“Why’d we end up here? Who’re these people?”
“I think…” Aziraphale said slowly. “They’re us.”
“What?”
“They’re us,” Aziraphale repeated. He was standing by the bookshelf, holding a thick stack of unbound paper in his hands and flipping through it with a stunned look on his face.

Do you ever lie awake wondering how the heck Gimli knows what a nervous system is
Clearly dwarves have medical knowledge far more advanced than that of the other races.
His Majesty Dr. Gimli, son of Gloin, Neurosurgeon, M.D.
gimli trying to explain his studies to legolas, a flat-earther
#*scroll down* #*remember that middle earth is canonically flat for elves and round for everyone else* #*scroll back up & smash that reblog button"
tired: legolas took gimli to valinor with him because they were bffs/in love/etc.
wired: legolas took gimli to valinor to prove the world was flat after arguing with him about it for decades
Sorry it’s what to elves
So, in Tolkein lore, the world was originally flat, with most of the land in the middle (hence Middle Earth). But the Numenorians (men who were rewarded with their own Atlantis-equivalent island for service in the first big war against Melkor, but eventually Power Corrupts etc) tried to invade the uttermost west which was basically Elf Heaven. To put an end to that sort of thing, the creator of the world Bent The World and made it a sphere…but left elves able to treat it like a flat disk. So elves can sail west and reach Elf Heaven, but a man or dwarf or hobbit who sails west will eventually wrap around to the east coast of Middle Earth.
ok i’ve been curious about something. can you name a character who is, all three at once,
1. canonically female (no variation)
2. canonically the protagonist of her story (if it’s an ensemble cast you have to say you can legitimately see her as The main character)
3. your personal #1 favorite character in that story (ties are acceptable)
?
yes
no

you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression
For the requests.
Michaels? All of them? Shelley, Distortion and Crew? Please?

never forget the universal rule of the order of things: People Will Not Read It
signs at stores? émail? menu ?? instruction ? post online ? caption with andswer to question ? group hand outs ??? street sign ??? no. The Written Word Is The Enemy
#The number of compliments i have gotten for reading a thing
The ability to occasionally Read A Thing will make you a hero in your workplace, especially if it is for example an error message that tells you what you need to do differently, or instructions on unjamming a printer.
how dare you say we put jam in the printer
Ok reblogging this again because story time.
I work in tech, and much of what I do is support sales reps within the company by resolving errors with the software they use.
There is one sales rep who, every single time I send her a message or email with extremely specific instructions that will resolve her issue, does something completely different from what I tell her. Every time. Without fail. It is so glaringly obvious that she has never read even a single word that I have written to her.
So one day, she sends me a message that says little more than "(software) is broken, help"
So I do my standard song and dance of asking her what she's trying to accomplish, and what specifically is stopping her from doing that. And eventually, after much unnecessary back and forth, she tells me there's an error message. I ask her to send me a screenshot of the error message. She does.
The error message basically says, "these two required fields are blank. To resolve this, please fill in these two specific fields, and then click save."
So I take a few deep breaths.
Then I lie to her.
I message her back, saying "hey yeah, for some reason it's not loading that screenshot on my end. Could you type out the full text of the error message for me?"
She does.
I ask her if she still needs help.
She does not respond.
I have similar story from tech support.
Client is reporting that Some Thing Program doesn't work. I ask if there's an error message with further information about what's not working. Client says "no". I go over and ask Client to open Some Thing. Client double-clicks on the icon for Some Thing, it starts to boot, an error message dialog flashes up on screen, Client closes error message before I can read it, Thing closes after the error.
"What did that error message say?" I ask.
"What error message?" asks Client.
I tell Client to open the Some Thing again and then not click anything else. Client opens Some Thing, error message appears, Client clicks it away again.
I tell Client to stand up, step away, and give me physical control of the computer. I open Some Thing, start looking at the error message without closing it, and Client says "You should close that." I tell Client that I am reading the error message. Client is apparently accustomed to treating error messages as a kind of spam email that should be deleted as fast as possible, and gets agitated that I'm reading it.
I read the error message. It tells me what the problem is. I fix the problem. Some Thing works now.
---
Later, I start thinking about how such an error message might perhaps be engineered to be more attention-grabbing and close-resistant as a way of making people read it. It's not important for some random program here, but there are more important systems (medical, etc) where it would be reasonable to demand the user's attention because people's lives depend on paying attention to the error message.
But then people with a perverted intellect would still be thinking about ways to avoid reading the message, like dragging it off edge of screen or hiding it behind another window. So maybe the dialog box could have an always-in-front feature to override other windows, and the alert could use the computer's hardware "beep" functionality that can't be switched off by muting the regular sound system, and keep beeping... shit, I realize I'm reinventing pain, and get philosophical about it.
Story from The Past about My Mum:
She was a computer programmer / analyst, a... Long Time Ago. Called in for a system she'd installed before, the office folk said they kept having problems where it Didn't Work Right (no error, a malfunction)
She investigated, and told them that could only happen if they did 3 specific things in a specific order, which they should not ever do.
So, she asked, did they ever do that?
No! Of course not, was the answer.
So she made a couple of small changes, packed up and said that should be fine, but they should call her if there were problems.
The next week
She had a call saying "We're getting a strange error message on the system, can you help?"
She said, of course, can they tell her the error?
And the message was:
"You Said You Didn't Do This"
I don't think I'm going to word this thought coherently but it keeps coming back to rattle around in my brain so I think I have to try, and this thought is: Good Omens TV season 3 could have been so, so good and had such a satisfying ending if they'd just ballsed up and canonized a multiverse.
I'm half convinced they were trying to make it a multiverse too, but they tried to be too coy about it and ended up with it ~left up to viewer interpretation~ which in this case really, really didn't work for them. Yes, I know the GO God famously never answers questions, but GO is also famously about dealing with the world as it is and not trying to start it over better again. One of those things has to break, and I think God's characterization would have been a better one to crack than the actual core of the story.
Just. Thematically, the idea that the entire world gets erased and started over doesn't jive with the previous iterations of the story. But it can be made to work, with one extra little bit of detail: there are other worlds. There are infinite worlds. The Trousers of Time are well and truly legging it, and every decision you make creates another you, elsewhere, who makes a different one. Free will has no true meaning, in the end, because even though you can make choices - the paths you do not take are still taken by another you, somewhere else.
There is already a Book Of Life, telling the story of everything that ever has or will happen. Give us God-As-The-Author - not just of this book, but of all of them, for every universe. Every possible sequence of events, everything that can happen, and must therefore happen somewhere.
Why create a world only to destroy it? It's a thing that can happen, and therefore it must. And, elsewhere, there's a world that isn't destroyed, because that can and must happen, too.
There's a world that was ended by Adam at the airbase. There's a world where Gabriel and Beelzebub got everyone killed over a misunderstanding when they tried to run away. There's a world where everything was destroyed when Michael burned the Book, because no pages were saved. And now there will be two more worlds, one where everything is brought back, just the way it was, and one where it all ends, here and now, after this conversation. And it's up to you, little angel and demon, to decide which one you want to be yours, because another version of you will make the other choice, and both will be as real as each other.
With this information, Crowley and Aziraphale’s choice isn't about erasing everything and starting over, it's about beginning something new. It's saying: No. Let there be a third choice. One world that you bring back, one that you end - and let that be ours, we are ready for it - and one that you never touch. One world where free will is real, where choices have meaning, where when you make a decision, you have to live with it, because there is no other you to make a different one. One universe, free from the ineffablity of the multiverse, that exists wholly and entirely on its own.
And God says yes.
And the show still ends the same way. Anthony and Asa exist, and meet, because when it comes down to it Aziraphale and Crowley are God's favorite blorbos and there was no way they were making a universe without them, but they are the only versions of themselves who ever exist, and every choice they make is a real one - no other chances, no other universes where they can live a different life.
The Aziraphale and Crowley we have been following are gone. But, in a universe a little to the left, there's another them who chose to have everything brought back, and are continuing their lives in blissful retirement. Slightly beyond that is a world where Michael never got their hands on the Book in the first place, and beyond that there's one where Aziraphale was never an Archangel, and beyond that the original novel universe lives, and the radio play, and the musical, and all the fanfiction... each just as real, and as true a universe as the last. Everything has to happen somewhere, after all.
And in the end credits, we peek into these other universes, just briefly, and see our angel and demon finding each other, time after time.

Wild Asters
by Sara Teasdale
In the spring I asked the daisies If his words were true, And the clever, clear-eyed daisies Always knew.
Now the fields are brown and barren, Bitter autumn blows, And of all the stupid asters Not one knows.
The Last Laugh
by Wilfred Owen
'O Jesus Christ! I’m hit,’ he said; and died. Whether he vainly cursed or prayed indeed, The Bullets chirped — In vain, vain, vain! Machine-guns chuckled — Tut-tut! Tut-tut! And the Big Gun guffawed.
Another sighed, — ‘O Mother, — mother, — Dad!’ Then smiled at nothing, childlike, being dead. And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud Leisurely gestured, — Fool! And the splinters spat, and tittered.
‘My Love!’ one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood, Till slowly lowered, his whole face kissed the mud. And the Bayonets’ long teeth grinned; Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned; And the Gas hissed.
