You know my Good Omens obsessed ass made a Duo Print of these two ...
People were very happy to see my GO content at the con, because there wasn't a lot of other Good Omens art :( there were a lot of good omens cosplayers though, which were fun to see!
From an Art Style Request round over on Insta/Twitter!
(I actually wanted to make a colored version of them as animal villagers too but I am currently laying in my bed with the flu so I didn‘t have the energy for it 🫠)
Coming from a person who used to ship Gavin and Connor religiously, I think a lot of the time with characters like Gavin, people crave redemption arcs that just aren't present. The whole appeal of Gavin (for me at least, in the past) is that yeah, he's an asshole, but Connor can be his reason to change for the better. That said, canonical Gavin is just a dick in general with no redeeming qualities whatsoever and we'll probably never see a version of him where he redeems himself.
Idk how tf majority of the fandom likes Gavin Reed this damn much when he's canonically a robo-racist and an asshole in general.
Like every moment he's on screen he is being robo-racist, saying robo-slurs, being a dick, or abusing connor. How tf are ya'll praising a character like this.
The fandom compares him to Hank so damn much, but he's quite literally nothing like him.
Hank's a grieving man who's blaming androids because one happened to be there when his son died, and the racist world around him fuled that hatred he had.
Gavin doesn't even have a hint of that, and I'd rather the fandom double-down on the fact he's a racist asshole than try to make him sympathetic by rehashing Hanks reasons. Ya'll could still redeem a character like canon Gavin, but it's way harder, so ya don't want to.
But what's really the icing in the cake is the fact people love Gavin, and HATE North.
North has such a great reason for why she hates humans, and it's because she was a SEX SLAVE, but ya'll like to ignore that.
You guys act like she was forcing Markus to go violent when she was just expressing her opinions.
When it comes to the game, it really fumbled the bag with Norths character, as I feel she is underdeveloped. However, since Gavin is a racist pos with 2 seconds in game and people love him, I hardly believe it's because she's underwritten.
I would much rather Leo take Gavins place in the fandom, since he's similar to him (racist, white man, barley any screentime) but is actually sympathetic and is implied he got better. Like that moment when he's visiting his dad's grave and he sees Markus but doesn't say anything to him, or call for authorities? Yeah, Gavin would've tried to kill him on sight with no remorse.
"It's better to do one thing well than two things poorly" is definitely a solid rule in game design, but I have to admit a weakness for old console games that were basically two different games stacked on top of each other. Zelda II: The Adventures of Link (top-down exploration overworld which becomes a side-scrolling action platformer in dungeons), Blaster Master (side-scrolling metroidvania which becomes a top-down arcade shooter in dungeons), and The Guardian Legend (top-down action RPG which becomes a vertical shoot-'em-up in dungeons) are all titles I remember fondly, but I think my favourite example of the type is the Super Nintendo version of Jurassic Park, which has a brightly coloured Legend of Zelda style top-down overworld, then when you go inside buildings it becomes a survival-horror first person shooter. It's a game-mechanically incomprehensible choice which actually makes perfect sense in terms of emulating the source material, and it's a small disappointment to me that nobody's ever made a serious effort at elaborating on it.
i want you all to know this is still the funniest thing my lizard brain has ever come up with and i am filled with delight and utter dread every time one of you reblog it with new tags
