I'm so down bad for Maddox and Ashlyn that my three favourite scenes are:

3. The Redlyn breakup - the chillest break up, Red supporting Ashlyn going after Maddox and the most insane storyline of Red realising he's bi because he kisses Seb

2. Just the entirety of Maddox during opening night - having an existential breakdown over your love life that you break the sound controls and then just give up on your stage manager duties and disappear (probably to help quinn)

1. The confession - a scene I want on repeat: the explanations of how afraid they are of how much they like the other then the "should we just stay friends?" Before having such a love induced make out their just completely ignore Carlos being there. (Also Maddison giving up and telling Maddox to stop coming back to her when she clearly likes Ashlyn... my baby just needed that push)

I love all my queer children but these two are the wlw so I love them just slightly more.

#the hilarity of EJ seeing Maddox so focused on Ash that she forgot his question at the end of s3 that he immediately went and #CARVED THEIR NAMES INTO A TREE WITH HEART TO SHOW THEM WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER #i love them all #also i will not take arguments about the most crack storyline #Seb and Red kissing came out of no where and hit me like a metal chair #the french guy not actually being french and liking red felt right in my soul #granted i literally dont remember s2 and barely recognised him nevermind remember anything that happened between him and Ash #and jared(?) was just annoying #he showed up ruined madlyn first kiss admitted he liked carlos and then disappeared #its definitely a season i will rewatch at some point soon maybe as well as season 3 #hsmtmts #high school musical #madlyn #maddox x ashlyn #ashlyn caswell #hsmtmts season 4 #high school musical the musical the series #im sad its the end i wish i could have an entire season of just madlyn fluff #but im happy with two seasons of pinning and a brilliant confession

i think its cute here that dean's trying to convince himself (sam also, but mostly himself) that sam isn't capable of murder and is good and won't turn evil when in approximately nine episodes dean fully covers up a grisly murder that, to his knowledge, sam committed. no hesitation, no thoughts of 'shit sam's evil, gonna have to stop him', nothing. just fully throws away whatever moral line he's trying to set here bc its sam and there is no core belief that surpasses him

#the amount of close up shots of them looking at each other is getting ridiculous #but i also hope they never stop #this is one of my fav episodes for sure #i love the whole psychic kids storyline and i'm so sad it like died after s2 #heinous actually #emma rewatches spn #2x5 simon said #spn #wincest #samdean

somefubu !!!! :DDD

who doesn't like them seriously, complete opposites yet sincere mutual trust, they just would KNOW how to love each other

#i wrote pages and pages of fanfics about them #in this house we love and appreciate scary yet hardworking delinquent types like someoka ryuugo #also S2 fubuki storyline is one of the best of this fucking anime #the fact that wyvern blizzard was only used ONCE is a fucking crime and i'll die on this hill #inazuma eleven #inazuma 11 #inazuma japan #my art #i love them so much #fubuki shirou #someoka ryuugo #somefubu

ugh i really am kind of fucking devastated about shadow and bone. it's not even about wanting to see specific book moments with specific blorbos, even tho there were in fact So Many storylines that the varying actors never got to play with the way they deserved to..... i just.

i liked the writing so much.

:(

#like i have the books i don't need to see a 1 to 1 of the book stuff on the screen. I Read Them Already #but it was SUCH a joy to see how creatively pieces of book canon were being fleshed out and updated and rearranged #you could TELL how much the writers and directors love storytelling and love this story specifically and now. :(. #luv what s2 did for-fucking-ever tho. For-Fucking-Ever. i dont care that every single storyline was left unresolved #WHATTA SANDBOX. i guess this means i have free rein to write 'dark alina has two hands' fic #that does cheer me. no canon hollywood thing would involve polyamory bc we arent there yet #THE KITKAT VERSION THOUGH. IN MY HEAD IT'S SO OBNOXIOUS #shadow and bone #negative #i suppose

picard 3x07 thoughts (spoilers)

no offense and like i know it’s star trek *picard* but i literally don’t care about all these old men...like why do we need to bring data back and spend 20 minutes talking to him. he already died!! why do we need this. what is it contributing

#there's nothing at all interesting about it. #s1 and 2 felt like they focused more on the other supporting characters and actually #gave them storylines and character growth #here seven has (1) good scene and then is just standing around the rest of the time doing nothing #while we have to watch jack do more kung fu (why??) #and the old men talk for 20 min #s2 was the inverse of this it had a stupid storyline but it also gave me #amazing seven raffi content so i loved it for that simple reason alone. #this objectively has a more interesting plot but the characters i actually care about #are doing nothing lol #star trek picard #i'm so old now cause i'm like ''i can't believe i stayed up until 11:30 p.m. for this"

[heroes-fading]

okay pause on the daddy issues on main for now, tlou2 did a lot of things but one of the best was giving us dina

and so this leads me to connect:

all you had to do was stay except it’s Dina and Ellie :(

:-(

i am once again asking druckmann if we rlly had to do all This

dina is the best part of tlou2 from what i can tell ASSUREDLY

like...maybe we'd all be happier...collectively....with our endless speculation....give us one lil dlc with jesse and dina...call it a day....this is such a grim closed loop it's just not fun!!!!!!!!!!

#dina deserved betterrrr #also this is deeply unpopular lmao but i didn't love the bb jj storyline i'm sorry just bb storylines are not my personal cup of tea #i realize it's like #a parallel in some ways #and i realize that i am in the minority and i don't have like #A Problem #but ellie girl is 19!!!!!!!! #can she just have #a childhood or smth #for five minutes #even traumatized to hell #just putting her through a nonstop gauntlet YEESH #ask #tlou2 spoilers #i am just not a tlou2 person idt #i do not like how any tlou2 criticism online is weirdly linked to like the incels who hate the gay agenda or whatever #man i just want my characters to be happ(ier) #(and i hate that when s2 comes out and inevitably gets backlash #it'll be “wow it's just the people who hate representation at it!” #like bfffr be so serious right now i'm sure it's them mad joel gets golfed by a woman or whatever #or people being awful about a trans character #i've even seen some terfs on this hellsite ALREADY #but i'm probs just gonna vibe with my lil flashback scenes and sit #at the resturant #still sitting in a corner i haunt #or something #i just want ellie to get a microdose of childhood and happiness :(

[vellikan]

Imprisoned, heroic, bald as fuck.

Like father like daughter, everything depends on them again.

#stranger things #stranger things season 4 #st #st4 #spoilers #eleven #jane hopper #jim hopper #i love the parallels between their two storylines #put them together in these exact moments? #yeah i see the family resemblance #they better reunite and save the world again like s2/s3 or i will weep

[lenievi]

also, I changed my mind. I like that SNW is characters and relationships focused. After all, it’s not like that isn’t what I’m most interested in anyway.

#i guess i just wish they didn't advertise it as an old school episodic tos style show #(because that came with certain expectations) #i liked snw from the first ep but i did keep saying that i wished it didn't focus on romance even though I love that storyline in s1 a lot #i think i don't want snw to change now. i want it to continue doing what it's doing #because i would ignore the non-relationship parts anyway so them being a B plot works well for me #it just took me a while to realize it #but considering like half of s2 caters to me and my taste personally... :D #and how i love la'an's romance i need to change how i talk about the show #anyway onto keeping this a positive snw blog~ #feel free to yell at me if you think i'm not

[flythesail]

The last third of s4 is wild because it's like oh haha Nancy and Ace still have the curse to deal with, then on top of that they throw in a cover-up of an accidental murder

#the purpose of that storyline is to ask: what line would you cross for someone you love? #or does that line exist? #what would you do to protect them? #even then.. i think the whole storyline could have benefited from another round of revisions #or.. more episodes #unfortunately they didnt have time for either #really.. that storyline could have tied well into everything with bess #it's possible to draw the connection as is #but this is a BIG storyline to fit into a small number of episodes #so yeah i wish they did something different #yet i can still see what they *wanted* to do #even if s4 wasnt the last season i think it'd be a problem regardless #although im curious if they would have brought it into s5 #that would give time to explore it with the depth it demands #but the thought of nace not being together for another season... #irrelevant point anyway because it's all over now #i kind of remember it being said all of s2 was written *before* they started filming (because of covid) #and my running theory is that's a large contributor to why it's so good #flythepost

okay i think nancy is my new favourite character

#maybe not favourite but i really love her so much and i want more storylines with her #the scene with them all putting tims name on the ambulance #god that was too much for me #also im back to hating rob lowe #no specific reason just owen is more annoying in s2 #i really dont like the whole plot of him getting back with tks mum and the pregnancy and stuff #like i dont care #and they are both annoying #this sounds awful but i preferred the cancer plotline #like obviously it was more emotional and i think made his relationship to everyone else in the team more meaningful #now he seems completely seperate from his team and its just about soap opera style drama with his ex #im just fed up of rob lowe and his punchable face #i want more storylines with literally every other character #because im now very attached to every other character #i love them so much #so so much #911 lone star lb

[somehow-a-human]

Whose POV is it anyway?

An Introduction

DO NOT ASK NEIL ABOUT FAN THEORY

Cracking down on the storytelling of Good Omens season 2 through the lens of a changing narrator.

If you haven't read this interview with Good Omens cinematographer Gavin Finney, and you're interested in the fantastic dedication and detail that went into this TV show, definitely give it a read. Not only is it lovely, but Neil also posted the article with a caption mentioning that it's got so many secrets in it. Obviously that made me take a closer look.

I have already gone into a fair bit of detail about the different Lens Filters that Finney mentions in the article in a separate post and I will be referring to them quite a bit so if you aren't familiar with them I would suggest reading that first!

This first post is going to cover the basics of changing narrator/POV's and I'll be writing additional posts for separate episodes/minisodes/scenes since there's obviously way too much to cover in a single go. So shall we take our first look?

It's no secret that something's a *bit weird* with season two, and there are SO many theories about it. I love to read speculation, metas, theories, and opinions, it's definitely fun but my personal ideas align more with the idea that we're simply being shown the events of season 2 through the memories of multiple narrators, different POV's, and it slightly skews the story, sometimes within one continuous scene.

I am also a sucker for a good multiple timeline theory but that isn't this post.

Lens Filters

As I stated above, I wrote a post about each of these individual filters earlier. What I didn't go into in that post was speculation about the filters. While I think they're pretty straightforward, especially the filter for hell (Black Pro-Mist ((BPM)), I think the other two have a bit more room for speculation.

Bronze Glimmer Glass

BGG was described by Finney as being used for 'bookshop scenes', but after S2 back numerous times and paying as much attention as I could to the lighting and colouring of the scenes, I think this is generally true but not always true. There are times when bookshop scenes seem to use a different filter, and other locations also seem to be shot with the BGG filter as well. I think BGG aligns with Aziraphale's POV. Or if Not Aziraphale, an outside-of-Crowley narrator? Based on the scenes (which we'll specifically get into in other posts) which BGG seems to be used, context clues, character behavior, etc, I think BGG clues us in that we're seeing, if you will, through Aziraphale's eyes.

Black Diffusion FX

BDFX was described as being used for 'Crowley's present day storyline' and fuck me, that's not ominous or weirdly phrased at all Mr. Finney! This filter definitely aligns with Crowley. Most of the time he's separate from Aziraphale it seems that this is the filter being used, and certain scenes switch filters mid-scene when he begins to go off on snarky Crowley-centric commentary.

Catch-22 & Herzog

The books on Gabriels bookshelf, great books obviously, but I think books that are also meant to give us context about the story. Pride and Prejudice is a love story about making snap judgements on someone's character, and coming to recognize somebody might be good despite their title or appearance. The Crow Road is a story about life, death, love, morality, mystery, and God. 1984 details the tragedy of Julia and Winston's attempt at falling in love while living under in a police state. You see my point?

That's why I wanted to touch a bit more on Catch-22 and Herzog specifically when talking about the possibility of changing narrators/POV's in Good Omens 2.

Catch-22 frequently switches narrator and the events described are often not necessarily sequential. This way you're getting information about previous scenes as the story continues, so while you're reading the book you're forming a more complete image of the events as the story continues from different characters POV's and iterations of the story. Sound relevant?

Herzog is the other book I wanted to talk about. To be fair I haven't read Herzog in full like I have Catch-22 but I pulled out my copy to reference and flip through a bit to remind myself. Herzog unlike Catch-22 doesn't switch narrators but the narration by the main character, Herzog himself, switches between first and third person throughout. When he is narrating through his letters, you get a deeper look at his thought processes and emotions. It also relies on flashbacks to bring context to the life of Herzog.

While these books touch on other elements that are relevant to the Good Omens story, namely Yossarian's relationship and views of God in Catch-22, the way these stories are told intrigued me for this context.

Crowley's Hair

Yeah I'm gonna mention the hair, because I think the hair is linked. Crowley's shorter sideburns, trimmed mutton chops in the 1827 flashback, and shorter Job wig seem to be clearly aligned with the BDFX filter/Crowley's POV as far as I can tell. I don't know if this means it's just another way to denote POV, but it seems way too consistent not to mention it. The longer sideburns, fuller mutton chops, and longer Job wig all match up with Aziraphale's POV or the BGG filter. My thoughts here are that his hair is another hint of who may be relaying the information to us, AKA is it internal or external. I am making my best guesses though and there are still some situations that I feel less sure about. For example, when Aziraphale takes the Bentley to Edinburgh and Crowley is in the Bookshop with Jim his sideburns are long, is it because he's remembering these scenes unreliably? Is Aziraphale imagining the events? Is it because Jim is present? A brief fluttering thought I toy with from time to time is the fact that in the before-the-beginning scene they are long, and what that means in context of the rest of the season.

S2 Promo Posters

Finally this set of season 2 promo posters showing the characters thoughtfully considering scenes in their heads just gives me a lot of these POV vibes.

I'm planning on doing individual posts for specific scenes, episodes, and minisodes that require detailed breakdowns. I'll update this list with links as the posts are finished!

POV "Your 'Something's Wrong' Voice"

POV a Trip to Hell and a 25 Lazarii Miracle

POV a Companion to Owls

POV The Dirty Donkey & I think I Found a *Clue*!

POV Bodysnatchers & Cosplaying a bookseller

POV 1941

POV The Ball

POV The End?

Sandman s2, confirmed news!

I see a lot of speculation on the topic, so as someone who has closely followed and confirmed information, I am comprising this thread of confirmed Season 2 leaks that I will update regularly.

This is inspired by @orionsangel86 rant, and I have no real following here for people to listen to me, but I hope this will allow the fandom to discover me as a Sandman creator.

All information has been thoroughly confirmed, and some of it was found by me. I will try to keep the chronological order:

1. Ruairi O'Connor is our Orpheus

Well...I don't have to explain, the man's face is on there, plus Melissanthi Mahut follows him on Instagram

2. Esme Creed Miles is our Delirium

Back in August, we suspected Esme Creed Miles had joined the cast of the Sandman as our Delirium when Lourdes Faberes posted this picture with this caption:

Soon after the entire cast followed Esme and since then have interacted and been in the same place multiple times including last week when Donna and Mason were filming:

3. Barry Soloane is our Destruction

His wife spoiled it, and he has it on top of his acting credits. He is followed by all of the Endless and Neil on Instagram, and they interact regularly.

4. Midsummer Night's dream is filmed/being filmed

As you can see from this leaked call sheet from the same day, the scenes included elves and fairies + the caravan + the people who asked what was filmed on their walk basically confirms Midsummer Night's Dream

5. Wanda and Ruby's characters are being merged and are being played by Indya Moore

We have no further information on the changing of storylines.

+ a lot of minor roles have been confirmed as well but those are of no vitality.

6. Names of six of the supposed 12 episodes have leaked

(In no particular order)

"Season of Mists"

"Brief Lives"

"Family Blood"

"The Song of Orpheus"

"The Ruler of Hell"

"More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold"

Source is WhatsOnNetflix (reliable source)

!!The next ones are speculations since we cannot confirm them but it is quite likely as timelines fit:

1. Ferdinand Kingsley has filmed the Season of Mists dream sequence

The only clue we have of that, is that he maintained a hairstyle similar to Hob's with a longer beard for a while and has recently chopped it all off.

2. Filming of "Season of Mists" in Brighton Pavillion on the 20th of February

According to eyewitnesses, the production was humongous, the extras and actors were dressed in gothic/mythical/monster/horror attire, which excludes the location from being Destiny's garden or have anything to do with the Family dinner, leaving Season of Mists as the most plausible conclusion

3. On-site location filming on Castle Arce in the week of March 15th

The Castle Arce area has lots of mazey parts, dare I say Destiny's garden, but that is pure speculation. (I just found these so I have not had the time to decipher them properly).

3. Destiny will be POC

I sincerely hope that to be true. The only semi-clue we have that suggests this might be true is the picture from Lourdes (above with Esme) and the fact that Adrian Lester is in the picture, but he is not part of the cast or seen in leaks anywhere. We hope for news soon.

That's it, folks.

Those are all leaks compiled in a comprehensive list to avoid further speculation. I will be updating the list accordingly and if anyone has questions, feel free to send them my way, I feel confident in all the ones that we have confirmed to be true.

Love,

Li

simon's arc and growth in s3 was one of my favorite storylines and is one of the main reasons i like s3 so much.

in s1 we got to see the foundations of such a beautiful complex character - a boy who loves his family and those who have earned their way into his heart almost more than himself, loyal to a fault, vibrant and not afraid to make himself more of an outsider by standing by his ethos and personality.

and simon being his truest self taught the 2 most important ppl in his life their key lessons. sara now understands the gift of giving ppl second chances and wanting to hope they wont always fuck it all up. and wille learned everything from simon. how to love unashamedly. how to believe in yourself. how to look outside of yourself. how to speak your mind. how to forgive. how to live freely

idk i think there is something so missing in ppl who cant understand his character in s3 and maybe its a lack of life experience but knowing when you need to remove yourself from a situation that is destroying you and the ppl you love is important and real. he made himself so small to try and fit for willes life and that hurt them both, wille needed shining simon as much as simon did.

love is not always enough and simon was brave for recognizing that. for continuing to stand by issues and ideals that were deeply important to him. to recognize when his own actions were causing ppl harm. to continue to forgive and give ppl more chances despite being hurt but also knowing when he needs to put himself first

on my first watch of s3ep6 it something i couldnt stop thinking abt and i stand by it on a few rewatches, for someone so integral to everyone's personal growth bc he was that catalyst or lesson for them, he felt a bit forgotten. and i get there was a lot of loose ends to be tied up but im ngl he felt a little rushed/in limbo bc of it but i still think he had a full beautiful arc in s3. and the way ppl still damn him for every move makes me wish he had even more time to develop throughout esp s2 i wish everyone could see just how beautiful and complex simon is and how he is the base of everyone around him

#simon eriksson #he is my son and i will stand by him until i die #rambles at 2 am idek if this is fully coherent but oh well #was reading the song of achilles and it reminded me a bit too much of my love for yr at the beginning #he deserves just as much empathy and grace as every other character #he is not villain #young royals #young royals s3 #young royals analysis #young royals character analysis
