"Pinhole Camera" Eclipse Effect !

During a solar eclipse, unique shadows can appear on the ground as sunlight passes through small gaps between leaves, creating thousands of crescent-shaped shadows.

I'm not really in this fandom and obvs don't support Neil Gaiman, skimmed the episode out of curiosity in a way that wouldn't put any money in his pocket, etc. But I just generally feel a lot of empathy for the Good Omens fandom, which I know has become a safe space for a lot of Queer people during a pretty tough time to be Queer. I understand how and why those are precious, and why it feels to some of you like you're losing that space, and that's why it hurts so much, because it can feel like we're still fighting for those spaces in real life. That it's not just about a television show but a world where you could envision the kind of happiness you yourselves want for the Earth and that that happiness could be indestructible.

So, as an outsider: if nothing else, the ending of Good Omens 3 really emphasized for me that the deeply and uniquely romantic opus that was 'crowley and aziraphale loving one another across time and space' was essentially made and perfected by the fandom, one that a certain rightfully disgraced author could never, despite his intentions, successfully appropriate into the actual text with as much depth and complexity. Fandom always realized that story far more powerfully (and with way, way more curiosity into their inner lives, something that always utterly mystified about the actual show) than seasons 2 and 3 ever did. And the finale can't actually kill the most beautiful version of the story, which the author ultimately validated as true but never fully realized better than all of you did. I hope at least there's some power in that. NG was in the end only a small fish nibbling sustenance off the belly of a larger fish which was all of you. I hope at least there's some power in that. That story will always be quite literally infinite.

WTF this is masterful, 10/10.

Other people have said this in notes, but the Bulwer-Lytton contest involves writing the most absurd opener you can think of and submitting it to the contest. It's not a judgment like the Razzies or the bad sex in books award or something; it's a game. Diana Murtaugh of Baltimore is to be congratulated for this win.

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."

I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.

[reggiemess]

Who does this benefit. Who is made safer by this. Whose life is made better by this. Who is out there going "Wow I sure am glad I didn't have to see that word without it scribbled on a little. That really reduced the emotional impact of reading that word." Can I kill them?

I think about this cake every day

[tizzymcwizzy]

sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious

[microsuedemouse]

OP, I hope you don’t mind me making an addition:

When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.

The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?

This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.

I love a botched cake.

one time me and some pals spotted one of those big cookie cakes in a store. it was done up with red icing and little X's for kisses and in the middle it said

No One Like You

now, it took us a while to realise it meant "(there is) no one like you". at first, we all parsed it as a botched "no one like(s) you"

for ages after when we'd wind each other up we'd declare "NO ONE LIKE YOU ☹️👎"
