I have feels, and I understand this is where one is supposed to express them. I currently have feels on: • Dragon Age • Our Flag Means Death And have, in the past, had feels on: • Good Omens • James Bond • Far Cry 4 • Penny Dreadful

I would like to point out, that Neil posted this behind the scenes picture of Crowley’s Mona Lisa sketch from Leonardo da Vinci (x):

Where the inscription is:

Al mio amico Antonio dal tuo amico Leo da V. meaning To my friend Anthony from your friend Leo da V.

Which means that around 1500 Crowley had already chosen ‘Anthony’ and then spent at least 440 years hiding it - perhaps for the reason that the angel would not like it - from Aziraphale until the Nazis outed it

I think Aziraphale is just a drama queen who preferes the name Antonio. His friends at the Hundred Guineas Club thought he had some exotic Italian lover in his past, and he loved that they thought that (for some reason he couldn't tell you why though...)

Honestly I’m on Ed’s side when it comes to throwing out Stede’s books and clothes.

Like, obviously Stede should be mad about the crew and Lucius, but at the end of the day, the books are just things.

Both because- 1) Ed had no way of knowing Stede would be back and 2) Stede wasn’t actually planning on coming back when he left (if Mary had accepted him, he might have stayed)

I’d toss his clothes too.

It's totally Ed's way of saying, "Don't reach out looking for your stuff, I know it's a ploy..."

People I can't take seriously

Antis: Omg shipping underage characters is pedophilia!! Even if you age them up, even if you only ship them with each other, you're basically a pedophile apologist and putting actual minors in danger!!
Their blog header: [Age 13-17]
Me: You know, in my day, when we were worried about sexual predators in online spaces, WE DIDN'T TELL ANYONE HOW OLD WE WERE. WE *LIED* ABOUT OUR AGES, **SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE** WE'D BEEN WARNED ABOUT PREDATORS. IF YOU REALLY BELIEVED THESE PEOPLE WERE PREDATORS, YOU WOULD SAY YOU WERE 22 LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS 14.

I wanted Solas and Cole to talk about Good Omens but the stupid egg made it all about himself.

Cole: They loved being real, so they saved the world.
Solas: They preserved the world as it was. That may not constitute saving it. After all, the world they loved was entirely predicated on a mistake.
Cole: The demon made the humans make the mistake, the spirit helped them survive.
Solas: And sowed the seeds of all destruction. The world was corrupted and became what it never should have been.
Cole: But the people would have been hurt.
Solas: People had been hurt by their mistake for millenia. Do we leave a wound to fester to avoid amputating the limb?

I just engaged with Dragon Age fandom making a philosophical argument about the legal rights/protections for an entirely fictional class of people.

So if I turn up murdered any time within the next, like, decade, you'll know why.

Friendly reminder that there’s an extremely violent and adult superhero comic where many terrible and morally ambiguous/questionable things happen and are incited by equally morally questionable/ambiguous main characters, BUT of all the dark things going on in this comic, the one thing that was treated with a surprising amount of respect and sweetness and care and sensitivity, almost in complete contrast to the frankly assholish tone of the entire comic, was their canonical gay superhero couple, who were the first mainstream superhero gay couple to ever get married in a comic

For all its flaws, I’m glad for this rep in The Authority and how they didn’t treat two gay men raising a daughter together as a joke or a homophobic morality tale. 

Especially given that these comics were published TWENTY YEARS AGO 

As an addition, the girl they’re raising represents the spirit of the 21st century. The Authority was deeply flawed in so many ways but I always really liked the hopefulness of that idea, that the future was being raised by the gays. 

Always reblog Apollo and Midnighter, especially with baby Jenny 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨👨‍👨‍👧☀️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🌙

In 9:37 Dragon, Dorian escaped his father and fled to Kirkwall to stay well out of reach. But he arrives at a city in turmoil and has a run-in with a hypervigilant elf, who hates everything about him.

So I started a Fenris/Dorian fic, giving shape to the various ponderings I've had over the years about how to make this ship work. As such, I have only a vague idea where this is going (spoiler: they're gonna bang), but the first chapter poured out of me fairly quickly, so hopefully that keeps up!

Confession: big fantasy: Bull’s lover not being able to take him so they have to practice on toys. Bull gets a whole line up of men who want to fuck them and gets a mold of their cock to fashion a dildo from. Wherever his lover ends up, whichever dick they can’t get past, that’s the man that gets to fuck them that day. And they go through just about everybody, sometimes pretending that they cant move past one of the toys because they’re so curious

Repurposing confessions as fic prompts; I’m calling this kink “dildo library”.
