whatever man
FUCKING FINALLY
on one side we have tadc fans chasing gooseworx off social media over jax and pomni being the main characters of the story ( we always knew this but okay )
on the other side we have deltarune fans harassing spamtenna artists for not playing the game
it's the terminally online olympics this week
"There will be stuff you'll argue about"
Please don't tell me Aziraphale defenders need to re-enter the trenches because i know most of the discourse will be focused on him.. just look at the season 2 finale fandom era
You know who they needed to send out to investigate the Louvre heist.
If i had any animation experience i would instantly animate the asgore truck meme but it's Crowley running over Metatron
Seeing the occasional terf in the ineffable husbands tag is always a jumpscare 💀
"Can we agree season 2 was bad?" can we agree you guys say this about every popular show/movie when the hype dies down a bit? it's getting old and we were supposed to leave this in 2023.
Art prompt for GO artists:
Crowley lying in bed with Aziraphale: He looks so peaceful, I wonder what he is dreaming about.
Aziraphale, in his sleep: YOU CAN'T GO 90 MILES PER HOUR IN CENTRAL LONDON!
Crowley: He is dreaming of me.. 🥺
Nahhh he took the wrong stairs 💀
Only the good omens fandom can catastrophise this much over a couple of blurry photos taken during shooting. They drop a new picture of David sneezing and they'll be like "OH MY GOD CROWLEY IS EXPLODING!!!! OH MY GOD IS CROWLEY DYING RIGHT NOW!!!"
reminder that good omens is a trans allegory before it’s a biblical one.
Well well well. He can be a man but better not make him a trans man with a pussy, huh?
Man, @fakefakelove tried to warn folks a year ago.
I'm about to kinda make this about me because it fucked up my day for a few Reasons.
I never interacted with this person. But saw on multiple occasions the way they interacted with people on tumblr, on reddit. Just absolutely vile, their interpretation of canon is the only correct way, anyone who disagrees with them was immediately met with vitriol, they encouraged and enabled their .... whatever ... fanbase... followers... cult members.... to jump on their hot take garbage person train.
During Pride Month anyone who was enjoying making Pride fanart or fics with Crowley and Aziraphale they were openly shredding them on tumblr. Not just in their shit server. "Crowley and Aziraphale would never. They don't care."
Writing au's was like...'not respecting the craft' or 'not respecting the canon' or some bullshit.
They called Crowley and Aziraphale selfish sociopaths who didn't care about anyone but themselves and were willing to kill a kid so they could keep hanging out eating and drinking. Someone responded something like "yeah okay maybe but that kid was the literal antichrist" and they were just bullied hard for, you know, 'respecting the canon' 🙄
I know I wasn't alone in seeing this, but it often felt really lonely to somehow see this behavior that other people were either not seeing or just overlooked or just adored.
So I just blocked them.
I'm glad it finally hit. But more than vindicated I just feel exhausted. Idk. Maybe I would have tried to bring larger attention to it if I had a bigger voice in the fandom. Or if I trusted myself more. But whenever I did bring it up with folks.. I was afraid people would think I was overreacting, being petty, misinterpreting. And that was largely (not exclusively) the reaction I was sensing from most people. I had full on crying hyperventilating meltdowns over this shit for My Own Damn Reasons.
'I told you so' sucks because it's not just hollow garbage, but it means no one listened to you.
I had a pretty productive talk about it with one person though...I explained that I didn't think I could finish reading this writer's fic...it wasn't a decision, I just dreaded giving the time to something saturated in that negativity. I was trying to figure out why it was so much easier for me to separate the art from the artist with some people....but not THIS person. And it took them no time to respond "because it's a peer." That really stuck with me.
Because fandom is a community and we're meant to share in joy and encourage each other and just HAVE FUN. Not....*waves hand in the direction of the assholes* all that.
So fuck this person and fuck their server and fuck anyone who tries to take your joy out of your fandom experience.
How you interpret the canon and the characters and how you choose to view them, how you write them or draw them, what you need from them, how and when you engage with the fandom, that is all yours, and it is all valid.
I love you, Good Omens family.
Okay, look. I'm gonna say something directly because this kind of shit pisses me right the hell off.
I don't know Moonyinpisces particularly well. We've exchanged a few bits of casual small talk in a mutual discord server, but that's the literal extent of our relationship. I've never read their fic.
Is it entirely possible that Moonyinpisces is a rude asshole? Sure, idfk. I don't know this person like that.
But it boils my goddamn blood to see so many people be like "this person is a secret terf engaging in performative allyship" about someone who is openly a nonbinary lesbian. I cannot stomach the idea that the fandom is just revoking this person's queer card because she had some opinions that are controversial to our tiny fandom spaces and nowhere else, and maybe was shitty about how they've expressed those opinions.
Again, I don't know this person especially well. It's entirely possible they're a raging dickhead outside of the four-or-so conversations I've had with her, and like, fair play if people want to say "hey Moonyinpisces is an asshole who hurt my feelings over stupid characterization interpretation bullshit"! It happens!
But what we're not gonna do (or at least I hope we're going to stop doing) is say that this person is a terf and a "fake ally" (read: not queer) because they don't agree with a popular headcanon. Miss me with that shit.
It's not fucking transphobia for a trans person to say "I don't read this Fictional Character Whomst Isn't Real as trans, and it kind of annoys me that it's treated as canon by the fandom that he is." It just isn't.
You know what does feel a little goddamn transphobic to me? Deciding someone isn't really trans/queer based on an extremely bad-faith reading of some bitchy fandom posts in a small fandom discord/one contextless vague post on Tumblr.com. As a fandom that prides itself on being pro-LGBT to the point of kind of being up our own asses about it sometimes, we have to do better.
If you want to be mad about someone's behavior, that's fine. But you don't get to revoke their identity about it.
Sorry, did you conveniently black out and miss the two different blogs posting screenshot receipts of Moony and Plumbum creating a secret secondary server solely to mock others for the way they write, their art, talking about their irl family members and engage in incredibly nasty Mean Girl-type commentary (with incredibly TERFy overtones)? Here, just because you need to see proof of the nasty piece of shit you’re standing up for, here you go:
At the end of the day, even though they are unarguably a TERF, that’s very nearly secondary to the plain fact that they (and Plumbum) are vicious, two-faced snakes who went out of their way to bait people into engaging only to take obscene pleasure in mocking them behind their backs. “b-but they’re a nonbinary lesbian” I DON’T GIVE A FUCK. LABELS DON’T MEAN SHIT WHEN YOU’RE EXPLOITING MEMBERS OF YOUR OWN GODDAMN COMMUNITY. A PIECE OF SHIT IS A PIECE OF SHIT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT’S WEARING A PRIDE PIN OR NOT.
They're also acephobic
So like. Be a nonbinary lesbian. Whatever. But when you say "asexual queerplatonic" is JuSt FriEnDs and say men can't have pussies. Well. Nonbinary people can still be transphobic and they can still be acephobic. And they're still a jerk and an asshole
Crowley after the 1862 fight: *sleeps a whole portion of the century*
Aziraphale after the 1862 fight:
bro came back, doomed our yaoi and left
The good omens fandom acts like they could handle an ineffable husbands sex scene, no you can't. you scream cry and throw up over a single, very normal selfie of david tennant and michael sheen leave alone a whole scene where they're both naked. you will end up floored 5 seconds in.
