Im tired of questions about season 2, we need answers to more important questions- such as, do either Crowley or Aziraphale like ABBA? (Very important question)
But. But. Consider. The deliciousness of it being the other way around. Hob Gadling, who is alive over six hundred years now, has learned a thing about secrecy or two. He had to. Heβs beloved by all his students, kind, attentive, always open to questions. But he barely talks about his private life.
Morpheus, Literature Professor, is surrounded by young, bright minds, with countless daydreams. Yes, heβs kind of grumpy and a little aloof, but heβs never condescending or snappy and never gives too much homework. So when heβs even grumpier than usual, someone asks him whatβs up. Nobody aside from Hob and Matthew and Lucienne was ever interested in how he is. And suddenly heβs teary eyed and has about 30 attentive faces trained on him, and theyβre all HUMANS, maybe they can help him with HIS human.
So his students listen as he sobs out that his husbands cat hates him, really, and heβs tried to cook again yesterday, but all he produces is weird mush and it tastes really bad, but his beloved eats it anyway and he feels so guilty about it and he does not deserve him -
His students set him up with YouTube step by step recipes and try to derail every lecture after that by asking about his husband. It doesnβt work every time, but when it does, hoooh boy. They learn everything from his husbands grocery shopping habits to the details of their holidays, they help with his struggle to find gifts for birthdays and Christmas, they listen to him complain about their fights.
It takes about eight months, until he tells them that he has to hide his lecture materials about Shakespeare in his closet behind his shirts unless he wants an hour-long tirade, that a select handful of students finally realize who this elusive husband really is.
I’m trying to figure out if I’m a dude or not and I thought I was being stealth two months ago hitting up my mom like “Hey I might get a chest reduction what’s ur opinion” then last night with the “Yo if I was a guy what would you name me” I GOT A FUCKING PHONE CALL LIKE “You know you can just tell me you’re trans. You’ll still have depression as a man but whatever. You know my opinion doesn’t fuckin matter right just tell people to fuck off, you used to always tell people to fuck off, what changed why do you give a shit now. You were cooler when you were eight and didn’t give a fuck” AS IF THAT WAS A CONVERSATUON I WAS READY FOR AT SEVEN IN THE GODDAMN MORNING
I remember telling my dad over the phone I was transitioning and he just said, yeah that happens, and continued audibly eating a salad.

why did you post a gif from a movie with fascist and racist source material. you do know what starship troopers is about right?
Are you a “I don’t check my notifications. I have 2538 unread emails” mentally ill and/or neurodivergent person or a “ I have to check all my notifications because that little red bubble in the right corner of every app fucks with my vibe” mentally ill and/or neurodivergent person?
I cannot have ANY notification bubbles! They must die and be gone from my home screen or unexplainable anxiety and rage ensues within me.
