Nervous...

Thrill

OK, I just watched the “Tenzin and siblings quarrel over Aang being a shit dad” episode and that story-line made no sense whatsoever.

Like even if Aang paid special attention to his airbender kid over the others to re-establish his tribe - what is his excuse for not taking the entire family to frigging Ember Island? The quintessential family vacation place? Presumably invited by his buddy, Zuko, you know the guy who was a total train-wreck until he managed to overcome parental rejection for not being the firstborn his father wanted? He wouldn’t call Aang out on it?

And Katara, would be like, sure honey, I’m just going to stay and freeze my butt off here and take care of two grumpy, devastated kids, while you go and have fun in the sun and beach and palm trees with YOUR friend the Firelord - oh, no wait, he is MY friend too.

Also, just because Bumi and Kya are not airbenders themselves, being Aang’s kids, wouldn’t there have been a chance that they could pass those genes to their own children, if they had any (I mean Izumi is not a confirmed bender, but her son is)? Why would Aang exclude them from the entire airbender culture and put effort into educating the air acolytes? Isn’t it still their heritage?

(HC: Also, if this was really the situation, especially between Aang and Bumi II, I’d totally see Zuko stepping in and getting Bumi the hell out of there, giving him a role in the United Forces so he can learn his own value).

Aargh, so far LoK was just frustrating and underwhelming, but this storyline is a straight-down character assassination.

Uriel: Don’t think your boyfriend in the dark glasses will get you special treatment

Aziraphale, to himself: He IS my boyfriend, isn’t he!?

i love that this happens in front of the other angels as well. we’ve SEEN how nervous aziraphale gets around them. he is visibly terrified every second because he cannot contain an emotion to save his life, and he continues to be afraid immediately before and after this moment. but when crowley is referred to as his boyfriend — even though the context is to say that he’s in trouble for it — that fear is abated just briefly and replaced with an effervescent joy. he loves crowley so much that even as he is literally staring down his worst nightmare, the thought of their relationship being visibly intimate draws a genuine smile out of him. because it is. because he loves crowley more than he fears heaven, even if he hasn’t realized it yet.

I used to think that was ONLY a fear-smile. I still think it’s primarily a nervous grin. But you all are right, there is something else to it, and there is context for that something else.

Although I will always entertain the idea that the Bastille Incident was on purpose, or at least partially on purpose - Michael Sheen’s acting convinced me about that! - think about what it means even if the whole thing was completely an accident on Aziraphale’s part.

It would mean Aziraphale was about to put himself in a horrendously inconvenient situation by getting his corporation beheaded on Earth because he was too afraid of Heaven to start doing “frivolous miracles” to save himself. We know he doesn’t like being in Heaven and he doesn’t like their paperwork.

But the instant Crowley suggests he ought to change before they go out to lunch together, implying that he won’t accept the lunch invitation unless Aziraphale is wearing something a little less beheadable, poof! Committing the very definition of a frivolous miracle! Heaven who???

You could say this is evidence that there was never any reprimand from Heaven for frivolous miracles in the first place, or that Aziraphale was never actually that afraid of the reprimand, but this is probably not true. In the deleted bookshop opening scene which takes place 7 years later, Aziraphale first assumes that Gabriel and Sandalphon are there to punish him and starts rattling off an excuse about something that happened in Paris, starting with “it wasn’t my miracle.” Gabriel dismisses him, but he’s still nervous the whole time. Odds are that the “not my miracle” was in fact the outfit change, and Aziraphale has been thinking this whole time that it would catch up with him eventually.

Conclusion: Exactly the same as @mochacoffee. Aziraphale is terrified of Heaven, has been shaped by this terror. But the thought of Crowley can transport him, even if only for a few moments at a time, to a better state of being, a state wherein the worst-case scenario is worth the danger. A state wherein he’s found the apple that’s worth the trouble he’s gotten into for eating it.

good pal natalie texted me this idea so i made it a reality

I know show!Geralt is supposed to be rougher and more guarded with his emotions than his game and book counterparts, but I refuse, refuuuuuuuse, to believe that means he wasn’t openly soft with Jaskier.

He agrees to accompany Jaskier to the banquet and be his bodyguard for free. Geralt is so concerned when Jaskier gets hurt by the djinn he tells Yennefer he will pay her whatever she wants to make sure Jaskier gets better. He feels guilty about his “pie-less filling” comment and would “like it not to be the last thing [Jaskier] remembers.” Jaskier’s first instinct when he comes across a monster during the dragon hunt is to run and yell Geralt’s name, and Geralt immediately takes out his swords.

Geralt cares. Geralt cares specifically about Jaskier, and no one’s gonna convince me that he wouldn’t show it multiple times over the years, beyond what we’ve seen. If only because Jaskier has enough self esteem and self respect not to stick around someone who would just tolerate him for the better part of two decades. No way, no how.

Those two are ride or die. They love the shit out of each other. They are SOFT. They don’t give a fuck who knows.

This is one of my favorite lines in the show. The delivery is so terribly British, so terribly gay, so terribly posh, SO angry, and 100% Aziraphale. This is an angel just about to call a manager and file a complaint. The inflection is perfect.
