as both a good omens and red dead enthusiast i feel robbed
so i finally watched good omens after years of putting it off. . .
this is how i cope with most things
yknow I think this is a conversation a large portion of this fandom is not ready for but truly we really do need to start addressing crowley's anger issues and the way he treated aziraphale throughout this season before we can even begin unpicking why aziraphale would choose to leave him like that
like it's soooooo easy for us to be angry with aziraphale and call him unreasonable and stupid, and it's so easy for us to see crowley as the misunderstood hero, the jilted love interest, at the hands of aziraphale, because we know everything crowley knows, and we also understand why he's so quick to anger regarding anything concerning heaven or hell or aziraphale's involvement with such, but aziraphale doesn't. aziraphale doesn't understand why crowley blows up at him with no warning every time he involves himself with heaven's goings-on. aziraphale doesn't get why crowley has been so on edge and miserable this whole time. because crowley won't fucking talk to him. he just gets angry, makes aziraphale feel small and stupid for trying to do good, without explaining that it's because he's scared and he's trying to protect him. he refuses to be honest with aziraphale about his own fears and vulnerabilities and is so determined to keep aziraphale innocent of all the truth about heaven that he never says a word, never voices how scared he is for him, and then gets angry with him when he makes "wrong" decisions as a result of that not knowing. we all know why crowley holds onto so much rage and resentment towards heaven, but aziraphale doesn't. all he sees is someone whom he expects to support him put him down constantly, be consistently exasperated with him, make him feel unheard. literally all the things that alienated him from heaven and other angels in the first place. I can guarantee aziraphale would not have seen heaven as his only option in that moment if crowley hadn't immediately exploded at him rather than just trying to discuss this sensibly with him. we know why crowley reacted the way he did, and so can understand his pain and recognise him as a victim in this scenario, but aziraphale doesn't know the half of it! because crowley has intentionally hidden shit from him for years! the way he shows his concern is so unproductive it's painful to watch. all of that fear and desperation to protect aziraphale only manifests as misdirected anger at him when it matters most, and all it does is push aziraphale further away, makes him less willing to comply, makes him feel like he's just being bent to someone else's will all over again, and he can't fucking understand why crowley is being like this with him, and it absolutely contributed to his decision to leave crowley behind. as easy at it would be to make aziraphale out to be the bad guy here, it's still so important to acknowledge just all the ways crowley drove aziraphale further into heaven's arms all on his own.
Either you're frolicking in this field with me or you're frolicking in this field against me.

Good Omens (2019-) Hannibal (2013-2015)
After I spent a whole evening trying to replicate Arthur's handwriting for an illustration (it was... humbling) I decided to make an ABC from his letters. I know it is not perfect because Rockstar used real handwriting for the journal (i guess) and not a font cus there are more variations for every letter. I probably copied his most boring 'L', but it was the entry from the Lennnaaay night... Also i wasn't able to find a capital X and Z so that's why those are off.
Feel free to use this as a reference if you want xx
Okay, I obviously made the above post as a leetle joke, but since it's getting not insignificant traction, I do want to offer a more serious note.
I love this about Arthur. It's probably my favorite thing about him, but let me use this fresh new RDR2 meta post to clarify exactly what I mean. Despite the aspects of his personality & appearance that are traditionally hypermasculine, and despite how often he is annoyed with people (especially incompetents or people who meddle with his plans), Arthur is decidedly NOT annoyed by the social performance of femininity or by traits that are/were frequently stereotyped as feminine. Ever. Regardless of subject. I might go so far as to say he seems to canonically prefer hanging out with women and with "feminine" men.
Your long-winded, bullet-pointed analysis is below!
okay found a picture that gave me so much. Miles or Ganke (most likely Ganke) has a skateboard (and aren’t the fairy lights cute? I like to think Miles did that)
and they got the googly-eye rice cooker, hot water boiler*, the spices(?)/sauces, the fully stocked mini-fridge, AND a record player (that’s for sure Aaron’s influence on Miles)
AND look at Ganke’s setup. It’s crazy. There’s no way Ganke985 isn’t real. How much did this shit cost.
Their whiteboard that I didn’t show is also very cool, the little “fighting godzilla” drawings under all those equations is perfect. There’s also some shelves for shoes, really love that Miles actually is a sneakerhead :3
He was a punk she did ballet: ❌
He and she are both punks and have a crush on a same art baby: ✅
