as if inej’s entire backstory isn’t dependent upon her being taken at 14. as if the entire point of both matthias and nina’s conflict isn’t that they were both raised a certain way and now that they’ve come to adolescence they have a chance to break free. as if wylan’s entire relationship with his father isn’t about him coming of age. as if the entire point of kaz’s dirtyhands persona isn’t that he’s seventeen and terrified of the older barrel bosses. i don’t even wanna get INTO jesper. or kuwei.
I've been seeing so many, "the crows aren't reeeaallly teenagers", "them being kids makes me uncomfortable", "I age them up in my head", "I like the ages better in the show", and idk if I have the energy to hash out the meta essay it takes to address these opinions and why they are deeply wrong, so I will just say BITES YOU BITES YOU BITES YOU BITES YOU
@ people who for some reason thought Namor was FLIRTING with the 20 yr-old whose mother he murdered
@ the good omens vs spn fandom war happening on my dash rn. pleaseeee all of you go touch grass. please go wallow in dirt and weeds and come back refreshed in a week, because the things i am reading with my own two eyes are Insane.
the disrespect you all are showing to ace/arospec people in these posts is absolutely astounding.
friendship and romance aren't cut and dry. they aren't opposites, nor are they exclusive. there are so many ways to have healthy romantic relationships-- not even to mention the myriad of queer-platonic combinations! just because *your* experience of romance (queer or otherwise) is centered around physicality doesn't mean it's like that for everyone else.
frankly, it's quite insulting to finally find an aro/ace safe space (like the good omens fandom has been for me and many others) and be bullied out because of... the author's tweets? a second season announcement?
a note for us hellers: we should know better by now than to expect perfection from authors. we shouldn't excuse homophobia, but... that's... not what's going on here.
good omens is a stunning tribute to the happy ending: love triumphs over evil, fate, capitalism, and a whole lot of really annoying paperwork.
art is for interpretation. that interpretation doesn't have to be queer.
the beauty of good omens is that it's a story for everyone. that's part of the reason the fandom's been active for over 30 years! it's an excellent queer allegory, for sure. but you're allowed to have other opinions. that's what fandoms are for.
i would argue that good omens is explicitly queer. i read crowley and aziraphale as queer-platonic life partners. and frankly, i find their relationship so much more fulfilling than many other canonically queer canons i've seen. they're treated with respect in canon. their love literally saves the world.
yeah, they don't kiss. but consider the large part of the lgbtqia community you're leaving out if you exclude arospec and acespec people from this discussion.
by saying good omens is a queerbait, you're saying aromantic and asexual people don't belong in the queer community.
idc how many times i have to say this, but good omens was and is not a queerbait. the future remains to be seen, of course, but i (personally) have faith in everyone involved and neil gaiman to do these characters and their world justice.
look to sherlock, merlin and supernatural if you want to watch queer-coded and canonically gay characters be exploited and killed for little more than a longing glance.
aromantic and asexual people have a hard enough time being embraced as it is. please think about the message you want to send before you post. thanks.
tl;dr y'all talk about wanting nuanced queer and arospec representation until you get it.
feyre: i cannot believe you didn't tell me we are still married. tamlin: look, i was going to tell you-- feyre: when?? after the birth of our secret child?? *ic enters* feyre: tamlin didn't get the annulment, we're still married rhys: what? mor: you're kidding! lucien: OH MY GOD. mor: tamlin! tamlin: okay maybe it wasn't the best decision, but i just couldn't face another failed marriage. rhys: okay, let me just jump in and ask: at what point did you think this was a SUCCESSFUL marriage? tamlin: feyre, come on, if you think about it, it's actually kinda funny... *no one laughs* tamlin: okay maybe it's best not to think about it. lucien: okay this is UNACCEPTABLE. i am shocked to my very core! tamlin: lucien, i already told her you knew. lucien: ANOTHER lie! you have a sickness! rhys: tam, just for my own peace of mind... you're not married to anymore of us, are ya?

inej: we’re a family. families talk about things.
jesper: no. families ignore things until they go away.
jesper: occupation? racist. matthias: actually i was a drüsk- matthias: racist is fine.
shaking screaming clawing at my skin over good omens tomorrow, heartstopper next thursday, and rwrb in two weeks
heartstopper is such a literal name. my pulse fucking dropped every time nick and charlie even looked at each other. i damn near stroked out when they kissed for the first time.
this aged so poorly lmfao
i want the fourth episode so bad. why would tom hiddleston make me so suspicious of the end? king really made me so nervous for what.
