I love how Zohran Mamdani is wearing a suit everywhere. And if he has anything else he puts it ON TOP of the suit. A basketball jersey. A high-vis vest. All worn over the suit. He’s like the mayor character in a cartoon who’s always dressed as The Mayor. If I didn’t know who he was and he biked past me in NYC I’d be like holy shit was that the mayor

he jumped in a pool in the suit yesterday to celebrate the public pools opening for the summer btw

Also as far as I’m concerned, every single human AU is now canon.

As far as I’m concerned, the finale of season 1 is the end of Good Omens. I will only acknowledge the season 2 flashbacks.

Season 3 is actually a very moving, effective piece of art mediating on mortality. It muses on grief and forgiveness. But I don’t look to Good Omens to be forced to reckon with grief, mortality and forgiveness. I want zany shenanigans between an angel and a demon. Tonally, season 3 is such a strange departure from the rest of the show.

Season 3 is also trying to answer a question that I don’t think the audience really has anymore after season 1. The problem of free will is not really a concern post season 1. Aziraphale and Crowley are constantly demonstrating that they have free will, and Adam’s choice to not permit Armageddon clearly tells us that humans have free will, too. Crowley demanding a universe where there is free will is redundant, especially considering there is no Book of Life (and therefore no concrete proof of the “Divine Plan” even existing beyond the angels’ imaginations) until Season 2. A universe with no God is not inherently more meaningful than one with God. I do think it is what he would wish for, but giving Crowley a chance to ask God for a wish is like…strange way to end a show whose first season is just a funny cosmic parody of Cold War spy dramas. In season 1 the show is never actually taking Crowley’s gripes with God that seriously.

Season 1’s ending, where humanity has chosen itself, and Aziraphale and Crowley have chosen humanity as its miraculous, benevolent protectors from supernatural threats is perfect. We don’t actually need to blow up the whole universe to stick it to God.

Fandom, I beg you to write some fix-it fics, some AUs set post season 1, etc.

Whitsantos is so unique, it's the first queer platonic ship I've seen to be this huge and treated this much like a regular ship. Just the fact that the ship name is this heavily used is crazy to me, and I don't think I've seen a single person treat it as romantic. Honstly It's beautiful, good job Pitt nation for not treating platonic relationships as lesser

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’

[thiswomanshouldbewriting]

The problem between Aziraphale and Crowley is that Crowley is a "I'd rather die with you than live without you" romantic, and Aziraphale is a "I'd rather love you from afar forever rather than bear the thought of having caused your destruction" romantic.

The thing with amateur local theater is it is almost always bad BUT keeping it alive is the most important thing

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

The joys of artistic expression cannot be limited to talented people everybody needs it to survive

[nieludzki]

This is such a hilarious take we should give untalented people who make bad art money you know just because guys

[powerbottombrucespringsteen]

Exactly. Glad you understand 💗

[fabiansociety]

good art grows from the soil of bad art, but also bad art justifies itself. it's still art

If you don’t have bad art, you don’t get ever get people experienced enough to make good art.

The urban fantasy show I actually want to see is a hospital drama with a dedicated wing for supernatural illnesses.

Vampirism. Lycanthropy. Cheap spells gone wrong. A woman brought in for her prenatal has to be told her baby is a lindworm. Someone is literally being followed by the anthropomorphic personification of the Black Death.

Someone somewhere out there is having their perception of the world irreparably shattered by the knowledge that magic is real, and at the other side is a team of doctors who have to roll their eyes and pull out Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales because some high school kid tried to go Carrie with a cheap spellbook and turn all the kids at prom into frogs, and the doctors have to wrangle a couple dozen teenagers into admitting if they have a true love who can break the spell.

I want the hospital director to be some dark entity that feeds on human misery but figured out that if you successfully treat the source of the misery then instead of hunting you down as an abomination the humans start bringing more miserable people to your house en masse and things kinda got out of hand from there.

The real horror of a Stepford Wives situation isn't 'the suburbs are creepy' or even 'conformity is creepy' or 'I don't wanna be replaced by a robot'

The horror is the idea that you might choose to spend your life with somebody only to realize they don't actually want a partner and friend, somebody with ambitions and thoughts and joy. They want somebody productive, compliant, and sexually available, and all your internal life is nothing but a barrier to that. That the person you love only loves what you do for them, and the less of the an actual person you are, the happier they are.
