I just. They survive the destruction of the book of life. They survive the end of the universe. The universe ends and they persist and become unified in the backbone of a new one. And even when God says they will vanish too they persist again and again and again. Every lifetime is theirs. Every story. They have so many blank pages to fill. I have a hard time viewing that as a death. And even if it was. They got to choose what they wanted. They got to make a world and an existence for the people they loved without having to manage the weight of either side pulling on each other. They were truly given free will and they used that to give that gift to others. And I just. Can't be sad about that.

how do i reblog this ten million times. i find that this was also my takeaway from the finale and i honestly saw it as a win because they found each other again, through their own free will, free from heaven and hell intervening, and in the end they got the life they had always wanted

LUCKY DAY | Good Omens 3

themostineptthateverstepped

So you know why I love Good Omens?

Because it's HAPPY.

I am tired of watching shows and films that think that the only way to be compelling or "edgy" is to showcase abusive relationships and torture and kill their protagonists.

Good Omens is compelling because it shows genuine love, respect, and kindness when it would have been so easy to show literally anything else.

Crowley, a demon, doesn't lie to Aziraphale, doesn't hurt him or trick him, doesn't disrespect or power-trip him; he cares about him and treats him well. Aziraphale, an angel, never for a moment rejects Crowley for being a demon, he doesn't try to change him, tell him he is wrong or attempt to "save" him, but instead recognizes all of the good in him and treats him well.

The only unhealthy relationships are between heaven and hell, and they FREE THEMSELVES OF THESE ABUSES.

The whole thing is filled with healthy relationships of all kinds.

Adam and the Them? Even though Adam is seen as the leader of the group, he takes this as a responsibility to provide his friends with the best games and bring them joy, not as a means of controlling them.

Witches and witchfinders fall in love.

No one is tortured or tormented, the world does not end, and a fucking nightingale sings in Berkeley Square.

Good Omens was the first time I have watched a series that didn't leave me tense wondering when the hurt was going to start. I actually realized how emotionally abusive media has become, and that is so fucked up.

do you think we're together in another universe?

I don't care, I just want you in this one.

My positive thoughts on why I found the Good Omens finale satisfying:

I think it's important to consider that a good character based narrative is about the characters feelings, rather than the reader or the audiences.

Crowley and Aziraphale, while we as the audience have known them almost exclusively as a demon and an angel, have never been particularly good at their roles, nor was it their core identify. Their identities were based on how they rejected their roles, and embraced something else.

And what did they embrace? Earth and humanity. The things they found and chose to define them are the Bentley, the bookshop, food and drink, music, film, television, theatre, all very human creations. And the list goes on.

They always wanted to be human, and be together.

And that's the ending they got to have.

That's the only one there could have been, to close the circle of who they are as characters.

Neither Heaven incarnate, nor Hell incarnate.

But human incarnate.
