hi we are on the post apocalypse bus together can we hold hands

Smitten 😇

may i suggest a reframing of the ending by thinking about how it holds paradoxes

death IS unsatisfying and they are sad about it! they are traumatized and their words of forgiveness and love are better than any kiss. kissing the fingers is unique to their situation and proves they know they can’t just kiss and make up. they have healing to do. that they don’t get to do!!! so they say the truth to each other and chose to save the world they love and give everyone a chance INCLUDING THEMSELEVS. which is fake and which is real? why limit their true happiness to one reality? especially when this other reality is presented as ours! that we live in now!

this ending is so anti Catholic ideas of good and bad, a good death and a bad death. it’s just an end. they got a sad ending! they died fighting! they died together! god that’s sad! i don’t want to be patted on the head and be told they live happily together after. that’s not possible, not in our lives either. everything ends!!!

but then i DID get patted on the head and shown a world where they are peaceful until a mortal death. yes we should treasure our ephemerality! everything is already a copy or a collage of something else! it makes life special! the world runs on parody and collaboration!

and i’m so glad their relationship is so grey. my relationships are so grey. and then, paradoxically, they do have wedding rings! they believe in marriage! multiple things can be true! i feel seen. a big fat wet kiss or eternal happiness is not the pinnacle of queer success. that’s so subjective. why could cartesian duelism be the answer to the show that decides to reject there being one true religion. that’s not the thesis of the show. am i just too aro ace for this

And dat's what punk is really all about

Real photos of the event, since the original Twitter post seems been written by a bot using an AI image.

This pictures were taken by Enrico Scuro during the italian punk festival Bologna Rock in 1979.

Skiantos were considered an art, comedy and performative band and they leave the stage that night famously screaming: "You do not understand a fucking thing: this is avant-garde, you piece-of-shit audience."

What they did was conceptual and protest art, the denial of putting a show against the expectative of it. Punk was born in part as a rejection of the grandiosity of progressive rock: no 20-minute solos, no stages with pyrotechnics, no distance between the band and the listener.

But there's an irony that Skiantos pushed to the limit: as soon as punk became a spectacle, it also began to betray its own code. Counterculture and performance art.

As an aroace girly, I think people are placing too much importance on a kiss. It’s not needed when their relationship and bond does all the talking.

honestly that fingers to lips thing was so much more intimate and tender ans fitting than a kiss

coming online as someone who liked the finale

S3 of good omens isn't what it could've been, and you can tell it's supposed to be a bigger story. However,

-and here be many spoilers shead-

we got so many cool bits!

Maybe the reason so many people are upset with the good omens finale is due to our own fear of mortality?

I mean, Crowley and Aziraphale finally got to be together without heaven and hell stepping on their heels all the time. They finally bought that cottage, got married and enjoyed the rest of their mortal life in each other's company. That's exactly what so many fans wanted, just without the mortal part.

Do we think it's because the idea of death is just so tragic to us? The idea of them one day dying, just sounds so tragic, when that is the end all of us will one day see.

And I truly understand that fear. However, I think this ending was actually a good one. In fact, immortality to me sounds so much more scary than dying after living a fulfilling life with the one you love. I think this ending was truly ideal. The idea of going to heaven or hell has been eliminated from the world.

The whole system was broken and needed to be destroyed and rebuilt. I think that too is very symbolic.

The first gif is what we saw in the show. The second gif is Michael and David out of character in between takes (Michael is wearing his orange jacket, which Aziraphale/Asa is not wearing in the show).

Michael and David are holding hands in between takes and I am dying...

It Starts with Us

Our Universe exists because of them.

We know their story. We have their love. We are their Book of Life in this Universe and we will give them so many happy endings.

i do not understand how you can say that the ending somehow erases or destroys their relationship, that six thousand years "don't matter" anymore as if death erases love. as if death erases meaning. as if their love isn't literally the reason for creation.

as if the entire movie was not created out of love for terry pratchett and his stories, his life. as if his memory isn't the reason we have an ending to the story in the first place.

as if you cannot see and feel how much they cared, as if they haven't immortalized him yet again in the movie itself.

As an aroace girly, I think people are placing too much importance on a kiss. It’s not needed when their relationship and bond does all the talking.

As another aroace, the fact that they didn’t kiss is very important to me, actually. Their relationship is irrevocably their own, and they showed that throughout the episode

(holding hands, Azi bringing Crowley to heaven despite the other angels protests, Crowley trusting Azi enough to disguise himself to go to hell, Aziraphale pressing his fingers to his lips and then pressing them to Crowleys?! Discussing the fate of the world together?!)

looking at all of this, I truly don’t understand why people are upset. In my opinion, that was never something that these two would have valued in their relationship, and I think the only reason Crowley kissed Aziraphale in season 2 was to show how serious and scared he was; it wasn’t meant to be romantic
