might be a corn plate tweet kind of post but during the last round of the mingle game which is where the group only consist of two people, everyone else was running without holding hands except players 222 and 333 that is a canon couple (or exes so far i guess) in the show, and the other pairing that are holding hands are players 120 and 246. could this be a hint that hyunju (120) and gyeong sok (246) could be an endgame in season 3?? bcs i certainly hope so

also the meaning of the color room that they were in is....well, quite fitting for their current relationship dynamic to say the least i'd say

X-Men-inspired AU where the boys are still ghosts, but they were killed (in part) for being mutants

(hate crimes are most likely to occur at the intersection of multiple oppressive axes, of course)

Edwin was killed before the Atomic Age when mutants were not yet publicly known, but his peers certainly knew he was strange, uncanny, too graceful and too flexible, too sensitive, hilariously easy to make jump with loud noises, and they knew when his ears started to grow points and his eyes turned smoldering red that it would be even more hilarious to push all their jokes about him being a demon-freak a little further.

The first time he teleported was out of the hands of the boys holding him down, but it was too late; Sa’al already owned his soul and it delayed his death by barely moments.

His body in Hell has the pointed ears and red eyes, but his ghost form, under his control, does not.

Edwin did not tell Charles that he had been killed for his sexuality, in another universe; in this universe, he tells him about neither that nor his mutation, lets Charles believe the quirks he can’t fully hide (the sensitivity to sound, the slightly-too-much-grace, the flexibility at his wrists) are just Edwin being Edwin. He doesn’t have the words for it, at first, anyway, knows only that he started becoming demonic even before going to Hell.

Charles does know the words. All of the words - mutie, genejoke, genefreak. Has heard them over and over, since he first gave his mum a delicate pink mushroom that he grew from his hand, and his dad saw and asked and Charles didn’t know yet not to tell. He learned.

He learned, very well, but when his mates started kicking that kid, and he started punching them off, the clearing filled with what he later learned was Amanita virosa, the Destroying Angel, and it was a little too late to keep his mouth shut, then.

After he figured out what the Destroying Angel had been, there was a pit in his stomach that never quite left at the fear that some idiot St. Hils kid had tried one at some point in the years after he left and before he went back and burned them all up. Just half of an Amanita virosa cap is plenty to kill.

Edwin was the first person he told mostly of his own will, because he was pretty sure Edwin wasn’t real anyway, and also Edwin had probably seen the amanita and definitely saw the mold that crept up the attic walls as Charles died.

Controlling fungi doesn’t come in as handy as you might think, as a ghost detective, especially since it doesn’t seem to work on magical mushrooms. (He apologized to Edwin for not being able to stop Teeth Face over and over. The one fucking time his mutation could have actually been a good fucking thing, and he was useless.)

Crystal initially assumed Edwin was being a dick to her because he was old and being bigoted about her psychic mutation. Edwin pointed out, to little effect, that bigotry about psychic mutations hadn’t even been invented yet when he died.

The Cat King forced the truth out of his mouth with a golden spell, and then looked at Edwin’s crimson eyes with his own yellow ones and called them beautiful, and it hit something, in Edwin, that he didn’t know how to process.

When Edwin was taken to Hell for the second time, his pointed ears and red eyes came back, again, as his control over his form was ripped away, and he still doesn’t understand how Charles knew it was him and not a demon badly imitating him. But Charles assumes he must have been somehow warped temporarily by Hell, and leads him out with scarcely a word about it. Edwin could have never said anything, and the silence would have been unbroken, both agreeing never to mention it again just as they haven’t for the last 34 years, but -

But Edwin confesses his love on the steps of Hell wearing his own skin for the first time in decades. And Charles’s fingertips brush against the sensitive points of his ears, and Charles looks into the ember-red of his eyes as though they don’t burn. And he finds that somehow, as much as he has always hated it, as much as he has always associated it with death and hatred and pain and Hell and damnation, he can’t bring himself to shrug his natural form off when he gets back to Earth.

Crystal’s eyes bug out, but she doesn’t say anything until after it’s all over, when she punches him quietly in the arm and mutters that he could have just said he wasn’t being a bigot. (He did, he points out, to little effect.)

Niko loves his ears and his eyes and the grace and flexibility with which he moves, when he lets himself, for the little time she gets to do so.

And after Esther…

Edwin holds his hands out to Charles and says “There’s something I’ve been practicing. Do you trust me?” And Charles, as he’d known he would, takes his hands and says “Always.” And Edwin tells him to close his eyes, and then pulls him in closer, wraps his arms around him, and pulls again, and Charles opens his eyes to their office, a continent away from where they had been moments before.

“Well,” Charles says with a grin that shines like the sun, with lips the delicate pink of Marasmius haematocephalus, the pink bonnet mushroom, the resurrection fungus. “That’ll save a lot of money on mirrors.”

Do you have a favourite rain toad? I love them. They're so round and look grumpy even though they aren't.

Did you know that there are arboreal rainfrogs‽

Last night I dreamed about nanotech tattoos. That could be really cool, depending on what kind of story it is.

Optimistic: you can change your tattoo any time you want, to reflect mood and identity and plot. It's great.

Pessimistic: rivals and criminals can hack your tattoo, and change it anytime they want. It sucks.

Dystopian: the government/corporation own your tattoo, and can change it anytime they want. It sucks a lot.

Rom-com: you meet someone else with a tattoo that says "soulmates don't exist" today, and you hit it off surprisingly well.

Comedy: this is a shiny new world for the possibilities of "kick me" signs.

And I'm sure there are plenty more I haven't thought of yet.

Oh! Detective. Dead bodies with clues they coded in just as they were dying, and shifty witnesses who don't dare say out loud what they know, but they can turn at a certain angle so their tattoo is visible for juuuuust a moment...

Derek 📻

(OC musical ask meme - original character Derek, a nice gay American software engineer who probably paints gaming miniatures in his spare time)

Derek doesn't have his own playlist for some reason, and I tried quite hard to direct this to something else. Anything else.

But this guy just doesn't really care about being "cool" or "recent" or "having good performative taste in music." he likes what he likes.

SIGH.

I'm sorry. guy's got no sense of indie cool. "but it's so overplayed, derek," we say sadly, wincing, and he goes Yeah, that was me. It's overplayed because I played it too much.

and we're like "but you're gay, Derek, you can do better," and he's like: Yeah! but I like it. you didn't ask for your musical horizons to be expanded, you asked me for a random song.

The Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love

The book of love has music in it In fact that's where music comes from Some of it's just transcendental Some of it's just really dumb. But I I love it when you sing to me And you You can sing me anything.

I give up. I give up! I wash my hands of him.

sick of the 'floyd bites' agenda in shippy stuff. no he wouldnt. hard disagree. thats a floyd aggression thing. thats not a floyd happy/floyd freaky thing. JADE bites. Jade bites always.

alicent + (lack of) bodily autonomy

"This felt like a baptism. Stripping the outer layer, and that f-cking collar [laughs]. Her getting into the lake on her own is embryonic, in a way. It’s weirdly a coming-of-age moment for Alicent—the start of the rest of her life, what she’s about to do, and the woman she’s possibly about to become." (x)

One year ago, Radio Times wrote an article about the legacy of Good Omens up until that moment in time. Today, we mark six years since the first season of Good Omens aired on television, and the words written above seen more pertinent than ever before.

So much has happened over the last year, to where it seemed uncertain whether we would even have a final season. Filming has already come and gone, and we find ourselves now looking with much anticipation to the next (and final) chapter of the show. To discover what will become of our beloved angel and demon, and to find out how their story ends.

The remarkable thing about Good Omens, however, is that it has been the beginning of so many other stories. Seasoned friendships and relationships that formed and flourished in 2019, deepening with each successive season, and newer friendships that started with the release of season 2 in 2023, and beyond. Something that became less about watching a show and more about finding the people who touch your soul. No matter when or how you became a fan of Good Omens, it found a way to transform your world.

And this has perhaps turned out to be true for Michael and David themselves more than anyone else. Michael, who very recently said that Good Omens changed his life, and David, who has said that he would return to doing these characters every two years for the rest of his life. It's what Radio Times so brilliantly highlighted in the excerpts above--the dynamic between Michael and David that seemed so rock solid from day one, the way they effortlessly play off each other, and the undeniable chemistry of that kiss in the Final Fifteen--a kiss that wouldn't and couldn't ever be the same with anyone else.

It seems hard to believe that season 3 is now on the horizon, and that this part of Aziraphale and Crowley's story is nearly done. But what Michael and David have created--separately, but most especially together, as a team, a group of the two of them--will continue in perpetuity. The music will swell, the end credits will roll, and all will fade to black...but that chemistry and that magic is forever.

No matter what ends up happening in the show, we got to live at the same time that Michael and David found each other and played these roles together. And that's truly something to celebrate...
