Excelsior!

Twenty-something, she/her, increasingly ace, from Minnesota but chilling near LA these days. I post a little bit of everything, including Good Omens, Doctor Who, and D&D stuff. I write fanfics (including the Eden!verse series) under the same name at AO3. "I am and always will by the optimist, the hoper of far-flung hopes, and the dreamer of improbable dreams." -Eleventh Doctor

Ok, now that we’ve had a week to think about it, here’s another, more S1-ish fix it (as the last one was desperate and had issues…but let’s be honest, so did the “season”.)

[reallyreallyreallytrying]

"bosch" doesn't sound like the name of a guy who'd make paintings like that. but when you add "hieronymus" to the mix it starts to make sense

[nikki-rook]

Do you have a pen?

“It’s photoshopped” honestly in the age of AI that has a homey sort of nostalgia to it. Remember when people used to put effort into faking things?

I cannot overstate how much time I spend playing The Sorting Game. I spent a couple days on the original Thomas Coltrane version and gave myself a migraine because using my laptop for that many hours is not exactly accessible to me, but 10x10 grids on my phone are extremely accessible and it has been my Hyperfixation for the past several weeks. To the point where I’m regularly finishing with 0 mistakes and no googling because I’ve just learned what the categories are and what goes in them.

I was so excited to see new categories added today!

So thank you for giving a mostly-bedbound disabled Autistic a way to pass the interminable hours and even learn some things!

Oh, wow! I'm glad you're getting so much out of it! 💕

Many of the new categories came courtesy of bird-jay! I've had a couple of other people also reach out about contributing, so hopefully there will be additional new categories in the future. 😊

I feel so many feelings about Rocky during the first contact. He wants to connect SO BADLY. Do Eridians have horror stories about scary aliens? If they do, Rocky doesn't care. He wants this alien to be friendly. He does everything he can to accommodate. Here, a little gift I'm sending your way at the speed you're comfortable with. Please be there. Here, the next gift is going right into your airlock so that it's easier for you to catch. Please don't fly away. You made a strange gesture with your limb, I'll make my robot make that gesture back. Please belive that I'm friendly. Here's a tunnel to connect us, I'll make sure you can breathe in it. Please come meet me. I'll let you choose the material for the wall separating us; I'll rebuild the whole wall if it makes you more comfortable, no trouble, just please let's talk. You're all alone on your ship, I can hear it, please come sleep here where I can watch you, it's unsafe for you to be alone. I'm alone and scared, it's been 46 years since I felt safe while sleeping, please please please watch me sleep too. I'm very vulnerable when I sleep and I trust that you won't use it against me. I want to visit your ship, am allowed, question? I'm moving in with you. Let's save the stars.

thinking again about how Eden!verse fundamentally changed how i view so much of theology as a catholic especially free will

every theology textbook ive ever read: free will means people can do anything and they make their own choices but also God knows what theyre gonna do beforehand and itll never change dont even worry about it

that one fanfic that was the length of les mis 3 times over: here is a complex exploration of what free will means and how though actions have been observed they can still be chosen freely and here is a deep dive into how though God has dictated all that has happened and all that will be the universe still relies on humans being inherently human and flawed and God loving us anyway

like why is this fanfic of bible fanfic that's the length of 3 novels changing how i view my actual literal religion. ill never stop being affected by this

Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way

[cliopadra]

Please excuse the text and let me be cringe, that ending fucked me up so bad I’ll be recovering longer than from OFMD Izzy’s death

Plus a little extra:

[beardedmrbean]

this sounds like a party to me

Jesus should have appeared when Aziraphale summoned God with the New Book of Life.

He's God, isn't he? Part of the "triune godhead." Then we could have gotten a completely different version of the scene in the bookshop, one where Jesus defends the world he knows and the people he's met and the things he learned (in his short time back on Earth) about love and generosity and helping people become better people. 

Maybe Aziraphale and Crowley ask him to create a world without angels and demons. Maybe he says, but aren't they people too? Can't they learn about love, and generosity, and helping people become better people? Of course they can. Look at the two of you.

And we could have gotten a beautiful mirror to the end of Season 1, where Christ does the same exact thing as the Antichrist, where he doesn't destroy the world but puts it back just the way it was. Even slightly better. 

Because angels and demons should have a chance, too.

hi we are on the post apocalypse bus together can we hold hands

[improbabledreams900]

Hello. I've been really enjoying your expanded version of that category matching game. I was wondering if you were interested in sourcing more categories? I started making new lists in a spreadsheet and I thought you might want to incorporate some of them, assuming making additions is relatively easy. (I don't THINK any of them are duplicates of what you've already made)

Sure, send me a DM. So long as they seem like common knowledge or are reasonably guessable, and don't have too much overlap with existing categories, I'm happy to add them.

Old man yaoi actually meant so much to me. They get to live lives as people. They get to grow old and they get to do it together and honestly that is all I ever wanted for them.
