I'm still reeling from Good Omens 2 — and I'm not talking about the cliffhanger.
No, I'm talking about the plot.
The whole "something terrible is going to happen" thing with Gabriel in the beginning made it seem like this season was going to go like season 1 did — Armageddon, take 2.
And then when the season ended I was so distracted by the cliffhanger that it never really processed for me that this entire season was... Well.
Whereas season 1 was about stopping the Apocalypse, season 2 was entirely about romance, and only romance.
From what I can recall, there were three main storylines driving the plot in season 2:
1.) Maggie and Nina's love story.
2.) Gabriel and Beelzebub's love story.
3.) Crowley and Aziraphale's love story.
Even if it didn't seem that way at first, it was revealed in the end that everything that had happened had to do with someone's romance.
Naked amnesiac Gabriel showing up at the bookstore? That only happened because he fell in love with Beelzebub and got himself fired, only to run away before they could steal his memories of falling in love with them.
This whole season was about trying to find out what happened to Gabriel (love, love is what happened), trying to get Nina to fall in love with Maggie, and Crowley coming to terms with the fact that he is in love with Aziraphale, and then eventually working up the courage to act on that love.
And that's not even mentioning the minisodes which were basically telling us the story of how Crowley and Aziraphale fell in love!
This entire season was centered around romance, and only romance!
Season 2 of Good Omens was literally a Love Story — I can't believe it, can you?!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much, Mr. Neil Gaiman!
Never before would I have guessed that season 2 would end up like this... I know we're all sad about how things left off with Crowley and Aziraphale, but there's not nearly enough appreciation going around for how we were even able to get to that point in the first place!
Everyone say,
And let's not forget David Tennant (Crowley) and Michael Sheen (Aziraphale) who played these hopelessly in love idiots so well!
Interesting how everyone talks about how the Rise crew intended to make Leo grow into the leadership role but nobody mentions how Raph as the leader grew on them and they genuinely wanted to keep it that way but Nick forced them to make Leo the leader anyways 🤔
Here’s the comment, the blogger wishes to remain anonymous due to prior harassment:
Like, the fact that they liked Raph being in charge this much speaks volumes about how they truly thought he was a good leader - like, why would they want to keep him as leader unless he was actually good at it, which he was? And this doesn’t even go into how they gave him a wonderful character arc in Anatawa Hitorijanai that tied to him being a leader, which just goes to show how much they adore him in such a role.
Anyways, this gives me all the validation for Raph still being in charge and him co-leading with Leo, plus the movie kept things intentionally ambiguous (I like to think that the Rise writers fought for Raph to remain in charge because they really love him that much considering there was a planned and explicit change of leadership in the movie’s deleted final scene which the Rise crew likely went ‘no <3′ to just like Nick did to them lol).
As always, fuck Nickelodeon for not letting the writers have creative freedom and for being total scumbags.
During an intense art block I took a stab at a couple of canon characters from crk!
this is truly the funniest timeline
What if there was a crp dating sim, but you don't get to date any of them and the plot gets messed up really fast?
i hope everyone with acne, eczema, vitiligo, psoriasis, dermatitis, and skin conditions have a good day today
it’s not fucking tinnitus idiot that’s my guardian angel speaking to me
some things aren't even headcanons they're just divine visions and u have no choice but to accept them
the musical is weird!! so. fucking. weird. but, instead of dwelling on that and criticizing it, everyone...embraces it. space age bachelor man is beloved. no one hates on this song is awesome's autotune. the quotes are repeated over and over. we all love it despite its weirdness!! and thats a good thing!!
instead of being quick to villainize ocean's every move like fandoms tend to do with female characters who have even a hint of flaw, ocean's an understood character by this fandom! of course, some of what she said is inexcusable (stop trying to excuse some of the things she said abt ricky omg wtf), but we can understand why she acts like she does!! that's very important in a fandom!!
no one messes with noel ok. no one babies him. he is gay. he is a poet. he is emo. and no one tries to femboy him up and make him too soft for his own good. everyone treats him seriously. fandoms could learn from that with their queer characters.
best of all? we haven't gone toxic yet. everyone respects each other's opinion. oh, you think talia doesnt actually exist? hm, ok! oh, you think noel is transfem? awesome! i think he's trans, too! you ship ocean and constance? that's adorable! you believe jane has autism? that's really cool!! etc etc. nothing has gone sour at all. no arguments or drama. we all love this gay little dead kid musical. by being so accepting, we are opening the doors and helping manifest the better tumblr fandoms of tomorrow. keep doing what you do, guys! <3
i'll add more if i think of any.
