prefacing that this is more rant than analysis and also i’m asexual. so my opinions on the whole sex thing are maybe not the same as my allo counterparts. (not in anyway ever trying to say sex is bad or dirty. sex is a beautiful thing and can be an amazing way to express love, and it’s 1000% natural. nothing wrong with it. i’m just personally not into it. ok? we good? now: the actual post.)

as much as i love the idea of crowley and aziraphale both being ace, the evidence of canon definitely seems more like crowley is ace and aziraphale is. well aziraphale is something to unpack on a different day.

and i personally find the idea that they both need to be filled with unquenchable lust exhausting. i can understand the desire for them to have sex and all that stuff in theory, but for me personally it’s just not it. and look. writing smutty fic and saying they’re definitely gonna fuck in canon are two very different things. smutty fic is fine, it’s not my thing but you do you.

but them having sex in canon:

1) doesn’t really make sense with the story in my opinion

2) definitely doesn’t make sense with where they’re at emotionally (especially crowley. he’s thrown off by a hand to the chest let alone full on sex). sure maybe they’ll get there in s3, but the idea of THAT much emotional healing happening in 6 episodes seems unlikely to me.

3) what i think too many people forget is that good omens does not and has never needed such displays of physical intimacy to show love. yeah yeah “anathema and newt has sex so it’s not like it can’t happen in the show.” THAT SEX SCENE WAS NOT TO SHOW THEY WERE IN LOVE THEY BARELY KNEW EACH OTHER. the anathema x newt sex scene was 100% played for comedy. beelzebub and gabriel are far more in love than anathema and newt realistically were and their biggest show of love was singing Their Song together. crowley and aziraphale are so insanely in love and their biggest show of love was, i think, them swapping places to save the other from permanent destruction. it wasn’t the kiss.

and look! we’re back to me harping on how that kiss was not the pinnacle of “see! they’re in love!!!” that kiss was a lot of things but if it took that kiss for you to see the love that was so obviously there, you’ve lost the plot. (side bar: i know that i’m one to talk with my whole viewing them as platonic thing. but i want to make it clear that the kiss itself was not the turning point. it was the culmination of everything that happened in ep6 and also i always knew they were in love, but i digress)

personally i don’t want a sex scene in canon. i want physical affection, OBVIOUSLY. just more in the vein of hand holding and cuddles and gentle kisses. i want tenderness and domesticity.

but as always, that’s just me.

#idk dude i think i have more thoughts on this but i just can’t articulate them #like i know there’s things to be said but everytime i try it comes off terribly and makes it seem like i think sex is dirty and gross #WHICH IS NOT TRUE #ugh thoughts are hard #this post is messy at best but i’m throwing it out there anyway #good omens #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #crowley #aziraphale #good omens 2 #good omens meta

Why is it that whenever someone posts a story like 'hey guys, new account here,' I'm always stuck wondering, 'Should I follow?' (even if they say to, it's just on their story, not a personal invite :3) like 'What if they find it annoying?' 'Can I even hit them up with a follow request?' 'Do I seem creepy?' 'Am I even in their circle?' 'What if I'm not their vibe?'

#and then I regret opening that story because what if they were hoping for me to follow #but I didn't #and it might come across as mean #leaving them to think I'm not interested in connecting with them?#which is not true #arghhhh

I need a better place for rambling, I feel like I'm annoying the few people that read me on this site lmao but ahg

#It's comfy and it's easier than admitting the reason why I don't vent privately to each specific friend #i.e. they have too many problems already or #they will lead the conversation in a direction I dont like or #they'll make it worse and I'll have to act like they're helping because I don't want to hurt them or #they won't get it and I'll be left feeling like a whiny bitch #but I also worry that venting publicly i'm indirectly telling my friends I don't appreciate their help #which is not true #i just #augh #i need a break

anon !!! this is hours later than i meant for it to be, but here's my rambling essay-length response to your ask from earlier !!!!!!!! fair warning, i am just... so stupid and don't know how to properly get my thoughts across so it's a whole Mess 😬

your last text post is so real!! i really don't get the main character death obssesion either. it's honestly funny in a way because st is pretty much the only show that doesn't kill protagonists, and if they do they're brought back, yet there's more main character death talk in this fandom than anyone can take. it's like people just can't accept the duffers ain't about that life??!

first, i want to clarify that, to me, the main characters have always been joyce, hopper, nancy, jonathan, steve, mike, el, lucas, will, and dustin, with the addition of max in s2 and robin in s3. this is the main group that we follow, these are our protagonists, and everyone else is just secondary, regardless of whether the actor appears in the main credits or not

now, my post was definitely more aimed at all the talk i've seen about how there has to be a main character death before the show is over. people acting like it’s a given. i personally just really really don't want any of them to die and hate thinking about the possibility lmao

we don’t know how it’s going to end, or what the final season will be like, how dire things will be. they could absolutely switch gears and start killing mains left and right. i feel like waiting until the final season is exactly what so many other shows do anyway, right? so i get the concern, and it makes me a little wary, too. but that’s exactly it – so many other shows do it. it's weird, it’s tired, it’s unnecessary. and, really, the duffers are out here right now saying how much they regret killing chrissy off and she was only in the one episode. so like... imagine them actually trying to kill off one of the mains

they can’t please everyone, but i do think ultimately they’ll want to try to do right by as many fans of the show as possible, you know? the wrong kind of ending can ruin a show forever. people love these characters and at the end of it all, i think most of us just want to see them thriving

(and it’s not like will or el or hopper (or brenner) were ever actually dead. they just made the other characters believe they were, and each time there’s been pretty immediate hints that they weren’t gone for good -- the whole situation with will’s body + him talking to joyce through the lights, hopper leaving the eggos for el, no body for hopper + ‘the american’ in the russian prison, no body for brenner – and this show doesn’t shy away from showing bodies. when a character is dead, they want us to know it and feel it)

even the cast, millie and noah talking about how it's so big someone *has* to die, right? THEY LITERALLY DON'T. yes, it's a big battle and there should be losses but there is no reason for that to be main characters. like you said, is that unrealistic (and maybe a little ridiculous)?? well, yeah, but so is the show. realism has never been a priority in st. the show is literally a sappy sci-fi horror. and not killing protagonists is part of their formula, just like separating everyone into groups and then bringing them together in the finale is

i think millie and noah were just joking when they said to start killing everyone, even their own characters, off. like, yeah, the cast is pretty big right now and a ton of characters were added for this season specifically, but they’ve all had their own roles to play and barely exist outside of those parts. chrissy, fred, patrick, they were all brought on just to be killed off – probably the same to be said for more new characters by the end of this season. and i think millie even said something about the duffers being afraid of or even just refusing to kill main characters. but why is killing main characters such a normal thing now? why do we have to expect for characters we love to die horribly for like... no reason?

i've said it before, but this show absolutely is unrealistic and ridiculous AND cheesy. but it’s rooted in inspiration and references to 80s media, which is also something that i tend to think of as unrealistic and ridiculous and cheesy, so i mean it in the best way possible. it does its job. it's sappy and nostalgic, has an intense focus on love and family and friendship, while also playing on like... every major genre and trope from the era that they can fit into however many episodes and however many hours. i think some people take pieces of it way more seriously than the creators ever intended. they want it to be good, obviously, but also they’re huge nerds and they just want to have fun with it

i'm absolutely worried about some of the more side characters this season, and i know losing any of them is going to hurt, too. they're very good at making you care about a secondary character only to rip them away from you. but if this was just any other show, we would’ve probably already seriously lost a main character or two

i've seen people actually criticize this a lot because "it takes away from scenes like the end of dear billy because i know max won't die" and i guess that's valid criticism in some ways but i think people forget that that's literally just NOT the point of that scene. like, if they wanted you to be afraid max would actually like die, you would be. they've had every chance to kill main characters before. they could have killed nancy at the end of ep7 but they didn't. they're not even TRYING to get people scared for her, actually. that's why she's in the teaser and a bunch of bts and why they're not being suspenseful about her fate at all. st doesn't kill main characters. because they. don't. want. to. and they don't want people to be scared of that either, otherwise they'd be a lot more hush hush about stuff. this is something that has been true since s01.

again, why does it even matter? if you know that she isn’t going to die? death isn’t the only possible ending, and it’s not the only consequence, and she’s still very much in danger. there are still so many things that can happen, things that can go wrong, without having to make things so Final. i'm sorry if it starts feeling repetitive that main characters Aren’t being killed off ? but again, why are we just so accepting that that’s a normal response lol

people around these characters have been dying since s1. like directly or indirectly, because of their involvement with the main characters, because of something the main characters have done. that's messed up enough ! we should be worried about everyone who isn’t listed above that’s ever interacted with one of the mains before even thinking to worry about them. it's a part of that endless suffering i mentioned. guilt, trauma, angst, suffering, only to die in the end anyway... it's just miserable

they "kill" el and immediately add a scene of hopper taking eggos to the woods. they "kill" hopper and immediately add "the american". st makes fans suffer by putting their main characters through hell, but they don't kill them. that's actually something i love about the show. and some people may find that ridiculous or an error (and yeah, dead loved ones coming back again and again is anything but realistic) but it's very much intentional and has been since day 1 and changing that at the last second would be a huge mistake. one i don't think they'd ever make. (and that's not even talking about how death would ruin most character arcs and make their whole story pointless). anyway, i'm with you with hating the death obssesion around here!! they're so not going there, though, i'm fairly certain we're right 💙

again, we're talking about the people who have said they immediately regretted killing characters who've only appeared in one episode. people who said they would leave the show if certain characters were killed off. people who write lines like: "she saves your life because of friendship", which, yes, was said incredulously, but should actually be considered a blueprint of the show. one memory of her mother saying she loved her was enough for el to beat henry in that first fight. it's a show literally about underdogs persevering against all odds ("chances of success..." "never tell me the odds")

and just...

killing certain characters would make other seasons of the show completely pointless, others would cause major major major backlash, others have already 'died' AND done the 'sacrifice themselves for everyone else' thing so doing it again but actually dying this time would be stupid, others would completely kill the nostalgia/rewatchability factor, and some would just be cruel. this covers the entire major cast

this is just my thought process on it anyway haha. like, they still could definitely kill someone, but i just think it’d be a bad idea. there's many more interesting and less final ways to go about it idk

#if you read this i am SO sorry #it's also well past midnight and i woke up way earlier than i meant to this morning so like #i don't entirely... know what all i'm saying here and if it makes sense #probably just me talking in circles #about how much i don't want a main character death in this show dksjsakd #i know i didn't mention erica but like... she's barely main cast and i wouldn't consider her a major character rn #but i do think she's safe too #i've watched too many shows and loved too many characters and seen too many mcds #most of the time they're just lazy and stupid and completely avoidable #other times they're literally only done to further pain and trauma #which we have Plenty of in this show without even having to (really) do that #so there's just... no point in doing it other than people thinking they absolutely have to #which is not true #lex talks #st4 spoilers #spoilers #long post #i hope these tags and the read more work

I get trying to be a good and nice teacher and district policy and whatnot but I’m just saying if your students don’t do the work, fail them.

#chatterye #my prof said that the final would replace a lower exam grade if you had one #and obviously that means it would double count and not be like a dropped exam grade #but people took it as we can fail the final and it’ll drop #which is NOT true #but she’s nice so she dropped it because so many people didn’t try at ALL #I would’ve fucking failed all of them deadass #it’s in our syllabus that the final has more weight than an exam you can’t just expect it to go away like that #I did not work this hard to skip our final for them to get a free pass like this #and I just saw a hs teacher talk about how her students didn’t do the final because they didn’t want to #because they know she won’t fail them which is crazy because it’s true #being a nice teacher is great and all but have some self respect and don’t let yourself be absolutely disrespected by your students???#actions have consequences FAIL THEM

that last post got me heated cause there's something fucking evil about how many think gynecologist visits arent needed unless there's an active sex life

#its just so angering to me cause ive seen and known many girls whose parents told them they had no need to go unless they were having sex #WHICH IS NOT TRUE #i was lucky to be diagnosed with pcos at 12 cause my parents believed in constant checkups #it still took me years and surgery to get my condition under control #but i knew so many girls in who'd complain about painful and irregular cycles and their parents refused to take them for checkups #EVIL ITS PURE EVIL

Me, after forgetting to cut the top off an onion before dicing it: “Aw dammit”

The Gordon Ramsey that lives in my head: “Don’t worry there, this mistake isn’t going to ruin anything. No need to be too hard on yourself”

Me: “Wow, that’s…not what I was expecting”

Gordon: “Of course, you ought to know by now that I don’t shout at cooks just to do so. I do it because the people in hit television show Kitchen Nightmares are putting their services out into the public and claim to be good enough to have the title of head chef. You’re just some guy in your twenties making beef stroganoff for yourself and your roommate. I’m kind of a dick, yeah, but I’m not gonna scream at you for a minor mistake like this”

Me: “Oh….well…thanks”

Gordon: “You’re welcome…cunt…”

#based on a true story #im cooking more which is super cool

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?
