FINISHED THE VAMP AU OUTLINE AT 20K

bc i'm insatiable for teasers, here's a snippet from every chapter 👀

"That was— fuckin' hell. That was something," Crowley muttered against him. It turned quickly into a laugh. "Maybe file your nails next time."

“Dick that good, huh?” she smirked. Crowley dropped his head onto the counter and groaned into his mask. It was new, slightly softer than the plain and scratchy N95s, with black-on-black snakes slithering all over it. If he was going to be sick, he might as well do it with style. “You have no idea.”

“Darling, I can’t,” Aziraphale scoffed. “You’re warded, you imbecile. I couldn’t befuddle you even if I wanted to.” The flat fell into a strained silence, punctured by their heavy gasps for breath. “...Befuddle?” Crowley leered.

Aziraphale loosened his grip around Crowley’s hips, wincing as he pried bloodied nails out of the tears in his jeans. Then he paused when his eyes fell to his hands, and he let out a strange noise. “Well that’s certainly an interesting reaction,” he murmured at the enormous swell in Crowley’s trousers. “Yeah, thanks for bringing that up.”

i’d like to report that i am still in the depths of hell

my inspiration for this fic faded months ago but my desire to finish it has not

i’ve been writing this fic since january and i’m only 50 pages in it’s constantly on my mind which is insane bc im pretty sure my good omens hyperfixation ended a couple weeks ago (i still love it, the obsession has just gone away)

this stupid fic is never not on my mind but i can’t get myself to write it im in the depths of hell rn

I love how much you love what you do here. Enjoying your work and seeing you exist makes me happy andIamonthediscordbutI'mshysoIlurksometimes

I know we all think Aziraphale is gonna come back from heaven dearly missing wine and food and good music but I think he's gonna come back and immediately crawl under a blanket because he is severely overstimulated by the fucking Big Light energy in heaven.

Those fluorescent overhead lights and the sheer brightness of this place absolutely do not mesh with the autisms, I mean look at his bookshop!! Dim and muted. Poor thing

Couldn’t resist, as soon as I saw the suit I had to draw the pookie 🥺🌟

hi bilv!

i’m curious, do u ever go back and reread your own works? for me, i can be suuuper critical of my writing during the process and it’s rly interesting revisiting old projects several months later and realizing “huh. these actually don’t suck.” just wondering what it’s like for you!

hope you’re having a lovely day :)

I DOOOO. i love my stories a lot and i write what i want to read, so i've reread my fics to hell and back 😂 usually only when i first finish them tho

i'm kind of the opposite, i get so into flow that i like pretty much everything i'm writing, but when i come back to it later i find everything wrong with it. it makes it hard for me to feel confident about my earlier stories, so i rarely promo Black Vitrum knowing the prose is objectively much weaker than what i write now 😩

i have a spreadsheet for every fic ive read this year and its all categorized by like a dozen dif things it’s my pride and joy

The Ineffable Detective Agency presents: Decoding 1941 Hell – The Hidden Morse Messages

The Good Omens team never fails to surprise us: In the Hell scenes set in 1941, there are subtle beeps in the background that many might have missed: morse code messages! 

We took the time to decode these messages from about 5 minutes of the show – some parts are easy to identify, some parts are really hard due to overlying sounds or noises. 

We used the 5.1 audio and selected only the channel with the morse signals. Check out an easy snippet – which line is it? :)

Then, we applied high- and low-pass filters to emphasize the code’s pitch around 1360 Hz. Some of us have pretty sharp ears, some of us worked with the frequency spectra to mark short and long signals as well as pauses in between. 

Here is what we have heard or seen, together with some facts and thoughts on the lines. Let us know what you think!

S2E4 06:19 to 08:23 “Have a miserable eternity”

Here are the pieces we have successfully decoded: 

HAVE A DREADFUL ETERNITY

We are wondering why this is different to the text via loudspeaker as well as Furfur’s “have a miserable eternity”...

TOMMY’S A LEGEND

Do we know a Tommy?

1) There's the Welsh magician/comedian Tommy Cooper (his magical act specialized in magic tricks that appeared to fail), who was the inspiration for the red fez in the magic shop. Cooper died live on television suffering a heart attack. :(

2) There's also the lead character Tommy in Brigadoon, the plot of which feels seriously GO-coded. There is a magic village hidden outside time that only appears in Scotland once every 100 years and is connected to the rest of the world with a bridge, outsiders who find "clues about the village and its people that make no sense", and a plot about unlikely lovers who are separated (because one "can't just leave everything in the real world behind"), and an ending that reunites the lovers against all odds because of the strength of their love ("I told ye, if you love someone deeply enough, anything is possible ... even miracles.")

PAUL’S OUR MIXING HERO

Could that be the Re-Recording Mixer PAUL McFADDEN?

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION ABAN

The phrase "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" is a quote from Dante’s Inferno, Prelude to Hell, Canto III, Vestibule of Hell: Dante passes through the gate of Hell, which bears an inscription ending with the phrase "Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate". So, the minisode is THE place where we get quotes from the two most famous literary accounts of Hell – with Furfur's quotation of Paradise Lost in the dressing room at the Windmill Theater: "In dubious battle on the Plains of Heaven". 

S2E4 09:16 to 10:09 “Processing the Nazis”

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION

S2E4 11:07 - 13:12: “The offer to return as Zombies”

These two minutes are very tricky: while in the first half it is ok-ish to identify the signals in the spectrum, the second half is overlaid by so much noise… – yes, we are calling the dialogues and sounds in hell noise now :D – that we chose a different approach. 

It looked as if the sequence starts from the beginning, so we compared both parts, and now we are quite sure that it is the same pattern. 

DO NOT LICK THE WALLS HEAVEN LOOKS DOWN ON YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE PATHETIC ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION DO NOT LICK THE WALLS HEAVEN LOOKS DOWN ON YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE PATHETIC ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE CHEER UP IT’S ONLY ETERNAL DAMNATION DO NOT LICK THE WALLS HEAVEN LO …

So those are the sections we are pretty certain we have correct. However, there is one section we are still unsure on - maybe you can help?

Back to S2E4 06:19 to 08:23

We have been fighting hard with the first six seconds, before “HAVE A DREADFUL ETERNITY” and we think it is:

SHE’S IN MA PHONE

Who are we talking about now?

Do you have any other ideas of what this could be? If it is “She’s in ma phone”, what does that mean? Or is the S just noise and it starts with an H? Or even with a B – BE’S IN MA PHONE?

So, what are your thoughts on all of these messages? Why go to the effort of putting morse code here? Is it a fun easter egg, or something more? And why say “dreadful eternity” in morse when the quote used in the show is “miserable eternity”? We have so many questions!

Spoiler: There is more code hidden throughout the series.  Let us know what you see or hear!
