the balance of the promise of transgenderism and the practice of it in the good omens fandom is so inspiring like in any other community the talk is talked but the walk is not walked. the amount of people who use she/he/they pronouns for aziraphale and crowley casually and consistently is so wonderful like gaiman tells us they are genderless and in many worlds this is moreso a cop-out than an opportunity taken to tell a real story including gender identity but i have been feeling like i misjudged him and that i really appreciate them as nonbinary characters lately. i remember feeling pretty frustrated when go1 released in the same way i always have been when it comes to live-action tv where i could feel a having their cake and eating it too-ness with the way the relationship was portrayed and the fact that they took the direction to stick the landing in go2 and make it unambiguously romantic while also not compromising the plot at all or reducing gomens to something it isn’t is something i really respect. i really do! it’s made me want to spend more time interacting with it than many of the others things i historically have because i really respect the unambiguous nature of the gay and trans people in the story without it being like the only thing anybody is able to talk about you know
