Good Omens 3 spoilers.

Screw it, I fucking loved the good omens finale.

They got what they wanted, which was left unsaid because they didn't need to say it. They got to grow old together. They had all they ever wanted, for things to be simple. There was no angel vs. demon, there were no sides to choose. There was simply walking into a bookshop and asking for his number.

IT WAS A HAPPY ENDING YALL!!!!!!

AND IT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!!

And above all else, there was no big cosmic game. Humanity has free will, like actual free will, not just god saying so. Which means Aziraphale and Crowley have free will, too.

They got to grow old together, how in what way is that a bad ending?

Im thinking about making a vampire Whitaker fic on a03,,,,, I've already read basically ALL of them, so, yeah, its just that I've never written a fanfic, before. It would be the pov of Santos at the start, and yes, Dennis is Vlad Dracula in this, but like, would anyone enjoy it at all?? Would anyone ever read it?? Idk thoughts????

I've been re-watching Good Omens before season 3 comes out/the special thingy they're doing(idk if this shit can be fixed in 90 minutes), and I dont think I ever realized just how strong Aziraphale's religious trauma really is. I know im probably late to the party on this, definitely due to me not being religious, but I have thoughts dammit.

How he thought he was going to Hell just for lying, lying for the benefit of others, and he still thought he deserved eternal torment for it, yet as time goes on, he lies just a little bit more day by day, how the first time he eats food, he's concerned he might get in trouble for it, yet as he grows older, one might say, distancing himself from Heaven, he becomes a complete foodie. When Crowley kisses him, instead of saying, "I Love you," he says, "I Forgive you." Because for him, Forgiveness is as close as Heaven gets to Love.

What I'm saying is that Aziraphale is comparable to someone growing up with full faith in the church/Christianity, yet day by day, he separates from it because the person he Loves helps him grow and learn. Yet, after a falling out, Aziraphale still runs back due to its constant being there, rationalizing it as,"If I come back and get to be in charge, I could change things." Failing to realize he's suppressing himself as much if not more as what he was before he separated himself from Heaven. He's becoming a depressed repressed version of himself because he still wants to believe that maybe Heaven can still "Forgive" him. And maybe others.

Im not religious, I have no experience with religion, especially Christianity, and this could be complete word vomit or miss the mark by a long shot. But I had thoughts and and to put them SOMEWHERE.

Separate the art from the artist only applies when said artist is long gone and the art doesn't give them money.

I thought this was pretty self-explanatory...

I know it's a kids' show, and I'm overthinking it, but why the hell aren't more of the criminals scared of mystery Inc.? Not only is one member(depending on the version) 6'0-6'5, but also the dog is 5'4-5'9 that can also talk. That's Scooby on all fours btw, thats not him standing on his hind legs, which would make him 6'0-6'1. This is a great dane who talks and who can walk on his back legs like a person. DO YOU KNOW HOW TERRIFYING THAT WOULD BE????

Another one can set traps like he saw Home Alone and thought how would MacGyver improve them, another one has a balck belt in karate and gives Bruce Lee a run for his money, and the short one has been complimented by THE Batman(and worked at NASA) , also the real tall one can run faster then Usian Bolt.

What would you do at that point? The games over, no insurance money/real estate is worth that much effort.

scooby doo mystery incorporated is crazy bc can you imagine if you were raised adopted but you didnt know and your dad was super emotionally unavailable your entire life and then when you found out your dad wasnt your bio parent he immediately went to jail and your bio parents came into your life for the first time and after spending ~1 month bonding they ally with the evil german parrot who wants to kill you and wake up an evil entity and start actively working to help him kill you and wake up the evil entity. and then when the parrot succeeds in his plan the evil entity he was trying to awaken just immediately kills him and then it also eats your bio parents. and then almost immediately after it takes your adoptive dad out of jail and eats him too. and then you and your friends defeat the entity and you wake up in an alternate reality where the adoptive dad who you came to view as your real dad was just your football coach/principal and your evil insane parents were suddenly really nice and you can never get therapy for what you went through because reality reset and none of what happened actually happened in this universe. youve taken over a life that isnt yours and your memories of the past year or so are all fake they never happened. what the fuck.

I love Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated. I love that all of this, what op said, is real.

Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was “there’s a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry you”. And it’s…not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so I’m used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.

Even if I wasn’t gay, wasn’t a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is just…Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how you’d feel being carried up a flight of stairs. You’re a grown person. You’re being touched in an awkward way. You’d rather do it yourself. You’re So Uncomfortable. It’s not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship. So like…could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause I’m real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and I’m cool. I don’t need a dating service when I’m just trying to go about my day

[sickbitterandcoveredinglitter]

If you’re abled please reblog it cause like…the more ppl knows the better

[magemagenta]

Ummm,,,,, I think I got possessed....

For context, I've literally never drawn in this style, and this is also the first time I've touched physical art supplies in months.

This is also the first drawing in my new sketch book. So, ummm, yeah.

Harry Potter is trending at #1 on tumblr so I thought I’d take the opportunity to say fuck JKR, fuck transphobes, fuck her stupid books, her theme park, her endless landfill fodder merch slop, and her fucking castle on a hill. Read another book yall!! Read another book!!!!!!!

An older RDR1 doodle I did roughly when I first started the game, Its John, and yes, the birds on the right represent Jack, Abigail, and Uncle, and the bird on the left is Arthur.

(Ignore how rough it is. This is my first time drawing John, even if it's just his silhouette, and I wasn't into horses when I was a kid, so I'm not good at drawing them.)

[magemagenta]

I recently finished RDR1, and I ended up liking adult Jack more than I thought I would? So have this doodle ig.

(And yes, those birds are John and Abigail)

Yes, dont get me wrong, the people LOVE it when Spider-Man is miserable and suffering, but I think it's deeper than that. We love to see Spider-Man when he's usually a kid/young adult suffer so horribly not because we enjoy it, but because we see him get up and keep going, I know for a fact that this isn't a hot take, but I need to word it. I think many others love Spider-man in this respect because it is so uncommon in real life to see people get up from the same situations, at least in my limited life experience, over and over again. To see a kid/young adult go through worse and keep going is inspiring. It's the joke that when you're going through a bad day or week or month or year or LIFE, you think of Spider-man and KNOW he's gone through worse and kept going and that can actually make you feel better. Like genuinely, yes, it's a funny joke, but it's also so, so true. Knowing Spider-man, who can be anyone, not just Peter Parker, can go through LITERAL HELL and WORSE and still get up and do better day after day, makes me unironically feel better and I know it does to for others. Being able to imagine the mask and how "it makes you stronger" to make you strive not just to get up again but also to do better is so inspiring.

And also knowing that the only thing your worst moment defines is how you can do better. Is so comforting to so many, not just kids or teens, everyone.

The very popular belief that magic in BBC Merlin being an allegory for being queer/love in general makes Arthur's character so interesting when you think about it. His father taught him from a very young age that not only is "magic" evil, but it's also dirty and corrupts those who "choose" to "practice" it. And that everyone one who uses "magic" is some form of inherently weak for "choosing" to use it. When Arthur's, most likely, first and only true friend is secretly a warlock who uses "magic" to save him over and over again. And Arthur, who multiple times after Uthers death, and sometimes before, questions what he was taught even when he can never truly break away from his father's teachings until he knows what Merlin did for him. Arthur can never accept that "magic" isn't as disgusting and inherently evil to him as it is to his father. After all, wouldn't that make him sympathetic to "magic" users? Wouldn't that mean he could even understand why they "choose" to use "magic"? How could he understand why people do that if he didn't relate/feel similar?

Im saying the closest is glass and that Arthur grew up in the medieval fantasy version of a super closed-minded and religious household with internalized-homophobia/"magic" phobia.

He never actively "practices" "magic", therefore, it's not a problem, and he's not accepting of it. Even though he exists because of magic because his father wanted a son more than he wanted anything else. But that's Uther's hypocrisy, not Arthur's problem. I also find it weird that Arthur got over "being made from magic" rather quickly...
