Somebody Loves You

@everythingisouroboros

The theme of this blog is whatever I want to scream into the void.

Deep in my feelings about all the ways Crowley loves Aziraphale. We know he loves his big heart and intelligence and sparkiness and tendancy to sass, but I don't think I've ever fully appreciated just how much Crowley admires Aziraphale's unpredictablility.

Aziraphale likes to think he's a sturdy moral compass and he moves at an absolute snails pace most of the time, but every once in a while he will do something so spontaneously bananas, so batshit-out-of-the-galaxy left field that Crowley is left both stunned and utterly delighted. Examples include blowing up his halo and almost starting a war, deciding to go to revolutionary France because he fancied some crepes, voluntarily performing a death defying magic trick, and of course the classic original - giving away his god-given flaming sword to save humanity.

Sometimes these are inconsequential choices, but often these decisions are brave and in the pursuit of a noble cause and I think Crowley secretly adores that about Aziraphale. Loves that sometimes he just throws caution to the wind for the things he's passionate about. Which, ironically, may be exactly the thing that's now torn them apart.....

Unpopular opinion maybe, but big fan of s2 characterization of Crowley & Aziraphale’s dynamic. What if we were in love but we couldn’t say it and we had to pretend we didn't even like each other. What if we created elaborate rituals where you could save me. What if everything we wanted had to be asked for in code. Then, what if we defied the people who kept us apart. What if we didn't have to be scared about it anymore. What if we still kept talking in code, and I asked you to dance, but it didn't mean to you what I thought it meant. What if we started to worry that maybe we hadn't been saying the same thing all this time after all. What if we didn't know how to have a relationship that didn't have to be kept secret.

What if I only figured out that was a problem until it was too late.

Your boyfriend says lets blow everything off and go have one of our boozy rich person brunch dates and maybe kiss a little bit and you're like nah bro I have to go do the work of jesus christ our lord. I don't know why conservatives don't like this show that's basically the plot of every video the catholic church shows you in middle school CCD

Does anyone else have that thing where you try to ask people about a problem, like "hey I have no mouth and I must scream, what do I do?" and someone goes "well have you tried yodelling?" and when you explain you can't do that either, because of the whole no mouth thing, they keep suggesting different things you could do to make noise with a mouth, and you keep repeating different variations of "the problem isn't the sound I should make, the problem is the mouth", while everyone keeps listing different languages you could learn, or learning to whistle or something, and you just want to copy-paste "the mouth. the mouth is the problem. the problem is the mouth", and you're ultimately at a complete loss of how to explain the problem at hand because you've re-worded it so many times you're starting to sound like Mojo Jojo.

And eventually people just go "well clearly you don't want a solution to this problem, you just want to be miserable" when you still don't know how to explain to them that the problem that they were trying to suggest solutions to is not the problem you were having, currently have, and are still in the middle of having. You would probably be doing the solutions they were suggesting if it weren't for the problem specifically preventing it.

Or am I just bad at explaining things.

Trying to treat my carpal tunnel and developing a vicious rivalry with my arch nemesis Sleepy Me, who likes to wake up randomly at 2am and take her brace off. The Brutus to my Wrist Pain Caesar. A foul traitor who would burn the world we all inhabit simply to revel in her own fleeting comfort. She is not to be trusted.

"dont die" is my favorite thing to tell people when they say theyre gonna go do something. going to the store? dont die. going to the bathroom? don't die. going to Mars? don't die. going to write an email? don't die. driving to the gas station? don't die. it fits every situation except for maybe a funeral visitation because then i think thatd be a little bit rude

Most of the time I play stardew valley for fun but on the occasion I just wanna make money and nothing else I’ve got a Method.

So. Roman’s method for when you don’t wanna have fun and just wanna see number go up.

Crows will only pick on your crops if you have 15 or more. So. First day you plant the 15 parsnips Lewis gives you. No more. No less. Then you go foraging for everything you can find. Sell the flowers. Don’t gift them. We’re making gold. Then clear as much of the farm as you can before your energy runs out.

Second day you water the parsnips, bring a chest with you to the beach, and fish. Don’t sell the fish. Just fish all day.

Third day of spring it always rains. You’re gonna fish all day and hopefully get to level 5. If you don’t, you can get to it tomorrow.

Fourth day, if you’ve gotten to level 5 and chosen the perk to make your fish worth more, sell them. If you haven’t, wait till tomorrow. Harvest your parsnips and sell them. This will get you to level one farming so you can build scarecrows tomorrow.

Fish and go foraging.

From here on out until you can get the mushroom cave, you need to forage every day so you can keep your energy up. I love the fruit cave too but mushrooms will give you more energy.

Parsnips give you the most gold and xp per day but it can get cumbersome to water all of them so potatoes or cauliflower will do if you’d prefer.

As soon as the mines open you need to get in there. On good luck days you’ll be in there. On bad luck days you should be clearing the farm, fishing, foraging, doing something productive.

The goal is to get as many quality sprinklers and preserves jars as possible before summer. To do this you’ll wanna get really far in the mines because you need a lot of quartz, iron, gold, coal, stone, and wood. So filling the beach and train platform once it opens with trees may also help you.

Come summer, melons and blueberries are probably your best bet. Hang onto the bad quality ones and plug them into the preserves jars.

Fall, your farm should be covered in sprinklers by now because you have talked to nobody and dedicated your whole life to sprinklers and preserves jars.

Pumpkins. You’re rich now. If you’ve unlocked the quarry you can fill it with preserves jars and kegs. You can meet the villagers in year 2 after you’ve sold your soul to the grind.

If you’re thinking ahead to greenhouse and ginger island and don’t have ancient fruit yet then saving some blueberries and cranberries to turn into seeds later might also be good
