imagine… you’re in an antique bookshop, full of soft golden light with rain pattering on the roof. it’s dim outside, and you don’t want to walk in the rain, but you’re not in a hurry, and you know it will end soon. maybe you buy a hot drink and cradle it in your palms while you browse. maybe you stand and watch the rain darken the pavement. maybe your heart doesn’t hurt, and everything feels okay

If you’ve already answered this before, I apologize for asking again.

I may be dense when thinking about this, but there are things that are said by Aziraphale and other angels about Crowley (other demons too, but Crowley has my whole heart) that imply they were never angels. I also feel like Aziraphale says things sometimes that insinuate Crowley has always been on the “other side” even though, in S2, we see them both pre-fall as angels.

Maybe I’m missing something or reading into it too much. It confuses my brain and hurts my heart, though.

The demons were angels once. That was the "glorious revolution" that Dagon referred to when exhorting the troops in Season 1 episode 6. These days they are demons, and they've been demons for a very long time. I'm not sure what the insinuations are you are thinking of that imply they weren't angels. Aziraphale is quite clear that Crowley was an angel -- Season 1's line of Aziraphale's "You were an angel once" is pretty clear on that. As is the description of Crowley in the book and his description of himself in the show as being an angel who didn't fall but "sauntered vaguely downwards".

And in fact the book begins with:

DRAMATIS PERSONAE

SUPERNATURAL BEINGS

God (God)

Metatron (The Voice of God)

Aziraphale (An angel, and part-time rare-book dealer)

Satan (A Fallen Angel; the Adversary)

Beelzebub (A Likewise Fallen Angel and Prince of Hell)

Hastur (A Fallen Angel and Duke of Hell)

Ligur (Likewise a Fallen Angel and Duke of Hell)

Crowley (An Angel who did not so much Fall as Saunter Vaguely Downwards)

Hey! So idk if you saw my req and I’m gonna be real idk if u saw it but ignored it (cuz some bloggers do..) but anyways

I asked whether you can share tips on ways you improved your smut writing and how to go about it—making it sound natural despite not have experience

Please ur advice would mean a lot as I’m trying to write more smut

i didn’t ignore you tbh i’ve done an ask like this before and hoped you would refer to that but i’ll do it here again!

here are a few different tips that help me when i write smut:

let the emotion lead. the physical stuff lands better when the reader feels why theyre touching, why it matters, the mix of want and fear or trust or hunger. anchor every kiss and gasp to what theyre feeling inside.

keep the power dynamic clear and shifting. who wants it more right now? who’s teasing, who’s breaking first? small flips in control make the scene feel alive and charged instead of flat.

use rhythm too! short punchy sentences when things get frantic. longer flowing ones when theyre sinking into it. the pace of your words can mimic the pace of their bodies.

trust your own heat. if a line makes you blush or squirm while writing, keep it. that genuine spark travels straight to the reader.

if you already carry that same pull in your work, lean into what feels electric to you and let the characters take the wheel.

i’m not the best at it but yes don’t just make it sound like “they had sex omg” instead make it sensual and meaningful for the actual readers

how do you feel about re9

Hi there! I'm new and wanted to know if I could get a quick recap of what's happening

Bunny: Okay. This maybe long but here is the summary of the major plot points.

Abel and Alastor have been dating for a little over two months and are co-hosts of a radio show together. About a month ago, Abel discovered Alastor’s old chest injury and attempted to heal it using his angelic abilities—specifically through an intimate, magical act involving his tongue. This was the most physically intimate either of them had ever been, complicated by the fact that Alastor is ace and Abel is an inexperienced, anxious virgin.

Because Abel has been secretly sneaking into Hell to be with Alastor, Sera eventually forbids him from returning to Heaven. As a result, Abel takes up residence at the hotel.

Not long after, Abel begins experiencing worsening symptoms—nosebleeds, migraines, and general weakness. At first, these are believed to be the result of unresolved PTSD stemming from his murder at the hands of his brother, Cain. However, the symptoms are also signs that Abel’s body is slowly becoming more demonic. During a medical examination, Belphegor discovers the true cause: Abel is magically pregnant, the result of ingesting traces of Alastor’s magically infused blood during the healing incident.

The situation is especially fragile. The pregnancy has only just been discovered, and tensions are high when Alastor briefly assumes Abel has been unfaithful. In that moment, Alastor’s murderous demeanor unintentionally triggers Abel’s PTSD, reminding him of his brother and sending him into a panic.

All of this unfolds against the backdrop of their ongoing radio segment, Seven Days of Sinsmas, in which Abel and Alastor interview each of the Seven Deadly Sins to better understand what their sins represent and how they are honored or celebrated.

I put on my hazmat suit and ventured back into the RoP subreddit. And this commenter clumsily tried to describe Robert Aramayo’s “funny face” and I helped her out.

In French, he’s referred to as “jolie-laide”. It loosely translates to “pretty-ugly”, a term of endearment to describe someone who is unconventionally attractive.

me when the whole world falls apart and its all my fault

sorry in advance i just eated too much and now theres like cracks and holes iin the world it probably needs some time to have actual effects but like. sorry. didnt mean to do that.

anyway i think that schools should make it mandatory to learn how to do a backflip before yo go to them so that only people who are like actually committed and wanna learn can get in. also we should reform education process so that schools like actually teach people and if you dont wanna go to school then you can go to the place that churns out factory workers and drains the creativity and breaks the spirit of children in order to create a working class thats willing to sell their time labor value to the bourgeoisie at a loss. i think that would be cool. not really that sounds like segregation and like it has its whole slew of problems so probably we should have a global communist revolution instead. or just make. like. a bunch of small communes. so then you don't have the problem of large scale communism where there needs to be a power enforcer person making people work. that just makes a new bourgeoisie. small scale communism allows people to share the power equally and collectively enforce the social contract. not doing enough work and taking advantage of people and pissing everyone off? everyone kicks you out. no higher power doing it. no risk of death (unless it's a chill commune and they have a mustard gas room so the chemist can do cool unethical shit (thats a joke please don't make mustard gas(or kill people i guess too. thats like important dsont be doing that.))).

uhhh @mukimokai does this help?

Not sure how to clean your crotch?

Treat it like your face!

You don't put soap inside your eyes, you only sometimes use water or facewash that goes on your eyelids SO you can wash all the skin 'down there' to get clean but don't go putting soap or other things into the holes in your body.
