one person's "ugghh this trope is so overdone" is another person's "oooooohohohohohohohoho"
fandom etiquette as a whole died when people who didn’t grow up on fandoms became stans during lockdown, yes, but why am i seeing people openly mocking fics on twitter. why am i seeing screenshots of fics with captions like “bro what is this 😭.” why am i seeing people mock fic writers for not knowing how sports or theater or college or any other organization operates in the real world.
“college is absolutely nothing like this” “why are we writing four people on the team scoring a hat trick in one game” “so tech work is nothing like this, hope that helps!”
if you don’t like a fic, and if you can’t suspend your belief enough to enjoy a fic that exaggerates or ignores real-world orgs, you don’t have to read it. you don’t have to screenshot it and put it on blast for twitter. you don’t have to post a link to it in the replies. the back button is literally there on your phone. it’s not giving baby’s first fandom anymore, it’s giving entitled asshole and it isn’t as cute as you think it is.
aziraphale + not even acknowledging that crowley is saying no to him (to be clear i am posting this affectionately <3 i love this dynamic)
THE FINALE
Its a long time since i last posted or interacted in any social midia, but i felt the need to come and give you a piece of my mind.
I just watched the finale and I can say, with all my heart, that for me it is perfect. By the end of it I was crying and sobbing with so many emotions, and not a single one of them was sadness or disapointment.
What do makes me feel disapointed, though, is the behaviour this fandom is having with the way it decides to show its desaproving of the end.
Sincerely, what did you expect? That they made out in the bookshop? That they kissed and kissed and kissed after ALL these years of trauma and miscomunication, in the middle of all this MESS? This is not a piece of fanfiction (and i say this with the ultmost respect to all the writters of fanfiction in this world)
Good Omens was NEVER a show that had this sort of vibe. And it is the artists involved in the production's style for it to be this way. The show had NEVER promissed to fulfill this UNREAL expectations that you had, and yet you are throwing yourself in the grownd and crying like a child over a thing that we just get to have because the people involved had to FIGHT for it to exist.
We are lucky to have this 90 minutes, do you not understand that? That it was way easier to just leave the project after all that happened (Neil Gaiman's shit), but they still fight with prime for these 90 minutes?
That they had to work a whole season of 6 episodes into this tiny little time of screen and STILL didn't lose the touch of good omens and its style?
Do you have an IDEA of how difficult it might have been?
The art is fabulous, the acting is clearly made with love and despite being a bit rushed (which is completely understandable) it is perfect and stays true to the nature of the show until the very end.
Honestly? For you who have been bitching about they not having a mouth to mouth kiss, I got you. But it certainly isnt a reason to be disrespectfull towards people's art. To cuss and say the show its ruined just because you didn't like it.
Let me teach you a very important thing, my friend.
Not liking the show≠the show being bad made.
Aziraphale and Crowley ended up going loving each other freely, finaly. And they did it with style.
"I wish they had been more selfish". So you wish they werent themselves, im afraid.
Aziraphale had put it In Crowley's hands the choice of his life and despite HIS DREAM being right at his reach he wished for something bigger. For one of his favorite creations (humanity) to have free will. Something he never had.
He had asked "did I said the wrong thing?", and Aziraphale laughed. He laughed because the demon could have everything he wanted and yet he thought about mundane, impure, insignificant people. The people they loved.
And that, right there, is exacly what makes the angel loves him so so so much. That's what makes everything right.
If you think your insatisfaction is jusctificated with "the movie was BAD MADE" instead of "I didn't like it" because you thought they were exchange humanity's well being for themselves's, then I will have to ask for you to whatch the show again, because you probably did it with your eyes closed the first time.
As my final words on this:
To the messiest, silliest, most predictable thing in the universe.
To the world.🍷🍷
Oh thank we’re not alone @solemnxrequiem ! I just felt so warm and happy at the end of the episode. Literally, the only thing keeping them apart was heaven and hell and I truly believe 6000 years of that fear and indoctrination couldn’t be solved with a kiss of desperation. Them getting to start anew without hang ups and still finding each other and choosing each other was just SO GOOD 🥰
This is now my new favorite best friend duo
Yeah okay Ill reblog that!
Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.
The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.
(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)
This whole thread is so beautiful to me that I can explain it
The man who invented the K-Cup coffee pod almost 20 years ago says he regrets doing so and can't understand the popularity of the products t
L. David Mech, who popularised the idea that there were 'alpha' and 'beta' wolves in his 1970 book The Wolf, has spent the rest of his career trying to debunk this. (The original studies were done on captive wolves, and thus didn't simulate an accurate model of wolf pack dynamics.)
The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator, or alpha wolf, comes from old studies of captive wolves. In the wild, wolf packs a
In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare.
“What would be the value of calling a human father the alpha male?” says L. David Mech, a senior research scientist at the U.S. Geological Survey, who has studied wolf packs in the wild for decades. “He’s just the father of the family. And that’s exactly the way it is with wolves.”
it would be so nice if you were allowed to start working on projects before you hit the 12 hour until deadline mark but sadly it’s not possible with our current technology. scientists are hard at work but for now this is one of the limitations we must face as a people
Almost completely true but we’re getting reports that scientists will soon be hard at work, but currently they have plany of time
not using AI genuinely feels like the rest of the world is experiencing some kind of mass amnesia. if someone says they never use it, the immediate response is that can't be true because "everyone" uses it to write their emails or answer their questions. saw a comment suggesting that not using chatgpt to write an essay is "like the 90s". girl I graduated in 2021 and we weren't doing that! how is it that everyone has suddenly forgotten that they were entirely capable of doing these things all by themselves for their entire lives up until the past few years!! am I going crazy!!!
ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds
I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study
after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines
et voila
and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)
and now, the birds
Birds 1 and 2/14: Red Winged Blackbird, Male and female, Agelaius phoeniceus
Bird 3/14, American Robin, Turdus migratorius
hoo boy, ok *out of breath*
GIVE IT UP FOR BIRD NUMBUH 5, THE CANADIAN GOOSE, Branta canadensis!!!!
this guy took me about 4 days to completely finish, all of those freakingk coverts were a bear to render
speaking of obnoxious coverts:
bird 5/14, Bluejay, Cyanocitta cristata
the friggin stripes almost got me chat, i may not make it
Madam....
birds 6 and 7: American Goldfinch, Spinus tristis, male and female
pleasantly simple to paint! next is the flickerrrrr
*melts into goo*
BIRD NUMBER 8, (yellow shafted) NORTHERN FLICKERRRRR, Colaptes auratus
genuinely made me start questioning my sanity around day 3, it's half the size the of the goose, WHY did it take me 4 days to finish??
nothing but pain and suffering, i'm sure hope the next bird will be much easier and with FAR less barring :)
in other news, I am losing my mind hairline
SHE'S DONE!!
Bird number 9: Red-tailed hawk, Buteo jamaicensis
my chains are broken i am FREE. although i did have a great deal of fun with this, the barring on the wings itself took me like four days and i am READY to move on
this was a week and a half of continuous work so please excuse me for getting a little emotional in the bg 🙏

Bison pronking is already so magical, and then the double rainbow and the happy birdsong just put it way over the top
passenger seat photo beaded curtain by noorann matties
[ID: beaded curtains. the beads are coloured and arranged so that the curtains resemble the view through the windscreen from the passenger seat. the contrast between the colours is high: the foreground, the inside of the car plus the trees outside, is largely black and dark teal, while the sky is largely pale blue, getting darker around the edges. the sun is low in the sky. /end ID]
