Edit Note: I'm really amazed by how much love this post got. Guess it just shows we're all in the same boat. I do have other humorous writing memes on this tumblr under the same tag, if you're interested. Never give up writing! ❤️

Edit Note 2: I can't believe this has reached 25,000+ notes. Been on tumblr for ten years (different account) and nothing like this has ever happened before. Thank you! 😊

I'm going to say something for once, because I agree with @greatinternetllama

First thing first:

I guess the reason why I've never been a fan of this particular author is because, as far as I can tell, he's mostly a children's author and I'm too old for kids' stuff. it's just not fair for an adult to engage with children's entertainment and then complain when she doesn't like it. Why would she? It's not for her demography.

You start by stating that you do not hold any interest in the work, because it's intented for children.

Cool, you're not interested by it, whatever your reason, it's valid, you're not forced to watch it nor like it.

But I am qualified to say that judging from the clips that I was exposed to on Tumblr Good Omens is pure religion propaganda disguised as LGBT empowerment.

You didn't watch the show.

You said, your words not mine: that you do not engage with this stuff, that you only saw clips on Tumblr. And thats how you justify this?

You're accusing a show of religion propaganda, where angels AND demons are shown as problematic, without even seeing what its about?

How, pray tell, are you qualified to judge a show you didn't watch?

1 - Jesus is a fictional character, not an historical figure, and God doesn't exist.

Where's your source? You're going to say that Jesus is not even in history, but not add any proof of it? When there have been discussion about it from historians and scientific? Are you an historian, to state this specific thing? And saying "God doesn't exist" as if its an universal true, when the show is not about reality? Really.

But only if it's gay men, that's well understood. Being an LGBT supporter is only virtuous if it's in reality a thinly disguised support for men.

So the Lesbian couple of the second season doesn't exist, with Crowley (a demon, not the devil, just to make sure you didn't miss the earlier reblog) playing matchmaker with them, and Aziraphale supporting it?

Oh, of course you wouldn't know about them, since you didn't watch the show.

Women will always be up for it with slavishly abject devotion, and men would sooner die than support any woman or any female couple whose love by definition excludes them and their sexual desires.

Hey, hello, lesbian here, with straight men friends, straight men coworkers and straight men in my family, who would support me and my sexuality without a second thought; kindly fuck off with this assumption.

Again, let's talk about the lesbian couple in the show, who was out and about, not half truth or between the line reality. No queerbaiting.

So, all this to say: you're so qualified take on Good Omens is bullshit.

You didn't watch the show.

You assume half the things on the show (and missing by a fucking mile the point of the crucifixion scene or anything actually related to religion)

Did not add any sources to your so called facts about Jesus

Make a gross generalisation, with the underlying impression that WLW couple are not valid because of MEN

Also make a gross generalisation that women only support "slavishly abject devotion" gay couple, which also F-off about that.

Intellectual terrorrism does not mean what you think it means; i did not find any definition that would support your claim; if you do have one, source it.

Also, critizing Tumblr girls for shipping a couple, be it gay or not, is immature. Let them ship what they want! They're not insulting the community, they're not doing anything bad. Oh, you're annoyed by it! Well, I'm annoyed by people shipping some fictionnal character too! Do you know what I don't do? Go in their fandom and rant about their interest. You call youself an adult, but you act like a child.

But! I will congratulate you for the only good thing in your rant: you did source David Tennant disrespect.

Oh, and before anyone come at me for grammar mistakes; english is not my first language.

I do feel sorry for Neil Gaiman fans because I too have been disappointed in artists that have meant a lot to me. I guess the reason why I've never been a fan of this particular author is because, as far as I can tell, he's mostly a children's author and I'm too old for kids' stuff. it's just not fair for an adult to engage with children's entertainment and then complain when she doesn't like it. Why would she? It's not for her demography. As long as the children love it that's what matters.

But I am qualified to say that judging from the clips that I was exposed to on Tumblr Good Omens is pure religion propaganda disguised as LGBT empowerment.

I am thinking specifically of that scene where Jesus is apparently being crucified and the devil is visibly disturbed by the violence - why? He's a devil and Hell is supposed to be a horrible place of endless torture perpetrated by devils just like him. People were crucified to death by Romans all the time, this was a very common thing.

The angel tells him that humans are killing Jesus simply for having asked them to love one another, that's all. And the devil says "Yeah, that'll do it", as if anyone has ever been crucified for this reason. Let's give ourselves some credit as a species, please.

First things first

1 - Jesus is a fictional character, not an historical figure, and God doesn't exist.

2 - In the New Testament Jesus is crucified for challenging the authority of the Romans when He says that He is God made flesh and that God is the boss of everything, including Judea. The Romans can see He is gathering quite a following of fanatics who will do anything He says, so they crucify Him like they typically did IRL to those who opposed Roman authority. That's it.

And finally

3 - Jesus did not invent the concept of loving your fellow man, but He did invent threatening people with Hell everlasting if they did not accept Him as their Messiah. You could be the best person ever, who's done nothing but wonderful things all your life, but Jesus is only impressed if you believe in Him, if not you're going to Hell, out of spite presumably; but also because the authors of this fairy tale really wanted to force you to believe in their made-up fictional character as a real thing. This is intellectual terrorism and no one has the right to do this to you.

Good Omens was an all out, masks off, only too obviously transparent religion propaganda that told lies to children... but that's ok, because Neil Gaiman the famous author and rapist brought it to you and packaged it in the form of a gay couple, one of whom was David Tennant, on steroids - the guy who said he doesn't like black women talking too loud.

Wow, another male gay couple for girls to adore - what is this, only the 465723554657 time that I've seen this on TV so far? What an irresistible proposition for Tumblr girls who can never pass up on the opportunity to virtue signal their support for the LGBT community.

But only if it's gay men, that's well understood. Being an LGBT supporter is only virtuous if it's in reality a thinly disguised support for men. Women will always be up for it with slavishly abject devotion, and men would sooner die than support any woman or any female couple whose love by definition excludes them and their sexual desires.

Masterpost!

Fanfictions:

Summary:

<You are coming with me,> Caraxes rumbled, letting a new whistling, high pitched roar to the rest of the room, making everyone take a step back, before he carefully reached the King, opening his mouth.

“Your Grace!!” Some people screamed in terror, and Viserys tilted his head, gaze curious. Caraxes send him a wave of Dreamfyre’s magic to share his intention and some of his healing ability, absently hearing his Muña’s bonded gasping from afar, and the King eye cleared up. Caraxes opened his jaw wider, feeling the man hold his teeth as he carefully got on his tongue, which he raised to allow him to sit like on a chair, the man carefully balancing himself at the very tip of his mouth.

“Viserys, what are you doing?!” Rhaenys yelled over the gasps and screams of the man around them, and Caraxes met Daemon stunned and half terrified gaze.

Viserys kept hold of his lower lip to not fall, and Caraxes carefully, gently, retreated to the widow.

OR Dreamfyre is a Dragon Dreamer. She saw the end of the Targaryen's dynasty and said "Fuck no."

OR dragons are sentient, magic and can turn human. Caraxes is chosen to kidnap the king. Yay.

[dirus-works]

if one more person comments on my "we need to keep payphones/public phones" post with "what we need are free phone charging stations and wifi hotspots, like in new york!" i am going to lose my mind. what do you people not understand about "not everyone has a smartphone" and "phones can break". how are these new concepts.

[dirus-works]

From someone who works as a secretary and has a landline at work, please bring it back; there's nothing as satisfying than hanging up at in an asshole's face.

reasons landlines should make a come back.

slamming the phone can be satisfying

cord to play with

smartphones are almost never used for calls, all the calls you do get you don't want (do not call registry seems to mean nothing)

tactile buttons

if you have a corded phone it will still technically work even if power is out most of the time.

physical media is making a larger comeback for most. I think we were way too quick (myself included) to get rid of 'old' tech in favor of new shit.
