another episode with not a single shot of Armand, might kill myself
There are moments I think I worked through the worst of my grief about the good omens finale and I can just be happy in my bubble full of fix it fanfics and beautiful fanart. And then it's midnight, I randomly go YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE PISSES ME OFF and I'm back in the FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN
my sibling just walked into my room at 11PM, sat down on my floor and went “you know what else sucks about good omens” it’s been weeks but yeah. so true king
The nightmare that is seeking out other people’s reactions to the show only to realise most of them are casual fans who all still hate Armand and treat him like a cartoon villain.
Boooooooooooooooo! You are boring!!!!!!!! You’re missing out and you don’t even know it!!!!
as someone who literally watched the show for the first time the other day, going online to discover people absolutely hate Armand was so jarring. what do you MEAN the most fascinating and complex character in the show is a one-note villain??
There is no way anyone can look at this expression, and say that this is the face of someone who wanted to give up his life for the „real universe”.
Like, I just can’t stop thinking about the fact Aziraphale got coerced by God into commiting suicide.
This is a sad, needlesly cruel and tragic end to someone who lived in fear of a corrupted system his whole life. And to tell him at the end ,that there was no way you would’ve let him have the love of the only person that ever truly mattered, and that you always saw him as less is so incredably bleak, and depressing.
thinking a lot about how over the years, that evil man (NG) has alluded to the fact that he identifies with Crowley. from the novel's description of the character's appearance (looks kind of like Lou Reed, proud of his cheekbones, etc), to his emotional state (Crowley's rush to the burning bookshop in S1 supposedly being representative of NG's desperation to save Terry Pratchett from death), even NG and Terry's wardrobe choices when Good Omens was first published (NG in black, Terry in Aziraphalean white).
to be clear, I don't think that NG (a bad man!) is Crowley, or even all that analagous to him. but his admissions, however coy, are interesting to me given what we now know: despite being revealed as a sexual predator, regardless of the fact that fans were told he'd not be involved in S3, NG fathered the "finale" with the help of his little horror pals. (notably, those very pals protest his innocence in the face of blindingly awful allegations of sexual abuse.)
the significance, for me, is that so much of the finale felt unbalanced. the push-and-pull between Aziraphale and Crowley, the playfulness and pettiness and overwhelming care, are absent. instead, we get an Aziraphale who is cold, removed, cowardly. Crowley, meanwhile, is something of a martyr: disgraced, publicly humiliated, stripped of his powers, yet somehow still the only really noble personality. it turns out, S3 tells us, Crowley wasn't just the Serpent of Eden who shepherded mankind toward knowledge. he was the best angel ever, and he's been right all along, and now he gets to decide what happens with the universe! spoiler alert: he wipes out everything, including himself and Aziraphale--his best friend.
so much here is inconsistent with the established story as to be ridiculous, and at first I attributed this purely to bad and lazy writing. but now I lean toward another reading: NG is using Crowley as proxy.
an author who's spent the last couple of years wallowing in self-pity and resentment, the back alleys of his mind, isn't interested in accountability. he chooses to broadcast how mean everyone has been to our poor hero, how patiently he's borne the scorn of lesser minds. and now, in his final act of creation, he chooses to nuke the known universe. he decides oblivion is preferable to his own abjection, and he won't go alone: he takes custody of his best friend's memory, his very name, with him.
Very much what I think actually happened here. In fact, as far as I recall, it was Terry who created Crowley the way we know him by taking all the things about young NG that he thought were ridiculous and putting them into the character. And I do agree that That Fucker seems to have used Crowley as a foil. Perhaps Aziraphale is actually representing us as fans - cold towards the poor, misunderstood hero, naive and gullible and eventually agreeing to perish along with him.
i gotta be honest, when they pulled out that fuckass default macbook fisheye effect i did feel my expectations lower drastically
i hate when the medical main plot interrupts my old man yaoi subplot

good omens finale so bad i redownloaded tumblr for the first time in a year
the gays were immortal and they STILL managed to bury them???
byler being queerbait and aziracrow being killed off mere months apart oh it’s hard to be gay
there is something to be said about how the most they ever touch in the course of the whole show is when crowley is injured during the war in heaven like someone fetch the essay about how men in media are only allowed to be shown to be intimate with each other when one of them is injured.
btw Crowley’s forgiveness was deeply unearned. Aziraphale didn’t apologise. I don’t think he even recognised what he’d done wrong
I understand why so many people are oh-so-eloquently reminding us that a physical kiss doesn't matter. I understand that they are immortal, unhuman beings. I understand.
But my father, who was disgusted by their kiss in season 2, doesn't. Casual viewers, people whose views were challenged by queerness- they don't understand that. A kiss is such a simple gesture to include but it makes explicit what has historically been subtextual. It would be queer joy personified, represented, blatantly and proudly real. To shy away from it felt like a sickening reminder of how pre-season 2 queerbait felt. They've never discussed sexuality- if this was asexual representation it wasn't well done either. I cannot let my desire to intellectualise this win; unfortunately, this was simply cowardice.
for far too long i’ve been told that to hope for good, satisfying and blatant queer representation in media is to ask for too much. It is 2026. I refuse to swallow my disappointment any longer. I am going to get fucking angry and that’s okay
