Good Omens × World War I AU (because I needed it, once more)

Shamelessly inspired by Downton Abbey season 2: the scene where Mary sent Matthew off war~

This time, it's before Crowley leaves for war. At Bexhill West station (which is now closed if you ever want to visit it), East Sussex, someone is waiting for him✨

notes: That's Aziraphale's real pocket watch fob medal~

Bonus: close-ups✨

I found this comic in my computer files, I never finished it though, this is supposed to be how Soundwave found Rumble and Frenzy.

For the @codywanfirstkissbingo, I had "butterfly kiss" on my card.

I wanted to do a close up of lashes brushing against cheek but it was a nightmare and it ate all my remaining time until the deadline.

I turned it on its head later on by... putting in butterflies 😆

A great deal of thanks, again, to the mods of the bingo: @lttrsfrmlnrrgby @dontbelasagnax and @notthestarwar.

And @thesunlikehoney who asked after that particular WIP. (So many left... T_T)

i think it's very funny that i've seen people headcanon wind to speak spanish or for his hylian to be similar to spanish cause like

i'm chilean, and our spanish is recognized by other spanish speakers as being the worst spanish since we speak with weird unique slang and we have a sing-song accent

like, there's a reason why there's so many memes of our spanish sucking ass lmao

anyway, this is a very convoluted and stupid way for me to say that wind is chilean now, i'm claiming him

someone in the chain mentions they know spanish too and wind replies with a heavy chilean accent and slang and everyone's like "what the fuck was that"

Odysseus Everywhere! (literally! XD) - A small humorous analysis on how Odysseus basically is the protagonist of the entire Epic Cycle

Don't you love it how Odysseus basically lifts on his shoulders the entire Epic Cycle? And I am not even exaggerating! XD

He is the one who came up with the Oath of Tyndareus (literally gave the tools for the start of war without wanting to.

He was responsible to fetch Achilles from Skyros and the one to uncover his disguise.

By etruscan accounts he was the one to lead Iphigenia to the altar for the sacrifice

By some accounts he was the first to lay foot at the beach of Troy (basically again starting the war XD) and dodged the prophecy that the first who lay foot to Troy would die first by throwing his shield on the beach and step on it so Protesilaus (former Iolaus) thought he would die and jumped second, thus becoming the first to actually lay foot on Trojan ground!

He is the one to accompany Menelaus during the negotiations with the elders of Troy trying to get Helen back without war.

He is the one to lead Chriseis back to her father and perform a sacrifice to appease Apollo with him.

He tries to keep the Achaeans in line (well...he also beats up Thersites that no one likes!)

He is part of the embassy that goes to Achilles to beg him to come back and try to negotiate with him

He is present to most battles during the Iliad actively taking part on the field

He and Diomedes are sent as spies to the Trojan side in the night

He is one of the volunteers that are to be chosen to fight Hector

He is the one to take Achilles to Lemnos and Cleanse him for the murder of Thersites when the latter makes fun of Achilles's mourning over dead Penthiselia, noting his crush on her.

On later, post-homeric and roman accounts he is the one to come and go with Philoctetes

He is the one along with Aias to retrieve and protect the body of Achilles

He wins the armor of Achilles and by some greek play writers negotiates the burial of Aias after his suicide.

He and Diomedes bring Philoctetes from Lemnos

He captures Helenus and abstracts the prophecies from them

He brings Neoptolemous from Skyros and gives him his father's armor

He and Diomedes infiltrate the city dressed as beggars and steal the Palladum of Athena

He comes up with the Trojan Horse and with the help of Athena's Epeius makes it

He is of course one of the first choices to be inside the horse

He stops the greeks from blowing their cover by holding their mouths.

He is the first to step out of the horse and scan the perimeter

He is either present or personally responsible for the death of Astyanax/Scamandrius depending on the source

He is the one to bring Polyxena to the tomb of Achilles to be offered to him as his concubine after death

He is the protagonist of the longest and only surviving of the Nostoi, the Odyssey in which he is the sole survivor after a huge arduous trip which includes the blinding of a cyclops, the meeting and facing of two goddesses, a trip to the underworld and many more including being one of the few male SA victims so clearly depicted in ancient literature

Odysseus being one of the few mortals (and probably the only one who is not a demigod directly) to get to hedes while being alive

He kills the suitors that threatened his wife and son with the help of his son and a few loyal servants.

He once more travels according to the prophecy to the mainland Greece to appease Poseidon and creates a temple in his honor.

Like without the slightest trace of exaggeration, Odysseus carries on his back the entire Epic Cycle! He is both the creator of the war indirectly plus the first one to lay foot in the land of Troy, the first to lay foot inside Troy itself not once but TWICE during the raging war and he is the last of the kings to arrive home! Without an exaggeration he starts and finishes the epic cycle if combined with all the sources from around the myths! He is also the character mostly involved in the things no one else would dare to!

He dares to be the first to lay foot on Troy

He is the one usually sent to do what others don't want to such as leading people to sacrifices or the opposite, purifying people (because no one gets their hands fucking dirty but poor Odysseus! Hahaha!)

He personally excecutes his own plans

He is the one to dare and come out first of the horse and the one to hold the others

He is the one sent to be a diplomat

etc.

Dunno about you guys but I think the true length of his contributions and involvement to the events is not talked nearly enough!

dc is missing out on so much comedic potential by not giving Tim one of his parents back and my personal pick is Dana because she is simply the best parent he's ever had

and then you can have stuff like

Tim crawling in through the living room window:You are not gonna believe what Bruce just did I mean seriously Dana this is low even for him

Dana: Is he being violent again? also i got you snacks they're on the counter

Tim: HE'S BEING VIOLENT AGAIN thanks for the snacks and do you know what he said???

Dana:What'd he say Tim?

Tim:He said he would arrest me if i tried to stop him

Dana:No

Tim:yes and then that bitch-

Dana:No cursing Tim

Tim:sorry Dana anyway-

(basically they should force Bruce to co-parent cause god knows he can't do it himself)

• Such Good Luck •

After a little delay, due to a misadventure that happened to me this weekend: after a terrible morning blackout (more than one, actually) my monitor passed away😭 I tried everything, from contacting support to replacing parts. No way.

It was also quite new and, in the end, I had to replace it. BUT since things never work easily for me, my first alternative didn't fit with my current pc so I had to come back to the shop and take another one. NOW, it's finally working✨

So, to celebrate, I worked all afternoon to deliver it to you all tonight! The (angst) show must go on!!

ps. Special thanks to all my supporters, especially those who contact me on IG to send me some love, kind words AND SO MANY ADORABLE CATS PICS😭🩷😺

Well, I think it's time for a good cup of vanilla tea! See you soon with the next artwork~~

The elder men spoke low. They took a vote and said no. They turned around real slow. Where did they go? Where did they go? And the question oh, the question: can the kid keep his eyes, if the fire doesn't die? They said no.

i haint watched the dang chibisode and idk if ill actually watch it with sound on sdfjk but i have a hurt feeling about them casually imbuing perry with speech for a one off gag because the idea that he needs to talk to communicate is fake. we had 4 seasons of wacky magic hijinks cartoon where perry never needed verbal speech to communicate. they couldve done this gag at any point in the show but they didn't, and the fact that they didn't felt significant. perry's muteness is such a core part of his character, to me, to the way i conceive of him/write him. i don't wanna overreact to a goofy little side cartoon (even tho i'm doing it anyway) but it's still the characters, and it still upsets me! ok that's it i've said my piece

[intuitive-revelations]

Following on from some of my previous thoughts, I just discovered Sutekh having been hiding in the 'Howling Void' might actually be directly following his fate in the Tenth Doctor Titan Comics storyline?

"You were the last thing I saw as I left this universe. It is always good to have an escape hatch. As my son Anubis knows, as all Osirans know. As all Gods and Devils know. Even if that exit is a sideways step to some limbo realm, an Eternals' Void."

"Some there wait for eternity to pass. Others do not. The Dragon came and went, whispering platitudes and the possibility of making bargains... Others came and went, each of them curious... Each of them calling themselves deities of chaos and destruction, disgruntled by their banishment to this Void... There are a myriad of them in there. They scratched and mewled like kittens at my door... Each of them suggesting a pack, an agreement... Because they know that I am native to the universe to which I now return, and they are not. I am of nature, not from outside of it. Nature created me. She is my power. I've waited so long to share the gifts she endowed me with."

I think I might need to read through this arc. Not only does it start and leave with Sutekh in the Void, but it also ties in wonderfully well with the Pantheon, with other gods communing with him.

The stuff about Sutekh being unique because he isn't a Great Old One (ie. came from within our universe, rather than without) is also interesting in light of some of the weirdness of his depiction as 'the oldest one', since it clashes with that. It does tie in wonderfully well with the surrounding mythology of where the whoniverse's "gods" came from.

(Also hey look, speaking of which: a God of Ragnarok.)
