Others might say you are incompatible. You only bloom like flowering stars and find gentle union in silence. Should he hear those words, he would eviscerate every argument with the force of an army, the precision of a needle. He does not understand when you shrug off criticism like water rolling off you. You find a beauty in that.

This is about character development. Inside of a story, everything that happens, happens for a reason. It's meant to tell you something, to teach you or the character of your story, something.

So if the story continues and your character repeats the same mistakes again you know that they are bound to be doomed this time, and even worse the audience is going to certainly lose respect for them, cause they have made the same mistake twice, they haven't learned anything, they're gonna do it again another time, they don't deserve a happy ending. (yes I'm talking about good omens here) So you don't do that to a character that matters to you and you respect even the tiniest bit.

A Lot of us here are thinking that this is what has happened to Aziraphale's character at the end of season two, that he has done it again, repeated the same mistake again and has left Crowley to join heaven and it's been because of reasons like wanting to change Crowley (not true, see this post), still believing in heaven's goodness (not true at all), not being on the same page with Crowley (I'm gonna talk about this one especially in this post) and such likes. But these are the things he should've known better about after 6000 years and all the events that we've learnt about especially throughout season two. (It seems to be rather the whole point doesn't it?)

But we all seem to rather believe that he's made that mistake again nonetheless. so what we're doing here is trying to find reasons to justify the mistake and somehow make the reason behind the wrong actions something relatable to ourselves so we can forgive him when the time comes.

In fact I don't believe that he's made a mistake. for Aziraphale's character to be redeemable, what he has done, must be the only option that he's had for saving them both. I don't care what kind of situation could have resulted in him making this decision, but the only reason, the one and only reason, must be his love for Crowley. Otherwise it'll prove that he hasn't learnt his lessons or doesn't love Crowley enough to make a compromise, and in both cases, he's not worthy of love. He won't earn his happy ending by being tortured and feeling sorry and doing the apology dance for Crowley if he's hurt Crowley out of selfishness and stupidity again

But I'm sure he'll earn his happy ending and I'm sure he's learnt his lessons and it's too late for him to have unlearned them all in a matter of a few seconds. (He is an idiot but he's not stupid) and it's mostly because of this, that I believe the reason why he made that decision, must be very different from what it appears to be on the surface.

Anyway, this post is about what Aziraphale has learned and how he's changed.

I have made a post about their moments of conflict from both season one and two, it's here and you can look it up. This is where you begin to understand how Aziraphale has changed since season one because these are his dialogues after he's had a fight with Crowley in the bandstand, season one:

"even if I did know where the antichrist was I wouldn't tell you we're on opposite sides"

"friends? We're not friends. We are an angel and a demon. We have nothing whatsoever in common. I don't even like you"

"there is no our side Crowley. Not anymore. It's over"

And then there's season two, when they disagree on what to do with Gabriel, Aziraphale is the one to point out that they both rely on the life they've built together

He's asking him to help him take care of Gabriel together and in response Crowley leaves

In the final scene he asks Crowley to come back to heaven

"work with me" "We can be together as Angels, Doing good" "I need you."

He says anything he can think of literally to convince him to stay with him and it doesn't work

We start from "we're not friends" and arrive at "work with me. we can be together"

Even if we don't know the reason why he's insisting on taking Crowley back to heaven with him, this is an Angel that has picked up the pace. That wants them to be an us. No matter what.

But these are only a few dialogues. I think there's more than that. I think the show in five and a half episodes (out of six) has tried its hardest to make the point quite clear about how Aziraphale feels about Crowley (or how strongly he feels those emotions). all through the way he looks at him and through his gestures and soft touches from time to time

I'm gonna make another post of those moments separately and I'm gonna link it to this when I do.

update: (here's the post. not just average moments of Aziraphale looking cute, it's something about the way he looks at him)

This took quite a whole to answer, sorry! To help divide up these types of ficks, i divided them up into categories to help you find what you're looking for! (there is no bashing in any of these fics)

(also, real talk, how are you guys finding all of those bashing fics? ive only ever seen a few in the wild)

near and mello were horribly represented in the anime, and i think this is the best example of it. because not only is this shit translation from manga to anime, it’s shit translation from japanese to english.

halle says “mello probably knew what was going to happen all along.” then cuts to a flashback of her last phone call with mello.

and in ENGLISH, mello says “it can be resolved by having a name written in the notebook?”

nononono babes. that’s not what you said my love.

YOU said (in sub) “by having HIS name written in the notebook?“

AND IN THE MANGA:

i get it, it’s essentially the same. but in the english dub, mello doesn’t specify that it’s NEAR’s name that would be written to trick kira.

let’s think. would mello have sacrificed himself if it were anyone else but near who’d be at risk of dying? no he wouldn’t. he’d feel guilty if say, rester or an spk member would’ve died.

but it was near, and that’s why mello died.

so why the fuck are we not specifying that.

after he said this (in the dubbed anime) he then says “well then… if i don’t do it…” which i thought made him sound doubtful and not sure about his decision to sacrifice his life.

HOWEVER

THAT is mello. THAT is the badass who will stop at nothing to catch kira. THAT is the man who even in his intense effort to “beat near” realized that near wasn’t his enemy and therefore saved near’s life. THAT IS THE MAN WHO GAVE EVERYTHING TO CATCH KIRA.

i hate dubbed anime mello <3

Artist: niatsuki For: tsal-mavet  Prompt: Light/Near inspired by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s In Bed, The Kiss 

“Kiyoshi-“

“It’s Light.”

Near met the brunet’s stare.

He supposed it was dumb to think the other would remain oblivious to his whereabouts that night forever. Near may have had a few choice words to describe Wammy’s newest resident, but airhead wasn’t one of them (no, that was a word best suited for his blonde companion). Near only imagined, once caught, the brunet would be angrier with him, or at the very least annoyed.

Instead, he merely looked disinterested in ignoring the elephant in the room and sustaining false delusions when they both knew the truth.

Fine, then, because Near wasn’t interested in entertaining false delusions either.

“Light,” he offhandedly corrected and immediately wished he hadn’t, the brunet’s mouth slowly pulling at both ends. He spoke first before Light could make any unseemly remark, “How long have you planned to dethrone L?”

I missed it last time, but to explain what I understand: it’s a fan-run game on tumblr for various death note blogs! So like, the blog @lowlightprimed is acting as L, putting out clues and having the death note fandom help him solve a mystery! The blog was cleared after the last one (besides the audio recording ending, recorded by the actual (english) VA for L!!!) So I think the stuff on it is new, along with several people getting the same ask as you, implying it’s happening again! I’m super hyped because I thought it was a one-time-only :o

did you miss me i never left your side countryofhearts page gone

and i followed it to @countryofhearts

​First of all when I typed that just now, I got this: 

That is most DEFINITELY a picture of Chacha from Akazukin Chacha. Who do we know that’s obsessed with that series?

HOLY FUCK.

anyway, after i went to countryofheart’s tumblr page, this is what it looks like:

The first post says:  JURER QVQ VG ORTVA? that when translated with the same cipher becomes WHERE DID IT BEGIN? I feel that it’s important to note that on @lowlightprimed, the site of the original ARG, L left a message for B that you should listen to. At the end of the message, he says “this will end where it began.” Continuing on:

the countryofhearts page is playing songs from classic shoujo anime.

In the top left corner has the characters  VklDSQ== I haven’t figured out this part yet. The sidebar has links, number XXII (22), IX (9), III (3), and IX (9). Following the links in order leads to these pages: 

(hovering over each character gives their names) and lastly,

“Knowing Kira, he won’t run. Instead he’ll try to kill us before we get too close. And that’s where I’ll beat him at his own game.”

Near can still smile, laugh, and express himself.

He is not a robot, he is still expressive. Regarding his fanon relationship with Mello, I highly doubt Mello would ever get overly angry at him for not expressing himself the way allistic children do. As you can see when Near calls L a “loser.” Mello doesn’t fight him, yell at him, or any of the sorts. I dislike it when he physically harms Near for that reason, or for any of his autistic traits in fanfiction.

I’m sure Mello wouldn’t go out of his way to fight someone who is unable to defend themselves anyway.

I am not fond of fanon Mello and Near, and the casual ableism that is displayed by others who write them.
