Greeting, ol’ pal

IS THIS MAN OKAY??

Take a good look at the countries leading/have started the legal battles to hold the IOF accountable -their fights to end IOF terrorism and war crimes, as this should have been done months ago, are now beginning.

So many Palestinian people have been genocided, and the rampant global government inaction has caused chaos, death, and destruction of Gaza... I just hope this leads to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the occupation. I truly do.

As u can tell i like making cartoon designs of my current fixations (1/3)

This is basically suicide squad isekai, right?

Things To Never Say To Someone Who Just Came Out - Composers Edition!

Yes, I'm still recovering.

As someone who overanalyzes music in shows or rly any media in general, Leonard Bernstein's rendition of Shostakovich symphony no.5 in d minor is an interesting choice in Good Omens.

Other people have already dissected the original symphony so I recommend to check that out but TLDR, Aziraphale is basically Shostakovich where the latter pissed off the soviet union because his opera was deemed too inappropriate. Just like how Aziraphale pissed off the entire Heaven by thwarting the great plan. Shostakovich then composed this symphony to celebrate the union and appease the dictator BUT NOPE ACTUALLY it's all sarcasm and this so called worship is fake and the saltiness is turned up to the max. Just like how Aziraphale in ep 6 says that heaven is the side of truth and light but deep down he knows it's not at all perfect because his boss tried to literally wipe him out of existence and his co workers despise him.

Back to Leonard Bernstein, he was famously (or infamously) known for conducting the synphony's last movement twice the speed. Some complained that it took away the original intent of the slow march and the hollow quality of “forced celebration.”

For comparison,

Original tempo:

Bernstein's version:

The other side of the argument (and a side that Shostakovich probably agreed on because he praised Bernstein's take) is that it heightens the sarcasm. That it sounds extremely "happy" and "corny" to the point where it takes a kind of manic and deranged quality.

It's like Aziraphale saying WOW I LOVE HEAVEN SO MUCH IT'S THE BEST but in reality, he's seething in anger at the end of the season where he lost Crowley, his lover and best friend, just because he needs to go back to heaven and fix their shit.

Or maybe it's just that the director of the show rly loved Bernstein's conducting because he was that bored during covid.

Crowley being fiercely protective of Aziraphale

No one:

Aziraphale:

We could've been us.

This movie made me realise I'm into himbos.
