Had A Really Rough Few Weeks- Mentally And Emotionally, But This Actually Healed My Soul A Little Bit

Started watching the Musketeers (2014, on Prime) recently bc I had a lot of free time on a roadtrip across the US. I wasn't sure if I was gonna like it- I love it period-pieces/historical stuff, but I tend to unintentionally have a specific taste in stuff that I'll continue watching on my own time.

But I am not exaggerating when I say that I don't have the words to convey just how much I absolutely love the show.

I'll probably bullet-list my favourite bits about it some other day, but I'm watching season 1 again, and I thought i should share my favourite line from the show.

Context: a woman (Comtesse) who advocates for women's education is being put on trial bc 17th France has a toxic patriarchy, but it particularly stems from the King's advisor (played by Peter Capaldi- I know! : D ) in this show. The Queen of France comes in right as the woman is sentenced to death for "being a witch and consorting with the devil", and essentially pardons her.

Comtesse stands to leave the court, and looks the king's advisor directly in the eye.

Comtesse: I have never consorted with the Devil unti this moment. I am looking at him.

And then- completely outside of Comtesse, the king's advisor starts choking on poison lol

I'm at work I'm off in an hour I'm gonna have to schedule this cry session- thanks a lot T-T /pos

I don’t think there’s going to be “you were wrong, I was right dance” I think there’s going to be “please dance with me”.

I either see Aziraphale, apologetic, extending his hand to Crowley, hoping he will take it.

Or Crowley, seeing how sad and full of guilt Aziraphale has been looking, hearing their song, standing up and seeing Aziraphale wince because he thinks Crowley can’t even sit by him when this song plays, but Crowley walks over to him and extends his hand and smiles at him.

I am, actually. One of my favorites <3

is this anything

Just spreading the word, even though it won't get very far through me : )

Abit of a sad post =/

Do any critters or anyone really want to try be friends?

When I was younger I used to speak to so many people online. Im an introvert and was undiagnosed adhd and autistic at the time so it was alot easier. Had alot of people and a few main people. Some i spoke to 10 hours aday, some we video chatted even if we were getting on with our own stuff. I live in the uk and they were all in the usa. This lead to 7 and more years worth of friendships untill I got older and then decided to travel to see them. It was a huge part of my life, i went to New Jersey, new york, Chicago, LA, arizona, Las Vegas because of these friendships.

Over the last few years since i finished my university degree and masters i have been stuck in my house. My friendships have faded or ended due to decisions and directions my life went in and now i find myself unable to work, now diagnosed with adhd and autism... all of the greasing and regret that comes with that, stuck on obsessing on what used to be.

The only thing I really get joy from now is critical role, its become my special interest and even with that when I'm in bad places I get jealous of their friendship and wish I could have that... so I still can't fully be happy. I now only have 2 friends that are fickle...

So here I am, baring my soul somewhat and wondering if there are other people out there like me.. maybe you need or want a friend, I don't know. Anything at this point would be apriciated... I think I'm a good person, but after a while you start to think we'll maybe I'm not and I hate that feeling. Drop a question, or strike up a convocation if you want. Maybe you want to just reblog this if you feel the same.

Either way, if you have gotten this far, thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful day/night

Okay but THIS THIS- is why the ineffable breakup literally made my heart skip several beats in utter despair- because there was that MOMENT where the Metatron asks Aziraphale if he's ready to go/if he needs to bring anything with him- and the HESITATION PRACTICALLY SCREAMING OUT OF AZIRAPHALE as he flits his gaze and his stance and his position between looking out the window at Crowley (being closer to her, walking AWAY from the Metatron) and looking at the door to his bookshop (being closer to Heaven, walking AWAY from Crowley).

He's making a major life decision, and he KNOWS it- and there is something inside them that is screaming THIS IS THE WRONG DECISION- RUN TO CROWLEY RUN TO CROWLEY-

But he's determined- to change Heaven, to reinstate Crowley- I don't know. But she's got a plan and she's gonna stick with it because under everything she really does fight for what she wants and what she loves- I just hope it doesn't become their downfall.

tragedy enjoyers (hi) talk a lot about inevitable tragedies where the character(s) were doomed from the start, but to be honest as someone who does not believe in fate/destiny/etc. irl, the kind of tragedy that Really gets to me is the kind where you can see exactly why and how this didn’t need to happen, and you can also understand why the choices were made that made this happen, and you watch an entirely unnecessary but devastatingly predictable tragedy unfold due to a series of understandable choices

What's the quote from Ted Lasso?

"Teenage girls are dark, and mysterious, and dangerous."

The Despicable Me theme song- for some reason. I haven't watched those movies in literally YEARS 🙃🫠

ATTENTION

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

I just think this is neat T-T

Aziraphale's favorite color is yellow

So I've been seeing a lot of theories n stuff floating around bc of the new OFMD trailer and teaser. One thing I couldn't stop thinking about was that Izzy seems to be somewhat protective (or at least tolerant) of Stede in the teaser.

It seems like maybe he's training Stede to fight properly. And theory I've seen most recently is that Izzy realises how badly Ed misses and needs Stede, and so is training Stede for the sake of Ed's mental and emotional health. And while I'm all for character development, this doesn't seem completely plausible for Izzy.

All that said, here's my theory for Izzy's reasons for training Stede and actually helping him:

So I realised- assuming that Ed really had been shipwrecked and ended up stranded somewhere- the crew no longer have a captain that they truly respect. Izzy may be incredibly intimidating, but we can see how resistant to following orders the Revenge crew was when Blackbeard wasn't around, and how willing they are when Stede or Ed are the ones giving the orders.

The Crew won't listen to Izzy. Only Ed and Stede. They don't like Izzy- they don't respect him. And if Ed is absent, and Stede manages to find the rest of his crew around the same time Ed goes missing, Izzy would have really no other choice than to secede the role of captain to Stede so Stede can lead the crew and pirate well enough to find Ed again and restablish him as captain.
