The beauty of emotional dysregulation combined with a consuming weakness for pointedly balanced fictional gentle giants is that I can look at whatever canon content there may be of the absolute chonkiest of could-snap-you-like-a-twig beasts being more tender than seitan chicken strips and almost implode on an internal "he is sO GENTLE! "

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry, but I guess my squawk was an adequate enough reaction 😂😭
I was curious how this'd go. I just wish they weren't siblings 🥴

can't stop thinking about the missing shower scene from chapter 13 of big name feelings ☺️

I have few regrets (that's a lie, I have many regrets), but my mother not knowing today "what" Aziraphale is because she only knows the German dub of the show and his name sucks in German is a big one for me 😭

Well, I once again underestimated just how good I am at procrastinating.
Have some out-of-order snippets of what I definitely have not written because I am not currently committing to this fanfiction project.
(The text in the screenshots is also copied into the image descriptions. Don't ask me why I took the snaps with my phone in the first place, I'm almost 30 - practically an old person, okay?!)

No clue how quickly I am going to finish this thing, though. I have two other fanfic WIPs and an original short story I'm writing for my mum, so my priorities should lie elsewhere, really. Plus, I still haven't progressed beyond The Light Fantastic, so I still don't know nearly enough about Discworld in general for this type of comittment. (I do, however, have a friend. She is smort and reads, unlike me. I'm just a dingleberry who likes to pretend it knows how to put its imagination into words c: )
Wow, I really do not know how to market myself or my creative work.
Since I am now, at age 27, finally ankle-deep into the Discworld series (and instantly gotten stuck autistically on the first two books and fully in love with Rincewind and Twoflower), I want a Howl's World (Moving Castle) crossover. Just two worlds with wizards of questionable capabilities (and certainly heavily flawed personalities) and their slightly unhinged partners. Seriously, this is growing from want to need by the minute. I have too many projects of my own and absolutely do not know enough about the discworld and the future of these characters in later arcs to make this happen myself. Please. Someone. Anyone.

Right?! That sass from Twoflower had me! I had to pause the audiobook and do some chores all the while grinning and squealing bc afyehdhagfxah!
(Also the 2008 two-parter? I started it thinking "oh, why'd they have to give them this age difference..." and I ended with "okAY THAT IS NOT A HETEROROMANTIC GOODBYE WHAT THE FUCK I DONT CARE ANY MORE GRAMPS AND YOUNGIN ARE MENTALLY SNOGGING AND I'M HERE FOR IT!" Made the ending even more bittersweet 🥺)
I've only just started the Discworld series, but I am so in love with just these two. It's gonna be a while until I can move on from tcom and tlf 😭
Eight books later into this wonderful series and I still can't stop thinking about how well Twoflower and Rincewind know each other at the end of The Light Fantastic.
Rincewind knowing exactly when Twoflower is going to go on about how "quaint" and "beautiful" a place is and thus being able to stop him before Twoflower starts talking!
Twoflower knowing exactly when Rincewind is going to be a sarcastic little bitch and thus also being able to stop him before Rincewing starts talking!
And it all peaking with Twoflower exactly knowing what to say to Rincewind in the finale of The Light Fantastic (spoilers!), with Rincewind dangling above certain death and Twoflower holding on to him, Rincewind loosing all hope and Twoflower just straight up sassing him into not giving up!!!
And these are just the moments I can think of off the top of my head!

Aziraphale looking at Crowley all of S02:
😊😍😚☺️🥰😘

Some people:
I think Aziraphale hates Crowley. Just doesn't like him at all. Cold as ice, that one.

There is something to be said about Aziraphale potentially thinking Crowley is manipulative because of his role as a demon in Temptations. Crowley *did* tempt him into food, at the very least, and *has* lied to him.
I'll also point out that therapists are human too and therefore not always right, make mistakes and misdiagnose (and by extension mistreat) more frequently than they should. (Obviously in a perfect world the frequency should be never, but that's not the world we live in)
That being said, I also don't think Crowley is any more manipulative than most people on this planet. In a way most if not all that we do and say can be argued (in my cynical world view) to be self-beneficial and often persuasive/manipulative. There's always something in it for ourselves, even if it's just a feeling of self-sacrifice, which in turn creates this notion of righteousness.
I don't see Crowley acting out a more amplified version of that. (Nor does Aziraphale, to nip that right in the bud.) Within his capacities as a supernatural, (potentially?? If erasure from existence is a thing???) immortal being, whose limits, limitations and stakes are simply far beyond our own, he acts very human... I don't wanna say "almost humble even" bc honestly he's too balanced for that, in my opinion.
In terms of naivety... idk. Maybe it's a language barrier thing and/or my understanding of naivety encompasses much more than ☝🏻yours. I never viewed naivety as an inherently bad, wrong or laughable thing like many people seem to. To me the trust in goodness (and good intent) is something beautiful and, at times, enviable. Despite my cynicism, I, too, hold on to my naivety (which isn't to be confused with autistic face-value-understanding, but does influence it in my case). I think it's a good thing. Again, maybe my understanding of naivety is biased and incorrect. Maybe it has slightly different connotations in English than it does in German. Maybe I'm just a dingus. I guess just don't like harsh lines to be drawn on most things. Living in that gray area.
They're flawed, as round characters should be, but not 'intentionally harming you're kind of flawed.
So... yeah... I could see Az getting the idea that perhaps he was/is being manipulated by Crowley now and then, and even in the Final 15, but I would think he brushes off that possibility as quickly as we should 🤷🏻‍♂️
Okay this blog is basically now BadAziraphaleTakesAndBadCrowleyTakes
Behold:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NEITHER! OF! THEM! ARE! NAIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we literally have an actual therapist on record saying their relationship and the way they behave toward each other is HEALTHY and that it's only the circumstances that surround them that are unhealthy!!!!!!!!!!! What more proof do we need?????????

Yeah, I too hate it when my love-interest doesn't want to sacrifice an entire universe (or at the very least one planet with all the life forms on it) just so we could spend eternity with each other and probably absolutely nothing else!
Pretty sure, we'll never get bored of that in the slightest and won't have something akin to survivor's guilt. I also am convinced that our respective bosses will leave us fully alone then, never contact us or try to exact any control or influence over our lives.
