MatPat’s leaving ?????

Like I know some people don’t like him “Tumblrs going to be happy about this” blah blah blah

But. You do realize how big of an impact he’s had on theories/looking into lore. He’s one of the biggest reasons so many people look so deeply into different ransom elements. People have always done that, yes, but he gave so many people that first step into it, and gave a platform to some of the best parts of the internet.

The game theory collection of channels played one of the largest parts in me becoming so involved in caring about the stupid things I care about. It helped me grow as a critical thinker and allowed me a space to explore the silly things that no one else wanted to talk to me about.

I’m glad MatPats doing what he needs to, and I hope he has an amazing life. I thank him for his dedication to the channel, and thank him for changing my life.

So long, MatPat ❤️❤️❤️

#game theory #matpat #tough goodbyes #it was a good run while he was here #and I look forward to the people who continue his legacy

Building on the favourite animal ask, another Very Important Question: favourite PREHISTORIC animal? And why? (I've always loved gorgonopsids and pterosaurs like anurognathus, but a new favourite is aquilolamma the eagle shark. They're just very cute).

I feel like my top favorites are pretty pedestrian, but I like prehistoric deer a lot!

Megaloceros giganteus aka Irish elk

Sinomegaceros ordosianus & Sinomegaceros yabei

Eucladoceros dicranios

Cervalces scotti

#they're so big why are they so big #imagine seeing an irish elk in the wild #or a herd of them #I also like long-horned bison #it's hard to imagine the good old mammoth without experiencing some type of awe and reverence #a few years ago there was a a lot of talk about spinosaurus possibly being a good swimmer and I really loved that idea personally #the looong torso & tail short limbs and quadrupedal posture made it look so sleek and crocodilian #I have no idea if that theory holds any water but I think they'd be my favorite dinosaur in any case #answered #anonymous

ah so it looks like nina are maggie are gonna be the parallel that’s so painfully obvious that it forces aziraphale and crowley to confront their own- MY GOD IT’S BEELZEBUB AND GABRIEL WITH A STEEL CHAIR

#🌻#i'm gonna be honest. i did NOT see that one coming.#every time i saw fan theories about them i chuckled and shook my head. it looks like i'm the fool.#i don't hate it but i was like huh????? wuh??????????????????#good omens spoilers #gos2 spoilers #good omens

you know that post that's like the best way to deal with conspiracy theorists is to suggest an even wilder conspiracy (ex. "did you know the moon landing was faked?" "you believe in the moon?")?

well that but with tim and bernard. every time bernard gets a little too close to the bat secret, tim suggests something insane and then goes to great lengths to find (or occasionally manufacture) evidence for his stupid theory.

-----

bernard: okay hear me out, what if the second robin came back to life and is now red hood

tim: okay but what if red hood is actually joker from a different dimension where he didn't go mad and his life of crime escalated?

-----

bernard: i think the youngest robin might actually be blood-related to batman

tim: maybe the youngest robin is a literal demon that batman summoned and bound to him

-----

sometimes he goes a little too deep down the rabbit hole and manages to convince himself of his theories. And, on one notable occasion, one of theories actually turned out to be true and helped solve a case.

#family dinners at wayne manor are interesting #to say the least #bernard says something batshit that tim fed him #and the entire family just looks at him like /wtf/#while tim looks away awkwardly #some of the bats want to correct his theories so badly but know its a good cover #and some of the bats just pile on the bs and make it worse #timber #tim drake #bernard dowd #batman #dc #dc comics #mine

Had a bit of a crisis over trying to draw Boba, so I did the adult thing and did some face studies. Learned a lot, hopefully some of it sticks

#mainly I learned that contrast-y shadows freak me out; I muddy up my colours super fast and easy #and that I REALLY need to learn some colour theory for good this time #also sketching needs to happen more. MUCH more - that was supposed to be the point of this exercise -.-#temuera morrison #boba fett #commander cody #captain rex #I really liked the lighting on that Cody pic but if I were to draw him before Rex I'd never live it down okay??#face study #star wars fanart #my art #the clone wars #tcw fanart #I'm still not any better at drawing Boba with hair and keeping him looking like himself... which I should have seen coming but...#gotta double down on work now I ran out of my warm up paintings #clone portraits #Tem clones

As a Fandom we have spent a long time debating whether or not Crowley actually eats. We have completely forgotten that he literally admits it.

So either the food in heaven was so bad he never ate lunch again OR Aziraphale really is that slow and Crowley has already finished desert by the time Aziraphale has ordered a starter.

#Excuse the screenshot I couldn't get a better one #i have connected the dots #good omens #crowley #ineffable husbands #I was walking when I realised this and it was just me and my theory #I probably look really creepy smiling at my own thoughts

It's time for the fandom to start Looking Where the Furniture Isn't

For a bit of background, one of my irl professional responsibilities is to identify and avoid making undue assumptions. There are a LOT of things that we humans assume. We assume that terminology means the same to other people as it does to us. We assume everyone has the same context of a situation we do. We assume that we aren't missing any information.

We operate on the information we have.

There was an ask before season 2 aired asking whether many of the plot points had been revealed by the clips (which almost all took place during the first half of the first episode). Neil's response was something like "oh you sweet summer children you know nothing yet." And boy was he right.

Neil Gaiman is a master of controlling assumptions. Just look at his Tumblr askbox replies.

Here's a few s2 examples of assumptions we all made (as I'm starting a rewatch):

Why did Crowley do the (very fun and distracting) apology dance? You might say it was because he walked out on Jim, but he never specified, did he? And Aziraphale was surprised that he proposed they would hide him "together"

How did Shax get a rumor about something going down in the Up (presumably) before Gabriel even went downstairs?

Did Jim need to bring Aziraphale something other than the box? He never actually specifies; Aziraphale just assumes it's the box.

Why did Aziraphale assume Maggie could feel [Michael, Uriel, Saraquael] arriving?

Why does Aziraphale say Heaven would notice even a small miracle? Crowley is seen doing a miracle before their large miracle (traffic light), and later Aziraphale makes the guy leave the table at the pub

To go deeper:

Are we assuming that characters are telling the truth? Example: "Miracles don't work like that," "[Extreme sanctions] was just something we said to frighten the cherubs" etc.

Are we assuming that nothing of note happened between apocalypse v1 and s2? (ex. the claims that Crowley didn't tell Aziraphale about the trial in heaven despite him referencing it in s2s1) What if we the audience are just jumping in near the end of this story?

Are these assumptions correct? Or are we just working with the information that we have?

Now that I'm looking for it, there's also SO many corrections of assumptions (usually for the sake of a joke, but still) (these are just the ones that happen while I type them out while watching e2):

"Can I be a blue one?" "You haven't annoyed me yet" "But can I be?"

"You recognized [Michael, Uriel, Saraquael] those people who were in the shop just now?" "Of course, they were in the shop, just now!"

"oh my god!" "blasphemy, angel, that's not like you", "no, oh, my god"

Many of the themes were about hiding things in plain sight: the kids (and kids), Jim, "aim for my mouth but shoot past my ear." Clue (1985) was heavily referenced in the lead-up. The whole point of that film was looking at what was going on elsewhere. Looking where the furniture isn't, you might say.

The more I watch s2, the less certain I am that any of it makes sense on its own.

I'm currently combing through it to see if there are any discrepancies with where people are (easiest example is when Crowley just disappears from the bookshop while they're reviewing the Job story). It'll be a lot of data and might not lead anywhere, but I'll definitely share once I finish looking into it.

I will also honestly admit that these things are all circumstantial, and I could be going insane. But they just keep cropping up all over the place. I've got a lot of time before S3 comes up and I intend to investigate the furniture. And try to not make assumptions.

#good omens #gos2 #good omens spoilers #good omens meta #good omens theory #aziraphale #crowley #s2 wrecked me #it's driving me insane #I'll be completely transparent on that front #looking where the furniture isn't

Baby made their first .gif, yes yes, thank you i am proud of myself for braving technology!

What is everyone’s take on what he mouth’s here? To me, and have it be known I am incredibly bad at lip reading, it looks like:

“We need help.”

It also looks like he’s miming a ‘timeout’ signal.

please discuss and let me know your opinions lovebugs! and no, there is no dialogue that takes place during this gif if you’re unfamiliar. all these mouth movements are *silent* 👄

#good omens #good omens 2 #good omens meta #aziraphale #michael sheen #crowley #david tennant #crowley x aziraphale #good omens theories #good omens clues #i made a gif #it took me 30 minutes #i was so happy when i gained the capability to screenshot amazon prime lol #now look at me #gonna be a software engineer by dawn

i see the duke of hell crowley theories and i raise to you: supreme archangel aziraphale distractedly signing papers and pausing when he reaches one that's a contract with hell, his breath catching in his throat as he recognizes the serpentine signature at the bottom.

#what are the papers for? what's the contract for? why did crowley sign it? idk man just look at the angst and appreciate it #good omens angst #good omens #duke of hell crowley #crowley x aziraphale #aziraphale #good omens s3 #good omens theory #good omens fic #??#should i write this

so, a 3-part act makes sense, with the tone s2 set up, it also made me think:
