New update 27/09/24

The Captain of the Guard is playable!!! WOOOH! It was a big work, and currently only a very linear path is playable with the captain through Chapter 1, but I will add the rest of the choices later.

GOOD NEWS: It's the path that will definitely redeem poor Captain {instert-clever-insult} in the eyes of those who read the thief origin ❤️ So please give the captain a chance to do some good deeds to our resident little thief ✨✨✨

What the update includes:

Captain of the Theban Guard origin is playable! Lots of choices are still greyed out, but you can read through chapter 1 as the captain now.

16k words added to the demo, so that makes the total word count 185k.

I made a map! Well... I translated a map from my native language that I made ages ago for a similar book. It took me forever last week to find the English names for certain cities, and I'm not sure if some of them are correct or not but fuck it, it's good as it is. You can find the map in the Codex page in the Stats!

Did lots of bug and code fixes

Fixed some grammar and spelling errors

Next week, I'll add the missing choices in the captain route. Not sure if I'll have time to add all of them by the Friday update, but I'll try :)))

LINK TO DEMO

Hope you'll enjoy it! I'm especially interested to hear the opinion of those who've read the thief origin before 👀

Hello, my dears! Just checking in and letting you know where things are at.

1. Chapter 4 has been edited! Only, now I've decided to add just a little bit extra to it. There's a final choice at the end, and depending on what you pick, chapter 4 may continue (basically, you stay in the forest a longer). The other choice takes you out of the area and towards the city (to chapter 5 when it comes about). Each choice has its own benefits and consequences, too.

2. I promise to get to asks soon. I've had little energy or motivation for them lately. But no worries, I'm good. I've been in the story zone, and it's warm in here, and I don't want to come out just yet, lol.

3. I've also been in the map zone! Inkarnate, my source for all things map, has a 10 day free trial of Pro going this summer (no credit card needed!). I've taken the chance to make a couple of new things and remake the little map for the chapter 3 camp (see below). There's so many goodies to play with. It's great fun, and I highly recommend trying it!

4. I have been so absorbed in chapter 4, that I have not done the last 2 bonus scenes for chapter 3 yet. I have gotten them planned though! Once I'm happy with 4, it's next on the list.

Take care, everyone! ^_^

Sirius could watch a sleeping Remus all night long. Forever even. Evading sleep himself in favour of indulging in something only he had the privilege of.

Tracing his fingertips along the scars on Remus’ face, turning silver from the light of the crescent moon that shone through the gap in the velvet draperies hanging around their bed. Watching as his brow furrowed and then relaxed from the touch of Sirius’ fingers. Listening to the rise and fall of his chest, and the quiet thumping of his heart through his shirt.

“Mmm,” he hears from Remus, eyes still closed. “What are you looking at?”

“You,” says Sirius, placing his chin on the other boy’s chest, watching him. “Just you.”

Remus cracks an eye open, “like what you see?”

“You are a treasure to behold, Remus John Lupin.”

Map Of Whickber Street (Good Omens Soho around the bookshop)

I had a lot of fun watching the entire series again and working out where all the shops were in relation to one another. Some of these are mentioned in canon, some are just shown. I've taken some liberties with scale and the like. It wasn't clear which of these streets is Whickber Street, but I suppose there must be some mystery left in the world.

I'm adding some photo references and some more information about the various shops below the cut. If you can make out any more names, I'd love to know.

It's possible the deli is also part of Francesco's as they're both Italian, but there is a front door by the awning that could lead to the restaurant (not an unusual set up for Soho). Francesco's awning is the victim of Crowley's rainstorm.

Between Francesco's and Give Me Coffee is a shop selling formal menswear that I couldn't make out the name of.

Next to that is the coffee shop, Arnold's (the musical instruments shop), Marguerite's (the French restaurant), and newsagency (the news agents). We get a lovely shot of them from the upstairs of the bookshop (newsagents just barely visible).

Opposite them, we obviously have the bookshop itself and down from that, the record shop (which is called The Small Back Room, presumably in reference to having started at the back of Aziraphale's bookshop). The record shop is the orange shop you can see below. (There's also a clearer view of the newsagents).

The shop one down from the record shop is currently a question mark, but it does have a very bold colour scheme, and at one point we are a candelabra and a piece of fabric in the window display. I can't make out the name of this one either.

Opposite the bookshop we have the pub, the Dirty Donkey, whose front door is also the lift to heaven when summoned. Next to the pub is the doorway that leads you to the brothel (I picked the colour on the map from the new model friendly hands sign on the door), and next to that is Will Goldstone's Magic Shop. The magic shop, bookshop and the pub can also be seen in 1941 London flashbacks. Opposite the magic shop and next to the bookshop is another unknown shop. My gut says it sells lighting or maybe more general electrics, but I couldn't get a good enough shot to really see it.

At the end of this street we can see the Lucky Snake which I believe is a Chinese Restaurant, and just to the left we can glimpse a yellow shop, that I suspect is the herbalist that we see mentioned on Aziraphale's list of local businesses. Soho and Chinatown are geographical neighbours, and it's not uncommon to see Chinese herbalist or health shops in Soho. The red lanterns from the Lucky Snake continue down over the yellow shop, which is what gave me the impression it might be the herbalist.

Directly across the crossroads from the bookshop we have a fruit and vegetable market, that has a flower stand on the corner. That's where the tomatoes roll from when Gabe is walking through naked. (The veggies are obscured in the shot below, but we do see them in general)

If we follow the road between the flower market and the newsagents, I've extrapolated that the stage entrance to The Windmill (the theatre that we see in 1941) is there. We get a moderately clear view of it during the flashback, and the Windmill is a real place (to my knowledge it's somewhere between a burlesque club and a strip club these days), so I figured it would still be standing here too. We get the briefest of glimpses of the stage door still standing in modern London.

If you care for real world geography, then The Windmill's main entrance is on Great Windmill Street, right off Shaftesbury Avenue, on the corner of Archer Street.

I could not for the life of me find Brown's World of Carpets anywhere. Maybe he's not even actually a local business. He seems the type to fake it.

Here's a view of the area from heaven.

You guys! So I was making my fantasy map for my story about lesbian selkies and pirates and I wanted to find a brush for the topography (mountains, trees, etc) and I found this incredible FREE site where you are able to choose from a ton of map brushes that were vectorized from actual maps old maps!!

These are just tiny samples but there are SO many options to choose from. And again. It’s free!

[sexhaver]

why are you interpreting all this robot stuff so literally. just so you can be smug? it’s a sci-fi fantasy, obviously people aren’t talking about actual literal beliefs or hopes. are you going to go up to the werewolf fuckers like “umm actually that’s not how canids mate 🤓”

for the last fucking time, the reason im talking about this "literally" and "like it's real life" is because unlike werewolf-fucking, robot-fucking will be possible in real life one day in the future. i am discussing how things would happen in that future and comparing/contrasting them with the current fantasies people have to see how well those fantasies would actually map onto this future (which, to be clear, will exist one day). if you cannot grasp this concept then just giggle to yourself and move on instead of sending an anon or leaving a reply completely missing the point and accusing me of shit i never said

Geospatial model of the Roman World.

Want to know how long it would take to get from what is now Yorkshire to Rome in the first century? And the best route? And the expense?

If you are a historical novelist and you haven’t encountered this interactive site, you need to. It’s centered on the Roman Empire, but with care this info will translate to other eras.
