The Urge To Redesign Ryuk To Be Like A Massive Monster From The Depths Of Hell Is So Constant Bc Like

people discussing fiction are always like “codependent relationships are unhealthy, we need to talk about how dangerous they are, they’re toxic” why? are you in the relationship too? are you these characters’ therapist? personally I just wanna watch these two fake people be fucked up in each other’s direction

Every time I see your art I have to think "is this MLB or ohshc" for a good few seconds and I wouldnt have it any other way <3

I mean, there’s a reason unfortunately

thinking about Good Omens 2. and stories, and the shape of them, and Terry Pratchett and his themes. and something clicked.

Aziraphale is cackling.

it's not just the ball. he spends the entire season trying to force the story into a shape it's not, and everyone suffers for it.

i've seen some less than charitable takes on Crowley's actions and they all ignore how much Crowley did try to talk to Aziraphale, did try to ask Aziraphale questions, did try to help, only to be ignored or brushed off. because his questions, his offers, they didn’t fit with the story Aziraphale was telling himself.

quiet, gentle, and romantic. it was, if you're our favorite Angel - right up until the end, at least. because he decided that's the story he was in. from the very beginning, he's off in la-la land, living out this romcom with a cute little mystery wrapped up in it, completely ignoring what's actually going on around him. i'll set Nina and Maggie up! (completely ignoring that Nina tells him she has a partner, and at that point, he has no reason to think she's anything less than happy.) i'll take ~our~ car to go do investigate this silly little mystery (he's not taking it even a little bit seriously!) while you stay here and run the bookshop and it will be so quaint and domestic! soon we'll dance and confess our feelings that we obviously share because we're already so clearly a couple we just need to finally say it!

Crowley knows the entire time that they're in a horror story but Aziraphale ignores every attempt he makes to point that out because it doesn't fit the story he decided he's in the middle of.

he brushes off Crowley's concerns and questions - his QUESTIONS! - like they're nothing. he doesn't want to see it, so he doesn't. and Crowley should have told him more?

why would he?

when you are CLEARLY in distress and it's being BLATANTLY AND WILLFULLY IGNORED, what the fuck are you supposed to do? "Crowley didn't comminicate" well okay if I were having a panic attack about something and my husband completely ignored it, chattering on about our dinner plans or whatever, that wouldn’t exactly make me want to open up about what was wrong! that would send the very fucking clear signal that he didn't want to know!

words aren't the only way we communicate and Crowley's body language, the entire season, is that of someone who is living in a horror story, knows he's living in a horror story, and is fucking terrified. if Aziraphale were paying any attention to Crowley instead of focusing all his energy trying to set things up just so for the big climax of his love story, he would know something major was wrong.

why would Crowley have told him how cruel Gabriel was about the execution when Aziraphale's already so thoroughly convinced that heaven is pure and good and has shown over and over through the millennia that he's not really open to considering that it can be cruel!

just look at them at the dance. Crowley freaking out because there's a horde of demons out there and Aziraphale giggling as they go to dance. that's the whole season!

you know who Crowley reminds me of this season?

he's watching helplessly and with increasing levels of distress as Aziraphale shoves every plot point into the romcom hole even though it's obviously not remotely romcom shaped! and i'm sick of people saying he was abusive because he raises his voice about it a few times!

FACTS

Sidoh, a shinigami, comes to the human realm to get his notebook back

The notebook is in the hands of the mafia, led by Mello, so Sidoh establishes contact with them

After an undetermined amount of time (but that couldn't be longer than some minutes) Sidoh is shown eating chocolate

PREMISE

Mello would not have given Sidoh the chocolate he was eating, seeing as if anyone touched it Mello would probably kill them in an unhinged laughing rampage of violence

We also know he didn't do that because Mello is still showing the same bar of chocolate as before

The rest of the mafia wouldn't be insane enough to give one of Mello's chocolate bars to a shinigami without consent, and they have no reason to have any chocolate bars themselves

CONCLUSION

Mello himself took the time to open his Chocolate Vault™ and get one of his spare bars to give to Sidoh

He just needed him to know what chocolate tasted like ASAP i guess

That is all

I need you to know that 'do you ever wonder what it's like to be the dead wife before she's dead' is one of those one line poems that's going be etched into my soul forever. bc you're so right and so many fics I've read either directly or indirectly try to work through that,

because god what kind of existence must that have been? what's it like to have someone break their promise to let death part you? what's it like to have someone revere you in image and in concept but not in practice and in life? what's it like to have your own lifetime overshadowed by the mythos one man has created around you? what's it like to not even get the dignity of being the dead wife because he refuses to let you rest/die? what is it like to be the center of an obsession?

and thats all assuming we have an accurate understanding of how Gabe showed her love when she was alive!! even more, equally tragic questions abound if he is/was in fact capable of a more healthy expression of love previously

TUMBLR USER PHIN-AND-FROB YOU GET ME YOURE GETTING ME SO MUCH RN "what's it like to have someone break their promise to let death part you" is CRAAZY that one's gonna be etched into MY soul forever. something something what is it like to have your life overshadowed by your death before you've even died. what's it like to have your death cast aside in favor of an obsession with your life. what's it like to be something transient, etched into the mythos of your family's ruin before it even happens. how long can one person live as the star at the center of a system knowing they're going to burn out? what's it like to be the dead wife before she's dead? do you think she practiced? until she was perfect?
