Really hate how “mommy and daddy issues” just a jab at the child and not the parent

Oh, so your parent(s) traumatized you when you were vulnerable and defenseless, and they let you down when you were reliant on them for your emotional needs? Lol idiot.

My ENTIRE world just shifted to the left a bit. Thanks.

I think one of the things I most disliked about the Good Omens finale was how they made God both tangible and undeniably sadistic.

First of all, I never wanted to see God. I think God has to be an offscreen character for Her to work at all because the whole POINT of God in Good Omens is that NO ONE actually knows who She is or what She wants. It’s INEFFABLE. But what makes me even more upset is that they took away the mystery behind her motivations and just made her cruel.

In S1 and the book, you get the sense that God is well-meaning, but perhaps got a bit carried away as time went on. She’s a workaholic parent that might have started off with good intentions, but is ultimately an absent parent, and her children all suffer for it. Heaven and Hell don’t actually KNOW what God wants, they’re just doing what they think God wants because she’s left them all alone at home with no instructions and no babysitter.

God is a CEO with too many projects on their plate and doesn’t check their email, and Heaven and Hell are middle managers doing their best not to become the reason she starts checking it again.

And so in S1 and the book, it’s easy to see God as more indifferent than cruel- in fact, I’d argue that’s one of the main themes of the book, that indifference is often just as harmful (or even more so) than “pure evil,” if that even exists. The whole POINT of Good Omens originally was that there’s no such thing as “pure good” or “pure evil.”

But God in the finale is undeniably cruel, because she is fully aware of what she’s been doing and what’s been going on. She’s been watching gleefully through it all. She’s not the absent parent with good intentions anymore, she’s the parent manipulating and encouraging her children to fight and hurt each other for her own amusement. It’s sick, it’s evil. It’s cartoonishly evil. There is no way to argue that it was all “ineffable,” because she explains it quite clearly: she wanted to watch them suffer.

It’s like the CEO has gone from not knowing what happens in the office when they’re gone, to a CEO purposefully hiring terrible managers and underpaying staff so they can LAUGH ABOUT IT.

Now, of course, you could have interpreted God that way all along. But the point was that you had a choice- you, the reader/viewer, got to decide if God was aware of what was going on, or fully “checked out.” You were able to argue that God isn’t fully good or bad, She just is. But a God who sits there and knowingly, gleefully watches her Creation play out just for pure entertainment? That’s intent. She did this to keep herself amused when She got bored.

They tried to give God fangs, and in doing so, took away her claws. The whole reason God is so scary and wonderful in S1 is because you don’t actually know if She’s paying attention. You don’t know if She is listening or not, just like real life. You talk to Her anyway. And now we know that She was taking notes so She could use pain points against her children at a later date to see how they’d respond. God’s no longer scary or mysterious or anything like that, she’s just cruel, and that is the most boring interpretation I can think of.

SOUND THE FUCKING ALARM DROP WHAT YOU’RE DOING GRACE AND ROCKY WERE ORIGINALLY STORYBOARDED HOLDING HANDS WHEN ROCKY SHOWS HIM THE BLIP-A . DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT TO DO

youve got the universe's top two yearners right there

someone to watch you sleep :)

(I also love the running gag that Adrian is much larger than Rocky--I raise you the concept that Adrian is a behemoth compared to Rocky)

This is my story about Grace being turned into an Eridian and all the adventures that followed.

And nothing bad ever happened ever again.

Hey Rocky! I have a suggestion if you want to learn a LOT more words. There's a game called 'Cards Against Humanity' that has a lot of fun words in it, and a lot of them are ones Grace probably wouldn't think to teach you. And then if Grace won't tell you what they mean, there's this great website called 'Urban Dictionary' that will know them. :)

You could even ask Grace and Simon to play the game with you, since it's very funny. Team bonding!

Oh, oh, oh! Sounds much fun. Rocky love human culture learning moments. Rocky will get hand on Cards Against Humanity. Rocky will play with Grace and Simon.

Rocky will make use of Urban Dictionary if Grace be stubborn. Thank fruitcakebro!

Even though Eridians don't dream, do you think a conscious-transferred Grace would have some human traits still? Like, I imagine that his sleep is pretty deep, but he still will respond to LOUD noises and has some dreams. His body was grown in a tube and probably tinkered with to fit his human consciousness, after all.

Could also include, like, a stupidly high pain tolerance. Ryland is used to being squishy human and having many bruises all the time. Minor injury to him is nothing, but Eridians are touch as nails. If they get a minor break in the carapace, they freak the freak out because they *don't* get little cuts or things often.

Eridian Sleeping is definitely new for a long time for him

Hey if I may ask, is something wrong with Grace's fifth leg? The one he uses as a tail? (Maybe you've even already answered it) Or does he like to use it to express his emotions?

Thank you for asking! So in the PHM movie - behind the scenes - they refer to Rocky's "weird leg" as his "goat leg" (I don't know why). It's the one he uses in a "scorpion tail" position the one time he's briefly threatened (?) by Grace

It doesn't open into a proper "claw" at the end the way his "normal hands" do, but it is functional!

From the fanon perspective, I like the reading that this is Rocky's unique deformity. Maybe having 5 identical claws is considered the "norm", but he's more than capable of being the engineering mechanical genius that he is with 4 "normal" claws. I've also seen a reading that this is the "designated attack claw".

So! In the Eridian Heart AU,

Rocky has a deformed claw because he was just born like that.

Adrian has a deformed claw (theirs is curly and I totally don't keep forgetting to draw it that way on occasion) because they were just born like that.

Grace's new body happened to have one "dud" claw and it was kinda made on a short notice so they didn't have time to remake it. Aka he was just "born" like that.

They maaatch 🧡💚💛

Grace poses the least threat of the 3 with his "attack claw", but it's okay, it's not like he will ever need to use it to defend himself, or find himself threatened. ^u^

...On a brighter note he is quite fond of wagging it!

eridian-heart

More asks, answering @mackarooon and @gendeerdeer, order up 💛

If your ask sounds like an Eridian is saying it (not by grammar, by context) and I'm feeling particularly inspired, I might turn your tumblr avatar into an Eridian stand-in for something like this. No guarantees or promises, I'm just having fun here

Thank you for your interest in my AU 💙
