I'm just here to enjoy the beauty of fandoms.

[just-asking-questions123]

I’m bringing you a new fanfic – one that fixes a few things that Good Omens 3 got wrong. Hope you’ll enjoy it

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary: God grants their wish with terrifying literalness.

Heaven is gone. Hell is gone. Even God is gone.

Aziraphale awakens inside a newborn universe and spends billions of years becoming part of it guided only by the certainty that somewhere, somehow, Crowley still exists.

A story about evolution, reincarnation, and a love stubborn enough to survive the death of God.

iwtv continues to be so smart in its portrayal of memories and trauma, the way lestat’s memories of his family are so obnoxiously loud, everyone’s screaming all the time for no reason and everyone’s acting like caricatures, like an actual assault on the senses, as if lestat’s mind is filled with unbearable noise every time he thinks about them. lestat’s memories coming at him all fragmented and loud and violent, attacking him and beating him into submission as he desperately tries to escape them is such an interesting contrast to how louis would carefully weave a thread of his past pretending the glaring holes in it weren’t there

[hesitantlyhappy]

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

And I'm loving it

destiel + insane shit they say to each other

[just-asking-questions123]

Oh my God, I've just realised that one of them – Asa or Anthony – is going to have to die first. One of them is going to have to lose and bury the other. Can you imagine that? I think I'm going to be sick

[sunraysss]

Feeling like Job right now.

I don’t want new children (reincarnations of aziracrow)

I want my OLD CHILDREN (the original aziracrow)

I think the greater crime than the bad hair is that they turned Anthony into ANGEL Crowley. Astrophysics and all. Zero reference to snakes/ plants/ music/ cars. Crowley fought for 3 seasons to be seen as who he IS and not the angel he used to be, and not to be judged for his fall, and it was all for nothing. "God's best angel" give me a break no wonder he decided to off them both

Ok, now that we’ve had a week to think about it, here’s another, more S1-ish fix it (as the last one was desperate and had issues…but let’s be honest, so did the “season”.)

the difference between liking the finale and not isn't just down to the debate of media literacy and taste. because the problem really boils down to the experience of loss.

i keep trying to shout how much i reject the finale. i am filling up every space i can with all of the reasons it doesn't make sense to me, doesn't work for me, doesn't feel canon to me. not because i'm trying to convince myself of my position, but because i'm trying to convince myself that i will be able to move past this feeling by just rejecting it. but in truth i don't know how to unsee it. and i do not know if i can enjoy good omens anymore. because while those issues of taste and media literacy surrounding the convoluted philosophies about free will and reincarnation, and the whole not kissing or not saying "i love you" issues can all be debated as intellectual, matters of logic and judgement and comprehension... there's a big chunk of this schism that comes from perception and emotion, and not all emotional responses/reactions can be logic'ed or be correct or incorrect.

and one of the most impactful for me is what feels like multiple instances of extremely out of character dialogue and choices. and because of aziraphale and crowley's characterization and choices in the finale, i was very quickly drained of the feeling of comfort in them and their love. i can't love that aziraphale with how he speaks to that crowley. i ache too much for that crowley. i don't feel that their love as presented is that powerful or beautiful anymore because now it just radiates what from my experience feels completely toxic. and so i'm left with wondering why would toxic love save the universe. why is it good to get reincarnated back into a toxic relationship. and even if you try to make the logical argument that that toxicity is only there because of the angel/demon opposite sides thing, it doesn't feel like enough to excuse the fact that it happened. it destroys for me the beauty of it.

so even if "that is them," i don't know how to care about asa and anthony getting to be happy and in love if I wouldn't have been peacefully, comfortably happy with crowley and aziraphale getting together after what i saw in that episode.

and trying to look back at season 2 and season 1 and the book and the good old fics is a stab in the heart because i saw in that finale the devastation on their faces when they decided that all of the longing and want and pain of every disagreement and fight and miscommunication and every "almost" over 6000 years would never be rectified. that there was no payoff for all of that trying and wanting. that they were in pain for millennia only to sacrifice themselves for a new universe that i can't feel like was even a guarantee... because god's agreement doesn't feel like something that can or should be trusted. there's no comfort or joy there anymore. it doesn't feel safe. i don't feel held. reading and writing fic just hurts now. drawing, making gifs, editing video, all just hurt now. i can't talk to half of my friends because they're happy about something that broke me. i've lost my source of joy and i don't know if that feeling is ever going to come back. i don't know if i'll ever be able to unsee the finale and shed the visceral emotional reaction i had to it. and that kind of loss carries a whole different kind of weight and consequence and disruption to it than a straightforward or even bittersweet "i liked it."

It was just a bad dream after all

Have you heard about that terrible story in the Good Omens finale? Ugh, I know, right? Scary.

Also tbh ever since I was a child, I haven’t liked the song ‘Time After Time’ 😭 it's gonna be funny: I remember my mum had it on a CD in the car, and as a child I used to get travel sickness, so ‘Time After Time’ reminds me of headaches I used to get when travelling by car😅😭 So when I heard that song start playing on go3, I thought to myself, ‘Oh no, oh no, this is just adding to the misery.’
