Aziraphale: Doesn’t Remember Which Side Was Responsible For A Historical Period 🤔 🤔

Reasons to ship Midge X Lenny from the Marvellous Mrs Maisel

The show is very feminist and relevant, despite being set in a time period that was awash with sexism and misogyny. Lenny is a great example of that, being the first male character to see Midge as more than a housewife or mother, and he never once doubts her skills as a female comedian.

. He is (or at least tries to be) a gentleman, giving up his taxi so Midge gets home safe, pays for her and Benjamin’s table on their date, and gives Midge his coat to wear on a cold night when he bails her out of jail and she loses hers.

. They have an irresistible chemistry between them - witty banter, some lingering looks - but what’s more than that is they’re more alike than they know. They’re both controversial, outspoken comedians who don’t give a hoot in hell about not being allowed to say “obscene” things on stage, but you get the feeling they both feel quite lonely and tired sometimes, which is why I love the scene in the bar so much.

It’s the first time we see Lenny vulnerable, shockingly different from the charming, slick character we’re used to. And the fact that they find each other right when they’re both feeling tired and disheartened and like giving up and they’re able to confide in each other says a lot about their relationship. Watching this scene from an outsider’s viewpoint you’d think these people have been friends for years, but in the show they’ve only known each other just under a year and even then rarely see each other, but they’ve got this connection that’s so intimate and interesting to watch. They’re both clearly attracted to each other but never either a) act on it or b) have actually realised it yet, but there’s some casual flirting that just warms my shipper heart🥰:

1. Lenny: “I heard some cute uptown chick got arrested doing a set, I put two and two together.”

Midge: “Called me cute, huh?”

2. Lenny: “Wait, was I supposed to make a pass at you?” (My personal favourite 🥰)

3. Lenny: “Does he know?”

Midge: “Know what?”

Lenny: “That you’ve been corrupted. Lured to the dark side of the microphone…”

Midge: “One. Date.”

Aagh, their chemistry!😍And those lingering looks and smiles and the way they literally light up around each other you can’t help but get drawn in - also literally everyone on the show thinks they’re slept together or are sleeping together 😅😉 Even while Midge is on her date with Benjamin, we get that delightful scene with Lenny and she absolutely glows, because, in my opinion, they just bring out the best in each other and it really shows on the screen.

I’ll ship it die I die!😍😍 *Jumps into the fandom trashcan*

Mythbusters Physics: Relative Velocity

The Mythbusters tested what would happen if a ball was shot at 60 mph off the back of a truck travelling at 60 mph to see what would happen.

It became a perfect example of the relative nature of physics - showing that velocity can vectorially add together. 60 mph in one direction cancels the 60 mph in the other, meaning a net velocity of zero.

Tum se hi

Aankhon mein aankhen teri, baahon mein baahein teri, 

mera na mujh mein kuch raha, 

hua kya?

Baaton mein baatein teri, raatein saugatein teri, 

kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya? 

Hua kya?

I really can’t stop thinking about how the only reason we have this show at all is because of a promise Neil made to Terry, because they had been trying to get it made for years and it kept falling through and then Terry died and Neil absolutely was not going to do it without him but Terry asked him to make sure it got made, so Neil put aside everything he felt about making it without Terry and did it anyway, and not only that but he wrote the adaptations (which as far as I know isn’t something he has done for his other works) and took on the role of showrunner aka a big job that’s a lot of work, and literally didn’t do the thing he does, didn’t write, for almost two years to make sure he could make this show the way it was supposed to be, the way Terry would want it, he did all of that out of love for his friend and to keep his promise. So we’re all losing our minds over these two occult/ethereal beings whose love for each other is as present throughout human history as the sun and stars, whose connection to each other is as fundamental as the earth itself and persists throughout the limitations of time, but the only reason we have that angel and demon and their love is because of the love Neil has for Terry, his own love that transcends the limitations of time, and he took that love and made it into this show he didn’t even want to make once Terry was gone but Terry asked him to so he did anyway, he took the sheer enormity of love he felt for his friend - and it must be enormous, just look at all he did - and he made it into this show, he made a show about transcendental love out of his own transcendental love, and it just feels like something precious and it feels like such a gift and I just don’t want to overlook that and I really want to say: thank you, Neil. Thank you for sharing that love with us.

G for Krishna?

Grass

His mother despairs of the stains it leaves on his clothes, but Krishna knows there is no more wonderful smell in the world, nothing better to feel against his fingertips.

Gentle

Calves’ hearts are won by kindness rather than cruelty, and so are those of men: ministers exclaim at his skill at diplomacy, and Krishna thinks that it is only common sense.

Guile

Red-blooded warriors may mock his cunning and cowardice, calling him Ranchod; but if one man more will survive for it, he cannot bring himself to mind.

Guide

He leads the way for Arjuna, for Yudhisthira, for Parikshit after him–and there are none to lead the way for him. 

Green

Yellow is the color he loves best, but when he closes his eyes, it is green he sees: the grasslands of Vrindavan, open to him once more.

Urmila was her parents’ only biological child, yet she never begrudged Sita the position of eldest daughter. She was overjoyed when she learned that her sister’s husband had a brother whom she could also marry so they could go to Ayodhya together. On what should have been her sister’s coronation day, her sister and her husband were both exiled to the forest. She was willing to accompany them as well and only stayed behind to take care of her parents-in-laws. She was the only child of Ayodhya present at Dasharath’s deathbed, since Bharat and Shatrughan were in Kekaya on state business. Urmila gave up 14 years of her life to sleep so that her husband might protect her sister and her husband. She finally woke up to see her sister return from exile, see her sister crowned, see her sister excited to welcome her first child... only to see her sent back into exile, never to return.
