How Good Omens was not written.

Fanart from ‘Nation’ by Terry Pratchett.
Nation is one of my favourite books of all time. It is thoughtful, funny, poignant and above all, a bloody good page-turner.It is such a shame though, that the more I love something, the harder I find it to really capture it’s essence in a picture.

Ooh, ooh, and also Shawn Ogg, tourist guide, lackey, soldier and creator of the Lancre army pocket knife.
I met a zombie punk at IDWCon. It was the best costume. It should have won awards.
I mean, look at that. Socks Pastels, people. Socks Pastels.
“But- all tobacco products, yada yada yada, health and safety, you know…”
This man. He’s just.
Today in Anatomy class we were reading articles on stem cell research, both for and against, so we could write essays on the subject. (even though the debate has pretty much been solved, but whatever) One of the articles quoted a Dr. Lawn, who was an elective abortion specialist and stem cell…
