Marvel directors: Even when actors like Chris Evans do their own stunts, we make sure they’re VERY wired in and rehearse a lot before filming. We also add dangerous weapons in in post so there’s no chance of danger, even with a prop. 🙂
Good Omens directors: We’re making David Tennant DRIVE A FLAMING CAR and IF HE DIES, HE DIES
OMG guys. I must have been going back and forth on the Good Omens episodes too much (a shock, I know) that Amazon Prime couldn’t take it anymore and had a glitch. Basically, the subtitles of episode 1 were slapped onto the visuals of episode 6. I was about to refresh until I realized that watching the episode this way brought some absolute gems:
(Snake sushi, I guess)
(asdhasjkldhkajsdhksjadh)
(I laughed so hard I nearly woke my mom on the second floor)
(Mood)
(…okay…?)
(That is what’s happening, yes)
(Yay demon bathing in holy water)
(accidental spoiler)
After I exited onto the main page and refreshed the problem went away. I just thought it was hilarious to the point I just watched the entire episode this way……
some time ago i read good omens and thought “great book, but what if crowley were gay, a great writer, and somewhat sexually involved with aziraphale?” and, me being me, i wrote a poem on this concept entitled “What If An Angel And A Demon Fell In Love? Wouldn’t That Be Nifty?” and today it won me a hundred fucking dollars in a poetry contest. so take that neil gaiman
Oh lover, you’re a triumph, an undone calamity As flagrantly forbidden as the fruit up Eden’s tree I’m coiled like a caliphate; your hand crawls up my thigh The only of the seven sins you never can deny
You’ll never say you love me, though; you can’t admit you care You won’t admit you love me like the drowning love the air You claim that I am nothing but the pride before the fall And maybe I have fallen, but I love you, after all
For I’m a devil; I can raise, then raze, than radiate I am a devil; I bleed black as ichor soaked in hate I am a devil; I deal in the secret side of pain Renunciation of salvation, dreamers down the drain.
And you’re an angel; you protect and guard all wondrous things You are an angel; you can rest the wide world on your wings You are an angel; you give the ineffable a voice You’re absolutes and absolution; I’m the thrill of choice.
Oh, lover, you are swords and crowns, crucifictitious tears, You’re covenants and convents and ecclesiastic years, Evangelist, avenger, Jonah in the wailing wall Pour plagues into the populace and kill the first sons, all
You want to say you love me like all demons love despair I want to say I love you like all angels love their prayer Oh lover, I’ll prostrate myself and never cut my hair, Oh lover, I have loved you since before the stars were there
You are an angel; you can lead the righteous in attack I am a devil; I can lead the wretched fighting back, I live to love you; it cleaves like a comet ’cross my soul You incarnation of creation I cannot control Though I cannot he holy, when I’m with you, I am whole.
Thank you to everyone that’s been patiently watching me work through this on Patreon. When I sketched this out some months ago, I had no idea how many things would happen in my life while making it- moving to a new house, my grandmother being put in the hospital, the headquarters of my workplace being hit with a massive tornado, and a whole ass convention in the middle of it.
Some months ago, I had a dream about a woman in a space suit and the space suit was full of stargazer lilies. The image stuck with me and I played around with the idea of it until I was ready to make it. It started this sort of narrative about a space druid, escaping from a crowded planet.
The lilies were a considerable challenge for this one- the petals are a generally flat object that bends and that kind of form can be difficult to portray in a 2D piece. But it came down to just working at it and working at it until the space made sense- even when the computer shuts down without warning.
The sound you just heard was ETD sitting up in bed not yet knowing what was wrong, but knowing something is wrong all the same as I cackle from the next room over.
