“Aziraphale,” Crowley hummed, breathed, sang. He ran his fingers over angelic shoulders, silk sleeves cold against European wool.   “Look,” he motioned around at the red and gold, the lanterns hanging from homes, the people on the streets. “Look at them. Look at them. They’re beautiful.”

“Crowley,” Aziraphale untangled the bony-human coils from around his body. “Come on—there are crusades and, and—”

Crowley’s nose wrinkled in disgust. “No,” he said, “no I don’t want to go back.” He looked up at the sky, his once hidden eyes bare, and hummed with the drums playing around the corner. “Europe nails snakes to buildings—they nail them. They didn’t—they didn’t do anything. They eat the mice in their fields. The rats in their storage houses.”

Fireworks burst over the lake, blazing and bright.

“Is this what it feels like?” Crowley continued, his voice like a dream.

“Like what?”

The snake swayed and closed his eyes, basking in the cheers that rose up from the people. “Is this what it’s like to not be hated?”

Anonymous asked:

stonewall riots?

smiling-like-a-snake answered:

There was noise outside the walls; shouting, chanting, jeering. Aziraphale watched people run past him, leaving their coats behind. Some had glitter smears across their cheeks, others only had their stony eyes and gritted teeth. He stayed out of their way, murmuring soft words here, a gentle touch there.

Kindling a flame.

The first brick hit the wall of police shields. A hot bang-flash of a rainbow revolution being born.

Aziraphale smiled.

The constant attempted shaming and silencing of survivors on this hellsite? that makes me deeply uncomfortable.

Every time someone writes “you can’t write about that even if you’re a survivor and if you do you have to keep it to yourself”, what I read is the implied “you can’t write about your own trauma with the comforting distance of putting it on fictional characters, and if you do you’re not allowed to look for validation from other people.”

I read “you can’t share your story because it makes me uncomfortable to see it”.

I read “you should just be ashamed of the bad things that happened to you”.

I read “you should just suffer in silence”.

People act like not talking about abuse can… somehow stop it? And that’s not how it works. Shaming survivors only makes it easier for abusers to manipulate their victims. Silence protects abusers from discovery. It harms survivors by not letting them have the catharsis of understanding, and keeping them from support.

And I don’t feel like it’s anyone’s place to tell a survivor they have to out themselves to share, either.

So yeah. It’s not the only reason I’m anti-censorship, by a long shot, but there’s one reason I’m very much not on the side of “bad things can’t ever be written”- or on the side of shaming people who do write “bad things”, no matter what apparent reasons they have.
