Here’s that Book Crowley about to beat TV Crowley’s ass!
He ain’t havin it!!! NOT ONE BIT!
Wash your ASS, son!!!
And another thing, because I haven’t talked enough.
On the subject of whether or not they should’ve kissed: Some say no, some say yes; discourse. I am more so towards the side of “shoulda”
For me, it really isn’t about whether or not their bond is enough to leave things unspoken: it’s the fact that there’s been a buildup left unresolved, and I’ve got a pressure headache.
6000 years of treading on eggshells- major point of the series: THEY’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK TOGETHER. To express anything more than formalities risks both of their wellbeing’s. We see this time and time again- “Should I say thank you?” “Better not.”
There is this fear surrounding their every interaction that, after season 1, is resolved, now we get to the part where these two uncoil. Thousands of years of repression, these two need time to breathe, to know they’re safe, let the air out of the jar so to speak.
End of season 2 they get wound up again, every moment before and since has lead up to that release, the moment these two air it all out, for the first time since gaining corporeal form, they’re gonna say what they really think, they’re going to talk.
we arrive at the now thinking “What happened?”
That release? The uncoil? This race has been going for nine damn hours, I wanted to see the racers cross the finish line- BUT THEY DIDN’T. They stopped for water half a mile out, AND WERE NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
It didn’t have to be a kiss, honestly forget the kiss- they needed to talk. A kiss would’ve relieved pressure, a conversation more so, but a kiss is still very much relevant, it’s a proclamation damnit, they get to be outward, to express.
And so I’m bothered, thank you for your time
Good omens 3 killed the main human characteristic of Crowley and Aziraphale: selfishness
You can’t convince me that mr “let’s go off to Alpha Centauri” isn’t selfish, he wants what’s best for him and Aziraphale , sure he is amused by humans and loves worldly things but ultimately he can totally sacrifice everything for Aziraphale and him to be together.
Aziraphale on the other hand is selfish as well: he keeps Maggie’s shops “alive” by forgiving her the rent because he wants to have his records, he cannot bring himself to sell ONE book.
I loved them being selfish just like humans would, why kill this part of them and make them saints?!
You worded this perfectly omg
YES. 100%. Their loss of character as the series went on drives me absolutely MAD- THEY’RE HEDONISTS!! How have we forgotten the ancient texts??? They set up their arrangements so they DIDNT HAVE TO WORK, they are slouchers at heart and it KILLS me that the writers have forgotten.
Y'all
I figured it out.
The first thing Archangel Michael erased from the Book of Life was AziCrow's single shared braincell. That's how it happened.
oh, but imagine if your tumblr dash was now flooded with gifs and pictures of aziracrow hugging and kissing and saying 'i love you'. imagine if you could replay that moment when they hugged so tightly and grin widely, kicking your feet all giddy and happy
what if everyone was comforted by the finale? if there was no fight over who is in the right, just as we were all united in pain after s2? if everyone was happy, including them and including us? if that 90 minutes gave us what we were hoping for? if the finale wasnt so cold and heartless and instead loving and tender? if they actually ended up in their south downs cottage and there were nightingales and we would actually see it and they would be free and happy and-
I’m SOBBING- it absolutely kills me
Me, concluding my summary of a romcom I watched today: everything worked out and only that one person died early on.
Spouse: Gotta love a romcom with a low death count!
Me: Yeah, 8+ billion is a pretty high death count for a romcom. Very unusual
"average romcom has 3 deaths" factoid actualy just statistical error. average romcom has 0 deaths. The Good Omens finale that had 8+ billion, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Do we also count the people who are in the alleged afterlife of heaven and hell? Is the afterlife confirmed to exist? If god restarts the universe- do the people in the afterlife also go? Cause they would have to exist again?
(Edit: the nazis did go to hell, so the afterlife is real- wouldn’t they ALSO have to exist again? For them to be in the hell, hell would have to exist, so since it doesn’t that means they were also reset-)
(Stepped on a bombshell here- I think everyone who was living peacefully in heaven is gone too, So that’s like… an INNUMERABLE amount of casualties)
Oh god
Time after time… 🤍🖤✨
SORRY THAT THIS ISN’T MORE REFINED BUT I NEEDED TO DRAW ASA X ANTHONY BEFORE MY HEART EXPLODED!!! 💖😭✨THEY ARE THEM AND THEIR LOVE!!!!
If you’re still struggling with the ending, have no fear, my darlings! I have a lil’ canon-compliant fix it-ish comic planned for the near future. 💖🫂✨ BUT for now I’m back to the Fallen comic book grind. 💖🫡✨
So let's start from the premise that it's normal and not incompetent for writers to spend over 13 hours telling the stories of two characters to and audience and then expect this audience to have zero emotional investment in these characters' well-being. Let's just assume that only the humans matter and any amount of tragedy and suffering on the part of the supernatural protagonists of this light satirical comedy is unimportant because they are fundamentally subhuman and disposable.
the season 3 ending is a raw deal for the humans too!
They don't get to decide if they want to live, or if their flawed world can be improved, they get it decided for them by a demon that they are better off dead.
then they get reincarnated, meaning that they now have less free will than ever before, as their personalities, relationships, preferences etc are dictated by things that happened to their previous self.
This new wonderful world that everyone had to die for is still just as bad as the old one, just as full of suffering (of course, because humans always had free will and always were ultimately the ones who dictated what was going on). It's just, you know, now people aren't as free, because they're re-living their old lives.
You're telling me that this is humanism? that this is optimistic and beautiful? I've got a bridge to sell you too...
How convenient that they decided not to show how a frightened mother with her child disappears. A group of teenagers. A family of cats. A couple walking in the park. An old lady selling flowers. The main thing is to sprinkle it all with glittery “self-sacrifice for the good of humanity,” while not showing how no one actually asked that same humanity, and how its fate ended up in the hands of two supernatural beings (again). Great.
Just imagine how terrified Adam must have been when he realized that his act of courage and free will had all been for nothing. Imagine how scared he was when his family disappeared. Or think about Warlock, who never got the chance to live a life free from his father’s control. Or Anathema. Or Newt. Or Mr. Shadwell and Madame Tracy. Imagine them all disappearing, and how terrified they must have been in those moments.
Good Omens has always treated every life as equally valuable. There are no lives that matter more or less than others. It has always shown how even the smallest decisions matter, the smallest details, the seemingly insignificant people (like Elspeth and little Morag). It has always shifted the focus away from something vast and abstract onto something small, personal, and yet no less precious or beautiful.
What the hell, Season 3?
This wouldn’t have happened on Adam’s watch. Put him in that garden, when they made their decision- he would’ve torn that bullshit to PIECES.
Him and his English little face, all deadpan, absolutely TEARING through whatever poorly written reasoning would possess them to conclude with erasure. My absolute DAWG, my number one boy. NOT ON HIS WATCH. 🫵
it surprises me when people call the ending “not homophobic” simply because it leaves two men in a romantic relationship. the problem is not that anthony and asa fell in love with each other. the problem is that aziraphale and crowley, characters with one of the most unusual and deeply developed queer stories in modern fantasy, were sacrificed for it
a romance between two men does not automatically make a story good representation. especially when those characters are reduced to a set of generic traits: they are kind, they love each other, and that is basically it. we have already seen countless stories like that, and this is not just about gay relationships. people loved aziraphale and crowley not because they were a couple. they loved them as individuals: complex, contradictory characters with their own dynamic, history, and personalities that developed over many years. that is why it feels so strange to watch them be replaced with a flatter version of the same idea
to me, bad representation is not the absence of a kiss. it is when unique queer characters are erased in favor of a safer and more conventional romantic story. that is a disservice to the fandom
All of the queer people got a bad ending. It feels intentional as fuck. Everyone of them. Their lives destroyed, or meaninglessly killed off screen before ultimately being erased.
This isn't good representation, it's just being like heres some crumbs, and if you dont like it youre evil and harming fandom.
Agreed. Sure maybe they couldn't get the actors/actresses back for the Finale but they didn't have to invent a bad ending for them???
Imagine if Max (Mutt's spouse) only said that Mutt is elsewhere in the country or not around that particular day, no one would have questioned it. But they just had to say he died in what appeared to be an act of self-unaliving???? It was so unnecessary.
Maggie and Nina lost their shops and had to move away.
AziCrow end up becoming stardust.
And everyone in the world got evaporated. Worst ending for all the humans, especially queer people.
The point is (…dolphins) that to get a happy ending, we could have stopped after season 1 OR the writers could have made different choices. Both were entirely possible.
(I couldn’t find a quote that said what I wanted so I made one. I’ve heard many people say similar things, so I’m not claiming it’s unique😅)
I’ll never stop talking about this

Hrmmm I think Commander Maxil should have tortured the Doctor a little in arc of infinity. Regenerating out of pure spite with the face of the man who shot you is insane enough. Imagine regenerating with the face of your torturer. Follow me for more insights on how we can make DW more erotic
Book Omens Week 2026: Interest Check
Hypothetically, if I were to organise a Book Omens week this year (within the next few months), would anyone contribute to that? It would likely be an Ao3 collection and a designated tag for Tumblr/Bsky/Twitter/Instagram, nothing much more complicated than that.
Please feel free to reblog for numbers! (Also, if anyone would want to help coordinate things if there’s enough interest, feel free to DM me!)
Would you be interested in a Book Omens week?
Yes, I’d like to contribute!
Yes, I’d like to see and reblog art and fics!
No, not my thing
I just want to see the results
I get why people are accusing NG of making the finale bad on purpose and out of malice. But one thing he got real testy about back when he was keeping his asks open on here is being called out for bad writing, plot holes, continuity, etc. So I’m choosing to just tell whoever will listen “maybe it was malicious- but honestly I think he’s just a bad writer and kinda stupid”
Was the finale written out of malice? Perhaps.
Is Neil Gaiman a bad TV writer and kinda stupid? This we can’t possibly refute.
