“Season 2 episode 6 ruined me.”

“Oh yeah which show?”

“The gay one.”

“Can you be more specific?”

“With the middle aged men.”

“I’m gonna need you to help me out here.”

“One is the classic good guy and has white hair, the other is the dark brooding one with a secret soft side.”

“This isn’t narrowing it down.”

“There are major paranormal themes, yet the main couple exhibit extremely human character flaws?”

“…”

“There’s a lapel grab.”

“You’re fucking kidding me with this right?”

Omg hello 3000+ notes, I write GO meta

“YOU’RE STILL ON THE HORSE THING?!”

Enjoy your angst ^^

So, every time I see someone talk about this moment, it's about the fact that Aziraphale is reaching for Crowley. And don't get me wrong, I too am obsessed with this fact. But I'd like to present another view here, just to put it out there:

Crowley's.

Reaction!

The little lift of his head in surprise. Like, you know he knows that Aziraphale likes to do touchy shit like this, but Crowley can't ignore the fact that Aziraphale is reaching for him in THIS moment! This moment, as they watch an angel and a demon decide to run away together because they love each other, because they "found something more important than choosing sides."

I know the conversation with Maggie and Nina is the big thing to make Crowley realize he SHOULD shoot his shot with Azi, but I can't help but think that THIS moment has a big part to play in making him realize he HAS a shot with him. That Aziraphale is looking at this couple doing what Crowley has wanted to do with Aziraphale for ages...and immediately. reaching. For. Crowley! Because it looks so much like the angel is reaching for him because he himself is realizing that THIS is possible. That THEY are possible. And his reaction says this realization is filling Aziraphale with HOPE.

And Crowley notices that.

And it hits him hard enough to have an emotional reaction that even his sunglasses can't hide.

I can't with these two anymore. I just can't. For fuck's sake.

Watching “Melora” with Julian’s backstory in mind is pretty interesting. Now, we obviously can’t fault Julian for being “out of character” in this episode because, keep in mind, his backstory and status as an augment hadn’t even been thought up yet. Still, if we ignore that and look only at canon, Julian being seemingly gung-ho about “fixing” Melora’s disability is pretty noteworthy. Even if Melora was doing this willingly, Julian’s major trauma comes from his own disabilities being “cured” without his permission as a child. I’m not going to comment on whether or not the way disability was written in this episode was overall good or not. I feel like some was good, some was bad, but I don’t think I know enough to give my two cents on this topic.

The point is, I really do wonder how Julian feels during this episode. I definitely don’t think his reaction makes zero sense even with his backstory in mind, but how he can still feel so eager to “fix” this person’s disability (or at least pretend to be eager), is something to explore. I’m thinking a lot of internalized ableism at the very least. (The backstory he gives about seeing a girl die when he was 10 was definitely interesting as well. Is it even true? Is he making up fake origin stories for why he became a doctor to obscure the truth?)

the fact that crowley essentially says "one fabulous kiss and boom its sorted" when trying to get nina and maggie together, like that's how Love works. and his Last Ditch Effort at getting aziraphale to stay, to keep living in this comfortable existence they've carved out for themselves, to love him back, is a kiss. it's the most Human way he can think to express this love and desperation that is overflowing in him, because he knows that aziraphale loves humanity, they BOTH do. "to the world", and all that. "to us".

i wonder which kiss made him think of that. i wonder what historical event crowley saw, a miraculous kiss, and immediately realized "that is how humans love. this is what they do". was it in biblical times? was it from a romcom?

it's not even a GOOD kiss! neither of them have ever kissed before! its a messy smushing of lips and they're both shaking and crowley isn't sure if he's doing it right, aziraphale isn't sure what's Happening.

and aziraphale, in his fear, calls crowley's desperation "temptation". he forgives crowley for a sin that he himself has reprimanded himself for, many times over the years. its easier to blame his own falling in love on the demon himself. it's easier to backslide into an awful way of thinking that has kept you safe for millennia than take an unsteady step forward, a step where aziraphale isn't sure he'll have a place to land.

aziraphale is a guardian by nature, and what he does at the end of season 2 IS him trying to help. trying to protect, trying to fix. but for aziraphale to really break that cycle of running back to heaven for a secure attachment, he needs to realize how awful heaven is from the inside. because crowley sure as hell isn't opening up about what happened to him. because they never talk, and ESPECIALLY not about important things.

At first, I didn't really like what they did with Dolores in Season 2. She seemed like more of a 2-dimensional villain now. But upon rewatch, the weren't trying to set her up as a villain. She's intimidating, sure, and ruthless. But at no point does she do anything that's actually malicious. She knows that no matter what she does, a lot of people are going to die, and she has a clear idea of what she needs to do next in spite of this fact. She definitely has an "the ends will justify the means" mentality, but Westworld is one of the few shows I've seen that has had the balls to say, "Hey if the ENDS are stopping slavery, and the MEANS are killing the masters in cold blood, maybe there's a little more to this MORALITY thing than how confidently a radical pursues her goal". She doesn't hurt anyone innocent, and when someone resists her will, she'll voice her concerns but ultimately she respects their choice. She still feels genuine remorse for her oversights/things beyond her control.

THIS is what an anti-hero is! Not just "A bad person who we have to like because they're the main character". Seasons 2 & 3 don't try to make revolution look pretty or one-sided. But it also doesn't pretend like the hero is an irredeemable monster the second that upsetting the status quo starts to result in bloodshed... namely because the status quo was in itself horrible and violent, so blaming the victim for going "too far" to demand equal rights would be a tad intellectually dishonest. (Not that being intellectually dishonest has stopped other shows from framing the debate this way HINT HINT!) But yeah. When given more time to mull it over, I have to say she looks pretty hot in that ammo belt.

I see, we can connect the key visuals.

Only need one more key visual and the largest picture will be completed

I'm so happy for Roach in these last few episodes. Everyone else gets misery and Republic of Pirates drama, while Roach has the best weekend of his life. Good booze and a drag show. Headclamp torture he clearly enjoys. Some dancing. And then a spa day with Fang. My man is living it up.

sorry tumblr

it had to be done

I’ll never get over Blitz’s whole thing where he’s trying to convince Fizz (himself) that Stolas only wants him for sex cause he’s too scared of emotional intimacy that he can’t let himself believe Stolas loves him too-

Here to put my interpretation of "I forgive you " "Don't bother" because holy shit why did Neil have to punch me in the soul

Aziraphale said he forgives Crowley because he thinks Crowley regrets his actions, and Crowley says don't bother because he doesn't regret his actions and there's no reason for Aziraphale to say I forgive you for something Crowley wouldn't say sorry for

Just realized this painting/picture shows how extensive the burns are on Fizzarolli. His face, arms, and legs were expected, but you can see here they're also along his back and stomach, too

Me watching the last 15 minutes of Good Omens season 2 episode 6.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Not these two fuckers again. . .
