I had another Good Omens fanfiction dream this morning.

Basically, Crowley was due to give birth. You might ask, Pestilence, what's with you and Crowley being pregnant?.. The answer is, I don't know, and neither does my therapist.

So, Crowley's due to give birth, he's scared and in pain. Beelzebub shows up, along with a few other demons (I guess I'll look through the Key of Solomon, I remember a few have to do with healing). She told him they'll support him. I have a feeling, the dream adhered to my idea that Crowley and Beelzebub are siblings (in spite Beelzebub looking like she does in S2, so Indian).

Crowley had to change to his snake form, because while his human form was male (so he couldn't give birth without surgery, which was too dangerous), his snake form was female. The demons put him in a whelping box (genius idea). Crowley gave birth to either 4 or 6 baby snakes (apparently, they're called snakelets). It was a live birth, which, fun fact, some snakes do give (i think boa constrictors, and snake Crowley kind of looks like one, aside from the colouring). The baby snakes then morphed to human form. I don't think Crowley nearly died, but he lost a lot of blood, and got extremely exhausted. No, it probably wasn't realistic to how snakes actually give birth.

(They were far larger, though)

Oh, and at some point, Aziraphale found out, but someone (possibly Beelzebub) forbade him from coming, because an angel's presence would distress the babies, and they wouldn't take human form. They could also die.

No, I don't think Aziraphale was the "father". The babies were demons, while, according to my headcanons, when an angel procreates with a demon, the baby's an angel, as it's the original form (though, they do retain some demonic features). Maybe, Crowley mated with an actual snake, or something... It would be very Greek and Norse god of him, but what the Heaven, dude... I guess, Beelzebub could act as the litter's she-father, once the two had reconciled. Which, is a word I use for maternal figures who, traditionally, would be considered more paternal. You know, kind of emotionally detached, more provider than carer, often absent, that sort of deal.

This is incoherent, but I only remember fragments. I guess, I will put it down in my notes for the future. I already did. (I'm kind of tempted to write the birth scene, I like writing birth scenes, they're brutal).

Don't you just have a love/hate relationship with when you are already swamped with WIPs, but the Fanfiction Gods send you another vision?..

Also, don't you just hate it when you give birth to a litter of snakelets, with the help of your coworkers, and your estranged sister.

What the Hell do you even name that many damn whelps...

[freakflaggames]

roguelike (through a crusty, diesely, industrial Hell?) in which you are only able to get magical powers by sacrificing parts of your body. the more important, the more it hurts you, the more rare the magic is. you can purchase biopunk bodymods a la cruelty squad to replace your missing parts at a shop.

Lol my gal and I sometime talk about how sister Yurie might take part in training girl when they come of age, and it more often than not it turn into “training“ ;)

The way these two images have such a chokehold on me... I love the similarities between these two pairings.

Eren/Zeke are both irredeemable assholes while Yuusaku (in canon) is an angel who can do no wrong. (Yuusaku's well-mannered personality and kindness almost makes up for Ogata's shitty behaviour/personality.)

Despite this, both are half-brothers brought up in different households/realities, with an irresponsible, abusive father haunting their past and present. One brother jealous of the other for their 'royal and pure' birthright, the other brother wishing they could shed the burden that comes with it. Two halves of a whole. Both seeking fatherly approval in the worst possible way.

I want to highlight the similarities between Yuusaku and Zeke's upbringing:

Yuusaku had his childhood & autonomy taken away by the hands of his father (and the military) to be forcibly turned into a symbol of war. This is all too similar to the dehumanization Zeke Jeager experienced within the confines of his home and Marley.

Both place their brothers high up on a pedestal, secretly (selfishly) wishing that they can use their respective brothers as an escape from their grim realities and unfairly heavy expectations set upon by people around them. They would go the extra thousand miles for their brothers.

This is not to imply that Zeke's actions are justified due to his backstory, or that Zeke and Yuusaku are equal in terms of their morality. Their themes and dynamics with their brothers are just so interesting. It makes for good gothic literature...

What YuuO-esque lyrics...

MANY thoughts about Xiahou Dun's historical records in Sanguozhi, Luo Guanzhong's Sanguo yanyi counterpart and how the dynasty warriors games portray his character.

According to the Sanguozhi officer biographies, written & compiled by the scholar Chen Shou, Dun was the man of the people. A talented governor & warrior, albeit lacking in skills needed for a military general. He was quite charismatic and well liked by citizens.

There were records stating that he frequently helped the poor in the fields whenever droughts or locust infestations occured. He didn't like to hoard wealth; he instead shared it to the people. After losing to Liu Bei, he mostly worked as a military advisor and a governor.

Despite not having many military exploits to his name, he contributed greatly behind the scenes — arguably much we don't know of, because they're not recorded.

If we were to truly believe Chen Shou's records, Xiahou Dun was a charismatic and generous man; far from the edgy, broody persona we saw in dynasty warriors 4 through 8.

Dun's character was mellowed out significantly in Dynasty Warriors Origins, probably a more accurate reflection of his Sanguozhi counterpart. He treats you to food during Bond Events and he's quite amicable to Ziluan :)
