good omens the book, 1990: see, queen is so ubiquitous in london these days that if you leave a tape in a car for too long, it'll inevitably morph into a best of queen tape. which is why their megahits are playing in crowley's bentley all the time! isn't that a funny and topical joke?
good omens the show, 2019-2023: yeah crowley's car has a hands-free call system and also only plays cassette tapes. yeah it's whatever don't think about it. what's an incredibly earnest and passionate queen love song we can play during this scene where crowley tries urgently to reach aziraphale
#good omens#this is so funny to me. they have it's a hard life in s1e1 when he's trying to call aziraphale about armageddon#you're my best friend in s1e5 when he's racing to the bookshop to see him#good old-fashioned loverboy in s2e1 when he's racing to the bookshop to help aziraphale stay safe while hiding gabriel.#in the 90s it would've been a joke about how everywhere queen was. today it's just like. this gay loser's car knows about his crush#and deliberately plays cheesy classic love songs when he's going to see him to bug him about it#and he's just accepted it into his life. i love it#AND somebody to love after he's presumed aziraphale's dead! i know that was diegetic but the bentley WOULD. you know it would

“It's heartbreaking to hear someone say, I wasn't always like this. And by ‘this’ they mean their anxiety, their fears, the little things that make them uncomfortable, the songs that make them look away and hold back tears, the way they struggle to trust again. As if ‘this’ version deserves any less love and care than all of the people they have been. As if 'this' is something that makes them a burden.”

why is it that 90% of criticism of the song of achilles just boils down to not accepting the conventions of romance as a genre and wanting it to simply be a different book than what it is? because seriously if you can’t get with the fact that the song of achilles is a queer romance story first and a retelling of the iliad second you’re never gonna make a criticism of it that’s interesting to me. if i wanted to read a book that was accurate to the source material then i would just read the iliad. if i wanted to read a queer romance unfolding on the backdrop of a mythical war i would read the song of achilles. if you dont understand the difference between those two things then your beef with that book is just a waste of time to me
#tangential but i think tsoa had a little bit of a hunger games effect#where it inspired so many knockoffs of itself that it retroactively is percieved as worse than it actually is#also at the end of the day its obviously not meant to be about the iliad its about tragic queer love in ancient greece#it frustrates me a lot that people really just cant understand that lmaooo#.txt#alex talks#books#bookblr#the song of achilles#the iliad#the classics#patrochilles#achilles/patroclus#ya#ancient greece#ancient rome#greatest hits

When The Goo Goo Dolls said “I’d give up forever to touch you,” “you’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be” and when Hozier said “the only heaven I’ll be sent to is when I’m alone with you” and when Taylor Swift said “I would fall from grace just to touch your face” and when Hozier said “if I could hold you for a minute, I’d go through it again,” “I would not change it each time, heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I” and when Hozier said “I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door” and when George Ezra said “is the grass of Eden overrated? No one else is such a beautiful dream to me” and when Big Thief said “no love is like this, no sacrifices” and when Jeff Buckley said “my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder,” “all my riches for her smile,” “all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter” and when Johnny Cash said “you can have it all, my empire of dirt”

Protomen, mostly Megaman and small notes on Proto
I saw in the live concert videos of their performance, and I keep seeing them use a keytar when killing proto. I thought of incorporating it (though it might just be like ahh object on stage that is cool, you will be used in performance art) but also is so cool. So, in this case, it can be used as a weapon latched to the arm, as a cannon, and switches to the other side for close range/hand-to-hand combat with a sharp edge.
also some notes on Proto, on what he looks like, with cut-up hair/ looking rugged, no face just helmet, or if it's just mysterious
#the protomen#megaman#mega man#megaman classic#mm classic#protoman#megaman fanart#I so desperately want to make a animatic or comic from one or two of the songs#i love act 1 so much especially their live in Nashville performance like its so good to hear and added little bits of their dialogue ough#got so many thoughts but words escape me just hear me go WEEE WAHOO#also yes i did try drawing panther he came out a little wonky
