anyone know that reddit post about a girl who’s gf washes her hair and it talks about non sexual intimacy
My heart..
This reminds me of this post;
Forgive me guys as I do not remember where the screenshot is from, but I have it here and I wanted to share with you.
I have had guy friends cry because I enthusiastically asked to do their hair in plaits. I have shave my head out of hair frustration a lot but I loved braiding my own hair. like, crown braid casually during a test instead of a ponytail when I needed my hair off my face type speed braiding. and I have a lot of guy friends with that long flowy Viking hair. gal friends love me doing their hair, paid me to do it for prom and shit, so I started asking my male friends to plait their hair like a viking. I stg, some have cried. some freeze like a internet explorer tab.
and this is a thing we just DID at sleepovers to each other as girls! I am used to this level of “let me get uncomfortably close and bond with you” monkey type grooming. it breaks my heart when I compliment a man or offer a sincere “that’s fucked bruh” bear hug and they hesitate or seem to look for a trick. y'all be touch starved and get shit when you try and seek it from anyone in a non sexual context, how is this not a set up for unhealthy thoughts about self worth?
Aziraphale, Walking
I know we talk a lot about Crowley's saunter, but may I present:
The careful way Aziraphale walks?
The way he looks so solid and strong?
Let's face it, Crowleys not really evil though is he?
FIRST GOOD OMENS SEASON 3 AZIRAPHALE IMAGE LEAKED!!!!!!
Some of my favourite Aziraphale screencaps:
FIRST GOOD OMENS SEASON 3 AZIRAPHALE IMAGE LEAKED!!!!!!
Something that I noticed during the conversation the Metatron has with Aziraphale.
He says de facto partnership. De facto partnership! Not just de facto, but adds partnership!
General definition of de facto partnership:
A couple who aren’t married but who live together as a domestic couple.
The Metatron isn’t just saying that he’s aware of the friendship Aziraphale and Crowley have formed, he’s full on implying that Heaven believes they are romantically linked. No wonder Aziraphale looks so pissed. He knows he’s being threatened in the highest degree.
I’m sure people have pointed that out before, but once again I’m over here getting my mind blown by things clicking into place.
Thanks for posting this. I noticed the threat, of course, and the knowledge and malice behind it, but I was thinking 10-20 years back, when "de facto partnership" was only a business dealing.
Now that "partner" can mean a romantic one, that does open up other possibilities I hadn't considered by my archaic usage! It may be purposefully ambiguous as well.
Something I've been wondering about for a while now. And I know it'll most likely never get explained, but I'm curious anyway.
Crowley often appears distracted, like he's lost in thought or eavesdropping on something no one else can hear. It happens in both seasons: when Aziraphale talks about the paintball guns (srsly, rewatch the scene and observe Crowley: he clearly tunes in with a slight delay), when the angel asks for a volunteer for the bullet catch, when he touches Crowley's arm after Gabriel and Beelzebub reveal their relationship.
I'm convinced that this is a deliberate acting choice, that David was instructed by Neil to perform this way. But I can't figure out why. Is he eavesdropping a "demon radio"? Is he constantly scanning the surroundings for demonic presence (doubtful, Shax took him by surprise, as did the demons during the body swap)? Does his mind go blank for Fall-related reasons? Is he gazing across timelines or parallel dimensions??
Ideas?
Can't leave a comment for some reason but I'll reblog hoping you'll read it :)
@vidavalor has some wonderful metas on Crowley and PTSD.
Aziraphale & Shostakovich
The moment in the record shop when Aziraphale said he was picking up a Shostakovich record I had So Many Thoughts.
The symphony he's listening to is Symphony No.5 in D Minor, Op. 47, composed in 1937 and premiered in Leningrad to a thirty+ minute long standing ovation. Prior to this piece, Dimitri S. spent many nights sleeping in the hallway outside of his apartment so that his family wouldn't see if the government police in charge of enforcing Stalin's brutal rule came for him in the middle of the night. His last pieces had been received harshly by critics and called unpatriotic, which was just about the worst thing a composer living during The Great Terror (1936-1938) could do. Those who were not loyal to the regime and explicitly portrayed it in their art were branded as traitors and sent to gulags or were straight up executed.
The San Francisco Symphony describes the 5th symphony as "the story of a fall from grace and redemption.". Shostakovitch has gone from being a golden example to being eyed as a traitor almost overnight, the 5th Symphony becoming his redemption back into good graces.
So basically Dimitri S. was a man with contrasting ideologies to the powers that be, so to say, who was living under the threat of death, torture, or excommunication from his homeland. Haha, so weird that Aziraphale would want to listen to his music specifically.
(If you've never listened to Symphony No. 5, I highly encourage you to go listen!)
To set the scene-
Cute idea about the Angel record, but here's the screencap :
(from halemerry)
The rest is spot-on. What I think it emphasizes is that when Aziraphale says "Heaven is good!" in the present day he is performing for oppressive overlords. He may no longer be "officially" working for Heaven, but he is still under surveillance, he knows he & Crowley are not free or safe. He doesn't believe in the goodness of Heaven any more than a thoughtful Soviet citizen believed in the truthfulness of Pravda, but he know better than to *say* so.
Thanks! (I will choose to think that Aziraphale has a copy of the Angel Records version stashed away somewhere anyway haha!)
That closeup of the record goes by in a blink, clearly it was late at night- below is the record I was looking at, so it's possible he got multiple recordings of the same symphony or the close up of the record is of the next one down in his stack of Shostakovitch.
But it being the Bernstein recording is even more delicious!
Because Leonard Bernstein was also a composer and conductor who was under threat from the government, on multiple fronts.
(If you are unfamiliar with Bernstein's work, to sum it up very very shortly; He is mostly known for his work with the New York Philharmonic, with whom he did many recordings. He also had a long running tv show that introduced classical music to young people called Young People's Concerts, where children in NYC were invited to Carnegie Hall and the orchestra would play for them while Bernstein explained what was happening with the music and why it was written the way it was. He's also a much beloved composer behind shows like West Side Story, On The Town, Candide, and works like his Chichester Psalms and MASS. He remains one of the biggest names in United States classical music to this day. Highly highly recommend looking into his life, music, and writings!)
He and his wife, Felicia, were supporters of groups like The Black Panthers and their public and private support of various progressive groups got them put on a FBI watchlist. (Leonard's report was over 800 pages long when it was released. I got to see a copy at the display in the 2018 Bernstein: The Power of Music and it's insane.)
Bernstein was also gay and Jewish in times where those were both Very Unpopular things to be in America. (Except of course in the musical theater realm of NYC, "To be a success as a Broadway composer, you must be Jewish or gay. I'm both.") He was one of the first major names to start publicly raising funds and awareness for AIDS/HIV research, starting in 1986 with a celebrity fundraising concert. Many of his works depict queer themes that reflect the time periods they were written in as well.
AND he knew Dimitri Shostakovitch. (Here's them shaking hands after a concert in Moscow, 1959)
(Sidenote: Shosty saw and enjoyed ALW's Jesus Christ Superstar, which I find delightful lmao.)
It's a 2-for-1 special!
From NPR:
There are more than 50 recordings of the Symphony No. 5, but Leonard Bernstein's performance with the New York Philharmonic stands out for its emotion and timeliness. It was made right after Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic returned from touring the Soviet Bloc in the summer of 1959. They spent 20 days in the Soviet Union and performed Symphony No. 5 in the presence of Shostakovich himself. This recording captures the excitement of that meeting.
and from Julliard, on the concert for Bernstein's 100th birthday:
The Juilliard Orchestra’s Carnegie Hall program makes the connection between Bernstein and Shostakovich explicit, pairing Bernstein’s still unjustly neglected Songfest (1977) with Shostakovich’s best-known symphony, the Fifth, a specialty of Bernstein’s. In 1966, Bernstein said of Shostakovich, “Out of this shy man, hidden behind his eyeglasses, has come some of the most powerful, brash, un-shy music ever written,” adding, “Shostakovich has a lot to say, musically, and very often what he says is noble, original, and deeply moving.” No matter to Bernstein that it was the middle of the Cold War. The occasion was one of Bernstein’s Young People’s Concerts, his enormously successful TV series; the program was “A Birthday Tribute to Shostakovich”—the Soviet composer turned 60 that year. On the New York Philharmonic’s historic tour to the Soviet Union in 1959, Bernstein conducted Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony—which would become one of his signature interpretations—in the presence of the composer, who made it known that he was “very taken by the performance.” Bernstein—whose parents were Jewish immigrants from the former Russian Empire—was a protégé of another Russian émigré, Serge Koussevitzky, who profoundly influenced his sense of musical values, especially as they related to the European tradition. Bernstein was one of Koussevitzky’s inaugural conducting fellows at the new Boston Symphony Orchestra’s new summer headquarters in the Berkshires, and when Koussevitzky led the BSO in Shostakovich’s “Leningrad” Symphony at the newly established Tanglewood Festival, Bernstein played the bass drum. Bernstein and Shostakovich were two composers who, albeit in very different contexts, faced considerable critical resistance from many of their own self-described “progressive” colleagues for writing “accessible” music instead of following the avant-garde drumbeat. So it’s altogether fitting to celebrate Bernstein’s birthday in part with the music of his fellow titan.
In regards to the 4th movement of Symph. 5, in the Bernstein recording he takes the allegro non troppo nearly double the listed speed, which is what Aziraphale is listening to in the scene. Wherein things start happening very fast.
I like the idea that Crowley has always been sensitive about this. But his angel loves him in all forms <3 Please support me on ko-fi for more stuff, twitter, and tips here
Jon Pountey uploaded a beautiful photograph to his Instagram of our earth angel, Michael Sheen, to promote the relaunch of the new Welsh National Theatre.
He may not have the blonde hair yet, but this photo is sheer heaven 🥹☁️✨

Gabriel w/The Final 15 clue back in 2.01
Just one of the main ways, eh? 😉
Gabriel doesn't have his memory in 2.01 but he knows on a fundamental level that looks can be deceiving and a being's identity is more than their face. He learned that when the love of his life got a new face and he accepted it easily because a person is more than their appearance. What someone looks like is just one of the ways to determine who they are and people might not be who you think.
Aziraphale let Gabriel into the bookshop because, fundamentally, he recognized in the Gabriel-looking being who showed up at the door the possibility that Jim was a side of Gabriel that Aziraphale didn't know as well but had glimpsed before a little in the past enough to believe existed. In this way, Aziraphale really did recognize Gabriel.
But Aziraphale and the angels did not recognize the last visitor to the bookshop in 2.06 and the being who identified him-- Crowley-- is subject to The Devil's deception. There is still no proof at all that Aziraphale actually got into the elevator with The Metatron because we can't prove that being actually was The Metatron. Everyone assuming that he is because of his face might be overlooking the clue in Gabriel's dialogue back at the start of the season.
Something something bees and murder hornets.
Ohhh thats a fun theory!
obsessed with the fact that Crowley is the one who's drunk on poison and unsteady on his feet here yet Aziraphale is the one swinging towards him like a horny pendulum
