#good omens community

[gleafer]

Pardon my crinkly morning voice.

My thoughts on what happened in the USA and our Good Omens community of wonderful people:

To the GO Fandom ...

So ... I am not sure who will see this but I needed to write something.

I fell into the GO Fandom earlier this year after my adult son told me about his writing fanfic on AO3 (for a completely different fandom), and clicking on the link for @phoen1xr0se while reading DFAFM. Since then I have become moots with only a small handful of other fans and followed some of my favourite writers. I am even editing a fanfic! I can't forget about @deichselschwein and DYWACTG! Such a fun story that had me checking daily for updates. This story taught me about weekly updates and having to be patient.

Then @klikandtuna wrote (at some point) FTL and I learned to cry over a story and care deeply about fictional characters on a page.

I had all summer to interact because I am teacher and was on summer holidays. I have been back at work since the end of August and am missing this fandom and my daily interactions greatly. The few I do interact with have become people I look forward to reading about, seeing others leave them "Asks", and maybe even have a short text chat. I miss the way this fandom supports each other, but also allows the messiness of life.

I want it back! It's funny, being someone born in the 70s I never figured I would find a community online ... but I have - even if I am very much on the fringes of it.

This story became important to me after my sister introduced it to me. THEN I saw S1 ... well, we all know what happens to a GO fan after that! 🎣

Anywho ... this long ramble is to say, as much as I hang out on the fringes (I don't write fanfic) of this fandom, I am grateful for it. This spring and summer was the first time in close to a decade I read just for fun ... your stories were the reason why!

I will keep checking in as school finds a rhythm ... we shall see as I teach 12 year olds Maths and Science ... but I miss you all. Keep looking after each other!

Good Omens fandom community! @thewaywardkees posted just over 40 minutes ago that they’ve just started watching the final episode of season 2. It’s happening now! Converge converge! Blankets, tissues, hot chocolate, Eccles cakes stat!

It’s going to be ok. Everything is going to be ok.

So i wanted to share this to boost it, and im tagging the gomens community because she writes Gomens Fan songs. So its definitely relevant.

I feel we dont talk about this issue enough, so i hope this gets boosted! Please go check out her music, and especially the song featuring Michael Sheen!

I went camping yesterday somewhere with no service. I worked through a lot of things.

I don’t expect anyone to actually read my novel under the cut, but the TL/DR:

-I have deleted the post from my page that n**l reblogged the day before this all broke (not sure if there’s a way to delete his? Kinda hate I’m the second post on his page…). It’s not to “hide” what I said. How could I have known? I need to stop feeling guilty for that. It’s that I don’t believe those things anymore.

-Good Omens has a place in me. It’s etched in. And I do not believe that loving those characters and their story means you support that one of the creators. I’m mostly supporting all you artists and writers and beautiful content creators.

-As I’ve said all week, take care of yourself first.

I must have seriously dissociated this week with the panic attacks from SA ptsd because I have pages and pages in my notes app that I DON’T REMEMBER TYPING.

And one of those things was “NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, YOUR LIFE IS BETTER. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. NOTHING AND I MEAN FUCKING NOTHING CHANGES THAT OR CAN TAKE IT AWAY” (yeah I went all caps).

I started doubting myself last week. Started questioning all my progress…everything that I kept thanking n**l for and saying he was responsible for.

But in reality he wasn’t. I WAS. Characters he made and words he wrote may have helped me, but I put in the work. I spent hours and hours thinking and writing and despite how embarrassing it was googling things like “am I asexual” like a confused teenager. I am so happy and confident and I’m dressing how I really want to and I’m saying what I want to and not holding the ME back anymore that I didn’t even realize I’d been suppressing.

I will never support future endeavors. But the joy and inspiration Aziraphale and Crowley have brought us is ours. A horrible person should not be able to take away or negate their story and what it means to us.

To anyone who needs to completely cut off all content. I truly understand. To anyone else choosing to still engage in this fandom, it doesn’t mean we approve or support that one of their creators. We love the story, the characters, the community on here.

Cause look at ao3! Look at fanart! We’ve given them stories and lives and emotions beyond the show and the book in the tens of thousands!! They’re almost more ours now anyway.

Now that I’m off my soap box, I will say for myself as much as anyone else, be kind to yourself and take care

My first pride

No- I'm not like a baby or anything, but this is my first pride Out. This is my first pride being confident, being true in who I am and being free and being known. My name is Maggie, I'm A Non-Binary Sapphic person, who experiences some romantic attraction but not often. Im out and proud, Im confident in who I and who I love and I am just so proud of myself. This time last year, I was having a crisis over who I was, mental health was shit and things weren't great. This year, however, I feel like a new person. I'm investing myself into things I love, making new friends, pulling myself away from those who make me feel how I dislike, and I love how I feel right now and some of that was due to good omens. good omens has opened me up to an amazing fandom who accepts everyone, no matter the background or who you are. good omens opened me up to some of my best friends, people who I love and have incredible friendships with. this fandiom is the first one where I've felt accepted. where I can share my art, my writing and my theories and it can be accepted with open arms. i love you all thank you

So. I don't like doing this cos I always feel a bit icky about it but.

I dont get paid for a while. I'm trying to exchange my ticket for Macbeth for one where I can access the show with more ease, can use my electric wheelchair, and have it stored at the venue after transferring to my seat, instead of having to limp along on my stick, which is dangerous for me because I'm unsteady on my feet.

The issue is that all the Dress Circle tickets for Macbeth cost over, and above, what I paid for my OG stalls ticket. The cheapest I've found is £175 in the dress circle. My OG stalls ticket was £125. So, to exchange tickets, I need to find £50ish to secure a seat.

I wouldn't do this, but having my access needs met is really important. Without it, I'm not sure I will be able to cope with going to see the play, unfortunately. There are tickets available on my birthday, and I've already put in a request to exchange my seats, but I need the £50. :<

I'm happy to write something as a gift for anyone who donates. I don't like e-begging, really, but it's for something really important to me. I wouldn't ask yall if it wasn't.

You can donate to my ko-fi if you are so inclined. If you leave your tumblr username or contact me here through DMs too, I can get in touch and arrange to write something Good Omens related for you as a gift in exchange.

I know the GO fandom and tumblr are generally full of good beans, so I'm hoping I can get some help with this in exchange for some writing or something. I can also do some graphic design stuff, and if you're in the UK, I could also make physical badges for you!

I have officially made it back to the state I live in. Still struggling emotionally with the things happening back in my home state. I'll do a double chapter drop on Friday for the chapter I missed. It's all uploaded I just can't fully focus on posting it right now.

Again any relief you can send to Asheville NC and the smaller townships around it would be helpful. Still difficult to reach people and it's really hit the community hard.

Slowly but surely coming back to reality now after a weekend which I feel the words amazing and wonderful are falling terribly short in describing. It shall suffice to say that my mind. Was. Blown.

As a virgin Con-goer, I think I could not have wished for a better first-time experience and I'm shouting my thanks to the universe that our most loveliest and greatest organizers Bethany and Rachael reached out to me while being on the waiting list to offer me a ticket to TIC5!! I am. So. Grateful. 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

Everyone, I met at this year's Ineffable Con: I love you! You're amazing! And you made this experience extra special to me!!! I feel so much more connected to the fandom now. And to have the privilege to witness the kindness, love and generosity from all you people...I'm repeating myself but I'm mind-blown and I will forever cherish all the lovely memories I made!!

Sending out a huge thank you and lots of love to everyone!! I sincerely hope this fandom will never stop to exist ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Ack! I've been back at work for 3 days and already miss the GO Fandom!

Ya'll were like my The Them this summer. Everyone with different personalities and talents but joined by something good and fun! It made me smile, laugh, and cry each day to come on and check-in. Now I barely have time to check personal email. 😩 It will settle down, but I love this community and would love to be more interactive with it. The way I have seen people come together and support others is amazing! "All because of a story!"

Some of you are creators; dome are like me and just consume the amazing stuff turned out ... I am sending love & good vibes to our creators. May you be inspired to not k my create but to also take a rest and care for yourself and your peeps. You don't owe us anything. 💜

To my fellow consumers ... keep commenting and interacting. Leave KUDOS and comments on AO3! Say "Hi!" to your favourite creator! Say thank you for all the amazing stuff they give us!

I am astonishingly emotional about this community and it is an amazing thing!🥺🫂💜

So thanks for being a new The Them for me!

"Not everything is gay" babe youre saying this on the wrong platform. Everything is kinda gay on Tumblr.

A big wahoo to the organizers for making this possible!

And if you’re a Good Omens fan planning to share some more kindness with the world and participate in the future fandom events at the same time, either physically or virtually, make sure to answer the interest check for the next edition of The Ineffable Con and register to this year’s online celebration of Earth’s Birthday on October 19th!

🥂 We’re in ineffable wonderment of this fandom! 🥂

A massive £11,148.71 has been raised for Alzheimer’s Research UK in memory of Sir Terry Pratchett from TIC 5…

…meaning a whopping £51,546.48 has been raised since TIC 1 in October 2019!

THANK YOU! 😇🥂😈
