Listen man, I was already kind enough to praise your small monkey in the DMs:
You never got back to me, yet here you are, sending me an ask containing the monkey once again. You never replied to my DM but you continue to send me the monkey, all in complete silence.
I would love to share this with everyone who may happen to see this post. Please support this wonderful human being. He spent nearly a half century in prison for a crime he never committed. And the only thing that kept him going was his artistic endeavors. He deserves the best life can offer anyone ❤️
I'm barely aware of the reboot(?) Happening but everybody's talking about atla again and you know what. Toph might be the 12 year old girl character of all time. She loves dirt and throwing rocks at people. She's sick of condescending patronizing bullshit controlling her (this is a sign of a good disabled character also). She's three ounces of whoop ass. She's probably a lesbian. Like this was huge for the 12 year old girl community
Not only does she love throwing rocks at people, she is quite possibly the greatest of all time at throwing rocks at people. World champion rock thrower. She regularly beats the shit out of grown ass men, specifically because they think she can't. She's everything
Worldcat is my bestie and my one true love!! Not only does it tell you what library a book is at, but it also price compares different used book sites against each other for easy view! It's how I got Tarot For the Master for $10!!
Oh, and since I have your attention: z-library (books and textbooks) and sci-hub (gatekept scientific journal articles.) I just ripped a textbook for class off z-library and snatched a required reading from sci-hub. Life is good and education should be accessible at every stage and station of life.
So I’m reading so much hate for GO3 today. I had so much mixed feelings after it all but then I sat down with ALL of my complicated feelings and worked through it all while my kid went to watch some other random cartoon.
Hot take and spoilers below!
The most important point I think a lot of haters are missing is that their decision at the end is so them. It’s classic Aziraphale and Crowley. To the world. The WORLD! They’ve sacrificed themselves to save the world they love, the world where THEY fell in love with each other. Aziraphale was resigned yes, but he knew. He absolutely knew what Crowley would choose, and he wouldn’t be the being he fell in love with if he had chosen any different.
And so so many people saying that Asa and Crowley weren’t really them. But are they not? Asa had Aziraphale’s pinky ring! His name is literally Asa Fell - A.Z. FELL (ZED not ZEE apologies to our American friends!) Crowley’s name is still his CHOSEN one from our favourite flashback! He’s an astrophysicist! Asa wearing a bloody bow tie at dinner! He works in a damn bookshop for g- s- someone’s sake!
What would have been the point restoring everything to before where free will was just an illusion? Where everything could be fobbed off as “ineffable”. Back to a world where they spent 6000 years pining and yearning and so, so, much time wasted not being able to be together. Where they could be complete. Asa and Anthony may not have had the angel and demon’s histories, but that doesn’t erase what the demon and angel did to save the world. This version of them didn’t have eternity to waste. They had a chance and took it. And I love, love, love that Az was the one who went for it.
And I don’t believe for a second that God didn’t mean for them to find each other again. The names, the pinky ring, all their little quirks from “before”. It IS them. Yes, a different them than what we’re used to, a them without any fancy powers and tragic backstory, but them nonetheless. And I have to admit that part when Crowley goes “you have no idea how much that hurts me”. I honestly thought WHAT IF - Crowley remembers?! And then: “Did I do something wrong?”?!!! Wtf so many phrases harkening back to BEFORE. I even thought IS IT BECAUSE AZ IS ACTUALLY SELLING A BOOK - for half price no less!!!
People, please, come on.
And yes, I hear you - WHERE’S OUR KISS?? I want that too. But also - does everything have to be so in your face? Did you want full on snogging and a sex scene too? Go read a fanfic then! Or watch Heated Rivalries! Do you not see that the entire last 20mins is an ode to their love?? That whole monologue when Az told Crowley that he was the best of them, that he was the only one of them who genuinely believed that there had to be a sensible purpose to it all - THIS WHOLE THING WAS WAY BETTER THAN A KISS. And the two fingers to his lips - omg again that is SO SO THEM! I ‘m crying just writing about it now. This bit: “Why give me Crowley? Why make me complete and then take it away??”. How did Crowley respond?! Was he surprised? Was he shocked that Az has said this to GOD? He just casually as you please - leant over and told Az not to expect an answer. Cos it’s not news to him. They have been in love for thousands of years, they know it, God knows it!
Take it from someone who’s been married to the same person for the last 16 years, and together for another 5 years before that. Yes, yes I’m old, whatever. But for some us, that is what love looks like. It doesn’t need to be loud; it doesn’t need to be explicit. Love is telling someone he was always the best of all of you; not the demon everyone says he is. Love is giving him the choice to decide your fates - cos you know, you know that if it was up to you that you would choose to never hurt him again, to choose not to be the reason you are separated once more. It is knowing AND accepting that his choice will always be the one you knew he’d take from the beginning - cos that’s just who you fell in love with - the best one of them all.
And then after all that, after just two fingers pressed to lips - they still find each other? They get their cottage in the South Downs? How is that not the most poetic, most deserving ending for our pair?
that post that's like. fans have got too used to acting as stakeholders. media analysis is about the narrative intentions not a checklist of what fans want. i think criticism of the finale because it didn't include specific elements we wanted to see is separate (if sometimes intertwined) from whether the narrative worked overall. because as an overall arc it makes sense. from the start they wanted an earth where humans could live their lives free to make their own choices, without interference or pre-determined rules and plans and divisions into heaven and hell. crowley believed the system couldn't be fixed, aziraphale believed god could be reasoned with, and in the end they were both right and they both got what they wanted: a chance for humans and them to make choices that were true to who they were. for crowley and aziraphale that was choosing each other. it always would be
I don't think you understand how important this kiss is.
Doing this in front of God too.
They sacrificed their love so that we, humans, could love each other and make decisions. They spent 6000 years teaching each other that humanity is not a toy. They died for us, they love us as much, if not more than they love each other. They are our deities, our creators. They are Love. We are children of Love.
