Aight, look, Good Omens 2 empirically does not need to happen. The book was a complete narrative that concluded satisfyingly, was adapted quite well, one of the co-authors has passed away, the story is over. It is inherently superfluous.

BUT. I am so very deeply exited for Neil Gaiman and John Finnemore's high concept Terry Pratchett tribute fanfiction featuring wacky mysteries, hopefully even more Best of Queen, and gothgirl David Tennant. That sounds rad to me.

The streets are saying Aaron Taylor-Johnson got James Bond yall. And that gets a resounding "meh" from me.

in hindsight it is amazing that I managed to get two literature degrees because I am terrible at remembering any details of any book I read

I feel like tags like these were inevitable on the post about people traumatising themselves for the greater good or w/e... There is SO much emphasis on posting on tumblr and other social media being so important and so useful and we must never stop. But I would like to counterargue with the idea that posting on social media (especially tumblr) constantly does very little/nothing. If that was true then the point here becomes meaningless.

It's actually insane how much Twilight was the blueprint for my fixation on Jon. Tired stressed out academic who I want to ship w/ everyone (except their canon love interest) and who I needed to see suffering and struggling and who I was literally constantly biased for regardless of circumstances. They are truly the Characters of all time to me.

if anyone was thinking about making every single parental control attachment for wifi networks explode into dust now would be a great time to do that

oh you thought that char's love language was gift giving because she's always giving people lovely and/or useful items like a secondhand copy of a book she thinks you'll enjoy or some of her favourite lemon candy or a letter she spent extra time on to make sure she included every happy thing she wants to tell you or the tools she thinks you'll need for whatever task you have ahead of you?

well it's not. her love language is actually acts of service because these objects are not substitutes for her care or affection or concern. they are only the means for char to render tangible, that is, physical, and lasting her presence and self in the minds of others. literally something to remember her by and by actually do you more harm than good. but with her acts of service, there is no substitute, no stand in. she herself must be present and she does come to / show up for those she gives a honest shit about. the difference between her usual showing up (uninvited, unpredictably, unknowingly) and showing up for is that those in the latter category can count on her being there, when to the rest of the world, she is not there.

it is her standing by your side, insistent on being present and real for you so that you do not have to be alone. it is her not just lending a hand but giving you her hands, her eyes, her tongue, her legs, her whole self because there is no substituting the vessel itself. it's her stepping up and doing what you specifically asked of her, even if it goes against her nature, simply because it was you who asked it. it is her doing what is hard and scary and irreversible and ugly so that you can have it a little easier.
