I Am Neither Team "Aziraphale Is The Asshole" Nor Am I Team "Aziraphale Defense Squad."

I am neither Team "Aziraphale Is The Asshole" nor am I Team "Aziraphale Defense Squad."

I'm the secret third option: Team "Aziraphale is a flawed complicated messy traumatized character who has frequently fucked things up and made morally questionable choices and I'm rooting for him anyway because I don't think any of those things make him unforgivable, the bad guy, or undeserving of a happy ending. But he still did those things and I'm not interested in explaining them away as something else, actually, because a flawed protagonist who has fucked things up but still gets there in the end and is loved and forgiven is really important to me, actually."

But that's not quippy enough, I guess. Maybe I'll start a one-person effort to popularize a tag like "flawed protagonist aziraphale" or "let aziraphale have flaws" or something else in that vein.

I don't know, the more polarized and shouty this site gets about Aziraphale the more depressing it is and the less I want to post about GO (other than to reblog all the delightful fanart I get to see on here, y'all are so talented sdfklghskjfg). I came here because I thought this at least had a slim chance of being the nuanced conversations site but it's kind of becoming a drag.

digital fanart of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role. Essek is a drow with light purple skin and short white hair, dressed in an ensemble of a dark form-fitting shirt and trousers with silver embroidery; his torso is wrapped in a hishi karada, plain ropes tied in a repeated diamond pattern over his clothes. Caleb is a light-skinned human with chin-length red hair and a beard, wearing a simple white shirt, underarm holsters and dark pants.
they are lounging on a settee, looking at each other. Essek is sitting with his legs crossed, holding a glass of wine in his right hand; Caleb is leaning in to Essek, his left hand resting low on Essek's stomach, with the thumb sliding underneath and slightly tugging on the ropes leading down between Essek's legs.

happy valentine's day, friends! 💜

a week or so ago i ran a bunch of polls on what kind of shadowgast picture i should draw for v-day, and y'all have helped me build something really fun! especially with the three winners of the color poll (purple, teal, and orange!). i don't know how much of a 'regular shadowgast' this picture has turned out to be (regular shadowgast are probably studying ancient tomes in a dusty library as we speak), but let's say that i am giving you the plot bunny gift of figuring out the setting of this scene 😏

tip jar!
