What if demons and angels can fuse (like in steven universe), but since none of them dance, it never happenned.
Except Crowley and Aziraphale know how to dance, and one day it happen, they fuse and they’re like, so confused, or felt something like that was possible and just pushed their luck to find out.
(Also maybe it hapenned before between Ligur and Hastur, but they freaked out and never mentionned it to anyone.)
I don’t mean to be That Native™ on the side blog, but this little shoutout was a highlight for me. Áčam•a (thank you), @neil-gaiman for the nod even in a satirical sense. (And Neil, while I’m here thanks for writing Sam Black Crow in American Gods, that was an important moment for me) I always reimagine my favorite characters as indigenous. I’ve certainly done that with our Angel and Séwet (snake) here, too. Like I’d die for Michael Sheen and David Tennant and love them with all my heart and soul, but if those were Native actors in those roles, I’d be the happiest person alive. I couldn’t even explain how that would feel.
(Side note, I’m still stoked Adam and Eve were black! Like I’m all for poc representation because it helps out all minorities when we support each other on screen and behind the camera!)
One character who constantly makes bad puns … except the UT totally fails to translate them. “I guess you could say he … had a bad time”, “Well, I don’t think they’ll be … visiting again any time soon”. There’s some other aliens of the same species who groan every time
A group of aliens who share a common language get into a discussion about grammar … but the UT translates the word they’re arguing about the same way every time. “It looks like they left in a hurry … or is it ‘left’?” “You’re expressing uncertainty, so you have to use the subjunctive form ‘left’” “No, you don’t use the subjunctive here, you’re expressing a deduction based on evidence, so you have to use the deductive form ‘left’” “Wait, you say ‘left’ for the deductive? Are you from the Southern Continent?” “Yes, I am. Wait, what’s it in your dialect?” “We say ‘left’ where I’m from”
A character unexpectedly becomes angry at another character. At the end of the episode you find out that the first character had switched verb forms to a more affectionate form when speaking to the second character and was mad that they were ignoring the obvious indication of their feelings
The captain nearly derails tense diplomatic negotiations because of a UT slip up, inadvertently implying a definite claim to a particular planet, as opposed to a tentative claim subject to negotiation
The crew is visited by a group of aliens whose UT is a few centuries out of date, so they’re greeted with Early Modern English
An alien recites the equivalent of Jabberwocky and the UT just completely gives us “’Twas something and the something something did something and something in the something …”
The thing with Early Modern English has happened with one minor recurring character in X-Men comics. It’s a start.
