Science Is Back

oh fuck, oh god

I simultaneously:

#also like………… crowley and aziraphale during the blitz  #crowley at the very least has Connections in the intelligence community #and aziraphale UNRELATEDLY finds a note shoved under the door from time to time - dates; times; places #it’s usually not more than a day’s notice but it’s enough #enough for aunty aziraphale to spread the word around soho #enough for the lost and the bright and the castaways and the defiant who still must live and love in secret #to dress Appropriately and wipe off their faces before they must seek shelter with the rest of London packed tight underground #(aziraphale cannot decide if this is grace or if it is an indignity) #(he thinks of crowley huddled in the hold of an ark with two score mesopotamian children and says nothing) #the whole earth is shaking and dust is falling from the brickwork and even as mothers try to soothe their wailing children #the lights flicker and then go out - and come back and then go out #on and off and on and off #and pressed against the wall of the tube station aziraphale sees a gleam of golden eyes on the opposite side #meeting his gaze across the huddled shapes illuminated by the flickering light #all those humans casting their eyes up in supplication to something far above them #and down in the dirt and the noise and the shaking aziraphale and crowley don’t need to say anything #as the bombs fall - they’re both concentrating as hard as ever they can #not here #not here. #not there #some have to hit; otherwise there will be questions #but not all of them #the foundations of structures remain #more live than would have otherwise #maybe that’s enough #either way - aziraphale knows it will not be long until the next note is shoved beneath his door in that familiar chicken-scratch lettering #and so all he can do is this: keep calm. and carry on. 

This is my first time seeing this and I suppose my days of NOT writing about the 105 year Disagreement are coming to an end…

Imagine looking at this sweet, brave baby and thinking "Ah, yes, he deserves to be belittled and insulted repeatedly, treated like the villain for *checks notes* enjoying earthly pleasures and trying to make things better and save the universe and make Heaven and Hell stop treating people like shit, and not get the happily ever after he's dreamed of for so long."

Look, if it’s not written by the original author it’s fanfic.

"everyone should get more aromantic" can appeal to tumblr's sensibilities but I genuinely think everyone should also get more asexual. I don't mean everyone stop having sex, what I mean is

women also used to do the family taxes

it cannot be stressed enough nor pointed out too often that the way this works and always has worked is that whatever women are doing is bad. when what women are doing changes, then what is bad changes so that what women are doing is always what's bad. what jobs are for women and therefore are bad have changed in the past and will change in the future. the only constant is that women are bad and what women do is bad and they will make up brand new explanations for it every time but it is always simply that women are bad.

It appears that all parties with the exception of Restore are not going to entertain Farage’s media circus.

"The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it."

"i'm a professional writer and my best idea for how to continue this lighthearted comedy about how destroying the world is bad was to make destroying the world good and also have the main characters do a murder suicide"
