#nonbinary omens

[chevril-glove]

Hello there!!

Ask game 1, 6 & 17 :D

Hi there!! Thanks for the ask :)

1. Did you come to Good Omens via the book or the show?

Via the show initially, but I probably started the book before finishing S1.

True story: I was trying to find a free and nonlonely way to watch OFMD or Gentleman Jack, so I asked my college LGBTQ center if we could have a watch party. And THEN my amazing incredible friend (who works there) suggested Good Omens and I looked it up and I was like oh sure okay seems like a potentially good fantasy show. We ended up watching some OFMD and some GO, and I got super hooked on GO probably when the music on "Lift home?" in 1941 came in. Maybe earlier.

Shoutout to my other friend who recommended Pratchett to me years before and then cosplayed A&C with me :D

6. What is your favourite line from the show/book?

"...and I Did Not. Care. For It." from season 2 is one of my favorites (along with the bits before it). But there are so many! Here's some more

- all the usual ones

- special shoutout to "Get in, angel" (S1/book iirc) (S2 has so many more instances of "angel" and it's pretty neat)

- special shoutout to "and I would like to spend..." - S2

- "two consenting bicycle repairmen" - radio play

- "Not a southern pansy, Sargeant Shadwell! The southern pansy!" - S1, possibly book too (they're mixed up in my head)

- the footnote about firelighters in the book

- footnote about snowglobes in the book

- anytime anything nonbinary/gendery happens (man-shaped beings; they/them used at various points for God, Muriel, and Beelzebub; "I'm not. Either. But thank you," Mutt's spouse in S2, Crowley going ehhh when Dalrymple says "you're medical men")

- and of course, the whole paragraph "Many people, upon meeting Aziraphale [...] gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide [...] Heaven is not in England, no matter what certain poets might think [...] [discussion of angelic and human intelligence] [...] angels are sexless unless they really want to make an effort."

- oh gosh there are so many more

17. Would you rather be an angel or a demon?

Gosh I don't know. This brings me to another favorite quote:

Aziraphale was dithering. He'd been dithering for some twelve hours.

That's me right now. I'll just quote Stede Bonnet: "I'm a pretty solid mix of both!"

Is it just me or does this line hit different when you remember that David Tennant actually has a non-binary kid who uses they/them pronouns, and has worn this non-binary rainbow pin to a bunch of interviews in support of them—?

[Update] David Tennant continues his trend of being a trans ally respectful & supportive of non-binary people & gender neutral pronouns in the Doctor Who Special: The Star Beast (2023)

neil gaiman and RTD are absolute legends for being the showrunners of 2 mainstream shows funded by large production companies in the year 2023, and proceeding to make the most queer positive episodes ever seen by man

meanwhile david tennant is just vibrating with joy because he gets more opportunities to wear his one-thousand-and-twenty-four pride pins

[vroomvroomwee]

In all seriousness, the non binary representation in this season is probably the best nonbinary representation I have ever seen in media.

Starting from Aziraphale not assuming Muriels pronouns and referring to them with they/them like it's the most normal thing in the world.

To Crowley (and Shax) using Beelzebubs pronouns so so so effortlessly.

No major talks like "What do you mean they?""I'm not a he/she I'm a they.""Huh? A what?" "Mom, dad *major inhale with tears streaming down their face* I'm non binary"

No "I'm non binary and it is so so so difficult whatever will I do with my life."

Beelzebub not needing to correct or remind anyone of their pronouns.

Misgendering being completely defenestrated

Non binary people being in the background and also being in the spotlight

Non binary people actually having personalities, feelings, thoughts and their own problems and not just being there for the character progression of cis people. (Or as a cash grab)

Just non binary people naturally existing. It's beautiful.

Edit: ALSO one of the two main characters (the two BOTH being actually non binary, like dafuq? You don't have that ANYWHERE else) outwardly stating they're non binary in a very casual and not at all heavy way

And the different types of non binary being recognised. He/him Crowley and Aziraphale, they/them Beels, Saraqael and the magic shopkeepers' spouse (both of whom are polyamorous!), she/they God, he/they Satan etc.

Thank you David Tennant, you absolute KING! He is wearing the nonbinary pin and this nice shirt that pro trans is ♡

My Sexuality is very much women in Armor, so Fem Crowley as an Angel only felt right.

🖤 Slipping Through 💔

Sometimes, when Crowley looks back at his memories of his Fall, he can remember how the last bits of his Grace slipped right through his fingers.
