Can we talk about the brilliant choice to stop all music when crowley starts confessing?? It’s just the ticking clock and tennant’s raw, incredible acting. What. A. Scene.

No because Jaime Lannister saw Brienne of Tarth naked the one time in Harranhal and memorized her curves and edges close enough to perfectly replicate her measurements to create her the perfect fitting suit of armor and like. In Harranhal, at his lowest point, he took her image in, in all its glory, and he breathed her in like a fish gasping for breath. And he probably thought about it all the way to Kings Landing. And once he knew her measurements, having created the armor for her, he probably repeated them in his head like a mantra, whenever he was afraid and tired, he repeated those numbers like a mantra until he was finally able to see her again.

Please tell me that a season 3 of Good Omens is confirmed. I beg of you Mr. Gaiman.

It won't be confirmed unless enough people watch Season 2 to make Amazon happy. And it's strike season, which makes everything harder.

But obviously Season 3 is all planned and plotted and, if I get to make it, will take the story and the people in it we care about to a satisfying end. If I wasn't on strike I'd be writing it currently. Our set is still standing in a studio in Bathgate and we would all love to get back there and finish the story in the way Terry and I plotted, long ago.

Headcanons!

Okay so, I said in a previous post that I didn't really have any headcanons for Tom Riddle, but since I started writing more about him, here are a few that feels pretty consistent in my head (some are pretty much on par with what we glimpse in canon, some are characterization I liked in fanfics and/or metas, and some just my own personal ideas):

SFW

Possessive, of course. Once he decides something or someone is his, it's *his*. Friends, family, lovers, you name it, if he cares, he doesn't share.

That being said, I don't think he would necessarily be jealous, he is way too confident about his own charm and abilities to think that their loved one would try their luck elsewhere. But he would fight someone trying too much to get into your pants, and his anger in the event of learning you cheated on him would be devastating.

Ever since reading this meta, (and subsequently this one) I've been obsessed with the idea of Tom Riddle not wanting to rule the wizarding world, but wanting to destroy it. It's the main idea I keep in mind whenever I write him growing to become Voldemort, and it's the one that makes the most sense too to me. He's a man who grew up with everything taken away from him by both sides of the world, but the Wizarding World particularly never stood up to become more than anything the muggle world ever was. (The second meta is also what inspired me to write him this way in The Hanged Man's Tale)

I think his main goals remain immortality and magical power, and that keeping the most prominent dark families under his thumb allows him easier access to magical power, the same reason why he ended up working at Borgins and Burkes out of all the places he could afford to work at (still following the idea that the Wizarding World's nepotism refused him access to higher positions in society). So anyone he would be interested in has to have knowledge or power (or both) that he doesn't have himself in order to be enticing in his eyes. (That or absolutely no ties whatsoever with the world he knows, making for a refreshing take).

Bisexual king? Bisexual king!

Very much high maintenance too. The closer he gets to you, the more he wants to spend time with you, and don't you dare go a day without talking to him (see possessive behaviour).

He's a nervous smoker, a habit he picked up during summers at the orphanage. Most of the other boys were doing the same, and it wasn't really difficult to steal some from unsuspecting workers despite shortages. He always keeps one or two on hand even at Hogwarts, smoking a puff or two and keeping the rest for later when he is particularly stressed.

I like to think of him as still human despite losing chunks of his soul, and I think the last thing he still craves after everything is the touch of another (insert any headcanon you want which includes Bellatrix and a certain baby post-resurection, I personally love the concept, hate how the play brought it to fruition). The more he cut off his soul, the less he cared about people, but I think before that he had no choice but to hide behind a mask (of his own creation of course) and only pretend he didn't feel anything for anyone.

Similarly, I still think Voldemort is part of his humanity, and I find it difficult to write Tom Riddle without thinking about that counterpart. I do think he doesn't become the worse of what Voldemort became until later, but it's important to me to write a Tom Riddle who still becomes him, unless it's in an AU that begins while he is still at Hogwarts. (That said it's very possible that I try my hand at that kind of AU post Hogwarts one day anyway, but as it is now, this is how I like to write him).

That boy loves sweets. It's not something he would openly share with others, but it's quite easy to notice for those who are observant enough. He won't be bought with them though, but he might listen with a better mood if someone brings them to him.

NSFW

really into choking. Not necessarily the full "can't breathe anymore" thing, but he *will* wrap his hand around your neck and squeeze just enough to get a good hold because he loves the feeling of making you his this way.

He likes to be in control, that is a given, however I do think that with the right person, someone he can fully trust, he would really like them to take the lead, take some pressure off his own shoulders. The younger you both are when you meet and build a rapport, the easier it would be for him to give the trust necessary to reach that point, but later on it would be a real slow burn to get there. (says I after I wrote a full OS where he lets go some with a perfect stranger)

He's a top to service top basically.

Can be both major freak and smoothest vanilla depending on how many people he managed to put into submission during the day. Or sometimes just depending on his mood. Very versatile like that.

Oral fixation. He will latch his mouth on any piece of skin he can reach and lick, suck, bite, as if he could devour you whole. Makes him a very eager kisser. Also very eager to go down on you at a moment's notice.

Virgin or experienced? Depends again on when you two meet. I think he would have kissed one or two people towards the end of his scholarity, but have his first sexual experiences after leaving Hogwarts, unless being with you since being fifteen or something.

That's it for now! Now, am I going to be following this list to the T whenever it comes to our favourite psychopath? Probably not, but this is as close as I can get to personal headcanons for him! I may or may not update this later on, any edits will be written in bold!

I love your headcanons about Tom ♡^♡

Can u give us more? Anything u want, I'm greedy for some good content like yours

Yassss okay let's go!!

Likes lemon flavoured things, particularly sweets. Lemons and sugar were rationed like crazy so I reckon he'd associate it with Hogwarts and the sort of decadence available there in contrast with shit hole London

Runs warm, toasty toasty warm boi

Hates quidditch but attends the games for appearances only. Everything he learned about the rules he learned against his will.

Early riser but not naturally so, decided he was going to be That Sort Of Person and refused to relent to his natural body clock. As such, is a silent dishevelled mess when he first gets up.

Had terrible handwriting as a kid, took one look at people's fancy quill-written scripts on the first day of Hogwarts, went to the library, found some prestigious obscure author's handwritten tome, and spent hours learning how to copy the style perfectly. Never admitted this to anyone and actively pretends he always wrote like that.

Doesn't speak another language, can't play an instrument, and hasn't read a lotta fancy Muggle literature. Is insecure about it and hates when the purebloods speak French bc it calls to light his less than impressive upbringing in comparison to theirs. Speaking parseltongue to nagini in front of them becomes a very loaded flex, is completely infatuated with the poetic justice that he can speak this Mystic Infamous language associated with Slytherin himself when his pureblood compatriots can't.

Obsessed with being organised to a flaw. Will throw out a page of notes and rewrite them rather than cross something out. Likes the illusion of the final product that he never makes mistakes and if someone compliments him on it, will act nonchalant and never admits to the initial errors.

Tried for weeks to learn how to cast a Patronus obsessed with the fantasy of being able to do something so difficult and getting admiration for it. Is deeply salty that he never could.

Possessive over his things to the point it's scary. Even with publically shared things, he'll have a particular seat in class, a desk in the library, a couch in the common room that are 'his.' His dormmates Do Not Touch His Stuff.

Prefers the quiet to background noise. Would probably lie and say he listens to Fancy Classical Music whilst he works but he doesn't.

Likes to be outside alone. Being around people is always at least in part performative, and therefore only feels genuinely at ease by himself.

Collector, steals things. If you're beside him and drop a quill and don't notice he'll just take it if he can get away with it. He steals random shit all the time as a subconscious method of exerting power over the people around him. Keeps all this shit hidden in his dorm.

On that note, hides things all the time completely unnecessarily. Puts everything super duper away, locks it up, charms it to be inaccessible to others, and it's just like, his toothbrush or something. Hides the most innocuous stuff.

Obsessed with hygiene and being well kept, but is fairly ambivalent to his looks. The attention to appearance is an expression of fear someone will recognise his 'common' origins, rather than an expression of vanity.
