Most shows with overpowered supernatural characters always try to come up with elaborate excuses to explain why the characters can’t just magic themselves out of every situation. Good Omens doesn’t really do that, but you don’t really question it because you completely buy that these morons are so unequivocally incompetent that they straight up forget that they have the powers of fucking demigods. They’re like high-level d&d characters who only use the same three moves and have completely forgotten about the 73 magic items sitting in their inventory.

Aziraphale: Oh I’m sorry. But listen, I need you to go to this village about an hour outside of London

whether it’s closing the curtains, repainting, or trying a new pillow, there are lots of ways to improve your sleep. You can make it a project or just a couple of minutes.
Sensory play is often suggested for children and adults with special needs. But textures can be calming or stimulating for anyone. Have fun and see what works for you.
Everyone has occasional aches. Even if nothing hurts, it can be incredibly relaxing to get a nice massage. If you massage yourself, you’ll get exactly what you want with no strangers or fees necessary.
It might be that pajamas make you feel comfortable with the world, or that you like putting your best foot forward in slacks and a button-down. Dress in whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
Whether they’re famous quotes, single words, or affirmations, meaningful words can be healing, empowering, or soothing. Find words, quotes or affirmations that work for you and return whenever you need to.
it’s natural and automatic, but it’s still important to think about your breath once in a while. More efficient breathing means more oxygen, which helps your mind and body feel and work better.
laughing when they try to fight back when i force myself on them because it’s so cute and delusional how a weak pathetic toy like them could think that they could ever stand a chance against me and stop what i want to do to them
