I can’t believe I’ve finally started watching The Boys in 2026

Playing The Derrick

Not just as in "Aziraphale and Crowley were close to happiness", but as in "they were so close to writing a good ending". There are so many interesting themes. Michael being tired of trying to make Heaven run smoothly when the men-shaped angels in charge are incompetent. Aziraphale forgiving Michael, which made me realize how crucial forgiveness is to him, and how it makes him different from other angels. Angels are not forgiven when they make mistakes. They are sent to hell or killed with hellfire. Forgiveness is not an angelic trait, it's an Aziraphale trait, because he truly believes that love and forgiveness can change things. And Aziraphale's struggle doesn't differ from Michael's all that much, because he too is tired from constantly trying and failing to do the right thing (they just have vastly different ideas of what the right thing is). These were all interesting themes that deserved an epilogue that wasn't "let's just get rid of both you and the system, to make a new version of you that is not traumatized any longer".

Crowley getting a confrontation with Satan was great actually. And I wish Aziraphale had gotten some closure with God as well, instead of being insulted and seeing his love be called predictable, messy and silly.

And as for their final decision, I still think it is stupid, but if they really really wanted to go that way they should have let Aziraphale and Crowley kiss. The scene just calls for it. When Aziraphale turns back to Crowley after managing to hide his pain (and how I loathe the fact that my angel died as he lived, repressing his feelings, without a real chance to ever speak freely about what he wants), it would have been so poetic if he just grabbed Crowley by the lapels of his jacket in one last, desperate kiss. Not to convince him to change his mind, but as a goodbye, as a "I'm with you, even in death".

SO. THAT NEW EPISODE, HUH?

And the Stellar's sea lion, which are WAY bigger and live in Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska

An abandoned child grows too big and too strong for the house that raises them. They are other and are treated as such. The tension builds until the breaking point is reached and they become...[what they were made] [what they have always been].

This 12-page comic took far longer than it ever should have but here we finally are: My OC Vespertine's devastating backstory -- and honestly the core thesis of the entire character.

I've never really poured this much time into an OC project before so...this feels very vulnerable??? (pls be nice lol). The thumbs were created in 2024, and then the comic was finished only last month. In a perfect world I would make a webcomic or smth out of this but who knows ;v;

If you don't know who Vesper is and want to see some more there are bits and pieces scattered about under the below tag #story: Among Wolves and I always hope to share more about them...

finished my deltarune animatic! yippee!!
