one of the things that dissatisfies me about s3 is the 'war in heaven' scene, because it sort of encourages the viewer to take crowley's fall more seriously than we're potentially encouraged to in the book (and even the first season of the show).

from a shippy perspective it's a really fun scene. and i know that there's a general impression the fandom seems to have formed around crowley's fall, with some amazing fanart and fanfic portraying it as a dramatic and heartbreaking affair... but one of the things i like so much about the original story is that, in it, crowley genuinely doesn't seem incredibly troubled about his fall. i really think, in the book at least, it was, for him, not much more than 'sauntering vaguely downwards', because while hell is definitely portrayed as a scary force that can and does do bad things to its subjects, joining that 'side' was sort of just something he fell into and has had to stick with ever since, even though he doesn't really believe in hell's mission. the fact that he ended up as part of hell's 'staff' is not something book!crowley frequently troubles himself with or tortures himself over - even if the threats he receives from his bosses every now and again do genuinely frighten him.

a lot of folks hc that crowley jokes about his fall to hide how traumatic it was for him, but i actually don't think it was intended to have been particularly traumatic, or even a dramatic spectacle, in the book. the fact that it was sort of just something that vaguely happened to him is deliberate, in my eyes - it points to the arbitrary nature of the 'sides' he and aziraphale are respectively on. the whole point is that the 'sides' themselves don't actually mean much in the end, so to paint crowley as someone who's tortured about the fact that he fell thousands of years after the fact is really interesting in its own right as a piece of fanon, but also feels to me like it isn't entirely true to one of the things the book was trying to say.

the tv show, from the 'before the beginning' scene in s2 onwards, definitely leads us towards this idea that falling was dramatic and difficult for crowley, and further cements it in the 'war in heaven' s3 scene. that's an interesting new angle to bring to the tv version of crowley's character, and we now understand why that impression of crowley's fall is impressed upon us - to lead up to the scene with god and satan in the bookshop and make the dialogue in it more meaningful, for one thing. but the version of crowley i will always favour is the book version/to some extent s1 version (the s2 1827 flashback and how it potentially informs the s1 1862 scene does mean the s1 lore ends up feeling slightly different to the book when it comes to this, as does the scene with crowley's book of planets in his flat), where his relationship with hell is basically a representation of a shitty (government) job, albeit with scary bosses, who intermittently interrupt his regular routine of just 'getting on with it'.

another interesting aspect of this is the final fifteen, where a lot of folks interpret crowley's rejection of aziraphale's invitation as disgust at the prospect of being made an angel again, and also other references to how he feels as though he's no longer the angel he was etc.

in the book, while aziraphale still clings to his identity as an angel to some extent, he isn't overly concerned with it. book!crowley doesn't seem particularly attached to his identity as a demon or more generally as someone who's no longer an angel. the words 'angel' and 'demon' are basically just labels that have been put on them - job titles which they know are necessary for their superiors - but they don't put as much stock in these as their colleagues probably do. the show makes much more of a thing of their respective labels and that does, again, make for an interesting new version of the characters and how they interact, but i think i still prefer a&c's more relaxed approach to their 'identities' in the book

idk who needs to hear this but it’s healthier for you to just accept that you’re gonna be kinda fat than it is to live the rest of your life miserably trying to monitor yourself to maintain a skinny weight your body doesn’t want to hold onto

knownqueerbaiter

“nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” what feels even better is living a life where your self-worth isn’t entirely dependent on your thinness and you don’t constantly monitor and shame yourself. attaching the tweet that was worth at least five hours of therapy for me

hello I am at my wits end and I need to know something. Do you talk to your mother every day?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 6 days 7 hours

No nuance. If you don’t have a mother/are no contact etc this is not a poll for you.

You can elaborate as to how often you feel is a regular amount of communication between an adult child and their mother.

#nah #but every week we call each other for at least 3h lmao

Okay I reblogged this before I saw the corkscrew and now I'm dead

"Friend" is an AI wearable device designed to provide "companionship + emotional support"— i.e replace human friendships. Its literally an AI chatbot that you wear around your neck. "Friend" just paid for the largest ad campaign in NYC subway history

And Every. Single. Poster was vandalised, it literally looks like some of the most beautiful art you have ever seen

c-rowlesblogs

Kylie Robison and Boone Ashworth of WIRED both wore these stupid things for a couple weeks and reported the kind of experiences one might expect to have with an interactive AI device invented by a 22-year-old techbro:

The chatbot-enabled Friend necklace eavesdrops on your life and provides a running commentary that’s snarky and unhelpful. Worse, it can als

"I love you but you're doing wrong in a way I cannot condone" and "I hate you but you're being wronged in a way I cannot stomach" are top tier and I need more of them.

My dietician recommended something I have somehow never once thought of, which is that if you are going to consent to be weighed at a doctor's appointment but are concerned the whole appointment will become about How Your Weight Has Changed, you can ask to be weighed at the end of the appointment instead of the beginning. For years I've been operating as though my only options were 1) decline to be weighed, 2) consent to be weighed but face away from the scale and ask them not to tell you the number, or 3) do it the way they expect, but there are in fact more options if you further permit yourself to deviate from the standard operating procedures of the doctor's appointment

Btw I did this yesterday and it worked out great!
