SECOND CHAPTER OF TRIPPING INTO ENTROPY HAD BEEN POSTED BIG POG

@threesorrows

[cmyknoise]

"Not entitled to URLs" I've never anyone say that before but you are right

i'm not the only one saying it but yeah.

like. i get it sucks, especially for cc's that have a "brand" right. like of course phil is gonna want the philza/ph1lza url

and anyone would. i would of course, but here's like, the thing right.

these cc's have known about tumblr for years. some have even voiced that they're 'scared' of it.

but twitter is going down a shitty road, and i don't blame them for wanting to jump ship

but now they want their usernames that they've built their brand around. and i get it, but here's the thing.

tumblr isn't like any other platform, and it is almost entirely fandom based

having "canon" urls of characters or fandoms or people is a commodity.

some people hoard urls (which is against tos to an extent, although tumblr does allow you to have some spares, if you have too many they can be taken from you if they've been unused. to my knowledge if you post on said accounts or use them in any way or switch between urls this tos doesnt usually apply, but some people do get terminated for having like 20+ urls saved)

but others genuinely will wait until they see a url deactivate or change and snatch it up

urls are traded around. fuck if i recall a few years back some bigger companies offered money to users to buy certain urls because they wanted them.

but like, these are rightfully obtained urls by fans. they've waited and snatched them up, it's been a race. i got ones like ghostburboo because i made it within a minute of ghostbur's last name being dropped. my best friend has a fundylive account. i know people who have canon urls, they're not impersonating cc's. they enjoy them or their content and post like normal, but those urls are apart of their tumblr space/identity.

and if a cc asked someone for a url and they said 'sure man here you go' then awesome! but they're not doing that, or they've not yet done anything like that. they just go straight to tumblr or they're vocally complaining on twitter about being unable to get urls they want.

i know for phil tumblr responded to him, and i hope to fucking *everything* he does not get those urls by tumblr taking them from someone. that's bullshit and i'm sorry like- i love phil but that's some bullshit. no one should be allowed to just say "hey tumblr i want my url" and tumblr can go "okay king!" and do it, when someone else got it first. thats how all websites work, if someone got that url first they get it. you cant throw a fit if you didnt catch the worm man.

tommy made up a funny url, sneegsnag did, so have others who've joined and couldnt get their classic usernames, why anyone feels entitled to these usernames is crazy to me.

because yeah you've built your brand around it, but you're entering into a fan space.

and these people have, on twitter, admitted to "i might not use this often lol" but they still want the urls, which is once again bullshit.

they're jumping ship from twitter for very good reason, but it's not fair to the users who have been here for years using their urls and usernames to be pressured or at risk of them being taken, especially if the cc isn't even going to be using tumblr all that much.

its tumblr and it's 2022. if you can't get some canon url you mix the letters up. why do you think i have an x in my name? chekhovsgun is taken and has been for ages, so i replaced the o with an x myspace style

use numbers, do something funny. i think tommy's is very funny (and he wasnt upset about not getting tommyinnit, he seemed more sad about not getting wifehaver) sneegsnag's is very funny

these ppl are entering in an enclosed terrarium and then wanting to take the sticks and leaves from bug houses to make their own house and like, bruh you can't just do that.

besides they're not even like, they have so many options. tumblr does custom domains, so they can still have their names they'd just have to get a custom domain for it instead of it being name.tumblr

they can straight up go onto twitter or twitch or youtube and say "hey chat my tumblr is minecraftblockman69 follow me there lmao"

and then there's proof! then people know "hey that's my streamer's tumblr" and the whole risk of impersonation doesnt even matter

like. i dunno man. its extremely upsetting to see people jump ship and want things they feel entitled to have because of their brand, disrespecting that this is a fandom space, when chances are they may not even post here or stay here long.

I usually do get carried away and forget that I'm simply conducting a class for kids and teenagers. Although I do have aspirations to teach in college but since that includes several requirements (both having the need to both study yet again and spending hard-earned money on a fluctuating tuition fee). Hence I'd be more than happy with my current job of smarting them up and preparing them for the road ahead. Be it for them to be a serious artist , shitty meme-r or a lame punster later on. It's all there in our lessons! I'll make THIS my stomping ground! #LessonLearned #ArtTeacher #ArtNaArt #SchoolOfChapel #TomCruise #TomCruiseMemes #ChekhovsGun #AntonChekhov #CharacterDesign #StompingGround https://www.instagram.com/p/CCsaXS7HXly/?igshid=1lm5rd4439fmw

I am relistening to The Adventure Zone

Relistening it weird because you can’t really look for plot hole cause the plot that could have holes in it hasn’t been written yet! 

And that fact makes the accidental foreshadowing so interesting and cool. The fact that Griffin just took things that the boys said, usually as jokes, and made them into the majesty that is the final arc is some of the best storytelling I’ve ever seen. Its Chekhov’s gun but Griffin didn’t know what was going to be introduced in the first act.

Like listening to the introduction of The Director is so fascinating knowing what I know now. You can imagine all sorts of thing going on behind the words that the boys didn’t even intend when it was happening but can be a true part of the story nonetheless.

I love this new weird style of storytelling. It just makes me so happy!

A few ‘Fallen Aziraphale’ recs because that is my current obsession

Just to warn you, I have included one of my own fics in here. I’m not saying I recommend it because I”ve never been any good at judging the quality of my own writing, it’s more just that it’s there and it fits this theme, and I want people to read it. Sorry!

But the other ones on this list are definitely good, and I highly recommend every one of them.

 The Fall by Elle_Writes_4 - 19329 words - 4 chapters - complete Aziraphale falls by choice. It’s not something he wanted to do, but the alternatives presented by Heaven feel so much worse to him that he actually chooses to fall. Beelzebub is less than impressed when he shows up on Hell, and called Crowley to collect him. There is angst, because despite making the choice for himself, it’s not something that Aziraphale wanted, but things feel more hopeful by the end. 

Gravity by @kaeltale - 13804 words - 3 chapters - complete This one is absolutely my favourite fallen Aziraphale fic that I’ve found so far, and actually my favourite Good Omens fic so far too. I don’t want to spoil it, so I’m not going to say too much, but the angst levels aren’t massively high, for those that don’t like that kind of thing, and the ending is amazing. Read it, you won’t regret it.

Well, I’ll be damned by the_pen_is_mightier - 1630 words - 1 chapter - complete The author manages to write fluff around this subject, and that is something to be celebrated. A short fic in which Aziraphale falls, but is actually mostly okay with it.

(Not) The End Of The World by @prepare4trouble​ - 25350 words - 9 chapters + deleted scenes - complete This is that self-rec I was reluctant to include. It’s not a rec as such, it’s more of a “hey, I gave this a go too”. Aziraphale falls a couple of weeks after the world doesn’t end, and Crowley helps him deal with the consequences.

names for sides by NeverNooitNiet - 3948 words - 1 chapter - complete This one is interesting as it doesn’t just have Aziraphale fall, but Crowley rise too. Neither of them are particularly happy about it, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t make that much difference. I love this one.

It Only Hurts If You Let It by InterstellarVagabond - 970 words - 1 chapter - complete Synopsis is “Aziraphale’s been leaning heavily into his new identity: scaring waiters, indulging in sins, and tempting Crowley to bed every night, but is he really happy like this?” and I don’t think I can explain it any better than that. It’s good. Read it.

beelzebub has a devil put aside for me by @unbreakable-groundriot - 49772 words - 36 chapters - complete This one… this one… I honestly can’t recommend this more highly. Be warned though, it will break your heart. It will shatter it into a thousand pieces, and then it will try to put it together again, but it’ll never be quite the same. I don’t want to say any more, but set aside some time when you can read it without distractions, because you’re probably not going to be able to stop once you’ve started.

The following pics are at time of writing, WIPs. I almost didn’t include them, but they’re good and I really want people to read them and write comments to give the authors encouragement so that they keep writing. So it’s for purely selfish reasons that I’m sharing these to make everyone else want more chapters of these fics as badly as I do!

With Good Intentions by Cosmic_Retribution - 11907 words - 4 chapters - WIP Slight AU in which Aziraphale and Crowley don’t swap bodies after the world doesn’t end, but survive the executions attempts anyway. Heaven and Hell assume that Aziraphale had fallen and Crowley risen, resulting in Crowley being an angel, and Aziraphale stuck in Hell as a demon. Nobody is having a good time right now, but the author has promised that the two of them will be reunited next chapter. This one is addictive, guys. You have to read it!

Too Fast by B_H_Castle - 7521 Words - 9 Chapters - WIP Gabriel figures out the body swap ruse and decide to punish them his own way. Aziraphale falls, and Crowley is made human. I should probably warn you that this one is tagged ‘major character death’ although that hasn’t happened yet.

Though My Soul May Set in Darkness by chekhovsgun - 10244 Words - 6 Chapters - WIP Working together, and having a lot of fun doing it (since they’re both kinda evil in different ways) Gabriel and Beelzebub work together to make Aziraphale fall, orchestrating the whole thing and observing the results for their own amusement. This one is moving really slowly, but that’s a good thing. Six chapters in, and they’ve only just worked out what’s happening. The author is planning on torturing us and I kinda don’t mind one bit.

Silence in the Hearts of Angels by fremen_wali - 5922 Words - 4 Chapters - WIP Quite some time after the world doesn’t end, when they have returned to the country, Aziraphale falls unexpectedly and Crowley tries to help him through it. Thus far that’s all I can say, other than this one is really well written and I can’t wait for more. They’ve just been summoned to Hell, who are well aware of what has happened, and I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens when they get there

Heaven and Hell were never going to let them just get away with it, they're too prideful and vengeful for that. But if they can't kill their wayward angel and demon directly, what's the next best thing?

The theory of Chekhov’s gun is one that most theatre people are familiar with, the theory in a nutshell is that if there is a gun in the play then it will be fired, so even if it looks insignificant it could end up being a pivotal point.
