I miss the lighting from Season 1 Good Omens so, so much..

Look at how gorgeous:

But then in Season 2, what happens?

It’s so painfully saturated.. while Crowley’s 666-colored hair was a clever trick, it was nonetheless in shambles :( I am telepathically pleading with the production crew to ease up on the coloring. Please restore its Demonic (and dare I say, very sensible) Flair

The risqué connotations associated with any “x”-using domain should be enough to ward any person from wanting to switch over. Imagine saying to a person, “hey, do you use xmail?” and the person goes, “x.. mail? That sounds..” Yeah, it sounds weird, especially in a hyper-pornographic society

Why do I feel like Elon knows this on some level and is just doing it for kicks. Very expensive trolling

this should not have gagged me as hard as it did

Is this…. it? Is this the red hair? Or is it strange lighting?

I just learned that cats can get headaches :( Imagine if Kitty has ever slept because she’s had headaches

Does anyone ever think about how being human is inherently gross? I was force-feeding myself earlier - at this point, for vain purposes because that’s all it really boils down to - and thinking about how grotesque it is. The entire process of eating, digesting, the rest. At the core of it, you’re an oily creature with a smell that’s only marginally contained by an array of high-tech hygiene practices that aren’t really accessible to any other species. A cat can groom itself well enough and be fine; a horse is unpleasant if not taken care of, but not unbearable. A slug or a ladybug don’t produce any smell that I can discern. But a human who doesn’t take care of themselves is unbearable. When you combine that with the stink of someone’s internal organs, blood, and guts - we’re a yucky time bomb waiting to happen.

Thinking about adding another definition to Urban Dictionary.. this one is an extension of a pre-existing term

The phrase is “no cap, all bottle”

Does this not “hit”, as the kids say

no idea about the context for this scene cuz I haven't watched s2 yet but I imagine this is exactly what happened :)

based on this Columbo gem:

I’ve never really understood why my grandmother can’t stand fruity, gourmand scents. She says that it “just doesn’t belong on a person - why would a person smell like food? That’s weird.”

I guess that if I had a cookie in front of me that smelled like Dior - Sauvage, I wouldn’t want to eat it, either.. then again, smelling like anything apart from “human” on a person isn’t very natural, period.

My grandparents bought me a tuxedo cat stuffed doll that warms up when you put a portion of it in the microwave. (A very interesting thing, I know.) It immediately reminded me of Endrie. I’m putting it away

This person is a poet. A 10/10 description that I could really visualize and *such* a creative way of looking at the world

Sometimes I think about what it’s like from the bug’s POV when I get up to stop my cat from eating it.

Like, imagine: You’ve somehow entered a new planet. You don’t know how or why, but you have. This planet is completely foreign to you. Unlike your home planet which is lush with communities, friends, family, and flora and fauna to keep you alive, this place is desolate. It’s filled with a plethora of artificial suns that only disrupt your sense of navigation. Suddenly, a massive apex predator-looking creature notices you. You understand your fate is grim. You fight, and it doesn’t work. You try to flee, and it doesn’t work. This seemingly wild creature is taunting you. It isn’t even interested in eating you. It just wants to tantalize you and play with you until you die, so it can get bored and move on. You fear this is the end. This strange planet and its strange wild animals. You couldn’t have prepared for their size and agility. All you can do is hope.

Then suddenly the ground shakes. The wild animal looks on in fear. You don’t know why they fear, but you assume you should too. You look on, and a being the size of a skyscraper turns the corner. This being does not resemble any wild creature on this planet or your own. Its appearance is completely foreign and… unnatural. Its agility and intelligence far outpaces the wild animal and your own. You see that even its mere presence is something to behold. The way it exists, and the way its mind works is unfathomable to you. It exists with a poise and calculation that is completely foreign to you.

Suddenly the wild animal snatches you up and attempts to flee. This only angers the skyscraper giant, and they begin pursuit. Eventually the wild animal gets bored with you. More concerned about their own self preservation than the little game they had in mind for you. The skyscraper giant angrily attempts to communicate with the wild animal to no avail. Alas, your freedom is short lived. Suddenly the skyscraper giant turns its attention to you. You couldn’t have even imagined a being like this, and now you’re face to face with one. It leaves, and you attempt to flee, but the giant’s actions far outpace your own. They bend down, encasing you in a mysterious clear fortress that prevents you from going anywhere else. You fear this is actually it. You don’t know why the giant wants to trap you in this clear, air-tight fortress, but they have.

Suddenly they slide this mysterious white sheet under the fortress. Oddly, it smells like the trees back home, but it looks nothing like them. In an instant, the giant stands up, bringing you with it. You climb to heights that make your head spin in a time frame that leaves little to be perceived. The giant begins moving, taking you with them. Now you’re really terrified. What type of sick game is this?

Suddenly, however, the giant peels the barriers of their own planet aside. They rip a hole in the fabric of reality, and on the other side is your home planet with all its beautiful green-ness. You tear up at the sight, yearning for home, but unsure if you’ll ever see it again. The giant steps through the portal, and into your world. For a moment you fear he’s come to kidnap your people as well, but these fears are quickly extinguished. The giant puts you on the ground, removes the flat white tree, causing you to fall on your ass. In the confusion and anger you almost miss that they’ve removed the invisible fortress. If you weren’t confused, you are now. You watch in awe as the giant pays you no more mind and returns to their planet through the portal. Just as easily as they opened it, they close it, sealing the two worlds back into their separate universes.

And there you are: alive. Tomorrow is another day, and you’ll be there to see it. Why this diety of another world felt compassion for you (an intruder) is beyond your own comprehension… and yet they did. They saved you. They returned you to your world. They ended your agony. Then, they left peacefully. And now you’re left with a lifetime of unimaginable experiences, and nobody will believe you.

I miss the iPhone headphone jack. The rest of the world may have moved on, but I haven’t.

I’ve found that anything to the equivalent of an AirPod falls out of my ears.. it’s quite sad, actually.

It’s possible that I simply have large ear canals
