It's beautiful.

Work in progress

Thank you to everyone who got me to 250 likes!

I can hardly believe that a combination of low effort shitposts and mid quality art could get me so far.

Then again, that's the power of...

I'm going to say this as kindly as I can, but it's already gone too far. For at least the past week--since filming on GO 3 started, but even before then--there has been a nonstop demand for hair dye pics from fans. In particular, I have seen comments on Georgia and Anna's dedicated posts on Insta over and over harassing them about hair dye pictures. (This is not even including comments on stories, which we can't see publicly unless they share them, and how many of those likely involve requests for hair dye pictures.)

All of this in the wake of the Vulture article being published, and the sudden disappearance of discourse around Neil's actions in tandem with a resurgence of discourse around GO 3 filming. And what I have not seen is any consideration or discussion of how this could be affecting Georgia and Anna. They knew Neil, albeit in a different capacity than David and Michael. They worked with Neil on that Dream of a Thousand Cats bonus episode of Sandman, and had at least a professional relationship with him. Yet everyone expects them to jump enthusiastically into GO 3, regardless of whether they've had time to process or grieve, or how they might actually feel about the show themselves.

I genuinely do not think that Georgia or Anna are "teasing" the fans or "playing" with us, at least not in the way people seem to think. I think they are fed up at this point (and rightfully so) and truly don't care if fans are upset about not having hair dye pictures. And I think the difficulty that some fans have with seeing this stems from an inability to see Georgia and Anna as individuals/judge them by their own actions, but instead as extensions of David and Michael. All four of these people might (and likely do) have vastly different feelings about Good Omens/this entire situation, and this behavior from the fandom has a good chance of making Georgia and Anna resent the show and the fans more than anything else.

When it comes down to it--and as difficult as it might be to accept--we are just not going to get the behind the scenes tidbits or posts that we got for the first two seasons. The circumstances now are much more complex, and there are many more reasons for everyone involved to stay quiet/on the down low regarding production--especially given that legally speaking, there are likely major restrictions on what can/can't be shared on social media. And if/when the day comes that something can be shared, hopefully it will be from the guys themselves, when they are ready and able to do so. Until then, and unless the goal is to make them stop engaging with the fandom for good, let's please leave Georgia and Anna alone...

I am solitary lights in an empty city.

I'm going to do some Transformers redesigns, and I wanted to know which autobots and decepticons are popular across different continuities.

I'm already locked in on Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream.

I'm open to alt mode suggestions for Megatron (currently thinking an alien gunship) and any suggested characters who have inconsistent alt modes.

Please respond with a comment, I look forwards to knowing what you guys have to say!

Holy s***, almost forgot Kane Chronicles, Perry Johanson, Magnus Chase et. all. Riordan is a very good author to binge read. He's not perfect for being inclusive but he sure does try. Maybe too much. If you've only read Peter Johnson and Heroes of Olympus, you're missing out. I much prefer Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase, and Daughter of the Deep is very good.

Erm, trying to think of more fantasy for teens and young adults is hard. That's all I have for stuff you can binge read.

The House of Secrets trilogy and Spiderwick Chronicles are both good, Narnia is alright if you can endure the racism and hot devil analogues in your area.

The Power of Five series is quite good for something on the darker end, but there's an uncomfortable use of colonialist language in the second book and it's not the easiest to get through.

Tolkien's shorter stories; such as those in Tales From the Perilous Realm and his Letters from Father Christmas are very good.

As far as other things you can binge read, A Series of Unfortunate Events and All the Wrong Questions are two separate stories from the same universe penned by Lemony Snicket.

Jeeves and Wooster is great, especially with the short stories. It massively improved my writing around the end of high school, though the humour not be for you.

I'd recommend not binge reading the Sherlock Holmes short stories because they can be quite a pain to get through. The full length ones are much better but regardless, Conan Doyle likes to get sidetracked and after forcing my way through the full volume of stories I can understand where his hate was coming from.

Just don't try Bond unless you're an edgy teen, preferably a boy. The George Smiley books by John le Carré are far better spy stories and they're not as well, they're not as outdated by even the standards of their own time period. From Russia with Love is pretty good but doesn't hold a candle to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Just a general recommendation, I never tried binge reading le Carré. Alex Rider by Anthony Horowitz is a decent Bond alternative for less edgy teenage boys.

The Hunger Games is still as relevant as ever. Read it. Then read the other two books by Suzanne Collins. She's a good writer.

Misc books I recommend include Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz, The History of Bees by Maja Lunde, The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley, Ash Mistry is great if you like Riordan and want a similar take with Indian belief (though I've only had the pleasure of reading the first book), Good Omens if you can get a pre-loved copy is mostly Pratchett and if you read enough Discworld you can tell who he wrote (I miss the four other horsemen of the apocalypse, why aren't they in the show).

Give narrative history a shot as a way to learn history, try the other work authors you like have made and sorry for the long ass post.

Have Watson bashing on Sherlock before Holmes even got addicted to opium:

Ya know what? Even before JK Rowling outed herself as a substandard primate, I wasn't a big fan. Harry Potter is the least bingeable fantasy series I've read.

Lord of the Rings? Perfect for binge reading.

Discworld? Streaming services envy the variety.

Harry Potter? Tonal whiplash like there's no tomorrow. Went from kids books to being for edgy teens that don't want to be embarrassed yet.

At least How to Train Your Dragon doesn't try to change demographic that quickly. It actually matures over the series and takes time to transition, instead of just switching to a different style out of nowhere.

Soz for the ramble in tags.

I redownloaded Twitter.

You just made my day.

i'm reading The Fifth Elephant (Terry Pratchett) and i love that the immediate impression you get of vetinari and margolotta's relationship is:

they have definitely fucked

2. the form the "fucking" took was sitting across a table from each other fully clothed and trying to psychologically manipulate each other.

I made a chimera, hope it looks alright.
