I've gone off several times at this point about how Crowley keeps wearing a vest on top of layers that really aren't complimented by vests. Turtleneck? Vest. Grey t-shirt? Vest. Henley? Vest. Do I love it? Of course I do. Is it awful? Also yes.
And then this morning I thought, in a post-wakeup, pre-coffee, mid-pushup haze, what if he's doing this to mock match Aziraphale. Maybe it's a weird little, "Oh, you're going to wear the same waistcoat for a couple hundred years? Cool. I can do that too."
I mean, I'm pretty sure we only see him without it in instances where there's little to no chance of them seeing each other (watching the bookshop, watering his plants, infiltrating Heaven like a flamboyant murder hornet)...
can’t even remember the last time i was so heartbroken about a show ending (or a band breaking up at that or smth). which says a lot, cause too many creators give in to the temptation to drag on until no feeling is left in the work of art at all. of course, there are other shows that ended right where they needed to (like Derry Girls), but on a personal level i just haven’t had that much emotional involvement in a show in such a long time. and by god, this feels like my central nervous system is being torn out nerve by nerve

i actually find it REALLY interesting how much parents/guardians play a role in teen wolf, and specifically how it shows you, again and again, that sometimes the difference between doing the right thing and the wrong thing is just a matter of having a grown up in your life who taught you to do the right thing. like. you can see the effect that different parents have on their kids in this show, and of course i’m not saying that having good parents is the be-all end-all of being a “good person,” but it’s also far from nothing.
over and over they show us that kids turn out better when their parents support them. melissa mccall is always there for scott. she loves him unconditionally. even when he isn’t the greatest student (or even son), she supports him. sheriff stilinski loves stiles with everything he’s got. that doesn’t preclude his ability to be a good parent. it just means that he loves stiles, even when stiles is breaking the rules (or laws), even when stiles’s actions get him fired, even when stiles lies to him. because he knows that it’s the responsibility of the parent to love the kid, even when the kid isn’t perfect.
take liam dunbar. i mean, think about how easily liam could have been corrupted. the kid had anger issues so bad they had to kick him out of prep school. but in the hospital, when liam is telling his stepdad what happened, you can tell that liam doesn’t want to disappoint his dad but also that his dad would never be disappointed in him. you can see how much he cares about liam! and he loves liam even though he has anger issues and got kicked out of his last school and now might never be able to play the sport the two of them bond over. he just loves liam because liam is his kid.
if you think about it, the presence or absence of good parents pretty reliably predicts the (at least initial) nature of the characters on the show. allison’s relationship with her parents runs pretty much parallel with her character arc throughout the seasons. same with lydia. same with isaac, who goes from having an abusive dad to, let’s be honest, a still-abusive-but-in-a-different-way alpha. (i get that derek has his own shit going on and i love him and his character growth is great but seasons 1-2 derek are really Not It Chief.) look at kira, and the obviously loving relationship she has with her parents. i mean, hell, jackson’s entire kanima arc has to do with the fact that he’s an orphan.
for the record, i am not at all trying to say that kids with bad parents are destined to end up “bad” in any way. not at all. i’d also like to add that this is a tv show, so inherently not a totally accurate reflection of real life. but i appreciate teen wolf for not sidelining the crucial role of a supportive parent or guardian in the character of their kid. it’s a privilege to see the best in people - a privilege to give everyone the benefit of the doubt - and it’s one scott probably doesn’t even know he has. his mother is a healer. he was raised to believe that all lives were worth saving. would scott be a true alpha if his mother had been worse? more absent, less loving, less caring? maybe not. just food for thought.
TL;DR: teen wolf parents are hugely important to the way their kids grow up and approach the world, and i appreciate that teen wolf doesn’t hold back on reminding us of that.

The best part of being friends with fic writers is when they send you snippets of their WIPs although this can very easily be the worst part too
