Just a throwaway joke I wanted to get out there before Ares. Some daily life of Quorra and Sam. A sketch I spent too much time on. 😅

TRON: Digital Sea by Kofeyshka

Career Timeline: 1981 - TRON

Moebius is hired by Disney Studios to begin concept design work for TRON(released in 1982). He would also serve as a backup storyboard artist.

Ok I know the instagram comments is generally the place for the worst of humanity to gather but I was looking at some for general news on Tron 3. One about “begging for daft punk” to return etc

Discovered that

1.) a lot of people have no clue Tron 2 was even a thing. Both fans of the original and daft punk fans

2.) a lot of people who had no clue Tron 3 was going to be a thing then expressing imitate disappointment that it’s going to be Leto

3.) rise in concern and confusion when hearing about the plot

Once again I ask… who the fuck is this for?

Definitely not original fans. Maybe legacy fans because the aesthetic remains but that’s a bit risky with the story line. And once again they’re not advertising at all, so like genuinely I ask…

Heeeeey so uh not to bug you or anything but when you gonna rate CLU's exes? Your ratings are good af 👌

Uh oh you've boosted my ego, now I'm going to draft it out

give me 5-10 business days cause I'm terrible at posting(also thank you, I love this fandom so much)

I need everyone to understand about the fremen.

They do not cry. Ever.

To give water to the dead is the most sacred honor that anyone could give but they rarely and never do that because it's ingrained in them to not waste water from birth. A single tear could mean life and death for them. To give water to the living? Unheard of.

Paul crying over killing Jamis in the book was a moment that astonished the fremen around him. Jessica ponders their reactions and knows that this is a holy moment.

Jessica then forcing Chani to cry for Paul(this was not in the book btw but I love it) is the ultimate betrayal of her autonomy. To force her to give what is essentially a piece of her life to him without her consent is sacrilegious and she knows it.

Water of Life indeed.

Wait come back here @echosilverwolf, that's such a genius thought. I've never considered the two witnesses might be non humans, but also it makes perfect sense, since they can already perform miracles and stuff(and also cause the most trouble). The only thing that worries me is them both getting killed............butthenresurrectedyay!

Good Omens 2 Opening-What are they marching toward?

Hi, there's something about the opening credit sequence that immediately caught my eye upon the first viewing. @metatronhateblog and I have discussed the whole opening credits at length (helps that we're siblings and can sit in the same room to talk about it) and we both will probably make some posts about things we haven't seen addressed yet.

I haven't seen anyone mention this particular thing yet, but forgive me if this has already been pointed out.

This mountain they are marching up? This is Zion.

I'm almost certain. It's a very interesting word that's used several times in the Old and New Testament, most notably for me in the book of Revelation, which I read a lot as a former Christian (I liked it cause it was the least boring thing to read).

It has a few different meanings from what I've gathered (a note: this is not about z*ionism.), which I will try to give brief explanations on.

Originally I believe it was meant to be an actual location in Jerusalem, a hill/mountain that held the City of David. Literally called Mount Zion I think.

In the Old Testament it also is described as being the place where God rests, where they are enthroned.

Now look at this.

Pretty sure that's a throne room? It looks like a Greek temple, so I think that's the vibe it's going for. The place where God is located.

Most interestingly, Zion is symbolic of the city of heaven, which will come to earth and God will dwell with the people upon Jesus' return and judgement (at least that's what I'm getting from the text? It can be difficult for me to decipher sometimes). Revelation 14:1 states

"Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads."

I believe this is the first time Jesus appears during(after maybe?) the great Tribulation (aka, all the torments the earth endures during this time before his return) with those who have been chosen by God. "The Lamb" refers to Jesus, for those who may not know.

I thought it was odd that this possible Zion reference was placed here in season 2 since it's not something that we've seen or heard mentioned thus far, but I think we can safely assume it has to do with season 3 and the Second Coming.

A side note, there's something else I caught while looking at this as well:

I could be wrong, but it looks like these cherubs are tipping bowls. BOWLS!

In John's visions in Revelation 16, we see seven angels with bowls pouring out plagues to the earth. Bowls of God's wrath. I could go into what they are but that's a whole other post. For some reason I always remembered the bowls the most, I have no idea why. There's so much to find in the opening, it's like a scavenger hunt and my little brain loves it! Anyway.

Fascinating that Zion is what the people and our heroes are marching toward. Are they simply moving toward the end times (again)? Are they marching straight to God's house to get some answers (Aziraphale might be)? Are they moving toward that utopian heaven on earth as they begin eternity, forever and ever amen (as Michael mentions in the forbidden heavenly footage)? Maybe all three.

It may not be all that important and just be purely symbolic, but I thought it was neat. There really is so much in the details!

Thanks for coming to my rambling! I'm going to go try finding more references now.

Initial Ares reaction.

Dune always gets me with the prescience thing.

Knowing every possible future can't be any form of freedom when you are chained to the only route that will save humanity. A route that kills 62 billion and counting in order to save the rest and it's all for a goal hundreds of millennia in the future.

By becoming the Kwisatz Haderach you have doomed the rest of your lineage to take part in your bloody work and have forever stained your beloved father's name.

The golden path is paved with blood on Atreides hands, but would not interfering make it any different? Can you justify the means if it means the survival of your race? Do you even deserve to survive after what you've done?

Does Paul(and Leto II) actually limit the possibilities through his/their own perception of the future? Could it have gone differently if humanity hadn't discovered the spice and interfered with time in the first place?

Or, like eating the one forbidden fruit in the middle of a garden, was this always the only option for us because humans can't help but fuck around and find out?

@umbrulla I hope you don't mind me tagging you, I noticed you liked the last one and thought you'd enjoy this one too!

Alright, last video you got the carefree fun loving side of RRR but now it’s time for ANGST. Yes, it is THAT Bad Blood. This idea started as half joking but it quickly became deadly serious for me and I’m incredibly pleased with the result.

Contains more plot spoilers for RRR than the previous video and more general violence and (bad) blood. If you’ve seen the movie you know what to expect but if you’ve haven’t then you can make your own judgement call on the matter (and also you should go watch it right now it’s really good I promise).

Me: Oh it'd be so cool to do a classical portrait of Aziraphale in the style of royal portraits of Louis XV!

Me, later: ...what have I done.

She's everything. He's just Beck

Had this idea like a week ago and I can finally draw it lol. This was quick so don't come at me for how terrible the suits are plss I'm sorry – I also had no idea what to do for the background

Wing Theory (not really im just thinking out loud)

Not having seen Aziraphale's wings since the end of season 1(chronologically speaking) has been haunting me. What would they look like after the appearance swap? After leaving heaven altogether?

Would they be black? Rejecting heaven and his angelic status resulting in his own choice to fall?

Would they still be white? A strong moral sense, a surety in what he's doing as the right thing keeping him from falling entirely(or just being God's specialest boy)?

Would they be gray? Not fallen per se, but still a bit on the fence? Caught between two worlds?Accepting that sometimes there are 'shades of gray?' (I think Crowley's would also be gray in such an instance maybe, which reminds me, im obsessed with what his wings might look like rn too.)

Do they even have wings anymore? Probably but I'm considering every damn possibility.

It's been making me wonder what's truly considered "fallen." I have more thoughts on the nature of falling itself but perhaps I'll save it for later.

Tell me your thoughts, I love wings!

Me over here reblogging my sister's sick ass skills again cause it's making me insane too please end my suffering

So I've been working on this video for a friend, and this should not be making me squeal like a little girl but it is??? So I just wanna share this clip with you I put together that's making me absolutely feral.

My darling dearest partner made a super cute FMV for our most recent obsession

Highly recommend giving the movie(and her video :D) a watch, it's indescribably good!

Recently watched RRR for the first time and have been unable to think about anything else so I had to make this.

If you haven’t seen RRR you very much should it is on Netflix and this little FMV doesn’t even cover the half of everything this movie has going on.

HELLO PROGRAMS!! last summer i ordered a small batch of these dudes, and now im finally listing them for sale! get one for $2 on my ko-fi :)

@bil-daddy @archangelcrowliel @docdust y'all are too funny and can drop by my Crowley pics any time ☺️ thank you bunches for the compliment!

I'll show everyone the completed version when it's you know, complete...

Oh hi there good omens fandom, did I mention I made a Bildad costume?

It's not entirely done but it was done enough to wear to a convention! There's still some things I'd like to tweak cause I'm a perfectionist and OBSESSED with his costume. Like I could write an essay on the construction alone but I digress.

It was such a blast seeing the delight on all the good omens fans faces when they spotted me, the collective love for Bildad is truly a highlight of the fandom!

Also ft. @black-mambaaaa and @mercyful-benz as turtleneck Crowley and Heaven Crowley looking like we're about to drop the hottest album of the apocalypse.

Aaaaand Heaven Crowley and I waiting on turtleneck Crowley to finish all the pics with our Aziraphale (we only had one and had to share).

The sweet @quinnznos takes our pics as always.

Ok love u bye!

This is one part of a pair of painting that I'm working on. You Good Omens fans probably already know who's on the other part.

Please click on it to see it in better resolution 😅.

This portrait took me almost a week to finish, but I had a lot of fun working on this. I'm both glad and kinda sad it's finished already.

Surprisingly the hardest part to draw is that damned phone cord and it's many coils.

My reaction to this video is just

Hey guys I did a thing.

I've been working on this since October, and I'm glad to say it's finally done. With a heavy heart I say I deeply love this show and am sad there's no renewal.

That being said, I figured we all deserve to have our own pity party. So here's my new OFMD FMV

Is this it op?

Couldn't find the art on their Tumblr, but their url is aiwa-sensei here if you wanna see more of their lovely art!

i tried to find a specific piece of fanart i saw a bit ago as a writing reference but even after combing through several tags and files i did not manage to locate it. i'm losing my mind help

so!

it's a sketch-like/line art drawing with a yellowed background, aziraphale is on his knees on the left side, crowley is sitting down on the right. aziraphale is taking care of his burned feet i think, but it might also be just washing them without the burns, i can't remember exactly.

if anyone knows which fanart i mean please let me know in whatever way. oh, and if you find something similar that's also good!

Holy forking shirtballs

I'm choosing violence today. I started this on Twitter, but I'm going to finish my thoughts here like I always do.

But what really blows my mind the most is the way that people look at Aziraphale's "choice" at the end, as if he had one to fucking begin with.

I'm sorry, but Aziraphale knows how messed up Heaven is. He told The Metatron, more than once, that he did not want to go back to Heaven! We can debate what each of us means by "choice" all night because my "choice" and your "choice" might be two different concepts. He could have been strong armed by The Metatron or he could have looked at where things were headed and realized he had no choice but to intervene himself.

You need to ask yourself what Aziraphale has a moral imperative to do.

What do we owe to each other?

Seriously, if you have not watched The Good Place, I recommend you go and watch it, because it absolutely shaped how I've viewed Good Omens 2 since its release.

My levels of frustration with the bad faith mischaracterizations of Aziraphale are off the charts. If you are blaming him for everything, implying that he should have to grovel and that Crowley has a right to hurt him back, you have missed the point of Good Omens entirely.

I defend Aziraphale, but I don't think one of them is more right or wrong than the other. They're equals. They're a group of the two of them, acting and reacting to each other throughout history. They're Alpha Centuri.

I cannot even begin to explain how fucking devastated I felt when Crowley said these words, knowing he was fighting a losing battle. What he said took a lot of courage because he's finally admitting something they've both been too scared to publicly define for 6,000 years. Crowley has had to spend so long with a rough outer shell because he fell and had to hide all of his softness.

The look on his face was one of pure joy when he created that nebula, but I think the fact that he got to share that moment with Aziraphale is what has always stuck with him.

So yeah, seeing Crowley with a broken heart at the end of "Every Day" was sad for me as well.

My brain still lives here!!

But Neil has said that Good Omens 3 is not quiet, gentle, or romantic. I imagine it's going to be more like the the first season in which they are not central to the plot. GO2 will help us make sense of how they ended up where they are when we see the bigger picture with all the other major players involved with GO3.

Aziraphale was still a soldier and accidentally got himself discorporated in his own magic circle in season one. He had a platoon waiting on him to start Armageddon, and he deserted them to go save the world with Crowley instead. Aziraphale is a deserter. I need everyone to remember that. He yeeted himself out of Heaven and sought out Crowley before even locating a body just to warn him about what was happening so they could try to save the world together.

I can't help but think of 1941 and that magician who had been arrested for being a deserter.

Aziraphale disobeyed orders. That took courage but it branded him as a traitor against Heaven. They tried to destroy him for it the same way Hell tried to destroy Crowley for his part in stopping the war.

Aziraphale and Job are the only characters we have seen interacting with God directly. Aziraphale has spoken to God before and he is determined to do so again.

Aziraphale knows Heaven is flawed, but he also knows it's supposed to be good. He wants it to be good. He does not like the way the system works and he wants to make a difference. (And I'm pretty sure he's also determined to talk to God without being intercepted by The Metatron.)

Since when is that a bad thing? I don't get it. And I've had this discussion before.

If you need to change the system by burning the old one to the ground, it's still change, and we don't know what Aziraphale has planned.

It seems to me that people just want to see Aziraphale fail because it would punish him for returning to Heaven instead of running off with Crowley.

Some of y'all take everything Aziraphale says or does and twist those things into malicious anti-Crowley actions because you think the only reason Aziraphale exists is to make Crowley happy, and if he isn't thinking only about Crowley then he's doing something wrong.

Aziraphale does not exist as a plot device to further Crowley's character. They come as a pair. They've been learning from each other for 6,000 years. Crowley challenges Aziraphale just as much as Aziraphale challenges him.

You can be mad at Aziraphale all you want, but villainizing him is gross. Defending Crowley does not mean you have to tear down and mischaracterize Aziraphale anymore than defending Aziraphale means you have to tear down Crowley (but I don't see that happen on nearly the same level it happens to Aziraphale). Stop painting Aziraphale as an abusive partner, for fuck sake.

Aziraphale knows there are flaws in the system. He wants to make a difference, and since he has seen that Gabriel can change, then maybe the whole system can. He has to at least try, and if he can succeed then maybe he and Crowley can stop hiding and finally be together without having to look over their shoulders all the time.

Why is that a bad thing? He's just as protective of Crowley as Crowley is of him!

But don't forget that Aziraphale's wing was covering Adam and Eve too. As much as a wants to protect Crowley, he has a moral imperative to keep humanity safe as well.

He sent Adam and Eve into the unknown with a flaming sword so they could protect themselves.

As much as he wants to be with Crowley, there are 8 billion people on Earth heading toward the Second Coming and Judgment Day. They'll work together to fight alongside humanity in the end. Aziraphale should not have to humiliate himself just to earn Crowley's forgiveness. That's a rancid notion.

The Resurrectionist was a whole ass moral dilemma for Aziraphale, which is why I brought up The Good Place earlier, but that's a post for a different time.

Aziraphale has his own motivations and they're just as important as Crowley's, and they don't have to be chalked up to Aziraphale being the bad guy. Weird, I know, but shades of grey.

"To the world."

Y'know this has actually been bugging me for a while now. Because in the Bible, the antichrist, the four horsemen, the Second Coming, it's all part of the same apocalypse. Maybe they didn't really stop Armageddon so much as delay it or slow it down a bit.

Watching Good Omens while working on Lilith's dress (nap time! Yay!) and something jumped out at me;

Aziraphale: Is there some other way of locating him?

Crowley: How the Heaven should I know? Armageddon only happens once, you know.

Except, that's not true. Now we're dealing with the Second Coming.

Strings tangled up in strings and I'm not sure exactly what they mean, but it is interesting.
