In order to impress his boss and keep his bookshop, Aziraphale sets out on a quest to bring back a fallen star. What he finds, instead, is Crowley. (And two Dukes of Hell with increasingly convoluted plans, a flying pirate ship captained by the Antichrist, abuse of footnotes, and a star that's maybe actually a demon, but really, who's counting?)

Hi! I'm a long time role player in the SU fandom! Been around since before Jailbreak, and have been roleplaying Peridot since her first appearance on the show!

I remade my blog after years of having it, as a bit of a refresh for me in the fandom! My new blog is currently still under construction, but I'm eager to start roleplaying with new people!

Rating: Teen and up

Pairing: Aziraphale/Crowley

Characters: Mainly Aziraphale and Crowley, but also appearances from Madame Tracy, Shadwell, Hastur, Anathema, Newton, Adam and Deidre Young, Beelzebub, the Archangels, and several original angelic characters. 

Tags: Canon divergence (so an AU, but the canon up to that point stays the same), Strong language and minor violence (all of it on the same level as what you see on the show), Angst, plenty of angst, but with a soft, happy ending (I promise)

Summary: What if Aziraphale hadn't been able to find a body after accidentally making an unplanned return to Heaven? And he wasn't able to let Crowley know what had happened to him? With Armageddon still looming, it will be up to Crowley to find the Antichrist on Earth while Aziraphale looks for a way to thwart the Apocalypse while still trapped in Heaven. God's plans may be ineffable, but they also seem to have more than one way to work themselves out in the end....

--------------------

I’d like to give a huge thank you again to both @aerodraws for her lovely art and patience in sticking with me even when it looked like I might not finish and to @diamondot for joining up with me so late in the project to help me finish my fic. 

I also want to thank the @goodomensbigbang Mods for being so understanding and giving me a chance to post later so I could finish. Thanks again.

GO Rom Com Spotlight: chewb

The lovely chewb (@probablypicturesofquilts on insta) has claimed Grosse Pointe Blank to adapt for Good Omens in the Good Omens Rom Com Event.

For reference, here’s a little background about the source material!

About Grosse Pointe Blank: After assassin Martin Blank (John Cusack) has trouble focusing on his work, resulting in a failed assignment, he returns to his hometown, Grosse Point, Mich., for his 10-year high school reunion. There he meets Debi Newberry (Minnie Driver), an old girlfriend that he stood up for the prom. Martin's secretary (Joan Cusack) sets up a hit for him while he is in town, but Martin starts to reconsider his life. Meanwhile, he is hounded by an unstable rival hit man, Grocer (Dan Aykroyd).

We spent some time chatting about how the adaptation is coming so far, as well as future plans for it! Now, get to know chewb a little better!

* * *

goromcom: You chose to adapt Grosse Pointe Blank as your rom com. Has this movie been a favorite of yours, or is there some other reason you chose it?

chewb: I've loved this movie for AGES, it's so silly and fun, and I love the anti-hero hero. Most of why I chose it, though, is because it maps to GO absurdly well. Like, maybe too well? That has me a little bit worried.

goromcom: I think a lot of people are feeling that about their rom com choices, so I’m sure it’s fine! Do you have a favorite moment of Grosse Pointe Blank, and are you looking forward to presenting it in your adaptation? Any loose plans for that scene that you can share?

chewb: I love this whole movie almost top to bottom, but I think my favorite thing is all the fast-paced dialog. So, John Cusack's character's retorts whenever anyone asks him what he does for a living, the scene with the Feds where the one explains to the other why they can't just kill the mark so they can kill John Cusack's character (Martin) already.

I just think it's all so smart and funny and rat-a-tat-tat. (Which, incidentally, is one of the things I'm most worried about with my adaptation!) The Feds are going to be Hastur and Ligur, so that should be fun.

goromcom: Other than turning the Dukes of Hell into Feds (ha!), do you plan to stick very closely to the story beats of the original story, or make bigger changes?

chewb: Yes, I'm going to stick pretty close to the beats of the original story. The biggest changes I'm trying to make are to give Aziraphale more of a journey; in the movie, Minnie Driver's character, Debi, doesn't have much of a journey. She's not a sexy lamp because she has hilarious dialogue, but she might be a sexy lamp with a witty post-it on. She doesn't really grow at all, she's kind of just along for the ride. I want to change that for Aziraphale.

I'm also changing the target of Martin's last-ever contract killing. In the movie (maybe tag for spoilers?) it's Debi's dad; in the fic, it will be Aziraphale's young nephew, Adam.

goromcom: Look out, Adam!

Other than what you’ve already shared, what's another interesting decision you've made in your planning so far--a notable casting decision, a changing of venue, or some other plan you have to paint Good Omens all over your rom com?

chewb: I'm a little sad I can't put it in Tadfield, but I chose to make the setting Torpoint, in Cornwall, pretty much exclusively because that makes a better title (Torpoint Blank).  My dear friend @diamondot is beta-ing for me, and she had the genius idea that the school Crowley and Aziraphale went to was a Catholic school run by the Chattering Order of St. Beryl, which isn't going to be a huge part of the story, but will definitely (hopefully!) color a lot of it. Stuff like why the teachers are all so chatty, maybe some slightly creepy Satanist undertones, etc.

goromcom: Well, I think that’s all we can expect you to divulge before you actually post the story! One more question about you to wrap things up.

I am blatantly stealing this last question from The Good Place: The Podcast, but here goes: Tell me something "good". It can be something big or small. It can be a charity you think is doing good work, or you can talk about how great your pet is.

chewb: Something good! Um all I *want* to tell you is how anxious I am about this project! But instead, I wanna tell you about RAICES, which provides free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant communities, and could use all the support any of us can offer! They're an amazing organization and I'm really really glad they exist.

goromcom: That is a great cause, and unfortunately, so needed right now. Let’s hope that someday soon they have a lot less work on their hands.

But also, don’t forget to watch for the GO adaptation of Grosse Pointe Blank, coming very soon!

Azon gondolkozok, hogy szerintem elkezdem ide feltölteni a Black Diamondot. (A BNHA fanficem)

Olvasnátok?

*beszél annak a nulla embernek aki követi*

[silly-jellyghoty]

@diamondot speaking for myself, i just decided to learn it one day a few years ago (i had a viking phase ok) and simply started with it. It's surprisingly easy since all the info is available on the net. Honestly, i don't remember where i started since it has been so long ago and now i just browse pinterest for patterns alone. Google tablet weaving or card weaving (same thing, different names) patterns and some basic explanations and yt vids for how to turn and weave the stuff. Things like

S and Z threading are there for a reason, so mind your card orientation. Start with some easy pattern like simple wave or diamonds above, 6 - 10 cards are good for your first project. Don't lose hope in initial stage. Streching and threading all that yarn can take anything between 20 minutes and 3 hours depending on how big is the pattern and how skilled you are. Since you need some lenghts to secure ends and to turn cards, use about 40 cm more than wished lenght of your final product. Secure lose ends after threading through cards so you won't end with a bundled mess. Streching/knotting them to something is one way. Taping each card threads together or using weights (check pictures below) is another way (good only for shorter stuff though). Cards could be made out of anything as long as they have smooth edges and rounded corners. Cardboard, thicker plastic sheet, literal cards cut into squares with holes punched through them, whatever. These are mine 2 decks, minus cards i am using atm.

When you start weaving and pattern looks like a total mess, try turning cards in opposite directions. It usualy solves the problem (all that forward/backward can be a bit tricky and mirroring motions/patterns/card orientation can be confusing at first seemingly messing all your work even though you are doing everything right technicaly, just in opposite order/direction). Don't lose your hope. I still manage to mess up like first 5cm of every other work i start. It's not an issue as that start usualy gets cut off anyway (the tension is not right for at least first 4 rows, aka 1 full card rotation, until all threads go up and down at least once no matter what you do. Don't sweat it). You don't need any fancy startup either. Historicaly, people used to weave like this and this and this:

I just strech the thing between 2 chairs myself. Door knobs work as well and so does staircase railing. Wherever you have some space. Long hair clips are your friend, especialy when you are done with weaving for the day and you don't want stuff to tangle

And that's about it. Have fun 😊

Just a short video of my card weaving in progress

Distortion - Új dal és videóklip a Babymetaltól

Distortion - Új dal és videóklip a Babymetaltól - http://metalindex.hu/2018/05/09/distortion-uj-dal-es-videoklip-a-babymetaltol/ -

Kevés megosztóbb jelenség van a mai színtéren a Babymetalnál, pedig hosszú a lista Dave Mustaine – eredetileg King Diamondot akartam írni, de őt minden normális ember szereti – énekhangjától Lars Ulrich dobolásáig. A magam részéről elzárkózom attól, hogy besoroljak velük kapcsolatban a szeretem vagy gyűlölöm szekértáborába. Egyfelől kultúrember ne boruljon térdre semmilyen termék előtt, másfelől bizonyos életkor fölött nem árt túllépni az ízlések és pofonok ellen folytatott kereszteshadjáratokon, bár annak is megvan a maga öröme, amikor csőlátással vádoljuk azokat, akik nem azt szeretik, amit mi. Így hát állásfoglalás és sommás ítéletek helyett legyen elég annyi, hogy kijött egy új dal, a Distortion, és készült hozzá egy klip. Ugyan manapság a világból ki lehet üldözni kockára vágott gitárkiállásokkal, meg gépies szőnyeglábdobbal, el kell ismerni, hogy minden tekintetben igényes, profi munka ez, zene és a vizuális megvalósítás terén egyaránt. Persze ugyanígy profi munka egy Toyota műszerfala is, de ne ízetlenkedjünk: egyfajta bűnös élvezetként még az amúgy kizárólag fénymásolt borítós demókat pártoló underground zajbarátok is meghallgathatják.

Great additions to my post, thank you @iplaywithstring and @ocean-again!!

Also @diamondot how could you hide that in the tags?

In addition, yesterday I learned that this thing is called toxic positivity and that's exactly it.

Also, can we please make ranting and venting about stuff normal?

I'm not a "negative person" and I don't give negativity "too much room" in my life.

Talking about it and telling ppl how upset I am is my way of dealing with it. I need to get it out of my system or it sticks with me.

And btw, Karen, it's not my problem if you take my problem and make it yours, or if you think me telling you about something upsetting for me means I now gave you my package. No. I put the package between us and you chose to pick it up. Not my fucking problem. And please don't tell me you don't want to hear my negativity. Please. I have to deal with your crude positivity on a daily basis, and that's no fun either. So just stfu.

Diamondot in her performing outfit doing different poses?

Doing these poses were REALLY fun.

Fun Fact: Diamondot is inspired by Veroskia Mayday.

And that officially wraps up the 2k requestathon! Sorry if I wasn't able to do yours. Some of them I wanted to do I just had no ideas. Others were just out of my ability due to me not having enough time. Any requests that were sent in after this one will most likely not to be done, apologies in advance.

You’ve failed me for the last time, Peridot

We literally don’t even know what YD’s frontal view looks like and I already love her
