Bentley 8 Squad & Bella Goth as Taylor Swift Albums

I didn't put Taylor's self-titled album because she herself didn't include her songs from this album in The Eras Tour. I know, everyone will think that Angie is the only faithful swiftie. But I think almost of all her albums has resemblance to the Bentley 8 Squad, and Bella Goth as well.

Fearless (2008): similar to Johnny Smith, even though he has green skin, he has a strong confidence and doesn't care what others think about him.

Speak Now (2010): similar to Angela Pleasant. Angela is a swiftie from the beginning, and the butterfly + koi fish aesthetics in this album is very personal to her.

Red (2012): No need to explain. The entire RED album especially the color belongs to the Legendary Bella Goth.

1989 (2014): The blue aesthetics and the dreams of NYC belongs to Dirk, ofc.

Reputation (2017): The dark aesthetic and snakes. Need I say more? Couldn't be better for Lilith.

Lover (2019): Ripp is a romance sim who is proudly bisexual, and I believe "You Need to Calm Down" is his favorite LGBTQ+ Anthem.

Folklore/Evermore (2020): Puck is a fairy who loves nature, and he spends most of his time in the forest or woods.

Midnights (2022): I believe Dustin likes the lighter symbolism due to his bad boy nature, and "Vigilante Shit" is his favorite revenge anthem.

The Tortured Poets Department (2024): Ophelia is a poet who has anxiety and depression like the songs represented in this album. And the gray aesthetics belongs to her.

hello, mr. gaiman sir; i had a question about the good omens radio drama, which is really quite lovely! in episode two, shortly after crowley hits anathema with his car (or she hits the bentley with her bicycle), she remarks that his eyes are a funny color, and he response “so’s your hair”. if you had a hand in writing this line, what color did you intend for anathema’s hair to be? if you didn’t, what do you imagine it to be that would produce such a response? thank you!

That line is Dirk Maggs's, and you would need to ask him.

Hi, it's me, the author of the fucked everything au post, this one

I wanted to add some things, feel free to make your additions

-Sherlock is a firm believer in the Doctor, but he think Crowley is the Doctor, just disguised. He tried to nonchilantly pull his "red wig" from his head. (He has never run into the Doctor for some reason)

-Morpheus and Crowley talk shit about Lucifer when they're drunk.

-Watson and Wilson have a bet on whose partner will break the most law in a week. They're always very close wins.

-Dirk Gently and Aziraphale have become great friends, they take tea together every Thursday and they talk about all sort of stuff. Aziraphale finds Dirk captivating in his weirdness, he thinks he is a very interesting human.

-Scooby Doo is afraid of Dog (Adam's dog)

-Gregory House thinks paralibulites is made up, he steals a couple of Todd's pills to analyse them and see if they're like allucinogens but they're not. He forms an alliance with Sherlock to find out what the fuck is there in those pills.

-James Bond can imitate Benoit perfectly but Benoit can't imitate James, he can't get rid of the accent. Q finds James's impressions very amusing.

-Aziraphale and Philip talks about sweet recipes, they also exchange culinary creations, but, while Philip actually makes them, Aziraphale miracles them because he is shit at cooking. Philip always tells him that he is such a great baker and he feels like a beginner compared to him, Aziraphale smiles patting his arm and saying practice makes perfect. When Philip starts asking for details on how to make the perfect sponge cake or a mousse that won't melt, Aziraphale just miracles someone calling him because oh boy he doesn't know the first thing Philip is talking about.

-Both Sherlock and House tried to get Shaggy to sell them marijuana, unsuccessfully.

-Crowley loves to hear House going on and on about how God doesn't exist. It's hilarious for him. He has to physically stop himself from laughing. He pretends to agree with him.

-Dirk is the only one not fazed about Scooby Doo being a talking dog. When Crowley and Aziraphale are weirded out. They're trying to remember if it's one of their old miracles.

-Ascots were invented by Crowley, because they're simply an insult to style, and also he knew Aziraphale would have loved them. He is proud to see Benoit and Fred wearing them, they release a small but effective amount of evil into the world.

-I saw a post on Tumblr, I don't remember by who, that said if Benoit Blanc is with Hugh Grant it means at some point he had to choose between him and Colin Firth, you know, like in Bridget Jones Diary. This is now canon for me. Philip won Benoit Blanc's heart over Colin Firth and Philip hates talking about Colin, the idea that he could lose Benoit over him is just terrible to remember. Also Colin isn't really called Colin his name is Harry Bright. You were fools if you thought I'd leave Mamma Mia out of this.

-Dirk has heard Matthew the raven talk and Scooby Doo talk and now he is convinced he can talk to animals, that's a skill the universe granted him.

-Benoit Blanc and Aziraphale talk about fashion, obviously.

-If Q and Newton Pulsifer ever met all the computers in the world would explode.

-Also here's a small fic I read some time ago that I really love (and it's a House/Good Omens crossover) on how House and Wilson are alive and well in this au

-Dirk actually somewhat counts amongst the supernatural individuals so Crowley and Aziraphale and Dream and Hob started inviting him and Todd to their dinners. The point is Dirk and Todd haven't understood Ineffable Husbands and Dremling are supernatural individuals yet and they just think they're very eccentric folks.

-Dirk stole Crowley's Bentley once because The UniverseTM and Crowley has been trying to kill him ever since, but the Universe won't let Dirk die. This does not interfer with the Supernatural Dinners Aziraphale insists on hosting and the angel made him promise he won't try to kill Dirk at their house.

-He tries not show, but Sherlock is feeling the competitions with all of these other private detectives showing up. Especially Dirk, because he has no idea how they guy does since he looks like an idiot but he is always on top of the cases.

-Aziraphale unsuccessfully tries to buy the old medicine book Wilson gifted house for Christmas.

-Lestrade tried to stop the Scooby Doo Gang from interfering with a police case but ended up talking about cars with Fred and just...forgot he was supposed to stop these guys. He opted for closing an eye. It wasn't even his division, anyway.

-Q and Mycroft have been trying for years to obtain information on Hob Gadling, Aziraphale, Crowley and Morpheus at MI6 because, like, they're weird. They all come from families in which people always had roughly the same name for some reasons, their documents seem legit but there's something wrong about them. Also why is Crowley financing a witch hunting agency. Like yes he looks weird but not let's hunt witches in 2022 weird.

Dirk: "Your name is Sherlock? I have a friend named Sherlock!"

Sherlock: "It's not a very common name."

Dirk: "His name is Sherlock Hobbs."

Sherlock: "...Interesting."

Todd: "So you're like...you're Sherlock...and Watson."

Watson: "There are our names, yes."

Todd: "But, like, just like... Sherlock and Watson?"

Watson: "Yes. Again, these are our names."

-Benoit and Philip are very proud of Fred, they're only worried about his well being always travelling and having to deal with bad guys (especially Philip, he's scared for his son🥺), but luckily Q installed a tracking device in the Mystery Machine

-Sherlock is secretly fond of Steve McQueen the rat and will go to House's house (my God what did I write) just to pet it. House allows it.

-Sometimes Sherlock and House play together, violion and piano. They found out they have more in common than they'd like to admit and that they enjoy eachothers company, even if they'll never say it out loud.

-(btw I think it was @thesaltofcarthage to headcanon that House is Sherlock's biological father and yes it's far fetched but also I am not opposed to this at all, I like it a lot, I vibe with it so I leave this here and give her the due credits).

-The Them ask Morpheus if he is a new Horseman of the Apocalypse. Morpheus simply smiles at them and then tells Adam "My sister likes you" before going his way.

-Aziraphale dislikes Mycroft a lot because may I remind you Mark Gatiss played one of the two Nazis in the church who played Aziraphale for a fool with the book deal. The rest you know yada yada yada Crowley comes to the rescue.

-House often dreams of Fiddler's Green since he is played by Stephen Fry and he and Hugh Laurie are very close friends.

-I like to think Shaggy actually is an failed attempt at an Antichrist that didn't work out and yes he is...someway Lucifer's son. And kind of Adam's brother. But he doesn't know. Also Scooby Doo is an infernal hound like of course. And Shaggy wished for Scooby Doo to be his best friend and like food and be as scared as him of horror stuff so there you have it.

-Aziraphale knows Wilson. He knew John Keating, great professor, and he went to visit him at Welton Academy once. He remember Wilson when he was young, talentex actor, shame he went for medicine in the end, he could really have a future in the arts. Wilson tells himself his mind is playing tricks on him, the weird man he saw with Mr Keating once must be dead at this time.

Last thing I wanna add I didn't expect this whole everything-I've-ever-watched-au to resonate with people and I am happy you like it, I have fun writing but it's even better to share it with someone, please keep adding ideas and crossovers to this. All the comments and reblogs I had under my last posts were brilliant and all together we make a big brain of mind-blowing ideas.

Would you consider sharing the Crowley!Dirk/Aziraphale!Todd snippet? :)

Happy to help! :)

“Quite frankly,” Dirk says, adjusting his yellow jacket slightly. “I don’t see what you’re so upset about. You couldn’t give any less of a shit about cars.”

Todd continues to gaze at the back of the Bentley, despairing and despondent. “I care about being seen in this car.”

“Oh, buck up. She’s got character.”

“She’s also got a bumper sticker that says You Had Me at Merlot.”

“Oh, do you like it? I actually just put it on yesterday, it’s remarkable what you can find on the Internet.”

“You don’t even like wine, Dirk.”

“Well, I don’t see what that has to do with anything.”

“Someday you’re gonna put too many wine related bumper stickers on there and you’re gonna get pulled over for a breathalyzer.”

Dirk scoffs. “I would love to see them try.”

“Oh my god.”

The two of them turn to see a human of some sort, staring at the back of the Bentley in horror.

“Yes?” Dirk asks, extremely bright and cheerful which, as Todd knows well, is never a good sign.

“Did you.” The man looks close to an aneurysm. “Did you just… slather the back of a pristine first year Bentley in bumper stickers?”

“Fetching, aren’t they? I think they add a little character.”

“It’s a first year Bentley, it doesn’t need ch- do you even know what you have?”

“Not really. I picked it up at an estate sale a few years back, I couldn’t resist, I saw that bumper and just knew it needed a bumper sticker that says All This Mom Needs Is a Little Wine and Bon Jovi.”

Todd rolls his eyes. Dirk’s had this car practically since it left the factory floor. He’d insisted on taking Todd out for the first spin in it, at which point he’d gone so fast Todd had thought his spine was going to rip itself loose from his body and he was going to have to try and wrangle a new one. He’d started working out how he was going to explain himself as Dirk took a corner at breakneck speed, cackling.

“You just-“ The man points at Dirk. “You do not deserve to have that car. Somebody should take it from you.”

Todd is immediately rankled by the presence of the finger and takes a few steps forwards. “Hey, how about you mind your own business and fuck right off?”

The man takes a few steps forwards of his own. “Don’t tell me how to live my life, you-“

“Listen,” Dirk says, still smiling (again, a bad sign), lightly tugging on Todd’s arm until he’s the one closer to the man. “My friend may have been particularly prickly about it, but I think everybody’s best interests would be served by you listening to him.”

The man’s face transforms into terror and Todd rolls his eyes again. Dirk likes to do this thing when he wants to scare a human where he slowly burns his contacts away to reveal the snake eyes underneath and he doesn’t even have to look at him to know that’s what he’s doing now.

The man turns around and flees. Dirk calmly pulls a pair of white cat eye sunglasses out of his pocket, affixing them as he turns to Todd, beaming.

“Well!” He says brightly. “I think that went rather smashing, don’t you?”

“It’s not like it takes much work to scare a human, Dirk, they don’t even like it when the shadows get a little longer.”

“Of course they don’t.” Dirk leans in, teeth gleaming. “That’s where things like me live.”

Third time’s the charm, Todd thinks as he rolls his eyes. “Uh-huh.”

The grin gets a little goofier. “Thank you for defending my honor.”

“Shut up.” Todd approaches the passenger side of the car. “Are we taking your nightmare car or not? We’re gonna miss our reservation.”

“You know,” Dirk says, getting into the driver’s seat. “Somehow I think they’d let us in anyway.”

Crowley had made the acquaintance of Dirk Gently by running him over with the Bentley.

I’ll be the moon — Dirks Bentley ft Maren Morris

[speedwayy]

Dirk Bogarde and rockstars

This open-top Bentley turns up and there’s Elton [John] in a track suit and his terribly nice man-servant, chauffeur, whatever. We’re all sitting around, and my friend and I are fascinated by their talk about the Russian trip. So is Tony. After exactly an hour and twenty minutes Dirk gets up and starts whistling. You know that Elton’s time is up. Dirk and Tony had gone down to Monoprix and bought the cheapest bottle of champagne they could find - not that they didn’t have any in the house, but they weren’t going to open a bottle of decent brew. The rest of us have been drinking beers. Elton and his chap have got through half of the champagne when Dirk, whistling away, starts clearing the table.

He goes into the house, empties all the ashtrays, comes back out and says, “Well, I dare say you 11 be rushing off, keen to get back to have your lunch. I know we are. And it’s been lovely seeing you.” Poor Elton. He got halfway down the terrace and Dirk said, “Hang on, you’re forgetting something. I bought this specially for you.” And he made them take the other half of the bottle. Off they went with the cheap champagne nestling between Elton’s knees as the Bentley disappeared down the drive. And that was the last we saw of him.

- Mark Goodings quoted by John Coldstream, Dirk Bogarde: The Authorized Biography

[James Fox] made contact with Dirk, who invited him to the Connaught for a reception he was giving after the premiere of Accident. Fox said he had some friends with him: could they come too? “Oh God,” said Dirk, suddenly alarmed. So there amid the elegance and the formality were Fox and his girlfriend in fairly advanced hippie mode, with velvet trousers, cascading hair and wreathed in scarves, accompanied by Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull, slouching on the radiators and popping amyl-nitrate capsules. Dirk, immaculate in his suit and cut-away collar, went over to them and said if they wanted to do that kind of thing they should do it in the lavatories. As they left, he said to Fox: “Do get washed, have a hair-cut and choose new friends.” There was much giggling, from Jagger especially.

VW Group is concentrating on software that will be used next year in the Porsche electric-Macan and Audi Q6 e-tron. The next generation technology will come later, Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said. LONDON -- Volkswagen Group's Cariad plans to bring its delayed 2.0 software platform to market in 2027 or 2028 after the launches of key new electric models from Porsche and Audi. The original launch date for the sophisticated software platform, which will allow Level 4 autonomous driving, was 2025 but its development has been hit by delays and overspending at Cariad since the software unit was set up by former VW Group CEO Herbert Diess. VW Group will first concentrate on its Software 1.2 platform, which will be rolled out starting next year in premium all-electric models including the Porsche e-Macan and Audi Q6 e-tron, Chief Financial Officer Arno Antlitz said. "There will be great cars on that platform... that gives us a little flexibility to postpone 2.0 to 2027, 2028," Antlitz said at the Financial Times Future of the Car conference on Thursday. Intel unit Mobileye will supply its SuperVision "eyes on, hands off" semi-autonomous driving package to Porsche models using the Software 1.2 platform, Mobileye CEO Anmon Shashua told Automotive News Europe. The electric Macan and Q6 e-tron have been delayed because the 2.0 software they were originally supposed to use is not ready. Both models are crucial to position VW's premium brands at the forefront of EV technology. The problems have also pushed back VW brand's Trinity flagship EV toward the end of the decade. VW Group CEO Oliver Blume is shaking up Cariad. He has appointed Bentley production chief Peter Bosch to lead the software unit from June 1, replacing Dirk Hilgenberg, who will be given other tasks within VW Group. Two software experts will join Cariad's management board alongside Bosch. "This will be a very strong team that focuses on the turnaround of Cariad," Antlitz said. The aim was to rely more on outside partners and do less in-house to reduce cash burn as the carmaker attempts to build up its software expertise, he said. VW Group's ultimate goal is a unified software and electronics architecture for all group vehicles. It will rely on Qualcomm "system on a chip" semiconductors in Europe and North America, and in China will use super-chips developed with Chinese partner Horizon Robotics. SOURCE
