Ben Wyatt drove to Eagleton to get some wacko children’s performer named Freddy Spaghetti and paid him a crap ton of money to come to Pawnee and play the concert, all because he couldn’t stand the idea of letting Leslie down <1 month after they first met. that’s all

A Discourse on Tartan

For those who don’t know, the various patterns of tartan actually hold special significance to Europeans. Different styles of tartan are used to indicate a person’s allegiance to a certain clan, family, or order. It is even illegal in some places to wear specific brands of tartan without permission from the person in charge of the group to which the pattern belongs.

This being said, Aziraphale wears a very specific style of tartan. It’s called “Heaven’s Dress Tartan,” and it was designed specifically for Michael Sheen to wear in the show.

The naming of this tartan, along with the fact that it is the only tartan we see him wear, would indicate that this pattern is actually the official tartan of heaven. But as we see when Aziraphale is handed his military uniform and told to go assume command of his platoon, (they wouldn’t be waiting for him unless he was their Sargent - fight me,) Heaven has its own official Tartan, and it’s not the one Aziraphale is wearing.

Furthermore, when Aziraphale is discorporated and winds up in Heaven, the Heaven’s Dress Tartan on his bow-tie is gone.

This leads me to conclude that, since Aziraphale is wearing a unique tartan that does not match heaven’s, our dear Principality made his own tartan. He didn’t see that pattern somewhere and think it was nice, and he doesn’t wear it to show his allegiance to Heaven. This is A.Z. Fell’s clan tartan. He designed it for himself to wear, as his symbol. If he had a family, it would be their family tartan. 

Now, a thing about clan tartans is you’re only really supposed to wear it if you’re a member of the clan; i.e., a member of the family. Which brings up an interesting point:

Twice in the show, Aziraphale gives Crowley the Heaven’s Dress Tartan. The first is when he gives him the holy water. (Isn’t it sweet, the vessel he uses is decorated to represent himself?) This could perhaps be dismissed under the theory that it was simply what Aziraphale had on hand - it could easily have been any other securely-shut cup. 

However, in the scene where Crowley and Aziraphale meet Anathema, Aziraphale miracles a tartan bike rack onto the Bentley (which I couldn’t find a picture of). Aziraphale is willingly giving Crowley his specific tartan. Now remember what I said about clan tartans only being worn by members of the clan?

Thesis: Aziraphale considers Crowley to be his family and has since at least the 60s.

I have a feeling that beneath the little halo on your noble head There lies a thought or two the devil might be interested to know You're like the finish of a novel that I'll finally have to take to bed You fascinate me so

R atm | Alec Hardy/Dr. Bill Masters | Broadchurch, Masters of Sex | Strong language, eventual sexual situations

“The fact that Alec Hardy was not currently, had not ever, and did not want to date the American sex research did not seem very important at all to the town of Broadchurch.  They did what they had always done with a little bit of juicy gossip: they made a spectacle of it.”

You remember how I told everyone the plot of Season 2 before it aired?

(Everyone tries to remember and then shakes their heads.)

That's right. I didn't. I spent several years going "wait and see". And you waited and you saw.

I'm not going to reveal any of the plot of Season 3, either. So there's really no point in asking me to make things happen, or to tell me what you do or you don't want to happen. I'm not going to.

original thingy:

genderfluid but not in a "is it a girl day or boy day today" way but in a "my soul has lived here for too long. the doorframes are chipped and the walls are sun-faded; the wood rots and the nails rust. this house was once home but today it is no longer. will I ever be back? maybe one day. but come tomorrow this place is dead to me." on a random wednesday and then chopping all my hair off way

Lost Hat (A short comic) 

This was the scene that inspired me to draw the comic. The idea has been in my head since June, after the release of the Good Omens episodes. It went lying in my folders for a while, but I’m glad to finally have it finished!  Thank you for reading :)

HC: one day, Crowley and Aziraphale decided to stay home as it was raining outside. Aziraphale opened an old envelope of old pictures he had of Crowley and wondered.

Best of Neil's stage directions/commentary in the good omens s1 script book

I went back and read this to help me cope after s2, as one does

[eulinn]

Hello Neil, how are you?

You get a lot of asks about how therapeutic good omens is for the queer community, and I thought you should know there is another therapeutic effect for this show and this fandom. I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling like this and I hope I will be able to explain it in a way that will do justice to the point I'm trying to make (English is not my native language).

So to the point - good omens have helped me significantly with my eating disorders and body image problems. I'm here lurking in fandoms for at least 15 years, most of them fantasy and comics related. And almost always the main characters are young, very fit with perfect bodies, whether in movies and TV or fanfiction. For years I have struggled with not being able to fit my body to the beauty standards of society and western culture. I don't want to trigger anyone so I won't elaborate, but I did everything I could and it never was enough. Therapy was very important and got me to the point I don't hurt myself anymore, but my mind still couldn't believe a person who looks like me can be attractive or romantically lovable. Then I got to know the good omens fandom. Where you chose to show characters that doesn't see food as the enemy or the pleasure from it as ugly or wrong. That can have love and support and being comfortable with themselves regardless of any 'gut' they 'need' to lose. And it continued and magnified in season 2, with your plot and casting choices. But also the fandom of good omens have helped immensely to enable the change in my perspective about myself. The way people talk and write about these characters and their relationships allows me to feel better about myself. It's amazing how reading stories about different types of bodies being accepted and considered as beautiful can make the reader feel more appreciative and even learn to love their own body. I wish I could see more of it on mainstream tv, movies and books.

So thank you neil and thanks to this entire community, for helping me learn how to accept, love and treat myself better.

I'm so very glad.
