I've Come To Realize There Are Only Two Kinds Of Tragedies: Preventable And Inevitable. Preventable Tragedies

i've come to realize there are only two kinds of tragedies: preventable and inevitable. preventable tragedies are the kind where everything could have maybe worked out if only. if only romeo had gotten the second letter. if only juliet had woken up earlier. if only creon had changed his mind about antigone sooner. if only orpheus hadn't turned around.

inevitable tragedies are the kind where everything was always going to end terribly. of course macbeth gets deposed, he murdered his way to the throne. of course oedipus goes mad, he married his own mother. of course achilles dies in the war, he had to fulfill the prophecy in order to avenge his lover.

both kinds have their merits. the first is more emotionally impactful, letting the audience cling to hope until the very end, when it's snatched away all at once leaving nothing but a void. the second is more thematically resonant, tracking an inherent fatal flaw in its hero to a natural and understandable conclusion, making it abundantly clear why everything has to happen the way it does.

Can I assume your friends call you Doc Ock? — My friends actually call me V. My enemies call me Doc Ock.

fuck, u so right

Dang it guys

we only ever talked about HALF of why these scenes were a big deal, like I just realized this today and my heart is going insane.

It’s not just that Crowley’s pissed at Gabriel for treating who he thinks as Aziraphale this way, the last thing he says to the people about to kill him is a benign and peaceful wish to see them again.

And like- this is Crowley trying to replicate Aziraphale to a T. So he legitimately just sees him as this endless well of compassion, someone who is always warm and accepting. It’s not just their friendship throughout the years, he remembers Aziraphale’s kindness on the Eastern Gate. When the angel had absolutely no reason to trust this random demon who just slithered up next to him. Crowley knows that he’s loved. Maybe not like that quite yet (although he’d be very wrong), but he knows that around his friend he’s always welcome and safe.

And Aziraphale?

Well he just thinks Crowley’s the coolest fucker alive, like he is laying it in THICK and enjoying every second. Listen to that charisma, look at that smirk. These are traits that are typically only appreciated in the context of how good it makes Crowley at tempting, a job he hates. But Aziraphale doesn’t see someone manipulative or regard this persona as signs of his “demonic nature”, he just sees Crowley. Someone charming, fun loving, and cute.

This is when we get to know precisely why they love each other, what exactly they see in the other.

OMG YES THIS IS ADORABLE

Please consider...Izuku has a HUGE crush on Shouto, but is too 🐔💩 to actually do anything about. So he just stares hopelessly at Shouto, day in, and day out.

Mirio, as Izuku's "Official" Big Brother, teases Izuku about his crush on Shouto relentlessly (but kindly) and pesters him to talk to Shouto.

Eri (Izuku's "Official" Little Sister) watches all this with some confusion before quietly walking over to Shouto and asking him if he likes Izuku in the same way that Izuku likes Shouto.

Izuku's soul promptly leaves his body while Mirio falls to the ground laughing.

Shouto looks up at Izuku with a small and soft smile and answers, "Yes."

Omg I am considering, this is hilarious XD

'I don't get what the big idea is! You like him, he obviously likes you, just talk to the man.' Mirio's easy smile is amazing sometimes, but right now, Izuku wants to take Eri's highlighter and rub it all over his stupid face.

'Not everyone can confess to their best friend like it's the easiest thing in the world!' He says instead, waving his hands dramatically as a blush decorates his cheeks. 'T-Todoroki-kun and I are nothing like you and Amajiki-senpai! Also, be quiet, he's literally sitting over there!'

'I'm sorry? I can't hear you over all the excuses.' Mirio cups his ear, still grinning. 'Look, just go up to Todoroki and tell him you love him and want to kiss him and be boyfriends. What's the worst that could happen?'

'He could hate me forever for ruining our friendship.' Izuku turns back to the colouring book and presses down a little too hard with his pencil. He begins reciting a list of reasons why confessing is a bad idea, until realisation suddenly hits him. He turns his head to the empty seat next to him. 'Wait. Where's Eri?'

Mirio just smiles brighter, while Izuku frantically scans the common room, only to find her sitting in Todoroki's lap. He takes a moment to appreciate just how adorable they look - Todoroki's hand is supporting her waist while Eri plays with his hair - until he registers that she's just mouthed "Deku".

Oh no...

He immediately sprints over, using every ounce of control not to summon One for All, but it's too late.

'Deku-san thinks you're really handsome and wants to kiss you and he told Lemillion-san that he loves you and wants to be your boyfriend.' She twirls her own hair with her thumb, before sheepishly looking up at Todoroki. 'Do you love Deku-san the same way he loves you?'

Izuku promptly trips over his own two feet and slams face-first onto the floor in front of them, content to stay there for all of eternity.

Well, this is the end of our friendshi-

'Yeah.' A quiet, albeit confident voice fills the silence and Izuku looks up to find dichromatic eyes boring into his own, warm and kind, while a slight flame flickers from his scarred cheek. 'I do feel the same, Eri.'

'T-Todoroki-kun?' Izuku all but squeaks when a soft smile stretches across that beautiful face. He's distantly aware of Mirio's howling laughter several metres away, but tries to ignore it. 'Y-You l-love me too? Really?'

Todoroki raises an eyebrow, smile vanishing.

'Of course, Midoriya. I'm not gonna lie to a child.'

He wants to laugh at the irony, he really does, as he lets Potter brand his arm and override the dark mark with a new one.
