The end of good omens 3 except instead of Satan and God showing up in the bookshop it’s the delivery man from s1 to pick up the backup copy of the Book of Life that has been there all along.

If we're gonna get random human AU of the ineffables as the epilogue, then I'm going to believe that a version of them exists at every time point in history. Bildad is out there. As is Regency Aziraphale. Otherwise what's the point.

Hey, remember when good omens was a feel good odd couple comedy about a failed Armageddon? Hey? Hey? Is this thing on??!

[aduckwithears]

It turns out I vastly underestimated the deep relief I would feel seeing Crowley and Aziraphale back together again. Like, we knew it was going to happen, but actually seeing it is healing me.

Periodically, it hits me like a ton of bricks that this scene exists:

With the windows framed as their wings, the hand fluttering to the back, the most emotionally devastating kiss ever to be filmed...

I am still not well.

Meanwhile the good omens book boys are just kicked back in their cottage watching all this go down, still completely mystified by the choices humans make.

[aduckwithears]

Oddly, I feel happier and more at peace right now than I did in the same time frame after s2 dropped. It’s not that the ending as shown was (imo) happy, and it’s not that I liked the bittersweet angle. It’s that the whole thing strayed so far from what good omens meant and means to me that I can simply disregard it and go back to my happy place (book/s1).

Remember in 2019 when fandom disagreement meant having alternate theories as to how Aziraphale would have reacted to the "wrestling" statue in Crowley's flat?

Still just the best, thirstiest piece of set design that has ever existed.
