I think it genuinely cannot be overstated how important that kiss in season 2 of Good Omens was.
From a plot standpoint, that kiss showed Crowley's desperate attempts to keep Aziraphale, to reel him in and back to the Us that they had built upon.
But from just a show standpoint, they. fucking. kissed.
Obviously their love transcends physicality, and Neil has said that Good Omens is a love story even before season 2, but the outright confirmation of a widely popular queer ship ON SCREEN is just so... Unheard of.
Every fandom or show has their trademark gay couple that aren't-really-gay-but-also-kind-of-are-gay: Merlin and Arthur, Sherlock and John (very heavy offender), Dean and Castiel (okay this one was canon, but we all know what happened IMMEDIATELY afterwards), and I suppose at some point Ineffable Husbands had just been included in the same category as the rest of them.
And to have it be moved from mostly fandom and fan work fuelled to outright canon - like 'they fucking kissed on screen' canon - is just so fucking fantastic.
It's not vague, it's not lines that are blurred for the sake of being on the fence of appealing to two audiences at once, and it's not only canon because the creator just said it's canon without rhyme or reason purely for the sake of appealing to a queer audience (looking at you, Ms J. K. Rowling) - it's undeniable, blatant evidence that Crowley and Aziraphale are in love.
And yes, at the moment it's devastating, but it's also devastatingly real. And that's so important.
Especially with the release of Our Flag Means Death, I really do hope we are entering a new era in mainstream media where queer ships finally aren't treated as some sort of mysterious prize that the writers dangle in front of you like a carrot on a stick, and are just simply treated like any other ship out there.
Because if so, then queer kids will be growing up to these shows, see this new era of unabashedly queer media, and won't have to hide away their ships like some dirty little secret. They won't have to wonder if their representation is even representation. They won't have to get excited over being able to see the small chance of themselves represented in a character only to be let down so incredibly badly, because queerness is good only when it's marketable.
So sure, ending season 2 like that is fucking crazy, but you know what's crazier? Whatever the fuck Neil just did with that kiss.

OFMD 2 spoilers ‼️
the way izzy keeps trying to desperately get some sort of reaction out of stede every time they’re in the same room together, with either mentioning that he’s the one who stabbed the painting on the revenge or trying to thank stede for rescuing them, and yet stede ignores him, doesn’t give him the time of day—because izzy doesn’t deserve it. he doesn’t deserve anything from stede, not his forgiveness and not even his anger.
i just think that, regardless of whether or not izzy is going through a redemption arc, it’s so important that stede is reacting to him the way he is (in that, he isn’t reacting at all). because for stede, izzy went above and beyond to ruin his life, to ruin his relationship with edward, and to ruin his crew. and even if izzy feels bad about that and wants to make amends, the fact that stede is STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF by ignoring izzy is so important for stede’s character.
and maybe by the end of it all, stede and izzy WILL be some what tentative allies, or even friends, but for now stede won’t even acknowledge him and that in and of itself is stede advocating for himself. and that’s really important.
i just think it’s great.

i love that the terrans get their Dad 2s through shared interests and bonding activities
meanwhile Hashtag took one look at Starscream and decided he's her Dad 2 now, even if he kicks and screams the entire time about it, and that he needs a hug. and it worked.

this team asano year of the rabbit official art fucking kills me cause it’s like. You got Agnès, an absolute sweetheart and iconic of her series. You got Ochette, also very cute and representing Octopath Traveler II which was coming out in a little over a month when this art dropped. And he’s in the background but Decimal is also an absolute friend. But then you have Benedict “Warcrimes” Pascal and Oersted, who is Massive Live A Live Spoilers But IYKYK. And I just find it SO funny that you have cute mascot-like characters but also some sort of Evil Gang wearing the bunny ears??
