disney: here’s your representation. loki is going to be going to be genderfluid in the show just like in the comics!
the “representation”: a tiny word on a paper that doesn’t even appear in the show and uses the incorrect terminology

It's homophobic that on the first day of pride I'm getting into bed to sleep and not to get fucked into the mattress within an inch of my life by butch strap 😔

Good Omens s2 thoughts!
I was expecting it to be really fanservicey based on the reviews going woooo it's so fanservicey! But ... it only felt fanservicey in that the fans really wanted to see Aziraphale and Crowley interact more, and so we got more episodes and they're the main feature.
Crowley's angelic hair killed me, what on EARTH was that.
Muriel's so cute, oh my god, they're so cute I love them so much they should have been in so much more of the show.
Is it just me or is the sound mixing/leveling really bad? I feel like I missed a lot of lines all over the place.
MAGGIE AND NINA! They work as A/C parallels both ways, don't they? Like, obviously Maggie is the Sunshiney One and Nina is the Grumpy One, but Maggie's also the one who stands up to the demons, and Nina's abusive relationship isn't far from Aziraphale's with Heaven.
I did think that setting the magic show stuff right after the Blitz shenanigans undercut the Blitz shenanigans. Also felt like Elspeth accepted her gf's death and the selling of her body pretty fast. need to rewatch that one.
But I loved that Crowley addressed the fact that Gabriel told Aziraphale to shut up and die - you want to talk fanservice, that's fanservice.
LOVED THE BALL! The seamstress conversation ... (There was also "C.M.O.T. Dibbler" on the laudanum bottle in The Resurrection Men.)
More actual fanservice: Gabriel and Beelzebub alliance/romance. I do find it kind of funny that "Everyday" is their song ... I was imagining Aziraphale trying to take steps toward liking modern music for Crowley by listening to dorky 1950s pop (/affectionate).
VERY obvious A/C parallel though, yikes, like it treads over the line from "cute" to "gratuitous". But it could just be that I never got into Gabriel/Beelzebub during the interim. But like ... there's a LOT of character development necessary to make me believe that someone as shitty as s1 Gabriel could fall in love with anyone at all let alone an opponent, and we didn't really get any of it.
It's also a bit weird to follow the acceptance of this frankly bizarre relationship with Maggie and Nina, who make a lot more sense and have more of an arc together, giving the "you can't just push us together, we need time" speech?
Whyyyyy would Aziraphale still be on the "Heaven is good" train after like the entire point of the first season being that he learns that choosing to be their own side >>>>>> working for Heaven?
(I have already come around on this jsyk. I absolutely buy that his takeaway from Notmageddon was that God meant for him and Crowley and Adam et al. to stop it, and that the real problem was that Michael, Gabriel et al. wanted it for their own messy reasons.)
Oh man, Crowley hates trying to express how he feels and I love it.

So on the one hand I'm like, "Good, an angsty ending, nothing like that to light a fire under a fandom and get them writing the most passionate fix-it fic"
On the other, what an INCREDIBLE bait-and-switch, showing us the kiss in the "queer liplock sizzle reel" and then having it be entirely one-sided and Aziraphale freaked out afterward. I am living. This is studio malfeasance at its finest and I am frankly delighted to have been fucked with.
Also lmao Metatron replacing Gabriel as the abusive boyfriend in all the AUs when?

That is very tragic. Oh well, that is an a okay unrelated topic! She is a goddess in her own sense.
I am from Pangea.
Which one of the 3? Also how would you know the others were good if you haven’t seen them? Those are good choices on your end as well. I have seen all of them lol
Song lyrics definitely count, I like both of those!
Oh that is cute.
Okay, I’m resorting to begging. Give me something. Just one thing. Pretty please?
I’ve only seen The Proposal, but the others still sound good. It’s cute that I have a tattoo for a movie that was queer baiting at its finest?
Do you have a favorite quote?

Grace and Frankie S5
I promised myself that I wouldn’t get excited about this show again... and then I saw little snippets that gave me hope.
And isn’t just that the worst?! I keep hoping that this is Grace’s journey to discovering herself and not making the same mistakes. To be truly happy. Ending of this season broke my heart.
I really hope the writers aren’t fucking with us. Even if Grace and Frankie don’t end up together... there’s no freaking way Grace doesn’t come out. I refuse to believe it.

Me when I don’t see Lena Luthor in frame for more than 2 minutes in an episode: 
I’m done with this show.
Me an episode later: 
Damn. Supercorp? On screen? Also Katie McGrath? This show! A work of art. Absolute perfection in every way. How could I have ever doubted you. When I die I’ll have this episode number tattooed onto my left ass cheek to commemorate the one true thing I lived for.
