🤔 16 DAYS TO GO! 🤔 Myers-Briggs has 16 personality types. Crowley has ENTP chaos and adaptability (Debater), Aziraphale has INFJ structure and moral certainty (Advocate). One sees the system and questions it; the other feels the system and tries to humanise it. #GoodOmens
UsedtobeHMC.bsky.social, Lonicera-c.bsky.social (seen above), other wonderful artists (and ‘helpful’ commentary by Crowley) — will be hand sewn and bound in leather, then offered up for @theineffablecon.bsky.social to add to their auction. Keep a weather eye out for pictures as the weeks go by!
🎶 17 DAYS TO GO! 🎶 The number 17 is an incredibly common song title. Prince, Kings of Leon, The Smashing Pumpkins, Jimmy Eat World, Stevie Nicks, and the Sex Pistols all have songs called “17” or “Seventeen”. Ah. Bebop.
✍️ 18 DAYS TO GO! ✍️ Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18 begins “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate” Here, Aziraphale is butchering it, courtesy of his lessons with M. Rossignol…😳 #GoodOmens

🎲 21 DAYS TO GO! 🎲 God does not play dice with the universe, but plays a poker-like game in a pitch dark room with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won’t tell you the rules and who smiles all the time. 21 dots on a six sided dice! #GoodOmens

🙏 23 DAYS TO GO! 🙏 Few hold 23 in more esteem than followers of Discordianism, a self-declared religion based on the premise that discord and chaos are the building blocks of life and 23 is the Holy Number. If you enjoy Discord, message us for a link to our #GoodOmens server!

📱 27 DAYS TO GO! 📱 The winning joke at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2015? "I just deleted all the German names off my phone.” “It's Hans free." This is what Aziraphale thinks of that joke 🤦♂️ #GoodOmens

🧮 28 DAYS TO GO! 🧮 A 28-sided polygon is called an icosikaioctagon. This is Crowley being asked to pronounce it in a “my voice is my password”-type situation. #GoodOmens
A reminder that The Ineffable Con is a fan-run, volunteer-organised charity convention. Constructive feedback is welcome, but personal attacks and assumptions about the character or motives of volunteers aren’t. Please remember there’s real people - Bethany and Rachael - behind the screen. 🧵1/3
A reminder that TIC events have always had a code of conduct. We can remove - and have previously - anyone from the convention who breaches it.

🥃 31 DAYS TO GO! 🥃 Sydenham created a version of laudanum with an important addition: alcohol. Although laudanum was not found to cure plague, it did notably find success as an intoxicant and numbing agent, which was a welcome ‘aid’ for plague victims… #GoodOmens #Cheers
🎶 32 DAYS TO GO! 🎶 32 is the number of piano sonatas by Beethoven, completed and numbered. “Two," said Crowley. "Elgar and Liszt. That's all. We've got the rest. Beethoven, Brahms, all the Bachs, Mozart, the lot. Can you imagine eternity with Elgar?" #GoodOmens
