Midnight Pals: Omens

Arkasha Stevenson: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the first omen Stevenson: it's about a plot to breed the antichrist King: wait this sounds familiar Stevenson: yeah it's based on The Omen King: no that's not it

King: wait! i've got it! King: this is totally ripping off Good Omens! King: it's the same set up! Lovecraft: you're right! even the name is similar! Barker: wow, i hope someone gets fired for THAT blunder

King: neil! Neil! did you know that the omen is ripping off your book? Neil Gaiman: steve, good omens is a parody of the omen King: King: what Gaiman: i mean, even the name is similar Gaiman: that should have been a clue

Gaiman: you must understand, steve, that once the omen was the biggest thing in horror Gaiman: we believed its grip on man's imagination would last the ages! But alas... it is forgotten! Gaiman: forgotten like the fading filaments of a dream in the morning light! King: oh ok

Gaiman: now, like the great ozymandias,king of kings, memory of the omen has scattered to the howling winds of the glittering desert of oblivion Gaiman: and like prometheus the titan of old my torment knows no bounds Koontz: neil! did you know the first omen ripped off your book?

Gaiman: no young dean for you see the omen actually predates good omens Koontz: huh? but it just came out! Gaiman: no see the original omen came our before the good omens book Koontz: original omen? book? Koontz: i don't understand

Mary Shelley: sup fuckers Shelley: so neil i hear they ripped off your book Gaiman: no i Shelley: i'd be real pissed if someone ripped off my book Gaiman: they didn't Shelley: i'd give em one of these [pantomimes shivving]

Gaiman: please! no one ripped off good omens Barker: oh they definitely ripped off good omens Poe: seems pretty obvious, yeah Gaiman: edgar! he's just stirring up shit! Gaiman: you know that! Gaiman: why are you believing him now? Poe: no he's right, it's an open and shut case

Neil Gaiman: it's not a rip off! good omens was literally an omen parody! Gaiman: if you won't believe me, ask terry! Terry Pratchett: hey is anyone hungry? i could really go for some soup right now

Hi mr. Flanagan. Speaking of sequels, have you seen The First Omen, and if so, what did you think?

I absolutely loved it. One of the best movies of the year. Arkasha Stevenson is the real deal.

If you want to know what I think when it comes to moves and TV, I recommend checking out my Letterboxd account:

Gay people just want female directed Catholic centered horror films that allude to the dire need for a deep self awareness on the ethics of consent and the vitriolic control the church and government ravenously desire over female bodily autonomy. A film that exists as a traumatic reminder of how obliviously were willing to abide and turn a blind eye in belief that it’s not going to impact us in any way. The damage we force women to carry after the intensity of pregnancy. The damage we force women to constantly feed themselves as they fall victim to simply existing in a world where their body can be anything but their own. A weapon. A temptation. A vessel. Film, if paid attention to, or any form of media that’s been created with a purpose and a succinct point of view and passion, can then exist as a rebellion of sorts. A reminder that just when they think we’ve given up, or haven’t paid attention, we chose to create and listen and understand one another to reiterate the fact that we will never fucking give in.
