Auuugh, what the fuck, what the fuck, Aziraphale died feeling like he missed all the opportunities to be with the love of his life, feeling rejected by him, afraid that his love also feels that heās a lazy, gluttonous, prideful hypocrite, thinking that the love he feels is selfish and needs to be sacrificed for the greater good, feeling like all of his attempts to 'do the right thing' failed, thinking that he is selfish and morally compromised and has to swallow and hide his feelings and go along faithfully with someone whose judgement he respect more than his own, this is the mindset he died in, these were the last feelings he felt as Aziraphale, what the fuck, what the fuck!!!
maybe a helpful way to cope with the finale is asking yourself what your happiness surrounding good omens depended on before. was it canon? or was it the fan art, the fan fic, the memes, the discord groups, the funny tags, the whole of the community of people who love these characters? weāre still here and a significant portion if us rejects the good omens 3 official fanfic, in favour of us. they canāt kill crowley and aziraphale in any way that matters

And, now that we have the full show canon, it's apparent that this is what the primary show writer intended to convey. So I can't get mad at people for seeing that.
Tbf, I'm sure plenty of people who liked this note in S2 draw the line at how it played out in S3. Even if it's not my favorite way of looking at the story in total, it's a valid interpretive lens on S2 that Crowley, who has been forcibly ejected by heaven, is showing Aziraphale, who is still somewhat (and increasingly reluctantly) affiliated with heaven, another perspective.
But this is a far cry from S3's message that a) Crowley is solely responsible for any courage, understanding, or growth on Aziraphale's part; and b) it is fitting for Aziraphale to cede control over his own fate, even to the point of death, to Crowley.
And it has been heartening for me to see that even people who have a more critical take on Aziraphale than I do think the S3 message is bonkers.
I hear you thinking "but S2 does show that Aziraphale has influenced Crowley!" And I agree that the joint magic trick theme shows that Aziraphale has helped Crowley learn to trust. But that, to me, is outweighed by moments like Crowley introducing Aziraphale to food, Crowley playing Socrates in Edinburgh, and Crowley scolding Aziraphale for hosting the ball.
I see tiny indications of what was to come in S1, but overall it feels like the S1 narrative actually respects Aziraphale as a subject, an individual in his own right, rather than Crowley's puppet, and shows a more mutually beneficial partnership between them. While S3 turns Aziraphale into an object through which Crowley realizes his One True Heroic Purpose.
And to the extent that S3 does prove Aziraphale right (via some terribly written dialogue) by confirming that Crowley is good and that it would be wrong to run off to Alpha Centauri while humanity suffered, it never feels like victory or vindication for Aziraphale. Instead his correctness on these points merely confirms that Crowley is the new Messiah.
Maybe I'm just annoyed with myself for expecting S3 to recontextualize this stuff, to clearly show that Aziraphale has influenced Crowley, too. To bring them back into balance, shades of grey, different but equal.
Okay but did you actually see his performance as Ken. Because that is what gave me respect for Ryan Gosling. I did not have the hots for him as Ken, but I respected him as an actor in a way I never did before. He understood that excessively weird assignment.

Credit to Production Designer Michael Ralph and delighted when these details are highlighted. I wish I could post bts tests of it and a lot
She would post more BTS footage but she ādoesnāt feel safeā. I am absolutely raging. Fuck everyone who has attacked her on social media. Disgusting behavior, full stop. No excuses.
As someone who hated the finale, I want to make it very clear that harassing the cast and crew is disgusting behaviour. These feelings should stay in the fandom discourse and never reach the people who were doing their job.
Seconding the above. Also speaking as someone who is heartbroken and furious about the finale: Why would you ever think itās acceptable to harass, threaten, or attack people about it? That really is disgusting. Fix your behavior.
imagine dealing w an international crisis involving precious artifacts and someone is like ādonāt worry I know a guyā and itās a dorky connecticut college professor named henry who slips into his slutsona and suddenly heās capable of saving the world w the power of his whip & fedora
you donāt know where the guy is. you donāt know where the guy is going. but you do know heās on the case w a 98% success rate and his tits are out
#this man gets uncomfortable and overwhelmed when 20 y/o college girls hit on himĀ #but take off his glassesĀ #put on his fedoraĀ #and this man is ready to find Atlantis in three to eight business daysĀ (via @sansakenobiā)
