Obsessed with Crowley perpetually looming behind Aziraphale and whispering in his ear like a little shoulder demon. They're such cuties

"Scam" you mean people are fighting back against housing discrimination??? I don't think these people know what the word scam means

Scams are designed to trick someone into giving up money based on lies. This is just.. asking for information then legally enforcing the law??

Fuck landlords

it’s funny how we’re getting to the point in the AI lifespan where you can feel the desperation from tech companies to have you use their AI features. instagram has moved their AI effects to the top of the menu when you’re creating a post for your story, exactly where the draw/edit button used to be. gmail is creating one-click AI-generated replies right before you open up the text box. spotify put a beta AI playlist generator on the front page that looks just like a search bar so all of their users accidentally click on it when they go to search for a song.

tech companies are shaking in their boots trying to prove to shareholders that their investment in AI is worth it, to the point where they’re tricking their users into using the AI features even for a split second in order to fudge the numbers. like awww is your little environment-destroying toy not wielding the results you hoped for? so sad!

we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

you'll see the glare, of everyone you burned just to get there...

We are living in a timeline where the GO finale involved Aziraphale and Crowley never properly making up, spending a grumpy day together, and then dying.

I need to keep reminding myself of that. Because this outcome was so unimaginable to me. In the 990 days I spent waiting for the finale I never once considered this possibility.

This is the ending that we got. I'm getting closer to accepting it, but I'm not quite there. That's why I'm making this post - not to rile up the fandom that I know is divided. I love the positive takes too, keep em comin'. I just... need a little more time to accept that this is what we got.

I think on the other side of it I will be able to say: Yes, that was a show I loved. Didn't love the ending. But that's true for lots of shows. You've just gotta exist in the moments before that end and in all the art that comes after.

Edited to add: For me "accept" does not mean "like it" or even "internalize as canon". I don't think I'll ever do either of those things. But for me accept means stop feeling shock that this is what happened. That this is the story that was written, that was filmed. That they teased us for years, Rob showed us dolls kissing, Amazon shared fan art of them kissing, nothing but positive messaging when actually the finale was a tragedy.

Aziraphale and Crowley are selfish, and that’s exactly why I love them

They were never supposed to be martyrs for humanity, and that was the point. Every motive they had to save the earth came from selfishness.

They loved through hedonism. They loved humanity, loved earthly pleasures, and more than anything they loved each other. They don’t even fully consider meddling in the apocalypse until Crowley brings up THEIR life, wines, restaurants, parks.

Aziraphale fully intended to blow up a kid to save his life on earth. Crowley took a pause as the world was ending, just to mourn his car, and even then, he only stops time to save the earth because Aziraphale had threatened to “never talk to him again” if he didn’t do something about it. Crowley asks Aziraphale to run away from earth with him, leave it all behind. Even in Aziraphale going to heaven, it was to keep THEIR lives safe, to prevent further action from Heaven that would sully their perfect life on earth.

The both of them disobeyed their superiors, time and time again, knowing it would likely kill them, all for their life together.

And that’s why I just don’t believe it, the end of it all. The idea that Aziraphale and Crowley, hedonistic, selfish, bastards worth knowing they are, that when faced with a choice between keeping their lives as they were, or complete and utter erasure, that they would choose the latter?

No. I disagree entirely.

Both seasons, 1 and 2, they have been established as these individuals, with these beliefs, and these convictions and what not. To just go against that?? Entirely??? If I had the responsibility to pick up a story that didn’t belong to me, getting the character’s beliefs right is like the FIRST THING IM DOING. I’m analyzing, I’m scouring, I’m getting that shit right, because if I don’t, then it’s not the same story, NONE OF IT MATTERS.

Perhaps that is the rant complete. To summarize my scatter brain, they have been established hedonists for both seasons 1-2, if there was any pair of characters across the characters multiverse I’d expect to NOT sacrifice their lives, it’d be Aziraphale and Crowley, maybe for each other, but for NOTHING ELSE.

So yeah 👍
