#omens rambling

[eroticomens]

i have this headcanon that wade is actually a really 'organized', cleanly person (when he's feeling okay). i imagine this is partly due to his time in the military, but more deeply ingrained by childhood trauma. little things he can't unlearn no matter how few fucks he gives-- he makes his bed every day. he washes the dishes before they pile up. he folds his clothes right out of the dryer. it's just second nature sure there are piles of shit everywhere, but nothing is gross or grimy. so what, the clothes never make it into the dresser or the same few dishes just end up back in the sink over and over again because he's too lazy to grab something different from the cupboard. out of sight, out of mind! (open storage is his friend.) he knows exactly what's in each pile and if you try to reorganize his chaos, he's gonna bite his own fuggin fingers off because now he cant find anything and nothing makes sense anymore when he's NOT feeling okay, the switch flips and the state he lives in becomes an actual health hazard. i feel like, left to his own devices, he ends up like this more often than not

New concept idea: blackout poetry of the bible but make it as gay as possible (and good omens themed of course)

GOOD OMENS DAY! SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE EARTH!

It just occurred to me that if they do start shooting in January, they'll be shooting all through the awards season. Meaning that if they attend any ceremonies there's a good chance we'll get a blond tuxedoed up Michael and a red haired celestial suited up David and I'm not ready for it.

the usage of different types of english in elden ring

most human/tarnished NPCs we meet, like rogier, ansbach, and nepheli, use late modern english:

"a sorcerer, as you might have guessed. i'm looking for a little something, here in the castle. when i'm not hotfooting it from the troops, that is." - rogier, first meeting "general radahn. a pleasure to see you, after all this time. but those remains do not belong to you." - ansbach, upon summon for PCR

but older demigods like messmer, ranni, and morgott use early modern english:

"thou'rt tarnished, it seemeth. mother, wouldst thou truly lordship sanction, in one so bereft of light? yet… my purpose standeth unchanged." - messmer, pre-battle cutscene "thou needst not indulge them unduly, but they too wish to appraise thy worth. it hath been a passing long time since a newcomer entered my service, after all." - ranni, after agreeing to serve her

then there are the younger demigods, like miquella, malenia, and potentially melina, who use a later variant of modern english, similar to the tarnished NPCs we speak to:

"if we honour our part of the vow, promise me you'll be my consort. i'll make the world a gentler place." - miquella, post-PCR cutscene "the scarlet bloom flowers once more. you will witness true horror. now, rot!" - malenia, phase 2 transition cutscene

finally, the hornsent NPCs like the hornsent, hornsent grandam, and the hornsent spirits such as the one outside the whipping hut, who use late middle english similar to the english found in shakespeare's sonnets:

"fie, another? ... then, as that woman would surely say, we are in our purposes well aligned. but understand. your kind are not forgiven. the erdtree is my people's enemy. by marika long betray'd, set aflame." - hornsent, first meeting "all your resentment lingers yet... the raw stuff from which i shall surely forge a curse. upon the dastard messmer's head. upon marika's children each and all." - scorched ruins hornsent spirit

i find it interesting how different the usage of english is in the game, and i feel that it can be a hint on how to properly date an individual's occupation in the lands between/land of shadow. the hornsent, being a people much older than many in the lands between, use the most archaic version of english, while the tarnished and younger demigods use a form of english more closely related to our own in the current period. older demigods (and marika herself, as heard from melina's recounts of marika's spoken echoes) use a form of english more closely related to the period of transition from middle english to early modern english.

additionally, another interesting thing to me: mohg is almost certainly nearly the same age as morgott (since they're referred to as twins), yet he speaks a little differently compared to morgott:

"tarnished, thou'rt but a fool." - morgott, post-battle dialogue "dearest miquella. you must abide alone a while." - mohg, pre-battle cutscene

this makes me wonder if it's possible that, assuming that miquella's verbiage is indicative of his younger age in comparison to the older demigods (aka the demigods born before the marika/radagon union), miquella's charm altered mohg's perception enough to also alter his manner of speaking and carrying himself in some way. if his pursuit of finery (dressing in embroidered robes and handling himself with poise, juxtaposing his bestial growls and strength) was mainly done in an effort to fit into miquella's ideal of a consort. of course, mohg could just be as vain as he seems to be all on his own accord, but i find that it's interesting to entertain the idea that even his current state of being was due to miquella's charm.

i'd love to hear what others think about this. i'm not very learned when it comes to english (it's not really my first language), but i find this all very cool to think about.

in the last 3 days I have watched all of good omens seasons 1 and 2

I don't know what I'm meant to do with myself

the kiss. the KISS. and Crowley's voice. and he PUTS HIS GLASSES BACK ON AFTER HAVING THEM OFF THE WHOLE CONFESSION. he was being VULNERABLE. the WHOLE SHOW he keeps them on. keeps himself guarded. and he lets down the defenses because if he doesn't he'll never get the chance to. and because he hopes his angel will listen. that he'll understand and trust

and Aziraphale doesn't bother to bring anything with him to heaven. not a single one of his prized books he's collected. because all on earth that he wants to bring along he can't

jesus christ. a major Gay Ppl Real moment tonight lads. they kissed. right on the mouth. in front of my very eyes. and I knew. I KNEW OKAY. I'd seen gif sets and screenshots and the like for a long while. ineffable husbands is a modern superwholock. you can't be in my spheres and not know who they are. I watched 2 seasons of the build up. the looks and the shielding each other with their wings and the desperation and the devotion. but then they did it. last several minutes of the season's finale and there it is. they really did it.

I need a spiritual scream. just a nice loud screech as loud as my theatre trained lungs can make. but that would be unfair to everyone else in this university housing so I canne

but. I am losing it. i am LOSING. IT. god their acting. the EXPRESSIONS. the HAND touching the LIPS because Crowley finally fucking kissed him after SIX THOUSAND BLOODY YEARS

I'm going to go insane. I have assignments. what am I meant to do in 30 hours? grab my professor by the shoulders? say "hey man, I know you told us we needed to bring these in today but I actually watched Good Omens over the weekend?" that he'll understand why I had to lay face down on the floor instead? that work and school are irrelevant when there's literally Media. Gay Ppl Real? Gay Ppl Real, Micheal?

[starboymp3]

anyways. thinking about the bentley doing literally anything aziraphale tells it.... not speeding, turning yellow, giving him sweets, playing whatever he wants..... you know that quote from howl's moving castle, “calcifer, you're being so obedient”..........

i imagine deadpool being genderfluid in the most nonchalant way possible. (using he/him in this post for quick readability)

to the point where he doesn't even really bother bringing it up, because it doesn't matter how anyone perceives his gender but himself-- or maybe that's just what he tells himself. if you perceive him as male, he's not going to argue with you on that because it just doesn't matter.

gender feels like something that should be played and experimented with. everyone just assumes 'oh that's just deadpool being deadpool, wild lil shit,' when he puts on a dress or heels, but wade's just following his heart. maybe the fact that nobody takes him seriously reinforces the idea that it's just not worth the time or effort? but then i imagine someone with mind, emotion or aura reading capabilities for example, calling him the pronouns he's actually vibing with in that particular moment without him even bringing it up, and they're clearly not joking or trying to poke fun at him like everyone normally does. and the euphoria, the validation is just so real that he cries big ugly tears and will NOT stop hugging, and everyone's like "why is deadpool crying because charles referred to him 'she' wtf"

i will never get over how pained aziraphale looks during the kiss.

i will never get over how pained he looks because you just know that this isn't how aziraphale wanted it to go. this isn't how he had been planning it to go.

you just know he wanted it to be tender or even passionate but loving, and instead it was a goodbye. crowley’s final farewell.

i will never get over how pained aziraphale looks during the kiss.

I dont know what's going on but im happy to be a part of it

[minty-and-fresh]

Watching Beezlebub give such an amazing offer to Crowley if he were to hand Gabriel’s location over to them hits COMPLETELY different upon rewatch.

They’re like “I will let you back to Hell, promote you, give you a raise, if you get me the Archangel Gabriel.” and then the finale comes and we get hit with this:

“Well wherever he is, you find Gabriel for me, and you can have whatever your nasty little heart desires! You could be a Duke of Hell!”

Quite romantic now isn’t it?

“You hear anything about this, you come to me first yeah?” Is them being protective asf over Gabriel and worried about where he is and what will happen if Heaven gets to him first.

[viperinz]

i absolutely adore how nothing has changed in the way aziraphale looks at crowley like he's been smitten since day one

they're actually the first love story of the good omens universe (real) (not fake)
