There is a silence in me these days. The voice I once used to hear on repeat has ceased to exist. She seems to have disappeared. I don't know if I miss her but there is a void where she used to be. I can't specify what it is exactly that I've lost but I've gained something else in return, silence.

Tier Ranking of Comedy TV That I’ve Watched
A Tier-my faves: The Good Place, New Girl, 30 Rock, Scream Queens
B Tier- I was invested and entertained, always happy to watch: Tacoma FD, The Mindy Project, Boy Meets World, The Goldbergs, Fresh off the Boat, Modern Family, Blackish, Superstore
C+: Brooklyn 99 (might be higher if I watched more)
C Tier-good shows to throw on when there’s nothing else to watch but I don’t particularly like it:The Office, Parks and Rec, Miracle Workers, Those Who Can’t Do, Suburbia
C-: Scrubs
D+: Friends (not a D because of the theme song and also its iconicness), My Name is Earl
D Tier- I watched a couple episodes, not a huge fan/didn’t hold my attention: Shrill (this show would be higher in the ranking if I were ranking it as a drama), Good Girls, Angie Tribeca
this idea can't only live in my head anymore. MLP/The Good Place au. The ponies never meet on earth and so they don't do their whole character growth thing yet.
Both shows have themes of friendship/love, growth and redemption. Also I'm obsessed with both of them so mandatory crossover ideas.
Discord is Micheal, because of course, and the main six take the role of the humans.
Janet would probably not be one of the pre existing characters because she's so unique, she'd probably be an alicorn though, to show how much power she has
so yeah, here's a crazy AU
The Good Place/The Amazing Digital Circus- I really don't know what to call it 😂

Obsession Update #1
The Good Place
If Janet from The Good Place can wear dresses and have long hair and use she/her pronouns and not be a girl, so can you!
If you make a promise to someone, you should do it. Just like I promised to help you and still am, despite your constant mockery. “Despite your constant mockery.” Whatever, you love it.
Low key I'm kinda bored of and annoyed by the preponderance of works that have Boring If Not Outright Malevolent Angels on one side and Nuanced, Charismatic, And Honestly Not Evil Demons because it just seems like a perpetuation of the idea that good is fundamentally flat or banal or not even good at all, that Goodness is something performed to achieve something else, usually power or control. In fact, I don't object to nuanced demons so much as the imbalance (only the "evil" side is allowed to be anything approching, well, approachable.)
But then I'm like "well identification with monsters is something that marginalized groups often feel because it forces us to question what is monstrous, so the idea of finding compassion and humanity in those deemed inherently unforgivable is actually very powerful and subversive"
But then I'm like "but is it subversive or is it laziness? It's hardly revolutionary at this point, it's like people making children's toys scary. It's supposed to have a tension between what something should be (childlike, innocent) and making it wicked. But now it's so common that dolls are often considered inherently creepy. So where's the subversion in a creepy doll? There's none. Where's the subversion in mean Angels or angels who have no interest in or love for humanity?"
But then I'm like "well but aren't angels traditionally destroying cities and saying Be Not Afraid?"
And I'm like, again just to myself as I pace my kitchen, "I mean YEAH but they're also like flaming wheels or whatever, I'm not sure how much these works are genuinely interested in angel mythology"
Then as I make coffee for myself, I think, "angels represent the traditional hierarchy, the traditional Christian dogma, and therefore are stand ins for the authority that we must question"
But then, as I realize we are out of sugar and my coffee is therefore ruined and am thus more susceptible to thinking there are demonic forces at work in this world, I go, "but demons in these stories aren't systemically kind. They're just cool. They're individuals and help individuals if they feel like it. In these stories, there's no mass concern for all of humanity really."
And then I conclude, "maybe angels are written cruelly because the world seems cruel and therefore there cannot be a Divine force involved in our daily activities looking out for us. Demons are by their nature doomed to fail which makes stories where they try to do Good have a more natural conflict and also explains why things in the world aren't better. For if there were angels, a legion of angels, always at work, shouldn't things be better? But we don't know how the world could otherwise be. But it seems hard to argue that this is in fact the best of all possible worlds. So demons make an easier to identify with protagonist while also being powerful and having cosmic impact. I believe many stories doing their own take on angels and demons would benefit from truly trying to imagine angels and beings of love, rather than the cold and distant figures I often see in fiction, but I understand the framework behind that conception."
Then I add to myself, "of course since I'm mostly talking about like urban fantasy, it might also be that people just wanna fuck demons more."
Everything is The Good Place and nothing hurts.
Morgana all the way! But Gwen: so sweet, adorable, utterly gorgeous. Arthur, very much agreed, seriously hot. Personally though Merlin is very lovely and beautiful.
