There is a lot about the finale that I can accept, but the thing that bothers me is the feeling of being lied to. I’m too tired to do it right now, but I would love to find all the times various folks in the know said or implied that they would have a happy ending, just to see if I was misinterpreting or in fact being deceived. (Curious but not motivated. I leave it to younger, more energized people for the time being.)

OK being angry and bitter is exhausting let's get back to writing fic

Ep. 487 - Creativity and Resiliency in Times of Chaos

Podcast Episode · Living Myth · May 13 · 28m

Maybe a little something to soothe the soul for all you wonderful Ineffables. It’s very nerdy mythology talk, but it just hit the nail on the head for me about the finale (and the whole world). I’m still not super stoked about the finale, but this helped.

Thrift store taunting me

What the actual eff is this?

[aprilodite]

Um, why did Crowley take the flaming sword from Aziraphale? How did Aziraphale get it back in Eden?

[aprilodite]

This was actually the moment of greatest cognitive dissonance for me. Aziraphale with a cell phone.

[hollow-head]

A missing scene. Thanks for all the fanart and fic throughout the years, you guys

[aprilodite]

Great fix it

[aprilodite]

I shit you not this car was driving home with me this afternoon. Never seen it before in town. That’s insane, right? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?!

[fellshish]

sorry but s2 aziraphale did not hold trembling fingers to his lips thinking do it again because he wanted to boop crowley on the lips with his fingies

[aprilodite]

Completely ageee

[aprilodite]

It is not unrealistic to think that Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s takeaway message is that god is an asshole… Crowley certainly wouldn’t be surprised

Adjacent Thoughts

I get it. Having a god that is rigging the system sucks. Not having actual free will sucks. And yet...

A universe with no divinity? I know this is getting into HOT territory, and I image Mr. Pratchett might be down with no divinity at all, but as a rabid superfan of an angel and a demon.... not really for me.

Ineffability (says Google) is the quality of being impossible to express, describe, or utter in words, often because something is too great, sacred, complex, or intense. I like living in a world that has that...

Was that part of the point?

[aprilodite]

I will probably soften to an "it's ok" but right now I'm leaning toward a "whomp whomp." 

Pros: 

- There is a very Pratchett-esque vibe throughout which I appreciate. We are forced to actually think about the big questions and issues that we have dealt with all along. 

- Jesus is adorable. He managed to get his whole vibe across.

- Don't Stop Me Now was nicely placed. 

- Adam's man bun

- Neverending pizza (although that is a little bit of a ripoff of Gravity Falls)

- I liked Satan and God

- Oddly, I like everyone in the post-script except "A&C"

- The in-between was a cool thing that probably could have had more

- The costumes and sets and artistry were fantastic

Neutrals:

- Kinda gave Dr. Who

- Scary clown Az (not even sure how I feel about it, but it was a memorable choice)

Cons:

- The no kiss is probably the only unforgivable (!) mistake. I'm not queer but I understand queer-baiting in a whole new way. How could this not be a flat contradiction to the "they will have a happy ending"? I would have taken a forehead-to-forehead as they were erased. There was not even an "I love you"? A hug?! Come on guys.

- Rushed (obviously) 

- Would have liked more about the "rigged" game Crowley was talking about. Would have connected the cards and the Bentley subplot better.

-  Even though rushed, there felt like so many obvious things that could have been left out (to make room for other stuff).

- The "forgiveness" stuff did not follow through for me.

- The Eternal Flame seemed random

Good Omens Fandom! I’m a teacher so making visuals is my jam. May I present: The Ineffable Timeline :)

[aprilodite]

In case anyone needs a full recap 😘

[aprilodite]

Just an angel polishing another angel’s halo. Not a joke to be had, I’m sure.

A Good Omen.

Dear @sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog ,

My daughter had a project in 8th grade science where they had to use their imaginations and the concept of evolution to solve a problem, and they worked on tuberculosis!
