One was day and one was night;

One was black and one was white;

One was left and one was right;

One was darkness, one was light.

Together.

I did this ages ago for for a Reverse Big Bang art/fiction collaboration.  And I’ve been sitting on it impatiently ever since.

But the time has come!

who wore it first/who wore it better

[cruelfeline]

I saw a post a week or two ago, somewhere in the Good Omens 3 tag, talking about how fans need to realize that writers don't owe them a "happy ending." Or any specific character resolution, story resolution, etc. Obviously referring to the notion the people upset about GO's finale needed to remember that they weren't entitled to the sort of ending they wanted, and there was nothing wrong with the story as it ended up concluding.

And I agree! Sort of. Meaning, I agree with the idea that people aren't entitled to a story working out the way they personally want.

BUT.

In my admittedly limited time hanging out in this fandom, I don't think that's what I've seen. It's certainly not what I personally experienced in my own viewing of the finale.

While it's perfectly reasonable to say that people aren't entitled to stories working out the way they want, I think it's just as reasonable to say that they are allowed to expect a story to function and resolve following its own internal rules. They are allowed to assume a story will maintain its genre, follow through with its message, address loose threads in a way that makes sense within its established logic.

It's not "entitled" to be weirded out and disappointed when your whimsical, fun, satirical comedy-with-a-dash-of-romance suddenly veers wildly off-course and ends up awkwardly metamorphosing into a nihilistic tragedy. It's not petty or whiny to be sad about characters you've known and loved for years being destroyed so suddenly and unexpectedly. Falling in love with a story that - for decades - has had a specific, uplifting, accepted thematic message, only to be upset when that message is abruptly tossed out and replaced with something wildly different isn't the same as demanding writers bend to your will.

Isn't that the point of choosing a genre, or an established fiction? If I want to watch something scary, I'll seek out horror. If I want something heartwarming, I'll go for... I dunno... a Pixar movie or whatever. That's not me demanding things or being entitled; it's me making a choice about what I want to see based upon the established characteristics of specific bits of media.

People aren't upset just because they didn't get the kiss they wanted; they're upset because they decided to watch GO3 with the understanding that this piece of fiction was built around a specific sort of theme and vibe and wholesome message - based upon an established canon - and then they were smacked upside the head with something entirely different.

It was disorienting for me, and I've just been partaking in this fandom for a few months. I can't even imagine how shocking and jarring it was for people who've been here for years.

I read Snow on the Beach and I lovedddd it!

The complex dynamics, high stakes setting, omega yoongi who is very yoongi, how omega jimin was portrayed, Pack alpha hosoek, the hurt/comfort and all that. I absolutely loved how yoongi hated all the alphas and they all hated him but he was accidentally bonded to their omega, so they all had to tolerate each other and go from hate to love.

I need hate to love, impossible conflict, high stakes...

if you give have recs please do send them to me I'll love you forever 😍

(signal boost is appreciated - also if you know a blog that helps rec/find fics please let me know)

I don't know who needs to see this, but finding love in middle age is possible. I know. I've done it. Even when you're both non-binary. Even when you're both asexual. Across continents. Without expecting it.

Its possible to one day look at the friend that has been there for you through the most challenging days of your life and have a very italicized oh. Oh no. In your head.

One day they may even unexpectedly kiss you as you stand there, completely frozen and when they start to apologise you say "no, please do it again."

And for one day them to tell you they think they're in love with you as you both laugh with joy at this little bit of hope.

It is possible to find the kind of love where you fall asleep holding hands every night, still a bit amazed this has happened.

Truth be told, its possible to find this love because of Aziraphale and Crowley rather than requiring their sacrifice. At least that's how it worked for us.

But in case you needed hope that middle aged queer love stories are out there, I promise you they are.

Imagine if every time you ordered chocolate cake, it was always either taken away by the waiters before you could finish, or the last few bites tasted disgusting and put you off the whole cake. And when you bring this up, people who like vanilla cake say that this sometimes happens to them too, but don't listen when you tell them that this happens disproportionately to chocolate cake.

And sometimes, a bakery will advertise chocolate cake but its really just a vanilla cake with chocolate chips. And you take it, because at least its got chocolate but you just wish it was advertised properly.

And sometimes, people say that something is a vanilla chocolate chip cake but its not even chocolate! Its just sultanas that everyone thinks were meant to be chocolate, but the bakery never said it was going to chocolate, even if they never said it wasn't.

And whenever you go into a new bakery looking for chocolate cake, everyone looks at you weirdly and tells you to enjoy vanilla chocolate chip cake when maybe you don't want the focus to be on vanilla.

And when you DO get chocolate cake, its always the same kind. And you settle, because hey, beggars cant be choosers, right? Its always just white chocolate all the way through, no dark chocolate, no milk chocolate, not even a Mars bar on the side. It feels more like a vanilla cake, to be honest, regardless of the fact that its undeniably technically chocolate.

And you just wish that just once you could finish a chocolate cake and have it taste nice all the way through, especially with all the growing hatred towards chocolate in the world, but every time you order one, no matter how much you ask the waiter not to take it, or trust the chef not to make it taste bad at the center, you never get a good chocolate cake. And you can make your own, but its never going to be sold in bakeries.

This is a post about being a fan of queer media

I heard we were talking about high!Ilya on painkillers today and I know it’s cheesy but I do think Mr. Big Husband Guy would absolutely be one of those dudes who looks at Shane after he comes out of a minor procedure and just. Loses his shit. Huuuuuge smile, cannot stop looking at Shane and calling him beautiful and nice and asking him questions in a very poor attempt at flirting. He thinks he’s being slick when he outright asks if Shane is married.

And Shane is like, “yeah, I’m married to you.”

This is the greatest news Ilya has ever heard. “What?” He asks, happy tears springing to his eyes. “Me?”

“Yeah.”

“For real?”

“Yeah, Ilya, of course. I love you; we’re married.”

“You love me?”

“Yeah,” Shane laughs. “A lot.”

“Wow. Wow.” Ilya is stunned. “I really married you?”

“Yeah look.” Shane takes his hand and shows him the wedding band on his finger before showing off his own. He presses a sweet, chaste kiss to Ilya’s mouth and the poor guy melts.

“Oh wow,” Ilya sighs. Then pauses. “Wait, come back here. We’re married, come—”

And that’s how Shane manages to find himself sloppily making out in Ilya’s tiny hospital bed, with Ilya murmuring wow every other kiss.

I think they really jumped the shark with the Book of Life. Once you introduce a nuclear option like that you have to have a justification for why it hasn't been used before now. (For example, why haven't Aziraphale and Crowley been written out if they're so much trouble?)

The Book of Life is not secret (at least not after s2 when it was retconned in); it's not particularly well-guarded; it's targeted; the cost associated with using it is low (you might go crazy but not before you have time to do a lot of damage); there's no danger of mutually assured destruction as long as you hang onto it. It's the kind of unlimited power that automatically makes things less interesting.

One thing that was really intriguing at the end of s1 was the suggestion that other angels and demons were kind of afraid of Aziraphale and Crowley because they didn't know what they were anymore. (And I was really hoping for a payoff moment that revealed that, bodyswap ruse aside, they actually had becomes immune to hellfire and holy water because they'd been on Earth so long they really had "gone native" and become a little bit human, in the way that Adam Young was human and also a little bit something else.)

And then when they did the accidental 25 lazari miracle I thought what was being set up was the revelation that angels and demons are super powerful when they're able to team up and do joint miracles together, but no one's ever figured it out before because sides, etc. And that this was going to be used in the story either to protect the entire Earth from the meddling of angels and demons, and/or to somehow break down the division between Heaven and Hell.

But alas.
