It’s not Amazon’s fault. It’s not the fandom’s fault and it’s not even the haters who asked for the cancellation’s fault.

It’s Neil Gaiman’s fault. End of discussion. He caused this, because he just couldn’t act like a normal human being and not assault women. He’s done this. And he’s too much of a coward to take the blame and to actually own up to his mess.

I’m so glad he’s out. And i’m glad we still have SOMETHING to look forward to. It’s doable in 90 minutes, guys, and the only reason we have that is because we fought for it. It’s no longer Neil Gaiman’s show. It’s ours.

I think it’s so interesting how much authority is awarded “the author” in different fandoms. You always here people scream “Death of the Author” but still hold up authorship as an authoritative concept.

Like, when Buffy had bad storylines the consensus was something like ‘trust Joss Whedon” who btw turned out to be a horrible person.

Similarly, Kripke was kind of deified by the fandom (and also kind of by the show) during early seasons spn.

Even disclaimers on fanfics show this dynamic. Why did we write stuff like ‘these characters belong to JKR’?!? Like no shit, I didn’t create Sirius Black but the character still doesn’t belong to that woman?

It’s so interesting to look at the stark difference between gomens and spn fan discourse at the moment. I’m not saying one way is the right way, just that the dynamics are interesting.

Neil says something and most people respect it, some even see it as their duty to act as his apostle and spread his word. People are in his asks to try and get his opinion on certain fan theory bc they consider him the ultimate authority over canon.

And then you have spn fans, especially destiel fans. Not only do they not care what kripke/ dabb or most of the show runners say, they actively oppose the “authors”’ perceived interpretations of the characters and routinely make fun of them. Dabb says he wrote a finale that is only meant to satisfy 30% of the fans and the rest of the fandom decides to strike it from canon and collectively produce enough fix-it fic to fill a library.

Can you imagine what would have happened if Dabb or Kripke or whoever had asked the fandom to keep a spoiler or leak like the gomens one a secret?!? It would have become a meme in 5 seconds and it would have trended above a historic election.

I'm sure it's been said but rewatching good omens is highlighting just how ironic their fight at the end of s2 is, that aziraphale whose wearing a falling apart waistcoat because he doesn't want things to change so badly, has to say nothing lasts forever, while crowley who's constantly changing his hair and lives in his car his life is so changeable, wants things to remain as they are.
