All right, Ubiquitous Anxiety Chips, I bet a cool ten grand on you, so don’t let me down!
Anhedonia Strawberry!
I’m sure it’s a winner. But it’s hard to care very much. About anything :P
Avoidance Popcorn for the win!

Hey:) just wondering if you've already seen the video/transcript of DT talking about Crowley vs human Anthony ( https://www.reddit.com/r/goodomens/s/0AZX1SKnOo )
Not that an actor's interpretation is necessarily more important or valid than any fan's reading. But I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on this clip:)
thank you for sending me this!
ok i’m only going to share the part of the quote that i did see the video of (which apparently the fan asked not to share further anymore), not the transcript on that reddit post of a whole conversation translated from chinese which was a combination of two fan interactions, with a further unconfirmed part
my thoughts are: this snippet of a fan interaction doesn’t reflect david tennant’s (whole) opinion on the finale, and also he is just the vessel, like he’s just the actor, and though i am interested in his opinion it’s also just an opinion
but yeah it appears he does support my (and many people’s) reading that good omens 3 killed off crowley and aziraphale, and asa and anthony are just Wearing Their Faces
my reaction is to take up digital smoking 🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬
I think it’s interesting that David Tennant, who - it seems - doesn’t read fan fiction, wouldn’t see A&A as A&C. For me, that tracks.
I think the idea of an AU takes some getting used to. Personally, I never warmed to them, but as a ff reader, I am at least very familiar with the concept.
For someone that doesn’t come across AUs regularly, DT’s response here makes a lot of sense.

maybe rereading one night in bangor would heal you

The Gift is waiting to make us all feel better.
Two things can be true.
I really hate that our beloved celestials were erased from existence.
[image redacted so I don’t have to see it again]
Also:
These two are absolutely adorable and managed to tug at my heartstrings IMMEDIATELY.
They are played by two of the best actors currently working, so of course.
Shane watching the Good Omens finale:
OMG
Here’s how I’m currently thinking about it.
I’ve seen a lot of posts about how they could have done this thing or that thing to give Angel Aziraphale and Demon Crowley a happy ending (including some excellent fan fiction illustrating that). And it’s true! And I wish they had!
But I don’t think they gave us that ending because they couldn’t think of another option. I think they did it as a gift to fans who love writing and reading fan fiction about these two. I interpret it as a hand-off to us, a way of saying that they’re ours now.
When you’re giving one gift to millions of people, there’s no way that they can all like it. I wish I were one of the ones who enjoyed it, but I’m not.
I do appreciate the effort, though. And it sounds like it really was a great deal of effort to get Amazon to agree to it. They didn’t have to do that for us, but they did. So I can’t be mad about it.
I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind, fwiw. Just processing my reaction out loud. And it’s somewhere in the grey.
Hey! Would you like a fic where A&C successfully navigate multiple universes and, with help from the Messiah and other humans, angels, and demons, change the world so everyone has free will and they can be happy in their love forever?
Well, have I got the fic for you!

Yes! This is a great story!
Anonymous, if you’re out there, rereading Factory Settings is exactly what I need right now, so thank you for writing it!
Crowley and Aziraphale didn’t deserve the “Season 3” Good Omens Finale. Neither did the world. The duo finds a way through the Garden and Book of Life to a happy ending.
May it bring comfort to the afflicted.
(Or, an in-character fix-it in less than 2,000 words; canon-compliant until 01:26:00 of S3.)

“Did I say the wrong thing,” Crowley asked, utterly wrung out.
“No,” Aziraphale said gently. “You’re you. I don’t think you can say, or do, the wrong thing. And we don’t have much to work with,” he added. “One God, one Satan, one bookshop, and the two of us… and no more eternity." Aziraphale leveled his gaze.
“I’m so, so sorry, Crowley,” he said softly. “We deserved a chance to live in the real world, too. We deserved to be ‘us.’”
This is the first of hopefully many S3 fix-its that I’ll read. And it is perfect.
OP has restored my peace (at least for today)!
I’m very grateful that we got a finale at all and I can see why some people loved it. But it wasn’t my cup of tea. For me, it doesn’t feel particularly good to enumerate the things that didn’t work for me about it, but overall, it just didn’t feel satisfying to me.
And I’m actually fine with that. It’s not how I hoped to feel about the end of the story, but it doesn’t diminish the importance of the characters to me. And it actually makes me more grateful for the heartbreak of the S2 ending. Because that is what sent me running to the world of fan fiction.
I’d never read any fan fiction before at all - it just wasn’t on my radar. After S2, I desperately needed to see these two happy, so I dove in. Hundreds of stories later, my love for A&C has grown thanks to so many incredible writers whose work I’ve found.
And now, a little bereft after the finale, I know where to find the feeling I’m looking for. If you have ever posted a story about these two, thank you!!
Heading off to AO3 now for some pining, slow-burn, through-the-ages stories with love confessions, hugs, and a happy angel and demon in a cottage.
❤️
In honor of the finale tomorrow, a tiny little thing I’ve had in my head for ages. (No spoilers, only speculation.)
—•••))((•••—
After the Earth and everyone on it were safe (again); after the Second Coming became the Never Arrived; after all of the reasons for holding back had disappeared; after the love confessions, the relieved sighs, and the tearful smiles; Aziraphale and Crowley stood alone in the bookshop, arms around each other, holding tight, reluctant to even consider letting go.
Crowley ran the palm of his hand up his angel’s back and over his neck, then rested it on the back of Aziraphale’s head and played with his hair a bit, just because he could.
When he felt the angel’s curls, Crowley suddenly pulled back just slightly to look Aziraphale in the eye.
“Angel, HOW is your hair so soft? I mean, it’s the softest thing I’ve ever felt. Literally. And I spent years stealing chinchillas from their cages to enrage fur farmers.”
“Thank you for noticing, dear,” Aziraphale said while a blush turned his face a little red. “I incorporated some of the downiest, fluffiest feathers from my wings into the physical structure of my hair. Then added a very minor miracle to make it all even softer.”
“Really?” said Crowley, scrunching up his nose in confusion but keeping his arms around the angel’s shoulders. “Why?”
“Well…” Aziraphale spoke now with caution. There was a hint of worry in his voice. “I suppose I wanted it to feel nice if… well, if I were ever fortunate enough for you to touch my hair.” He looked down, a little nervous about this newfound honesty and the vulnerability that came with it.
Crowley was in awe of the gesture and was quiet for a moment. When he spoke, he did so in a whisper and with gratitude. “You did that for me?”
Aziraphale smiled sweetly and tightened his arms around the demon. Crowley pulled him in close again and rested his chin on Aziraphale’s shoulder, feeling thankful for the small, thoughtful act.
Another question occurred to Crowley then and, once again, he leaned back just enough to look at Aziraphale. “Angel, when?”
Aziraphale was more confident, now that Crowley had reacted so positively, and stated in a more matter-of-fact tone, “When you were so kind to me after that business with Job and his children.”
Crowley was flabbergasted. “FOUR THOUSAND YEARS AGO? You have been hoping I’d touch you for four thousand years and we’re just getting around to this now?”
“It’s been a bit longer than four thousand years, if memory serves. But yes, it took us rather a while, didn’t it? Fortunately, we have the rest of eternity to enjoy each other’s company freely.”
Aziraphale pulled him in tight again. Crowley closed his eyes and smiled while gently stroking the angel’s hair. They still had more to learn about each other and Crowley couldn’t wait.
Question for the Good Omens Fandom
Has anyone thought about renting out a movie theater for a watch party when the finale comes out? It’s obviously not cheap but I just thought a little (or maybe not so little… depending on how many people actually show up) fan meet up to celebrate might be fun! Not to dox myself but I would be looking at places in the Boston area, and maybe people from all over might consider doing this too!
If someone rented a theater near you to show the GO finale, would you go?
Yes ofc
Meh
I said yes, natch. I’m a couple hours away in WMass and don’t know for sure whether I could be in Boston for this, but if I can and it’s happening, I will!
TFW you’re mid-fic and you click to read the next chapter and only in that moment realize you are reading a WIP and the next chapter doesn’t exist yet.
I know, there will be joy when it DOES come out, but for now there is despair.
Like, I am reading fan fiction to deal with that exact feeling from the show! 😿
Just momentarily going ALL the way off topic to say a special “fuck you!” to clothing brands that carry men’s sizes of XL and larger but only carry women’s sizes up to L.
AO3 being offline until almost precisely when my workday will end while I’m 2 chapters from the end of a long fic in which A&C have yet to fully confess their feelings is, I must admit, probably saving my productivity today.
Oh no, it’s back up!
