Y'all Understood The Assignment 😭😭😭

touch the pretty thing

editor's note - chapter 4/5

[slaps chapter] this baby can fit so much gay panic in it

“It’s not so bad, when you’re not drenched in it,” Crowley thought aloud. Aziraphale gave him a doubtful look over the top of his glass, so he doubled down. “Kind of romantic, really. Like a Richard Curtis film.” Aziraphale followed his gaze to a window streaked with endless drizzle. He watched for a moment, took a delicate sip of Tempranillo, then hummed a complacent sigh. “I suppose so.”

Reblogging again with more details/episodes because I've been coping with election stress by hyperfixating on HB :3

S1E5: THE HARVEST MOON

16:00: A ticking clock when Striker escapes after trying to shoot Stolas. There’s a shot of Blitz staring out the window in horror and then of Stolas at the festival.

S1E6: TRUTH SEEKERS

The first ticking clock in the intro screen.

3:32 (and a bit before): There’s a clock in the room Blitz and Moxxie are held in by D.H.O.R.K..

S2E1: THE CIRCUS

21:13: After Stolas says, “We are getting the DIVORCE,” while Stella says “How dare you,” the clock starts ticking.

S2E3: EXES AND OOHS

19:00: When Moxxie stands up to Crim there’s a clock in the background (like OP said)

S2E4: WESTERN ENERGY

2:38: Immediately after Stolas says the iconic “Oh shit, am I in danger right now?” after Striker destroys Stolas's phone, when the camera cuts back to Blitz, there’s a clock ticking in the background

S2E6: OOPS

Oh, there's so much in this episode. This episode is kinda weird because there’s a clock (as in the literary device) in the story (e.g., you have until midnight to sign the forms). So some of the clock imagery in Oops might be due to emphasizing the amount of time Fizz has left.

5:22: There’s a clock in Crim’s office when he’s talking to Striker

6:43: The clock starts ticking when it’s time for Ozzie’s appointment with Stolas. Then, when the camera goes to Stolas, there’s a clock behind him and the clock is ticking in the background. Side note but this is the first time we see him after Western Energy. Blitz go give the sad owl a hug. Anyway, this specific scene gets to me because the clock behind Stolas is so prominent and the ticking is so LOUD.

9:08: During the ransom video, Crim draws a clock that starts ticking and then it hits Stolas in the face…

THAT'S not ominous at all...

16:38: This is the second time we come back to the attorney, Stolas, and Ozzie. Stolas is talking, the clock is ticking in the background, and Ozzie is checking his watch. This might just be part of emphasizing the clock in the episode and less of the OVERALL clock though

I don't have the mental capacity to rewatch The Full Moon or Apology Tour rn. I also may be missing some from other episodes.

What I find interesting is that there's no ticking clock in Truth Seekers other than the intro, or in C.H.E.R.U.B. Every ticking clock noise I've heard has been associated with Striker and Crimson, who, for the record, may still be working together. I think it's a sign that Striker and Crimson are going to make a reappearance. They've got beef with Stolas, Blitz, and M&M.

Hey anyone wanta help my conspiracy brain with the ticking clock noise? 😁

Soph pointed out that the ticking clock turns up, at the moment Moxxie goes against his dad's wishes.

So I'm now trolling through the other episodes from True Seekers onwards, (cus no start of ep ticking before that), to see if it's in the background elsewhere.

Guessing it'll be when each of them makes an enemy. Because that seems to link to it speeding up.

Someone want to help?

do you ever re-read your own wips like 'damn the bitch that wrote this oughta finish it'

SO WHAT?

IM GLAD SOMEONE ELSE NOTICED THIS HE KEPT FUCKING PULLING THEM OFF?? I'm definitely going to have more to say about this and the fucking gold feathers later but I need to stop shaking first

Hey, why could Blitz pull off his magical bonds and gag multiple times? Just curious.....

ideas for Stolitz animations

everyone who follows me can suggest their ideas for Stolitz animations under this post

the visit south downs shirt is so good omg

So I'm starting on a new endeavor.

Life is weird, and I feel stuck, listless, uninspired - it's partially why I can't finish UTSS right now. Life outside of fandom is feeling awful. So I'm taking a leap. I'm starting a craft business. I've done design and such in art school, so I figured why not just give it a shot; maybe doing something fun for me will kickstart my inspiration again.

Over the next month, I will be launching an online store, hosted for now through Etsy, featuring a few Good Omens-inspired shirt and mug designs. Eventually I will be branching off into other fandoms, including Our Flag Means Death, Doctor Who, World of Warcraft, etc. This will be US only for the time being.

This is scary, but I need to stop being stuck. (White Rabbit, Red Rabbit definitely made me think about my life lol)

Just want to get this off my chest now, considering the tension between Octavia and Stolas is very likely to reach a boiling point within the next two episodes.

Please do not demonize (pun not intended) Octavia if she ends up snapping at Stolas and ends up potentially cutting him out of her life temporarily or whatever happens. I am begging you all.

She is a 17 year old who has grown up in a very unstable home, who has been abused by her mother, (Yes, Stella abusing Stolas counts as child abuse, even more so considering in s1 e2, Stella just openly abuses Stolas in front of Octavia, not even trying to hide it anymore.)

who is going through a very messy divorce she practically knows nothing about, (such as the fact Stella and Stolas were arranged, for example.), which has suddenly and massively just upturned her life, and I wouldn't be surprised if she's being manipulated by Andrealphus and Stella, considering they have a very strong motive to do so. Plus, she doesn't know anywhere near the full extent of how abusive Stella is and has been.

So please, when the tension between Octavia and Stolas reaches it's boiling point, do not demonize the 17 year old who doesn't know all that much about the situation she's in. I promise you all, she will come around eventually and realize that Stolas does love her, that Stella is the abuser and that Stolas is in her corner, even if Stolas isn't perfect about it, as she grows and matures more.

You know what? I’m done grieving. I want Stolas to have a gun.
