this was how i read that scene

[starfleetacademy]

Crowley is so petty and doesn’t like sharing aziraphale’s attention so much he was willing to drown a duck that was just. eating some bread that aziraphale threw at him

God does not play dice with the universe. I play an ineffable game of my own devising.

Aziraphale after a few drinks with Crowley

“I know Michael Sheen is a hundred percent sure that Aziraphale falls in love with Crowley, and that moment occurs when the bomb drops on the church.” (Douglas Mackinnon)

[princesshamlet-deactivated20210]

Don’t go unscrewing the lid.

[thingsinspaaace]

I’m sorry. I’m sorry but the restrained fearful longing in Az transposed against the sharp, guarded desire in Crowley is going to be the death of me. This moment encapsulates so much of their dynamic, where Az was like “Maybe someday we can go on a casual date and ignore that it’s a date” and Crowley is like “Not to be dramatic but I will go however far however fast its up to you but also you should come home with me tonight, move in with me, and/or run away with me to another galaxy where we’ll be together forever” And poor Az is like “blease I just realized I’m in love with you I need another 1000 years to process this”

[ninebagatelles]

“We often have to explain to young people why study is useful. It’s pointless telling them that it’s for the sake of knowledge, if they don’t care about knowledge. Nor is there any point in telling them that an educated person gets through life better than an ignoramus, because they can always point to some genius who, from their standpoint, leads a wretched life. And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful.”

Umberto Eco (1932 - 2016, RIP)

[bimbocracy]

every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.

[bimbocracy]

“women can’t drive”

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.
