listen. i know it’s been said numerous times, but listen.
all these streaming services are sitting on an absolute goldmine. they have a fan base who will absolutely explode to trending status over a 12 second long bts clip. they have a fan base equivalent to a bunch of fireworks who will explode so brilliantly at a moment’s notice. they have a fan base who will come running over any little bit of anything.
not to mention it’s an lgbt goldmine?? a dei goldmine???
it is absolute treasure.
AND YOU REALLY THINK SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT???

The thing people need to get is that it's about more than a queer pirate show.
Art forms are being strangled because of how corporations are allowed to be run. Because the people in positions of power don't give a fuck about creativity, storytelling, or the impact of media on people. It doesn't matter to people like David Zaslav what the companies they're running deal in. They're in it to squeeze out all the money they can and they don't give a shit what gets thrown away in the process. There is no appreciation or respect for what their companies are supposed to be focused on.
Capitalism kills art and it needs to be put on a leash, and these streaming services need a slap in the face. For fuck's sake, there was just a strike over this. The writers weren't going to take the greedy bullshit these companies were serving them, and audiences shouldn't either.

Maggie’s pendants and good omens
Yes, you’ve read it right. This post is going to deal with some literal good omens, not just title drop! But first things first, let’s take a closer look at the topic of this analysis.
A toucan
The top necklace is a lovely design involving a crowned toucan — believed to be a messenger of gods able to travel between the spiritual and the physical world, often associated with rain and rainbow (a Christian symbol of divine love, grace, and mercy, a reminder of the covenant between God and humanity to spare the latter from future trials like the Flood) — encircled by a gold band (a symbol of infinity, eternal love and promise) spun by a small butterfly (a symbol of transformation, hope, and rebirth). All three symbols combined seem to deliver a divine message of hope for rebirth, possibly resurrection, and the eternal life. Very fitting in the context of the Second Coming.
The fact that toucans were revered by the native South Americans as rainbringers strengthens the symbolic meaning of another type of bird we can spot on Maggie’s clothes in the very first episode, as her character introduction — a swallow. Swallows flying low are also believed to be harbingers of rain and bad weather. If you see one close to Earth or a building, it means that there’s a storm — or a certain biblical tempest — on the horizon.
In Ancient Greece and Rome swallows were representing Aphrodite, goddess of love. In Christianity they were considered to be of God and symbolized hope, awakening, and revival of life as messengers of spring and protectors from winter colds. Also helped Jesus on the Cross — according to a Christian legend, a group of swallows was supposed to take out the thorns from the Crown of Thorns and alleviate His Passion on the Cross. Humans banding together in the name of good have been a big theme in the series ever since The Them made an appearance, and from what we already know about the unpublished Good Omens sequel, we can assume that Jesus is going to take the spotlight in the upcoming season.
Maggie definitely attracts sudden inexplicable weather changes, like a thunderstorm with weirdly localized lightning strikes or a sudden downpour. And we’re still waiting for some vavooming (and the following happy ending) to happen in S3.
A heart with an eye
Now, the more nuanced clue hidden in the bottom necklace. I know that some of us were trying to tackle the concept of Maggie’s eye in a heart pendant suggesting her Masonic connotations, but this symbol (or the Eye of Providence in general) isn’t strictly Masonic, it isn’t even limited only to Judeo-Christian art. And while it is used a lot in Christian iconography, we should focus on a very specific example of it already referenced in the show.
Buckle up, we’re making a parachute dive into S1.
It seems like our old friend, Agnes Nutter, still has our backs.
Prophecy 4020:
Let the wheel of fate turne, let harts enjoin, there are othere fyres than mine; when the whirl wynd whirls, reach oute one to another.
If you look closely at the bottom right corner of this frame, you will see that as an illustration for the above prophecy the production team chose a 1611 engraving titled The Minde should have a fixed Eye On Objects, that are plac’d on High first found in Gabriel Rollenhagen’s Nucleus emblematum selectissimorum.
In 1635 it was published in A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient and Moderne Quickened With Metrical Illustrations, both Morall and Divine, Etc by George Wither with the accompanying hymn:
A Heart, which bore the figure of an Eye
Wide open to the Sunne; by some, was us'd,
When in an Emblem, they would signifie
A Minde, which on Celestiall Matters mus'd:
Implying, by the same, that there is nought
Which in this lower Orbe, our Eyes can see,
So fit an Object for a manly thought,
As those things, which in Heav'n above us be.
God, gave Mankinde (above all other Creatures)
A lovely Forme, and upward-looking Eye,
(Among the rest of his peculiar Features)
That he might lift his Countenance on high:
And (having view'd the Beauty, which appeares
Within the outward Sights circumference)
That he might elevate above the Sphæres,
The piercing Eye, of his Intelligence.
Then, higher, and still higher strive to raise
His Contemplations Eyes, till they ascend
To gaine a glimpse of those eternall Rayes,
To which all undepraved Spirits tend.
For, 'tis the proper nature of the Minde
(Till fleshly Thoughts corrupt it) to despise
Those Lusts whereto the Body stands inclin'd;
And labour alwayes, upward to arise.
Some, therefore, thought those Goblins which appeare
To haunt old Graves and Tombes, are Soules of such,
Who to these loathsome places doomed were,
Because, they doted on the Flesh too much.
But, sure we are, well-minded Men shall goe
To live above, when others bide below.
And hey, guess what 4020, i.e., the number of the prophecy, symbolizes in Strong’s Concordance? Periergazomai, a Greek word meaning “to waste one's labor about something” — to meddle, going beyond proper boundaries (where a person doesn't belong); to fixate on what others are doing, instead of doing what the person himself is supposed to do.
It appears only once in the Bible:
2 Thessalonians 3:11: We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good.
To make things slightly more interesting, in the Hebrew version of Strong’s Concordance 4020 has another meaning — migbaloth, meaning “twisted things, i.e. cords”. Which doesn’t make much sense until we read the actual passage:
Exodus 28:24 and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.
And compare it to the most recent post on the topic published directly by Word of God:
What if all these clues didn’t apply to Maggie and Nina, but Aziraphale and Crowley instead? What if Maggie served as a messenger — consciously or not — just like the toucan, delivering the prophecy to those who need it most?
“When the tempest comes and darkness and great storms, and the dead will leave their graves and walk the Earth once more and there will be great lamentations for the end is near, don’t lose hope, hold hands and look up.”
Basically what Aziraphale and Crowley already did when they performed the 25 Lazarii miracle, only with no interference from Gabriel this time around.
And, if both Strong’s Concordance and Maggie’s personal addition to her second pendant are to be believed, with a wedding band somehow involved in the process.
#everything has a meaning#the invisible and unbreakable line that joins Crowley and Aziraphale#two chains of pure gold twisted like cords#never tire of doing what is good#don’t lose hope#hold hands and look up#the good omens crew is unhinged#good omens props#good omens costumes#the nice and accurate prophecies of agnes nutter#agnes nutter#good omens#maggie service#good omens meta#good omens analysis#strong’s concordance#yuri is doing her thing#ineffable husbands#wedding bands

Keep thinking of Rosie allowing everyone else to experience the trauma of war around him in any way they need to. Whether it be after listening to his crew member choke through the Munster story, reaching a hand out to comfort him, making sure the replacements are all settled and feel comfortable with him - establishing that he's someone who can be trusted with any issues - and listening to Crosby tell him he's scared he's becoming a monster and reassuring him, and yet refuses to give himself the same grace.
Thinking about how he doesn't tell Crosby about what he saw after he was shot down, what he witnessed in that camp. He's never really the one telling any stories in the series. He listens and watches, lets others say whatever they need to, all the while keeping his cards close to his chest.
Thinking about Rosie smiling while watching his crew and the other airmen enjoying themselves at the flak house, and yet not allowing himself the same enjoyment. Thinking about how the doctor at the flak house got Rosie to look after himself only when he framed it that looking after himself is looking after his crew.
Thinking about Rosie re-upping, choking slightly on his words as he explains he can't bare the thought of sending some rookie in his place to only get himself and his crew killed.
He won't give himself the grace or patience he deserves, but by god he'll take care of everyone around him.
#rosie rosenthal#masters of the air#robert rosenthal#rosie's love language is acts of service but his 'acts of service' are like. 'i will destroy the fascist regime for you'#like he doesn't judge others when they are upset/crying and yet!! will not let himself do the same#it's why i loved the doctor at the flak house... just figuring rosie out so well and taking the pieces rosie gives him and working out#what will resonate with rosie the best. and it was framing it so that rosie needs to look after his crew#which he WILL DO come hell or high water#i have to find the quote from the masters of the air book but at the very end rosie says the war wasn't over for him until he'd helped#prosecute some of the nazi's. that he could only move on from the war when he could see it through to the very end. his war was finally ove#and that just fits him SO WELL.#the horrors of war run deep but rosie rosenthal's love for his friends will always run deeper#these tags are so messy lmao just a jumble of thoughts#ch: rosie#tv: masters of the air#rosie mota

by far the worst take i've seen so far post-ep19 of Junior Year is that having a week-by-week live play would have allowed fans to essentially influence the direction of the story in the way they want it to go and that would have resulted in the cast being more sympathetic to the Ratgrinders (ie getting them a redemption arc)
why do you feel the need to try and control this story? YOU ARE NOT THE ONE TELLING IT. if you want to tell a story please go write your own, or go write fanfiction to cope or whatever but you don't get to say that the players are telling the story wrong when it's their story they are telling
#not only would this actively make the story worse#but i truly don't understand why people think that this would then force the players to do what the audience wants#like i'm gonna assume that the people who want this are the same people who complain too much about bits (or at least there's heavy overlap#who's to say they wouldn't double down on their decisions and then you'd just have a whole new reason to be mad#also as stated earlier in really no way do i believe that audience influence would really benefit the story#like there is something about how attached the audience gets to certain things that the cast/crew couldn't predict because it is recorded#but i truly don't think there's many instances where fan influences to the author(s) has been in service to the story#because the second you do that you are controlled by the audience and any time you go against that then you've “betrayed” them#it just goes back to a lot of the conversations about audience and specifically fandom entitlement and the way that people consume “content#also to be clear i saw this take on d20 twitter which i do think has a whole different flavor of toxicity than d20 tumblr#fantasy high junior year#fantasy high#dimension 20

DO YOU...
1: CARE ABOUT VIDEO GAME PRESERVATION?
2: OWN A COPY OF "THE CREW"?
youtube
PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO!
You might now that The Crew's servers are going to be shut down in April, but this guy is planning to launch an international campaign to prevent the game's shutdown, thus preventing the shutdown of all video games that rely on a central server.
"Oh, but you can't expect the company to run the servers forever."
Your right, that's not what Ross is arguing for. He's arguing that Ubisoft (and any other company that cant run the servers forever) either patch the game so it can run offline/run servers locally, or release the server software.
Guess how much you can help depends on which country you live in
(For example, if you bought the game in the US your very likely f@#ked. Ross explains the only thing you can do is contact the FTC, but if that doesn't work the only other way to stop this practice is an act of congress because the law is f@#ked and the company can do almost anything as long as the EULA says it. If the EULA says you don't own the game, then legally you don't own the game.)
However, if you live anywhere else (like France, Australia, or the EU) you have a better chance because you have rights.
"But I don't care about The Crew."
This isn't about just The Crew. If this campaign is successful, then it could set a president to save all online only games in the future.
"But I don't own The Crew."
Then reblog this post so someone who does can read it.

Sorry to everyone else but I'm actually the biggest Darius stan (bonus: autographed Scott Kreamer photocard 😂)
#darius bowman#jurassic world chaos theory#So the context is that I learned of the existence of Kpop photocards#And galaxy brained to use a self-printing service to print characters + coworkers and it's SO funny#The reason there's so many Dariuses was because he was the only announced character at the time and I printed them to give out to the crew#But the coworkers and Scott ones are so funny and they're a huge hit 😂😂#I guess I can print Ben now but this service is in China so I either have to go or ship so that's not soon 😔

so this video is currently sitting on my YouTube homepage, and i cannot help but be like
#OFMD#SaveOFMD#Renew as a crew#Like gee I wonder why lmao#I WONDER why#Could it be—#1. That original programming is never allowed to breathe anymore and is cancelled within 1-2 seasons?#2. That streaming was supposed to be a solution to cable and is now Worse?#3. That it’s so FREAKING annoying to have to bounce between services when you just want a particular property?#4. That there’s so much emphasis on milkable franchises that people ARE indeed getting tired of?#5. That fees/ads/the general user experience is worsening?#For the record I’m looking at the comments on that video too#And the general consensus is basically all of those points LMAO#Predominantly that nothing is ‘permanent’ on the platforms#And that the stuff you want to watch is ALWAYS in danger#Which hhhmnhmhmhhnhmhmm ☕️☕️☕️

#this could have been so much worse#idk man I watch that s5 trailer and I'm like. They really did try with what a mess this has been from LEGO's end#The fact that the art style is even the same#we are out here being thankful it wasn't canceled and that the writing team is consistent <3#Breen and Deidre I would like to thank you for your service#If you say s5 is good I'm going to choose to believe you#If they did anything in the first 4 seasons.

Cock up Crew
In port, the merchant ship's cock up crew had to slew the (horizontal) yard arms inboard, and brace them neatly so that they did not interfere with another ship's rigging, or any dock equipment. This had to be done before the crew was allowed ashore. The yards were neatly turned up (cocked up or cockbilled) so that they lay at an upward angle to the masts. However, yards are said to be scandalized (Latin scandalum, a cause of offence) when they are cocked up. Yards were cocked up in a mark of respect to a dead crew member or on Good Friday as a show of sorrow.
