I'm tired of It
homophobic person: YOU ARE GOING TO HELL FOR BEING GAY
me, sitting in the circle made of crystals and black candles, shuffling my tarot deck, in the middle of pagan ritual, praying to Old Gods in the room full of pentagrams and witchcraft symbols: are you sure about that reason, sir?
me: makes a dead mom joke
everyone: um thats not normal
me: ehhh it was 6 years ago
them: ....um yeah....exactly

Good Omens + favourite book scenes in the show.
Bonus: one scene they made even better in the show:
if i see one more post accusing neil gaiman of queerbaiting good omens fans even though
- he’s said that he wants LGBTQIA+ fans to feel valid in interpreting aziraphale and crowley however they want to for the past three decades
- neil has repeatedly and publicly said that he supports interpretations of A&C being in love, queer, trans, nb, or a-spec its just that labeling their love is difficult because they’re divine beings not contained by human ideals of romance and gender
- that tweet going around of neil saying that fans were “reading too much into” A&C’s relationship was only a partial screencap of a longer tweet in which neil was supporting queer interpretations of his characters but no one on this site has reading comprehension or the ability to use google so everyone saw the incomplete text of the tweet and assumed neil was being homophobic when in reality that couldn’t be further from the truth
- the book good omens was published in the year 1990 when it was much more risky to display openly queer characters in media than it is now
- the show good omens was made as a memorial to co-author terry pratchett who died in 2015, so obviously, making significant changes to the plot gaiman and pratchett wrote together would be full of emotional hardship and grief for neil gaiman who is no doubt extremely upset that he is making this adaptation without terry alongside him. of course he isn’t going to deviate from the book since terry can’t approve the changes.
- there are a million ways to show love between two characters that don’t involve kissing or sex and good omens used every single one of them between aziraphale and crowley
- good omens already has many radical messages outside of A&C’s relationship (it’s literally a book philosophizing on the dangers of war and protracted conflict and questioning our understanding of christian theology. it also includes issues of feminism, anti-capitalism, climate change and pollution, and nuclear disarmament.) which cannot be ignored especially in todays political climate and to pretend that this show is as problematic as others i could mention just because neil won’t call two genderless creatures gay is reductive and frankly insulting
im calling the fucking cops
-signed a queer non-binary person who has been a fan of this book for over 5 years and won’t put up with any more fake woke tumblr bullshit from people who cant be bothered to do their research
we know shane is willing to dedicate time to writing and recording dumb songs for unsolved so WHERE THE HELL IS MY MUSICAL EPISODE HUH??? imagine an episode starting off normally and then halfway through the shot pans back and they get up on the desk and start singing about ghosts and murder
I have decided to Stan forever
Tears in my eyes
Shane Madej from Buzzfeed Unsolved could defeat Thanos!
He would just, to his face, say: i dont believe your real.
That “Shane is a demon” theory lacks creativity so I’ll give you my spin on it: in German and Polish foklore there’s this mountain spirit named Rübezahl/Liczyrzepa and his two most prominent traits are that he’s tall and he likes to mess with people. And if that doesn’t sound like Shane I don’t even know.
Get woke Buzzfeed Unsolved fandom, Shane’s a trickster mountain spirit and he’s probably annoying Ryan as a punishment for littering when went camping as a teen.

Tinsley: I’ll be seeing you.
Ricky: Where?
Tinsley: Huh?
Ricky: Where will you be seeing me again?
Tinsley: Like, in general. I’ll see—like, the next time you do something bad, I’ll be there.
Ricky: Oh.
Tinsley: To catch you.
Ricky: I thought you were inviting me somewhere.
Tinsley: Why would I do that?
Ricky: That’s what I was wondering. Why would you do that?
Tinsley: Like a party? Or, like, dinner or something?
Ricky: I don’t know, I thought you planned the evening.
Tinsley: No, I meant to arrest you. I’ll arrest you later, again.
Ricky: Okay.
Tinsley: [turns around to leave but turns back]
Tinsley: Did you want to grab dinner or something? Because I’m free–
Ricky: [shakes his head]
Tinsley: Okay.
