Inconsequential But Important™ Things About Book Crowley And Aziraphale That Didn’t Make It Into

“That’s not love” she tells me. “You don’t have to beg for someone to stay. You don’t have to beg for someone to live with you. You don’t beg for them to commit to you and you don’t have to beg for a title. When it’s love, you don’t even think about those things. They happen naturally. This boy is the epitome of everything that love is not. And what a heartbreaking yet wonderful experience to have at a young age, for it opens up more room for the right sort of love to appear”

— my mothers pep talks (ms, 2019)

what about some keener where they’ve been dating for a while and harley discovers peter has major feminization+praise+degradation+choking kinks so he uses it to like...his full advantage?? btw you are so great like 💙💙 bih you great... (how could you even have a degradation AND praise kink tho lol)

(TW: degradation, feminization, minor choking, minor d/s elements)

I love this and I love you and you’re fucking great 💖 (and also, thank you for being so patient as my disaster ass works slowly through my inbox.) I am here to tell you that you can definitely have both a degradation and praise kink, and it’s hecking awesome ;) The two totally amplify one another. Imagine: Just being utterly put down and degraded. Feeling humiliated, verging on the brink of tears, and so, so on edge. It’s borderline too much. And then, Daddy turns it right the fuck around – runs a soft hand through your hair and strokes your cheek, and murmurs, ‘good job, sweetheart.’ BOOM. REST IN PIECES.

But allow me to illustrate further:

It’s subtle in the beginning, but Harley’s smart, if anything. Peter can only blush so many times at the occasional light-hearted teasing – at being called ‘Princess’ and ‘girly’ and all the other gently mocking names Harley can’t help but occasionally drop. Harley notices how, when he treats Peter a certain way, the boy gets just that much more desperate, that much whinier and glazed in the eyes, that much more frantic in his movements as he tries to fuck down on Harley’s cock. He notices how Peter’s pulse quickens, how he cums harder when Harley has his hands close to Peter’s throat.

And, Harley notes how Peter lights up when he’s gifted with kind words. Poor boy loves both extremes.

(Luckily, Harley knows just what to do with that knowledge.)

It isn't worth it if he really doesn't like who you are.

reblog for something very lgbt to happen to you on nov 5th

YAAAS JIN GET THAT PRAISE!

RANDOM ARIDANTE HEADCANONS

Dante is 100% the bottom in their relationship. I think that’s even implied in the second book

If they end up adopting kids at some point, annual summer road trips are a given

During college, Dante tries to break up with Ari multiple times, not because he doesn’t love Ari, but because he misses him too much. But every time Dante tries to break up with him, Ari just says no, absolutely not, and that’s the end of it

Ari lowkey loves Sophocles just as much, if not more than Dante does, but he would die before admitting it.

In their older years, Ari just looks back at himself literally saving Dante from being killed and is like, “there was no hetero explanation for that, why tf did it take my parents literally calling a family meeting for me to realize”. It’s the kind of thing that he thinks about at night every once and a while and it makes him feel absolutely ridiculous

Dante gets jealous easily, but when he gets jealous, Ari just showers him with love and kisses and assures him that he adores him.

When they hold hands in public, if someone looks at them weird, Dante gets self conscious and tries to pull away, but Ari doesn’t let him. He just gives the person a death glare bc he knows he could kick their ass to the Canada border if they messed with him and Dante.

On what occasions does Phoenix Wright get paid?

PHOENIX WRIGHT: ACE ATTORNEY

Case 1-1 Defendant: Larry Butz Does Phoenix get paid? No way in hell.

Case 1-2 Defendant: Maya Fey Does Phoenix get paid? I doubt it ever even occurred to him to bill her, honestly.

Case 1-3 Defendant: Will Powers Does Phoenix get paid? Yes! I doubt Will makes a lot of money, but he has a steady job, and the studio might or might not have covered some of it. Some kind of compensation occurred.

Case 1-4 Defendant: Miles Edgeworth Does Phoenix get paid? I feel like Miles tried to pay him and Phoenix refused him point blank, and they went back and forth on this for entirely too long until Maya, wanting burger money and also to keep the damn lights on, took it upon herself to deposit the check behind Phoenix’s back and leave for Kurain Village before he discovered it. This is probably what kept him fed through all of game two.

Case 1-5/DLC Defendant: Lana Skye Does Phoenix get paid? Definitely! Lana makes decent money, she knows what the rates for a good defense attorney should be, and she would absolutely take that debt seriously. Congratulations, Phoenix, burgers for you and fancy plant food for Charley.

thinking about alex losing his mind over being stuck inside the white house and having nothing but his phone to destroy, then going to argue with luna because he can’t afford to let anyone see himself burn, so he chose the closest thing to himself. luna was supposed to be alex in twenty years, so of course he went to antagonize him- he represented everything alex was scared of becoming in that moment.

Signs that you're in love with the prince of England:

[This has been sitting in the notes app on my phone for over a year bc I kept forgetting to format and post it]

Reminiscent of the Signs that you’re in love your roommate post that I made a few years ago

On Page 328: you feel forever about him. and you’ve known it all along

On Page 344: you love him on purpose

I think the reason why advice around "good writing" and "bad writing" doesn't really resonate for me is the fact that writing is contextual.

Any item on a list of "writing mistakes" can be used as an effective tool given the right context. Just like following every "good writing rule" at the same time can make the end result seem forced or overworked.

Yes, you need to know the basics of grammar and punctuation etc. But once you know the rules, breaking them can create a really powerful voice.

Break the rules. Experiment. Find the "wrong" ways that work for you. That's one way you can start to find your own personal writing style.
