I still can’t wrap my mind around “14 million” people showed up.
Like yeah, I’m sure people prob tried to get on who didn’t have a code, or stupidly got a code from a friend and didn’t realize it had to be the same log in, and whatever else.
But 14 MILLION???? We were all nervous about the 3 million who liked the post in 24 hours or something.
Even if all 4 million people used a phone and a laptop at the same time to try to log in, THATS NOT 14 MILLION.
Even the idea of 14 million coming from all of us getting kicked out repeatedly and getting back in is still a STRETCH for numbers.
Idk how it’s not assumed bots got in and totally fucked shit up. There’s no way that in the time it took for me to click the little blue circle and move my cursor over to the check out button, that seats should’ve been taken from my cart. And that happened at least 8 times.
I know Taylor is in high demand. I KNOW that. I’ve known that. But even if we took the 5.5 million who have liked her original post, gave all them two devices to access Ticketmaster to, that STILL DOESN’T EQUAL 14 MILLION. Yes, you could say people used more than two devices, but also probably the average person only used one.
14 million is just so many. Besides all the glitches I personally experienced, seeing that number so high was the biggest red flag to me.

while I was looking for gabriels in the intro, I noticed this redheaded person w dark clothing and lighthaired person w light clothing that appear to kiss in the theatre:
i'm making this about the 1941 kiss theory
---
edit oct 7: a few kind people have mentioned that they remember a post from the official good omens account (possibly on twitter) that said the two people kissing are War & Pollution, and the shadow beside them is Famine. (If you have the link please send it this way! I have done a fair bit of searching but with no luck and it's haunting me bc it must be real but i can't find it)
@0owhatsamsays also pointed out that in the X-Ray bonus video "Title Sequence Easter Eggs" Peter Anderson says there are specific characters from season 1 in the highlighted boxes, and as you can see, the kissing booth (top level, far right) is one with a little trail of stars coming off of it.

Important things I’ve learned about the new tumblr polls so far (which are NOT mentioned in the official announcement post):
Once you’ve voted you can’t change it and you can only vote once.
You can only view poll results on the dashboard or in blogview. The buttons are still displayed on custom blog layouts, but if you try to click on them it will automatically take you to blogview.
Responses are completely anonymous. Neither the poll creator nor the respondents can see who voted or what they voted for. The only visible metric is the total number of votes.
Votes don’t show up on your activity feed so you have to go find the poll on your blog if you want to see the results or know if people are even voting.
You can’t view the results of your own poll without participating (clicking on one of the answer choices yourself).
You can’t edit a poll post once you publish it, you can only delete it! I assume this lasts until the poll has timed out, which will either be in a week or a day depending on what you picked This is permanent, so you better hope you got all of your tags and answer choices correct before you publish! This also means you can’t change your poll duration later either.
UPDATE (Jan 22, 2023):
You can send individual polls to someone as a submission, which the recipient can then edit and customize before publishing, but this will NOT give that person the ability to create new polls on their own.
Polls have a maximum of 10 answer choices and each answer choice is limited to 80 characters.
Polls can’t be added to reblogs, only original posts. Additionally, only one poll is allowed per post.
You can add a poll to a previously published original post (that doesn’t have one already), but as soon as it’s published again all editing will be disabled. Also, the poll time limit starts from the original post date, so if you add a poll to a post older than your set time limit, the poll will automatically show up as completed with zero votes.
If you aren't sure if you have the ability to create polls, check this guide. As of right now, according to my current poll, only about 10-15% of users have this feature.

Exposing SVSSS Fanon: 18/∞
SHEN QINGQIU WEARS A CINNABAR MARK ON HIS FOREHEAD
Rating: FANON-NEUTRAL
Many artworks, both fanworks and official art, will depict Shen Qingqiu with a red dot or vertical line in the center of his forehead. While this is not something that is mentioned in the novel, it is not something that would necessarily be unlikely.
Oftentimes in visual coding in guzhuang (ancient costume) dramas, a cinnabar mark on the forehead, over the location of the third eye (this is different than the huadian I discussed a bit in this post), will represent a person with strong spiritual powers or connection to the spiritual realm, especially when used for male characters. It also denotes a particular wealth and status-- basically, meaning that this person is someone powerful and important in cultivation society. Whether there is actual historical precedence to this, or if it is a purely modern aesthetic phenomenon, I am not entirely certain. If anyone has more details or sources on historical precedence for this depiction, please share those!
Cinnabar/vermillion also has a long history of auspicious significance in Chinese culture, both in regards to wealth and status as well as being used for religious or spiritual purposes in ancient Daoist tradition. To this day, vermillion red is still one of the most auspicious colors in Chinese culture, especially used in weddings and at new year's festivities.
Therefore, while it may or may not be historically accurate, because PIDW and SVSSS are novels written during modern times and with modern visual perceptions, it would not be out of the question for Shen Qingqiu to wear such a mark.
As for the common depiction in fanworks, my hypothesis as to the origin of the use of this visual signifier for Shen Qingqiu specifically is the official Thai cover art, which is one of the main influences of fandom portrayal, and depicts Shen Qingqiu with such a mark on his forehead, though I wouldn't be surprised if it were common before that release as well.
Sometimes in fanworks, the presence of a vermillion mark will be used to show a difference between Shen Jiu and Shen Yuan-- with Shen Jiu wearing the mark, while Shen Yuan does not. Personally, I think that this may be more of a visual distinguisher than anything else, but it also would make sense with symbolic design-- with Shen Jiu's character traits of placing high value on his cultivation and also portraying himself as someone of high status, it would make sense for him to wear such a mark while Shen Yuan, who takes those things for granted, does not. It would also make sense for both of them to wear it, as Shen Yuan does still like to portray himself that way, even if his concern about his image comes from a different source than Shen Jiu's. It would also make sense for neither of them to wear a cinnabar mark, if an artist chooses to simply not use this visual signifier.
The only characters actually mentioned in the novel as having any sort of forehead mark are the heavenly demons. Therefore, while Shen Qingqiu's cinnabar mark may be a solid visual depiction, there is no support for or against it in canon.

What changed Ice Prince Finn back to normal & where did he get a crown from?
Was Finn stealing a baby what ended up changing him as a person in the Farmworld universe? Similar to how Marceline kept Simon prime grounded & humane for a while.
Maybe Jay Mertens (I think that was his name, the eldest son) reminded him of his little brother too.
As for how the crown came back into the Farmworld reality, that would be because of whatever wacky effects are happening from Fionna & Cake going through the multiverse. Scarab was also messing with the multiversal TV's insides.
Going back to Farmworld Finn's little brother, maybe he was the one who broke the crown since I doubt a coward like the destiny gang leader would have been able to do it (or there's some sort of timeline loop going on with a bunch of the crowns that'll get shown later). This is assuming the little brother is alive, but we don't even know that for sure. There is just a lot we don't know.
edit: I see what y'all are saying about the old episode, seems like Prismo didn't wipe anyone's memories, he only made it so the crown would be destroyed. People still remember The Snow Man AKA Ice Prince Finn & what he did with all of that magical power. I also still think Jay Mertens could be the baby at the end of the flashback at the start of the episode.

i was thinking about that. if i had to see me and my admitted soulmate's sexualities be a topic of discussion because people cannot mind their business and felt entitled to knowing every single thing about us, actively using homphobic rhetoric because they refuse to use their eyes
i'd be telling people to cut it off too
like no one jump me for this but can i just say maybeeee some people on twt were moving a little like antis in a way for feeling entitled to knowing about peoples very personal and real relationships with their own sexualities and other people. georgenotfound of all people will never make an hour long coming out video detailing all his trauma and every homophobic experience hes ever had in his life because hes never been the type of person to do that AND HE DOESNT OWE ANYONE THAT INFORMATION! not even dream owes the world anything about personal journey with his sexuality and he has literally discussed it with us multiple times. obviously people will assume and speculate regardless but theres no reason to gossip about it in a space where they can see it in my opinion and in a way that implies they should be forced out of the closet which like. no. no one deserves that type of public pressure just because the genre of coming out youtube video has set the standard for being a publicly out queer content creator or famous person in general
