i see a post talking doom and gloom about how we'll never escape toxic masculinity. i think about back in 2017 when american girl released their first boy doll, and a review for him went viral in the collecting community. the review was written by a mom, who said they went into the store to get their daughter a doll, only to see their son's eyes light up like fire when he saw a doll that looked like him, and now every night he puts his doll in pajamas and rocks him to sleep. i think about the toddler in my daycare room a few years back who was obsessed with baby dolls, carrying them everywhere, and his mom proudly told us he uses his sisters' old baby dolls and wants to be just like them. that toddler saw another toddler crying one day and gave her the doll he had to cheer her up. i think about the eight-year-old boy i saw a few years back, excitedly waving around raya's sword in a target checkout line like all his dreams were coming true. there was a video on my instagram the other day of a little boy at disneyworld crying with joy upon meeting his hero, mulan. i think about the voice actor for bow in the she-ra reboot saying his nephews only wanted adora action figures. celebrity men are wearing dresses on tv now. last halloween i saw a little boy dressed as elsa. i went to go see spiderverse over the summer, and in the line ahead of me was a boy who couldn't be older than twelve or thirteen, bouncing and beaming, giddy with excitement over getting to see the female-led romance movie elemental. i think about the five-year-old boy at my library who breathlessly asked me where the pinkalicious books were, eyes widening when i had more on my cart, his mom explaining that he is all about pinkalicious and fancy nancy. i saw so many pictures online of boys and men dressed in pink to see barbie. teenage boys are gonna open their phones and see the man who wrote fucking game of thrones dressed in pink to see barbie. when i was a kid, a boy dressing in pink was practically a social death sentence. there are boys running around in pink on my street right now.

Someone's angel

aziraphale is gay as fuck and i don't mean to dimish that at all when i say i think he goes extra insane when crowley presents as a woman. not for any particular reason beyond he loves crowley and crowley makes him insane and he loves seeing her enjoy herself so when she's like "hey dude it's woman time 'cause i feel like it" he's like "JOLLY GOOD!!! 🥰🥰🥰"

look at beelzebub's face

"you see this idiot i'm running away with" "you don't have to run away with him" "no im going to"

Oh shit i just realized

“Love like yours will surely come my way…”

It’s about Az and Crowley - or at least it reminds Beelz and Gabriel of those two, particularly Gabriel. We get the sense that Gabriel has reevaluated his feelings about Aziraphale post-notpocalypse, especially since he’s started having similar problems with Heaven’s plans to end the world. Then he starts reevaluating Az’s relationship with Crowley, like “oh, I can see why they would have gotten together - it’s like me and Beelzebub getting along.” And then he and Beelz share this song that makes him think “I do want what they have - I want a love like that.”

Anyway.

Ineffable Husbands (I'm in denial about the ending)

The most under-appreciated joke of the whole season is Gabriel repeating: „everyday it’s a getting closer“ with a straight face. And everyone starts panicking, thinking a second apocalypse comes. But it turns out it is just a song he used to listen to with his lover. And that is both extremely sad but also extremely funny

Sharing my SDCC Beelzebub cosplay with you all! I made it before season 2 came out, and I think it looks pretty decent!

dr who is so crazy imagine your species goes extinct except for two theater kids who call themselves The Orthodontist and the Administrator and they just go around causing problems and destroying your entire culture's reputation

did you hear about the ancient race of enchanted elves? they fell into the darkness of their own hubris. anyway that over there is the two survivors, Wiz and da Boss, who are only taking breaks from kicking each other in the nuts to make out
