☀️ Yuu (she/they), Spanish. Trying my best to master my English! •Ao3 and Wattpad: Little_Bulbasaur0 •Discord: psaurr Good Omens · OFMD · Pokémon · TLOZ · Queen · The Beatles · Doctor Who (just starting)

[psaurr]

Hii!

So, now I've already published two of my fanfics on Ao3 (English and Spanish) and Wattpad (Spanish) I think it's time to start using this blog to announce my works and whatever my mind thinks of (?) Idk, I feel I should start doing my own stuff instead of just reposting everything (which is also great to support amazing artists and content creators, but you know what I mean). Anyways, here are my very first pair of one-shots in English:

Calypso (OFMD one-shot)

Friends (Good Omens one-shot)

It is fair to say that when I translate my works to English I use google translator to help me do it faster (and even that way it takes a lot of time) and then I correct all the mistakes and artificial expressions that I'm able to find; therefore, there's a chance you may find repetitive words or things that simply don't fit there. So, as always, if you find any kind of mistake (grammar, spelling, typo or whatever!) or weird expressions please let me know, I'm just learning and I'll be very grateful to hear some advices or corrections to keep improving my writing :)

Thank you for your time! <3

BLM is still a thing. If you don’t reblog this, but would’ve in June/July you were only in support of black lives when it was a trend. They still need justice

I suppose it must be very difficult to write about a healthy, caring, respectful relationship with good communication, when you've never participated in such a thing yourself. (Not that that's any excuse; aren't fantasy writers supposed to be good at imagining things?)

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[cruelfeline]

It's honestly kind of funny because I really, really thought I'd be devastated by GO3. But upon watching it, I found it so bizarre and disconnected from the book and S1 that my brain simply didn't assimilate it as canonical information. Which is nuts because I'm typically very beholden to canon.

But GO3 read as such a strange non-sequitor that it couldn't emotionally hurt me. That's how weird of a finale it was and how poorly it maintained the themes of the original.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

[kisaobaldennaya]

it surprises me when people call the ending “not homophobic” simply because it leaves two men in a romantic relationship. the problem is not that anthony and asa fell in love with each other. the problem is that aziraphale and crowley, characters with one of the most unusual and deeply developed queer stories in modern fantasy, were sacrificed for it

a romance between two men does not automatically make a story good representation. especially when those characters are reduced to a set of generic traits: they are kind, they love each other, and that is basically it. we have already seen countless stories like that, and this is not just about gay relationships. people loved aziraphale and crowley not because they were a couple. they loved them as individuals: complex, contradictory characters with their own dynamic, history, and personalities that developed over many years. that is why it feels so strange to watch them be replaced with a flatter version of the same idea

to me, bad representation is not the absence of a kiss. it is when unique queer characters are erased in favor of a safer and more conventional romantic story. that is a disservice to the fandom

[dareckar]

I suck at render galaxys but I try

[psaurr]

When I finished the finale, I wished I was one of those people who liked it, because they seemed to be happy and satisfied and not grieving.

But now I remember all the loose subplots, all the contradictions, Aziraphale's 'I don't actually like this' face when they are taking the decission and God and that finale where it is implied that anything we learned from them and their world never existed.

I've realised I don't have to like, even accept as canon, something that has completely destroyed the original's story message, and that has also set a finale that, personally, I don't see as something Sir Terry Pratchett would have given us.

So now I'm glad I don't like it, because that means I'm not buying a poorly written plot from people that probably didn't even have any interest in the actual story and Pratchett's legacy. This doesn't mean I despise cast and crew's efforts (I believe they did an amazing work and the things I actually liked and enjoyed about the finale are there thanks to them).

And I don't want to impose how people have to feel about the finale at all, because everyone feels different about Good Omens: I personally had too high expectations and I am very attached to the story and all the hidden details, so it is quite obvious for me that this isn't a good finale. But maybe, there is someone out there who had much lower expectations than me and thought it would have been worse (because it could have been even worse), or they are a casual Good Omens enjoyer and aren't affected for the brainrot as much as me, or whatever. So please, feel your feelings and discuss politely, but don't start a war over this because it isn't worth it.

The 5 real themes of good omens that the finale completely botched

I know we only had 1 episode and whole plotlines were scrapped but I was just left feeling so empty after the finale given how powerful and moving and profound the themes of season 1/the book were. So buckle up for a long ride let's talk about it

Theme 1: Human Incarnate

The book and the show established that humanity is unique because it is neither purely good or purely bad. From the book: "Most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally evil, but by people being fundamentally people." This Aziraphale describes as "much better" than either Heaven or Hell

This is one of my favorite sequences in the whole show. And the music is soaring and gorgeous (but was never released in the official soundtrack, unfortunately, but I digress). Adam recalls the things in his life he has come to know and love; his parents, his friends, his dog, his home. He makes it have nice weather all year. Aziraphale could feel that love at the Tadfield Manor. Heaven and Hell tried to create an instrument of destruction. But by putting that inside a human boy, they didn't realize the strength of that boy's love would be strong enough to literally burn the hell out of him. He told Satan himself to shove it and rewrote reality to have the dad he truly loved. The power of humanity's love is stronger than any immortal power could ever be.

This is the idea that would have been so cool for the finale but unfortunately never paid off. As the second coming prepares to destroy Earth again, Aziraphale and Crowley could have teamed up with the power of humanity to reshape heaven and hell for good. Adam and Jesus as the Antichrist and Christ born to end the world and instead used their humanity to save it. Instead we got the book-of-life arc and humans were literally left to dust

Theme 2: Free Will

Good omens establishes that angels and demons are just puppets but humans are the ones with real free will because they have the ability to be good or bad. Even with heaven and hell, the humans on Earth always have a choice. Aziraphale even describes free will as the defining characteristic of humanity, as the crucial element that angels should exist to protect. In seasons 1+2, they agree on this, but Crowley's main grievance is the inequity of it all. Humans have free will but it still isn't fair.

God made angels and demons and humans but the humans never had to follow her 'plan.' Free will and the ability to recognize what is truly right outside the propaganda of good vs evil is what saves the world.

Humans always had free will, even if God was around to kill a bunch of them with floods or take their stuff to win bets or something. Creating a new universe without God wouldn't change that. They would still have free will, just less threats from above/below, I guess. Crowley just kind of assumes that without a God, humans will somehow have more free will than they do now, and that will somehow solve all of the problems they’ve encountered in humanity?? What Crowley's established character really should have wanted here was to fix the inequity inherent in human society. That's what is truly holding them back, not a lack of will. Removing God from the universe doesn't actually solve the root problem.

Theme 3: Our Own Side

This is something Crowley learned very early and spends the whole show trying to teach Aziraphale. That good must be separated from heaven and bad must be separated from hell.

Heaven can do some truly appalling horrors and demons, at least Crowley (and somewhat Beelzebub I guess) have the potential to be kind. 'Their own side' is one where they have the freedom of humanity, to do what is objectively right. Not of heaven or hell, but true morality. Aziraphale and Crowley sort of found their way there in the finale, but it was all rushed and Aziraphale never really turned his back on heaven, it sort of just became irrelevant when everything started disappearing. What a beautiful world they could have created together, not one of good or evil, but one that--for all its flaws--is kind.

Theme 4: Love Conquers All

What was it all for? Love. God implies Aziraphale and Crowley were made for each other because she liked to smile at the silliness of their love. The literal only constant in the entire universe. Their love for the world and each other saved it. I think the decision to turn Aziraphale and Crowley's queer love story into a tragedy was the biggest mistake of seasons 2/3. Forcing the soft and romantic comedy of good omens into a queer tragedy was the moment it all crashed and burned. Now everything is tainted leading up to the pain and destruction of it all and the whimsy and lightness is gone. There were moments of it, but it was all leading toward the end. And queer love deserves to not be a tragedy. We have far too much tragic queer love in our society. Yes we got the south downs, but Aziraphale and Crowley never got to experience that freedom. They finally came together just to instantly be destroyed. We deserve happy and fulfilling queer love that is sweet without the bitter parts. Good omens was intended to be a comedy, not a tragedy

And then this was SUCH A COOL IDEA they introduced. Perhaps the first time ever an angel and a demon performed a miracle together. The power of their love could create magic stronger than anything heaven or hell had ever seen. I was so excited to see the wonders they were going to create, they ways in which they could have rebuilt the world better using that love. If they had this kind of power doing a tiny miracle, what could they have accomplished if they really put their minds to it??? God herself couldn't have stopped them. And instead, the finale literally revoked Crowley's miracles for the entire episode. They sacrifice themselves for a new earth and people that didn’t even exist yet instead of using any of their power to change it. The god awful execution of this theme is probably the biggest letdown of the entire finale imo

Theme 5: Fix It, Don't Replace It

This is so obviously established in seasons 1/2 I cannot believe how badly they missed the mark with this one

Literally shows us the horror of replacing the Earth with all new people. Even children can recognize that just because something is broken, it doesn't mean you throw it away and start over. They loved the world enough to want to save it. The world is inherently worth saving, flaws and all. If you love something, you don't abandon it. The ENTIRE PLOT of season 1 explores the horrors of humanity and yet humans, Aziraphale and Crowley do everything in their power to save it.

It absolutely blows my mind how directly this scene contradicts the entire message of the finale. Job didn't want new children, he quite liked the old ones. Aziraphale and Crowley didn't want the antichrist's new Earth, they quite liked the old one. We didn't want new human versions of Aziraphale and Crowley, we QUITE LIKED THE OLD ONES. Where the hell did that mentality go when they told God to create an entirely new universe?????????? Season 1 said the world is flawed but it deserves saving exactly as it is. Season 1 said an angel and a demon go off to the ritz together, exactly as they are. The finale said the world is too broken, we have to make it disappear and start over. The finale said Aziraphale and Crowley have too many issues/traumas to be happy, we have to destroy them and start over. That's why as cute as Asa and Anthony's love is, we quite liked them exactly as they were, angel/demon trauma + history and all. They deserved saving too.

At the end of everything they’re giving up, we are simply left with asking: What is the "real world" the finale is trying to make us value? One without a god to screw things up sometimes??? All we see of this new world is Asa and Anthony finding each other. There's no evidence to show that humans are doing any better, there's any less pain or suffering, that humans have any more opportunities or free will than before. They seem to imply it's the exact same world, just without God or angels or demons. Then what was the actual point of destroying the original one??? If the real problem was God, they should've just destroyed God and left the world alone. I guess they didn't have enough time to really explore it. But they're hinging everything on the new universe being better but then do next to nothing to support that idea.

IN CONCLUSION: Good omens has always been so special to me for how much it pokes fun at but also celebrates the messiness and wonder of humanity and love. The 6-to-1 episodes was a major setback but somehow the finale still managed to drop basically every one of its most endearing and powerful messages. It's very clear good omens as a whole was always meant to be a one-season/one-book story. There was so much potential and missed opportunities and I wish we could have had the finale we dreamt of. I will always love the world of good omens season 1/the book, so that is the world I'll keep in my heart. And all the nightingales therein

Reblog if you think fanfiction is a legitimate form of creative writing.

RIP Crowley, you would've hated Good Omens season 3

[miellez]

I did a thing I guess

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

you are 16. you are talking with a gay man in his 50s or 60s, a friend, huge and gentle with a scarf and short fluffy curls of gray hair, who has directed you in two plays staged in your mid-size artsy town. (he has not yet asked you to be in his production of The Laramie Project which will change your life. this conversation will also change your life.)

he is talking about theatre. he is talking about theatre when he was younger. he says, "of course, it was AIDS then." in the pause, you ask him. clumsy and quiet and 16 and "straight," you ask him. what was it like.

he takes a moment in which his face is not like a person's face. "there was a time," he says, "i'm not sure how long, years. when i went to a funeral every weekend." he tells you about two funerals in a day, and choosing between friends when you couldn't make it to both. he does not look at you, he looks at them. his wet grey gaze is so clear that you start to see ghosts. it will be years before you understand why it feels like your grief too. why the ghosts call you family.

[estrogenesis-evangelion]

happy pride, family. i love every single one of you

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

when i wrote this post, i didn't expect very many people to read it. i figured it wasn't the kind of thing people liked to read and reblog, but it was late at night, and i was remembering this person, and i was crying, and i had to write it out. so i did.

to this day no other post gets sent to me so often by friends who have encountered it as a repost on some other site. the idea that more than one hundred thousand people have read these words, and know this story now, and maybe feel as i did, is tremendously humbling and unbearably beautiful to me. even by accident, even just passing on a story that is not my own, i often think that it is the best thing i have ever done.

happy pride, family.

[laminatorman]

so I have a fucking insane idea.

Most of the fandom didn't like the finale (I am in the small group of people stupid and lucky enough to mostly overall enjoy it but that's beside the point). So I was thinking why don't we just make it ourselves.

I'm not talking just a rewrite on ao3, I mean a full six episode series, written and animated and voiced and music scores composed by the people in this fandom. We can keep the plot points and scenes we liked, expand on things that needed more time, give Jesus some more screen time. and give our ineffable idiots a happy ending. properly this time.

yes it would take fucking ages and there'll be coordination issues and arguments and it's gonna be really, really tough to do, but I think we can manage it.

So, what do you guys say?

(tagging my long-suffering good omens moots to spread this if you like the idea)

[psaurr]

Please I've already said this, let's do it. Our fandom is amazing and incredibly talented, we can do this together.

Edit: shall we make a discord server or something?

[psaurr]

Listen... I know it is quite ambitious and the proyect requires huge ammounts of time and work. There would be lots of people, that is, lots of different opinions. Would it be stressfull? Difficult to manage? Would there be any problems balancing both proyect involvement and personal life? It would be strange if everything was perfect, not gonna lie.

But just imagine, for a moment, that we succeed and this proyect sees the light. How proudful and fulfilling would we feel as a fandom? How special and important would our fanbase become to the mere existence of Good Omens?

As far as I know, Doctor Who fandom did something similar with the NuWho era (although there was a gap of some decades between the Classic era and the New one): lots of fans of the classic series ended up working on the continuation of the show (Russell T. Davies and David Tennant himself are some examples of this). But what if we could do the same, but faster (Doctor Who has a vast lore; Good Omens not so much) and tie neatly all the loose parts of the plot?

Come on, I'm aware that there are quite more than a few people who like the idea and everybody is important and can contribute in any way, it doesn't matter if you're an artist, a musician, an actor, a writer, an editor or an admin/mod. It doesn't even matter if you just want to give feedback or point out a specific element.

Maybe I'm still heartbroken. But we can fix what the scriptwriters couldn't.
