I've always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.

- Leo Tolstoy

Personally, I think Aziraphale didn't ask Crowley to return to the angelic state because he doesn't accept him as a demon.

He loves Crowley. He absolutely wouldn't want it any different than he is. It's unquestionable. He looks at him with so much love that your heart bursts watching them.

He asked him because at that moment, under the threat of Megatron, it was the only way to protect him. Crowley, on the other hand, was understandably hurt by this. Lack of communication (and bad, bad timing) turned two big acts of love into one big, painful mess 💔

Today I decided to actually sit and write this down.

I was very much inspired to do so by my little family in the North, these people who I Absolutely Adore, and who were very surprised I hadn't "come out" to them as nonbinary. To be honest I found it pretty funny at first, I have literally been walking around with a nonbinary flag stitched to my backpack for years now and we just walked Pride with me wearing an enby flag as a cape.

It made me laugh that they were surprised, but then it made me think and feel a bit shit for not openly just saying it out loud, even if I thought it was obvious, I should have just mentioned it

So here, because I know they have questions and because maybe I can put some answers out there for others who might be wondering about the nonbinary experience.

I lived most of my life in function of what I WASN'T, I grew up and never identified as belonging with the blue or the pink team, I was my own team, but I didn't have a name for it.

I started growing boobs and hated everything about it, I was distressed month after month with my period, I was becoming more clearly "a woman" and it was horrible, it became a mission to cover it all up and find the biggest pair of pants and shirts available, to do my best to hide who I wasn't.

It was a weird inner struggle and I didn't even have the words to describe it, all I knew was "I am not this and I am definitely not that either" it made very little sense in my pre-teen brain, so it was left unsaid.

I grew up and to some degree I gave in to peer pressure (for a little while) I did the makeup and the dresses, the skirts and the "make yourself pretty for this occasion". It was less lonely that way, it made my mom happier to see me dressed the way she expected me to dress, it came with less arguments... Less arguments, less bullying and a lot more dysphoria, but I didn't know this word, I just knew I was uncomfortable and I knew I was putting a show, going through the motions that were expected of me.

By the time I reached 17 I actually made an appointment with a surgeon to ask about removing the 2 lumps of flesh that sat on my chest. It didn't go well, but I at least was able to voice out for the first time "This isn't a part of me that belongs here, this isn't me"

I slowly gave up on the womanly act, I understood that the act was adding to my anxiety, and eventually with the Internet I started to find others like me, others who didn't belong to one side or another, others who lived quite happily in the middle. I learned the word Nonbinary and it felt SO GOOD.

I've come to understand that I feel better in a more masculine presenting way, maybe because it is further from the box I was supposed to fit in, or maybe because that's just who I am , maybe a bit of both.

I have stopped trying to "play the part" assigned to me, to be kinder to myself and allow the inside and outside to match.

I am now comfortable knowing who I'm not, and proud to understand who I am.

I appreciate the questions, even if I'm really REALLY bad at articulating the answers on the spot.

I love the people who have accepted me and encouraged me to be me.

I hope this made some sort of sense, if not feel free to keep asking!

Anyway 🥂 To shades of grey and to our own side ✨

(couldn't help the Good Omens reference, deal with it)

This is dedicated to Diana & Marcos, Love you very much

No wonder Crowley always looks so grumpy and sulky.

Like, for example, here is this goofball of an angel, being silly for your entertainment, radiating unadulterated joy, with the softest looking cupid bow lips, the cutest nose, beaming at you with the most beautiful smile you've ever seen, making heart eyes at you, and you are not allowed to kiss the living daylight out of him.

Frustrating.

I found there’s a 16th century pub I’m South Downs called Noah´s Ark, so when the South Downs event prompt is "Food and Wine" I just had to "Oy Shem it " of course.

It was a pain in the ass to make a whole building, but it was worth it for the stupid joke.

Make South Downs Ineffable

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

something about the way Aziraphale was always wearing period-appropriate clothing until after the night in 1941. something about the way he found that moment in love, and thought oh, and thought, this must be how the humans say time stops in love, and decided to keep stopping time, even just a little, ever since that moment

Last thing I googled: I don’t remember exactly. Amish names, I think, for a short story set in that community.

Looking forward to: two big things in quick succession! Next month, I’m helping to run a convention and got Jamie Flanagan (writer, actor, and director Mike Flanagan’s younger sibling) to come as our celebrity guest! I’ve met them over Insta DMs because we were TOC buddies in an anthology, and now I get to meet them in person. Then, a week later, I’m going to Ireland for a writers workshop in Dublin. I applied sort of on a whim and was waitlisted, so I figured I wouldn’t go. Then, in February, I got an email saying a spot opened up for me! I’ve always wanted to go, but cosmic forces like a pandemic and Taylor Swift have conspired against me every time I made solid plans lol
