Ch 5: Binary

(GOAD Writer's Guild Official)

CW: Rated Explicit (eventual smut; see tags on AO3)

Summary

An angel and a demon walk into a private room at an inn, for more of that closeness they crave. They are safe from Heavenly and Hellish intruders…right?

This chapter is sweet, things are heating up, and wait, is that some plot simmering beneath the surface? As usual the boys can't help but think in science- because I'm the one writing them.

Excerpt

While Aziraphale worked on undoing the tailcoat's large buttons fastened on the right side, he began to talk — a light, running patter, as much to calm and distract himself from the dull murmur of inner turmoil fighting to break free again, as to tease Crowley.

“You know, Crowley, this clothing of yours excels at being inscrutable. So many overlapping portions or at least the illusion of such. Even the human body is easier to figure out.  All the muscles are completely hidden by skin, but even then I can find where a muscle begins and ends. For example, when I kissed down your neck and up the other side…”

Crowley nodded and let out a long hum of pleasure at the recent memory.

I was tracing the path of one of my favourite muscles, especially on you.

Pssst, it's the neck chapter, folks, featuring my favorite (and Aziraphale's favourite) muscle. Calling all members of the Neck Club of GOAD!

I present, in its entirety, the Buggre Alle This Bible from Good Omens (book). Initially the bit about a scribe who is just so done with his job. And then I kept going, all quotes from the book on each canvas. There are Easter eggs aplenty in each canvas. Paint, alcohol and water-based markers, rhinestones, feathers, and other schmutz. I also aged a craft store trunk for it to live in.

stupid temptation to make a second account in order to have a gimmick blog that turns tumblr posts into amino acid chains and then tells you if it is a functional protein or not

Did I just design a Cardinal Richelieu Theme Bike jersey and going to get it printed?! Abso-fucking-lutely!

Researching lunar calendar for fanfic purposes, and to make it match the timeframe of TDP, I searched for 2019-2021. Obviously, the lunar cycles don't quite match up (Callum's 17th birthday wouldn't have fallen on a full moon, but creative liberties), so the closest one would be on July 23, aka the "Full Buck / Thunder Moon"

And WHOA is that LOADED. Buck as in deer, deer as in the Rayla/Claudia foils (Claudia killed a deer, Rayla spared one but she was asked to kill people and repeatedly refuses to do it...). Thunder as in Storm Dragons, Thunderfall, Avizandum, and Callum's Sky Magehood. Thought it interesting and wanted to share!

I am watching Netflix's Pluto. I'll make a formal post later, there is too much to say, so I'll just do some nerd gushing for a moment.

I am watching Dr. Eggman and Goliath have a conversation.

The On Top Of Old Smokey song is a waltz.

It's in 3/4 time; ergo, a waltz.

I was delighted when I realized this today.

DND PEOPLES

This is a Google sheets based DND character sheet. I found it a couple of months ago and whenever I was bored in school I would just make character sheets and then add features that seemed helpful.

Its very useful for making relatively simple homebrew Races, Classes, Weapons, and Other Misc equipment

I am very proud of what I added, especially the spell list and other QOL shtuff, so pls use!!! I will be very happy

[bee--eater]

i’m not gonna be watching the next genloss live cause i’m going to dnd

but like what if i skip dnd to watch it

[lunnule]

today, after years and years of watching D&D and years of wanting to play it myself, I have finally managed to wriggle my way into a campaign! it was amazing, i love it i love it i love it. i played a sort of officer/hr person (we were playing the alien system so the clsses are still unfamiliar to me) and i killed the baddie by showing empathy and giving a speech about how it's hard to let love go and the other players were so nice and welcoming and nobody made fun of me for watching hours of other people playing RPGs and instead gave me recommendations for more RPG podcasts and what a great night

[laudaddysmitten]

Funny coincidence, yesterday I had the thought that since I'm a big Geology nerd (I know, what kind of science do I NOT like? The answer is I haven't found one yet.) that I could incorporate some into a Good Omens fic in the future. A human AU is simple of course, just include Newt as a geologist, make his expertise part of the plot.

Or, now here me out...

While helping to form the earth, an angelic being lost his wallet with a note of personal instructions from God herself in it (Or the flaming sword? A magic amulet?), and now his demon partner has to help him pore over his journals and geologic maps to try to find it before something terrible happens.

("Please. Tell me about the 'something terrible'!?")

Imagine searching for your keys- tossing aside blankets and books, looking in couch cushions ... but all that is made out of giant segments of rock, some of which got folded under others, stretched into wonky shapes, moved to a different continent, or buried at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Aziraphale better hope his important item hasn't already been subducted into the Earth's mantle and melted down into magma!

i think we should all consider getting emotional over this xkcd. as a group. let's get emotional about it

thing im laughing an unreasonable amount at today:

(prepare for me being an absolute nerd for bit)

The Scunthorpe problem/ the 'clbuttic' mistake

Both things that have to deal with auto censoring and properly coding them.

The scunthorpe problem - named after a town called scunthorpe that was having trouble with profanity filters due to it containing the word "cunt". some filters arent programmed properly for this kind of thing and will either censor or outright replace offensive terms with a different one.

Which brings us to the hilarious world of 'clbuttics'. when offensive material is found, some programs dont check for context, (such as the surrounding characters to make sure its not in the middle of a word) and will accidentally change other words (sometimes in hilarious ways)

thats where the name clbuttic comes from, as its what happens when a filter set to change all instances of 'ass' to 'butt' without checking for context and mistakenly catching the word cl(ass)ic to cl(butt)ic

More funny examples include (ass)ignment to (butt)ignment, (ass)(ass)inate to (butt)(butt)inate and sometimes even just words changed for localization reasons, such as occu(pants) to occu(trousers)

It's not actually that hard avoid this kind of thing most times.

it really is easy and if i got a refresher on coding i'd be able to do it but uhhh its been a few months and i dont remember a ton tbh ._.
