"and then you look at it, and it looks... otherworldly. this is denis. he just creates this shape. it's not perfect. it's timeless. it reminds me of... do you remember arrival? you know those big alien creatures? that's the shape." — rebecca ferguson in an interview with hollywood insider

One difference between the Lord of the Rings books and the Peter Jackson films that I find really interesting is what the hobbits find when they return to the Shire.
In the books, they return from the War, only to see that the war has not left their home untouched. Not only has it not left their home unscathed, battle and conflict is still actively ravaging the Shire. They return, weary and battle-scarred, to find a home actively wounded and in need of rescue and healing. All four launch themselves into defending their home and rousting those harming it, and eventually succeed. But their idyllic home has been damaged, and even once healed, is never quite again the Shire they set out to save.
In contrast, in the Jackson films, they return to a Shire shockingly untouched by the horrors of war. The hobbits of the Shire talk, in the Green Dragon in Fellowship of the Ring, about not getting involved with issues "beyond our borders," and it seems those issues have not invaded their sanctuary. After having been bowed to by kings, dwarves, elves, and men alike at the coronation in Gondor, their only acknowledgment upon returning home is a skeptical head shake from an older hobbit.
One of the most poignant scenes to me in Return of the King (and there are a considerable amount) is the scene where Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are sitting in the Green Dragon. The pub patrons bustle around them, talking loudly, clapping excitedly, drinking cheerfully, just as they had in the beginning of the story. But the four hobbits sit silently, watching almost curiously at what was once familiar but is now foreign to them. Their home has not changed. But they have.
Which is the deeper hurt? To come to your home to find it irrevocably changed, despite all you did to keep it untouched and the same? Or to return home but no longer feeling at home, because it is only you that is irrevocably changed?

Both Day and Night's anger is so real and I love that.
Day's anger that his life has changed overnight, that he's gone from a national athlete to someone who can't navigate by himself and has no independence, can't cook or take care of himself, and all that frustration and grief turns into anger and he takes it out on the people he knows cant leave him, the safest one, the ones who are there and won't leave because he can be angry at them when he hates everything happening around him so much that he just can't cope.
And Night is trying to find a place in a life that has flipped upside down as well. He's become a caregiver for a brother who is too angry to accept help and who is hurting him as well as himself and his mother and they're all carrying unfamiliar weight and fears and a future that seems so far away.
Their mother cares for them and loves them but she doesn't know how handle this change in them or in their dynamic and she wants the best for her sons and she loves them but she is struggling to cope with the changes the same as they are while trying to cover up those struggles and be the protective and loving mother she wants to be.
Mhok really is exactly who Day needs because Day needs someone that can come into his new life and not see it as a new life but just as a life, just a life that he can lead. Day needs someone who seems as capable of learning and of living and willing to push him to try and to live and that's what he needs.
Not someone who sees his past and the their past and the life he lead and the world he lived in before but the future he can hold onto now and the future he can have.
And someone who can handle his anger. Someone who can understand his anger. Someone who can be there when he's angry and not take it personally.
That's why they need each other. Even if they don't know it.
they absolutely don't give a flying fuck about our sanity and i love it
The Slovak edition of Good omens is really nice in design, I wanted to make a version with the Crowley and Aziraphale from the Tv :]
Just the two of us. We don't need Heaven, we don't need Hell, they're toxic. We need to get away from them, just be an us. You and me, what do you say?
