crowley & love in good omens 2

⚠️ SPOILERS BELOW FOR GOOD OMENS SEASON 2 ⚠️

so we already know that Crowley has seemingly gotten his ideas of how love with humans "works" from rom-coms, with his "sudden downpour" and "they realize they were meant for each other," whereas Aziraphale references romance novels with the formal dancing and realizing they're "deeply in love."

we saw the "rain" both in season 1 AND 2 when Crowley and Aziraphale shelter under each other's wing in each opening scene. and they dance during the party in the bookstore.

BUT earlier in season 2, after the coffeeshop scene where A and C originally brainstorm how to make Maggie and Nina fall in love, Crowley mentions in the shop that once they have a "fabulous kiss" that'll work it all out.

so we have not one, but TWO scenes of sheltering in the rain, but it doesn't get them together. they dance, but they still don't get together. that leaves (in Crowley's mind, I think) one thing to finally convince people that they love each other: a kiss.

in his desperation for Aziraphale to not go to Heaven with Metatron, what does he do? he kisses him. it's his last-ditch attempt, his "if all else fails," but it still doesn't work. he's tried everything he knows and Aziraphale still leaves. and I think that hurts him just as much as A actually leaving, because maybe he thinks he really doesn't understand love at all.

I apologize for that. anyone have any thoughts on this painful headcanon? or am I way off here...

god I'm so fucking furious at the removal of Te Reo Māori names from organisations around Aotearoa. it's a complete non-issue, every organisation has the English name directly underneath the Māori name. I have never once as an English speaker been unable to understand what an organisation is for. Winston Peters, the Deputy Prime Minister, who is literally Māori himself, said “Te Papa is a historic name but tell me this waka kotahi, how many boats have you seen going down the road?”. Waka does not just mean canoe. it means vessel, and waka kotahi (the transport agency of Aotearoa) explains this VERY SIMPLY on their official website. waka kotahi means to travel together as one. Can you see how fucking upsetting this is. A Māori person in power who is in agreement about banning his own language, being so cocky about something that he does not even understand due to the suppression of the language of his people. It makes me sick. I've seen reports from Māori people all over Aotearoa speaking out about how upset and furious they are, how decades of progress have been undone in the fight to restore the rights of their people who have for so long been oppressed and have suffered the effects of colonisation. Please share this if you can, I hate knowing how few people will hear about this, I know there is so much injustice in the world right now and it is so exhausting, I know. I love you all, keep it up.

I know the US government acts like a corporation but it’s not.

Not voting isn’t the same as a boycott. Because you can’t bankrupt a government by not voting. All you get by not voting is less control over what the money is doing.

The money comes from taxes, not voting. Abstaining from voting does nothing to reduce the governments ability to get money and spend it on shit.

So yes, sometimes you vote to reduce harm because not voting WILL NOT REDUCE HARM.

It’s not a boycot. Abstaining doesn’t take power from the government. It just reduces the number of people they feel answerable to.
