I both really hope and am worried about if people are right about Klaus developing contamination ocd after losing his powers.

It has the potential to be either amazing representation or completely butchered. Like I have no doubt Robert Sheehan would do it justice considering his character and working on ‘The Road Within’, but I feel like fanfics and fandom will either be heart achingly well written/interpreted or grossly oversimplified into ‘eek ok he had a chat and he’s over it now!’ and completely miss out the intrusive thoughts that would be keeping Klaus wearing his mask and gloves etc.

I started playing piano when I was 5 because my mom was really ambitious with me and wanted me to be one of those super talented picture book kids with perfect grades and desirable hobbies that impress the grown ups.

I played for 8 years till I was 13, and by then I hadn't had fun playing in years. But my mom was still forcing me to do it, yelling at me, beating me, bribing me with gifts, but every day when it was time to practice I would cry because I just didn't want to do it.

When I was 17 she signed me up for a classic guitar course, and it was the same thing. I ust didn't thrive in environments like that. I stopped going shortly after, because practicing was pain for me. My mother was absolutely devastated. My grades were shit, I had mental health problems and I couldn't even do this one thing.

I'm 28 now. I just bought the electric guitar of my dreams, and when I told my mom on the phone she said she thinks I won't get far with it. But I'm learning on my own terms now and I just started learning to play my favorite Nirvana song. I've never had this much fun playing music in my entire life.

It's nice to be finally free. To all the kids out there who are having a hard time because of their parents: you'll get through it and It'll get better. I believe in you. And you'll get that cool guitar that you've been wanting since you were 14.

One of the weird hard things about being ex-mormon that I never would have imagined is missing the songs and having them get stuck in your head even years later.

Like the primary songs can be so creepy when you break them down. But goddamn were they catchy. And the hymns are just so easy to remember.

And it's hard thinking about these songs because they definitely trigger the religious trauma. But they also remind me of some of the nicer times.

Most of all I'm such a music lover that just the tunes themselves can just get stuck in my head for ages.

Being a part of the Wings Of Fire fandom was wild. I started reading the books when I was in fourth grade and my small gang of nerdy friends and I built a society around them.

We designated different parts of the playground/recess area to different kingdoms, and assigned different people different characters. I can still remember everyone's dragon counterpart to this day.

The best part was that we were like 11 and the laws we established were sacrosanct (except for territorial disputes). My little 11 year old ass was adamant about the integrity of our council meetings.

I also have memories of drama going on with Turtle's character? He kept going to different kingdoms (bro was bouncing between the rain garden and slide) and being such a nuisance that different tribes started to declare war on him. Then Turtle got upset because he felt ganged up on and Deathbringer had a heart to heart with him on the concrete stairs.

We talk a lot about warrior cats roleplay and the sheer chaos of it on this site, but we don't talk about the other books that were blessed with playground debauchery.

I just informed my roommate that she has 4 months to find a new place to live. I feel terrible because she doesn't have a job and has no family to take her in. But I have been financially supporting her for nearly 2 years now. In rent alone I've covered $14,000 that should have been her share. I've been a doormat too long. This had to happen.

But even still I feel like a terrible person. Like I'm turning my back on her. Even if this needed to happen, I feel like an absolute cunt.

Why good omens is so powerful from someone who grew up in the Catholic church

I want to preface this by saying this is not an attack in any way on Catholic people, or Christians as a whole for that matter, most of you are cool normal people. This is just based off of my weird experience and how Good Omens effected me after.

I was raised in a Catholic school despite my family being agnostic which kind of warped my view of the world for a very long time. My parents were too busy to explain things to me so almost everything I was taught at a young age was spoonfed to me by the church.

Even though I wasn't particularly religious and my school wasn't awful to me or anything, it was still very clear that at this school you were going to participate and if you weren't baptized you were different.

It was funny, despite the wildly different situations I related to Crowley so much when I first saw the show (when I was maybe 12?). Sometimes I was ostracized by my Catholic peers and it hurt a lot. As I got older I adopted the same sort of blasé attitude Crowley has because it's what people expected of me.

Then I saw prefall Crowley in season two, and wow. That destroyed me. It reminded me of when I was younger and believed in the church and religion despite the fact I wasn't baptized. Then I started asking questions. Why was being gay a sin? Why was knowing the difference between good and evil bad? Why was everyone so angry?

And that was it. When I stopped trying to be Catholic because it felt like they didn't want me, I was different. Crowley is a great character not only because of how multifaceted he is, but because he is a great parallel to how people can be and ARE treated by the church.

Maybe this is obvious and I'm only catching it now, but Good Omens and religious trauma kind of go hand in hand. Thanks Neil for helping me realize what I went through as a kid wasn't normal and giving me a piece of media that made it so much easier to break down all the weird stuff I was taught.

TL;DR: I was a weird traumatized little kid and Good Omens helped me cope. Also Crowley is a metaphor.
