Maltober/Orthober Day 15

One of the best posts I've come across describing John and Arthur's relationship said "not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing (drawn on the same layer)" and it was the most accurate thing I've ever read. With that concept in mind, today I drew them in the same line.

A really random and boring observation about Good Omens

At this point I’m just spotting new weirdness every time I go looking for screenshots of the previous weirdness I was looking at.

This one is with the double yellow lines and how they fade in and out seemingly at random. I’ve tried to explain the inconsistency away, but this is a set not a real road and the lines shouldn’t do what they do. It’s also not due to water because although yellow lines on the road can show up more when the road is wet quite often the wet patches on the road in GO are right over where the lines should be and they are still really faint. If the lines were painted on they’ve either had to repaint them in order to make them inconsistent or the lines are CGI-ed (which I think they might be because sometimes they look like they aren’t quite real) and they are either making a mistake with the CGI or are deliberately brightening and dimming the lines.

Anyway here’s timeline of what I mean (under the cut):

Episode 1:

The double yellow lines are there. Also we are flown right under the car when Crowley arrives, which seems like an unnecessarily complicated camera move if they aren’t trying to draw attention to the road surface in some way.

Anyway the lines stick around at this level of brightness until the end of the episode.

Episode 2:

The angels arrive. The lines are quite patchy but I think brighter than before.

When Crowley and Aziraphale leave the pub the lines are very light to the point where you can’t see them at all behind the Bentley.

They’ve pretty much gone entirely when Crowley walks to the Bentley at the end of the episode during the “our car” scene.

Oh, but wait suddenly they’re super bright (and the street is much wetter).

And oops, they’ve gone again (and the street is dry).

Episode 3:

Jim looks out the window. Notice how the street is wet around the gutters where the lines should be but they aren’t there, so it’s not wet=the lines are brighter.

Aziraphale leaves and there’s a hint of the lines and the parking space on the left. This is the faintest they have been.

They sort of fade in a bit more as he drives away. This is what makes me think they are CGI.

Then we come to Shax visiting the bookshop, which happens later that day. Look at those lines now! The brightest they ever appear, on both sides of the road (and the space is clearly marked as well).

Episode 4:

The next day Aziraphale returns from Edinburgh to brightly painted lines although not as bright as they were the day before, especially not around the parking space which looks more worn and dirty than it should, particularly since the street is wet (and in combination with his bizarre parking I wrote about here this seems really odd to me).

Episode 5:

Crowley arrives before they invite people to the meeting and the lines are there but not as bright as in the Shax scene, although this might be due to the lighting, which is very bright here and might be washing them out.

We only get a few more brief glimpses, when Jim goes to jump out the window, when Ms Cheng heads to the ball and when Mrs Sandwich heads to the ball, which is the clearest example. Notice how the lines aren’t dirty at all here.

Episode 6:

The next time we really see the lines is all the way at the end of the series when Crowley takes Maggie and Nina out of the bookshop. They’re bright, but dirty and patchy (we saw them clean with Mrs Sandwich just a few hours before).

They stay bright when Aziraphale is leaving with the Metatron – look how clean they are again.

Then Crowley drives away and the lines are dirty and scuffed again.

Why might this be?

Well if the lines are painted on the set then some of the dirtiness and scuffing might just be due to the fact that the scenes will be filmed out of order and the constant moving of equipment, cars and people might have made them dirty over time. This doesn’t explain the times when the lines are barely there though. What might explain that is post production lighting, where they turn up the brightness of the scene so much it washes the lines out and no one worries about it because they aren’t an important detail. It could also be a CGI mistake where they are generating the lines post production and the software isn't quite generating them properly and doesn't know how much to darken/brighten them depending on how wet the road is and also varies the dirt and fading ebcause its generating them fresh for each new scene. I don't know enough about CGI to really comment on the likelihood of this!

I should add, I don’t like set wear as an explanation, in particular because it takes months of use and exposure to weather for yellow lines in real life to show that much wear and this is an indoor set so I don’t think it’s what’s happening.

I tried to fit in the brightness of the lines to in-world explanations such as whether Aziraphale is in the bookshop or not. Or how much danger is around at the time. Or whether there are demons present or not. None of those seemed to work, but I'm not very good at correlating things like that so maybe someone else could fit them into something. The only explanation I could come up with that fits is that it’s a mistake or time in the GO universe isn’t working properly. So basicallly this post was just to point out the weirdness. If someone else can fit it in to an actual explanation I'd love to know what it is. Or maybe it's all just a filming error?

Anyway, now I've got that out of my system I'm going back to relationship dynamics in my next post. 😂

This is going to sound like the world's most brain-rotted thought but passerine by the oh hellos is martlet coded and canary in a coal mine by the crane wives is clover coded

#I KNOW I SOUND LIKE IM LOSING IT BUT HEAR ME OUT #i do not have nearly enough experience to fully unpack the christian context behind passerine BUT #i know for a fact that its about losing your faith in something after seeing the harm done in its name #specifically that one line My palms and fingers still reek of gasoline/From throwing fuel to the fire of that greco-roman dream #look. idk. something something martlet losing faith in the justice from the royal guards #and the guilt after basically marching clover to their own death #all the hopes of the underground lie on the shoulders of a bunch of human children and its the job of the royal guard to fucking kill them #AND CANARY IN A COAL MINE + CLOVER IS SOOOOOOOOO #THE QUESTION OF WHETHER YOUR WORTH SHOULD BE MEASURED WITH THE THINGS YOUVE GIVEN WAY INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU HAVE AND ARE #WOULD CLOVER BE AS IMPORTANT IF IT WERENT FOR THEIR SOUL??? WOULD THEY FORGIVE THEMSELF IF THEY CHOSE TO KEEP THEIR SOUL?????#WOULD A CANARY STILL BE LOVED AFTER IT STOPPED SINGING?????????#also because the When You Break The Surface Without Me line hurts like a bitch #god i havent been so unwell about characters since double life came out this is insane #fuck it yknow what im maintagging this #undertale yellow #clover undertale yellow #martlet undertale yellow #fweeet #if i have to deal with these thoughts in my head so do all of you

found something interesting about the Zenith fight while digging around the uty code

apparently for the acts "Remind" and "Focus" in their respective phases there's supposed to be a second line of dialogue, but it's just not written out

#i actually pulled up a file right before the fight to double check i wasn't misremembering #but yeah those acts just outright never say the second line #idk why it doesn't call it though because i can't find the script that determines how many messages are printed at a time #i don't think this is actually documented on either tcrf or the uty wiki now that i think about it #undertale yellow #undertale yellow spoilers #yami rambling

after i finish watching Knight Rider all the way through part of me wants to rewatch it again just to count up all the traffic violations Michael makes because HOLY SHIT

#i know it’s not serious #but if i have to watch him drive over double yellow lines #or park in between two spots #or not stop at a stop sign #or not use his turn signal #i’m going to SCREAM #and that’s not even counting the times he’s actively chasing someone which you could argue away as part of his job #so he wouldn’t necessarily HAVE to follow all traffic laws #although he’s not a police officer and works for a private company so idk if that defense would hold up in the real world BUT #even giving him the benefit of the doubt oh my god dude what the hell #am i taking silly little 80s tv show too seriously again?? yes sorry i’m still going insane #knight rider #knight rider 1982

something about how grian is consistently the one who kills scar in the end, in the ring of cacti, the lava trap, guilt over his elytra breaking, and now this, the warden.

something about how he’s not meant to be playing, he’s meant to watch…. maybe it’s a cosmic punishment, maybe it’s horrible coincidence, either way these are the consequences.

something about how grian acts like he’s so put upon to be teamed up with scar, but will do anything to protect him. how when he can finally admit it, that he’s in it for the long run with the crazed man, that he does care and he does want to stay partnered, it ends like it always does - with scars blood all over his hands.

#if I’ve been writing a silly little fic along these lines since episode 1 that’s my business all I’m saying is I’ve been right #but god. grian finally admitting to himself maybe it’s more than convenience. maybe it’s trust and it’s care #‘I’m yellow now but…I can’t just leave him’ ‘no I can’t kill you i can’t’ ‘SCAR WATCH OUT’ ‘it’s not his fault’ etc etc #then it ends terribly. it ends in that cactus ring it ends with broken wings it ends with a mistake and a warden and it’s grians fault #at least they didn’t have to kill each other again at least they died together even if they were apart and alone #anyways <3 I’m so normal about desert duo and the accidental parallels of tl in dl so normal #mcyt #double life #double life spoilers #third life #last life #goodtimeswithscar #grian #desert duo #double life smp #dlsmp #z speaks

Manifesting that I will finish him tomorrow during the snow day (manifesting because I would not be surprised if my school refused to cancel for the huge fuck ass storm coming in tomorrow morning)

#driving to school in the snow yesterday sucked #i slid across the double yellow line TWICE #solius posting #wip

Yooo! I thought I failed my permit test a while ago but I didn't! The system just needed time to update so when I went to go retake the test I saw that I was able to print out my permit!

I was so ready to take that stupid test again lol (it's stupid because it doesn't even ask about road safety or what each sign means. Instead it is giving like math questions or bullshit about statistics)

#rambling #eritalks #noart #like i think it is much more important #to test people on what each signs mean #and whether they can cross a solid double yellow line or not #not what percent of vehicle accidents are with motorcycles

love when some official art makes some minor mistake in a character's design, makes me feel better about everything

#sage speaks #it was in the new(?) find kirby book i believe #but sectonia is on one of the pages according to wikirby #and her double collars are yellow #which they are on the edge with the hearts but the lines between the pink n purple ones are also yellow which they aren't in canon #ITS SO MINOR IT LITERALLY DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL #but yeah #i could also link this to the fact that colours are inconsistent especially with taranza #and sectonia in that one 2020 new years image(?)#where shes more navy than indigo
