No heaven, no hell

I think i'll deactivate this for a while; the conversations are sending me into a deep depression.

I don't know if it was a good idea tree years ago to become such a big fan. I never thought a series finale would devastate me. I feel incredibly alone.

I've even thought it would have been better if they'd cancelled the show.

I'll deactivate this... for my good.

🎶Chim chiminey, chim chiminey, chim chim cher-ee...🎶

Friends, we literally jumped through a painting... that included a literal chimney... to the English countryside in a story that loves Mary Poppins almost as much as I do. I have plenty of other posts about how it's Aziraphale's Nightmare and not real and many more to go but I could really honestly stop here with just this, as where do those paintings come from in Mary Poppins? Not from Mary herself...

Bert draws them, from his memories. They're his own creations-- a world of his own making, his own dreamscape. One that doesn't actually exist but is based on places that really do to which he's really been. Mary Poppins and the kids go with Bert into a world created by his own mind and manifested by the painting. 🎶"And it's all me own work, from me own memory..." 🎶And who had a picture of a cottage on his desk in the reality of S1? Aziraphale. It's all his dream, and not the jolliest of holidays with his Mary but it ends with him waking up, so...

I'm going through a bit of a strange phase after Good Omens ended. I went through an initial period of denial where it was really hard for me to visualize it, and at first, I actually liked the ending. Now I'm in a phase... well, after that, I went through a phase of sadness, And lately, I've been going through a phase of anger. What triggered that anger was a leaked video of a girl filming David Tennant without permission, asking him if Crowley was finally happy. He says no, not at all, and that he believes Crowley actually disappeared—that the other character looks like him, but isn't him. That hit me like a bucket of cold water.And that's when I started thinking about how unfair and terribly tragic the show's ending actually was.Basically, there was no reward; it was just rushed and sad. And thinking that Neil Gaiman came up with this ending makes me feel terribly upset.That's the great paradox of romantic tragedies. Authors often use self-sacrifice to elevate love to an epic and selfless level, demonstrating that their union is so powerful that they prefer to save the world rather than selfishly save themselves.Because what the story shows us is the suffering of various characters who, because they love each other, can't be together, and in the end, they decide to sacrifice themselves for humanity. But it really makes you wonder, what are they sacrificing themselves for? I mean...

But you didn't see the demon as someone completely sacrificed to humanity either. They enjoyed humanity, but they weren't entirely altruistic. Logically, it's known that he was actually an angel; he was never truly a demon.

However, as a viewer, it's utterly frustrating. It feels unfair because the relationship makes us connect with the characters' individual happiness, leaving us with the feeling that saving humanity isn't worth it if the cost is destroying the only beautiful and real thing they had. It's an ending that prioritizes emotional impact and bitterness over reward. In conclusion, it was a piece of shit ending."

And another thing.

Are you trying to tell me after everything Aziraphale and Crowley trusted God to keep her word?

The real ending is grabbing a book and writing God out of existence and figuring out the next steps together. The point is to beat her at her own game.

*The great dilemma: What do God and the Devil do without their toy?*

If Aziraphale and Crowley are no longer in the eternal game and Earth is now a free and peaceful universe, what do God and the forces of Hell do?

The existence of these cosmic entities is based on conflict, on the duality of Good and Evil, on stakes and the chessboard. God and the Devil cannot simply "sit back and do nothing" because that is their nature. Therefore, the idea that they created a parallel universe to continue playing while letting "our" universe operate under Aziraphale and Crowley's terms is intriguing. This creates the paradox of the "Godless Universe created by God."

They demand a new universe, a blank canvas according to their conditions, yet it remains a universe created by God. Even though God has granted them a world "free from His intervention," the mere fact that God designed and permitted it means that, technically, they are still within the Ineffable Plan. You cannot escape the Creator's rules using the Creator's tools. So that supposedly "free" and independent world, at its core, still bears God's signature in its foundations.

If God and the devil created a parallel universe, is there a possibility that a "leak" or dimensional rift connects the universe where the eternal game continues with their peaceful universe?

[angelasiol]

Real-world situations make me question whether Crowley and Aziraphale will be against the end of the world, although it may be that Hell has gained more followers with the president of the USA, Israel, and a wave of global violence... well, the history of humanity...

I haven't written in a long time. I know that possibly no one cares what you think. The latest events in the world of GO have me sad, although I know that if I am my personal opinion many will not agree. The Johnny Depp trial taught me that there is no judging because there are many interests involved, so I will not take anyone as guilty who has not received a fair trial, and because I feel that there is a reality that I am not able to perceive. . . However, I had to accept that the pause of the third season was very bad for me, everyone handles their grief differently and I couldn't just accept it. I stay away from FB groups, they make me nervous. If the series is canceled I will surely suffer but he will respond to me. It's a fantasy, I had embraced it to have a hobby that would mentally take me away from my emotionally draining job in social services. I would just like it to be solved, but I have to be realistic, don't lose faith but at the same time worry me. Is he healthy? I don't know. I don't care if they attack me for giving the benefit of the doubt.

About what's going on with Neil

This is going to be a little longwinded, but I'm a writer, so you should expect that. Try to read through all of it before you for opinions. You need a whole picture to do that — in fact, that's the point of what I have to say.

I have seen this one article at the moment. Just this one so far. I don't trust the media, I can't trust the media (can anyone these days?); so as much as I would love to either be able to support one side or the other and have closure on the matter, I cant. And that's okay.

(Yes, it actually is)

I know you can't judge people by their internet presence or by their works so I'm not going to pretend that's enough to form a valid positive opinion of Neil, but I do need more than one valid source before I upheave my personal feelings. And it won't cause me to uproot myself from my fandom.

I'm writing this because I'd like everyone to do the same, if you can. Take a breath. Let things become clearer before you form an opinion of either side of the situation.

For the Good Omens fandom specifically, keep doing what you do. From what I've seen we have a generally wholesome fandom, and I don't think this news has any bearing on any of us, or anything we do. We can keep being creative. We can keep loving the story and it's characters. We can keep going.

Please don't fall apart. Take care of yourselves and be kind to each other. That's all.

These crochet Aziraphale and Crowley dolls were made by someone who is an excellent artist. The dolls are very well made, with their clothes, hair and details. I loved them, when I can I will try to make Crowley glasses on a 3D printer. I am very satisfied, I leave the link to the artist. I am happy.

Sorry, have to make my own post, I'm so happy

That's my 15 minutes of fame, I peaked in my life, I made those dolls and gave them to Michael yesterday evening at the stage door, I'm so happy they liked them and I'm also absolutely out of my mind. 😱

They are 2 sets, actually, for the two girlies ❣️

Anna shared this in her Insta, and I'm just over the moon and back 😭😭

Very sad

[lookingatacupoftea]

PLEASE DO NOT ASK NEIL ABOUT FAN THEORIES!

The very compelling theory about the kiss including an object exchange (credit to this post by @melbatron5000 and this post by @somehow-a-human) has me questioning more about how the kiss played out.

After Aziraphale has clutched Crowley's back and lifted himself into it, the camera cuts and we see them again from the side. It's very subtle but it does look like Crowley's cheek puffs out just the tiniest bit right before the kiss breaks. I couldn't get a good GIF, and maybe I'm seeing things.

This would explain something that has troubled me for a while, which is why Aziraphale's hands go from holding Crowley to flying back in the air again. But suddenly having an unexpected piece of metal shoved into your mouth would do it.

So that's maybe one mystery solved (or maybe not, see below). Now the part I don't understand is when Crowley puts the object into his mouth in the first place. Did he do it when the camera is not trained on him after "we could have been ... us"?

OR are we also dealing with a time stoppage/bubble during the kiss? If so, then cancel the above because Aziraphale would be expecting the item. He would be acting shock for the Metatron (not necessarily faking the rest of the scene, just the ending here).

AND how does this play into how we understand their relationship? Is this a first kiss that Crowley has used for a dual purpose? Is that part of Aziraphale's conflicted reaction? It being a first kiss would align with Crowley being a rifle virgin during the bullet catch.

GIFs by winter-seance

Which makes it an even sadder moment, a first kiss that has had to be sacrified to this other, more practical purpose.

OR if we're dealing with a time stoppage, did they take the chance then to kiss properly?

OR maybe they've kissed before (1941?) or been shagging through the ages or don't really want to kiss. Honestly, I could believe six impossible things before breakfast about these two.

In closing, don't forget you can always watch the kiss slowed down and be sadder!

[angelasiol]

I would like to apologize for something I wrote but almost no one read. A couple of days ago I saw an analysis of the interview they did with Neil and where they talked about the impact that the requests for "a kiss between Crowley and Aziraphale" had had a negative feeling on Neil, who wrote about that kiss but not how people wanted.

In my writing I regret that the actions of the toxic fandom negatively influenced his work. I described it as Neil's revenge for the toxic requests where many of us were victims of that.

Someone reading tagged Neil asking if he had done that and he responded in my post "No." Out of shame I erased what I had written. I apologize to him if he reads this.

However, as a follower I feel that the toxic requests and the fandom's insistence on wanting to manipulate the author generate negative consequences.

I apologize to Neil for my unfortunate interpretation of the interview.
