#but there are also some ppl rightfully speaking up abt it n i still feel angry towards them. it's probably jealousy if im being real

i'm already aware of this (pratchett writing like 75% of the original novel, the show being worked on by tons of good people, etc) but it is undeniable that good omens was a gigantic source of popularity for neil specifically and that its success was very much entwined with his popularity. he was like tumblr's pet celeb in no small part bc so many people here liked good omens. and like i'm a big dt fan and i love n think he's perfect as crowley but so much of my enjoyment of that character is tainted bc several of my favorite moments of his (the 1941 church scene, the "show me a great plan" scene, the bar scene where he's lamenting his fall/az's death, the final fifteen in s2). Were written by neil! and that sucks so fucking deeply. like of course i would be ecstatic if they managed to remove him from the production entirely for s3 and i really hope they do, but there is still that sense of "something i used to enjoy is kind of ruined forever". i feel nothing but vehement rage towards that man and this extends to every single work of his that i've enjoyed, good omens the most bc this was where i first found out abt him and it was by far my favorite out of the things he'd made

i'll be honest i feel like i'm growing to resent good omens quite a bit which i guess is expected seeing as i don't really separate art from artist that much. but i am also rly sad about feeling that way cuz crowley is/was one of my fav fictional characters and also you can trace multiple of my current interests (ie. doctor who, shakespeare) back to the show
