Good Omens
good morning folks today I am once again going feral over the final scene from A Companion To Owls and I have fucking thoughts about how Crowley has always known Heaven/Hell better than Aziraphale.
Why Thereāll Never Be Another Good Omens 2 Experience
The strangest thing happened after a few days post my watching of S2. I got a wave of real, bittersweet sadness.
Not due to the obvious ā I was dealing with that too, but with more excitement than anything ā but because I realized something, as a writer and consumer of media. I realized that itās unlikely Iāll ever get a media experience close to what I experienced at the end of Good Omens 2. Because really, its setup was absolutely unparalleled ā in general, and for myself personally.
loved one: i have a problem
me a machine built to solve problems: great hereās the solution
loved one: im so fucking emotional about the problem
me: i have the solution
loved one: i get so angry. iām frustrated
me: i am holding the solution in my hand and showing it to you
lloved one, yelling now: the universe is indifferent
me: solution
#the trick here is that the problem actually has two parts: #one part is the problem itself #the other is the emotional distress and feeling of loneliness generated by the problem
#and counterintuitively you have to take care of that second part FIRST #because otherwiseāas you point outāthey wonāt be able to absorb the solution #so step one is going āi love you iām so sorry this is happening to you i love youā and listening to them for a while
#and then once they remember that theyāre not an island of misery in a sea of nothingness #you hit them with the solution (proposed gently so that it doesnāt seem like youāre trying to shut them up about the problem) #itās probably going to feel weird to do it but I guarantee you it works
#tl;dr: when someoneās complaining about a problem itās about an 85% chance that they actually want attention sympathy and kindness #and the actual problem is something they can solveābut only once theyāve fulfilled the immediate need

Violet Evergarden is Definitely Autism-Coded, if Not Outright Autistic.
I started watching Violet Evergarden back in March, and it didnāt take long for me to notice a pattern with her behavior. As an autistic person, I donāt often get to really connect with people, or fictional characters. Thereās almost always a communication barrier, to some extent, that makes it hard for me to be comfortable around people. And fictional characters always lack something and rarely strike a chord. But with Violet? I felt a kindred spirit, almost immediately.
Iāve always felt pretty isolated from people, and media almost always feels like itās speaking to someone else. Even as a cis white dude, thereās just so much media that doesnāt speak to me even among the stuff thatās aimed at the demographics I fit into.
But this show? It was not like that at all. I finally got to see someone going through the struggles Iāve had to deal with. Someone being confused in all the ways Iāve been confused, when dealing with other people. It feels really amazing and validating to see it on screen. It was a breath of fresh air.
So, naturally, allistic (non-autistic) people feel the need to argue with me almost ever single time Iāve ever brought this up. Because god forbid autistic people get good representation, I guess?
So, I decided to compile a list of things she does throughout the show that all fall within the spectrum of behaviors and issues that are known to manifest with autistic people much more than allistic (non-autistic) ones.
And if you attempt to argue with me on this by telling me āsheās just bad at social stuff because she grew up in the woodsā, SO HELP ME.
But anyway, here are some issues that come up a LOT throughout the show in general.
- Being bad at understanding feelings. This can apply to your own feelings, or those of others.
- Having difficulties working and interacting with allistic people (non-autistic people) due to communication breakdowns.
- Frequently speaking in technical language, even when talking about mundane things like eating or sleeping.
- Taking people too literally. - Being honest to the point of being unintentionally rude.
- Relying on routines in daily life. (It takes Violet a while to stop applying military terms to everything she does).
- Obsessive interest in a small number of activities.
- Being totally oblivious to social cues that most people use to communicate things nonverbally
- Seldom expressing emotion in obvious ways; Both characters in her own show and reviewers of the series describe Violet as being emotionless, when she really never is at any point in the show. Sheās just not obvious in the wya she expresses it.
Here are some examples that come up in specific episodes.
(Episode 1)
- Becoming deeply unsettled when established routines are disrupted. (Claudia is about to leave her behind, and she has no idea what to do with herself)
- Mouthing objects (Teddy bear)
- Sometimes being very perceptive of others peopleās intentions when interacting with them.(Telling Tiffany Evergarden āI canāt replace your lost childā after she offers to let Violet stay)
Ā Ā Ā Ā The above example is a thing that be pretty armor piercing for those who arenāt self aware. Iāve dealt with this myself a variety of times, and have had to learn to NOT do this in order to avoid causing issues.
- Having a poor understanding of physical boundaries. (Undressing in front of Benedict)
- Focusing on tasks to the point of neglecting other needs well beyond what is required. (working all night without eating)
- Taking people too literally. (working all night)
- Mouthing objects again. (the Brooch)
(Episode 2)
- Being oblivious to how loud you are. (the typewriter)
- Being oblivious to other poepleās hurt feelings. (telling a crying client to stop crying)
- Having a poor understanding of physical boundaries (restraining the angry client)
- Having little to no understanding of how words communicate indirect meaning. (Violetās hilariously bad letter)
- Taking people too literally (she says āHer name is Ericaā when an angry client shouts āWho do you think you are?!ā at Erica.)
(Episode 3)
- Extremely good memory. (Violet says she remembers the introductions of all the doll students early in the episode)
- Expressing intense feelings with subtle body language and gestures, rather than with words. (squeezing her letter as the instructor explains that what she wrote is not acceptable as a letter.)
(Episode 4)
- Doesnāt understand deception.(She immediately corrects Iris several times in front of her family, when Iris attempts to exaggerate her popularity at work)
- Struggles to cooperate with requests that she doesnāt understand.(She doesnāt listen when Iris asks her to not write an invitation to the boy that turned her down, because Iris wouldnāt tell her why she didnāt want him to come.)
- Doesnāt understand discretion.(Telling Irisās family what Iris told her about her past, not realizing she was expected to keep this private.)
- Needing explanations from allistic people in order to understand what sheās done wrong. (She explicitly tells Iris āI cannot understand the problem if you donāt explain your reason.ā) If thatās not evidence enough for you, I Honestly donāt know what is. lol
āØWhy I Think Bella Swan Is On The Autism Spectrum āØ
In this post Iām going to talk about why I personally believe that Bella Swan is autistic. As an autistic person myself, I really relate to Bella and I see a lot of autistic traits in her.
Disclaimer: This is just a headcanon- I donāt think Stephenie Meyer intentionally wrote Bella as autistic, and she or the movie producers never confirmed it, so Iām not saying to everyone that she is CONFIRMED to be autistic and that every one has to see her that way, Iām just saying that I personally think she is, and thereās nothing wrong with that. Autistic people hardly have any representation in the media, and with the representation that we do have, it is almost always stereotypical, inaccurate and offensive. You do not have to agree with me on this, but just please be respectful in the comments and donāt hate :)
Ok letās go:
1. She always felt different from everyone/she felt like nobody truly understood her and that she never really understood anyone either: this is what basically all autistic people feel, myself included. Feeling like nobody understands the way your brain works and the way you see the world. (And this is true, because autistic people do see the world differently than non- autistic people and autistic peoples brains are wired differently from non- autistic brains). Bella mentions this multiple times in the books and movies, at one point in the first book in the car with Edward, she tells him that she thinks he canāt read her mind because theyāre a probably a glitch in her brain and that itās not like other peopleās. There is also this quote from the 1st chapter of twilight which sums up how she feels: ā Facing my pallid reflection in the mirror, I was forced to admit that I was lying to myself. It wasnāt just physically that Iād never fit in. And if I couldnāt find a niche in a school with three thousand people, what were my chances here? I didnāt relate well to people my age. Maybe the truth was that I didnāt relate well to people, period. Even my mother, who I was closer to than anyone else on the planet, was never in harmony with me, never on exactly the same page. Sometimes I wondered if I was seeing the same things through my eyes that the rest of the world was seeing through theirs. Maybe there was a glitch in my brainā.
2. Her motor skills: Sheās constantly tripping over her own feet, has bad balance, doesnāt realize that sheās walking into things, constantly dropping things ect, a common thing for autistic people is to have poor motor skills and find it hard to navigate their body.
Another disclaimer about autism: not ever autistic person is the exact same, every autistic person expresses their autism in a slightly different way, for example, some autistic people are overly sensitive to sound, and some are under-sensitive to it, these are just the specific things Iāve noticed for Bella in this post, itās not supposed to be a generalization of autism in any way! :)
3. Social disinterest and difficultly: all throughout her childhood and her time in forks, she wasnāt very interested in making friends or hanging out or going to parties, and she found that she could never make friends with someone easily, she just never fully clicked with someone. She did have some very nice friends in forks, however she never related to them too well or was very attached to them.
4. Dresses for comfort and not fashion: Bella typically dresses in what feels most comfortable for her, not what is the most fashionable thing, this is a common thing with autism. A lot of autistic people like myself are quite sensitive to clothing and fabric and will not tolerate uncomfortable clothing.
5. Limited interests/special interests: Bella doesnāt really have many interests, but the ones she does have, sheās very passionate about. A special interest is an autism-specific term used to describe interests and hobbies that autistic people have that are very important to them. They help regulate emotions, calm people down, provide escapism ect. Autistic people can hyper fixate on these interests for hours and hours and not get bored, they can get so engrossed that they forget to do basic tasks to take care of themselves like drinking or going to the bathroom. These interests can last for years, sometimes a lifetime and they are very important to autistics. Bella swans special interests would be reading, wuthering heights, and vampires. Bella says in midnight sun that she has loved reading all her life and it is one of the few things that bring her intense joy. She said she could read for hours at a time and would try to sneak books into her lessons and read any chance she could get. Bella says that her favorite book is wuthering heights and she has read it so many times that it is beaten up beyond repair and the spine is so cracked that the book lays flat. This would clearly be her special interest. Her other special interest is clearly vampires.
6. Burnouts and meltdowns when Edward leaves: when Edward left in new moon, Bella obviously fell into a huge depression, but I also think she fell into an autistic burnout (if you donāt know what that is pls research or ask me cause this post is already too goddamn long). And in eclipse, when Edward leaves to go home in the afternoon or to go hunting, she can barely focus without him and gets very anxious (this is obviously because she loves him and is literally obsessed with him lol, but I also think it could be a meltdown from separation anxiety and also a change in routine (a lot of autistics get very upset when their usual routine is disrupted or changed))
7. Sensitive to sounds: In the book, often Bella cannot concentrate or fall asleep because of little sounds like the rain, sometimes it takes ages for her to sleep because the rain or tapping is too distracting. (This is a common autistic struggle).
8. Stims & facial twitches & stuttering: in the movie, she is constantly stuttering over her words, and her face and body twitches a lot. She also stims a lot in the book by playing with her hair or sleeves or the zip of her jacket, or her hands or edwards hands. She also covers some of her face with her hair, this could be to do with sensory overload, seeing too much in her field of vision may be overwhelming for her, like a lot of autistics.
9. Trouble expressing feelings/ thoughts: bella struggles a lot sometimes with communication and telling people how she feels. You can see this in her relationship with Charlie. They both love eachother very much but they never say it and when they do it comes out very awkward and sometimes they use the wrong words. You can also see this when she is hesitant to tell Edward in eclipse when she doesnāt want him to leave for the fight, it takes her ages to work up to telling someone how she feels. She also tends to be quite private. This is common for some autistics to feel.
10. Sensory experiences: bella loves the sun and heat, she says that she loves feeling the sun seep into her skin- a lot of autistics feel the sensory world very strongly and love certain sensations and detest others. When Bella moves to forks, she hates the sudden change in weather and gets anxious and upset at the feel of the cold, and the rain against her skin. This links back to my other point where I was talking about how autistics fear sudden changes in routine. Bella is very relieved when thereās a sunny day in forks and goes and sits outside, savouring the weather which reminds her of home.
11. Not too concerned with how she looks: obviously not every autistic person is like this, but quite a few autistics donāt really focus on how they look/present and what they wear. They donāt really know about the social norms and what other people wear so they do what they want. This is something I often see in Bella in the books especially.
12. More quiet/ reserved and socially withdrawn and awkward: this is basically self explanatory. Bella is very well known for this. I touch a bit more on this in point 3.
If you made it this far then thank you so much! This took a long ass time to write and Iāve been thinking of making this post for months. There are more things that make me headcanon her as autistic, but these are just from the top of my head. When I re-read the series (for like the 100th time lol) later this year, Iāll annotate the book so that I can update this post in the future with more supporting this).
Again this is just my opinion and my personal headcanon, it is not factual (but Iād obviously want it to be canon) so please no hate :)
If you have any more things to add on then please do!! Iād love to hear your thoughts!
i started playing final fantasy xiv and i really like it!! iāve been doodling moments and memories
i was curious what the other side of the moon looked like so i googled it and
iām so glad we got the side we did the moonās ass ugly
Youāre so rude to Miss Moon the reason her ass is so fucked up is cuz sheās protecting us from meteors. Her face is beautiful so her ass can be disgusting and we can be safe.
This is a theater stage for a play
no thats a boss battle
This is the Bregenzer Festspiele opera house, and itās worth noting that this is not a one-off. Every single one of their productions looks like a boss battle and/or smash bros stage
These are all horrifying. Thanks for sharing

the sheer amount of artistic talent put into these panels to portray the right feeling on clarkās face is amazing
None of the images in the notes look like eachother but they all look like Clark wtf
Every time this graces my dash I canāt help but laugh until Iām on the verge of tears
This is why sheās my favorite author.
Check out āBarry Lyndonā, a film whose period interiors were famously shot by period lamp-and-candle lighting (director Stanley Kubrick had to source special lenses with which to do it).
More recently, some scenes in āWolf Hallā were also shot with period live-flame lighting and IIRC until they got used to it, actors had to be careful how they moved across the sets. However, itās very atmospheric: thereās one scene where Cromwell is sitting by the fire, brooding about his association with Henry VIII while the candles in the room are put out around him. The effect is more than just visual.
As someone (I think it was Terry Pratchett) once said: āYou always need enough light to see how dark it is.ā
A demonstration of getting that out of balance happened in later seasons of āGame of Thronesā, most infamously in the complaint-heavy āBattle of Winterfellā episode, whose cinematographer claimed the poor visibility was because āa lot of people donāt know how to tune their TVs properlyā.
So it was nothing to do with him at all, oh dear me no. Wottapillock. Needing to retune a TV to watch one programme but not others shows where the fault lies, and itās not in the TV.
*****
We live in rural West Wicklow, Ireland, and itās 80% certain that when we have a storm, a branch or even an entire tree will fall onto a power line and our lights will go out.
Usually the engineers have things fixed in an hour or two, but that can be a long dark time in the evenings or nights of October through February, so we always know where the candles and matches are and the oil lamp is always full.
We also know from experience how much reading can be done by candle-light, and itās more than youād think, once thereās a candle right behind you with its light falling on the pages.
You get more light than youād expect from both candles and lamps, because for one thing, eyes adapt to dim light. @dduaneā says she can sometimes hear my irises dilating. Yeah, sureā¦
For another thing lamps can have accessories. Hereās an example: reflectors to direct light out from the wall into the room. Iāve tried this with a shiny foil pie-dish behind our own Very Modern Swedish Design oil lamp, and it works.
Smooth or parabolic reflectors concentrate their light (for a given value of concentrate, which is a pretty low value at that) while flatter fluted ones like these scatter the light over a wider area, though itās less bright as a result:
This candle-holder has both a reflector and a magnifying lens, almost certainly to illuminate close or even medical work of some sort rather than light a room.
And then thereās this, which a lot of people saw and didnāt recognise, because itās often described in tones of librarian horror as a beverage in the rare documents collection.
There IS a beverage, thatās in the beaker, but the spherical bottle is a light magnifier, and Gandalf would arrange a candle behind it for close study.
Hereās one being used - with a lightbulb - by a woodblock carver.
And hereās the effect it produces.
Hereās a four-sphere version used with a candle (all the fittings can be screwed up and down to get the candle and magnifiers properly lined up) and another one in use by a lacemaker.
Finally, hereās something I tried last night in our own kitchen, using a water-filled decanter. Itās not perfectly spherical so didnāt create the full effect, but it certainly impressed me, especially since Iād locked the camera so its automatic settings didnāt change to match light levels.
This is the effect with candles placed ānormallyā.
But when one candle is behind the sphere, this happens.
Ā It also threw a long teardrop of concentrated light across the worktop; the photos of the woodcarver show that much better.
Poor-people lighting involved things like rushlights or tallow dips. They were awkward things, because they didnāt last long, needed constant adjustment, didnāt give much light and were smelly. But they were cheap, and thatās what mattered most.
Theyāre often mentioned in historical and fantasy fiction but seldom explained: a rushlight is a length of spongy pith from inside a rush plant, dried then dipped in tallow (or lard, or mutton-fat), hence both its names.
Hereās Jason Kingsley making one.
