Also if you think the angel Aziraphale has ever heard the song "Take Me to Church" without being consumed by enormous, contradictory, and incompatible feelings you have another think coming let me tell you that. Not sure he can figure out what they are, mind, but there are definitely little gears turning away in there.

#good omens #no spoilers I'm just punch drunk and making wild connections tonight #something something something the song exists in a tradition of queer defiance of spiritual abuse #that is very much in keeping with the best of Good Omens fandom #which hey pulling things full circle was my very first queer fandom #and therefore while the canon particularly the book is very important to me #I'm equally and maybe more indebted to the fandom #which showed me how to be an adult as well as how to be queer #as I can see happening again in the modern version #PARTICULARLY THOSE BITS OF IT THAT AREN'T TOTALLY FIXATED ON WHAT EXACT FORM QUEERNESS TAKES #because holy hell you dipshit kids I'm out here sketching out what that video and those lyrics meant to me and I'm *asexual*#and yet still I find great meaning in stories about transcendent experience of queer sex despite being totally uninterested in sex itself #because queerness is a broader experience than amatonormative expression of sex for the sake of fuck #and I therefore resonate with lots of very queer stories that don't look completely like mine #blah blah blah human condition. fuck!
