“We’ve known each other a long time. We’ve been on this planet for a long time. I mean, you and me. I could always rely on you. You could always rely on me. We’re a team, a group. Group of the two of us. And we’ve spent our existence pretending that we aren’t. I mean, the last few years, not really. And I would like to spend… I mean if Gabriel and Beelzebub can do it, go off together, then we can. Just the two of us. We don’t need Heaven, we don’t need Hell, they’re toxic. We need to get away from them, just be an us. You and me, what do you say?”

Crowley’s confession (S2E6 Every Day)

[til-tonight-do-us-part]

i simply don’t want to hear any criticism of the good omens finale, especially anything along the lines of “the writers mischaracterized them, they would have chosen each other”

the whole point of season one, the *original storyline*, was that they defied their bosses not because they knew they were in love, but because they loved humanity more than anything. time and again, they have always chosen humanity, and them choosing humanity again was always the answer.

that, and aziraphale literally says “you know what i want, but that’s not what matters.” he wants them to be an “us” too, but he knows that it’s all bigger than their love. humanity matters more, true free-willed humanity — and to be human is to choose love.

(and i truthfully believe they both knew they’d find each other again somehow.)

I love Dustin and Steve. I love them so much. But stabbing the mindflayer belly with what were essentially toothpicks? Was that… was that meant to hurt it? I’m still not over how confusing that entire aspect of the fight that is.

[fruchox]

They were so DESPERATELY trying to connect everything the mindflayer. They just shoved it in like an afterthought that got killed by being stabbed in the stomach and some surface-level burns. The hivemind with Vecna should not have hurt it as much as it did and I am so angry we did not get at least one of our promised deaths out of it. Such a cop-out of a battle sequence.

(And how, after being the only character killed by the original mindflayer, did Billy not get a scene in the flashback? If Max had been there I very much think that that scene would’ve been included, but she was just so left out of everything!)

I haven’t watched the episodes that came out on Christmas yet but I have thoughts about Will coming out. Okay. Bear with me.

For all the duffers push 80s nostalgia they have done a piss poor job at showing what the mindset in the 80s was actually like. There are no stakes based around that in any topic. So with Will coming out there’s no tension for the viewer because we already know everyone loves him. Will’s the baby of the group.

We don’t have the setup for what the dangers and fears of being gay in the 80s would be like. We have a distant knowledge of it but we never saw any consequences of it. But WHO do we KNOW suffered homophobia on screen and would’ve been a PERFECT way to setup some real world consequences so we’d know what to fear when we find out Will is gay instead of hand waving it?

Who could POSSIBLY do that?

Of course it’s Billy :)

i don't think billy is a fan of christmas

That feeling when you’re writing a fanfic and can’t remember a single thing you’ve done to the character, only that you’ve caused them to suffer

ahkmenrah is not nearly in the NatM movies enough. where is he. where is he I beg of you.

Does anyone in the good omens community know what happened to the author WorseOmens? I was trying to see which of my downloaded fics were deleted and all three are by that author, whose account has also been deleted. They’re one of my favourite authors and I’m sad that their works are gone apart from the three I saved. Any info available??

[lattefissssssssh]

THIS IS NOT REAL. If you get this comment, they’re just trying to get you to delete your fic.

1) I would have gotten some kind of email from Ao3 if this was true

2) this comment is formatted to be perfect to tack onto any fic they choose

3) ALSO why on earth would Ao3 get rid of entire fandoms off the site? Even if they WERE inactive? Who knows if others will be ‘late’ to the fandom and want some fic to read. Who knows if someone wants to come back to their 6 year old account only to find most of their fics deleted.

I’m lucky to be a reasonable adult who has seen tricks like these who also had a very kind person comment their own doubts.

Please let your Ao3 friends know <3

TIL that Gothic literature makes a distinction between “terror” and “horror.” Terror is the sense of dread and apprehension that precedes an experience, horror is the sense of revulsion after an experience.

Someone described the modern difference as such:  Fear is knowing that a werewolf is hunting you.  Terror is when you see it and it charges at you.  Horror is realizing that your feet are stuck to the floor.

Happy valentines day!! Here are (some) of the most romantic lines from NBC Hannibal.

“I don’t find you that interesting.” / “You will.”

"I see his madness, and I want to contain it, like an oil spill."

"I let you know me. See me. I gave you a rare gift, but you didn't want it." / "Didn't I?"

"You cannot control with respect to whom you fall in love."

"I would have liked to have shown you Florence, Will."

“I don't know if I can save myself. Maybe that's just fine.”

“No one can be fully aware of another human being unless we love them.”

"You were supposed to leave." / "We couldn’t leave without you."

"I wasn't decided when I called him. I just called him. I deliberated while the phone rang. I decided when I heard his voice." / "I wanted to run away with him."

“Hannibal… I forgive you.” / “You dropped your forgiveness, Will. You forgive how God forgives.”

"Do you fantasize about killing me?" / "Yes." / "Tell me, how would you do it?" / "With my hands."

"I have never known myself as well as I know myself when I'm with him."

"Is Hannibal in love with me?' / "Could he daily feel a stab of hunger for you and find nourishment at the very sight of you? Yes. But do you... ache for him?'

“I need you, Hannibal.”

“If I saw you every day, forever, Will, I would remember this time.”

“And the bluff is still eroding. You and I are suspended over the roiling Atlantic. Soon all of this will be lost to the sea.”

“This is all I ever wanted for you, Will. For both of us.” / "It’s beautiful."
