ragingly extrovertic adhder, my friends call me a ray of sunshine or a high golden retriever. ducks are awesome. also I love gouda cheese. fandoms: too many
(ok I’m just going to be upfront and say I don’t know if I understand this concept fully and if I’m using it correctly- so like if this like wildly wrong pls tell me and then we can both forget this happened lol)
So a neat little thing Good Omens did for the promo for s2 was create some character playlist.
Very quickly though it was discovered that each and every one of them contained a hidden clue word. By taking the first letter of the first word of the song a word related to the character would emerge. For the two examples below the words were “Ineffable” and “Tempting”.
Now this technique is called Acrostic,
Acrostic - a composition usually in verse in which sets of letters (such as the initial or final letters of the lines) taken in order form a word or phrase or a regular sequence of letters of the alphabet
it’s a technique mostly seen in poems to contain hidden words, often the authors name.
but I wouldn’t be bringing this back up if it wasn’t for nothing and that’s because we see this technique in the show as well.
When Jim is really embodying his role as Assistant Bookseller he takes it upon himself to reorganize the books by the first letter of the first word of the first sentence - sounds familiar.
Except he’s doing alphabetically not to contain a hidden word you say? 
Well hold on to that real quick while I point out another clue Jimbriel says,
“There will come a tempest, and darkness, and great storms. And the dead will leave their graves and walk the earth once more. And there will be great lamentations."
Well now that I brought that quote back to your attention we are just going to focus on one particular word, Lamentations.
because what if I told you that the first four poems in the Book of Lamentations are written in an acrostic style.
Not just any style either but where each poetic verse begins with a letter of the Hebrew Alphabet. 
Now the Book of Lamentations is separated into five poems from different pov’s about the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C. by the Babylonians.
The organization and rigid structure to the first four poems was really meant to contrast from the grief and disorder the people were going through. Structure that the last poem loses. Hm Interesting.
(we are not going to be looking into what this book is about I am just pointing out structure similarities here)
Expect this not the only way this structure can be used.
Acrostic structure’s are also often used as a mnemonic device. This is a learning technique that helps with memory retrieval or retention by associating things with something easier to remember, like say trigger words.
So then is it really a surprise that Jim, our Amnesiac Archangel, keeps using this structure subconsciously?
Pandora definitely makes flower crowns and hands them out to everyone. And “everyone” obviously incudes her twin brother, so there are plenty of days in the spring and summer where Evan’s just walking around with a flower crown on his head. If you comment on it, though, you will be hexed. Except for Barty, because he has special privileges. And because his comments are just saying how pretty Evan looks in his flower crown and how badly Barty wants to kiss him :3
Thanks to all of you for supporting it by hearting, commenting, reblogging and following.
I am really happy you are enjoying it and it is amazing to see people from numerous fandoms just having fun with my content.
I know I don't have much of it yet (I only just started) but the feedback is always wonderful and helps a lot!
I haven't got any asks yet, so don't be shy and ask dumbest stuff- mostly I'm somewhere in a corner reading a book, I'd love to get some questions from you (doesn't have to be anything special, just have fun)
