*SPOILERS for good omens 3*

I’ve never had a story’s ending make me feel all the feelings in the universe at once. You name it, I felt it. At an indulgent level, it was not what I’d wanted for the two of them, for all the reasons. But, I do think this is a RIGHT ending for them. True to their characters and their values. True to the essence of sir terry pratchett, as well.

So here’s why. On the second watch, what really struck me was how badly Crowley actually WANTED this, that this ending was fulfilling the wish he’d had since the beginning of time. Yes, it was always a love story for the two of them, but just as strongly, it was a love story for humanity. And for as much as Crowley and Aziraphale would have had some happy years together if they’d stayed in the original universe, they still would’ve been faced with the pain of losing it and each other eventually.

Because make no mistake. God offered to put it back to the way things were, and that’s exactly what they’d get: A war-hungry heaven and hell chomping at the bit to put forth the next apocalypse. And since God wanted that universe to end, it would end. Quite ceremoniously and horribly, knowing heaven. And I think Crowley knew this immediately, what her cheap promise actually meant.

So I do find it incredibly beautiful that Crowley was given his heart’s second greatest desire - to see humanity have a real chance at free will, and for earth to have a multi-billion year experience rather than a six thousand year one. And all the while, his first desire was there beside him, holding his hand, beaming at him because he thought he couldn’t love him any more than he already did.

And they find each other again anyway. Fall in love and grow old together. They are so completely happy. And I fully agree with the theory that “time after time” in the background is our promise that they always find each other, over and over again, in every era, every universe, every cycle, every bookshop. It’s lovely. It’s poetic. It’s eternal. I don’t know how you make love any bigger than that.

My friend was describing the thing in orgies where a person gets “rotisserie chickened” and we finally realized she was trying to describe spit roasting and it was just so so charming.

For some reason the versions of this where he gives two salutes is being deleted and replaced with a version with a quick cut to a cheering crowd so I’ll just share it here 🙃

[spectraloats31]

Yep. Can’t let this get buried.

[valtsv]

the whole “i’m an evil monster because i have to kill and eat innocent people to survive :’(” angst in ‘regular human gets turned into supernatural monster’ stories is so stupid. like how is that even a problem??? there are also plenty of corrupt billionaires, abusers and cops out there for you to snack on

[valtsv]

everybody’s like “eating the rich is the only ethical consumption under capitalism” until they actually have the opportunity to actually eat the rich 🙄 smh

I can’t heart this enough. Any reservations I had about jack up to this point were completely forgotten thanks to this scene.

[gaybichon]

in case you were curious this is the exact moment i start crying every time i watch the wicked movie

[spectraloats31]

This is also the exact moment I realized that Ariana Grande was actually gonna nail the part as Glinda. Amazing vocals aside (and they are truly amazing), it was her acting that made this scene as powerful and emotionally poignant as it was.

Fuck, this guy. The OOZING CHARM. Like, how did I watch him in Bridgerton and feel nothing but in this I’m a hairsbreadth away from fanning myself.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

Another important point

You need to actually reblog posts for this site to work as it should.

Liking posts only saves them in a spot that no one checks except for the user who liked them. Most people have their liked posts hidden.

Also, this site has a spam bot problem. One way we weed those out is to check the blog to see if it's actually being used to post legitimate content. If there is absolutely nothing on your blog you're getting blocked and some users may just straight up report you as spam as a precaution.

Not to mention that the posts you reblog will only be seen by you and whoever follows you. Tagging it "fyp" does absolutely nothing.

Just now learning that I’ve been doing this all wrong, I guess. Just been tapping that heart button to the end of days like a damn chump. (Also, for context, never been on TikTok, and barely have a presence on Instagram.) So I’m doing it! Reblogging!!
