Truly remarkable that the Good Omens finale was able to run with so many of my personal Worst Case Scenario endings at once, like I almost respect that. Pretty much all the things that I hoped wouldn’t happen happened.

We got “it actually ends with the end of everything,” “they never existed,” we (sort of) got “they become humans.” No kiss. No real acknowledgement of a romantic relationship, just vague statements made mostly to other people and not each other directly and earnestly.

THEY didn’t retire to a cottage in the South Downs because THAT’S NOT THEM!!! THEY were written out of existence with the Book of Life, along with all the incredible things they’ve done and the lives they’ve touched. They never formed an unlikely friendship that became a love that defied the world (as everyone understood it) and lasted eons. They never made a nebula. They never saved the world out of love for humanity.

They never had nightingales.

Their story was so beautiful and hopeful and affirming and they just…erased it??? I’m beyond gutted. Yes, I can still watch or read the story of Good Omens but that’s not the same thing.

If you liked it, good for you. I’ve been a book fan for a long time and I understand the ending just fine. I just don’t like it.

Aside from a handful of incredibly acted scenes from David Tennant and Michael Sheen that were truly a joy to watch, it was a devastating end (in all the worst ways imho) to one of my favorite stories of all time.

mad again. crowley's whole point is that humanity doesn't deserve to suffer for the crimes committed by heaven and hell, so his solution is to create a new universe without angels or demons. sacrificing themselves for humanity, sure, I get it. but what about all the humans who were wiped out with the book of life? god gave them the option of returning all those humans, and instead his solution is to start all over a la the great flood, something crowley was staunchly opposed to. so not only is there no happy ending for crowley and aziraphale, but there's no happy ending for recently corporeal jesus, or mrs sandwich, mr arnold, nina and maggie, adam and the them, newt and anathema. it's jobs kids all over again. they didn't want the new children the angels offered them, job and sitis wanted their children back. it's the same choice they gave adam. he wanted things to go back to normal with heaven and hell behaving themselves so he could play with his friends. how could crowley and aziraphale be happy sacrificing their existence knowing it condemns all of the humanity they know and love?

god the whole time i was like wow holy shit. some real lines in there. they were talking and i was exploding and it was all beautiful and it was just them. and then it alllllll started to go downhill

I’m sorry but it’s so painfully fucking heteronormative that we got a shot of WEDDING RINGS but not one hug, not one kiss or drop of physical affection that it made my eyes bleed. Bury your gays, but make sure they lose their memories and their pasts first and most definitely don’t show ANY onscreen romance! And the idea that another kiss would just be akin to another F15 is some fucking bullshit. Unbelievable. We should not have to BEG for queer romance and happiness and I resent being made to feel like I should feel grateful for this travesty of a finale

[starlesscastellation]

I know this is perhaps too involved, but that ending felt like getting a gentle pat on the back before getting Ceasered by homophobia knives.

They wrote off a supporting lesbian couple. Mrs. Sandwich's role easily could have been (and would have made more sense to be) fulfilled by Nina, maybe Maggie.

Our final interactions between aziracrow were detached. They had moments but they weren't intimate. In fact, we hardly resolved the conflict. They were arguing up until the end. We got a weird slightly ambiguous kiss finger thing and that's all.

But even ignoring the individual narrative flaws here, what's the moral? What's the point? Our two queer religiously traumatized characters sacrificed themselves so god would do the right thing?

I think that this ending was narratively bad, but I think it was also a betrayal of its queer audience. In this modern world, raw and intimate portrayals of queerness are so important. We've seen enough utterly desexualized, deromanticised, utterly ambiguous relationships. We deserve queer characters to get a good ending, even if it's not a happy one.

Ok, as a wanna-be writer and soon a Master in literature, I know that a good ending and a happy ending aren't always the same.

A happy ending is when the characters are happy. A good ending is when the ending is written to match the theme of a story.

(Example, Frodo sailing off at the end of LOTR isn't a happy ending (it's sad) but it's a good ending (matches the themes of LOTR).)

The thing is, GO3 didn't have neither a good nor a happy ending. It's not happy because Crowley and Aziraphale get wiped off. They literally die for the sake of the world. It's not good because they don't have to.

S1 showed that humans DO have free will. They're capable of being good and evil up to the point they can be better than angels and worse than demons. This is literally what being a human means and this is the power needed to stop the end of the world.

Aziracrow's sacrifice means nothing in the thematic sense of the show, BECAUSE the theme was never about humans doing evil shit and life being hard because angels and demons existed. Of anything, they did what they did despite heaven and hell.

okay listen. I need cloho season two like I need air. however, I recognize that the veteran wind riders have their stories wrapped up. They should be allowed to retire after this last mission and rest. While I would trust the intrepid heros/d20 team to handle a continuation of their stories, it would make the most sense for them to retire.

this brings me to my proposal. cloho season two, but the four players of the veteran wind riders each take on a member of the new gen. Max and Olethra remain, and our new pcs are Torse, Freyja, Ludmila, and Wealwell (played by Lou, Siobhan, Emily, and Zac respectively in my own mind). We follow their adventurers in restoring Zern to its former glory and handling the political dissent within Gath to the Confederated Imperial Republic. please Brennan Lee Mulligan hear my call

yet again getting niche with it but every time I watch el baile de los 41 I cannot stop thinking about how much gabriel looks like how I imagine grantaire

literally the only photo I could find of him but I especially mean in the scene after this when he's dancing around in the little green dressing gown with a bottle of wine

[luna-nuova]

exr au where enjolras is organizing the kidnapping of a head of state and grantaire is the chief of the security detail protecting said head of state

need a crashtos fic where one of javadi's posts about difficult coworkers in which she goes on like a five minute rant purely about how confident and cocky santos is with love hearts in her eyes breaks the containment of her followers and the comment section is filled with lesbian allegations. need whittaker who hardly uses TikTok but makes an effort to like all of javadi's posts once he finds her account because he's a supportive buddy which leads to santos finding the video and having a Totally Normal reaction to it. need them both to be overcompensating in trying to be chill and normal with one another in the most embarrassing and awkward way possible.

[starlesscastellation]

I've determined there is a spectrum to liking a character. on one end, I am defending them because I genuinely believe they did nothing wrong. in the middle, they did in fact do all that stuff but I'm still defending them. the far end? I am making up shit they did to hate on them. I need to bully them MORE.

[victorhugewhore]

Grantaire isn't a twink he would had died of alcohol poisoning if he was a twink . Do not be afraid to make him a bear

[starlesscastellation]

mad at my girlfriend (not actually) because he turned to me while I was doodling les mis characters and said "you should draw the boys, but if they got to grow old."
