Hey, I don't know if you could help, but my class is getting shut down in school for Literature and the Arts, which is storytelling and mythology and fairy tales, if you could please sign our petition, my friends and I all love your stories and want to write too. Even if you can't sign or show anyone, thank you.

Give Me Coffee or Give Me Death!

Why does Heaven hold everything to ransom?

In the Job intervention we see that Heaven actively allows Hell to commit evil acts against a loyal man of God. The cruelty of these acts are obvious to Crowley and Aziraphale and presumably Hell too. Yet the institution of Heaven is completely out of touch with why destroying a person's children might be wrong, even if you give them new children afterwards. Still worse, Heaven only sees fit to reward Job with new children if he continues to love God after seeing his own children crushed under a building. We know that this does not track with the idea of the side that's supposed to represent goodness, truth and light.

It is the same with Armageddon, Heaven promises everlasting peace but at the cost of all creation. Hell certainly has its part to play, of course , but you'd generally chalk the destruction of all creation up to being an evil thing, so Hell's really just doing their job. Heaven on the other hand holds the world ransom for the sake of testing it.

With Heaven operating in this way surely Hell becomes a default state with anything that Heaven offers as an alternative qualifying as the greatest good despite just being a bit better than eternal torment. As Metatron points out to Maggie, given the choice between coffee and death, people will choose coffee every time. It seems that Heaven uses good as a means to control humans (and Angels) rather than as ends to itself which many humans understand it to be.

Of course it's all ineffable, but I don't think that Aziraphale was wrong to want to go and make things better in Heaven (and presumably down here too), rather than abandon creation to its whims. But that doesn't make his euphoria about being invited back any less spooky. I hope he's okay up there, he is my fave.

the worst thing that could possibly happen to ao3 is it being put on the app store so please stop asking for it because you don't understand what would happen if that went through. ao3's whole deal is it archives EVERYTHING, while the apple app store's whole deal is keeping everything clean and safe. so if ao3 were to have an app all of the 'bad' stuff, including nsfw in general, would have to be censored at best or would be purged at worse. the google play store is more lax but who fucking knows what GOOGLE would police if they got their hands on the archive. do not ask for an app. do not use third party apps. it's on mobile browser functioning perfectly, just fucking use that before you ruin everything for everyone please.

This is amazing

I lost control somewhere in the middle

I know this probably can't be answered for reasons legal and whatnot, but I have to take a shot: is there anything happening on the Storyteller front? Or was it all just a dream, too terrible and wonderful to be grasped by my waking mind?
