How are we all feeling about Aziraphale’s last “I forgive you”? Does it mean I forgive you for kissing me to try to get me to stay, I forgive you for choosing this moment to reveal your feelings, I forgive you for not coming with me, I forgive you for kissing me period??? What?

I keep going back and forth on it and I NEED to hear what everyone else is thinking. Lay it on me, I’m open to new interpretations because everything hurts and I’m dying.

It's his default dance step in the same old game.  Crowley challenges him: i forgive you.    Note this isn't the same as a 'no'' - more and more across the years  it becomes coded speech.  Crowley says something or does something Aziraphale secretly agrees with or Aziraphale wants, but doesn't think he can have, and so he responds with the same words.

Fuck the plan! / i forgive you

Run away with me / i forgive you

Be mine / i forgive you.

And this last one, oh this last one HURTS because they both know the code.  They both know the dance.  And Crowley's response to that last overture?

"Don't bother."

It's not "don't bother forgiving me', Crowley is stepping out of the dance.  He's giving up.  They're done.  He threw everything in and lost. 

Theres a novel by Poul Anderson called The High Crusade, which has an alien spacecraft land in rural England in 1345 during the Hundred Year’s War. The local baron has been raising an army to help King Edward against the French, and immediately assumes this must be some kind of enemy trick.

In a way, he’s correct: the aliens are scouts for a brutal and repressive interstellar empire, which has dominated numerous planets through their devastating technology.

Unfortunately, this reliance on advanced weapons means they’ve completely forgotten all forms of melee combat and Sir Roger of Tourneville leads his militia to defeat the aliens easily.

They spare a single enemy, forcing him to fly the ship at spearpoint. They intend to raid behind enemy lines, capture the king of France to end the war, and then go onward to reclaim the Holy Land using the same tactic.

In an attempt to outwit the knights, the alien pilot actually travels to the nearest Imperial planet, where he expects the occupying military forces to save him.

I won’t spoil the details, but the knights accept this as a challenge and declare the launch of the “high crusade”.

That last picture is so stupidly badass I might tattoo that next to my dick cause it ain’t getting any better after that

My favorite part of the book is that the Englishmen attribute all of their victories to the fact that God loves them the most for not being French.

my brother started calling our cat "doobie brother" which he then lengthened to "dubious brother" and has since morphed into "brother dubious" like he's some sort of fucked up little monk

brother dubious

whenever I tell someone “I’m tired” and they say “go to sleep” and I say “I’m not that type of tired” and they say “there’s only one type of tired” I always feel amazed. Astounded. How do they not know the different versions of tired.

  1. Physical exhaustion from the chronic illness. Not drowsy, but needs to lay down. Maybe my Hashimoto’s or bad knees or plantar fasciitis is acting up, but either way, I need to relax with an ice pack and a tens unit.
  2. emotional exhaustion. The type of “tired” people mean when they say “I’m sick and tired of x.” I’m so numb and usually I’d be about one minor inconvenience away from snapping but the exhaustion of being alive has gotten so heavy that I don’t even notice inconveniences anymore.
  3. drowsiness. If I’m trying to tell someone I need to sleep, I’ll say “I’m sleepy” or “I want to go to bed.”
  4. unable to process what’s going on but the closest word I can use to describe how I’m feeling is “tired.”

5. The kind of tired that comes with severe brain fog. You don't mean to be struggling so much just to answer a simple question, but you are. And the effort makes it worse.

6. Mystery Mix, youre not about to fall asleep but what were you doing again? Why? Right. Ow. Would this be a good time to cry?
