With gratitude to @cuubism for letting me borrow Bookstore Cryptid Dream's Library.
The phone rang.
Once he had determined that it was possible to have a phone only ring at certain times, or for certain people, Aziraphale had seriously considered disconnecting the landline for his bookshop in favor of having the number forwarded automatically to the device Crowley had acquired for him.
This sufficiently worried his vintage phone that it promptly began call filtering for him to prove to the angel its continued worth. Aziraphale hadn't so much noticed, as determined that the landline wasn't really enough of a bother to be worth altering.
Thus, when the landline rang well after the bookshop's (admittedly dubious) business hours when Crowley was already sitting across from him in the back room, Aziraphale nevertheless did not hesitate to answer.
"Aziraphale, I need your help!" Anathema explained in a very slightly (read: incredibly) distressed tone.
"Whatever is the matter?"
"I lost the book."
Aziraphale blinked. Anathema's hands weren't exactly audibly flapping, but Aziraphale had no trouble picturing them nevertheless.
"Well, not lost, exactly. I… burnt it."
"You what!?"
"I burnt it!"
Aziraphale's eyebrows furrowed. "I thought it was already burnt in the fire-that-wasn't? I still have the little slip of loose paper from the final prophecy here in my desk."
"Oh! No, not that one. That one is fine. Yes, singed still, that's true, but I have all the index cards so it's ok." She kindly didn't mention that she'd noticed the missing prophecy. She was a touch relieved to know whose hands it had ended up in. "No, what I mean is, the next day a whole second book arrived, and Newt helped me decide I didn't want to be a professional descendant for the rest of my life. So I burnt it!"
"Oh dear."
"YES 'Oh Dear'! Now everything has gone strange again and I don't have the book!"
Aziraphale nodded to himself, peeking out the windows into Soho. "Things have gone rather strange, haven't they?"
Crowley snorted in the background. Aziraphale waved him away with a hand.
"Hmm. I may know a solution. How soon can you get to my bookshop, Anathema?"
She hummed. "Well, I suppose Newt could drive me. So, what, an hour?"
"That will do nicely. He always did keep late hours."
"Who, Newt?"
"An old friend, of a sort. Or a rival."
"Crowley?"
Aziraphale laughed. "Of course not! Well, perhaps he is a bit like Crowley in some ways, come to think of it, but not in any personal sense, anyway. This is more of a professional rivalry. You'll see."
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
Aziraphale hung up the phone, and turned to his beloved demon.
Crowley raised an eyebrow.
"You're taking her to the Library? At this hour?"
"It's not as if his hours are any more coherent than mine."
Crowley snorted, nodding. "So what's she looking for? An impossible grimoire? You know he won't give those out to just anybody."
"And nor should he, considering what happened last time one of them got out!"
"Right. So you're introducing the known, actually-rather-talented hereditary witch to the Library because…?"
"Oh come now, you know she can be trusted. Besides, this is more a matter of family business."
"Whose family?"
"Hers."
Crowley grinned. "Oh, this should be interesting."
Aziraphale gave him a mischievous smirk. "Indeed!"

Maybe this is one of those things that only feels obvious to me, but I’m kinda shocked we’ve never gotten a Super Sentai take on the Royal Flush Gang
JLA vs Evil Power Rangers, you guys love that sort of thing

You move across the country, it will follow
You move across the ocean, it will follow
You marry someone new, it will follow
You commit yourself to better things and still
It will follow.
Trauma will stick to your feet like the midday shadow sticks to sneakers.
You can try to outrun it, you can’t, but you’ll try.
Evolve or die.

The first DVD release of Cinematic Titanic occured at midnight on December 21, 2007 at midnight. Cinematic Titanic was created by Mystery Science Theater 3000 creator Joel Hodgson. The project allowed him to continue to riff movies with MST3K alumni Trace Beaulieu, Frank Coniff, Mary Jo Pehl, and J Elvis Weinstein (all of whom protrayed the Mads on MST3K). Besides the produced shows, they also started doing a live touring show where they riffed movies live. The first release was of the Oozing Skull (aka The Brain of Blood). ("The Oozing Skull" Cinematic Titanic Event)

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1191
first posted in facebook may 16, 2023
ellen berkenblit -- "finery plush" (2023)
"i think my paintings emerge through color. they emerge through a few different things, but significantly through the language of color and what is happening at the moment on the palette" ... ellen berkenblit
"the irresistible pictures of ellen berkenblit [...] are a potent reminder that, within the fantastical space of a painting, [...] every risk is worth taking. the artist has been working at the crossroads of expressive abstraction and oneiric figuration in new york city for forty years, parlaying her signature cast of characters (a witchy woman, always in profile, attended by a menagerie) into some of the most quietly ambitious works on the scene" ... andrea k. scott
"i don't know what i'm doing when i start a painting. i'm riffing on what's happening, and things get bulldozed over; shapes change" ... ellen berkenblit
"once upon a time you dressed so fine
you threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?" ... bob dylan
"... but you did not live so happily ever after, did you?" ... al janik

That Time When Knuckles Was Basically God. Part 1
Let’s start off with the name of the issue, Fallen Angel. Like I get it for what it’s trying to convey for the story. But it’s getting real heavy handed with the Biblical references for Knuckles. He basically was Jesus Christ given how Ken Penders was writing him at the time and how he was, like, the best all-around and everyone should totally worship the ground he walks on and jerk him off when he commands it.
Here in this issue, he’s pretty much God with the power to do anything. Surprisingly this wasn’t written by Ken Penders. This is during the Ian Flynn Era of writing. However, I’m sure Ian had a reason to write this story. No one really liked the direction Ken was taking Knuckles because there really was no reason for Knuckles to super mega awesome with a convoluted backstory. Though I’m sure Ken got stiff hard when seeing this. Or mad at it or maybe both. (Take note I’m mostly going to be riffing.)
But anyway, Knuckles-God descends from the heavens to tell his fellow friends he’s here to bring them The Rapture by getting rid of the greatest sin of all. That sin being technology. Sally on other hand scolds Knuckles-God for pushing his version of their religion onto them and says God made Mobians in his image. But he fires back saying what image would that be. A chipmunk, a blue hedgehog, or a fat purple cat. A flustered Sally can only weakly reply technology is not a sin and has done some amazing things for the world.
Nicole tries to tell Knuckles-God how technology can be a good thing as it has given her life and the ability to interact with her friends she couldn’t before as a handheld device. Julie-Su explains how during his Messiah stage he brought harm and suffering with all the power he had.
But after hearing all that coming from his friends. Knuckles-God has the most disgusted/disappointed expression. He realizes they’re deep in the sin of technology and there’s no saving them.
With his powers he says he’ll make an example out of Julie-Su and show her his way is right. (If Knuckles-God had a son. He’ll do to her what they did to him) Sonic dives downwards and spin dashes Knuckles-God in the head and saves Julie-Su from her fate. Sonic tells the Lord he shouldn’t force his ideals onto other people and that its completely fine for them to worship other deities as it’s not hurting other people.
After handing Julie-Su to Mighty. Sonic prepares to fight against God because why not. Not the first time Sonic fought against a higher power. Though suddenly out of nowhere Shadow appears and punches Knuckles-God in the face. Shadow heard Knuckles-God was going to purge the world of sin that technology provides. Which he can’t not let happen as he’s going to be the president of H E double Hockey sticks.
Hearing this angers Knuckles-God to the point he sucker punches Shadow through a building. He then catches Sonic in ring of energy and Sonic starts mocking him about his name. Resulting him to be thrown into the same building Shadow is in. Who is face deep in the books. Shadow takes off his inhibitor rings as he needs to protect concept of sinning, or he can’t be president of Hell. (Though I’ll admit that’s a little extreme even with what Shadow says in the previous panel.)
ALL HAIL SHADOW!!!!!!
And Shadow gets his ass kicked. Our president everybody! Sonic spin dashes Knuckle-God in the back of his head. When turning around, Sonic is surprised at what he’s seeing.
Sonic’s words fail him and soon to be President Shadow urges Sonic to not lose his resolve. Sally declares how she, the Freedom Fighters, The Chaotix, and the citizens of the Mobotropolis are with him and will attack God which will have no repercussions for them as he’s not their God. Knuckles-God on the other hand is getting tired of this. (To be serious. What the hell Sally? Knuckles is a god with limitless power and you’re having the citizens of your city fight?!)
Knuckles-God easily stops them by encasing everyone in energy and goes on about how all of his friends disappointed him. Believing they would accept his offer to purge the sin of technology. He was going to be gentle with his friends and the city. But now all of them will burn with holy fire along with the rest of the world. Sonic tries to reason with him by saying this isn’t who he is, but it falls in deaf ears and Knuckles-God rebuffs how the world is deeply corrupted and he will clean it with the power he has.
But just then. The atheist Doctor Eggman comes in with his large Egg Fleet. He tells the supposed ‘God’ how he’s a scientist and thus doesn’t believe in God or any beings of higher power. But if he sees someone having great power, he simple must have it for himself. So, from his ships he fires lazers at Knuckles-God. However, this lazers don’t hurt Knuckles-God but instead teleport him away into Eggman’s new Egg Grapes. Where he can sap the energy out of him.
Eggman leaves the Freedom Fighters so he can watch his Egg Grapes drain Knuckles-God dry of his energy. Sonic turns to Sally ask her if she already has a rescue plan in mind. Sally isn’t actually sure they should rescue their friend as it means releasing him back into the world. Before more could be said a Warp Ring appears and two hands reach out of it and grab Sonic and Julie-Su and then pull them in.
It’s revealed it was Locke and he wants their help with the current matter they’re facing. He explains The Brotherhood made a weapon for this occasion in case this ever happens again. Sonic reassures Julie-Su that this weapon will help bring Knuckles back normal. But Locke corrects the hedgehog. Saying how this weapon was made to kill those who pretend to be God. Knuckles, his own son, will meet this fate for daring to claim such a title for himself.
(In the next two parts I will be serious. I just wanted to do this riffing because it was super dumb this is how Knuckles was being written at the time and Ian Flynn just added to it by having Knuckles be a god. But I like said earlier in the post I’m sure he had a reason. Working with something bad to make it good later on.)

If y'all like MST3K and their old "Turkey Day" marathons, I'd highly recommend you check out Isle of Rangoon's playlist-equivalent, given it's a great channel in general run by @siphersaysstuff and friend of the blog @therobotmonster
Also, as a note, the latter's going through some... difficult times RN. Mental health issues and the financial stability that came with losing their day job will do that.
So, if you like what you see on the playlist; or at least want to see them do more Pixelated Beasts episodes (And if you're a fan of folks like @bogleech you probably do), check out their donation/buy-stuff-from-their-other projects post, maybe send a few bucks their way!
