something something percy taking annabeth’s place because his loyalty overpowers anything else even death and he can’t let another person he cares for die for a choice he made/who he is, blah blah blah annabeth wanting to spend her final moments embodying her flawed but chosen family ideals, using luke’s knife and training to fight a battle she can’t win to save her friends like thalia to earn back the love of her mother, yadda yadda yadda PERCY REFUSING TO LET ANNABETH FALL ALONE……

maxwell and fran: *being idiots in love*
niles: *using the most thinly veiled, obvious, dumbass-proof metaphor man could possibly think of in a fruitless effort to try to make these two realize they're soulmates*
maxwell and fran: what the hell are you talking about?
niles: i quit.

i’m stuck. i’m in writer’s block, except in my entire life and i don’t know what direction is up.
what is that lyric- how can a person know everything at 18 but nothing at 22?
maybe i’ll pick up fanfiction again and see if it helps.

good omens started out as something deeply collaborative between you and the wonderful Terry Pratchett. You’ve said before that writing the love between Aziraphale and Crowley was, in part, because “they needed more of a plot than they had in the book”.
What do you think Terry would have thought about their relationship now?
(thank you for creating something that has comforted, inspired and emotionally destroyed me)
Given the conversations we had in 2006 about the sequel, I think he would have been very happy.

I’ve seen someone else mention this, but I also wanted to talk about this
The erasure of queerness in the movie is something I definitely did not expect.
Sure, it’s a love story between two men, but grab Alex and Henry and make them a man and a woman, the movie doesn’t change much. Maybe monarchy instead of being homophobic and racist now it’s only racist, and they hate Alex not because he’s a man but because he’s brown. They kept it a secret because of monarchy’s racism, but love triumphs at the end. That’s why the movie didn’t hit as hard as the book. The movie is just some forbidden love movie, rwrb is a book where the main characters are in a forbidden relationship, but it’s not the whole point of the book.
Alex discovering his sexuality, Nora being bisexual, whatever Pez had going on, whatever June and Nora had going on, Alex learning about queer history, the historical lgbt love letters at the ends of their e-mails, all the references to queer history and literature, THE SHELTERS, monarchy’s homophobia (yes, it appears on the movie but it’s really glossed over. It doesn’t show just how homophobic they actually are in the book), Alex stating how he knows more about himself the more intimate (both in the sexual and non sexual sense) he is with Henry, Luna being gay and unapologetic about it and being exactly Alex’s queer role model, even before Alex knew he was queer himself, THE FUCKING SHELTERS
I’m so so mad about the shelters being missing.
Henry and Pez made shelters for lgbt youth, so they can never feel as alone as Henry once felt, so they can always have a safe space so they know there’s nothing wrong with them no matter what the adults in their life might say, no matter what the preacher or their classmates or the right wing politicians in their tv might say, where they can find hope, and friends, and a home if they never had one before, or at least, one where they could truly be themselves. The shelters are, I would say, crucial to Henry’s character development. He went from hiding, believing being gay was “the most unforgivable part of him”, not even trying to come out because he just succumbed to live an unhappy life in the closet, to someone who’s out, living with his boyfriend and running lgbt shelters with his best friend so young queer people can move past all the things he felt and believed time ago, so they know they are perfectly normal and loved and safe in there, as long as Henry and Pez are there they’re safe, they don’t have to hide anymore.
Henry became the queer elder he needed in his life when he was younger. The lgbt adult who could tell him than it would get better, no matter how bad it was at the moment, no matter if he couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, because it was there, he just had to hold on a bit more. Than there was absolutely nothing wrong with him.
Another thing than I seen changed than a normal person might not notice, but I did, because im obsessed, is the karaoke scene.
In the book, it takes place in something resembling a gay bar (maybe not exactly, but it’s full of queer people), and look at this
Three rounds of shots appear —one from a drunk bachelorette party, one from a herd of surly butch chicks at the bar, and one from a table of drag queens. They raise a toast, and Alex feels more welcomed than he ever has before, even at his family’s victory rallies.
Look again
and Alex feels more welcomed than he ever has before, even at his family’s victory rallies.
This book is about about finding community, finding yourself, finding love and letting yourself accept that love.
Do you think Alex in the movie has felt “more welcomed than he ever has before, even at his family’s victory rallies” at any point? Has he been with another queer person in the whole movie, except Henry, at all?? Because Nora’ sexuality was not mentioned at all no references nothing and with the whole Pez thing everyone could see Nora as just straight
Henry and Alex in the movie are kind of without community, alienated from it, they are, in my personal opinion, the kind of gay people republicans would consider “good gay people” who “don’t shove it on everyone’s faces and just wanna be left alone” (in the rwrb universe where they exist and are real not actual republican people watching the movie). They don’t really take a role on the community, in the book, Alex and Henry being queer is an important part of themselves, again, Alex feeling like he knows himself better, Henry whole internalized homophobia, their shared interest for lgbt history and literature, Henry and Pez making the shelters, etc etc meanwhile in the movie Alex and Henry just happen to be gay and bisexual, but it’s no deeper than that.
And don’t get me started on creating Miguel, a queer character, and making him the one to leak the e-mails or smth instead of a republican candidate

Incomplete list of things I liked in the RW&RB movie:
Zahra (she does not get paid enough to deal with this shit)
Amy (she does not get enough screen time)
Uma as Ellen (what a BAMF)
The boys' chemistry
Tasteful sex scenes
Most of the dialogue (but then nothing ever happens to you)
Taylor's facial expressions
Nicholas' facial expressions
The Unseriousness of those two nerds
Museum scene
The thing where they appear on screen when narrating texts
Nora
Bea
Pezz
Shaam
"speaking of boyfriends on in strings"
The prime minister
The way my favourite book got done justice
Stephen Fry's pronunciation of homosexual
What makes me sure this should've been a tv series:
June
The Cornettos
Catherine
"I will take you off the throne before I will let them feel the things you made me feel."
The Cornettos
Leo
The storyline where Alex discovers he's bisexual in his 20s
Amy's lack of screen time
Nora's lack of screentime
Shaam's lack of screentime
Pezz's lack of lines???
Bea's storyline
Rafael
Any and all interesting plot lines besides the main romance plot?? They didn't even find out Richards was behind the hack for god's sake
Bea/Nora/June throuple
Bea/Nora/June/Pezz quadrouple
The way my favourite book got slaughtered
THE CORNETTOS

The RWRB movie may not have been the best adaptation of the book, but if you seperate the book from the movie it's still a good movie on it's own and I stand by that
