Aziraphale, Hanging Out On Noah’s Ark Watching The Flood Waters Rise. Hears A Noise Down In The Hull

Let me tempt you to a spot of lunch? Temptation accomplished.

—  GOOD OMENS (2019)

Me to my 21 year old coworker: My darling. My darling please. Wipe up the spilled bleach powder BEFORE you spray a chemical on it.

21 year old coworker: Why?

Me: Because my sweet summer child. When you mix bleach with other chemicals you can accidently create chlorine gas, chloroform, and also give yourself chemical pneumonia!

21 year old coworker: Oh......

What are your favourite p&p fics set in the regency era? x

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: An unusual first meeting between Elizabeth, Bingley and Darcy leads them down a different path.

Being Mrs Darcy: Being Mrs Darcy is a Regency, forced marriage scenario and is rated for mature audiences only and the angst-o-meter is set to high. Remember what Darcy is like in canon pre-Hunsford? I took him at his words to Elizabeth in Chapter 58: “I have been a selfish being all my life (…). [My parents] allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own.” How, then, would he feel if he had a wife thrust upon him – a woman he did not know and whose circumstances in life were very much beneath his own? How will Elizabeth react to being forced to marry a man she doesn’t know and who very clearly does not think highly of her or her family?

Of Time Gone By: A tragic childhood illness changed the life of Fitzwilliam Darcy. When he meets a young gentlewoman named Elizabeth Bennet, his world is transformed again.

The Perfect Gentleman

The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy: The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy is the story of what happens when someone discovers that they are not the person they always thought they were. Twenty-odd years before the start of our story, a terrible crime was committed, leaving one family grieving and another with a new family member. When a long-ago mistake is corrected, what will it mean for everyone involved – those that now lose someone they love, those that regain their missing family member and, most of all, the person struggling with who they thought they were and who they really are.

Seen and Unseen: Fitzwilliam Darcy is immediately intrigued by the witty and fiery woman whose causes him to be thrown from his horse. After this first meeting, Darcy realizes that there is more to the spirited Elizabeth Bennet than his first impressions could ever have revealed.

A Woman Scorned: Every woman wants Mr. Darcy. But Josephine will stop at nothing. One woman’s campaign becomes the ultimate test of E&D’s love…spooky & angsty, but actually pretty damn funny too. Rated mature for sexual content, suspense and occasional language. (WIP)

Tempt Me: Vampire AU 

To Save and Protect: The story begins from the morning Darcy delivers his letter to Elizabeth. Darcy finds out that Elizabeth may be in danger. Being a gentleman in love, he sets out to rescue Elizabeth despite the fact that he knows she hates him. Our hero and heroine get to experience fear, pain, and passion together. Their adventures help them understand themselves and each other better.

A Lady’s Reputation:

A Most Convenient Mishap: A comedy of errors ensues when Elizabeth comes to nurse her sister at Netherfield, beginning with her trunk being placed in the wrong room.

Mr Darcy Steals a Kiss: An alternative view of might have happened in the weeks leading up to Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage.

Five Questions: What if Darcy’s letter caused Elizabeth to question everything she thought she knew? If she was so completely wrong about Darcy, what else did she misconstrue in her life? Would he give her a chance to understand him?

Some Like it Wild: Elizabeth runs away disguised as a young man in response to Mr. Bennet’s insistence she marry Mr. Collins. She asks Darcy for help. He fears for her safety, and the two travel to Pemberley on a roadtrip to happiness.

Rumour Has It: What if Mrs. Philips had gotten it wrong? What if the rumour of Darcy’s worth had been seriously underestimated?

Wholly Unconnected to Me: Dr. Bennet, Lady Catherine’s personal physician, has brought his family to live in the shadow of Rosings park to benefit from the attentions of his patroness. Headstrong Elizabeth seems to thwart the great lady at every turn, but for the sake of Anne, Elizabeth is forgiven–until she refuses to turn her back on Mr. Darcy.

A Case of Some Delicacy: In this what-if story, Mr. Collins’ visit begins about a month earlier than canon, and what a difference that month makes! Since the Bennets have not yet met Mr. Bingley, Mrs. Bennet is nothing but encouraging for a match between Mr. Collins and her eldest daughter. Elizabeth cannot sit by while the happiness of her most beloved sister is sacrificed for the good of the family, but keeping Jane away from the fawning parson is a full-time job. Elizabeth receives help from an unexpected ally. The other Bennet sisters all play roles in the altered events in Hertfordshire as well, some of them in surprising ways. Eavesdropping abounds, secret partnerships are formed, matchmakers and matchbreakers run rampant and general hijinks ensue …

Kidnapped: First Lizzy had learned of Mr. Darcy’s hand in breaking Jane’s heart, and then he had offered the most insulting marriage proposal in history. Could a day get worse? Only if she were to be threatened at sword-point, tied up, and whisked away by a rogue, with only the world’s most arrogant man to watch over her. Luckily, that wasn’t very likely to happen….

Childhood Impressions: Part One of the Elizabeth series, in which Lizzy and her cohort, Fitzwilliam Darcy, travel the English countryside in search of mayhem and mischief.

Mr Bennet’s Daughter: Sequel to Childhood Impressions. Misunderstandings sunder the childhood friendship of Darcy and Elizabeth. Now an independent young woman, Lizzy must work to regain her old friend – who has become the cold-hearted master of Pemberley. Meanwhile, Georgiana falls in love with her piano master and Jane falls in love with Bingley.

I want to blame Crowley for the fact the batteries are running out in my fire alarm and keep chirping at me incessantly but we know Crowley would never permit lax fire safety. Not after a certain

Incident

WOW.

That rabbit/hare post is messing me up. I’d thought they were synonyms. Their development and social behavior are all different. They can’t even interbreed. They don’t have the same number of chromosomes. Dogs, wolves, jackals, and coyotes can mate with each other and have fertile offspring but rabbits and hares cant even make infertile ones bc they just die in the womb. Wack.

I really can’t stop thinking about how the only reason we have this show at all is because of a promise Neil made to Terry, because they had been trying to get it made for years and it kept falling through and then Terry died and Neil absolutely was not going to do it without him but Terry asked him to make sure it got made, so Neil put aside everything he felt about making it without Terry and did it anyway, and not only that but he wrote the adaptations (which as far as I know isn’t something he has done for his other works) and took on the role of showrunner aka a big job that’s a lot of work, and literally didn’t do the thing he does, didn’t write, for almost two years to make sure he could make this show the way it was supposed to be, the way Terry would want it, he did all of that out of love for his friend and to keep his promise. So we’re all losing our minds over these two occult/ethereal beings whose love for each other is as present throughout human history as the sun and stars, whose connection to each other is as fundamental as the earth itself and persists throughout the limitations of time, but the only reason we have that angel and demon and their love is because of the love Neil has for Terry, his own love that transcends the limitations of time, and he took that love and made it into this show he didn’t even want to make once Terry was gone but Terry asked him to so he did anyway, he took the sheer enormity of love he felt for his friend - and it must be enormous, just look at all he did - and he made it into this show, he made a show about transcendental love out of his own transcendental love, and it just feels like something precious and it feels like such a gift and I just don’t want to overlook that and I really want to say: thank you, Neil. Thank you for sharing that love with us.

Rasputin in Popular Culture: Supernaturally vigorous man refuses to die.

Rasputin in Reality: A bunch of nerds who think they know how murder works because they read a book repeatedly fail to kill a man who’s too drunk to realise he’s being murdered.

In the book Golden Girls was Crowley's favourite TV show. Is that also TV Crowley's favourite or does he have a current TV show that he prefers?

I think he’d love The Good Place.

Top five underrated characters from the Ramayana?

1. Urmila is by far, in my opinion, one of the most underrated characters in the Ramayana. Everyone talks about the sacrifices made by Rama, Sita and Lakshman and everyone knows about them but Urmila is generally forgotten. She willingly allowed Lakshman to leave her behind so he could serve Rama and Sita and then gave up fourteen years of her life so he could fulfil his duty properly. She is regarded as a forgotten heroine by Tagore because of her immense duty. 

2. Shatrughan. He governed Ayodhya in Rama’s absence in terms of administration whilst Rama and Lakshman were in exile and Bharat was living like a sage. He also slew Lavansura, Raavana’s nephew, and is mostly forgotten in comparison to Rama, Lakshman and Bharat. 

3. Mandodari because she always strove for good and is again for the most part forgotten. She suffered for being Raavana’s wife and yet she still tried to persuade him to return Sita as well as saving Sita from death and rape. She is generally overlooked.

4. I think one of my favourite lesser known events is between Rama and Lakshman where Lakshman claims that as he is the younger brother of Rama he has to serve him which was unfair. It is said this is why he was reborn as Balarama on the Mahabharata so that he could have a chance to be served. I’m not entirely sure how accurate this is but I can certainly imagine it.

5. The birth of Sita is one of the most interesting stories I think. She was found in a field and hence Janak named her Sita but there are different stories about who her birth parents were. The most common is that she is the daughter of Bhumi Devi but other stories suggest that the apsara Menaka was her mother or even that she was the daughter of Raavana and was abandoned because she would cause his death.
