I’m Loving The Sudden Conflict Between The Good Omens Fandom And The Spn Fandom. Like Why Tf Are We

i’m loving the sudden conflict between the good omens fandom and the spn fandom. like why tf are we arguing which one is better? which one sent an angel to super hell after admitting his gay feelings? that’s what i thought.

this aged so poorly lmfao

i want the fourth episode so bad. why would tom hiddleston make me so suspicious of the end? king really made me so nervous for what.

bro ship wars aside, if azriel doesn’t end up w gwyn (which he might not bc let’s be real no one knows who’s endgame) i want them to be friends so badly. like their friendship could be unmatched. same thing if he doesn’t end up w elain. i just like all the characters and i think their relationships, platonic or romantic, are important.

i absolutely ADORE aziraphale and crowley as characters, and their relationship like. they're married they're divorced they're pining desperately they're in the awkward flirting stage they're best friends they have all the genders they have no genders they're older than the earth itself they're the most middle aged ever they go on dates they get drunk and talk nonsense together, they look at eachother like THAT "anthony janthony crowley and aziraphale zira fell" they wear glasses when they dont need to they're gay dads they're wine aunts they have no children they're complete opposites they're the exact same really they were in love before the first rain even fell they're poetic and star crossed they probably accidentally inspired every single romance book trope but they also. just like and care about eachother a whole bunch and im OBSESSED with it truly no one is doing it like them

@ the good omens vs spn fandom war happening on my dash rn. pleaseeee all of you go touch grass. please go wallow in dirt and weeds and come back refreshed in a week, because the things i am reading with my own two eyes are Insane.

the disrespect you all are showing to ace/arospec people in these posts is absolutely astounding.

friendship and romance aren't cut and dry. they aren't opposites, nor are they exclusive. there are so many ways to have healthy romantic relationships-- not even to mention the myriad of queer-platonic combinations! just because *your* experience of romance (queer or otherwise) is centered around physicality doesn't mean it's like that for everyone else.

frankly, it's quite insulting to finally find an aro/ace safe space (like the good omens fandom has been for me and many others) and be bullied out because of... the author's tweets? a second season announcement?

a note for us hellers: we should know better by now than to expect perfection from authors. we shouldn't excuse homophobia, but... that's... not what's going on here.

good omens is a stunning tribute to the happy ending: love triumphs over evil, fate, capitalism, and a whole lot of really annoying paperwork.

art is for interpretation. that interpretation doesn't have to be queer.

the beauty of good omens is that it's a story for everyone. that's part of the reason the fandom's been active for over 30 years! it's an excellent queer allegory, for sure. but you're allowed to have other opinions. that's what fandoms are for.

i would argue that good omens is explicitly queer. i read crowley and aziraphale as queer-platonic life partners. and frankly, i find their relationship so much more fulfilling than many other canonically queer canons i've seen. they're treated with respect in canon. their love literally saves the world.

yeah, they don't kiss. but consider the large part of the lgbtqia community you're leaving out if you exclude arospec and acespec people from this discussion.

by saying good omens is a queerbait, you're saying aromantic and asexual people don't belong in the queer community.

idc how many times i have to say this, but good omens was and is not a queerbait. the future remains to be seen, of course, but i (personally) have faith in everyone involved and neil gaiman to do these characters and their world justice.

look to sherlock, merlin and supernatural if you want to watch queer-coded and canonically gay characters be exploited and killed for little more than a longing glance.

aromantic and asexual people have a hard enough time being embraced as it is. please think about the message you want to send before you post. thanks.

tl;dr y'all talk about wanting nuanced queer and arospec representation until you get it.

No I’m ok, it’s just the way that Jesper is probably one of the first men that Inej has felt safe with since the menagerie and Inej is one of the only people who loves Jesper fully and unconditionally regardless of his faults and now they have to leave each other for separate goals that got me for a second there
