Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death!

Why does Heaven hold everything to ransom?

In the Job intervention we see that Heaven actively allows Hell to commit evil acts against a loyal man of God. The cruelty of these acts are obvious to Crowley and Aziraphale and presumably Hell too. Yet the institution of Heaven is completely out of touch with why destroying a person's children might be wrong, even if you give them new children afterwards. Still worse, Heaven only sees fit to reward Job with new children if he continues to love God after seeing his own children crushed under a building. We know that this does not track with the idea of the side that's supposed to represent goodness, truth and light.

It is the same with Armageddon, Heaven promises everlasting peace but at the cost of all creation. Hell certainly has its part to play, of course , but you'd generally chalk the destruction of all creation up to being an evil thing, so Hell's really just doing their job. Heaven on the other hand holds the world ransom for the sake of testing it.

With Heaven operating in this way surely Hell becomes a default state with anything that Heaven offers as an alternative qualifying as the greatest good despite just being a bit better than eternal torment. As Metatron points out to Maggie, given the choice between coffee and death, people will choose coffee every time. It seems that Heaven uses good as a means to control humans (and Angels) rather than as ends to itself which many humans understand it to be.

Of course it's all ineffable, but I don't think that Aziraphale was wrong to want to go and make things better in Heaven (and presumably down here too), rather than abandon creation to its whims. But that doesn't make his euphoria about being invited back any less spooky. I hope he's okay up there, he is my fave.

Once on facebook I argued with 2 different men on 2 different subjects in 2 different groups. It had nothing to do with feminism. A few hours later, both men sent me private messages saying almost the exact same thing : one said “suck my dick” the other said “you should only open your mouth if it’s to suck dicks”. Another time I was discussing the pressure women face to shave their armpit hair and this guy replied “nobody gives a fuck about your pubes lmao”.

When women debate men, men often end up making lured comments, sexual jokes or just simply throwing sexual insults. I’ve seen it countless times. It usually happens when the woman stands her ground/doesn’t change her mind/has a strong opinion about something/is a good debater. Their goal is to shut the woman up, put her in her place as the sexual object she is, humiliate her, make her uncomfortable, scare her, reduce her to her sex, remind her that she is worthless ultimately and might as well shut up. The goal is also to disqualify her in the eyes of anybody else who might be listening to her.

But it’s also very telling how men consider sex as a weapon to humiliate and control women.

When they said it might sing, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.

I think my dinner is possessed.

Absolutely spot on Kloktober art.

IT’S ALIIIIIIIVEEEEEE 💡⚡️⚡️⚡️

Do YOU Know What These Human Hand Gestures Mean?

I know this probably can't be answered for reasons legal and whatnot, but I have to take a shot: is there anything happening on the Storyteller front? Or was it all just a dream, too terrible and wonderful to be grasped by my waking mind?

Things Are Happening.

Probably stolen valour to say I've been on here as long, given that I managed ten years by disappearing.

got told at lunch "you feel like Tumblr Incarnate" and i had to tell them i've been here for 13 years and counting. i was here three years before dashcon happened. i saw the mishapocalypse. i survived the gigapause. i've been here longer than the shoelaces post. i've been here since it was hipsters versus fandom and i played both sides extensively by overdoing the sepia filters on everything and making my own flashing galaxy gif edits for my fandom posts. i'm every tumblr. it's all in me
