I love this gay ass show with its literally life ending injuries that heal immediately, but only when convenient to the plot, and its ridiculous use of modern phrases, and its laughing in the face of historical accuracy, and its kissing the face of the fans instead of trying to outwit them, and the way everyone involved in the show seem to go 'I KNOW RIGHT! I'M EXCITED TOO!' instead of mocking the fans
#i have so many feelings#i can't quite express the way everyone involved seems to want us to love the show#like when you love something so you show it to a friend and vibrate with excitement while you watch them love it#so that you can scream about it together#it feels like djenks and the writers and the cast and the crew are in on the joke *with* us#which contrasts so sharply to the way so many fandoms find themselves to *be* the joke#the joke being how much we love the show#the fact that everyone involved cares *so much* about the show is really obvious#not just this is a fun show but this is a *meaningful* show#i truly have never felt so much like i have a community as i have with this show and the fans of it#it is also one of the only shows i can think of (maybe some of neil gaiman's adaptations?) where the trademark over analysing and meta#and theories of the fans isn't ridiculed#this ties back into the being in on the joke thing#back when we didn't know blackbonnet was going to be *canon* canon#and djenks reaction to us freaking out that we were RIGHT was basically#well yeah?#i want to write a love letter to everyone but i don't know how#ofmd#mine#our flag means death#david jenkins#ofmd s2#ofmd 2#kissing david jenkins on the mouth

I think it genuinely cannot be overstated how important that kiss in season 2 of Good Omens was.
From a plot standpoint, that kiss showed Crowley's desperate attempts to keep Aziraphale, to reel him in and back to the Us that they had built upon.
But from just a show standpoint, they. fucking. kissed.
Obviously their love transcends physicality, and Neil has said that Good Omens is a love story even before season 2, but the outright confirmation of a widely popular queer ship ON SCREEN is just so... Unheard of.
Every fandom or show has their trademark gay couple that aren't-really-gay-but-also-kind-of-are-gay: Merlin and Arthur, Sherlock and John (very heavy offender), Dean and Castiel (okay this one was canon, but we all know what happened IMMEDIATELY afterwards), and I suppose at some point Ineffable Husbands had just been included in the same category as the rest of them.
And to have it be moved from mostly fandom and fan work fuelled to outright canon - like 'they fucking kissed on screen' canon - is just so fucking fantastic.
It's not vague, it's not lines that are blurred for the sake of being on the fence of appealing to two audiences at once, and it's not only canon because the creator just said it's canon without rhyme or reason purely for the sake of appealing to a queer audience (looking at you, Ms J. K. Rowling) - it's undeniable, blatant evidence that Crowley and Aziraphale are in love.
And yes, at the moment it's devastating, but it's also devastatingly real. And that's so important.
Especially with the release of Our Flag Means Death, I really do hope we are entering a new era in mainstream media where queer ships finally aren't treated as some sort of mysterious prize that the writers dangle in front of you like a carrot on a stick, and are just simply treated like any other ship out there.
Because if so, then queer kids will be growing up to these shows, see this new era of unabashedly queer media, and won't have to hide away their ships like some dirty little secret. They won't have to wonder if their representation is even representation. They won't have to get excited over being able to see the small chance of themselves represented in a character only to be let down so incredibly badly, because queerness is good only when it's marketable.
So sure, ending season 2 like that is fucking crazy, but you know what's crazier? Whatever the fuck Neil just did with that kiss.
#and you know what's even fucking crazier than that??? casual queerness in background characters that aren't used as punchlines#the man at the graveyard who used grindr#mutt and his nonbinary spouse#casual inclusion of genderqueer characters#oh my god i love you neil gaiman#i hope he knows the impact he's having on the new generation of queer kids#and maybe i'm talking out of my ass idk. but as someone who watched sherlock as a wee little lad the kiss was VERY important to me#good omens#ineffable husbands#ineffable husbands headcanon#anthony j crowley#good omens crowley#crowley#good omens aziraphale#aziraphale#crowley x aziraphale#aziraphale x crowley#my posts#good omens season 2#good omens 2#ineffable lovers#ineffable idiots#neil gaiman#lgbt representation#representation matters#ineffable bureaucracy#maggie x nina

Once again, it's not parasocial to feel a genuine disappointment that someone you like and looked up to turned out to be a terrible person.
It is a little parasocial to try to defend him, though.
#neil gaiman#i don't think any of you fully understand how that word is used#it's okay to feel like shit that you can't watch your favorite show anymore it not talking away from anyone else hurt#good omens#dead boy detectives

That man gets romance right. *side eyes tl writers*#despite the angst of aziraphale and crowley (and not being able to watch THAT SCENE) i know it'll all be ok and they're canonly in love#which is why ted lasso did more damage to me than gomens#their loves leaving them although ironically aziraphale is the ted while rebecca is the crowley#i'll just leave this here and hide

can't stop thinking how s1 was all about Crowley and his acts of service, then in s2 we got Aziraphale's closeness. his hand on Crowley's arm, chest, back. wherever, just on Crowley.
i dunno what is it that SPARKS SOMETHING ON ME

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate Good Omens for improving on the bad duck-feeding habits featured in Season 1, but my brain can’t help thinking about the probable cause of this in the Doyleist sense.
I have two theories:
A legion of fans wrote angry messages to Neil Gaiman about it to the point where he felt morally obligated to do something.
John Finnemore already knew this about ducks, and upon joining the show said, “Alright Neil, you know we have to fix the duck situation, I can’t in good conscience put my name on something that promotes unhealthy lifestyle habits for waterfowl.”
My money’s on the second one personally.
#I love John Finnemore’s sketch comedy but i have noticed he can’t use a common misconception for a joke#unless he then goes out of his way to point out the factual inaccuracy…. Especially if Someone Is Wrong About Animals#so writing a show that was not good for ducks would just be unbearable to him#good omens#john finnemore#neil gaiman#To be fair- I too get cross when something I watch is Wrong About Animals . This is not a criticism. He is Right.
