Was it perfect? Nothing ever is and Good Omens 3 is no exception. I could find things to complain about, but that's not what I think is most important right now. Instead, I'm going to just make a quick list of some things I'm grateful for under the cut (spoilers).
1) Aziraphale told Crowley he was the best Angel, that he was more worthy of heaven than any of the other angels- including himself.
2) Crowley got to ask God his question, and I think God gave him one answer when Crowley chose to save humanity over himself and Aziraphale.
3) Muriel figured out it was Michael on their own.
4) Aziraphale said "our Bentley."
5) Crowley forgave him.
6) Jesus was wholesome without being saccharin or corny
7) David and Michael did such a beautiful job. That scene in Eden? Masterfully performed.
8) Crowley's gold suit in heaven and his human alter ego's fit in the bookshop. (Glorious and delicious, respectively.)
9) God is a black woman (like we didn't know)
10) Supernatural vibes with the archangels' silhouettes burning into the walls.
11) Crowley promising his plant he'd be back and then kissing it when he returns.
12) Aziraphale's "kiss" to Crowley's lips and Crowley's response. (People may not like this, but imo they didn't have enough time to earn more than that.)
13) Michael only got rid of Canada bc they knew that was as close as they could get to erasing the US without backlash. As an American I would have fully supported throwing us into the eternal flame.
14) Crowley was basically confirmed as God's favorite.
15) Aziraphale's Legolas hair and that entire opening scene.
16) "better not."
17) I choose to believe some part of the real Crowley and Aziraphale live inside human aziracrow, and that keeps me smiling through these tears.
18) "I only want one thing, and that's not what this is about anymore."
Just finished seeing SIX and it just reminded me why theatre is so important. So many people of all ages came together to see this musical, the little girl/teenager in front of me was so excited the entire time and when the time came for everyone to get up and clap she went "I LOVE YOU"
The arts are so special
So difficult to withhold the eyeroll when people say things like, "My body was designed for this" wrt childbirth or whatever, because even if I accept the premise that our bodies were designed, I have to imagine mine was designed with the most basic function of breathing in mind, and yet I had childhood asthma and would have died without intervention so idk if I'm trusting my "designer" with something as physically traumatic and historically deadly as childbirth
"Your body knows what to do" my body tries to close its own throat and die if I encounter a shrimp or perhaps a crab so idk about that one man
sorry gotta get my âfriend thatâs too wokeâ on but I donât think the solution to misogyny is more misogyny. like by all means rip into republican/right wing women but your critiques should be about how theyâre evil soulless people not âhaha theyâre ugly/visibly aged. they donât know how to put on make up!â like i donât fucking know man I donât think any woman at all should be required to wear makeup or be made fun of for not wearing it âproperlyâ also letâs stop doing the ânot conventionally attractive = morally badâ thing. that last part especially be kicking yâall asses.
Woman murders man in broad daylight
beautiful like to reblog ratio on this
That's because people are reblogging it every time they see it. Like I'm doing right now lmao
I'd still trust you with my life doctor tbh
...this is my new favourite chart
I have great news about the hair thing
The findings can help explain the physics behind phenomena like volcanic lightning
science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.
scientists on this post: yuuuup đ
people who aren't scientists: um actually âď¸
So frightening and disgusting
âIt is troubling to see that attitudes towards gender equality are not more positive," said Julia Gillard of Kingâs College London.
>Particularly among Gen Z, our data shows an interesting duality: they are both the group most likely to agree that women who have a successful career are more attractive to men but are simultaneously most likely to agree that a wife should always obey her husband and that a woman should never appear too self-sufficient or independent.
Incredibly stupid things are happening
I know these two things seem contradictory, but thereâs nothing a conservative man loves more than to tear off an angelâs wings. There are plenty of women that would willingly choose the obedient SAHM lifestyle, but these kinds of men always seem to go for the opposite. Why? Because itâs a power play. Thereâs no need to break a horse thatâs already broken, and that would do nothing to validate that man, his ego, and his place in a world he sees as designed for him.
Another factor is that these men avoid dating conservative women who already want the lives they want them to have because those women's standards are too high. Specifically, such women expect to be the obedient stay at home mum, but they also expect their men to be the masculine ideal from the other half of the equation -- they tend to look down on their men if they cry, they expect them to be able to financially provide for the household, they want them to uphold their end of the bargain. You see this again and again in groups of conservative men who go out of their way to date liberal women; there is a power play, to tame someone untamed and bring her into line with his expectations, but there's also her lack of expectations of him. They want a woman who will do all the household and keep the home but ALSO will not reject him for not being able to afford to finance the family alone. They want a woman who'll respect and obey him but ALSO be fun and relaxed and let him show whatever emotions he wants. They want the Perfect Trad Wife who won't expect him to be the Perfect Trad Husband.
You see the same thing in conservatives who complain that all their leftie friends are abandoning them, but who won't just hang out with right wing friends instead. They don't want to hang out with other righties because a group of righties quickly becomes judgy and hateful and socially competitive, and is only fun to hang out with when they want to vent, whereas their leftie friends were more relaxed and fun. They want license to be unpleasant and expect unreasonable things of others, but want the people around them to be pleasant and not expect unreasonable things of them.
We have some excellent commentary here, but I want you to keep in mind an adage that will serve you well on the modern internet.
"If something immediately makes me feel anger, repulsion, or joy, with even a simple blurb, it's probably manipulating me."
First off, Newsweek is hardly an unbiased source these days. The majority shareholder is Dev Pagrad, is exceptionally wealthy, and has been repeatedly pushing newsweek to be an arm of the right wing's propaganda machine. It is HARD LINE far-right, Anti-trans, anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-science To cite the Southern Poverty Law Center (by way of Wikipedia)
In November 2022, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported that Newsweek had "taken a marked radical right turn by buoying extremists and promoting authoritarian leaders" since it hired conservative political activist Josh Hammer as editor-at-large. It noted the magazine's elevation of conspiracy theorists, publication of conspiracy theories about COVID-19, views such as support for a ban on all legal immigration to the United States and denying adults access to trans-affirming medical care, and failure to disclose potential conflicts of interest in the content published on Hammer's opinion section and podcast. https://web.archive.org/web/20221106005834/https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2022/11/04/newsweek-embraces-anti-democracy-hard-right
Newsweek, when even linking to the study it cites, doesn't... actually link to the study. It just links to newsweek's "study" tab. It does MENTION the study, which allowed me to track it down. https://www.ipsos.com/en-uk/almost-third-gen-z-men-globally-agree-wife-should-obey-her-husband IPSOS is a MARKETING FIRM, whose CEO Jean Laurent Poitou, was the former head of Accenture, under whose leadership, sure did a lot of fraud, engaging in tax avoidance, and other such conservative-leaning behaviors, and who generally is affiliated with the traditional right. Let's add another one. The group "Global Institute for Womenâs Leadership at Kingâs Business School, Kingâs College London" just so happens to be at the school that the Current CEO of newsweek is not just an alum of, but is a major contributor to the funding for. It's always weird when something extremely polarizing comes from, a group that's directly funded by the CEO or owner of the conservative newspaper that's publishing it, as well as from research done by a Marketing firm in the pockets of wealthy conservatives! Funny how that always seems to happen! But if we actually look at IPSOS's study, you'll see that a lot of the numbers have been gently massaged and their methodology is EXTREMELY opaque. After all, they're not a scientific institution. They're a MARKETING FIRM. The biggest conclusion if you read their own paper, is ACTUALLY, that MOST PEOPLE seem to hold progressive views on women's autonomy, but think that THEIR COUNTRY still majority holds draconian views on women's autonomy. Things their own study says:
A Majority of Gen Z believes that women shouldn't "always obey" their husbands.
A Majority of Gen Z has concerns that their society holds draconian beliefs about women.
What the results of the SPIN on this facts, as well as how many in the comments are reacting, is actually perpetuating the Traditional Right's views on Gender and Marriage. I need you to understand that it actively benefits the traditional right when you lean into gender essentialism and believe that Men Are Evil. That Men Are Monsters. It makes the default assumption of men be that they will always be predators, meaning that when they DO do something predator, nobody's surprised; well that's just how men are; when he finds the RIGHT woman who can Tame Him, then he'll behave; that's the duty of a woman after all; to put up with men abusing her until she finds one who is the Right One, who she can handle. What this article ALSO does, is scare progressive women, scares queerfolk, scares young folk, and makes conservatives feel emboldened and empowered. You need to ALWAYS, ALWAYS, remind yourself: "If something immediately makes me feel anger, repulsion, or Joy, with even a simple blurb, it's probably manipulating me." And more than that, you need to remember the follow up:
WHO BENEFITS FROM MAKING ME FEEL THIS WAY?
Reblog for OUT-FUCKING-STANDING follow through and critical examination!
This is what we need so much more of. Thank you @sunspotpony for taking the time to do this.
Itâs easy to fall for this shit. I fall for it all the time. I was lucky enough to remember the highlighted advice, given to me by many loved ones, and hammered home to me by one of my wonderful partners.
So i would emphasize â if you fell for this, if you let it lead you to despair or anger, do not feel shame. Itâs designed to take advantage of very basic human impulses. Itâs a weapon designed to target us when we are already scared and tired and hurting. Weâre the target. Itâs difficult to dodge a trap specifically tailor-made to catch us.
Just remember â if it makes you feel strongly, positive or negative, if your first instinct is a strong emotion, youâre probably walking into a trap. And one of the fastest ways to inoculate yourself against that trap is to ask yourself âwho benefits from making me feel this way?â
Eventually, like it did with me above, youâll get lucky, youâll âremember your trainingâ (lol), and one of us will manage to recognize a trap for what it is so that we can tell others âhey, itâs not what it seems.â
World be spooky. Weâre all in this shit together. I love you, neighbors. đŞâ¨
i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick itâs a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake
fabulousÂ
i mean they did also kill jesus. that was a pretty significant thing that happened. like i understand where youâre coming from here but they very much did kill jesus.
#HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY
ok so the mommy issues comment to samira makes even more sense now.
robby has worked with dana for years and she didnât know about his mother. he has kept that part of himself completely separate.
his exact words were, ânobody knows. who needs to know? who gives a fuck!â so when samira lets that completely inform her entire work day, he simply canât understand it. thatâs something you bifurcate.
and worse, when samira complains about how her mother is too present, wants to talk to her too much, he canât relate to that at all.
he doesnât know what itâs like to have a mom that wants to talk to you. he doesnât know what itâs like to be annoyed by too many phone calls. he doesnât know what itâs like to be able to just go to people for help. heâs so envious of samira for so many reasons.
