Just a little thank you to every Good Omens fanfiction writer out there. Whether it’s for the laughs, the heartbreak, the comfort, the escapism, the smut, the softness, or the “just one more chapter at 2am” moments, you’ve done, you’re doing, and I’m sure you’ll keep doing an amazing job. This fandom wouldn’t feel like home without you ❤️

At the end of the day, aside from the endless plot holes and nonsensical narrative that is literally canon non-compliant with s1 and s2, this ending does not and will not work for me on many personal levels, including this one:

I am the wrong person to talk to when it comes to erasure and replacements and how shiny new unblemished things are a clean slate and therefore better. My apartment is filled to the brim with old things. I am helplessly attached to that which is broken and battered and resistant in spite of the trials they’ve been put through. I treasure every chip and crack that marks the antique porcelain and vintage ceramic I rescue from flea markets and I adore the crumbling gilt gesso frames I pluck from the trash. I am not put off by mirrors that have begun to lose their silvering and I still think leather bound books are a treasure even as their spines splinter and unravel under the pressure of a long life. I honor the craftsmanship that cannot be replicated today and that has been forgotten or shoved to the side as unnecessary and frivolous. I save things at my job every day, works on paper in such bad condition after being exposed to the elements and that which is life that they’re financially meaningless but mean everything to those who love them in spite of their damage.

Restoration and healing is a worthy pursuit and is never hopeless. Sentiment should not be punished. Memory should be honored. What we go through cannot be erased, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to heal and keep living. It doesn’t mean it’s not always worth it to try. I will always choose kintsugi over a factory replacement.

i hate that i’m not over the gomens finale yet. i want to be a much stronger person. i want to be like oh well it’s just a tv show and canon doesn’t mean anything and i am. i do. mostly. like 70% of the time. or so. idk. and then there’s a wave of grief just crashing over me again

good omens 3 is as if they made a non book based season 3 of heated rivalry where shane and ilya had a big fight, talked through some of it but not all, barely touched each other, then died to save hockey

[fellshish]

it’s ok though. cut to fifty years later where two lookalikes meet. sean and rozza. sean is from holland. rozza says i’m half russian do u want a tuna sandwich. they hold hands in a cottage. they quote a line from all the things she said at each other. someone tweets it was always supposed to end this way

You know what?

The more I think about it, the more I think fuck this “real world” decision and its bullshit explanation. The implications are awful if you think about it for longer than a couple hours and it borders on character assassination.

Nevermind the fact that Crowley chose to erase himself and Aziraphale from existence, which has been talked about to death as unfair and unnecessary, it isn’t even the just thing to do. This wasn’t a noble sacrifice for the good of humanity, it was a defeatist act by someone who had lost all hope and is just finally too tired for the messy work of making things better. Aziraphale and Crowley weren’t the ones who wiped the slate clean, sure, but they were explicitly given the offer to put it all back. They chose not to, and to me that complacency matters.

It was them who pointed out that tossing life away, whether it be one person or the whole world, to create some spiffy, new and improved thing is cruel. It doesn’t matter that the humans set to die in God’s flood turned out “wrong”. They’re here anyway and deserve to keep living and making mistakes. Nevermind the Heaven-approved children Job will be rewarded with, what about his children now? Are they so worthless as to be interchangeable?

Heaven and Hell don’t understand humanity because they don’t see billions of individuals, they see the singular, conceptual entity of human-kind meant to serve its purpose in the great plan. Aziraphale and Crowley saw Anathema, Adam, Madam Tracy, Shadwell, Nina, Maggie, Mrs. Sandwich, etc. God makes it clear this new world would be a reset, and they still go through with it without a passing thought for the loss of those people.

The beings sent to mould the faceless conglomerate of humanity to their respective ends, who instead behaved as part of the whole, in the end fulfilled that purpose.
