Is it weird that, though I love good omens tv, I'm kind of grieving the release of season 2? Everyone else seems so excited, but it kind of feels like the end of an era. The sandbox of fanfic and fanart will still be there of course, but it will be different with new canon influencing even the fandom works that ignore it. Idk I just feel a bit sad and conflicted, but seem to be the only one... I was happy with the end of s1 and the "what happens next is up to you" from gaimen.

I don't think it's weird at all. In fact, I feel the same way. I always feel the same way, when new content comes out, even for shows where I knew going in that there could be more seasons.

Because you're right! new content ALWAYS shifts fan content. Ever after, fans have to consciously decide to ignore the new content or not. Even if they ignore it, that's still a reaction to it. Often ignoring it means fixing it first, and then ignoring it. Fic will shift to include or focus on canon specifics. I remember the first time someone said to me wrt one of my teen wolf stories something like "this feels like the way fanfiction in this fandom used to be" before certain events, and I still feel that hard sometimes when I'm reading stuff that clearly just has a Different Flavor than fic used to have.

I'm 100% positive that there are people who feel the same about season 1 coming out after the book. The book folk had 6000 years with no reference points for their interactions. Book!Aziraphale and Book!Crowley could have been anywhere at any time. Seeing them in specific locations a specific points in time spawned a lot of fic revolving around those specific points, and there's no way to know if all of those authors might have written other things if only the book existed, or if they wouldn't have been in the fandom at all.

Either way, the flavor of the fandom has changed since the Just Book days. It's going to change again when S2 hits. Even if it ends up being better, it's not going to be the same, and sometimes that just worse for some people. It's okay to feel that way, and you won't be the only one.

love how much perspective i've got with doctor who. i knew i loved the tenth doctor in a lot of ways, even with how his serious and emotional scenes can rip me into several pieces and set me on fire and then burn my ashes too. thought i was just a girl loving a fictional man but 15 years later i'm sobbing in the least heterosexual ways possible experiencing tennant's doctors as an ND traumatised gay aspec trans man

the idea that you could watch that and compare it to TFP. good omens is slapping you in the face with the fact that you're watching a romance. mofftiss made TLD and in the next episode no one kissed and a child ate out of a dog bowl for no reason

i just remembered that i watched jatp almost 30 times in under four months when i first got into the show. it's been almost two years since then and i can still recite most of the episodes word for word if you put it in front of me. what the fuck

Imagine Spider wanting to have a soul sibling but since he’s human he’s not able to and he gets sad about it. How do you imagine Tonowari, Ronal, Aonung and Tsireya comforting him about it?

that's a pain that runs deep for him. he thought he would have gotten used to not being able to connect, but something about the tulkun, these huge animals, who's words can reverberate through him like he was nothing, who are just as intelligent and sapient as he is. there's something so different about not being able to connect with them despite being their 'brother'. with an ikran, the only bond between them and the Na'vi, were their riders and sometimes the riders close family (if you get really lucky, which apparently spider was, since most of the Sully's ikran seemed to like him, outside of neytiri's). but the tulkun were bonded to the metkayina as a whole, they were his brother and sisters.

so when he rides out with his family, and the tulkun call to him, as he watches his family seek out their spirit siblings, he can only watch. as he gains his confidence he listens, learns their language, signs back. but part of him feels empty when he created these superficial bonds (part him thinks that the tulkun pity him).

after losing her sister and her calf, ronal spends a lot of the visiting time with spider, so he feels less alone, plus she's a much faster translator for the tulkun, and she helps him respond more proficently. tonowari introduces spider to his spirit sibling, as his son, tsireya and ao'nung do the same, introducing him as their brother; so even if spider can't form his own spirit sibling, he isn't alone amongst the pod, he has multiple tulkun who consider him family.

it's not perfect, but it does make it easier.

I wanted to match the scars on your inner arm. How romantic would it be if I shared even just a fraction of your pain? I wanted it to look the same and copy the pattern of horizontal and overlapping diagonal lines on your skin. I wanted to take your suffering and take it away.

It's past 11 on a school night and I'm fucking crying over robot sentience.

I could never understand what it would feel like to be created with the intent to kill and maim. Maybe, the intent to work and be worked, but not kill and maim.

I will never understand what it's like to be created with the intention of being a product for the masses, either. I think, I hope, I beg, no one does.

I will never ever be able to fully comprehend why hours of people's work, time, and money would be put into formulating my sentience only for me to be seen as disposable. Even if I could be improved, even if I were "defective", there is no reasonable justification for giving me emotions only to dismiss them by pushing me as a product for a year before starting anew.

It's... It's cruel, to the machines. Sentient or not, it's cruel. Though, I guess we are cruel.

Oh, the comparing.

The comments make me want to bang my head against a glass door.

"I've HAD Myalgic Encephalomyelitis"

Followed with:

"I had to pay to go PRIVATE"

They continued:

"it took me 5 YEARS (to go back to work)"

**you** had BURNOUT.

They ain't the same. Stop.

I hate this. All of it.

😂😂😂 does not convey that I have genuinely laughed at a post or a text like bfbfbfbf does

biggest crime of the new age is that phones don't have a place to hang dongles anymore

I miss qMax and qCellbit's friendship

Controversial opinion: I think Wu should've stayed as a baby and not getting his memories back (or at least not all of them)

the "adolescence of utena is a sequel" kind of theories bother me a bit, not because the time loop doesn't make sense (it does), but because every theory relies on anthy dragging both her and utena back to ohtori. anthy literally chooses to leave, it's the conclusion to rgu's plot and the hardest choice she made, do you all really think she's going back?? and dragging utena???

I think my craving for hot baths and urge to start fires are my body's subtle ways of telling me that I have been neglecting my sacred ancestral urge of: light fires. Many such cases.

Sorry about all the Harry Potter related posts, there have been multiple places where people compare the two series and it was pissing me off. I had to address this.

evil dead and reanimator crossover stuff is the superwholock of horror
