do you look like an ethnicity you're not?
one line in the book that drives me nuts is vincent saying that he was born in a poor family and raised as a boy because they're more prized than girls. which reads to me that his family had expectations for him and that's why he was raised as a boy. probably not in the "expected to carry on the family name" cuz that's not how Philippines does it sexism. though as part of Manila's urban poor, vincent might be expected to either go to school, get an education and a decent job so he could financially provide for his family. that or be "katuwang ng magulang" and go straight to work, hustling in the streets of Manila.
it reads estragement from his family which is probably why he left and never looked back for 30 years. becoming a priest probably disappointed his parents and goes against the plan they have for him

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes
A loanword is a word taken from another language, such as ‘angst’ or ‘tsunami’ or ‘calque’. A calque is a literal translation of a word from another language, such as rhinestone (from French caillou du Rhine) or blueblood (from Spanish sangre azul) or loanword (from German lehnwort).
He deserves it.
The truths that Crowley hides from Aziraphale are really stacking up.
Crowley never told him the details of the archangels trying to execute him.
Crowley didnt tell him that Gabriel said "shut your stupid mouth and die"
Crowley didnt tell him about the Book of Life punishment.
Crowley hasn't told him what he learned in Heaven about Armageddon 2.0
Crowley hasn't told him about Gabriel's trial either
Crowley hasn't told Aziraphale why he is so sure that even as Supreme Archangel, Aziraphale won't be able to change anything meaningful about Heaven, how Crowley knows that Aziraphale is actually putting himself in a vulnerable position by going back. (My theory is that Crowley was formerly the Supreme Archangel before he Fell, which I have a lot to say about.)
Sometimes Crowley's desire to protect Aziraphale from harm, even from the harm of knowing too much, is so strong it makes him act illogically. This absolutely has to be resolved in order for their relationship to be repaired and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
This is your daily reminder to be kind to others. Always be kind to others. Fandoms are a safe space where people can relax and finally be themselves. Don't ruin that.
