i love the idea of crowley "sneakily" moving himself into aziraphale's life post-armageddon't one plant and questionable sculpture at a time. but i also love the idea of aziraphale, who hoards what he loves, coming up with "sneaky" excuses for crowley to come around and stay. in particular, situations that require anthony "acts of service" crowley's help around the shop, complete with the hinting pout from the paintball jacket scene and a satisfied little wiggle when crowley bemusedly gives in.

aziraphale, batting his eyelashes coquettishly: can you reach that book on the top shelf for me? you’re taller

crowley: i’m one inch taller at the absolute maximum, angel

aziraphale: please? 

crowley: [sighing but handing it to him] are you going to be needing lots of books on the top shelf or can i go home to water my plants?

aziraphale: well. i mean not immediately but you never know when the need will arise

crowley: that’s what i thought. read that book, angel, i’m going to go get all my plants and bring them here so i don’t have to leave again. i do hate the running back and forth after all

aziraphale: wise choice. just in case, you understand

crowley: obviously

aziraphale: i think you’d better give me a goodbye kiss as well. just in case, you know. we don’t see each other again

crowley: yes. just in case.

    @oldsouldier said ! “am i supposed to... kill things?” from wen ning to wei ying in an au where wei ying has to turn wen ning to save him rather than resurrecting him as a fierce corpse

    NOTHING SURVIVES THE BURIAL MOUNDS. NOT EVEN THEM.

    THIS PALE IMITATION of life and survival demands death in turn, as if the Burial Mounds themself demand sacrifice for allowing this continuation of existence. He doesn’t quite remember dying but he remembers what came after, even if the reason for it is unclear. The rending of corpse flesh between lengthened incisors was not enough, but it was capable of sustaining him until he escaped, a beast twisted by resentment with new weapons forged by unholy hands. Then he feasted on Wen’s. It’s a sick thought with Wen Ning sitting wide eyed and scared before him. Their fingers end in sharpened points and he is careful not to tear skin ( though he knows it does not hurt. He had tried to hurt. It’s hardly a pinprick to them. ) when he cups the back of the boys head and pulls him into an embrace, pressing forehead to shoulder.

    WEN NING IS NOT MUCH YOUNGER THAN HIM and has seen horrors equal to his own, if not surpassing. Still, he is his baby brother in all but blood by all but birth, and he aches to protect him. He has done a poor job.

    “ YOU DON’T HAVE TO, ” Wei Ying says finally. He has. He does. He will find a way to save Wen Ning from the whole of this fate however he must. “ I’ll find a way to do this without the... The blood. Until I do I’ll find a way to keep you full without dirtying your hands. ” Finally he releases him and offers a grin. It does not reach his hollow eyes and bares the fangs which most clearly distinguish him from the living. “ I told your sister I would save you and that’s what I plan to do. I’m sorry I couldn’t find a better way to start off. ”

tie between bev & alana! i love that bev is so grounded and clear-sighted and sensible while still having humor and being brave and a little reckless in her desire to find out the truth. (i would date the fuck out of bev) and alana is magnificent! alana is a bright sharp sword and a beacon of light. she's righteous and angry and protective and ruthless with a core of steel. actual knight alana bloom

Bev issss the ultimate gf like she really is like wife goals. We stan a woman with dimension!!! And yesss Alana is an icon, I really love her as this woman who touches greatness, who embodies greatness, whose kindness never leaves her. Even sharp and ruthless in the later seasons, she has this warmth that radiates, this tenderness that underlies the persona she adopts. I love her & her ability to separate herself from things, she’s more logical than people perceive her to be I think, both fanonically and perhaps canonically too. Lot’s of Virgo energy imo. I kind of really want to see Alana & Bedelia interact in a future season!!

in that gif, evans is licking taran killam (cobie smulders's husband)

i love that i’ve gotten two different answers for this. two different men he could’ve been kissing. we don’t know (this is probably correct), we’ll never know (again, i agree, it is probably him), but we do know that evans likes licking strange men on carpets and that’s remarkable.

i know it's not my place to get involved in the magneto discourse but charles's ideology has ALWAYS been inextricably linked to his privilege. like. dude literally lives in a gated mansion and he always has and always will have a layer of protection insulating him.

HA

i hope you don’t mind me posting this because this is such a mood - he is privileged both because he’s a white cis man and also because he has a mutation that is invisible and useful; he can pass as human very easily :/
