I love that in the second/last season of The Sandman they didn't cover Mason Alexander Park tattoos, so now Desire having a "Gender" tattoo is canon

Crisis averted

Thanks to everyone who listened and removed their posts on the leaks

This just means we're one day closer to actually seeing the finale! Now how brilliant is that?

[tortarepostera]

I suppose that to talk about the other leaked concept arts is as jeopardising as sharing the concept arts? I'm dying here with some details I discovered 😩

[tortarepostera]

Ok, if you saw the teaser poster (no, you didn't... we didn't saw anything), and it seemed rushed, made with photographs, it's just because that IT'S NOT A TEASER POSTER. The concept artist is that, a concept artist. For portfolio purposes it seems he put the good omens logo in a concept art he made.

And what is a concept art? The concept artist himself said in his webpage: "My role involved simulating set environments using photographic assets to help the art department visualise key locations before construction. While this work leans heavily on photo-manipulation and layout, it provided valuable experience in fast-paced production pipelines and visual storytelling within strict time constraints."

That's why it seems rushed, and he used a known set photo, etc. It's just to help in the production.

Pd: Don't ask for the art if you didn't saw it, and if you have it please don't post it, they said it could jeopardize production and the artist!

How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? 📍

This electronic music box is not technically a new piece, but a rework of an old one!

When I first made this in 2023 I had no laser machine, and had only just started doing more elaborate art pieces. The woodwork was rough, the details/designs were made of cardstock, and the internal electronics were a total mess. You couldn’t even play the music at the same time as the rotating dancers 😬 I’ve come a long way since then!

I remade the entire base from scratch, out of engraved wood this time, and redesigned all the electronics. I’ve also re-done the halos, changed the center rotating rod from acrylic to brass, and tidied up a lot of misc internal things, with the end result being a piece that is much sturdier, cleaner, and works much more smoothly. And WHY spend hours doing this, you ask?

Well, I had intended to gift this to a certain unnamed person back then, but for once in my life my ADHD time blindness came in clutch and I never got around to sending it out. I was embarrassed at the time, but what a relief now! So I’m happy to say that this cleaned up piece will be up for auction at The Ineffable Con in August to benefit Alzheimer’s research, in honor of Terry Pratchett.

I'd have 3 nickels.

if I had a nickel for every time a show i loved was told by a streaming service to not continue making it, instead conclude it with a feature film, I'd have two nickels and it's EXTREMELY devastating that it happened twice

LADY GAGA LIVE AT COACHELLA 2025

Full interview on youtube

Doon Mackichan talks a bit about Good Omens Season 3 in a recent interview.

She talks a bit about her role as Michael.

Transcript and spoilers under the cut!

Doon: So the great thing about the cut-down version is, I got a really, really good part of a, of the angel, I play Archangel Michael in it. But I go rouge. So it's, it's, it's a great part for me because I've never had to play a complete psycho. So that's fantastic.

Not sure when that's coming out. They have to do a load of special effects. So I would think the autumn.

[tortarepostera]

Might delete this post later, but I wrote my first Good Omens fanfic. It's about what happened to Elspeth after the minisode in episode 3. It's short and simple because English is not my mother tongue, but I hope you like it.

The S1 Bentley is For Sale! 👀

link

from the description :):

Mary is a 1934 Derby Bentley Thrupp & Maberley bodied Coupe. BLE 430 – B 96 BN. Two were made but the other one has not been seen since WW11, so she is unique. She is also the only Bentley in the world to have been blown up twice on screen. She was owned by Speed King Donald Campbell in the early fifties.

I acquired her in 2009, to go with my 1947 Mark VI. Since then the engine has been completely re-built, including a new head and block, with a new clutch put in at the same time. She has also been re-wired, new kingpins, total brake overhaul, new radiator and fuel pump with suspension and one shot lubrication system overhauled. Also had the speedometer and rev.counter serviced in 2018. She runs superbly and has just had her annual service at AB Classics, who specialise in pre-war Bentleys & Rolls Royces. (He also looks after my 1936 25/30 RR ).

She is currently insured for £295,000 and I will be looking for an offer around £265,000.

History

Ordered for Jack Odling in September 1934. One of two 3 ½ lt Coupes made by Thrupp & Maberley. The other one has not been seen for several decades and presumed lost during World War 2. Not much early history but owned by Speed King Donald Campbell in the early 1950’s. We have a photograph of the car at that time being offered for sale, with silver wheel discs. His ownership is acknowledged by all the relevant history available in various publications and agreed with both Bentley Drivers Club & Rolls Royce Enthusiasts Club records. She went through three owners from October 1954 to October 1961. Next piece of history is she was acquired by a Mr Silk of Romford in 1973 and underwent extensive professional restoration up to 1994, with a mechanical overhaul in 1994. She was back on the road in 1998. She was then purchased from P & A Wood by Andrew Smith in August 2001. He kept her until early 2008 when he sold her to Brian Classic as he did not wish to re- wire her. I bought her from Brian Classic in April 2009 with money left to me by my late Mother, Mary. We only just made the 100 miles home with many electrical problems. I am glad to say that Brian Classic eventually made a substantial contribution to the re-wiring by Jeremy Padgett. The following year going into the RREC Concours the heating nearly went into the red so back to Jeremy Padgett to sort out. Result was a complete engine re-build by Ristes, also replaced the radiator core and new clutch plate. Finally back on the road in May 2012. Very expensive period. However, she is now in superb condition, being regularly serviced by AB Classics. More recently the carburettors have been re-built. Following an accident on set in 2017 she was sent to Steve Penny at Penny Vintage to restore the damaged door. Sadly this was one of his last jobs before retiring. What a superb craftsman he is, he made a fabulous job of restoring her. Needless to say she still looks superb. I have owned and enjoyed classic cars since 1969 and Mary must be my ultimate car.

TV & Film work

...

when the call came. Jeremy, I am looking for a 1926 Derby Bentley, preferably black. Can you find me one please. I explained that they were not invented until 1933 and that mine was made in 1934 and is grey and black and has not changed since Endeavour three years earlier. Half an hour later phone goes again, can you bring your car down for production to have a look at in Ealing early next week. Production were delighted with Mary, especially after a bit of a run round Ealing. At this point no-one would tell me what it was all about, apart from the fact that this was “The Big One”. Two days later phone goes again, she is going to be Crowley’s Bentley in “Good Omens” by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. My wife quickly ordered the book and read it. The Bentley was mentioned almost 80 times. Can I please take her to a specialist body maker for her cab to be replicated for studio scenes. Can I find an interior etc. I phoned Hew at The Real Car Company, who was a tremend ous help. A complete set of instruments and a steering wheel duly arrived. Next, I was asked if I could take the car to Wokingham to be copied. Absolutely staggered to discover they wanted the car at Rushton’s Farm, where I lived from 1957 to 1963. Father’s chicken sheds had been converted into industrial units. A half hour drop off turned into four hours, as I took an old photograph album to show the current owners. The farmhouse had been separated from the rest of the farm by this time. A real trip down memory lane for me. Looking for a Derby body, seats etc, Hew recommended talking to Bob Petersen. He was stripping down a Thrupp & Maberley saloon to make one of his famous specials, so that was purchased complete with dash, seats etc so Mary could be well and truly replicated. Even changed the indicator switch so that both were identical. By this time the cast list had leaked out on the Internet. David Tennant and Michael Sheene are the main stars with others being added on a daily basis. I met many people but mainly worked with these two, especially David. He is one of the nicest guys you could ever wish to meet. Very hardworking but happily chats to everyone. I got Mary back from the farm in September, ready to start filming. The first scene was near Marlow for a two day shoot where I started to meet the cast and crew. 

Trying to teach David how to drive Mary was a bit of a struggle. Most people in their forties haven’t a clue about cars without syncromesh on all gears, and David normally drives an automatic! However, Rob, the stunt driver did know how to drive Mary and quickly picked up the fact that the clutch cannot be depressed for any length of time. The main problem with David and Rob changing over was about six inches in height. Don’t think the seat had been moved so much for years, with a gentle application of oil on the runners and avoidance of catching the carpet. During this period Mary used the registration NIATRUC, Curtain spelt backwards (the subject is the end of the world ). The Morris Minor had SID RAT , TARDIS spelt backwards. David was an earlier Dr Who! Being the grandad on set meant that I was well looked after by everyone, who made sure I had Mary in the right place and usually a radio as well. There is a lot of hanging about on set then a burst of activity. Some shots are repeated over a dozen times to get differing angles and eventually sort out which take will be used. Within a few days I was getting the hang of it, meeting the directors, the camera guys, the sound technicians, moving from location to location, usually in or around the M 25 then in central London. Naturally you can watch Good Omens on BBC iplayer and see how much Mary appeared. There are a few pictures of what it is like on set.
