the process of losing and regaining memory when it's been taken #and i think it would be fun to make it even more angsty #if crowley pushed himself again and again until he was able to remember aziraphale #and now he remembers heaven and all that it was #and he wants nothing to do with it #and Aziraphale is going back

shout out to when i told my dad about goncharov and he figured out it was fake because i told him "1973 martin scorsese film with robert de niro" and he said that wasn't possible because the godfather came out in 1972 and the godfather part II came out in 1974 and they wouldn't have had time to make a movie in between. a perfectly good jest, foiled by this man's weird and vast knowledge set

#edit i remembered this incorrectly #i confused robert de niro with al pacino he was actually what tipped my dad off #i'll be honest i've never seen the godfather? the only mafia movies i've watched are goodfellas and 1996 lesbian masterpiece bound #so i'm not really familiar with the genre lol #EDIT AGAIN IF ANYONE CARES: I HAVE SEEN GODFATHER PART I AND II NOW. I KNOW HOW WRONG I WAS. WHY DID THIS GO UP 500 NOTES IT'S BEEN MONTHS #goncharov #goncharov 1973 #eddie genius posting

a fact about me is that i was an early bloomer who hit puberty in elementary school and was immediately, obnoxiously horny in ways that were uncomfortable for everyone because no one is prepared for an elementary schooler with b cups and a deep fascination with movies where people get tied up. another fact is that because i was considered smart for my age in the ways that mattered, i just accepted all this as a single package, the many ways that i was not really a child the way other children were children but was instead a miniature adult. i was technically a child, but not really, as far as i was concerned. it also did not occur to me until around high school that i was fat, because i instead considered myself to be sturdy, to be buff, to be built like a tank.

so somewhere around middle school i am noticing the ways in which i am Not Like Other Girls, the ways in which i am not what society says a girl is and the ways that things marketed to girls do not appeal to me. i don't know how other girls dealt with this, but i very rationally decided that i was only technically a girl, in the way that i was only technically a child. so i looked at the things that did appeal to me, and that i did enjoy, and reverse engineered my demographic to decide that on a practical and functional level i was a middle-aged man. i had also gotten really hornily into wolverine because of the first x-men movie, and ended up reading a lot of comics, so as you can imagine the comic book version of wolverine who is short and built like a tank and older than he looks despite being for all intents and purposes a middle aged man really had some appeal to me.

there are idiots who say shit about how tomboys would be considered trans these days or whatever, but i can assure you that was not what was happening here. by middle school i already had to special order bras and i was fine with that because of the many weird fetishes i was developing, none of which can be blamed on the internet because i hadn't found that shit yet and also to this day you would have a hard time finding anything similar to the things i wrote in my secret notebook and immediately destroyed. the fact that i was technically a girl was vital to all this. media where there was a big reveal that some cool dude had been a hot chick the whole time was my shit. weird feral beast people who turned out to be hot women once they took a bath? fuck yes. i would never have cut my hair because that would have ruined my chances to take off a helmet and reveal that i had girl hair. at no point did i think i was anything but a girl, it was just that i was functionally a middle-aged man, who was a girl.

what this means is that i still liked all the things i already liked, such as leather jackets and comic books and anime and old stand-up comedy, but i also did extensive research on the other things i felt i should like according to the demographic i had assigned myself. i watched vh1's 'i love the 70s' with the air of someone trying to hide their amnesia, even though my parents were children in the 70s. i got into the beatles. i tried to get into cars for a while before accepting that i only liked the vintage car aesthetic and couldn't be fucked to know actual car facts. i wore nothing but cargo shorts and aloha shirts for a while, which didn't really stand out that much because it was middle school. i bought a fedora and became a libertarian atheist. i made plans to buy a motorcycle (i could not ride a bike).

i gave up on it after a while because quite frankly my titty situation meant there was never really going to be a big reveal that i'd been a girl the whole time. it was pretty obvious even with the cargo shorts. also the older of a teen i was, the more likely it felt that i could maybe get laid, except i could tell that was never going to happen as long as i kept wearing cargo shorts. it took longer to give up the fedora because it was leather and i wore it with my leather jacket and fingerless gloves, which i convinced myself worked a lot better after i'd gone full high school goth. i lived in the desert so you can imagine how well that worked out for me, smell-wise.

anyway that's how my female socialization went, i don't think it was particularly successful tbqh

#original #the funniest part to me is the vh1 thing #i watched so much vh1 while inexplicably behaving as if i was already familiar with everything i was seeing

Hey Americans, double check that you don't have an election tomorrow, Nov 7th 2023, I know the off years are harder to keep track of, but it'd be a shame if Moms for Liberty gets their people on your school district's school boards because of it. If you don't have an election, great!, but just give it a double check for me if you're not sure ok?

#If you need help finding a sample ballot for it and talking through the options I might be able to help #Although that offer only applies to mutuals and people who have been following me for a while #I'm not going to give advice to people I don't know to be familiar with me

also by the way i am always obsessed with how spider-people just click and can work together without anything being said in spiderverse . mcu spiderman being like "omg ive never worked in a team” “how are we going to work together” “well im on a team so i’ll lead us" like that was the most boring way to do it . spiderverse instead saying "we just know how to work together because our histories and lives are so linked, its like knowing someone your whole life. seeing the self in the other. our lives rhyme.” LIKE I LOVE YOU GUYS

#also that familiarity and trust being broken is what adds tension. thats so good #seeing someone as family and miles finding out that they never warned him about his dad dying #like thats way better than a fight going badly because three versions of peter couldnt click #because uhhh (checks notes) tobey and andrew werent on the avengers #get real. start loving spiderman. cmon.#atsv #atsv spoilers #spiderman
