Do you guys remember how at the end of Good Omens Season One Adam refused to end the world despite supernatural interference on both sides? And how he stood up to Satan because even though he is the Antichrist, he is also a human boy raised by humans and that humanity gives him the free will to do what he wants with his life? And how there was nothing Heaven or Hell or God or Satan could do about it?
Or in Season Two where Nina and Maggie, despite Aziraphale and Crowley’s meddling fell in love in their own way and at their own speed? And how in the end they decided to take it slow because they too had the free will to do what they like and there was nothing that Heaven or Hell or God or Satan could do about it?
The point of both of these seasons, and the point of the story as a whole has always been that humanity's free will overrides any sort of immortal interference, and that even with these factors at play, humans have the ability to choose, and they have ever since Adam and Eve ate the apple.
So why is it that in the finale they decide to go back on everything the show has ever stood for? Why is it that they turn around and say that none of it ever mattered because they didn't have free will all along. They changed the point of the story just to make Aziraphale and Crowley kill themselves and call it for the greater good. This was not, as they phrased it, the only chance humanity had to be truly free. They were free all along. And if they weren't then there was no story to begin with. Without the free will of humanity, there is no Good Omens.

Aziraphale and Crowley did NOT get a happy ending. Let that sink in.
After everything they'd gone through together, all their history, their love spanning 6000 years, they literally vanished into dust.
Their "human versions" are not them. They met each other in their 50s? 60s? and will get like 30 or so years together.
No sticking together for centuries despite being from opposite factions in an eternal conflict, no developing their rivalry, friendship, and eventually love throughout the ages, no having each other's back despite the dangers of doing so, no bickering, no rescuing each other, no "you go too fast for me, Crowley", no 'our' Bentley, no "angel" as a pet name, NO THEM. At all.
This is my worst nightmare I'm going the fuck back to sleep.
Welcome to the Powerpoint that I started 5 months ago, and then when the party was postponed indefinitely, that I swore to keep working on until someone stopped me.
I spent over 24 hours on the illustrations alone, and I taught myself logarithmic equations and how to use google sheets for this.
Rating men's ponytails in wuxia/xianxia I've seen. Part 2. Part 1.
Jiang Cheng (The Untamed) 6/10
The most underrated ponytail in The Untamed. He's canonically "maidenless" but that's just because Zidian is even sluttier than his ponytail and that scares people. That's OK, boo. You're a solid 6 on my scale.
Wei Wuxian (The Untamed) 7/10
This ponytail isn't half as slutty as that luscious red ribbon that falls somewhere between necromancer work wear and sexy lingerie. Truly a look that takes him effortlessly from office to the club! Whether he's summoning the dead or making goo-goo eyes at Lan Zhan, Wei Wuxian's ponytail slays.
Wen Kexing (Word of Honor) 7/10
I really wanted to rate him higher but he mostly wears a little bun, which falls outside the parameters of this assessment. So I am rating this anemic little ponytail higher than it probably deserves.
Xiao Heng (The Double) 8/10
Duke Su always wears his hair in a neat, proper, masculine bun held by a golden guan that suits his high status and emphasizes his power. He only wears it in a ponytail in the situations where having long hair flying around your face could get you killed: during battle. He also does it when he's training shirtless in the rain, as one does. His simple, unadorned ponytail serves cunt way above its paygrade.
Xue Yang (The Untamed) 8/10
This crazy motherfucker's ponytail is just as chaotic and unpredictable as he is. He's so dangerous that even his ponytail could probably kill a man at 50 paces.
Young Zhao Yuanzhou and Li Lun (Fangs of Fortune) 9/10
I mean...just look at them! Can't even be bothered to comb their hair properly before tying it up in shaggy little ponytails because they know they're going to tumble right back into bed anyway, so why bother. So slutty.
Scorpion King (Word of Honor) 9/10
The braids! The silver and turquoise guan! The lavish yet restrained and obviously kinky longing they imply!
Mu Sheng (Love Game in Eastern Fantasy) 10/10
I've only seen a couple episodes so far, but this guy's ponytail is a whole mood. It looks like something a 1960s pinup model would wear, and he flounces it around like one constantly, pouting and letting strands of hair fall seductively over his face.
Xu Qi'an (Guardians of the Dafeng) 10/10
Xu Qi'an's ponytail is so slutty it's on OnlyFans. It's so slutty he needs to use birth control every time he does his hair. It's so slutty it whistles at construction workers when he walks past them. How long does it take him to curl his hair to give it the maximum bounce and fullness? Why does he also wear it on the top of his head like a 60s pinup girl? How can everyone tell he's not a virgin? PUH-LEEZE! I still haven't finished this show, but as far as I'm concerned, this ponytail is the star.

If LBH ever learned the truth he would deadass think that Fate brought SQQ to him all for him. His possessive ass would be even more obsessed. His ego would inflate beyond mortal comprehension.
i strongly believe that in any universe modern or otherwise lwj uses lan xichen as a kind of confessional like a catholic priest. he literally comes into lan xichen's room at four pm precisely because that's the scheduled time that he allows himself to share an Emotion with his brother and sits down and says in a distinctly monotone yet perfectly recognisably anguished tone 'brother i have sinned' and lan xichen sighs very quietly because he doesn't want to hurt his brother's feelings and puts down his pen and says 'is this about wei wuxian' very gently and Lan Wangji is like 'mn' because it has never once Not been about wei wuxian. and then he says something that is Kind Of Weird, But Still Not A Sin like 'he fell asleep when we were studying and i watched his ribcage moving up and down for thirty eight minutes until he choked on nothing and woke himself up; am i evil' and once again lan xichen will kind of not-sigh in a way that makes it very obvious that in all other ways except physical he Is, Indeed, Sighing and has to reassure the most rigidly distraught younger brother in the history of mankind that what he is suffering from is in fact a malady known colloquially as a crush
