I no longer think 1941 and the bombing is when Aziraphale realised he loves Crowley.
I think he's loved him for a lot longer than that, probably since they were angels.
I think the shock on his face was the realisation that Crowley loves him too.

Ohhhh having Aziraphale and Crowley choose free will and humanity and self sacrifice under a tree that looks very much like the tree in the garden of Eden where Crowley tempted Eve into disobeying god and embracing free will?
Uh huh. Yeah I see you.
The negative discourse around Good Omens 3 is bugging the shit out of me because it was LITERALLY Terry's dying wish to have this story told.
The ending he wanted decades ago.
Don't like it, fine. But it's the ending we were always going to get. You don't get to decide.
Roommate and I were watching Gary and Richie leaned in the window and kissed Mikey and the shot lingered on Mikey's reaction.
And my roommate said 'oh no'.
And I paused the show and said, with my head in my hands "Did we ever hear of Michael dating any women ever?"
...
'He's gonna be a dad, I love him' with tears in his eyes.
The relief and laughter at 'if he's involved he'll fuck it up' haha like maybe he doesn't have to worry he's losing Richie after all.
Richie: 'The fuck is wrong with you?'
Mickey: "I love you. You're a coward"
And then that knowing look on Richie's face.
FUCK. HE KNOWS. HE KNEW. AND MICHAELS CALLING HIM OUT BECAUSE HE KNOWS RICHIE KNOWS.
This whole Noah Wyle hate campaign stuff is feeling veeeery much similar to the way neurotypical people treat autistic people who don't emotionally respond the way they expect or anticipate.
Yes the guy doesn't seem to have made many friends on sets and jobs. You know what he has done? Hyperfixated on ways to help the medical community and actors through strikes, the pandemic and has learned an incredible amount about medicine and even owns a company that produces fake blood for film sets and dedicates his time to promoting the struggles faced by people who work in healthcare.
I'd bet you dollars to donuts he's just an autistic bro with his special interests and his job and quiet home life and he doesn't understand what people are yelling about half the time and doesn't care to concern himself with it.
Yes one of the actors from the show isn't returning but that reflects the actual struggles of people to cope in the ED.
'oh but why is it the actress of colour who struggles and has to go?'
Dude EVERYONE on that show struggles. In fact the whole place is held together by the most capable women of colour, without whom the ED could not run. Robi himself is falling apart all season. Mohan leaving might be the most same and healthy thing for her to do because the healthcare system tends to chew people up and spit them out, it's to show how we lose good people because the work environment doesn't support workers.
I'm tired of us treating anti-social or private people like they owe the world an explanation. Since when is being a loner a major character flaw?
Something to consider when wondering why certain characters or names of things etc are missing from Good Omens 3.
If the character or concept wasn't in the original book then it's not owned partially by Pratchett's estate and is a sole creation of Gaiman. Therefore is probably his intellectual property and tptb either can't/won't/don't want to use it for moral and legal reasons. Using his characters etc when he's not involved could potentially open them up to a lawsuit which no one wants.
Which means no Maggie and Nina, no give me coffee or give me death, I'm not even sure how we have Muriel to be honest! But I'm glad we do.
It could also explain the shortened runtime of the finale, as any plots introducing or including Maggie and Nina would have to be scrapped, flashbacks to any historical scenes that weren't in the book taken out and the plot re-written down to the original intended ending as fairly bare bones.
I know people are frustrated, but if you want an NG-free ending this is what we have.
I'm stoked we got an ending at all and very grateful to the creators that made it happen.
my brain has subconciously decided that tiktok is “unhealthy” but tumblr is “healthy” which i dont think is entirely true but i kind of like the idea.
Tiktok/bytedance uses algorithms similar to meta/Facebook created and tested by Cambridge analytica that are designed to identify, cater to and then control your emotional wellbeing in order to sell you products and keep you scrolling.
In tests it was shown that Facebook could actually cause depression and serious mental illnesses in it's users based on what they saw on their feed.
Tumblr recognises hashtags of content you post and interact with and shows you more of it. That's about it.
It feels healthier because it literally is.
Showrunners getting mad than fans are interpreting their canon with more insight and depth than they ever did when making it is such a weird thing to me.
'Stop liking this thing more than I do, I made it and I don't understand why you like it so much and I also don't care to try to understand.'
Like, jeez, sorry I engaged with your art. I'll go back to staring into the middle distance and mindlessly clapping instead.
the main function that ship names have at the end of the day is being unique and searchable like ill take a ship name sounding like abysmal dogshit baby sounds over an epic cutesy “ouh isnt it so cool that u can combine it into something like shootingstar” like ye thats so awesome man now good luck searching up content and discussion for it
This is where fandoms excel, categorisation. Mad shoutout to the multiple subcategories of Sherlock Fandom who managed to differentiate which universe, media and characters they were referencing with their different shipnames, they KNEW the BBC Sherlock needed a different fandom ship name to differentiate it from the traditional ACD canon universe and movieverse ships and thus, johnlock was born. Genius.
I've tried so hard to be normal about Heated Rivalry. I've almost succeeded through sheer force of will.
But how am I supposed to be normal when Ilya is trying to hold back tears of joy and frustration because Shane lay awake next to him in his cottage while Ilya slept and he formulated a plan for them to be together forever WHILE honouring the memory of Ilya's dead mother.
Shane, who Ilya already loves, is so perfectly steadfastly in his devotion to Ilya and his quiet consideration and it makes Ilya's heart wanna explode and all he can do is hold back tears and kiss Shane over and over muttering how much he loves him in Russian until finally he can't hold it in anymore.
"I love you"
And he SAYS IT LIKE A SOB. LIKE THE EMOTION HE CANNOT HOLD IN ANYMORE.
And Shane reacts with shock and while you think he might, Ilya doesn't panic. He's been here before. Extending a gesture of love and connection and being met with fear and resistance. So he lowers his eyes with resignation and begins making his excuses.
And isn't that even worse? Like... Ilya isn't surprised at potentially having an outright love confession rejected. When Shane is the only person he has left by his own admission.
And then Shane says it back.
"I love you too."
Give Connor Storrie all the awards because the way he SLUMPS into Shane with years worth of relief because he has been holding himself back for so fucking long...
"Fuck Hollander."
And Shane saying it so easily, like it should be obvious. Like it's the simplest thing in the world.
"I love you so much".
GOD I AM ONLY SO STRONG. THERE IS JUST NO WAY TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THIS MOMENT.
there is a *subtle* difference

My most tumblr take is that the 'saying untrue things with a straight face because we all know it's a lie and that's why it's funny haha' thing is ableist.
You heard me. The funniness of it is predicated on the possibility that someone will think it's true and you know who takes things literally and at face value? People on the spectrum! Neurodivergent people!
It's another fucking way to make people feel like they are out of the loop and it pisses me off.
I'm joking but I'm also sooo not joking you feel me?
Like what the fuck is a joke where the punchline is 'Omfg haha you believed me? You moron!'
Ugh.
Just finished watching Better Call Saul for the first time.
I don't know what it says about me psychologically that I cannot see Chuck on the screen without bursting into tears and I'm not much of a crier.
Seeing his fond little smiles and asking Jimmy to stick around with him and chat. Seeing how much Jimmy loved him and wanted to take care of him.
And in the end they both hurt each other out of pain.
Jimmy unknowingly crushed the last hope Chuck had in life. Chuck crushes Jimmy's hope that he always had a brother that loved him in his corner.
And then chuck kills himself, and Jimmy can never take it back.
Chuck died with Jimmy believing his brother never loved him and chuck can never take it back.
They were both hurting and they hurt each other irreparably when they were the only two people on earth who understood each other and had each other's backs and that's it.
That's life.
You will hurt people you love more than you can ever know and you can never undo it.
Christ it makes my chest tight at the loss of it all. We are breakable. We cannot be fixed. The people we love can break us.
And they are the only ones we let do it.
And even after all that, Jimmy still talks to people about what they'd do if they had a time machine. Because it's what he and his brother talked about.
Because he knows what he'd do is go back and save chuck if he could.
Watching through better call Saul for the first time.
Just finished the season 3 finale 'lantern' and BRO.
I do not cry much at TV shows and I started crying as soon as Chuck started ripping holes in the walls.
I knew what was coming and I felt so sad for him.
Ceaseless Pyro, turn your Molotov upon this wretched thing.
I cannot express how weird/liberating/scary it is to be an old school slash shipper in the year of our Lord 2026 where SNL airs a parody of Harry Potter where Finn Wolfhard plays Harry and it's an R rated gay romance where he's got for 'Ron/Malfoy stand-ins'
I felt the voices of a million mugglenet users cry out in terror/excitement.
Heated rivalry broke some kind of pop-culture dam of awareness and now the lid of Pandora's box is open and the mainstream people all have their 'slash goggles' on.
I feel like this is gonna be the end of queerbaiting in shows, legitimately. Can you imagine another show getting away with a 7+ year slow burn and never paying it off?
Insanity, mainstream media would be on them like a shot now.
Back in the day it was taboo for fans at a panel to ask about anything to do with LGBTQ subtext in their favourite shows and now we have reporters asking A-Listers on the red carpet about Heated Rivalry and reinforcing the shows success. Somehow this show broke through the zeitgeist and set a new standard for LGBT representation not being token or niche and demonstrated that audiences have been ready for this for years.
It is going to be an interesting next few years. I'm a little concerned about a backlash in the form of people labelling HR fans as 'weird or fetishistic' and mocking them for their interest, making it 'uncool' to like the show or claiming it isn't progressive enough etc etc but Christ I hope that doesn't happen.
If nothing else studios are paying attention and they'll be following the money.
