I Have A Mega Exam In 2 Days And Here I Am. Thinking To Write Fanfiction And Original Satire.

That makes me feel a bit better about what I write, because its not *good writing* in any way. Its on-the-nose sometimes, a bit simplistic, too feel-y, and filled with dramatized character emotions. But people tell me, they felt so much while reading it, they cried, or laughed too hard, almost teared up, felt personally seen, smiled, blushed, were annoyed- they FELT. And for me, that is a reason enough to continue writing. It might not be perfect, good or even professional at all, but as long as it touched someone, I have a reason to improve. To continue. To write until it DOES become good, subtle and clever. Even if it takes forever. It brings joy to a couple of others. It brings me JOY. And that is good enough for now, I think.

your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.

Kisses and all are cool, but small moments like these <3

finished reading PnP and now i officially hate all the literary references that modern romances (like The Fine Print) make to PnP. Like no. Darcy was not a cold-hearted, empathy-devoid asshole like your male lead, maam. He was a little awkward, obstinate, prideful and *successfully* reflects that by HIMSELF and works on himself, not just to get the girl, but because thats what good men do.

Seriously, the only modern PnP reference i like anymore is probably like, good omens or something.

idk man, the fact that skip and loafer cares to differentiate between attraction to someone because you like them as person, attraction as friend and attraction as lover feels pretty neat ngl. tell me another manga which does that?? you cant.

The amount of joy I get from hearing this cuz my fav chappell roan song is casual too omg 😭😭

It's the way Aziraphale is a terrible liar and magician but he always effortlessly pulls through whenever it is to protect Crowley.

Exhibit A:

In season 1, when Gabriel and Sandalphon drop by for a surprise visit, and they can tell something smells evil, Aziraphale very smoothly lies which is one of the only times he isn't an anxious mess in front of the Archangels.

Exhibit B:

The picture swapping in season 2 which is emphasised even further later when Aziraphale tries to recreate the magic trick once they're back (safe) in the bookshop and just fails lol

There's no conclusion to this I just thought it was neat and I needed to ramble a bit

Edit: OK there is a conclusion, actually (my brain just needed to process lol). I think it really reinforces how at his core, Aziraphale is a protector. A guardian, if you will. It comes naturally to him. We see it with the way he decides to help Gabriel in s2 with no hesitation, with how he immediately puts the humans' safety first when the demons attack the bookshop. We're often so focused on Crowley's protective side towards our angel, it's easy to miss the maybe more subtle ways Aziraphale protects him right back.

And I think it could play quite a part in his decision to go back to Heaven. Perhaps it's wishful thinking but I don't think he'll fumble his role as Supreme Archangel, if we are to believe he made that decision partly to protect Crowley, then I 100% believe he'll pull through. Because he gets it right when it matters, after all.

instead of studying, I made a terribly compressed chart of the secret history characters and their dynamics by the end of the book: [TSH SPOILERS!!!!]
